At that time, in the filming of the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made a big oolong, director Wang Fulin: "You still play a Zhao Zilong, I didn't think you even know how to ride a horse, you also deserve?" ”
In 1990, the classic TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began to be filmed, which cost 170 million yuan, which was definitely a huge production at that time.
In order to present the heroes in this historical masterpiece, director Wang Fulin organized a large-scale actor audition, and many popular actors participated in auditions, hoping to play their favorite roles.
Zhang Guangbei was a well-known actor at that time, he was bent on playing the role of his idol Zhao Yun, and after coming to the crew, he found the director with confidence and said that he wanted to audition for the role of Zhao Yun.
The director saw that he was strong and his facial features were a little rough, and felt that he was more suitable for interpreting Lv Bu, so he directly asked him to change into Lv Bu's costume audition.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Guangbei put on Lü Bu's costume, he immediately had Lü Bu's majesty, and the director decided to let him play Lü Bu, although Zhang Guangbei was unwilling, but he could only obey the director's arrangement.
Later, an actor named Yang Fan successfully played the important role of Zhao Yun through layers of selection, and at the beginning of filming, Yang Fan's performance also satisfied the director, but when Zhao Yun's circus part was filmed, problems suddenly appeared.
Yang Fan said that he couldn't ride a horse, and asked the crew to think of a way, and the director who learned of this situation was furious: "You can't ride a horse, what Zhao Yun you play!" Wuhushang will not ride a horse, and saying it does not make people laugh out of their big teeth! Why didn't you say it during the audition, didn't you waste my feelings! ”
Said, directly kicked him out of the crew, even if it was remade, the director was not willing to perfunctory.
At this time, Zhang Guangbei took the initiative to find the director and recommend a candidate who could replace Zhao Yun's role, this person is his old classmate Zhang Shan.
Zhang Guangbei said that Zhang Shan has been riding since he was a child, is the perfect candidate for the role of Zhao Yun, the director did not believe it at first, but still asked Zhang Shan to audition, Zhang Shan showed amazing riding skills as soon as he got on the horse, he was tall and proficient in horsemanship, fully in line with the character of Zhao Yun, and the director immediately decided to let him replace Yang Fan as Zhao Yun.
In the follow-up shooting, Zhang Shan's performance was more professional and in place, he not only excelled in equestrianism, but also matured his acting skills day by day, successfully creating an awe-inspiring image of Zhao Yun, which also achieved his success in the entertainment industry.
After the broadcast of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Shan's version of Zhao Yun was loved by the audience and made him famous in the industry, this drama was still popular in Southeast Asia, and Zhao Yun played by Zhang Shan became a local idol for a while.
Once, Zhang Shan came to Thailand to participate in an event, and a fan crowd rushed forward to surround him, shouting "Savadika", and the scene was out of control, which means that Zhang Shan has a large number of loyal fans not only in China, but also in Thailand.
It can be said that if it were not for the strict requirements of the director and Zhang Shan's professional dedication, this version of the classic Zhao Yun image would not have appeared, and it turns out that dedication to a character can interpret a classic.
Both directors and actors should uphold a sense of responsibility and awe for their works, and constantly pursue higher quality and standards in order to create shocking works.
