"Although I have a pot on my back, I don't have a pot in my heart. ”
In 1996, Li Baotian played "Liu Luoguo" in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which was loved by many audiences.
Among them, Li Baotian, Wang Gang, and Zhang Guoli also formed an iron triangle.
But later, Li Baotian publicly said: "If you don't cooperate with Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli in the future, it will be impossible to cooperate in this life!"
When Li Baotian was 60 years old, he was still called a "drama bully", and was even banned.
He didn't accept advertisements in his life, didn't participate in variety shows, took acting seriously, created countless classic roles, and won awards softly, why did he fall into such a situation?
What is the truth?
1. Blocked?
"Li Baotian is a drama bully, playing a big name and exposing more than 60 people to the sun for a day, he is also worthy of being an artist?"
In 2005, Li Baotian was boycotted and banned by more than a dozen film and television companies, and even exposed Li Baotian's "bad behavior" during filming.
What's going on here?
It turned out that when Li Baotian was filming "The Minister", he filmed 30 episodes of the plot, but when Li Baotian's TV series was released, he found that there were 33 episodes of the plot.
Li Baotian was very puzzled, and it seemed that he found out later that the producer had "injected water" into the 3 episodes of a good drama.
In a fit of rage, Li Baotian sued the investor in court, and he believed that the "water injection drama" was not only sorry for the actors' efforts, but also irresponsible to the audience.
And on the signed contract, it is stated that the plot cannot be "injected with water".
In court, because Li Baotian had sufficient evidence, he won the lawsuit, and the investor paid Li Baotian 1.9 million in compensation.
Later, the investor still wanted to have a place to turn around in this lawsuit, so he appealed to Li Baotian, but unfortunately it still failed, and in the end, both parties paid 300,000 yuan each.
After that, the investor hated Li Youtian for breaking the rules, and joined other film and television companies in the industry to boycott Li Baotian.
The boycott book said: Li Baotian played a big name, gave his relatives and friends a back door, and did not cooperate with the propaganda......
So what is the truth of the matter?
In fact, the so-called "drama bully" is simply taken out of context, Li Baotian needs a lot of group performances when filming a plot, and he has that feeling of joining in the fun.
But the drama party only found more than 20 people, and Li Baotian asked the drama party to add a little more people to play together, and the result became that Li Baotian asked more than 60 people to stand and wait for him.
Regarding Li Baotian's "back door" to his relatives, he was also defeated by his "confused son".
In 1999, Li Baotian's son Li Yu signed a contract with an investor for a TV series, but the condition was that Li Baotian had to come to make a cameo appearance in 20 episodes.
When Li Yu heard this, he felt that he was Li Baotian's son after all, so what was there to make a cameo.
When Li Baotian finished reading the script, he said to his son with a bad face that he couldn't act.
But the contracts were signed, and Li Yu couldn't afford to pay the sky-high liquidated damages.
Helplessly, Li Baotian had to be pulled down by his son, and after the drama was released, there was a lot of scolding, and the most scolded was that Li Baotian privately arranged for his son to act together and "go through the back door".
Few people understand what the real facts are, and Li Baotian has given up on explaining.
The reason why Li Baotian is misunderstood by many audiences is because of his seriousness and persistence in acting.
also offended Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang because of his outspokenness.
What's the story behind this?
2. The "unkindness" of the old drama bones
In 1996, after "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" became popular, the investor saw the flow of traffic and was preparing to shoot the second part.
Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang both agreed, saying that they would continue to participate in the show, but Li Baotian refused the invitation.
Li Baotian looked at the script of the second part, thinking that it was completely perfunctory to the audience, and there was no need to make the second part at all.
Later, the investor approached Li Baotian again and expressed his willingness to increase his salary, but he was resolutely rejected by Li Baotian.
Later, Li Baotian also said an intriguing sentence: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, some people can't cooperate anymore." ”
Why would Li Baotian say such a thing?
It turned out that when the three of them were filming together, Wang Gang often communicated with his assistant because he liked to collect antiques, and sometimes he was distracted even when filming.
Zhang Guoli, on the other hand, often asks for leave for something, does not take his work seriously, and delays the filming progress.
Later, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang collaborated to make a sequel, which made Li Baotian think that they were making money for the sake of popularity and were irresponsible to the audience.
After Li Baotian withdrew, with the addition of Zhang Tielin, this group became popular again, and they also became the inherent impression of the characters in the audience's mouth, and they became famous.
Li Baotian has his own attitude towards this: "Always playing a role will bore the audience, it is difficult to achieve a role, but it is easy to destroy a good role."
Li Baotian's seriousness towards filming can be said to be well known to everyone in the circle, so he likes to work with actors with rules, but this also makes many rival actors feel that he is too stubborn and unreasonable.
During the filming of "The Minister", the beggar clothes of the Qing Dynasty that appeared in the play were printed and distributed by Li Baotian according to the beggar clothes in the history museum and taken to the tailor shop.
At the time of filming, it was a high temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius in summer, and the air conditioner could not be turned on during the filming because of the problem of radio.
The clothes Li Baotian wore during filming had to be washed every time he sweated, and in the end they were even torn.
This drama is the first time that Li Baotian and his own Li Yu have starred in a film and television drama between father and son, but it is not that Li Baotian directly inserts his son into the crew, but lets his son try out and fight for it by himself.
And Li Baotian was ruthless in order to train his son, and when filming, he didn't bring an assistant, and even his son was not allowed to take his own ride.
And Li Yu has long been Xi to his father's attitude, when he applied for the Chinese opera exam, he failed twice, his father and mother and the teachers of the Chinese opera are very familiar, but they are not allowed to let a little water.
Even when Li Yu got married, Li Baotian was filming in the crew, and directly pushed his son's wedding, saying that he couldn't let the crew wait for him alone and delay the filming progress.
In addition to experiencing that total accusation, Li Baotian temporarily faded out of the audience's field of vision.
An endorsement came to the door and offered a sky-high endorsement fee, but Li Baotian refused without blinking.
"I have created so many positive images on the screen, how can I do opportunistic things in private? I can't deceive the audience."
He thinks that endorsing these products violates his conscience, as long as he does his duty as an actor, he doesn't care about anything else.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Li Baotian is like a weirdo in the entertainment industry, but he has become a real actor.
Today's Li Baotian has also played many classic roles and won numerous awards.
In 2020, Li Baotian also received the Lifetime Achievement Television Artist Award.
Li Baotian also explained the reason why he rarely acts now: "Over the years, I have served everyone less, not less opportunities, not many opportunities."
Li Baotian has dedicated his life to the role, which is very admirable!
