In 2003, a Chinese medicine-themed TV series "Divine Doctor Xi Laile" was released, and the simple and clear story line plus the witty and humorous plot style attracted countless fans as soon as it was broadcast, and also caused a wave of enthusiasm for learning Chinese medicine.
As the acting skills of Xi Laile and Zhang Defu's master and apprentice in the play, the audience friends can't help but be amused, and the "super friendship" story between Xi Laile and Sai XiShi's neighbors also brought fire to the traditional Chinese dish "Iron Lion Head".
1. Li Baotian
As the main actor in the play, Li Baotian's acting skills naturally need not be said, from Yang Tianqing in "Ju Dou" to Liu Yong in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Li Baotian, whether he plays a small citizen in the city or a nobleman, can always portray the three points of the stunning character and leave a deep impression on the audience's heart.
The same is true of this "Divine Doctor Xi Laile", under the premise of such a witty and humorous style, Li Baotian can also fully express the skills of this folk divine doctor in addition to being funny.
After "Divine Doctor Xilaile", Li Baotian has successively starred in many TV series such as "Wang Baochang" series and "Cook as an Official", and in 2013, he launched the sequel "Shen doctor Xilaile Legend".
However, the ratings and word-of-mouth of the sequel are far less than the first one, and the reason is that in addition to the change of some actors, the script plot is the failure of the show.
The first Xilaile as a folk divine doctor, folk remedies for curing diseases of the earth, folk remedies throughout the series, this is not only a testimony of Xilaile to show its medical skills, but also the first successful "medicine primer".
In contrast, the sequel, the first few episodes did not appear a single prescription, which made the tone of the opening of the show wrong, which greatly reduced the interest of the show in the hearts of the audience.
In recent years, Li Baotian rarely appeared on the screen, recently Li Baotian participated in the movie "Looking for Han", from a folk doctor to a national master, the film's set exposed a video of Li Baotian, it can be seen that the 74-year-old Li Baotian is old, not only the age spots on the face are obvious, but also the beard and eyebrows have all become gray.
However, Li Baotian in the video is full of anger in his speech, not only playing on the swing, but also lying on the bed to show off his acting skills, which shows that he has been in good health recently.
2. Du Yulu
In "Divine Doctor Xi Laile", he played the villain of the play, Wang Tianhe, the taiyi, and the sinister cunning, because of the jealousy of his peers, maliciously suppressed Xi Laile, and the means can be described as all-use, and he is already a tai doctor without medical ethics.
Wang Tianhe's positioning of this role is more difficult to grasp, born in a medical family, Shuxiang Mendi, he is more expensive as the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, such superior self-conditions but to shape into a sinister villain, such a shaping is very difficult.
Du Yulu explains this role very well, both the temperament after the famous door and the cunning of the sinister villain.
Many of the film and television images created by Du Yulu are impressive. Zhang Tingyu, an important minister of the Three Dynasties in "Yongzheng Dynasty", Secretary Gong in "Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee", and Old Lady Bai in "The Gate of the Great Mansion".
Every character Du Yulu can always interpret the characteristics of the character.
Because of the number of high-ranking officials played, some netizens gave Du Yulu an elegant name "high-level official professional household". This is also an affirmation of Du Yulu's acting skills from another way.
Du Yulu suffered from lung cancer, and in the 10-year struggle with the disease, he still insisted on shooting, which can be described as a benchmark in the acting world.
In February 2020, Du Yulu, who was suffering from cancer, died at home, and when he died, the TV series "Striving Melody" that he participated in was being broadcast on CCTV, which is the best proof of Du Yulu's love and dedication. I hope that this old artist with both virtue and art will go all the way.
3. Wu Jun
Wu Jun played the apprentice Zhang Defu in "Divine Doctor Xi Laile", Zhang Defu is the funny person of this drama, if the master-apprentice duo of this drama is compared to a cross-talk actor, then the apprentice Zhang Defu is definitely funny, and the master Xilaile is the praise.
The master is responsible for seeing the disease and curing the disease, the apprentice's medical skills are not as good as the master, but he can speak wittily in the process of practicing medicine, and he can make the empress dowager Cixi who does not smile even smile, it can be said that the witty and humorous style of this play is inseparable from Zhang Defu played by Wu Jun.
