Romance of the Three Kingdoms figure photography

1989 TV series A Dream of Red Mansions was also broadcast on major TV stations. Director Wang Fulin received a task from CCTV and asked him to shoot Four Great Classical Novels's Romance of the Three Kingdoms again.

What Wang Fulin is afraid of is that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, unlike a dream of red mansions, spans decades of real history, with many characters and large-scale war scenes, so it is the most difficult to adapt among the four classical novels.

Facing the waiting of CCTV, Wang Fulin said three words: thank you.

He didn't refuse, but he needed enough time to study the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and prepare for the later filming.

In a year's time, he intensively read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and studied every detail with historical experts. It was not until 1990 that it was officially put into shooting.

Although there are many difficulties in the script, scenes and props during the filming process, the most difficult thing for the director team is actually the choice of actors.

There are as many as three or four hundred famous actors in the play alone. Just gathering these suitable actors, the crew will make great efforts.

In a few months, the crew almost traveled all over the country, not only looking for those actors who have become famous, including many unknown newcomers, but also beginning to emerge in the entertainment circle after being excavated by The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

1In the early morning of New Year's Day in 994, at the suggestion of Wang Fulin, CCTV piloted three episodes after the Spring Festival Evening.

I thought there wouldn't be too many viewers in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect the ratings to be comparable to those of the Spring Festival Evening, which made CCTV and Wang Fulin breathe a sigh of relief.

After The Romance of The Three Kingdoms was officially broadcast, it caused a sensation in the whole country. Even Japanese TV stations spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of TV series, and after the broadcast, there was a "Three Kingdoms fever" in Japan.

You may delay, but time will not. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been premiered for 28 years. Now the actors in the play have also gone out of different lives. Some people quit the film circle, some people are seriously ill, some people die, and some people become big names. Now they are red and purple. ...

1, Sun Yanjun (played by Liu Bei)

Actor Sun Yanjun plays Liu Bei in the play, and he interprets Liu Bei's kindness, gentleness, steadiness and other characters very well.

Sun Yanjun, in particular, is good at accurately conveying the emotions and psychology of characters through the changes of facial expressions, which tests the basic skills of actors.

At that time, when choosing actors, Sun Yanjun was the first group to decide, and director Wang Fulin was very satisfied with his performance.

Later, in an interview, Sun Yanjun said that at first he felt that Liu Bei was always crying and didn't want to fight; In contrast, he liked Cao Cao better, but the role was given to Bao Guoan. Although he was disappointed, he tried his best to play the role well.

Life in Sun Yanjun is very difficult. His parents died before he 18 years old. Forced to survive, he worked as a temporary worker, and then went to the anniversary oilfield as a worker.

It was the rough experience of his youth that enabled him to control a lot of crying steadily when he played Liu Bei. As he said, the tears that didn't flow in those days were all gone when he played Liu Bei.

1973 with artistic dreams, Sun Yanjun, after years of hard work, was admitted to the May 7th Art College of the Central Committee. After graduation, she entered the China Youth Art Theatre and became a drama actor.

In addition to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Yanjun has also appeared in film and television works such as Sun Wu, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Guerrilla in the Plain. Due to the high demand for roles and few works, no works have been published on 20 16.

Sun Yanjun in life is very low-key, riding an electric car to and from work every day. Two years ago, she went on a hot search because the electric car caught fire.

He is indifferent to fame and fortune and leads an ordinary life.

2. Li Jingfei (played by Zhang Fei)

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei is the most flamboyant one. Li Jingfei grasped the two characteristics of the role, namely "being brave and fearless" and "attaching importance to feelings and righteousness", and won unanimous recognition from the audience.

Before starring in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Jingfei was an actor of Hebei Repertory Theatre and occasionally participated in the filming of film and television dramas.

At that time, I heard that the cast of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was looking for an actor, and Li Jingfei, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still: he grew up in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and if he could play Zhang Fei in a TV series, his dream would really come true.

Later, in an interview, Li Jingfei performed a "Gu Chenghui", and he apologized to Guan Yu. He shed tears at the scene and infected Wang Fulin and others, so the role of Zhang Fei fell on him.

Li Jingfei suffered a lot for this role.

For example, in order to play Zhang Fei's feeling of "a leopard with eyes", Li Jingfei kept that kind of stare and eyes wide open all those years in the crew, and only at the end of a scene did he take time to squint.

However, after filming Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Jingfei did not take this opportunity to develop in the film and television industry, but returned to the theater to continue his drama performance.

Later, Li Jingfei also appeared in some film and television works, such as the rogue "Hammer" in legend of mir and Zhang Man in A Beautiful Life. Although they are all supporting roles, they are all wonderful.

Li Jingfei and Zhang Fei are opposites in life. He is a quiet and introverted person. Apart from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has hardly asked for any film and television dramas, so there are not many works.

It's a pity that Li Jingfei was sent to the rescue after a sudden cerebral hemorrhage a few years ago. Although his condition has improved after treatment, he still can't speak neatly and can only move in a wheelchair.

3. Lu Shuming (played by Guan Yu)

Lu Shuming's version of Guan Yu, with long beard, eyebrows and eyes, completely achieved the goal of "having both form and spirit" and created an insurmountable image of Guan Yu.

Later, many portraits and statues of Guan Gong were created according to this version of Lu Shuming, which showed the audience's high recognition.

1956, Lu Shuming was born in an ordinary family in Qingdao. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, Lu Shuming's family moved to Xi 'an because his father supported the northwest construction.

Before becoming an actor, Lu Shuming played basketball and studied photography for several years. Until 1980, he accompanied his friends to Xi 'an Opera Troupe for an interview. Unexpectedly, he was taken fancy to and became an actor in a drama troupe.

In the late 1980s, by chance, Lu Shuming met Zhang Yimou, a native of Shaanxi. At the invitation of Zhang Yimou, He starred in the film The Battle of Ancient and Modern Qin Figurines, in which he played the tyrannical Qin Shihuang, and then entered the film and television circle.

Many people don't know that Lu Shuming actually has a very classic role, that is Niu Wangmo in a Chinese Odyssey.

At that time, "A Chinese Odyssey" was co-produced by Hong Kong and Ann Film Studio, and Ann Lu Shuming was asked to play it. He is very dedicated, wearing Niu Wangmo's heavy clothes in the hot summer, and has created a character that is regarded as a classic by countless audiences.

However, Lu Shuming had some conflicts with the staff during the filming. Finally, he also suggested not to sign his name at the end of the film. This role has become a thing of the past that he is unwilling to mention so far.

It is hard to imagine that Lu Shuming has already lost its glory. Now, under the banner of Guan Yu, he either carries goods live on the short video platform or strolls around Shang Yan. Many people question his excessive consumption.

4. Hong Yuzhou (played by Zhou Yu)

Zhou Yu, played by Hong Yuzhou in the play, looks handsome and has a sense of pride, and reveals the appearance of your son in every gesture.

Hong Yuzhou's interpretation of both form and spirit has been unanimously recognized by the audience. Even if Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Huang Weide and other stars appeared later, the audience thought of Hong Yuzhou's version for the first time.

In fact, Yuan Shao in the first few episodes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also played by Hong Yuzhou, who made Yuan Shao's conceit and indecision equally brilliant.

Later, Hong Yuzhou said in an interview that it was really difficult for him to play Zhou Yu.

The crew began to look for Hong Yuzhou to play Zhao Yun, but Hong Yuzhou's favorite role was actually Zhou Yu.

But it happened that the role of Yuan Shao couldn't find a suitable candidate. The director felt that the image of Hong Yuzhou was very suitable, so he had to go into battle temporarily and left the crew after filming Yuan Shao's scene.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the director group brought him back, saying that Zhou Yu's actor could not be found and wanted him to try, so Hong Yuzhou's wish finally came true after some twists and turns.

1984, Hong Yuzhou, who graduated from drama major, was assigned to Gansu Provincial Theatre. For more than ten years, he made movies while playing drama, and accumulated a certain popularity in the film and television circle, which contributed to the olive branch of the later Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, after Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hong Yuzhou's interest gradually shifted from performance to production. As a producer, he has produced TV series such as Black Ice, Black Hole and Black Fog, which are deeply loved by the audience.

Hong Yuzhou's successful family is also very happy. They have been in love with their wives for decades and have never had an affair. Now, my son has followed in his father's footsteps and become the boss of a film and television company.

Not long ago, when Hong Yuzhou endorsed a game, he wore Zhou Yu's clothes, which attracted many netizens' feelings.

Hong Yuzhou, who is over 60 years old, is full of old age in the picture, and the hero on the screen is getting older. No wonder netizens are lamenting the ruthlessness of the years.

5. Bao Guoan (played by Cao Cao)

From complacency to deep sophistry, from magnanimous atmosphere to paranoia, the image of Cao Cao at different levels in different periods was accurately grasped by Bao Guoan.

For example, when he was writing a poem, Cao Cao hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials by the Yangtze River, stood in the center and raised his glass and said, "Let's share wealth and happiness with other gentlemen!" The drunkard's sake is not wine. With the confidence and domineering of the king, I have to say that Bao Guoan is playing this generation of lean men.

It is worth mentioning that Bao Guoan almost missed this role.

When the crew invited him, Bao Guoan didn't agree, because he didn't have time to shoot the TV series "The Famous Arrest of Datang" for fear that he would screw up.

To Bao Guoan's surprise, Director Wang Fulin visited us personally. Deeply moved, Bao Guoan talked with the director for more than an hour, and decided not only to play Cao Cao, but also to do his best.

Although the image of Cao Cao is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that Bao Guoan hasn't had a chance to shoot it for several years, it is definitely a great blessing for an actor to present such an excellent role in his acting career.

In addition, Bao Guoan's characters such as Song Jiang in Water Margin and Lin Zexu in Opium War are also deeply impressed on the audience.

Now 76-year-old Bao Guoan has retired, but for those who are familiar with him, he will never forget the classic characters he created.

6. Zhang Shan (played by Zhao Yun)

Zhao Yun, played by Zhang Shan, is heroic and spirited in the play, which is very consistent with the image described in the book. Among them, the scene of Changbanpo riding the savior alone, Zhao Yun holding a silver gun, riding his horse to kill the enemy, makes people cry.

Zhang Shan, who graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Performance in Grade 82, is a classmate of Dahong Ni and He. After graduation, he was assigned to Beijing Film Factory and began his career as an actor.

When the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" cast, Zhang Shan actually took part in the role competition, but unfortunately it didn't succeed.

It was not until Yang Fan, who played Zhao Yun, temporarily quit for various reasons that Zhang Guangbei, Zhang Shan's best friend and Lu Bu, quickly recommended Zhang Shan to Cai Xiaoqing, one of the directors.

Although Zhang Shan is not much taller than last in appearance, Zhang Shan's martial arts, especially riding, are very elegant.

When he first entered the cast, director Cai Xiaoqing brought Zhang Shan a horse with the fiercest temper to test him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shan jumped to the horse with a weapon in one hand, and his vigorous skill made the director applaud again and again, so he was immediately settled.

Since then, Zhang Shan has forged an indissoluble bond with The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, not only playing Huang Gai in John Woo's movie Red Cliff, but also making a guest appearance in Zhao Zilong, the martial god.

Few people know that Zhang Shan has another identity, and that is Peisi Chen's brother-in-law.

From 65438 to 0995, Zhang Shan fell in love with her colleague, Peisi Chen's sister Chen Lida. Although Peisi Chen is worried about this, he still respects his sister's choice.

After marriage, Zhang Shan proved that his wife's choice was correct. These two people have always been very loving. After Chen Lida got hyperthyroidism, Zhang Shan even stopped filming for several years and took care of his wife until she recovered.

In recent years, Zhang Shan is still active in film and television circles, such as The Unintentional Wizard and Growing Together.

7. Tang Guoqiang (played by Zhuge Liang)

Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang in the play is elegant, almost just coming out of the book, and his performance is so vivid that later versions can't surpass it.

What impressed Pigou was an episode of this model, in which Zhuge Liang's generous remarks only brought a casual "We'll discuss it another day" from the little emperor Liu Chan, and he knelt in front of His Royal Highness Kong Ming with tears, which still moved people.

When starring in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tang Guoqiang was at the low point of his acting career, and was caught in a dilemma of no drama to shoot.

It is said that Wang Fulin will choose Tang Guoqiang to play Zhuge Liang. Many people object: Because Tang Guoqiang has always been the image of a "butter boy" in film and television works, how can he play Zhuge Liang who "died with all his heart"?

However, Wang Fulin felt that Tang Guoqiang, dressed in ancient costume and with a beard, was in line with Zhuge Liang's image temperament of "black silk scarf with feather fan".

In order to prove that his choice is correct, Wang Fulin asked Tang Guoqiang to perform six scenes of Zhuge Liang's coming out of Qishan in his later years, and Tang Guoqiang vividly interpreted Zhuge Liang's state in his later years by capturing his loneliness.

It was this scene that made Tang Guoqiang unanimously recognized and played the role of Zhuge Liang.

From 1976' s Great Wall of the South China Sea to 1979' s Little Flower, Tang Guoqiang has created many wonderful roles in his acting career for more than 40 years.

Today, Tang Guoqiang is a special actor in Mao Zedong. His meticulous performance of the chairman's personality and psychology has become the most recognized actor by the audience after Gu Yue.

8. Wu Xiaodong (played by Sun Quan)

Sun Quan, played by Wu Xiaodong in the play, is especially suitable for the image of "purple beard and blue eyes" written in the book, and his manners are full of the domineering of the king, so this version is also the most recognized by the audience among several versions.

At that time, when the actors were selected, the ministers of civil and military affairs of Wu were all settled, but Sun Quan, as the master, was still undecided.

In fact, Wang Fulin already has a suitable candidate in her mind, that is, Wu Xiaodong, who is the executive director of the crew.

Before that, Wu Xiaodong played Jia Yun in Wang Fulin's Dream of Red Mansions, but Wang Fulin always felt that Wu Xiaodong's temperament was not suitable for a handsome scholar and insisted that he play Sun Quan.

Interestingly, Wu Xiaodong also played Sun Jian, Sun Quan's father, in the same play, which is also a much-told story in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

From 65438 to 0978, Wu Xiaodong, who graduated from high school, entered Chengde Theatre with a tall and handsome image and soon became the "pillar" in the troupe.

From then on, Wu Xiaodong honed his acting skills on the stage of drama and began to take over film and television dramas.

1984, Wu Xiaodong got the chance to star in A Dream of Red Mansions, and participated in the actor training in the training class of the Red Chamber crew. It was also at this time that he met Lin Shen, the actress who played Pinger in the play, and they soon fell in love.

After filming A Dream of Red Mansions, Wu Xiaodong was admitted to the Department of Chinese Opera Director in order to improve his academic qualifications, and he also constantly expanded his contacts in the film and television circle.

1995, Wu Xiaodong and Lin Shen officially got married. After the marriage, Lin Shen gave birth to a daughter. She retired and took care of her husband and children at home.

With the support of his wife, Wu Xiaodong threw herself into the performance. In last year's tribute drama Armageddon, he also left a deep impression as Zhang Zhizhong.

Now, Wu Xiaodong and his wife have been married for more than 20 years, and their daughter has gone to college. The three of them are very happy.

9. Chen Hong (played by The Story of Diesim)

Although The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a man's play, the story of Diesim written by Chen Hong is definitely a unique bright color, which won her the praise of the first classical beauty.

The oval face and arch eyebrows, both in appearance and tenderness in eyes, satisfy the audience's imagination of diusim's story, so it is no wonder that heroes will fall for it.

Prior to this, Chen Hong had become famous with his works such as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Sunset Red Several Times, and Love of Dai Women. Even so, when she received the news that she would play The Story of Diesim, Chen Hong was still not confident that she could play the role well.

For this reason, Chen Hong made a lot of preparations. He not only read all kinds of materials in The Story of Diesim, but also insisted on losing weight every day and taking time off to learn dance to fit his role to the greatest extent.

After The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, Chen Hong was favored by Qiong Yao, who starred in many Qiong Yao dramas and gained numerous fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

1996, Chen Hong married Chen Kaige who pursued her hard. This relationship was full of uproar at that time, but for Chen Hong, she did find a home in life.

More than 20 years have passed, and Chen Hong and Chen Kaige are as loving as ever. Now, Chen Hong's son, Chen Feiyu, has embarked on the road of being an actor. I wonder if he can reach the level of Chen Hong entertainment circle.

10, He Qing (played by Xiao Qiao)

Xiao Qiao, played by He Qing, is the only one who can be compared with the story of Deusim, played by Chen Hong. The image of Xiao Qiao, gentle, graceful and profound, was very touching by He Qing.

He Qing, who was born in Zhejiang, likes to take part in various literary and artistic activities since he was a child. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, he was selected into Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe with a good voice.

1983 The film Shaolin Disciples went to Kunqu Opera Troupe to select actors. He Qing, who performed on the stage, was recognized at a glance. She played the heroine Qin Xiao in the film. Since then, she has turned to the road of film and television actors.

After filming, He Qing is going to go home by train. I didn't expect luck to visit her again.

While waiting for the bus at the railway station, He Qing met Yang Jie and a six-year-old child. Yang Jie was attracted by He Qing's outstanding temperament and asked her if she would like to play a role in Journey to the West.

In this way, He Qing, who just finished filming, went to Journey to the West to play the ever-changing girl of Bodhisattva Ji Ling, and her fresh and agile "fairy" temperament surprised everyone as soon as she appeared.

It is worth mentioning that He Qing is also the only actor who has performed all four great classical novels. Besides Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Journey to the West, there are also Qin Keqing in the movie version of A Dream of Red Mansions and Li Shishi in Water Margin. These costume characters have established her image as a "classical beauty" in the eyes of the audience.

From 65438 to 0992, He Qing's reputation as a "classical beauty" also spread to Qiong Yao in Taiwan Province Province, China. Qiong Yao invited her to star in the TV series Green Water and Castle Peak, and He Qing became the first mainland actress to star in Qiong Yao's TV series.

He Qing's career is smooth sailing, but her emotional experience is very bumpy.

She had a relationship with Wei Liu for five years. After breaking up, she married Xu Yajun, but this relationship didn't last long. In 2003, they parted ways

20 15 He Qing unfortunately suffered from a brain tumor. After the operation, he still has not fully recovered. I hope He Qing will recover soon and continue to perform brilliantly in his works.

1 1, Wei Zongwan (played by Sima Yi)

In the play, Wei Zongwan fully shows Sima Yi's coldness and cunning with rich expressions and actions, giving Sima Yi a feeling of flesh and blood, which is shocking.

When I was a child, I imitated others to sing opera, and later I worked as a worker and performed in the drama team of the factory. It is this love of acting that made Wei Zongwan choose to go on stage.

However, due to the delay in a special period, Wei Zongwan didn't get into contact with movies until 1982, when he was 44 years old, which was a "late bloomer".

1990, when the crew of Romance of the Three Kingdoms found Wei Zongwan, he was already in his fifties. When he heard that he was going to play Sima Yi, Wei Zongwan hesitated. On the one hand, he doesn't want to play the villain role in this folk impression, on the other hand, he is too old to ride a horse.

However, all the directors agreed that the role was indispensable to him. They also said that the circus could be double-decked, but Wei Zongwan couldn't refuse, so he took the role.

After The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was broadcast, Wei Zongwan's performance was well received, so many dramas later asked him to play this role, such as Gao Qiu in the Water Margin, Lu in the Song Dynasty and Wei Zongwan became "wicked professionals" from then on.

At the same time, Wei Zongwan is also a very good comedian. What impressed Pigou was that the classic clip of "playing cotton" between him and Huang Hong in Prison Break was still widely circulated.

Now Wei Zongwan is over 80 years old. Despite his advanced age, Wei Zongwan still hasn't given up acting. He appeared in Nightmare and Love Apartment 5 a few years ago.

12, 6 other actors

Embarrassed, in more than 20 years, many actors in the play have died.

For example, Li Po, who plays Dong Zhuo, is an experienced old actor who plays Dong Zhuo's fierce tyranny. In 20 13, Li po died at the age of 85.

In addition, Yang Junyong, who played Cao Pi, Huaili Yan, who played ordinary, Li Tie, who played Liu Chan, and Gu Lan, who played too fast, are all dead.

On the other hand, Pan Yueming, a walk-on actor who played "soy sauce" in the play, later became a celebrity in the entertainment circle.

At that time, Pan Yueming was less than 20 years old, and Sun Quan's son Sun Xiu barely remembered. Later, after the ups and downs of his career and family, he became popular again in middle age and became a representative figure of Mesozoic actors.

Generally speaking, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has made many actors, but in fact it has also limited the development of many actors.

Including the protagonist, many actors in the play did not surpass this role later, and the audience's understanding of them still stayed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms period.

But it also proves the classic position of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the hearts of the people. I pay tribute to all the actors in the play and thank them for jointly shaping these indelible classic characters!
