In the 90s, who hasn't watched CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with huge investment?
After the broadcast, the ratings were as high as 46.7%, and quickly swept through Southeast Asian countries, and in Japan it was sold at a sky-high price of $15,000 per episode.
Now the 94 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has already become a classic in the minds of many people, and 30 years have passed, and the actors in the play have long been different.
Some people have been eating the old book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before their deaths, some people have passed away due to serious illness, and some people have promoted their daughters into the circle······
Tang Guoqiang Zhuge Liang
Looking at Tang Guoqiang, who is now in good shape, who would have thought that he was the earliest "little fresh meat".
In 1979, Tang Guoqiang became an instant hit with "Little Flower" and won the "Golden Eagle" Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop. But for a long time after that, the audience felt that he was "eating with his face".
Tang Guoqiang, who did not admit defeat, began to seek transformation, although he also tried the role of a soldier, but the transformation failed.
In this way, the time came to 1990, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began to be filmed, because of his handsome appearance, a friend said that he would try Zhou Yu's role.
Zhou Yu is a famous beautiful man, and Tang Guoqiang, who has been seeking transformation, was unwilling, but he decided to give it a try when he thought of such a big production as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But he was unexpectedly arranged by the director to become Zhuge Liang.
When the news spread, many people objected, and Tang Guoqiang felt very pressured, but with the support of the crew, he still insisted on acting.
At that time, the filming conditions were not good, living in a leaky house, Tang Guoqiang never complained, and it was in this environment that he memorized the lines of the whole play.
Tang Guoqiang himself didn't expect that he had no intention of inserting willows into the willows, and he had always wanted to transform without success, but this unexpected opportunity allowed him to reverse his image in the hearts of the audience and become a powerful actor.
I didn't expect that the sentence "I have never seen such a brazen person" 30 years ago can become a hot Internet meme today.
Tang Guoqiang, who has successfully transformed, has made a lot of film and television works with historical themes, in which he has played the image of a great man many times, and in 2020, Tang Guoqiang's new drama "Our Team to the Sun" will be broadcast, and Tang Guoqiang will once again play a great man in the play.
But it has already made netizens feel that there is no novelty, and the great man in the play is in his prime, and Tang Guoqiang is already old, and his acting skills seem to have regressed.
Many netizens feel that he is not as good as the actor Wang Renjun in "Ask the Boundless", and feel that it is time for a new actor to play it.
But now 71-year-old Tang Guoqiang is still active on the big screen, and in November 2023, he changed careers to become a director, filming the movie "Founding General Awarded the Title 1995".
Zhuge Liang played by him has become a classic in the minds of many people, and in February this year, he participated in the "Classic Night" annual ceremony and recited the classic lines of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the show.
Lu Shuming, Guan Yu
Lu Shuming can play Guan Yu, it is really God's arrangement.
There are many characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and director Wang Fulin felt a big head in order to find a suitable actor, and the crew decided to invite Lu Shuming to audition after some investigation.
Unfortunately, when the crew went to Lu Shuming's house, he had already gone to other crews to film.
Perhaps God helped him to return home the day before the crew left, and Lu Shuming, who arrived home, found a small note invited by the crew and decided to go to the audition immediately.
When he arrived at the scene, he learned that today was the last day, and if he didn't go home today, he would have missed it with the crew.
He once studied Peking Opera, and after he dressed up as Guan Yu, everyone present was dazzled.
His "Guan is late" made the director immediately decide to let him play Guan Yu, and in this way, Lu Shuming stood out from more than 30 actors who came to audition.
Lu Shuming is also very serious in the crew, Guan Yu has a lot of scenes on horseback, he goes into battle in person, he has been thrown off the horse many times, and the most serious one has been directly recuperated in bed for a month.
After the broadcast of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it became popular, and Lu Shuming also received a lot of attention because of it, but Cheng also Guan Yu was defeated by Guan Yu, and others thought he was "Guan Yu" in whatever role he played after that.
In the end, he still did not escape the clutches of "Guan Yu", and could only play some small roles in some small-cost dramas.
In order to make a living, he began to take on commercial performances in the image of "Guan Gong", which made many netizens feel disgusted.
In 2021, Lu Shuming also began to live broadcast like many celebrities, and he sold nothing else but Wuliangye, which made netizens feel that it was exactly the same as Pan Changjiang's routine.
For a while, his reputation was extremely bad, but in fact, Lu Shuming was a good "second brother" in and out of the play.
Li Jingfei, who played Zhang Fei, was in an embarrassment due to illness, and Lu Shuming still chose to help Li Jingfei when his conditions were not very good.
In 2022, Lu Shuming passed away due to a sudden cerebral infarction, and he continued to help Li Jingfei before his death.
Li Jingfei Zhang Fei
Others may go to the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to audition for money and fame, but Li Jingfei is different, he is for his dreams, and he likes Zhang Fei very much.
Before playing Zhang Fei, he was born as a farmer and had no culture, he was a small drama actor, and he played some small roles without any fame.
Arriving at the scene with love, he found that there were many actors auditioning, and instantly he felt that he was hopeless.
came to the scene, he still decided to give it a try, and when he introduced himself, many directors on the scene didn't know who he was, but Li Jingfei still stabilized his mentality.
After trying out a "Three Visits to the Thatched House", the director was a little undecided, and decided to let him try "The Ancient City Meeting" again, and after the performance, the director did not tell him the final result, but asked him to go home and wait.
I thought I was out of drama when I received a call from the crew and decided to let him play Zhang Fei.
After "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became popular, he did not focus on filming, he was still engaged in the drama industry, and rarely appeared in TV series.
In 2010, Li Jingfei unfortunately suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving serious sequelae, and by 2015, he experienced two recurrences of cerebral hemorrhage.
Each recurrence aggravated his condition, causing him to lose his ability to take care of himself, confined to a wheelchair, and his illness consumed almost all of his savings.
In 2016, after learning about Li Jingfei's situation, Lu Shuming actively helped him contact a nursing home, and his condition improved a lot under the care of doctors.
When the 25th anniversary of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was reunited in 2019, Li Jingfei also came to the scene accompanied by his daughter and expressed his gratitude to all the actors in the crew for their help to him.
said that he would actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and wanted to film with everyone again.
But this wish did not come true in the end, and after Lu Shuming's death in November 2022, he also left shortly after.
Hong Universe Zhou Yu
Hong Universe had filmed a lot of scenes before starring in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but there was no splash.
Hong Universe's process of playing Zhou Yu was also very bumpy, he was going to Zhou Yu but accidentally played the young Yuan Shao, and left the crew after filming.
But the director team looked for a long time and didn't find a suitable actor to play Zhou Yu, and then they thought of Hong Yu, who originally wanted to play Zhou Yu, so they called him back.
The role of "Zhou Yu" turned around and returned to Hong Universe.
Many viewers didn't find out that the young Yuan Shao and Zhou Yu were actually played by one person when they watched it, which is enough to prove Hong Universe's acting skills.
With the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hong Universe's film appointments have gradually increased, and he has starred in some classic film and television works, such as "Princess Wencheng".
At the end of the 90s of the 20th century, Hong Universe transformed into a director and producer, and gradually began to retreat into the background.
But many people still can't forget the Zhou Yu he played, who will participate in the show "Classic Night" Annual Ceremony in 2024, and Zhang Beiguang, who plays Lu Bu, recited "Linjiang Immortals: Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water".
Zhang Guangbei Lu Bu
knows that Lu Bu is very lustful, but Zhang Guangbei, who plays Lu Bu, is a person who loves his wife.
The director of the crew felt that Zhang Guangbei was very in line with Lu Bu's image, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guangbei, who had rich performances, couldn't act in the emotional scene with Diao Chan.
The director at the scene angrily reprimanded: "You are a big man, you can't even be lustful."
In fact, he couldn't blame him, because he had just married his wife, so he was very embarrassed to "make out" with the actress, but in the end he completed the performance by faith.
Later, Zhang Guangbei also starred in "Bright Sword" and played the classic role of "Chu Yunfei", it can be said that Zhang Guangbei can eat for a lifetime by relying on these two roles.
But the appearance of Zhang Guangbei's daughter Zhang Sile made the public have some disgust with the father and daughter.
Zhang Sile watched his father move around in various crews since he was a child, and he also wanted to try to be an actor, but Zhang Guangbei couldn't resist his daughter, so he had to agree to her.
But Zhang Sile did not inherit the advantages of his parents' appearance, he was not outstanding in the entertainment industry, and his acting skills were mediocre, leaving no memory points for the audience.
But Zhang Guangbei and his wife often took her to the show, which made the audience disgusted.
I don't know if Zhang Guangbei will regret agreeing to his daughter to act.
epilogue
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can become a classic, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of many actors.
And now 30 years have passed, and the actors have long since changed, but the former "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" recorded their best appearance.
In 2010, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also remade, but there was no version of more than 94 years, how can there be any classics that cannot be surpassed, it's just that people are impetuous and unwilling to work hard.
