Among the film and television works featuring Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, "Tang Ming Huang", which premiered in 1993, is the most classic one. The drama begins with Li Longji's purging of the "Webster Party" and ends with Li Longji's death at the Dragon Hall.
The entire timeline spans more than 50 years.
As a large production produced by CCTV at that time, "Tang Ming Huang" was a piece of "fragrant food" during the preparatory period. Especially the male protagonist Li Longji, everyone wants to play.
The final actor, Liu Wei, was not the director's initial favorite.
To be able to get this role in hand, Liu Wei relies on a more real force. During the audition, he shaved his head to prove his determination that "I'm ready to even wear a hood."
But despite this, the director team based on Chen Jialin still felt that he could not do it. After the episode began filming, I also had the idea of changing actors. What finally made the director team change their minds was a scene in which Tang Minghuang "cried".
This role eventually allowed Liu Wei to win the 10th "Golden Eagle Emperor".
Inside the play is an amorous emperor, and outside the play, Liu Wei's love history is also very rich.
When filming "Tang Ming Huang", Liu Wei and He Qingshang were lovers. After that, he also had a relationship with Yang Ruoxi. But in the end, he was accompanied by a makeup artist in the film studio who accompanied him into marriage and has been with him to this day.
As a famous "emperor of the wind" in history, Li Longji did not lack red faces in his life. Among them, Wu Huifei and Yang Guifei are the most famous.
The person who starred in "Emperor Tang Ming" as "Concubine Wu Hui" was Li Jianqun.
Li Jianqun played "Wu Huifei" from a young girl to an exit, and the scene of playing the pipa when she appeared not only surprised Li Longji in the play, but also surprised the audience in front of the screen.
Concubine Wu Huifei was beautiful in appearance and ingenious in her heart, and was very favored by Li Longji. Even though wu Zetian had learned before, Li Longji still wanted to make her empress several times. It was only the many opponents who failed to make the trip.
In addition to playing "Wu Huifei" in the play, Li Jianqun also served as the costume designer of the play. That is to say, the character costume decorations that have amazed countless audiences in the play are all from her handwriting.
In the 13th Feitian Awards, Li Jianqun won the best "Clothing Award" for this.
After Wu Huifei, Li Jianqun's representative roles include the black cloud of Wuzang in "Helan Xue", Xu Cairen in "Wu Zetian", and Rong Fei in "Kangxi Dynasty".
It is a pity that The unforgettable screen image and the versatile Li Jianqun died of cancer in July 2020 at the age of 63.
Yang Guifei in "Emperor Tang Ming" was played by Lin Fangbing, who was 25 years old at the time.
In the role of Yang Yuhuan, director Chen Jialin initially belonged to He Qing, but was rejected by the other party. After Lin Fangbing took over the performance, she was originally thin and thin, in order to get close to the character image, she relied on the "cramming" fattening method to add dozens of pounds of weight to herself.
Yang Yuhuan in the play, lively and delicate in the early stage, graceful and luxurious in the middle period, is truly like walking out of the picture, and is still considered to be the most classic version of the gods.
However, because of the reasons of gaining weight and losing weight, although the role of Yang Yuhuan made Lin Fangbing win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, she suffered from asthma and had to temporarily leave the show business circle to recuperate her body.
At the end of 1997, Lin Fangbing made a comeback and successively starred in dramas such as "Swallow Li San" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". After filming "The Heroine Breaks the Sky", the 35-year-old Lin Fangbing officially withdrew from the entertainment circle.
From 2000 to the present, Lin Fangbing has taken his family as the focus of his life and calligraphy and poetry as his best. Husband and wife have a good relationship, the son is still angry, and the life is enviable.
In addition to Li Jianqun and Lin Fangbing, Zhou Jie, the "Zhao Lifei" and Liao Xueqiu, the "Lady of Yu Guo" in the play, are also very brilliant characters.
Zhao Lifei did have a person in history, she was beautiful but from a humble origin, and she married Li Longji when he was still the king of Linzi. Before Concubine Wu Hui appeared, she was the concubine who was most loved by Li Longji. After the appearance of Concubine Wu, Zhao Lifei gradually fell out of favor and died of illness at the age of 34.
Zhou Jie, who is equally famous with Yang Liping, not only dressed up brilliantly in the play, but also had many wonderful dance scenes.
The setting of the role of gentleness, forbearance and kindness also makes Zhao Lifei, played by Zhou Jie, pity the audience. In particular, the drama of dancing with illness and dancing to the extreme renders the beauty and misfortune of Zhao Lifei to the extreme.
After "Tang Ming Huang", Zhou Jie starred as Yang Yuhuan in the film version of "Yang Guifei", which was ranked "the most classic" alongside Lin Fangbing's version, and netizens often debated which was the most beautiful.
What Lady Yu Guo left in the history books was the arrogance of life and beauty.
Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Hu's Ji Ling Tai. In the poem "Second", the sentence "Ping Ming rode into the palace gate" not only wrote about the arrogance of Lady Yu Guo, but also pointed out the ambiguity between her and Li Longji.
And the two sentences of "but feel the color of the fat powder, lightly sweep the moth's eyebrows towards the supreme", and interpret The confidence of Lady Yu Guo for her beauty is interpreted accurately.
Liao Xueqiu, who was originally a Sichuan opera actor, is actually not exquisite and perfect in appearance, but the style and flattery between her eyebrows have made many viewers who have seen her works unforgettable.
Although Madame Yu Guo's role in the play is not very much, Liao Xueqiu's performance is enough to be remembered. It is precisely because she interpreted the role brilliantly, and later when filming the film version of "Yang Guifei", director Chen Jialin still left this role to her.
Liao Xueqiu, who is now 67 years old, is still insisting on his beloved acting career. In the drama "The Secret of Family Affection", which aired in April this year, she starred in the role of Han Mingzhu.
There are important scenes in "Tang Ming Huang", and the actors who have passed away now, as well as Tian Chengren, who played "Li Dan" in the play.
Speaking of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, many people's first impression of him is that he has a weak personality. The history books also have praise and depreciation for him. But overall, this man is not simple. However, in the episode, Li Dan's image is still set according to his soft and indecisive nature.
At that time, Tian Chengren had not yet starred in "Warm Spring", so he was not yet the "Little Flower Grandpa" that the audience was familiar with. However, there are already many representative works, such as "The Road is Clear but There is Clear" and "Fence. Woman and Dog". When he appears on camera, even viewers who do not know his own name will recognize the "Jujube Gonggong".
In January 2020, the 93-year-old Tian Chengren passed away, and many netizens lamented that Xiaohua had no grandfather.
As a large production, the number of protagonists and supporting characters in "Tang MingHuang" is large, and it is no longer counted here.
But there is a role that has to be mentioned.
Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui had a daughter with the title of "Princess Xianyi". Playing the young Princess Xianyi in the play was Yang Mi, who had just turned 4 at the time.
This is also Yang Mi's first role.
Although "Princess Xianyi" is only a small supporting role in the play, it is the beginning of Yang Mi's acting road. Now she is not only a first-line flower in the domestic entertainment industry, but also a producer.
How many people can imagine that the little girl doll who was held in the arms of Li Jianqun and Liu Wei would later become a big star in the show business circle?
