Lu Shuming , who played Guan Yu in the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", died suddenly, which is sighing.
and Lu Shuming, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" crew has left 3 actors this year, the other two are " Jin Ma Chao " An Yaping and "Pang Tong" Jin Shugui .
Moving forward, "Old Zhao Yun" plays Hou Yongsheng , "Jiang Wei" plays Fan Zhiqi , "Cao Pi" plays Yang Junyong , "Liu Chan" plays Li Tie and other actors not anymore.
The waters of the Yangtze River are rolling in the east, and the waves have washed away the heroes. I miss them and remind us of the years of chasing dramas.
CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" took more than 3 years to complete 84 episodes. Once it was broadcast that year, it became popular all over the country, and the audience rating reached an astonishing 46.7%.
This is a well-made, uniquely conceived, full of strong historical and cultural atmosphere, majestic and breathtaking.
While I miss "Guan Yu" Lu Shuming, today I would like to talk with you about some behind-the-scenes stories of the 94th edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
1. The investment in financial resources, manpower and the cost of war scenes is staggering
In order to make this 84-episode historical drama well, the crew used an unprecedented scale of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Most are unprecedented. The total investment of
is actually an astonishing 170 million yuan. You know, that was more than 30 years ago. Although the investment of
is large, the actor's salary is not much. The main actor is only 225 yuan per episode, and sometimes a little subsidy is given.
But at that time, all the actors were thinking about, what money is not worth it, I was very happy to be able to join.
invested 170 million yuan, and the crew specially set up a shooting base with 100 million yuan. Then put all the remaining 70 million into shooting, and there is not a single point left in the back. There are 2
studios, built in Zhuozhou, Hebei. The area of a single shed is more than 1,200 square meters, and the two sheds together cost 40 million yuan, which is known as the largest in China at that time.
Wuxi 's "Three Kingdoms City" is 20 million, covering an area of more than 500 acres. There are dozens of large-scale scenic spots such as "Wuwang Palace, Qixingtan" and so on. Zhuozhou 's "Han City Wall, Street, Tongque Terrace" 30 million yuan.
has more than 1,000 categories of clothing, more than 30,000 sets, and costs 5 million. There are more than 70,000 pieces of props, costing 7 million yuan.
These are all hardware, and then there is "software".
alone has more than 400,000 extras. Especially when shooting " Guandu Battle ", a division's strength was used, costing about 400,000 yuan.
When shooting "Burning Chibi", there were more than 3,000 extras, 9 cameras and 1 helicopter, shooting from three directions of water, land and air at the same time.
Another 72 ships, more than 50 vehicles of firewood, and more than 20 tons of gasoline and diesel were all burned by a fire.
At that time, all the staff of the crew worked with great enthusiasm, and some even did not go home for a year or two, in order to leave a handed down classic: "We are worthy of our ancestors and the people below."
Second, Cao Cao's actor Bao Guoan quarreled with 5 production directors one by one
Don't look at the crew's investment of 170 million, but the living conditions of the actors are very difficult.
Everyone sleeps in a 4-person room, in their words, "Three years in prison and three years of hardship".
Bao Guoan, the actor of Cao Cao, lives in a 4-person room and often faces new "tenants" that are constantly changing. The strange thing about
is that every time a newcomer comes, it happens to be a newcomer who admires Bao Guoan.
made Bao Guoan so overwhelmed that he couldn't sleep peacefully and concentrate on reading the script.
Once, he was so annoyed by the harassment that Bao Guoan rushed to the production director "Theory".
Unexpectedly, the production director was just quarreling with someone, and he was very angry.
quarreled with Bao Guoan in anger, and the two forged a "liangzi" from then on.
Bao Guoan is a man with a big temper and love to get angry. In addition to arguing with the production director, he also quarrels with the chef.
The cause was a piece of beef, and the chef gave him one less piece. The reason why
is angry is actually because of the conditions of the crew, not bad, but too bad.
Because of the poor, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so that the five production directors who are in charge of thousands of "chai, rice, oil and salt" in the crew are all scolded by the "mass" organized by Bao Guoan as "the five evil people".
They also made up jingles for 3 of them, and scolded them as soon as they met. "Director Shan (referring to Shan Yusheng) is not good, Director Hao (referring to Hao Hengmin) is not good, and Director You (referring to You Shijun) is really good."
Although Bao Guoan has a big temper and is scolded, he is unambiguous in his acting.
Cao Cao's poetic temperament, arrogance, and determination to make important decisions are all portrayed by Bao Guoan with both form and spirit.
3. Sun Quan plays the subordinate of the chief director Wang Fulin, and the part-time assistant director
plays Sun Quan's Wu Xiaodong . Previously, in the 1987 version of " A Dream of Red Mansions ", he followed director Wang Fulin for 3 years in the crew.
At the same time, he also played the role of Jia Yun, a smart, gentle and handsome child of Jia's family.
and raking grass to fight rabbits, by the way, married the actor Shen Lin who played Pinger little beauty.
can be said to be director Wang Fulin's old subordinate. This time, director Wang Fulin took on the role of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
One day, director Wang Fulin was worried that Sun Quan's actor had not yet landed.
Wu Xiaodong just came in, the director glanced at him, and suddenly found that his nose was straight and towering.
So, let him put on a beard and quickly try on Sun Quan's makeup, the result is really "blue-eyed", and he and several other directors immediately decided to play Sun Quan.
not only played Sun Quan, but also played Sun Jian .
Wu Xiaodong is also a caring person. At that time, he kept his mind and specially found video equipment to record the tidbits of the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saving a lot of valuable information for the crew.
Wu Xiaodong is versatile, not only has superb acting skills, but also directed dramas and is still active in the entertainment industry.
4. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei , Cao Cao, Zhou Yu , Zhuge Liang and other starring status
After many years, the chief director Wang Fulin talked about the 7 leading actors in the play, lamenting that all of them are the sons of heaven.
selected the 7 main characters, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
set a rule at that time, he nominated him first, then Cai Xiaoqing , Zhang Shaolin , Sun Guangming, Zhang Zhongyi , Shen Haofang 5 directors, all of them had to be approved by unanimous votes.
Now, among the 7 leading actors, "Guan Yu" Lu Shuming has left early.
played Liu Bei's Sun Yanjun . He wanted to play Cao Cao at first, but the director team saw his melancholy temperament and was the best candidate for "Liu Bei".
The bones of the old drama are different. When he played Liu Bei, he cried the most, but he never used a drop of eye drops, which made many actors feel ashamed.
He performed Liu Bei's benevolence, righteousness and kindness deeply into the hearts of the people. Since then, he has been finalized and failed to get out of the frame of this role.
But he didn't mind at all, instead he was proud of it, and felt that he was very lucky to be able to play such a role in his life.
Now he has faded out of the entertainment industry, focusing on teaching and supplying talents for the film and television industry.
Li Jingfei who plays the "third brother" Zhang Fei, is very popular with the audience, and the sentence "Me too" successfully broke the circle.
Unfortunately, he was deeply afflicted by illness. He suffered three cerebral hemorrhages. When the crew gathered for the 25th anniversary, he was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by his second brother Lu Shuming to the stage.
During Li Jingfei's illness, the second brother Lu Shuming raised money for him, found a doctor, contacted the health care apartment, etc. Unfortunately, the second brother took a step ahead.
plays Zhuge Liang's Tang Guoqiang , who is undoubtedly the most familiar to everyone. In fact, the voice against him was the highest back then.
Tang Guoqiang had the title of " Cream Niche " at the beginning of his debut, and later he sought a breakthrough in transformation and participated in Xie Jin's " Garland under the Mountain", but it did not change many audiences' inherent impression of him. When
played Zhuge Liang, he was under a lot of pressure and faced the storm of being changed roles. Later, the performance became smoother and smoother. After walking around Jieting, Hanzhong , and Pingyang Wuzhangyuan , he felt that he was Zhuge Liang, and spiritually It has fit the role and has finally become a classic. After
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tang Guoqiang continued to make breakthroughs. Whether it was the "Four Masters", the cold-faced king in " Yongzheng Dynasty ", or the "teacher" in various war films, he could handle it with ease.
even praised him, and he played "Five thousand years of China up and down" by himself. Today, he still has great enthusiasm for acting, and hopes to continue to bring good roles to everyone.
Bao Guoan was also lucky to be able to play Cao Cao. At the beginning, the actors appointed by the director team played big names, saying that he never auditioned.
But the crew was never used to such people and began to look for others to audition. Bao Guoan, who taught in Chinese opera, was one of them.
In order to play Cao Cao well, Bao Guoan followed the advice of experts and asked thousands of people what they think of Cao Cao? After the interview with
, he wrote down his thoughts and experiences, and compiled them into a writing notebook.
I wonder how many of the current actors can do this, and Bao Guoan also won the Feitian and Golden Eagle Awards Double-Material View Emperor with his wonderful performance.
Later, Bao Guoan also broke the curse that was difficult for actors of the "Four Great Classics" to break through, and created a number of classic roles, such as Lin Zexu in "The Opium War", and Zhu Yuanzhang in " Big Tomorrow ", etc.
Now he is also gradually fading out of the showbiz, because he can't get used to some actors in the film and television industry who are not dedicated and play big names.
played Zhou Yu's Hong universe , and also played Yuan Shao that year.
But the audience remembers only the handsome Zhou Lang. The popularity of this role is inseparable from the actor's intentions.
Before filming starts, study the knowledge of the Three Kingdoms, study Zhou Yu, and start filmingAt that time, it becomes one with the character and completely enters the character.
is a scene that best reflects Hong Yushou's acting skills. Personally, I think it is the part of "Jiang Gan Pirated Books". The emotions are well controlled, and the expressions and movements are also perfect. It is just Zhou Yu himself. After
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hong Universe may find it difficult to break through the role of Zhou Yu, and at the same time, for the sake of long-term development, he began to work as a director and producer, and his career is also smooth.
Time flies, time flies, 28 years have passed in a flash. As soon as
recalled it, the melody of songs such as "Rolling Yangtze River to the East", "History of the Sky", " This Worship ", " Crying Zhuge " and other songs rang in my ears.
Oh my god, why did you hand him over to Qiufeng in such a hurry.
Earth, why did you rush him into your arms.
"Guan Yu" Lu Shuming, go all the way. (Written by: Xia Shuo)
