"Bright Sword" Li Youbin: gave all his love to his second wife and stepson, and his own son was his enemy
Author: Reilly (rich book author)
"If I don't take revenge, I, Li Yunlong, swear not to be a man!"
"As long as I, Li Yunlong, am here, I won't leave a brother behind!"
In 2005, as soon as the anti-Japanese war drama "Bright Sword" was broadcast, it became popular all over the country, and Li Youbin also became popular with the role of Li Yunlong in the play.
The popularity and popularity of the bright sword has an extraordinary status in domestic anti-Japanese war dramas, and to this day, there are still many edited videos where Li Yunlong's sentence said: "Second battalion commander!" What about your mother's Italian cannon, pull it up for Lao Tzu! ”
In the play, Li Yunlong's wife died in the war, and the scene of Li Yunlong crying was tear-jerking. Outside the play, Li Youbin experiences a completely different love life:
48-year-old Li Youbin divorced his wife of 24 years, married another woman two years later, and after marriage, he loved and cared for his stepson, but neglected to care for his biological son. Now his own son is an enemy of him, and he is not married at the age of 38, which makes Li Youbin even more worried.
At that time, rumors circulated: Li Youbin was unfaithful to his first wife and cheated in marriage, and the object of his second marriage was the "lover" who cheated at that time.
Due to rumors, Li Youbin's career was blocked, and the audience was very dissatisfied with this, how could the former people's artist do such a thing?
Is the truth of the matter really as rumors say?
Li Youbin was born in Changchun, Jilin in 1958, his parents worked in the local watch factory, his mother was a worker, and his father was a senior technician.
Since childhood, his parents have been busy with work, and Li Youbin often likes to play with his sister Li Yeping. Later, my mother gave birth to a younger brother and a sister.
For some unknown reason, parents always quarrel. One day, after my mother went out with her young brother and sister, she never returned. Li Youbin asked his father, but his father did not speak. Asked my sister, my sister wiped her tears and shook her head and said I didn't know.
After his mother left, Li Youbin's childhood was only accompanied by his father and sister.
In 1963, Changchun Film Studio planned to make a movie "The General's Son", and Li Youbin, who was only 5 years old, was chosen as the role of "son" in the film because of his cleverness and intelligence. He was overjoyed and followed the performance guidance of the crew to successfully complete the interpretation task. It is a pity that in the turbulent historical background, this film was not released, and the little Li Youbin lost the opportunity to be a "child star".
His loss was seen by his sister, and later Li Yeping played acting games with his younger brother from time to time. Thanks to this, when Li Youbin was studying at Changchun No. 11 Middle School, he also joined the school's drama troupe to perform plays because of his outstanding acting skills.
In 1974, the drama "Maofeng Huazheng" starring Li Youbin was selected by the Changchun Municipal Bureau of Culture and Education to perform at the local Grand Theater. The 16-year-old is not at all a problem with the vigorous spirit of performing students, and Li Youbin is famous in the local area.
This success made him so confident that he decided to join the Changchun Repertory Theatre. At that time, the threshold of the repertory troupe was extremely high, and one had to be proficient in acting, forming, singing and recitation to pass the repertory troupe's interview.
Li Youbin is not good at just "acting", so for four consecutive years, Li Youbin's name has been on the list. During this period, Li Youbin was also admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, and did not pass the interview of the drama troupe until the year he graduated from university and became a drama actor.
Newcomers who have just joined the troupe cannot perform on stage, and are mainly responsible for miscellaneous work such as moving props and sets. Li Youbin was not idle after he was busy, observing what lines, actions, and expressions in the drama were in the background, and the audience responded strongly, and he silently remembered.
In recent years, he has gradually obtained some important role performance opportunities, the most famous is playing the last emperor Puyi in "The End of New Beijing". In real life, he talks little and is steady, but when playing Puyi, he shows a sense of contrast, and at the end of the era, Li Youbin plays the timidity, anger and bitterness of the last emperor.
Because of the successful interpretation of this drama, Li Youbin met his first wife, Zhang Ruiqi of the drama troupe.
In 1984, 26-year-old Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi got married, and Zhang Ruiqi gave birth to a child Li Xiaoke the following year.
At that time, approaching 30 years old should be the age of stable work and taking care of the family, and Li Youbin keenly discovered the decline of the drama troupe and the rise of film, and he tried to grasp the last straw and transform into a film and television actor.
Little did he know at the time that this action would lead to several classic films and bring huge changes to his life.
In 1985, Zhang Ruiqi quit her job to take care of her children, and Li Youbin's income became the main support for the family.
Li Youbin immediately joined Changchun Film Studio, hoping to work and film as soon as possible to earn money to subsidize his family.
The movie "Death Certificate" is the first movie he starred in, and his handsome appearance in the play was jokingly said: Li Youbin is really a handsome descendant!
He also starred in the TV series "She Was My Wife" and "The Tide and Fall", which received mediocre responses.
Later, he received an invitation to the movie "Born in the Sky". The film tells the story behind the first atomic bomb explosion on the mainland.
Lu Guangda, a scientist played by Li Youbin, came to the Northwest Desert with outstanding talents to develop the atomic bomb, when Soviet experts withdrew, three years of natural disasters, poor materials, and almost all the conceivable difficulties were encountered.
Li Youbin vividly shows the suffering, struggle and persistence of scientists under difficulties. At the moment when the atomic bomb was successfully exploded at the last moment, people could not help but cry. Li Youbin also won the Best Actor Award at the 5th Changchun Film Festival.
In 2004, Li Youbin played the chief conductor of flood control in the movie "Stormy Waves", and was nominated for the 9th Huabiao Hundred Flowers Best Actor Award.
This year, Li Youbin is 46 years old, and people often say that Li Youbin is a late bloomer and has caught up with the best era of film and television development.
With the nomination, Li Youbin gradually entered the vision of directors in the circle, and then the director of "Bright Sword" found Li Youbin and wanted him to play the role of Li Yunlong.
At first, Li Youbin did not agree to play this role, because although Li Yunlong in the play is a hero on the battlefield, the characters are shaped into storms, tempers, and swear words...
Later, under the persuasion of his wife, Li Youbin took over the role of Li Yunlong.
The popularity of "Bright Sword" all over the country was something that no one expected. In that year, Chongqing Satellite TV alone replayed 48 times, and the number of replays on all platforms has exceeded 200. Years later, the audience also jokingly said: "I thought that "Bright Sword" was the pioneering work of the anti-Japanese war drama, but now I look at it again to know that it is the peak." ”
There is no beauty filter in the play, Li Youbin and the actors are smeared with real soot and cannon fodder, and many viewers noticed that Li Yunlong's collar was always shiny and black, and often when he stood up from the ground, the surrounding dust flew up.
When filming this drama, Li Youbin once said that minus 20 degrees, it takes 12 hours a day to shoot, and Li Youbin can't count the number of colds and fevers that freeze, but none of the actors in the whole drama flinched, and they had to finish filming the day's progress with illness.
So far, Bright Sword's Douban score is as high as 9.4 points, and later two remade versions, one with 4.7 points and one with 2.2 points, the audience complained that the imitation traces were too heavy and the plot was false: "They are not playing Li Yunlong at all, but Li Youbin, they will only imitate Teacher Li Youbin, and they don't understand the role at all, so they are far from surpassing the classics!" ”
Thanks to his thinking about the role and accurate performance, Li Youbin won the 23rd China TV Golden Eagle Award for the audience's favorite actor and the 6th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival Best Performing Arts Actor Award for the role of Li Yunlong, which is well deserved.
The year after the broadcast of Bright Sword, another phenomenal film and television drama "Crossing the Guandong" set off a boom.
In "Crossing the Guandong", Li Youbin plays Zhu Kaishan, the head of the family, this time different from Li Yunlong's recklessness, Zhu Kaishan is calm and down-to-earth with a family to break out of the sky.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the plot, the director deliberately chose the coldest place in the northeast to shoot the background of the mountains and snow, in the words of the actors in the play: "39 degrees below zero outdoors and minus 39 degrees indoors." ”
The actor felt cold no matter how thick he wore, and later Li Youbin said that he would never dare to take on the Northeast drama from then on, and "Crossing the Guandong" was colder than "Bright Sword"!
When the news of the death of his third son in the play came, Zhu Kaishan's emotions that he had endured all his life were interpreted by Li Youbin very well: the majesty of the head of the family, Zhu Kaishan, cannot be lost, but the death of his most beloved son is really heartache.
Li Youbin first red eyes, lips trembled uncontrollably, eyes full of disbelief, until he heard his wife's crying did he shake his senses, his throat moved up and down, tears finally broke the embankment, shouting: "Son! Oh my son!! ”
Under this performance, no one will be unmoved.
The second blockbuster role, Li Youbin, won the 24th China TV Golden Eagle Award for Audience Favorite Actor and the 7th China Golden Eagle TV Arts Festival Best Performing Arts Actor Award for Zhu Kaishan.
Since then, Li Youbin has made many films and won a number of Best Actor Awards, just when everyone was expecting him to continue to bring masterpieces, suddenly a scandal broke out: "The famous actor Li Youbin cheated in marriage, and now he is divorced and left the house, and quickly married a 13-year-old junior!" ”
At this time, Li Youbin was nearly 50 years old, and many netizens cursed him, calling him a "scumbag", "old cow eating tender grass", "abandoning his wife and abandoning his son", "being restless when he is old" and so on.
Li Youbin's career has been affected, and his reputation has plummeted, but is the truth really as the news says?
When Li Youbin first joined Changchun Film Studio, he was often unable to take care of his family because of his busy work, and the burden of taking care of his children and living fell on his wife Zhang Ruiqi.
Although she and her husband get together less and leave more, Zhang Ruiqi has no regrets about this, she has always loved her husband deeply and supported his acting career.
But most of the daily problems Zhang Ruiqi faces at home are childcare, housework, and living expenses, and it is difficult for her to find time to work, learn skills, and perfect her hobbies.
Li Youbin faces different people, different filming locations, and different customs in the crew every day... Li Youbin's life, environment, social interaction, etc. are all subtly changing.
The common topic between the two became less and less, and gradually Zhang Ruiqi no longer suggested what role Li Youbin took on, Li Youbin already had his own ideas. Li Youbin also stopped telling his wife interesting things in the crew, he felt his wife's loneliness and didn't want to say too much to increase his wife's sadness.
The distance between the hearts of the two people is getting farther and farther apart. In 2006, the two agreed to divorce, Li Youbin left the house, and his son Li Xiaoke lived with his mother.
Two years later, some media photographed Li Youbin and actor Shi Langya, who was 13 years younger, traveling together, suspected of being in love. As soon as netizens dug deeper, they found that as early as 2003, Li Youbin and Shi Langya had filmed together and met from the play.
Immediately rumors spread all over the place, Li Youbin and Shi Langya became the target of everyone, and even some extras on the set jokingly said: At that time, when filming, I felt that the atmosphere between the two people was very ambiguous, Shi Langya called Li Youbin's big brother, Li Youbin called Shi Langya's little sister, and the two often ate together to discuss the script.
Later, the fire burned to Zhang Ruiqi, and many people sympathized with her, but some people thought that Zhang Ruiqi had given Li Youbin the biggest punishment, that is, to take all his money and let him leave the house.
Zhang Ruiqi originally likes a peaceful and peaceful life, and was a little caught off guard by sudden revelations, and his son Li Xiaoke was often ridiculed "Your father doesn't want you, your father is looking for a mistress."
In order to calm public opinion, Zhang Ruiqi responded: "Li Youbin and I divorced because of emotional problems and have nothing to do with Shi Langya. ”
A sentence directly blocked the mouth of the rumor-monger, and Li Youbin and Shi Langya were innocent. The "derailment" incident seemed to subside, but no one noticed that this matter was deeply rooted in Li Xiaoke's heart. Since then, Li Xiaoke has rarely communicated with his father.
Zhang Ruiqi noticed that her son's attitude towards Li Youbin changed, and she communicated many times in the middle, and her son always said: "Mom, I'm fine." Li Youbin also replied that he would take more care of Li Xiaoke, and Zhang Ruiqi let go of his heart.
In the same year, Li Youbin and Shi Langya registered their marriage.
After marriage, Li Youbin occasionally took on some plays, but now is different, acting requires traffic and stars, and there are fewer and fewer good scripts, and later he starred in films such as "Old Yan Has a Woman Don't Worry About Marrying", "Bodyguard of Love", "Don't Let Me See", "Sun Lao's Stubborn Happiness", "Decisive Battle River Bridge", "Backbone" and other films, which did not stir up a huge splash in the industry.
In addition to filming work, Li Youbin accompanied Shi Langya and his stepson, poured a lot of time and love into their mother and son, accompanied the mother and son to shop, travel, and play around, and slowly became estranged from his biological son.
At this time, Li Xiaoke was full of thoughts, in his childhood, only his mother's busy back, and his father's shadow was fleeting. He knew his mother's sadness, but what he was waiting for was the news that his father had remarried. After remarrying, the father focused on his stepson and had much less contact with himself.
All this made Li Xiaoke feel cold, and the gap between him and his father became larger and larger. Until Li Youbin noticed the abnormality of his own son, it was too late.
When Li Xiaoke was 30 years old, Li Youbin urged his son to get married, Li Xiaoke didn't say a word, his eyes were full of disappointment in marriage.
Zhang Ruiqi also urged her son, and she reflected on whether it was caused by not doing a good job of marriage education for her children in recent years. Li Xiaoke only said: "There are suitable people who will get along." Zhang Ruiqi often introduced blind dates to her son, but in the end, they were all gone.
In the past few years, Li Youbin urged him no less than 200 times, and he told Li Xiaoke: "I covered all the money for the car and house when I got married!" Li Xiaoke remained indifferent.
Until this year, 38-year-old Li Xiaoke was still single.
The fact that his son has no partner has become a piece of Li Youbin's heart, how 65-year-old he hopes that his son has someone around him who can accompany him and take care of him when he is old, he can't imagine how lonely his son should be when he is gone.
Perhaps, hoping that his son would be accompanied is a kind of guilt and a kind of compensation for Li Youbin's neglect of his son's companionship and education.
But at the moment when the child needs the father the most, the pain is not healed, how long this pimple will exist, we never know ...
In recent years, many audiences have mentioned Li Youbin, saying that he doesn't act much, considering his age, everyone also expressed understanding, in fact, Li Youbin often appears as a supporting role in many film and television dramas:
In 2020, he participated in the CCTV National Day Gala and told "From the Yangtze River to the Yellow Crane Tower";
In 2021, he starred in the TV series "Invisible Blade", "Ace Force", "Life and Death Sniper" and "The Foundry", and in the same year, he also won the first Australian Laiwu International TV Festival Jinxuan Award National Outstanding TV Series Actor Award;
In 2022, the TV series "Green Mountains Not Ink" will be broadcast on CCTV; In April this year, Li Youbin also played the role of chief of staff in the popular movie "Deep Sea Crisis".
Li Youbin also insisted on acting in dramas with his wife Shi Langya for many years, and on August 30 this year, the drama "Old Fashioned Comedy" performed by the two in Beijing Renyi was widely praised:
"The two cooperate tacitly, every look, movement, pause is so comfortable, and it can even be said that it is accurate, comparable to a textbook-level performance."
"More than two hours, only two characters, the huge amount of lines from beginning to end is like a storm, it's not that the old drama bones really can't be acted."
Although he is older, he still acts every year, and for him, acting seems like a lifelong career.
In August this year, the Shanghai Film Academy also specially hired Li Youbin as a professor to give acting courses to students in the school. In addition, he also has the titles of national first-class actor, national model worker, civilian soldier, and vice chairman of the sixth session of the China Television Association.
Li Youbin once said a few words in an interview:
"As an actor, I am acting, and I don't participate in variety shows. But some young people who also have a difficult life may participate. ”
"I think actors should not take themselves too seriously, the real many aerospace heroes, Meng Wanzhou who returned from the United States, should pay more attention to those who have great feats, what kind of heroes are actors, and those who have contributed to the country are the stars worth chasing."
As soon as Li Youbin remarked, the barrage and comment area were filled with the words "pattern" and "applause".
The atmosphere of the film and television industry is changing rapidly, and Li Youbin, who was once affected by rumors, did not seize the traffic outlet.
Name, he has had, troughs, and experienced. Time passed, and Li Youbin let the past days pass with the wind.
He is still doing what he has loved all his life: acting and having his wife on stage in drama:
The light fell leisurely, illuminating the dancing Li Youbin and Shi Lanya, the wrinkles on his face gradually stretched, and the corners of his mouth gently raised, this moment may be his happiest moment.
In the days to come, we all have the strength to welcome it calmly.
