The phrase "father and son have no overnight feud" does not seem to be well reflected in Li Baotian and son Li Yu.
Because of their "personality", they not only have "hatred", but also the "overnight" time is calculated in years.
But there is also a word called "next-generation relative", Li Baotian's daughter-in-law Chen Yanlin is familiar with this truth and uses it well.
The conflict between father and son for many years was resolved overnight, and Li Baotian was also allowed to take his wife to live with his daughter-in-law willingly;
In the face of such a change, is Li Baotian ignoring the previous suspicions? Or did the daughter-in-law touch him with love?
The iron mask is selfless, and his own son does not let go
Seeing his son when he was a teenager, Li Baotian seemed to see himself;
Father and son have to say that the behavior when they were young was almost the same.
It stands to reason that such a similar father and son should be closer, but both of them have a stubborn heart.
The little one made a mistake, was not convinced, and the old stubborn temper came up and did not look back, which led to Li Baotian not even attending his son's wedding.
We all know that Li Baotian is a national first-class actor, and like other old drama bones, he has contributed to his acting career in this life.
In order to be able to act seriously and responsibly, Li Baotian can be said to have "offended" many people in this circle.
Of course, the offense in this is not because of bad acting skills and offending people;
It is because of the focus on performance that there is a conflict of interest with many people.
These people are not only "outsiders", but also their son Li Yu.
Li Yu likes acting like his father Li Baotian and wants to get ahead.
But Li Baotian, who has experienced decades of "wind and sun", does not want his son to enter the entertainment industry from the bottom of his heart.
If there is a father, there will be a son, and the more Li Baotian does not let him do it, the more he will do the opposite.
Facts have proved that Li Baotian who did not listen to the old man and suffered losses in front of him was lucky, but Li Yu was not.
At that time, Li Yu thought that as long as I was admitted to Chinese opera, I would also be able to learn professional knowledge and become an excellent actor like my father Li Baotian.
But again and again the results were unqualified, causing him to be a little unconvinced;
It is clear that there is a relatively "hard" relationship, why study for the exam again and again like ordinary people.
As an ordinary person, if you can't get into the Central Academy of Drama, it's not a big deal, just take the exam;
But as the son of the old drama bone Li Baotian, Li Yu feels that it is indeed a bit humiliating that he can't pass the exam.
So he went home and told his parents if he could find a relationship to accommodate him so that he could pass the grades and successfully enter the Chinese opera.
As soon as Li Baotian heard his son say this, he immediately told him very seriously that if you want to go to Chinese opera, you should rely on your own strength to take the exam.
Including in a later interview, Li Baotian also specifically said:
"If you have strength, you will go up, and if you don't have strength, even if you help, it will not be yours"
It can be seen that Li Baotian's principle will not be broken, even if it is his own son;
Li Yu, who heard this, was also very unconvinced in his heart, since he was unwilling to help, he would take the test himself, anyway, it was not himself who was embarrassed.
After years of hard work, he finally successfully admitted to Chinese opera;
Although it took 6 years, he was at least admitted.
opened the road of being an actor like his father, and also lowered the relationship between Li Yu and Li Baotian to the "freezing point";
He had a grudge with his son because of "acting"
Although Li Yu was successfully admitted to Chinese opera after some years of training, his acting talent was still far behind his father Li Baotian.
Because of Li Baotian's relationship, Li Yu also starred in some roles in film and television dramas, but they were not recognized by his father.
Including in some of Li Yu's later performances, he was also criticized and educated by Li Baotian because his acting skills were not in place, and even directly cursed in front of everyone.
These behaviors also made Li Yu always incomprehensible, and often angry with Li Baotian.
But for Li Baotian's character, since he decided to do this, he must treat it well.
Because in Li Baotian's heart, acting well is a responsible behavior for the audience;
If you don't want to act well, then leave early, at least that's what he said to his son Li Yu.
In order to make Li Yu realize that acting requires an attitude, he accompanied Li Yu to stay in the crew until the end of his scene.
A full hundred days of companionship was quite torturous for Li Yu;
Because of Li Baotian's professional attitude, he did not dare to relax in the slightest.
As we all know, when we are young, our parents always have some behavior that we can't understand;
Li Yu is the same, he even feels very depressed with his father.
But these are not the starting points of the contradiction, the real starting point began when Li Yu changed careers to director.
Li Baotian has several principles in his career that cannot be broken, one of which is not to shoot advertisements, and the other is not to act in bad films.
No matter how high the money is, he just wants to bring high-quality works to everyone through his own efforts.
The starting point of the conflict between father and son began when the son wanted to film.
At that time, because of the existence of Li Baotian, his father, in film and television dramas;
So when he learned that Li Yu wanted to be a director filming, someone took the initiative to invest money.
One of the conditions for investment is to require Li Baotian to appear in the play, and there are still many scenes, and after listening to it, Li Yu feels that his father will definitely help him.
At the beginning, when Li Baotian learned that Li Yu could film by himself, he was still happy for this son in his heart;
Although the excitement in my heart did not show, I still took the initiative to ask to read the script.
But this look was bad, Li Baotian scolded Li Yu: "Take any bad script and let me act."
After seeing his father angry, and seeing the investment contract;
Only then did it be discovered that the contract stated that if his father Li Baotian was unwilling to star, he would face huge compensation.
Panicked, Li Yu knelt down and confessed his mistake to Li Baotian, and told his father that if he breached the contract, the compensation would directly bankrupt their family.
Li Baotian, who is crawling in the film and television industry, also knows the consequences of the "overlord clause" contract signed by his son;
During the filming, he didn't even talk to his son and forced himself to finish the act, and he left directly at the end of the scene.
He had never seen his father do this to himself, and Li Yu also learned that his father was angry;
But every time Li Baotian met Li Yu after that, he was unwilling to treat him, which also led to the escalation of the conflict between the two.
In itself, Li Yu wanted to apologize to his father, but Li Baotian's unwelcome also directly made Li Yu dissatisfied;
Why did Li Baotian and his son get along like this, after all, it was father and son;
Many people think that the matter is not big, why bother like this?
But in fact, not only the father and son of him and Li Yu are like this, but also Li Baotian and his father.
Stubborn by nature, regret is not the beginning
Li Baotian, born in 1946, was given high hopes by his family since he was a child because he was the eldest son in his family.
According to Li Baotian's words, he was under pressure at a young age.
He liked acting, but his father asked him to be honest and go to college.
For this reason, the rebellion of his youth also in order to pursue his dreams, he broke with his father and ran away from home alone.
It is not difficult to see that at this time, Li Baotian was very stubborn and unwilling to bow his head and stick to his principles.
After leaving, in order to better study acting, he directly worked as a "clown" in a theater class for five years.
It was also during this time that his father died of illness, and he hurried back without being able to see him for the last time.
Regretful, he saw his mother and young brother alone, and decided to take on the responsibilities of the family.
But he just entered the work of the literary troupe, and successively learned the news of his brother's car accident;
This situation not only shattered him, but also broke his own mother.
Since then, Li Baotian's mother has lived in grief, depressed until death.
Throughout the death of his mother, Li Baotian said that he was very powerless and had been living in self-blame.
He felt that if he had not run away, his father would not have fallen ill and died;
If the father is still there, the younger brother will not have had a car accident, let alone make the mother lose hope in life.
These experiences have led to Li Baotian's current personality, and this personality continues on his son Li Yu.
After that, Li Baotian continued to study acting seriously for decades, and through his own hard work, he was successfully admitted to Chinese opera and met his lover.
Because they were in the same school and because of their excellent studies, the two stayed in Chinese opera together when they graduated.
After that, Li Baotian began to appear in major film and television dramas, first playing a clown in "Breaking into the Rivers and Lakes";
Until he won the Feitian Award for Best Actor, it was a hard journey.
Mr. Li Baotian can be said to be a late bloomer, and his brilliant acting career began at the age of 46;
Although Li Baotian does not have a very outstanding appearance, he has let his acting skills be recognized by the public;
In order to stick to his bottom line, teacher Li Baotian broke with his son and did not even attend his son's wedding.
Fortunately, Li Yu met his understanding daughter-in-law, and even broke the deadlock that he and his father could never break.
Resolve with love, regardless of previous suspicions
Chen Yanlin is 16 years younger than Li Yu, and this age difference also makes Chen Yanlin feel that Li Yu is very secure.
Chen Yanlin, who just came out for internship in 2009, is not familiar with the world, and there are often many problems when performing in the play;
But at that time, everyone seemed to have no time to deal with her "little transparency".
But Li Yu is different, every time Chen Yanlin looks for him, he will tell her patiently and carefully;
Over time, Li Yu had different feelings for this little girl.
It was also because of Li Yu's difference that Chen Yanlin became particularly dependent on him;
Not surprisingly, the two were together;
But at that time, Chen Yanlin did not know the relationship between Li Yu and Li Baotian.
So it wasn't until the two were about to get married that Chen Yanlin knew that Li Baotian was Li Yu's father.
When Li Yu got married, Li Baotian did not participate at all, which further aggravated their conflict.
The careful Chen Yanlin did not let their relationship go bad, and even let the two father and son resolve their "grudge" for many years.
Chinese often say that the next generation of relatives also has a very significant performance here in Li Baotian.
Every time Chen Yanlin told Li Baotian that his granddaughter missed her grandfather, he couldn't help but want to see the child's heart, and accepted Chen Yanlin's invitation again and again.
And every time she went to the house, Chen Yanlin would chat with Li Baotian enthusiastically;
In the face of a lovely granddaughter and a confidant daughter-in-law, even the cold heart will be melted.
Especially knowing that because of the incompatibility of taste, the daughter-in-law specially went to learn her favorite meals;
This moved Li Baotian even more.
At Chen Yanlin's ingenious invitation, Li Baotian also took his wife Hu Ying to move directly into their home.
Accumulated over time, grinding out the contradictions between father and son;
After all, when they see a family with their family and happy harmony, no one wants to remember who to hate.
epilogue
Li Baotian had a very unsatisfactory life in the first half of his life, and he has always felt guilty about the "rebellion" of his youth;
Therefore, he worked hard to break out of his own world, and he has been with his lover Hu Ying so far.
Although he and his son were constantly conflicted in middle age, with the arrival of daughter-in-law Chen Yanlin, the family became very complete.
In any case, as long as the family is at home, there is no knot between the relatives.
I believe that as long as we have the persistence of teacher Li Baotian, we will be able to see more excellent works.
