In 2004, director Chen Jian found Tang Guoqiang, hoping that he could star in the TV series "Bright Sword" directed by himself, and gave the other party the role of "Li Yunlong".
Tang Guoqiang saw the "500,000" salary and refused on the spot.
At that time, Tang Guoqiang was already a national first-class actor, and he also became an actor at home and abroad with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Long March" and "Garland Under the Mountain".
30 episodes of TV series, only give me 500,000? Isn't that "humiliating" him!
Chen Jian added another price code, gritted his teeth and said, "Is 1 million okay?"
Tang Guoqiang still refused, then my coffee position, how can it be no less than two million!
Chen Jian can't take out this million, because the preparatory funds for "Bright Sword" are only about 9 million, what kind of concept is this?
This year's "Volunteer Army Attack", I don't know if you have seen it.
This drama is directed by the great director Chen Kaige, and the anti-Japanese war film starring Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin, Wang Yanhui, Xin Baiqing and others, the production cost of the whole drama is not less than "200 million",
As the male number one, Tang Guoqiang, how much salary he can get must be self-evident!
Therefore, Tang Guoqiang back then also refused to star in "Li Yunlong" because the salary was too low and the director was a "little transparent".
Afterwards, Tang Guoqiang also made many "complaints": "You tell me that my image is polite and polite, why does this director want to ask me to play Li Yunlong, full of swear words, can my image be good when it is broadcast!"
Then Chen Jian found Li Youbin for the "top bag", the 46-year-old Li Youbin looked at the difficult filming conditions, and was unwilling to act.
Helplessly, his wife Shi Lanya recognized this script very much, saying that "Bright Sword" will definitely be a very good TV series, Lao Li went to star in it, and he gave the whole "king bomb" at once!
In 2005, when "Bright Sword" was broadcast on CCTV, it directly "killed" the anti-Japanese war dramas of other channels, "This is a real anti-Japanese war drama! This is real heroism!"
"The comrades-in-arms between Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, the brotherhood between Monk Wei and Hetianyu, and the love of Hetian Yu each have their own rhythm and trajectory, which expresses Li Yunlong's 'freshness' more completely!"
As a TV series that has been on the air for almost ten years, "Bright Sword" not only maintains a high reputation of 9.5 points on Douban,
It has also been replayed 3,000 times in just five years, and has become an "electronic mustard" for many people.
So where is the success of "Bright Sword"?
First of all, it must be the "passionate performance" of several leading actors, Li Yunlong played by Li Youbin, brave and fearless, affectionate and righteous, although he occasionally "makes mistakes", but in the tactical command, he is still "flawed".
The sentence "Italian cannon" and the sentence "eat the meat of the devil and chew its bones" express his military nature very well.
Chu Yunfei, played by Zhang Guangbei, understands military affairs, is educated, has outstanding ability, and Li Yunlong is "both friend and foe", and is a very open-minded strategist.
He Zhengjun's "Political Commissar Zhao" is an idealist and the intellectual responsibility of the whole army, so he and the slightly rough Li Yunlong "did not deal with each other everywhere" in the early stage.
The last two people evolved from comradeship to family affection that is "not family, but better than family", which can be said to be a trace of "sweetness" in the cruel struggle.
In addition, people such as Tian Yu, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Wei Dayong and others are all very brilliant and evocative.
During the filming process, director Chen Jian also said more than once those unknown "hardships".
The crew wanted to restore the real story scene, so they began to run around the country to shoot scenes, from Beijing to Pingyao, Shanxi, and then to Kanto Film and Television City in Shenyang.
He Zhengjun once said, "At that time, when we were filming, we didn't find a base to sit on, there was food and drink, and the air conditioner was blowing, and after filming, we finished filming and editing.
We went to abandoned villages, the kind of dilapidated houses that have fallen into slag, because you are filming an anti-Japanese war drama in a difficult environment!"
Everywhere they went, the actors had to quickly find some dead branches to light the fire, and finish roasting their bodies around a pile.
Because the filming time of "Bright Sword" is winter, or the weather in Shanxi is minus 20 degrees, and the whole body is frozen without a fire, how can you start filming?
"Sometimes the kind of place we go to, the car can't drive through, so each of us carries all kinds of equipment on foot.
When it was time to film, the actors who didn't perform had to continue burning firewood next to them.
Why, people can't freeze, and photographic equipment can't help but freeze! You have to keep burning back and forth, and everyone is lining up to burn it!"
There is a play where Chu Yunfei invited Li Yunlong to dinner, I don't know if everyone still has an impression, in this scene, Li Youbin is "suffering from old sins"!
First of all, in the weather of more than minus 20 degrees, a table of meals that looked like delicious dishes had long been frozen "hard", and the actors couldn't eat it at all.
Secondly, Li Youbin also had a high fever for two days, and was supposed to be sent to the county hospital by the director for treatment, but he still politely refused.
"It's not easy to film every day, the big guys have to starve and freeze there, I'm the male number one, I don't have to wait here when I'm gone, I can't do that kind of thing!"
Then Li Youbin took the crew's three old cotton clothes, put them all over, and began to tremble and act.
That blue face and white lips are the truest portrayal, and there is no makeup at all!
patting Li Youbin felt stiff, unable to make some "heroic" movements, he directly took the second pot head and drank a big cup, this courage really belongs to "Li Yunlong's possession"!
It is precisely because of the hardships and hard work of the whole crew and the "true colors" of the actors that this most typical anti-Japanese war film has been created.
So in recent years, many directors want to remake "Bright Sword", and even want to crush the original version, but their faces are not exposed much, and their butts are completely exposed!
In 2011, there was a TV series called "New Bright Sword", which was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and the ratings reached the first place on the first day.
The reason for the high ratings is not because of how good he is, but because people are known as "paying tribute to the classics and reaching new heights".
Everyone wants to see the new version of "Bright Sword", can you get a "passing grade"? Don't just rub the heat and have no quality!
starring Huang Zhizhong, that is, the actor who is about to play "Li Yunlong", said it more beautifully,
"Actually, I have been thinking about it for a whole year, whether to play this role, because Mr. Li Youbin's acting skills are too expressive and charming, and I think it is difficult to surpass!"
But as soon as the conversation turned, Huang Zhizhong said, he felt that the interpretation of the role of "Li Yunlong" could be more layered, such as the tenacity of the wolf, the agility of the deer, the cunning of the fox, etc.
In short, although Li Youbin's performance is good, it is not perfect, and the reason why he came to play "Bright Sword" is that he is confident that he will "interpret this role well"!
And he will lead the new "bright sword team" to the peak and become a "memory" in the hearts of the new generation.
In fact, Huang Zhizhong's acting skills are good. The most famous is the "big master" Hai Rui in "The Ming Dynasty", and Yang Liren, who has a "complicated position" in "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life".
Before playing Li Yunlong, Huang Zhizhong had already won four major awards at home and abroad, and he was indeed not a "water drama actor", and it was a good thing to have confidence.
But as far as Li Youbin's image was "clubbed" in front, Huang Zhizhong acted for a long time, not to mention that he did not deduce a new version of "Li Yunlong", and even Li Youbin's demeanor could not imitate a "one, two, three".
Huang Zhizhong's thin and tall appearance, there is no trace of "years at all" on his face, just like a little soldier from nowhere, not as good as the "rough man leader" played by Li Youbin,
Secondly, the actor who played with Huang Zhizhong also looked stranger than the other, Political Commissar Zhao actually asked Ren Quan to play? This is also outrageous!
You must know Ren Quan's masterpiece, that is, Gongsun Ce in "Young Bao Qingtian", although Gongsun Ce is intelligent, but in the final analysis, he is also a "handsome scholar",
Ren Quan's body shape and appearance are closer to the role of "Gongsun Ce",
The role is fixed, which is why he can no longer play other roles in the future.
Now it's okay, let a "white-faced scholar" actor play a soldier during the war, maybe what the director wants to express is "this is in line with the identity of Zhao Political Commissar as a college student",
But what I see is that this "new version of Zhao Gang" doesn't look like he has been tempered on the battlefield, but like a college student who doesn't know the world!
The other actors have Guo Jinglin as Chu Yunfei and Gan Tingting as Tian Yu, and there is nothing to say.
All in all, this drama gives people the feeling that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and a bunch of modern people are forced to "press" a stage play on the anti-Japanese war field for decades, which is almost what it means!
Ironically, the director of "New Bright Sword" also made a lot of effort to invite Du Liang, the original author of the novel, to go to the crew to be a screenwriter, and it turned out like this, I really don't know where Du Liang's old face has to go!
In addition, there is also a "Bright Sword: Thunder Warrior", which was also launched a few years ago, and it was directly "sprayed off the shelves" before half of the broadcast.
There are many people who think that the moment they see this name, they think that it is a "skin" garbage TV series, but in fact, this "Thunder Warrior" is really authorized by Duliang's "Bright Sword",
is the serious "Bright Sword 3", and the actors are also famous and surnamed, such as Zhang Yunlong and Gao Weiguang.
Especially Gao Weiguang also won the Huading Award with "Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book", he is not an eighteenth-tier actor, right?
One of these two actors plays the head of the independent regiment, that is, the benchmark Li Yunlong, and the other is the commander of the Sichuan Army.
Meticulous hair, all staff wearing hairspray, and opening their mouths to the camera to "shout", is this the image of a soldier?
The starring hairspray is even so hard that even when doing fight scenes, the hair is not moving at all, which is really funny!
A few female hygienists are too, wearing shiny little white leather shoes and spotless little skirts to flirt with the male protagonist, and they don't see what they are doing at all!
In addition, this group of people still live in a large independent villa, the kind in the front and back yards, and the soldiers say "I can't do it" while staying in the villa with peace of mind.
In this villa, several soldiers ate steaks with knives and forks, and the division commander said "too much sugar" while drinking coffee,
At this time, the enemy forces outside are all pressing, and this is how you "stabilize the morale of the army"? It is simply a big joke in the world!
Then he also put down his coffee and smoked a cigar, and the appearance of "everything is under control" really made many viewers call "physiological discomfort"!
In the audience's strong boycott, this drama was taken off the shelves, and Chen Daoming's words became a "classic",
"I never shoot this kind of drama, this is not a TV drama problem at all, it involves some children's correct view of history, such as the post-80s, post-90s, post-00s,
What kind of person wearing a fur coat and looking similar to Pan An, you can also act in an anti-Japanese war drama!"
When it comes to the appearance to match the plot, I suddenly thought of a well-known actor Song Xiaobao, you shouldn't know that Song Xiaobao also participated in "Bright Sword", right?
"At that time, I was about twenty years old, and I went to a lot of crews to play tricks or something, just thinking about exercising and earning some pocket money!"
At that time, Song Xiaobao was not his current name, but "Song Baoli".
Because of his poor family, Song Xiaobao, who didn't even finish junior high school, went to Shenyang to start working, so he met a two-person actor Jiao Xiaolong,
Jiao Xiaolong saw that Song Xiaobao could be funny, so he took him and started singing the two.
is in the process of singing the two-person turn, Song Xiaobao goes to the film and television city from time to time to rub a "group supporting role", after all, he also has a bit of a foundation.
Just as the crew of "Bright Sword" went to Shenyang for filming, Song Xiaobao followed.
The young actor who specially selected supporting roles, looking at Song Xiaobao's dark appearance and short stature, it is perfect to shoot our anti-Japanese war drama!
It's just that because Song Xiaobao is an "idle person" and has no good acquaintances, the director assigned him a role.
It is rumored to be used as a background wall for the leading actor in a play, as well as other scattered "lying corpse" scenes.
According to the director, Song Xiaobao was able to appear on camera, so after the release of "Bright Sword", Song Xiaobao hurriedly went to watch the whole episode, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't find his shadow.
It turned out that the scene where he was the "background wall" was "cut" by the editors, and as for those "lying corpse pictures", among a bunch of people, Song Xiaobao couldn't even recognize his back, this scene was filmed in vain!
Song Xiaobao also said regretfully, "When I was filming, I kept waiting to see Mr. Li Youbin, I didn't shoot from beginning to end, and I was not in the same frame with him once, it's really a pity!"
It is precisely because of the "deflated" crew in "Bright Sword".
Song Xiaobao didn't see the big actor Li Youbin, and secondly, he didn't see his role broadcast, so his "self-esteem" was frustrated, so he went back and sang the two again, and then was discovered by Zhao Benshan and entered the comedy world.
So this is a "blessing in disguise"!
In fact, there are several supporting roles, after starring in "Bright Sword", they embarked on an unusual path, such as Sun Desheng who held a big knife and shouted "Cavalry Company, attack".
Sun Desheng's character is more complicated, his benefactor is Shi Yousan, who "defected to the enemy and treason", and his top boss is Li Yunlong, the head of the hot-blooded regiment.
However, Sun Desheng did not abandon the four words of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and he finally achieved the gratitude and repaid his kindness, sacrificing his life for the great cause of the motherland.
The actor Jiang Shui is a very interesting person, it is rumored that after "Bright Sword", he became a "fitness expert", and even gradually reduced the drama appointment, and put all his energy on fitness.
to the last tendon meat of Jiang Shui, and went to participate in bodybuilding competitions or something, until recent years because of economic problems to make a comeback,
It's just that time waits for no one, and now he will never meet a character like Sun Desheng again!
"Niangniang Sun Li" played Feng Nan, the wife of Political Commissar Zhao in "Bright Sword", I don't know if you still have any impressions?
In fact, Sun Li at that time was already a well-known actress in the industry, from "Jade Guanyin", "One Meter of Sunshine" to "Blood Romance" and other dramas, Sun Li had already become a female leader.
It's just that because the drama "Bright Sword" is still based on revolutionary blood, there are not many portrayals of women, so Sun Li's performance in "Bright Sword" can only be said to be average.
This does not prevent today's Sun Li from winning the title of "post-80s powerful actress"!
There is also an excellent supporting actor Wang Yousheng, who has been made into various emojis in recent years, everyone should be familiar with it, although this small supporting role does not have many scenes, but the performance is very tense,
Especially in that scene of "crying and laughing", on the one hand, he was proud because of the seized materials, and the next second he was grinning because of the loss of materials, he was actually a very vivid little person.
It was because after everyone rewatched "Bright Sword", everyone felt that this actor's acting skills were good, so he was pushed to the fire!
But after everyone looked for the news of the actor, they found that this situation was embarrassing!
It is rumored on the Internet that its actor Cao Qifeng has not given up his dream of being an actor since "Bright Sword", and after more than ten years of playing tricks, he died due to financial embarrassment and lack of money for medical treatment.
This revelation was confirmed by netizens, "He is from my grandmother's village, he did die in 18 years, and his family lives in Xiaoluoshan Village!"
In fact, if Cao Qifeng can live until now, or live until the moment when everyone discovers him, I think his wish will be fulfilled.
Especially now that short videos are becoming popular, even if Cao Qifeng is seriously ill, if he catches traffic on short videos, the income obtained will definitely extend his life to a certain extent, and it can only be said that time is also fate!
