Act I: The Intertwining and Loss of Life
It was a dark night, and the silence permeated every corner of the hospital, except for the faint ticking of infusions silently telling us that time was quietly passing.
On the hospital bed, Li Baotian closed his eyes slightly and fell into a coma, his breathing was full of exhaustion and weakness.
Suddenly, he felt someone gently touching his arm, and he barely opened his tired eyes, and saw his familiar and old father, whose face was haggard but still full of kindness, staring at him.
His father's eyes were full of endless care, and he carefully adjusted Li Baotian's arm posture, lest the long-term pressure would cause his arm to become numb. Li Baotian's heart suddenly felt like a heavy blow, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
A few years ago, when the young and vigorous Li Baotian ran away from home, his angry father once said a chilling sentence: "If you choose to study drama, then I will no longer recognize you as my son, and you will not be able to become a great actor in the future!" At that time, Li Baotian was deeply stabbed by this sentence, and in addition to his grief and indignation, he made up his mind that he must achieve outstanding achievements on the road of drama, so that his father would regret his decision.
From that moment on, Li Baotian's guilt for his father roared like thunder in his heart. The estrangement between them did not completely dissipate, and he was unable to see the last side of his father after all, which became the biggest regret and pain in Li Baotian's life.
Even though he has gone farther and farther on the road of drama and achieved more and more achievements, this regret is still like an invisible thorn deep in his heart, which is difficult to let go.
Act II: The Lonely Journey of Life
Before Li Baotian ran away from home, he was a child who broke his parents' hearts. As the only seedling in the family, his parents naturally love him in every way, hoping that he can have a decent and stable career and live a comfortable and comfortable life.
However, Li Baotian has been a lively and active child since he was a child, and he often causes trouble, which makes his parents worried. Once, Li Baotian made a mistake at school and was severely criticized by the teacher and punished to stand on the playground.
At this moment, he was standing alone in the afterglow of the sun, trembling, until the sky was getting dark, and his mother, who loved him deeply, noticed the abnormality, and hurried to the school in a rage, and angrily denounced the irresponsible teacher in public.
Since then, Li Baotian has fallen into an even more miserable situation on campus, and people regard him as a "bad omen", but they are afraid to avoid him and dare not come into contact with this "disaster star".
In this way, Li Baotian, who was only 14 years old, resolutely chose to run away from home and joined a small local Bangzi troupe and began his apprenticeship. Most of the children in the troupe come from poor families, and Li Baotian, as a city resident, coupled with his withdrawn personality that has never changed, has naturally become an outlier in the eyes of everyone, suffering from the indifference and rejection of others.
Life is even more difficult to describe, requiring a lot of physical energy and high-intensity training every day, but the rations allocated to him are far from meeting basic needs.
During those difficult years, he often fainted due to malnutrition.
Once, Li Baotian suddenly fell into a coma during training, and when he woke up, he was already lying on a hospital bed, and the concerned face of his mother, whom he had not seen for a long time, came into view.
Despite the hardships of life and the cold eyes of others, Li Baotian's firm belief in becoming an excellent actor has never wavered. On the path of drama, he has experienced hardships, but deep down there is an unyielding force surging in his heart, inspiring him to keep moving forward.
He silently vowed in his heart that no matter how tortuous and bumpy the road ahead was, he would go all out to realize his dream and impress those who had despised him. Therefore, Li Baotian did not hesitate to embark on the road of drama and opened a new chapter in his life.
3. A legendary acting career
At the age of 32, Li Baotian finally got his wish and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. For this "mature student" who is about to enter middle age, it is not easy to gain a foothold on the road of acting, and in order to surpass his younger peers, he has to put in more effort than ordinary people.
Li Baotian showed his amazing determination and perseverance at this stage, he always studied the script without sleep or food, deeply analyzed the personality characteristics and behavioral habits of each character, and strived to be able to perfectly interpret each role in the play during the rehearsal process.
After a long period of tempering and baptism, Mr. Li Baotian's acting career is undoubtedly a magnificent and brilliant journey! With his extraordinary acting skills, he has created many unforgettable film and television roles, especially those masterpieces that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such as "Divine Doctor Xilaile" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which have made him an irreplaceable star in the hearts of the audience and has an incomparable status in the film and television industry.
Authoritative critics have not hesitated to praise him as "one of China's most outstanding actors". In many films directed by Zhang Yimou, Mr. Li Baotian has shown amazing talent, whether playing a decent role or a villain, he can always dig out from the bottom of his heart and perfectly present the character's personality traits, which has won unanimous praise from the audience and industry insiders.
However, his success did not happen overnight, but was the result of his decades of consistent dedication and perseverance. He can give life to lines that seem prosaic to others, as he says: "I have never used other people's props, how can I deduce a sense of realism?" "This love for the role and the noble pursuit of the work ethic is really worthy of our admiration and learning.
It is precisely because of this firm belief in the performing arts that Mr. Li Baotian continued to move forward on the road of acting, and finally became a well-deserved generation of performance masters.
Fourth, a principled choice
After the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" was broadcast, it caused an unprecedented sensation, and the three actors Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang were praised by the audience as the "iron triangle" of the film and television industry. At the time, the producers saw the huge commercial potential and were eager to launch a sequel to continue the popularity.
When they found Mr. Li Baotian, they were unexpectedly resolutely rejected by him. Mr. Li Baotian said solemnly that the sequel may destroy the happy ending that the character of Liu Luoguo in the original book should have, which is disrespectful to excellent cultural works.
As an actor, he would rather defend the purity of his work than succumb to the temptation of monetary gain.
It is precisely because of this decision to stick to principles that the outside world even labeled him a "drama bully" and "a proud person". During the filming process, Wang Gang was late for personal matters many times, which in Mr. Li Baotian's view was a serious lack of basic respect for the profession, so he decided not to be with this person anymore.
In the blink of an eye, this comment with the theme of "arbitrariness" swept the online world like a storm, and even made some people in the entertainment industry take advantage of the situation to announce the severance of the so-called "iron triangle" relationship with it! However, all this is not shocking enough for us! The real outrage of Li Baotian happened later - for resolutely defending the terms of the contract, the producer was taken to court, but unexpectedly attracted a group of crazy retaliation from the production company - they joined forces to impose a total ban on Li Baotian, in order to vent their deep resentment and dissatisfaction.
Since then, Li Baotian has gradually fallen into a trough in the film and television industry, and his once glamorous career has suffered a heavy blow, and he has to choose from many unremarkable scripts, just to maintain the basic necessities of life.
However, even in such a difficult situation, Li Baotian still firmly stated that he has never regretted his decision to stick to his principles.
