If it were not for the combination of Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, Liu Dan would not have had so much exposure off the screen, but this kind of exit, is it really what he wants? Today's Liu Dan is also too old, and the drama is rarely filmed, the so-called rubbing traffic, what is the meaning of him?
After Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei divorced, the daughter XiaoNuomi lived with her grandparents, and Every appearance of Liu Dan was bound to be asked by the media about the latest situation of the child, and Liu Dan had to become a spokesperson for her granddaughter Xiaonuomi, but such an exit was questioned by many people that Liu Dan was exchanging children for traffic. But in fact, whether before or after the divorce of Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, Liu Dan, as a father-in-law, vigorously defended his daughter-in-law Yang Mi, and even at the moment when there was very little intersection, Liu Dan never said a bad word about Yang Mi in public.
In fact, Liu Dan's acting career is not smooth, acting for decades, but rarely starring in the main role, only shaping the image of countless classic supporting roles.
Liu Dan's ancestors were in business, the family rules were strict, when he came up with the idea of being an actor, he was first strongly opposed by his father, even if he successfully entered the entertainment circle under many insistences, but his acting career was not satisfactory.
Liu Dan's family is ordinary, he has just entered the entertainment industry, there is no network, no resources, can only run the dragon set in various crews, in addition to the background board-like role, there are really few scenes with lines, even so, Liu Dan still insisted on a dragon set career for more than ten years with a passion for acting.
In 1980, Liu Dan cooperated with Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi and others to shoot "Shanghai Beach", and this TV series with the love and hatred of the Shanghai gangs in the Republic of China period was well received as soon as it was broadcast, liu Dan also successfully went out of the circle with the big villain role Feng Jingyao in the play, he perfectly integrated the domineering villain image with the infinite love for his children in the play, and the circle of fans was numerous. And this year, Liu Dan is already 36 years old, in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, it is not easy to be famous in his 30s.
"Shanghai Beach" can be said to be a drama that changed Liu Dan's fate, but also a turning point in his career, Feng Jingyao's successful shaping, but also let Liu Dan be more directors, producers attention, and even Hong Kong TVB also cast an olive branch to him - only in the two years after "Shanghai Beach", Liu Dan starred in "Parting Hook", "Family Affection", "Discovery Bay", "Passerby", "Dragon and Tiger Double Hegemony", "Mr. Foshan Zan" and many other Hong Kong TVB tv series, compared to the previous years, it can be said that it is very prolific.
In 1983, Liu Dan cooperated with Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling to shoot the TV series "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", and he also achieved the peak of his acting career with the role of Hong Qigong. Since then, he has played Hong Qigong four times in "The Hero of the Condor" and "The Legend of the Archery Hero", becoming a veritable "Hong Qigong professional household".
He has devoted half his life to the role of Hong Qigong, and has achieved the transcendence from playing the role to himself from playing the role to himself in terms of age and performance. "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" and "The Condor Hero" have been remade many times, but there are very few people who play Hong Qigong, and there are already predecessors in front of the tower, and how dare the younger generations easily touch it.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, who has starred in a role 4 times, the remake time spans 10 years, but it is still played by the same person, I am afraid that Liu Dan is the only one in the entertainment industry.
With the success of Hong Qigong as a foreshadowing, Liu Dan also began to be favored by Jin Yong dramas, he played Tian Boguang, a strange elf in Zhou Runfa's version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", he was a respectable and angry Wu Sangui in Liang Chaowei's version of "Deer Ding", he played He Taichong, who was loved and hated in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", and also played the majestic Emperor Taiji in "The Green Blood Sword", and cao Cao who used power in "Luoshen". In that era when Jin Yong drama dominated the screen, Liu Dan successfully supported the name of the golden supporting role of Jin Yong drama with his acting skills, even if he was never the protagonist, he was also an indispensable existence in Jin Yong drama.
From the art for decades, Liu Dan has been conscientious and has never had a warbler or swallow around him. In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, Liu Dan gave his family a sense of security.
With the increase of age, Liu Dan has gradually faded out of the entertainment circle, especially after yang mi and Liu Kaiwei divorced, Liu Dan shouldered the responsibility of raising and accompanying his granddaughter XiaoNuomi. Whenever xiao sticky rice is mentioned, Liu Dan's face is always filled with a happy smile, like a loving grandfather's face. Yang Mi also made fun of his father-in-law queuing up to hold his granddaughter, and the custody of the two divorced xiaoluomi belonged to Liu Kaiwei, which was afraid that Liu Dan's help was indispensable, after all, Liu Dan's love for his granddaughter was beyond doubt. Although it is often misunderstood to rub the heat of Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, and began to use children for hot searches, the low-key Liu Dan has never explained.
Nowadays, Liu Dan has put more energy into accompanying his family, and occasionally filming is worthy of the title of old drama bone. In 2017, a thousand-episode TV series "Love Home" successfully evoked everyone's memories of Feng Jingyao and even Hong Qigong, played by Liu Dan. From the art of decades has been doing supporting roles, but do not want to play the leading role in the age of 70 years old, he portrayed the miserliness and funny of Xiong Shugen in the play to the fullest, the entertainment industry can play the main role at this age of the actor must not be many, and his success is also the biggest affirmation of his acting skills.
In 2020, the 76-year-old Liu Dan stood on his own podium for the first time, at the TVB Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony, Liu Dan won the Thousands of Brilliant Entertainer Awards, became the most eye-catching existence, adhered to the cause of most of his life, and finally got the authoritative affirmation, the star evaluation is deserved, and Liu Dan himself once looked at the trophy and cried with excitement.
On such occasions, it is inevitable that you will be asked about your granddaughter XiaoNuomi, Liu Dan directly revealed that her granddaughter is a fan of chasing dramas, and even stayed up late to watch Grandpa's works and communicate ideas, Liu Dan's award is also a beautiful gift to Xiao Glutinous Rice.
In August this year, Liu Dan's TV series "Seven Princesses" has been finalized, and he is still filming at the age of nearly eighty, on the one hand, he is extremely passionate about acting, on the other hand, it should also be to meet the wishes of his granddaughter Xiaonuomi to chase the drama, and we also look forward to Liu Dan's wonderful performance in the new drama.
