I have never seen such a crazy director ask a 40-year-old woman to play a 14-year-old girl.
It's a pity that now the white and thin are popular in domestic entertainment, and they lack the fullness and shyness of their teenage years. The girl played by Liu Xiaoqing did not stare and pout and stick out her tongue, but her expression and posture were full of youthful atmosphere.
When director Liu Dayin was planning to make "Wu Zetian", he had already decided to let Liu Xiaoqing, who was already a household name at that time, star. The reason is that she is the first public divorce in domestic entertainment, and said the phrase "success is the best tonic for women", which is very consistent with Wu Zetian's character image.
But at that time, Liu Xiaoqing was not interested in playing the empress, and she had to act from her teenage years to old age, which was very difficult, and it was easy to be scolded if she didn't act well.
So when director Liu Dayin sent an invitation to Liu Xiaoqing, Liu Xiaoqing directly refused.
Later, the director thought that only Liu Xiaoqing could play Wu Zetian well, so he began to chase Liu Xiaoqing and beat both hard and soft, and once put Liu Xiaoqing on the moral high ground, and finally Liu Xiaoqing was forced to agree to act.
But the crew only had a pitiful six million funds at that time, and the actors' salaries fell again and again, and the money was all spent on service.
But Liu Xiaoqing did not care about the salary, focused on script performance, and began Wu Zetian's filming with a salary of 300 yuan per episode.
Liu Xiaoqing acted from the age of 16 to 80 when Wu Zetian was not only not scolded by the audience, but also praised as an unsurpassable legend.
has become the closest to history and the most classic Wu Zetian.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zongwan was wronged in the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Xiaoqing helped him out.
Cao Cao, who became the emperor as he wished, did not love his wife and loved Loli instead. I can't believe it, Liu Xiaoqing is over forty years old at this time, and she is at the peak of her appearance and acting skills, and her powerful aura compares Bao Guoan.
And Bao Guoan, as an old drama bone, although he played Li Shimin in the play, but only played a wave of soy sauce, because the protagonists in the play are Wu Zetian and Li Zhi.
Bao Guoan was once known as a "cookie-cutter" actor because his voice was too distinctive and magnetic.
Although he played Li Shimin very well, very domineering and regal, but for some reason, I always felt that this Li Shimin was Cao Li angry. Even Bao Guoan himself thought that Cao Cao's filter was too heavy, and he acted like Cao Cao.
At that time, when filming the scene of Wu Meiniang sleeping in bed, Bao Guoan did not want to appear naked, But the director thought that this was the only way,
In order to show Li Shimin's domineering side leakage, make the scene of the sleeping chamber more visually impactful.
After listening to the director's words, Bao Guoan could only dedicate himself to art, and the effect was indeed surprisingly good. Bao Guoan's acting skills have the ultimate visual enjoyment, coupled with Liu Xiaoqing's wonderful performance, which makes Li Shimin and Wu Meiniang classics.
It turned out that we were all deceived by Chen Baoguo, and we thought that Bai Qiye, who was the gate of the mansion, was Chen Baoguo's peak.
I didn't expect to play a "soft rice man" and also hang traffic stars.
What's even more incredible is that he was 38 years old at the time, and his face already had obvious wrinkles, but he still played Li Zhi's youthful temperament vividly.
In fact, all this thanks to Liu Xiaoqing, Mao Geping is the most capable man in China, because Liu Xiaoqing's makeup with a super age span sensation throughout the country, known as a magic makeup artist.
At that time, the opportunity to make Mao Geping fire was fooled by Liu Xiaoqing. Compared with making up Liu Xiaoqing as a girl, how to turn Chen Baoguo, who is nearly 40 years old, into a youthful feeling is the real problem.
Because the man's face can't do too much retouching, otherwise it will appear very fat and powdery and not in line with the character. Mao Geping used a lot of makeup techniques, but he could not restore Chen Baoguo's sense of youth.
Later, under Mao Geping's repeated thinking, he created his own "facelift", which uses a hood and other auxiliary tools to tighten the face.
Chen Baoguo looked at the image of the spirited teenager in the mirror, and couldn't believe that this was himself, allowing Chen Baoguo to successfully avoid the fate of being scolded.
"Wu Zetian" not only made Liu Xiaoqing but also made Mao Geping popular, and let two of them with his own hands
Over-aged actors complete almost impossible performances, which makes "Wu Zetian" a legendary work.
