In 1981, CCTV began to prepare for the filming of "Journey to the West", and began to find people everywhere.
A young man who had completed an amateur actor training class at the Beijing Film Academy was assigned to Yang Jie. This young man is from Beijing. He learned allegro as a child and was assigned to a clothing factory in the early 1970s.
He didn't give up. In his spare time, he went to Renyi to learn acting with a drama actor, and later went to the Beijing Film Academy for further studies. Knowing that CCTV was going to film "Journey to the West", he nominated himself and prepared to play Tang Seng.
After meeting director Yang Jie, director Yang told him, yes, you will do the drama.
Yang Jie belongs to the old-school director, and the actor must be from a professional background. Ye Luzi came up, she didn't look at her. "Journey to the West" was shot for five years. There were hundreds of characters in it. This young guy didn't catch one.
is as tired as his grandson. He does the drama, and he has to worry about all the work of the crew, buying train tickets for the actors, transporting the crew materials, and looking ahead. In addition, the relationship between the cast and crew also made him upset. Add to that he couldn't stay on CCTV at that time, and no one asked him to film. He simply plunged into the sea of commerce.
This young man is called Li Chengru.
Later, there was a program that invited director Yang Jie to participate in an interview with Liu Xiaolingtong and others, but Yang Jie directly rejected it. But there was a show that invited her to an interview with Li Chengru, and she agreed without saying a word.
Before and after filming "Journey to the West", the whole crew, Li Chengru listened to her instructions most, and was able to do everything properly.

Li Chengru's acting career was hindered, but it did not affect his footsteps in the business field.
He caught up with a good time, because of the experience of working in a clothing factory, his business in the sea mainly focused on clothing and shoes. At that time, whoever has the goods on hand can make money.
Li Chengru is very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, otherwise he would not have become Yang Jie's reliance. After doing business for several years, Li Chengru decided to open a mall.
In 1991, a 2000 square meter shopping mall was grandly opened in the prime location of Xidan, Beijing. The name of the mall is quite strange, it is called "Special Special", and there is a slogan, special service, special quality, special products, which will give you special satisfaction. The owner of
is Li Chengru.
Relying on this mall, Li Chengru suddenly became a wealthy businessman with a net worth of over 100 million. He was the first person to drive a Mercedes-Benz in Beijing that year. At that time, Feng Xiao just changed his bicycle to a motorcycle. After
became rich, Li Chengru did not save money, so why not spend it if he has money? When the special business was at its best that year, the turnover was five to six hundred thousand yuan a day. Li Chengru is generous, and he tipped the waiter for $100. The clothes he wears must be tens of thousands of brand-name suits.
is not just opening a shopping mall, Li Chengru also directly engages in foreign exchange trading with people, and only has 13 million US dollars in his account. As a result, in 1993, Li Chengru had a big somersault.
It was the trade war between the United States and Japan at that time. With this one, he directly lost all his wealth. After
slowed down, Li Chengru remembered that Zhao Bao had just arrived.
When he entered the advanced education class of Beijing Film University, Zhao Baogang was a classmate with him. Later, he also appeared in three episodes of "The Story of the Editorial Department".
During his most successful years, he had never broken contact with the Beijing gang of film and television gangs. Feng Xiaogang also met at that time.
Zhao Baogang is also quite interesting.
In 1995, when filming "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", Li Chengru was given a role. The main actors of this play are Wang Zhiwen and Xu Qing. From the beginning of this play, Li Chengru truly became an actor.

Li Chengru was born in a big family and he is the ninth in his family. His father died when he was two years old.
At that time, his family was extremely poor. Seeing catkins all over the sky, Li Chengru's first reaction was that Liu Ya could not be eaten.
later waited for work, he fell in love with acting again, often went to the arts and theaters, also worshipped a master, studied for ten years, and then resumed the college entrance examination, he was too old, so he enrolled in a training class. It is a dream of learning acting.
turned out to be no one looking for him to make a movie later, thanks to Zhao Baogang from their class. After losing business, Li Chengru went to his old classmate Zhao Baogang and stepped into the show business.. The scene where
made him popular was not given to him by Zhao Baogang, but in "The Sixth Group of Serious Cases".
Li Chengru is really lucky. When
was in business, he caught up with the beginning of the change. When he was an actor, he caught up with the hottest period of criminal investigation dramas, when he was in middle age. It just fits the role of Da Zeng in the TV series.
With the broadcast of this TV series, Li Chengru can be regarded as a little red. Many people on the street saw his face, and the first word to greet him was to call him Da Zeng.
and "Six Groups of Serious Cases" has become one of the most classic criminal investigation dramas in the history of Chinese TV dramas.
When Li Chengru returned to the showbiz, Feng Xiaogang had already begun to make a splash. In the beginning, he tied the pot with Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo produced the script, and he became the director.
Within a few years, Wang Shuo began to recite. The two of them made up a book called "Living in an Unbearable Life". All the investment in the materials and actors were collected. As a result, the above requested that the scene was not allowed to be filmed. Feng Xiaogang was anxious and got alopecia areata overnight. Later, Wang Shuo traveled to the United States and told Feng Xiaogang that you had a good mix.
Wang Shuo walked on his feet, and Feng Xiaogang was transferred. I received a phone call from Han Sanping. On the other end of the phone, he asked if he could make a mainland commercial film by the end of the year. Feng Xiaogang went home without saying anything, and got a script called "The Hot Heart", which was soon made into a movie. The movie
was later renamed "Party A and Party B", Ge You said "1997 has passed, I miss it very much".
With this movie, Feng Xiaogang became the first commercial film director in the mainland, and by making commercial films, he quickly became the richest director in the mainland.
Two people who came from wild roads and went to the show business circle later met in the movie "Big Name".

Li Chengru's participation in Feng Xiaogang's "Big Name" is completely coincidental.
At that time, he filmed "Six Groups of Serious Cases" and gained fame. Later, he was asked to play many police roles in TV dramas. It was Feng Xiaogang who called him and said, I have a movie character here, you come to have a play.
Li Chengru didn't even ask what role he played, so he went straight away.
came to the set to realize that he was going to be a lunatic. The crew gave him a piece of A4 paper full of lines, and then said that the filming would start in 20 minutes and it would be enough to get one.
Li Chengru memorized it for twenty minutes, and discussed with Feng Xiaogang before the filming, the supporting actor who played the scene with me, after a few words at the beginning, he walked away, and the rest I came.
Li Chengru plays a crazy real estate agent, talking to himself as he walks, what kind of house can be sold, how to support it, and what price to sell. In the end, it is not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive. The
scene is one minute and nineteen seconds, with a total of 328 words in total, which shaped his unsurpassed classic role in his acting career. More than ten years later, the development of China's real estate industry has formed a magical connection with this self-talking psychopath. The role of Li Chengru has become more classic.
The supporting actor who was sent aside by him was Zhang Hanyu.
But at that time Li Chengru didn't remember the name at all. Once the scene was filmed, the whole crew was silent for a while, and then some people began to applaud. Feng Xiaogang stepped forward and hugged Li Chengru and said, you are done.
Li Chengru didn't know what it meant to be, but he remembered that he seemed to be out of his body, and his hands were shaking when he was smoking.
"Big Name" has passed 18 years, but the character created by Li Chengru has not faded so far. Does anyone remember that Ge You and Guan Zhilin are actually the protagonists of this movie?

After the filming of "Big Name", Li Chengru once chatted in Feng Xiaogang's studio.
After the chat, the two went to eat supper together, Feng Dao drove his Mercedes, pulling Li Chengru. The two were chatting, and Director Feng asked a word, you used to drive a Mercedes-Benz 600, and now you drive an American Broken Ford, is there any gap in your heart?
When the two met ten years ago, Feng Dao drove a motorcycle. Ten years later, the two changed positions.
Li Chengru didn't say anything.
In 2005, Li Chengru was heavily involved in business and opened a restaurant in Beijing. In the end, he lost 6 million yuan. Since then,
has completely cut off the idea of doing business.
Later, Li Chengru and Feng Xiaogang collaborated in "Private Customization". Li Chengru played the role of the director, lived in a luxury mansion and drove a luxury car, butHowever, I felt that I was intolerable, and I was anxious to be elegant.
To be honest, in this bad movie, Li Chengru's passage is a bit interesting.
After 2016, Li Chengru also stopped filming. Some people commented on his life and felt that it was similar to the name of a TV series he had played. If
really wants to describe it, I think it should be a stubborn master.
has been in a turbulent life, feasting in tall buildings, living in mud, losing hundreds of millions of fortunes in the 1990s, and being an actor has a classic role.
Take a closer look at this person called Da Zeng by the audience. He may have never been down. When he was brilliant in the 1990s, besides splurge, he also bought a lot of antiques. Although he is no longer filming, he is in the antique shop. , Was stamped by Ma Weidu.
He has a quadrangle courtyard next to the Forbidden City. How big the courtyard is, he said, there are five hundred cherry trees in the courtyard.
