Li Jiacun was not fat at all when he was a child. He played football, table tennis, skipping rope, and parallel bars with great enthusiasm. He also tried heavyweight competitive sports-wrestling and weightlifting at a young age. Early on The capital of revolution was laid. At that time, there were several great wrestling figures in Tianqiao. What Li Jiacun said, heard in his ears, and gestured with his hands when he was a child were all related to wrestling. On Sunday, I followed a group of people to the overpass to practice. Wrestling requires not only skill but also strength. After that, Li Jiacun continued to like weightlifting. In 1983, the film studio produced a TV series called "Zhen San". Li Jiacun was the selected extra and played a wrestler in the drama.
At that time, although Li Jiacun was an extra, he was very dedicated when filming, and he threw hard and really. With the solid foundation he gained in Tianqiao, Li Jiacun's throwing technique and seriousness completely caught up with the popular martial arts instructors nowadays. Although young Li Jiacun lost a great opportunity to join the national wrestling team, his work and body benefited a lot from it.
When Li Jiacun was a child, there were always people from the theater troupe coming and going at home. Influenced by his Liyuan family background, he liked to sing twice since he was a child. Even with the oil paint and his voice, he was still a role that was applauded by everyone. Compared with singing, Li Jiacun has wanted to do a career that can reward his mouth since he was a child. He believes that chef is the most ideal career choice. Li Jiacun has been learning cooking since he was a teenager. He has learned all kinds of cooking, cooking and baking. Relying on his deep friendship with food culture, Li Jiacun became a famous chef and made his first pot of gold in life. Later, I played the role of the national chef in "Cixi's Journey West", which was completely the true performance of a chef's life.
Li Jiacun is very similar to the Maitreya in the Buddha's story, and there is a kind of magnanimity and freedom in his smile from time to time. Li Jiacun on the screen is honest, kind, humorous and very popular. Therefore, we also thought that Li Jiacun was like this in real life. However, when our reporter met Li Jiacun on the crew of CCTV's "Spring Festival Gala", he unexpectedly felt the huge contrast between Li Jiacun's on-screen and off-screen performances.
Sitting in front of reporters, Li Jiacun felt so introverted that it was difficult to connect him with the carefree and honest "uncle next door" on the screen.
But Li Jiacun is such a person with a "dual personality". Although he comes across as an introvert, he is not ambiguous at all when acting. He acts exactly as he should. Painting, folk art, sketches, dramas, movies and TV shows. For an "all-around" star like Li Jiacun, the role of reading in his road to success is, in his own words, "too important."
Speaking of reading, we have to mention the "Three Bu Zhai" in Li Jiacun's family. "Sanbuzhai" is the name of his study room. For this name, he explained that it means "not impatient, dissatisfied, and not slick." This is not only the principle of his life, but also his true portrayal.
Li Jiacun reminds himself to keep learning every day. In fact, before that well-known advertisement, Li Jiacun was already very successful in painting, cross talk, acting, etc., but this advertisement made more people know him and remember him. When the introverted Li Jiachun talked about this topic, he just said lightly: "This is just one of my several works, but this work makes people remember me. It's all step by step, all of this is very important." Naturally."
It was a coincidence that Li Jiacun became the image ambassador of "Blue Sky" toothpaste. The director who was working on the film at the time was a friend of his. He accidentally mentioned that there were too few commercials with Chinese characteristics, so he asked Li Jiacun if he could give it a try. As a result, he felt that it would be a good fit after the audition, so it was decided.
Speaking of the scene at that time, Li Jiacun felt that Tianjin Toothpaste Factory took a certain risk by choosing him. At that time, when advertising products, celebrities were often considered. Whether his image could be noticed and accepted by the public was still a question mark. After the advertisement came out and was broadcast on CCTV, there was almost no response for the first month and a half, and it was silent. At that time, the efficiency of Tianjin Toothpaste Factory was not very good. When Li Jiacun was hired, the employees were unsure. This made everyone even more worried. Unexpectedly, two months later, orders came to Tianjin Toothpaste Factory like snowflakes. Li Jiacun succeeded, and the Tianjin Toothpaste Factory quickly stood up.
Since being remembered by the people, Li Jiacun has often been recognized on the street. He once told a very interesting story.
When he lived on Yuquan Road, an old lady in her 60s stopped him on the street and said to him: "Brother, you are honest at first glance, so I can trust your product promotion, that toothpaste?" , I use it all the time!”
“Good teeth, good appetite, good health, delicious food”, this short advertisement made the audience across the country firmly remember this look. Li Jiacun is a simple, kind and humorous person. To be precise, cross talk should be Li Jiacun's major, but he seems to be more professional in painting and collecting.
Looking at the photos of the characters on the page, readers will definitely recognize that he is the laughing star Li Jiacun. It’s Chinese New Year, and inviting such a “big baby” to our column immediately adds a festive atmosphere to the page. However, coming to our page as a guest is not to introduce his folk art, but his other two specialties - collection and painting. On the screen, Li Jiacun is honest, kind, humorous, and very popular; in real life, Li Jiacun does whatever he wants. Despite his rough appearance, he is a careful person in life, and even the decorations at home are all made by him.
On a business trip to Beijing, the reporter walked into Li Jiacun's two-story residence under the guidance of a friend. The interior setting is not luxurious, but it has a strong cultural atmosphere. The display cabinets in the living room are filled with large and small purple clay pots and gadgets. After a rough count, there are hundreds of purple clay pots alone. Li Jiacun said that he likes to keep pots the most. Every time he gets a new pot, he takes care of it carefully and then stores it in the cabinet. Those gadgets are what the couple cannot part with. They have been with them for more than 20 years and are almost antiques.
Li Jiacun likes Chinese painting. He doesn’t have to eat or play, but he can’t live without calligraphy and painting at home. Therefore, every room in his house hangs one or two famous calligraphy and paintings.
In addition to liking calligraphy and painting, Li Jiacun also likes to collect "cows". His home is filled with all kinds of "cows". Every time he goes out to film, no matter how far away, he will bring back any cow-related crafts he sees. The name of his studio is also called Cow Worship Hall. "I like the character of Niu. Maybe it is similar to my own character. He is an honest person, does honest things, and is a bit in love with his family." Li Jiacun has been passionate about calligraphy and painting since he was a child. At the age of 46, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study traditional Chinese painting. He has a study called "Sanbuzhai", which means "not impatient, dissatisfied and not slick". There are many people in the entertainment industry who are interested in calligraphy and painting. For example, Lan Tianye and Zhang Jinling are good at painting flowers and birds. Yu Junjian and Tang Guoqiang love calligraphy. However, there are not many people like Li Jiacun who are so obsessed with painting that they go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study painting at their own expense. Speaking of his schooling experience a few years ago, Li Jiacun was both proud and nostalgic: "That was in 2001. I suddenly thought, since I like painting, why not go to school seriously. People who came from our era Because I don’t have the opportunity to receive formal education, I actually want to go to school crazy. I am somewhat famous, and I am really busy. It is very difficult to spare a lot of time. My wife encouraged me and said, you are almost 50. It’s time to fight for it.” Finally, he mustered up the courage to sign up and get his student ID card. There were more than 20 people in the class, and Li Jiacun became the “big brother” without hesitation. Arranged by his teacher to sit in the front row, he became a sight in the class. "As old as I am, sitting there with a bald head often makes people laugh. The most ridiculous thing is that when I entered the school gate, the security guard stopped me and said, Teacher Li, who are you looking for? I said I didn't want to look for anyone and I came to school. There was no one. Letter until you show your student ID card.”
In fact, as early as the 1970s, Li Jiacun studied painting under the famous Chinese painter Mr. Kang Ning. Within one year at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he received systematic theoretical influence from Zhao Ning'an, Guo Yicong, Guo Shifu, and Zhang Lichen. When a reporter asked him whether his teachers would go easy on him because he was a celebrity, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I am often criticized, but the teachers are very well-educated and criticize people in a very different way." Euphemism." One year of study has played an important role in his painting. In addition to being recognized by famous artists, Li Jiacun's paintings have also become the collection targets of many people in the market. At an auction in Lanzhou, his 4-foot-long "Da Ling Tu" was sold for 28,000 yuan.
Li Jiacun has a clear understanding of his own paintings. He said sincerely: "My favorite Chinese painters are Li Kuchan, Wang Xuetao, and Kang Ning. They are all masters who have reached their peak. I can't compare with them. Although I feel that my paintings are somewhat interesting, there is still a long way to go."
How do I understand the art of painting? Maybe it’s a matter of opinion, but I think it’s about expressing feelings and freehand. The reason why I’m obsessed with Chinese painting is because I think it’s the essence left by our ancestors. ”
