In the entertainment industry, for a set role, there may be thousands of people vying to play it, such as the role of the dumb girl in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", not only countless young girls auditioned, but even Chen Long's wife Zhang Lingzhi, Huang Shengyi and other well-known actors have participated.
Unexpectedly, for some negative roles and unlikable types, they were rejected by many actors, after all, everyone has a heroic dream in their hearts, and no one is willing to act as a "bad guy".
So in order to be able to shoot better, when casting, the director often uses some extraordinary means and "fools" these actors into the group, but although they were reluctant at the time, they eventually became classics, and they gained a large number of fans.
So, let's take a look at these five "reluctant" actors!
Yang Chunxia
In 1982, Director Yang Jie at that time was anxious about the preparation of the 86th version of "Journey to the West", after all, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng and others at that time had already finalized the candidates, but for the very famous "White Bone Spirit" in the original work, they couldn't find a suitable candidate.
And this actor not only looks like a "monster", but also needs to show the "queen fan" who is not angry and arrogant during filming, so this is undoubtedly a huge challenge for an actor, which also leads to the delay in the current lack of actors who can enter the "eyes" of director Yang Jie.
The original article was published on Wenhui client on February 16, 2019 about the 86th version of "Journey to the West" "White Bone Spirit" Yang Chunxia refuted the rumors for the first time in 37 years: It is untrue to have a grudge with director Yang Jie because of the play! reports
Even if the famous young actor Liu Xiaoqing took the initiative to ask for Ying, but she didn't really fit it after all, if she was allowed to play a girl in the world, it would be okay to play the role of a human girl, but playing the role of "White Bone Spirit" must lack a lot of temperament, and it will also bring a bad viewing experience to the audience in the future, so Yang Jie denied it on the spot.
Just when she was at a loss for this, she suddenly thought of Yang Chunxia, who was only a one-sided friend, after all, her temperament was very good, and she could reveal a kind of self-authority in her bones, so Yang Jie came to Yang Chunxia's home and told her this idea.
But when Yang Chunxia heard this request, she refused, after all, she was a famous Peking Opera artist in Shanghai at the time, how could she play such a "bad role"? And after playing the role, he must have left a "reputation of white bone spirit" in the hearts of the audience.
However, Yang Jie did not give up, but persuaded again and again, and finally Yang Chunxia agreed, but she needed a request, that is, the request to play the king of the daughter country at the same time, seeing that this matter could be done, Yang Jie agreed to this request, but what Yang Chunxia didn't expect was that in the end she did not play the role of the king of the daughter country.
However, in this film and television drama, Yang Chunxia's performance of "White Bone Essence" is too classic, and many viewers gritted their teeth at her after watching it, and the reason why Yang Jie failed to fulfill her promise may be because she suddenly played the role of the king of her daughter country, which is definitely unacceptable to the audience.
Li Jianren
During the filming of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", Stephen Chow at that time remembered his old classmate Li Jianren, so he immediately took out his mobile phone to contact him, and asked him to accompany him to visit Beijing and climb the Great Wall.

But when he came to Beijing, Stephen Chow asked Li Jianren to help him add a scene temporarily, and also specially asked a makeup artist to paint a makeup for him, and asked him to pick his nose, I thought it was a small experience, but I didn't expect Li Jianren to see his appearance, and he could say that he "wanted to fight" Stephen Chow.
However, out of friendship between friends, Li Jianren was finally persuaded by Stephen Chow, and began to accept this "harlequin" who was very different from himself, and after the broadcast, everyone also gave Li Jianren the title of "like a flower".
And in the days that followed, in the film and television dramas filmed by Stephen Chow, such as "Jiupin Sesame Official", "Domestic Zero Zero Paint" and many other film and television dramas, Li Jianren would be invited to play the role of "Ruhua", and slowly, he became the "golden supporting role" in Hong Kong films.
Many people were "deceived" in a drama
In the filming of the TV series "Desire", it can be said that many actors involved were "deceived" by the director, such as Yang Qing, the director at that time wanted to invite her to play the role of Liu Huifang, so he told her the moving story in the script, and finally successfully moved her.

But when she returned to Beijing, she found that the crew had started filming, and it was Liu Huifang's scene that was being filmed, and the actor was not her, but Zhang Kaili, so under the persuasion of the director, Yang Qing changed from the role of Liu Huifang at that time to Xu Yuejuan.
And Wu Yuhua, who played the role of Xiao Zhuxin in the play, thought she was the heroine under the director's "flickering", after all, the first scene in the play was her at that time, and the director also promised her that there would be a lot of scenes in the future, but what she didn't expect was that her role was very few.
In order to attract the audience's attention, there is a role of Wang Yaru in the play, just to arouse everyone's hatred and make the audience feel angry with this "bad character", so in order to "fool" Huang Meiying, the director first showed her the script of the first 9 episodes, and the "bad part" in the back was only learned during the filming process.
epilogue
Although the villains are bad guys, it is precisely because of them that they can embody the value of "truth, goodness and beauty", and although they play it without knowing it, they can achieve classics, which is enough to prove their acting skills.
However, for the director, such behavior can be said to be a "white lie", and these actors who can "dedicate" themselves to art are worth learning from every actor!
