This man is Li Chengru. He used to live near the Forbidden City, but later he moved to the vicinity of the Ming Tombs because it was inconvenient to shoot. He planted 500 cherry trees in his small yard, and his room collected nearly 200 gold nanmu ornaments, as well as cultural relics and antiques of unimaginable value.
Li Chengru is a hidden millionaire in the entertainment circle, but since he became popular again, he is no longer hidden.
He has been in a semi-retirement state, and probably never thought that he was sent to hot search again and again with three idioms.
Li Chengru's life can be described as brilliant. When he was down and out, he grabbed bean cakes from the donkey. I want to be an actor, but I made a record for the crew of Journey to the West, three in and three out; I went into business and made a lot of money in just a few years. My foreign exchange account is130,000 USD.
What kind of person is he?
0 1, one of the six elders of Journey to the West.
Director Yang Jie said: "Everyone has grievances, but Li Chengru has too many grievances."
Thirty-eight years ago, 27-year-old Li Chengru went to director Yang Jie with his dream of becoming an actor. He wanted to play the Tang Priest, but by mistake he became the director's right-hand man and the diary of Journey to the West.
In five years, 1,800 days and nights, the The Journey to the West crew searched hundreds of locations and completed countless seemingly impossible tasks, all of which were won by Li Chengru, the "Monkey King" behind the scenes.
He "recruited horses" all the way from Beijing to Xilin Gol, just to choose a suitable white horse, not only to catch up with the progress of the crew, but also to learn to raise horses, and to find two masters who specialize in raising horses.
Once, the crew went to Zhangjiajie to shoot "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon" and encountered a landslide on the way. The director resolutely refused to change the shooting location, so Li Chengru went up the mountain to explore the road overnight, and the director waited for his call. If Li Chengru can go there, so can they. The next morning, Li Chengru appeared in front of the director with a dozen porters.
Director Yang said: I don't know what path he drilled, but it can be solved.
But even such a "well-connected" assistant has some hard-to-face dissatisfaction. In five years, he worked hard and served the whole crew, but in the end he was fired twice by the director.
Where there are many people, there are many right and wrong, which has nothing to do with gender, but with human nature.
Li Chengru, a reporter, was in charge of everything from scene selection to casting to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the conditions were not good at that time and could not meet everyone's requirements.
Gave a berth ticket, B was unhappy and offended. Over time, these little things have accumulated into great things. The staff whispered in the director's ear all day, and the pressure could not be suppressed. They had to expel Li Chengru several times to calm public opinion.
When he left the crew, Director Yang kept looking at his back. Although there are countless disappointments in my heart, I am helpless.
Many years later, when they met again, Li Chengru only remembered the director's kindness to him. He ate jiaozi, and the director only ate half of it, leaving the rest to Li Chengru, just to make him full.
His mother's death was unacceptable for some time. The director silently supported him, lent him a press card and a letter of introduction, and asked someone to take him to the airport and let him go home as soon as possible.
Some people will hold grudges for a little thing all their lives, but some people will only remember the good of others. This is Li Chengru, an honest man.
Li Chengru Dong Yong, 2 1 year teacher-student relationship.
From 65438 to 0998, Li Chengru met with the crew of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in Yong Dong, in which Yong Dong, who graduated from the Central Academy of Traditional Chinese Opera, played the role of soy sauce. In a chat, Li Chengru found that he and Dong Yong really had a lot of fate.
Li Hongchun, the master of Li Chengru's brother, is the father of Li Yusheng and the master of Yong Dong. With this connection, the relationship between them has become closer and closer.
At that time, preparations were being made for "Six Groups of Major Crimes". Li Chengru told Yong Dong that there was a role in the TV series that was very suitable for him, and asked him if he would like to go to Beijing with him, and the round-trip expenses would be paid by himself. Without further ado, Yong Dong followed Li Chengru. This changed his life.
At that time, there were three candidates for the director, but Li Chengru introduced Dong Yong to the director again and again, hoping that he could play the role well, and finally the director gave the role to Dong Yong.
After shooting six groups of major crimes in 2000, Dong Yong took over a series of works such as Black Hole and Plum Blossom Archives.
He said: Without Li Chengru, there would be no Yong Dong today.
Li Chengru's sincerity moved Yong Dong and Liu Hua. If the director group of Qianmen Jiuyuan didn't need Liu Hua, he wouldn't have signed this contract.
Li Chengru said that he has helped hundreds of actors, and he knows how painful it is to struggle at the bottom, so as long as he has the ability to help, he will definitely help.
Li Dahai: It's hard for me to say the word dad.
Li Chengru was married twice, but he only had one son. He loves this son very much, but there are also deep contradictions between him and his son.
He once publicly said that his son was "moaning without illness", "talking nonsense" and "putting on airs".
Before their son was 7 years old, they were a happy family of three, but with the divorce of their parents, the distance between Li Chengru and his son became farther and farther. When Li Chengru became a well-known monopoly, his son and mother crowded into a rental house of 18 square meters. His son wanted to borrow money to buy a house, but he refused mercilessly.
Li Dahai opened a recording studio, but he lacked a piano. It happened that his father had an idle piano at home. He tried to take away his father's piano, but his father lost his temper.
Li Chengru bought this piano for his second wife. Li Chengru told his son that nothing in this room belongs to you. You shouldn't have such an idea. They quarreled at the dinner table, and he just sent his son away.
Li Chengru's love for his son is "cruel". He wants his son to be strong, brave, hard-working and masculine like him. He thinks his son is too introverted and too weak. But he didn't realize that times were different, and the past he experienced was difficult to copy. The biggest reason why his son is so weak is him.
Now the relationship between the two people has been greatly eased. I don't know if Li Chengru is old and knows how to protect calves. He also began to use his own resources to help Li Dahai. Occasionally, he is duplicitous, but he will quietly prepare 6.5438+0 million yuan to buy a car for his son.
When he grew up, Li Dahai gradually understood his father's painstaking efforts. His father is not so unkind, just because he suffered too much when he was a child, so he thinks that only suffering can be like him.
Seeing this, you may wonder why Li Chengru is so kind to his friends and so "heartless" to his children. What kind of growing experience made him become such a character?
Li Chengru grabbing food from the donkey.
Li Chengru, born in 1954, might have experienced the rich life in the old society if he had been born a few years earlier. Their Lao Li family was also a noble family in Dongcheng. His father can buy a cricket jar for two dollars, and a bag of foreign noodles for two dollars in those years.
Unfortunately, Li Chengru ranks 1 1 in their family. When he was born, his family declined. When he was two years old, his father died, leaving them with a room full of books, paintings and Wan Wen.
In order to take care of several starving children, mother carried a railway sleeper weighing 1200 Jin and smashed a coin-thick spike. In the end, her hands were covered with scars, so they still ate the last meal without the next one.
Li Chengru said: There are no wild vegetables he hasn't eaten in Beijing. He was so hungry that he ran to grab bean cakes from the donkey.
Although it was difficult, Li Chengru's mother sent them to learn Peking Opera, and so did the oldest child. When they learn, they teach other children to sing together. One room and a half kang, bitter days come day by day.
The great image of his mother has a great influence on Li Chengru's future life, marriage and education. He has a strong "Oedipus complex", which is also an important factor in his inability to maintain a good marriage relationship and parent-child relationship.
German family therapist Heilinger said: In early childhood, boys were mainly influenced by their mothers. If he can't break through this influence, his mother's influence will flood his body and mind, and he can't grow into a man who cherishes women and keeps a long-term partnership, a good father and an equal relationship between men and women.
From Billionaires to Families
When he grew up, Li Chengru, with his own courage, worshipped Golden Rooster actor Dong Hangji as a teacher and studied hard. He began to practice calligraphy, acting and lines for ten years, laying a solid foundation for his future comeback.
He was admitted to the Northern Film Amateur Performance Class and became classmates with Zhao Baogang, Zhang Guangbei and Li Qinqin. Later, I went to CCTV for an internship and became a recorder of the The Journey to the West crew. In those five years, he not only learned to deal with people, but also learned super organizational skills and artistic appreciation.
Facts have proved that these precious wealth have come back again and again. After leaving the cast, Li Chengru became a profiteer. He opened a 1000 square meter shopping mall in Xidan, which is full of land. He hired a beautiful woman to show off clothes on stage, with a daily turnover of 500,000-600,000.
Wealth accumulated very quickly, and he also opened hotels, saunas and other industries. As soon as Mercedes-Benz 560 went on the market, he was already driving it around. He didn't wear a suit under 1000 dollars, and socks under 1000 dollars. The tip was 1000 dollars. The villain suddenly became rich, and he was really a dude in the old society.
199 1 year, Li Chengru's foreign exchange account had130,000 dollars, and he also started the next round of wealth accumulation, holding a mobile phone and watching the foreign exchange market, and became a proper financial giant.
Unfortunately, this crocodile 1993 lost to Maicheng and became poor overnight. He said: sitting in front of the machine, from the back of the neck to the tailbone, a chill came over my face, and then I began to lose a lot of hair. In just a few months, he became what he is now.
Later, everyone became familiar with it. I shine brilliantly and return to film and television. Once again, make a comeback and become an old play bone. I sat on the judge's bench and scolded the little fresh meat.
Find a wife according to the mother's prototype
Li Chengru has been married twice in her life. Li Chengru's first wife was Li Dahai's mother, and they met in 1984. At that time, Li Chengru was still a young man who set up a stall in the vegetable market and lacked everything. They divorced eight years later, and it is not in their character to go public.
Li Chengru's love for his second wife was profound and intense, and even after the divorce, all the words remained.
Shi is a famous Peking Opera actor in Shanghai. She is 18 years older than Li Chengru. After marriage, Shi stayed in Shanghai to develop his own career, while living alone in Beijing. The old man in Beijing can't resist coquetry when he meets the little darling in Shanghai.
Li Chengru thinks what he wants is simple. He wants a warm home, a capable wife like his mother, a career outside, and comfortable services for her husband and children after returning home.
But in fact, Li Chengru unconsciously confused marriage and parent-child relationship. When we fall in love, we will become children. Therefore, there is a model of ideal parents hidden in our hearts, which is the cornerstone of our choice of lovers.
"Unconsciously, we all regard love as treatment, hoping that lovers can play the role of ideal parents and cure us"-"Why does home hurt people"
Now Li Chengru is 66 years old and has no plans to get married. He has begun to live a quiet and stable life, planting fresh vegetables in his small yard, carefully cultivating his cherry trees, and occasionally inviting friends in his circle to get some authentic old Beijing together, eating, drinking and having fun.
No matter how fierce the controversy about him on the internet is, he is unmoved. Everything is a big dream, and life is cold several times.
An out-and-out Beijinger has experienced unimaginable hardships and seen the prosperity that ordinary people have never seen before. When his desires fade like a flood, what remains is his nature.
An old man with a poor mouth and a warm heart, an artist who is respectful and strict with art, a father who is sincere to others but cruel to his son, a husband who has let go because of love, and an indomitable man.
