In 2003, the Republic of China romantic drama "The Family of Gold Powder" became popular all over the country as soon as it was released, creating a ratings myth, and the leading actors in the play, Dong Jie, Liu Yifei, Chen Kun and others also became well-known actors.
And the director of this drama is the 33-year-old director Li Dawei.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and in 2018, Li Dawei unfortunately passed away due to cancer at the age of 47.
But what is surprising is that when he was dying, he was thinking about his first girlfriend Jiang Qinqin, who was pregnant......
1. Genius director
When he was in middle school, Li Dawei's parents wanted him to grow up to be a lawyer or a doctor, but Li Dawei was reluctant and insisted on studying art.
When he was a freshman in high school, he gathered a group of classmates at school and set up a drama club with great interest.
"It's just a small fight, and when I graduate from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, I will definitely become one of the best directors in China. He said haughtily.
However, it is a pity that in the year of Li Dawei's college entrance examination, the directing department of Beijing Film Academy did not recruit students, so he had no choice but to retreat and enter the photography department.
During his college years, Li Dawei studied photography and often audited the classes of the directing department, seizing every opportunity to move forward towards his dream.
In 1993, he graduated from Beijing Film and was assigned to Beijing Film Studio to work as a photographer in the crew.
In the crew, Li Dawei carefully observed the director's every move, and took the initiative to come to the other party to ask various professional questions in his spare time.
With his unremitting efforts, in 1997, he successfully served as the director of the film "Joyful and Happy".
After that, he also served as the executive producer of the film "Hero Zheng Chenggong", which won two awards in one fell swoop: Huabiao and Baihua.
Li Dawei's career is thriving, and what made him really famous was the TV series "The Family of Gold Powder".
In 2003, the Republic of China romantic drama "The Family of Gold Powder" directed by Li Dawei was broadcast on CCTV, which set off a ratings frenzy overnight.
According to statistics, the average rating of "The Family of Gold Powder" is as high as 7.68%, which is CCTV's ratings champion in the past two years.
For this reason, after the premiere of CCTV 8, CCTV 1 followed by the second round of broadcasts, and more than ten local satellite TV stations also joined it, and the popularity is still high.
With this drama, Dong Jie, Liu Yifei, Chen Kun and many other young actors became an instant hit, and Li Dawei also won the honor of "Top Ten Directors".
Since then, Li Dawei's directorial career has been booming, and one after another excellent works such as "The Family of Pink Fans", "Early Spring February", "Let's See" and other excellent works have come out one after another, and he has also stood on the stage of the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award as a director.
At that time, he was only about forty years old, and the future was limitless, however, an illness completely shattered all the goodness.
On April 10, 2018, Li Dawei passed away in Beijing due to cholangiocarcinoma, and many actors such as Chen Kun, Dong Jie, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang posted condolences.
However, the public's attention was mostly attracted by Jiang Qinqin......
2. Love story
"Thank you for remembering me when you were dying, thank you for giving me ......"
On April 13, 2018, Jiang Qinqin posted on social platforms to mourn Li Dawei's death, and the past of the two was once again pushed to the forefront.
Li Dawei is Jiang Qinqin's senior brother, both of them are students of Beiying, and their fate also began on campus.
Li Dawei is Jiang Qinqin's first love, and the two have been in love for 5 years, during which Li Dawei supervised the production of "Hero Zheng Chenggong", and Jiang Qinqin is the heroine.
However, this once extremely sweet love ended in tragedy, and the two later married the "four masters" Chen Jianbin and the other married the company's president Zhao Yiran.
When Li Dawei died, he already had a daughter.
And Jiang Qinqin happened to be pregnant.
In fact, the two did not get along after breaking up, Li Dawei still regarded each other as his best friend, and in 2006, he also invited the other party to star in his own work "Legend of Incense Powder".
No one knows if he really has a clear distinction between public and private, or if he has something else to hide.
But when he was about to die, under the protection of his family, he whispered the name "Jiang Qinqin".
However, Jiang Qinqin was unable to meet him for the last time due to physical reasons.
"You are the eternal fragrance in the hearts of all of us. Jiang Qinqin wrote in the article.
After that, Li Dawei's family held a farewell party for his body, Jiang Qinqin did not attend, but sent a wreath with her husband Chen Jianbin .
Now, the Si people have passed away, the former love and hate grievances have long disappeared, and the living people are living their own lives, so it's okay.
