A child of an ordinary family has suffered many changes in his life, giving up his favorite acting career twice and bowing to life.

However, he has achieved great success, known as one of the "Four Plums in Beijing" and once became a multi-millionaire.

In the early 1990s, when the average wage of most workers was still twenty or thirty dollars, Li Chengru had130,000 dollars in his account. In that era when bicycles were still rare, he had already driven his own Mercedes-Benz.

He once revealed that he was in Beijing Siheyuan, next to the Forbidden City. If you fly a kite in your own yard, you can hang it directly in the corner of the Forbidden City. In this big quadrangle, there are 500 cherry trees and golden nanmu furniture, which are both classical and scientific, and extremely luxurious.

Nowadays, his wealth has gradually dispersed and reappeared in front of the camera, becoming an "old play bone" in the eyes of the audience.

In the movie "Big Man", he played the mental patient to the end. His wonderful performance directly shocked all the big-name movie café s present, and Xiaogang Feng gave him a hug directly.

In the "Longxugou" directed and performed by himself, he constantly groped, revised and improved, just to restore the original "Beijing flavor" in his heart.

In the hit TV series "Six Groups of Felony" that year, his performance of Zeng Keqiang made the audience relish and unforgettable.

In the variety reality show "Actor in Place", which was popular in recent two years, he was outspoken and won the praise of the audience with such sharp comments as "on pins and needles, on his back, and on his sore throat". And his "duel" with Jing M.Guo earned enough points for the play.

More and more people know the story of Li Chengru. From a well-off family to working in a factory, from loving the stage to being forced to do business, from running out of money to finding his own heart ... his life is like rolling waves, which is particularly wonderful.

1954165438+1On October 25th, an ordinary family in Beijing welcomed the ninth child of this big family.

Like most extended families, Li Chengru stayed with his brothers and sisters all day after his birth, feeling a happy childhood. His father is a very clever businessman and has the ability to support a large family. What he learned from his ears also made Li Chengru smart, which laid the foundation for his future career.

However, just after an accident, this big family with 1 1 children was on the verge of abyss.

My father died in an accident, and the burden of the whole family suddenly fell on my mother's shoulders. Due to financial distress, the mother who has stayed at home for many years and has no skills has to go out to the society to earn money to support her family.

Under the scorching sun, she carried sleepers, smashed wicker nails and did manual labor that only men could do. And these children often go out to dig wild vegetables just to fill their stomachs.

Years later, Li Chengru recalled her mother's hard work and was still moved by it.

Children from poor families have taken the initiative very early. Today, most 16-year-old children are still enjoying campus life under the protection of their parents, while 16-year-old Li Chengru entered Beiqi Garment Factory early, earning 16 yuan every month to share the pressure for his family.

Heavy physical labor didn't satisfy Li Chengru with the destruction of his life, but the occasional drama performance in the factory made him feel very interesting. In the long run, Li Chengru became an "opera fan" and went to the theater whenever he had time.

Opportunities are never reserved for those who are prepared. In that era of lack of entertainment, there were many young people who liked drama and stage, but it happened that Li Chengru went further than them.

1972, after a performance, he found Dong Xingji of Beijing People's Art Theatre and wanted to worship him as a teacher.

Who is Dong Xingji? In the industry, he is known as the "King of Music", which is a peak in China's recitation field.

"Come and see me at 3: 30 tomorrow afternoon"-this is the first sentence Dong He said.

The next day, Li Chengru arrived as promised. In this first class, let Dong try to read the classic "The Cutest Man". But throughout the class, Li Chengru was stuck with the first three words: in North Korea.

A performer should not only read his own lines, but also guess the body and mood of the characters in combination with the background of the times, and then choose the appropriate expression. One minute on stage, ten years off stage. These things are easier said than done.

In this way, Dong Hangji, who never accepted an apprentice, made an exception and accepted this reckless young man. From then on, Li Chengru began to study once a week for ten years.

"There are Bole in the world, and there are swift horses, which are common and Bole is not common." It can be said that it is impossible for Li Chengru to practice a perfect basic skill, and there will be no countless wonderful works later.

1980, 26-year-old Li Chengru signed up for the amateur performance training class of Beijing Film Academy.

Today, Beijing Film Academy is still an art school that countless people dream of. Although this "amateur performance training class" looks unremarkable, it was also an elusive existence for thousands of students in that year.

In this selection, 7,000 people signed up, but only 40 people finally landed. Li Chengru is one of them.

Imagine, without Li Chengru's determination and perseverance to love art and persist in learning, and without Dong Hangbi's inculcation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seized such a rare learning opportunity.

In this class, besides Li Chengru, the hero of the story, there are many big names who became famous in the film industry.

For example, the famous director Zhao Baogang. Only 10 years later, he directed the phenomenal TV series "Desire" in China film circle, which won countless flowers and applause, earned enough tears from Chinese people and was deeply loved by everyone.

Later, he directed many well-known film and television works, including The Story of the Editorial Department starring Li Chengru, which was also a sensation.

And another actor, Zhang Guangbei, has a better name. Both Lu Bu in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Chu Yunfei in The Sword are fascinating and unforgettable film and television images.

In this way, Li Chengru began to study systematically, which also benefited him a lot. After graduation, he was transferred to the The Journey to the West Theater and officially started his career.

As soon as he entered the Journey to the West, he volunteered to apply to the director for the role of "Tang Priest". However, Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West, finally rejected his request after many considerations.

As there is no troupe background, it is human nature for directors to have doubts about the fledgling Li Chengru in selecting and employing people. Fortunately, Li Chengru's briefing to Director Yang Jie attracted him. Li Chengru, who wanted to be a Tang priest, eventually became a reporter in The Journey to the West. Because of his excellent public relations skills, he was finally promoted to this position.

Li Chengru is very proud of this experience, claiming to be "the first batch of TV producers in New China".

In his view, The Journey to the West's field work experience has at least three advantages.

First of all, he exercised his organizational skills and public relations skills.

Field work covers almost every aspect of the shooting process. The clothing, food, shelter and transportation of actors, the overall coordination of props and equipment, and the communication with relevant departments are all complicated and cumbersome.

Li Chengru often runs around China with letters of introduction and travelling expenses, pointing to where to fight and looking for what he lacks. It is with this ability that the filming of Journey to the West can go smoothly. He not only recommended and excavated the actors of Bajie and Friar Sand, but also found the roots of Baimalong and the ginseng fruit tree that Tang Priest rode.

Second: I learned cutting-edge technology and broadened my horizons.

In order to better restore fairy tales, the Journey to the West crew specially imported an ADO stunt machine from the United States at a high price. Many scenes that seemed incredible when we were children were made by this technology. In this process, Li Chengru naturally benefited a lot.

Thirdly, I visited the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland with the The Journey to the West crew for free.

Some people say that thousands of books might as well go to Wan Li Road to study. The Journey to the West in Li Chengru is far from Wan Li.

Some people may ask. There are so many roles in Journey to the West that some actors can wear several hats. Since the role of Tang Priest was not played, why didn't Li Chengru try other roles?

Li Chengru also thought about this question and begged the director many times. But the director thinks he is a talented person. With him on the scene, everything can be arranged in an orderly way. If you delay the field work because you appear on the program, it will not be worth the loss.

At this time, Li Chengru's youth was successful, but his acting career was facing the end.

During the five-year journey to the West, he did not join CCTV as a regular employee, and no one asked him to film. Helpless, he had to temporarily put down his stage dream and start another equally wonderful business trip.

From 65438 to 0978, the reform and opening up completely activated the market vitality, which was the biggest outlet since the founding of New China.

1985, Li Chengru, who had to leave the stage for a while, began to go into business. It was a historic opportunity for reform and opening up. Everything is short and everything is easy to sell. As long as you are willing to contribute and transport products from one place to another, money will rush into your pocket like running water.

His first independent business was selling apples. Although his father died young, he was deeply impressed. As a teenager, Li Chengru had a strong business sense. Coupled with five years of field experience in the Westward Journey crew, he is comfortable with people and things.

As expected, his business is very successful. Sell apples first, then hairtail. With the capital I have accumulated in recent years, I quickly doubled my assets.

In addition to hard work and experience, he is also a very intelligent person in business.

He is not satisfied with his own money, but wants to make achievements that ordinary people can't think of and dare not think of. He feels that the products he sells must be special products, special prices, special quality, special services and special feelings.

199 1 year, he opened the first optional clothing store in Beijing-Tetter in Xidan, Beijing, where land is precious. The advanced investment consciousness and large-scale investment shocked the capital. Li Chengru released grandiloquence to "become a manic city" within three months. In fact, in just one month, Tebbit has become a household name in Beijing.

A large shopping mall covering an area of 1000 square meters has more than 500 square meters of shoes alone. The daily business income is more than 600,000 yuan. How did he do it?

First of all, he advertised in the Beijing Evening News for thousands of beautiful women, or even just for salespeople in special shopping malls.

As for the selection criteria, it is very strict, and it is selected in full accordance with the requirements of flight attendants. The height should be strictly controlled between 165cm- 175cm, and the image and temperament should be far superior to others before you can be elected. In the era when Beijing's monthly salary was only 200 yuan's, it was shocking that the monthly salary of waiters in special shopping malls reached five or six thousand yuan.

In the end, after more than 7,000 beautiful women were selected layer by layer, about 100 people were left, who received comprehensive quality training such as language and manners, and stood on the roadside to make a collective appearance, which once blocked traffic.

Of course, in addition to the stunt of selling beautiful women and the high service brought by professional training, Li Chengru also has high standards and strict requirements for products.

Market preference, professional team design and active pricing strategy make his products not only sell well in Beijing market, but also attract sellers from other parts of the country to buy special goods.

The image of windbreaker man, once popular in Japanese film and television works, is only an actor in the eyes of ordinary audiences, but it is a fleeting business opportunity in the eyes of Li Chengru, who has dual identities of entertainment and clothing industry.

He asked people to design it, supplemented by suitable fabrics, and soon produced a large number of windbreakers of the same style in film and television works, and100000 pieces were sold out in a blink of an eye.

Coincidentally, the cheongsam he designed, only one dress and one fabric, costs nearly 100 yuan, but its price is as high as that of 780 yuan, and it is still selling well.

In this way, the right market environment, coupled with the unique vision and energetic Li Chengru, his business map expanded rapidly.

By the end of 199 1, his wealth reserve in the foreign exchange warehouse was as high as130,000 USD. According to the exchange rate of US dollar against RMB 1: 5.32, the wealth of foreign warehouses alone is worth over 100 million yuan when converted into RMB.

The windfall made Li Chengru swell rapidly. How is this wealth wasted? How did Li Chengru's acting career start again?

1993, for Li Chengru, this is destined to be a year worth remembering for life. In this year, businessman Li Chengru lost all his money and his former glory. Li Chengru, an actor, returned from sailing and won thousands of praises.

Recalling that great failure, Li Chengru gave his own answer. In his view, everyone's development is highly related to their education level and past experience. If they can't stay awake all the time, they will be confused if they have money.

While others are still trying to save money to buy bicycles, Li Chengru lives in a mansion and drives a Mercedes-Benz. Beautiful clothes are changed every day. His Mercedes-Benz 560 and BMW 320 often appear on Chang 'an Avenue, and tens of thousands of dollars of suits are hung all over the wardrobe. Even the socks on your feet are hundreds of dollars a pair.

Look at the sage country at home, become frugal and break luxury. Rich family, no sense of financial management, no attitude towards frugality, just fleeting, fleeting.

1993, during the trade war between the United States and Japan, Li Chengru, as usual, invested all its wealth, gained and lost all its money.

Since then, Li Chengru has learned from this painful experience and returned to a normal life. He once joked that his socks are now 25 yuan for three pairs. This mentality also makes him shine on his favorite stage.

The first person to extend an olive branch was his old classmate Zhao Baogang.

1994 in "Addiction" directed by Zhao Baogang, Li Chengru made a guest appearance and became addicted. In order to see one of the "Four Beauties in Beijing", the theater is often crowded with people.

1995, officially starred in Zhao Baogang's Sunrise in the East, Rain in the West. 4 1 year-old, a strong return, marking the beginning of his acting career.

After that, I kept going to appointments and often made great achievements. In the sensational phenomenal TV series Six Groups of Felony, he played the role of "Zeng Keqiang" and was widely praised.

In Xiaogang Feng's films "Big Man" and "Private Order", Li Chengru's performance is also unforgettable.

He once played a mental patient with more than 300 lines. After careful consideration, he has been looking for the feeling of mental patients talking and doing things. Finally, he marveled at the performance of 1 min for 20 seconds.

In the popular variety show "Actor in Place" in recent two years, his outspoken and incisive comments impressed the audience with his professionalism and attitude.

Faced with a large number of fans among young people, Jing M.Guo, a fledgling new generation director, interrupted himself without mercy. He changed the subject and said, "You should know how to respect people at an early age", which made the audience shout loudly.

Although he finally quit the program for various reasons, Li Chengru's temperament of standing on the top of the mountain can still be seen in the performance of the program, which may be one of the reasons why he was loved by everyone.

After the ups and downs, Li Chengru finally returned to his favorite stage, which is a good story.

Li Chengru's business career, worth over 100 million yuan and beautiful as a cloud, has passed away, but the author believes that the spiritual world is richer now.

As a teenager, his mother's painstaking efforts, teacher Dong Hangbi's earnest instruction, down-to-earth efforts and clever mind all made him brilliant on the stage.

I hope he can bring you more wonderful works!
