1. The masterpiece of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" evokes nostalgic passion, and the stars have fallen and the vicissitudes of the world have changed dramatically
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the turn of spring and summer in 2024, and a variety show with the theme of nostalgia is like a clear stream, which instantly aroused a warm response and widespread attention in the hearts of the audience.
This program carefully selected and rearranged the classic TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" that swept the country in 1996, allowing countless viewers to immerse themselves in that period of blood and grievances again.
Looking back on this classic work, the audience can't help but sigh that time flies and time flies. Those actors who once shined brightly on the screen and performed vividly, but now their situations are very different, which is embarrassing.
Some people suffered Waterloo at the peak of their careers and were ruthlessly banned, some were controversial and their reputations were tarnished because of trivial family matters, some people lived a leisurely life like a wild crane and enjoyed their old age, and what is even more sad is that two respected old actors have left us and bid farewell to this world forever.
The actors who once sweated and struggled together on the same stage now have different life paths, some choose to fade out of the public eye and retire silently, some have gone through hardships, perseverance, regroup, and create brilliance, and some enjoy superior material conditions and live a carefree life.
These legendary experiences in and out of the play made the audience deeply feel the ruthlessness of the years and the impermanence of fate.
2. Stick to the principle and resist the "water injection drama", Li Baotian retired to live a quiet life in his later years
Looking back on the past, the first thing to mention is the banned teacher Li Baotian. , a veteran actor who successfully created the image of the actor Liu Luoguo in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", was jointly banned by investors because he resolutely resisted starring in the "water injection drama", and his acting career was stagnant for eight years.
Back then, "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" was widely praised as soon as it was broadcast, and Mr. Li Baotian's superb acting skills made the audience deeply resonate with Liu Luoguo, a historical figure. However, the crew originally planned to launch a sequel while the iron was hot, but in order to pursue greater commercial interests, the investor forcibly pieced together a "water injection drama" with worrying quality.
For this irresponsible behavior, Mr. Li Baotian, who has always adhered to professional ethics, felt extremely angry, and he expressed his position without hesitation: "Such a script is really ashamed of the audience!" He resolutely refused to act, and made it clear that he was no longer willing to cooperate with his previous partners Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli.
Mr. Li Baotian then sued the investor in court, and although he finally received a compensation of up to 1.9 million yuan, it was followed by a collective ban of the entire industry.
is so legendary, the once glorious Li Baotian had no choice but to retreat behind the scenes and leave the film and television industry that has struggled for many years. Today, he has lived his old age leisurely, and his physical and mental health has been in good condition.
However, on the other hand, his son Li Yu has found his own place in the world of fashion trends, showing a very different attitude and values towards life from his father.
3. Due to fate, he climbed to the peak of his career with classic roles, and his married life has gone through three divorces and constant waves
The life course of He Shen, the soul of the TV series - Wang Gang, can be described as tortuous and dramatic. Before participating in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Wang Gang was already a well-known and famous host, but his image has always been righteous and awe-inspiring.
For the first time, he challenged to play the role of this insidious and cunning, greedy and extremely greedy, and his acting skills were perfect, shaping this role vividly, and he was a corrupt official with a "brain full of fat intestines", which made the audience remember it vividly.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation, and Wang Gang was given the title of "corrupt official" and became popular all over the country. His career also reached its peak, and success opened a new chapter for him.
Since then, Wang Gang has found his own way of acting and has become a "Heshen professional", and has played this role in popular film and television works such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" for several consecutive years.
However, just as his career was in full swing, his married life encountered many difficulties. He has experienced three failed marriages, the first two wives are Du Xiaojuan and actor Cheng Fangyuan, and both marriages only lasted 1 to 3 years before they broke down.
When it comes to his marriage to Cheng Fangyuan, Wang Gang once described it as "ashamed and grateful". Until he met his third wife Zheng Yandong, who was 20 years younger than him, Wang Gang was happy to have Lin'er at the age of 60, and this year, his eldest daughter also ushered in the birth of her child, which can be described as double happiness.
Now, Wang Gang, who is 74 years old, no longer devotes himself to filming as he did in the past, but occasionally participates in some variety shows, and his style is still the same, and his achievements are remarkable. The twists and turns of his family life have had a big impact on his career, and now he has set off again and entered a new stage of his life.
Fourth, the career and family are both grasped, and the painful experience leads to debt
It is worth mentioning that the famous actor Zhang Guoli, who successfully created the image of Qianlong, once faced the trouble of family affairs, which affected his acting career to a certain extent.
Prior to this, he won the honor of Best Actor with the drama "Mixed in Beijing" and achieved his first breakthrough However, his real rise was after successfully playing the role of Qianlong, and he has repeatedly won many important acting awards such as the Feitian Award, the Golden Rooster Award, and the Magnolia Award.
However, when his career was in full swing, Zhang Guoli's son was imprisoned twice for drug abuse, which undoubtedly brought him great humiliation and pain, and even vowed to "kill his relatives in righteousness".
Despite this, in the face of public doubts and pressure, he still chose to ask for everyone's forgiveness in a low voice, in order to protect his son's future, this scene is really emotional, like arsenic deeply stabbing Zhang Guoli's reputation.
Fortunately, the well-known director Feng Xiaogang reached out in time and invited their father and son to participate in the movie "1942", which injected new vitality into Zhang Guoli's career. However, his son's actions once again disappointed him, and only two years later, he was arrested and imprisoned again for drug use, and his future has been ruined ever since.
At this critical moment, another "VAM agreement" pushed Zhang Guoli into the abyss of life. In order to acquire his film and television company, Huayi Brothers did not hesitate to invest up to 225 million yuan, and Zhang Guoli also invested 152 million yuan as shares, and the two parties agreed that if the company's annual income within six years failed to reach 30 million yuan, he would be responsible for personally making up for the loss.
However, Zhang's company's annual revenue has been stagnant, and Huayi Brothers' own business difficulties have left Zhang Guoli with a heavy debt burden. In order to pay off these debts, the former film and television superstar had to work hard and various record commercials poured in, and he is still struggling to get out of the situation.
In addition, the other actors who participated in the performance of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" have very different life trajectories. For example, Li Jiacun, the actor of Liu Luoguo's personal servant Zhang Cheng, was originally a cross talk actor, but after completing the filming of the TV series "The Legend of Xilaile", he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and devoted himself to the creation of painting art.
Today, he has a successful solo exhibition in Hong Kong, but little is known about him, except for his silver hair.
In contrast, Qiu Yue, who played the role of Yancui in the play, although she played the role of Nezha in "Journey to the West" left a deep impression on the audience, but other than that, her other film and television works are little known.
Since the moment she lost her husband Xie Yuan, she has stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the film and television industry without hesitation, and now we can hardly find a trace of the latest news about her.
And Wang Luyao, another actor who once played the leading role in the TV series "Sable Chan", chose to marry into a wealthy family and lived an enviable and wealthy life. Her husband is a well-known giant on the Hurun Global Real Estate Rich List, and although Wang Luyao is now a little plump, she enjoys a carefree and happy time.
