What happened to the story of Wang Xueqi, Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxin, the "iron trio"?

The past is vaguely like a dream, brought to mind by the wind and rain. When people look back on the past, they always sigh with emotion that those good times are gone forever. But those precious and beautiful memories, although they last a long time, will never be forgotten. Today, the author takes everyone to recall the green years of the "Iron Triangle". The Iron Triangle refers to the three brothers Wang Xueqi, Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxin.

Back then, in the Kongzheng Repertory Theater, the three of them went through the period of being an unknown bit player. In that simple era, the three of them formed a deep friendship and had many ironic stories.

Let’s briefly introduce the three brothers first. In fact, netizens must be familiar with Wang Xueqi and Li Xuejian.

These two teachers are now active in the front line of film and television works, often giving audiences wonderful performances. Pu Cunxin is actually also a very powerful actor. When he was young, he played Sun Ce in the 1994 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It's just that Mr. Pu Cunxin rarely films and has been teaching and educating people in the film academy.

Among the three brothers, Wang Xueqi is the oldest, followed by Pu Cunxin and Li Xuejian the youngest.

Some netizens may suspect that Teacher Li Xuejian is the youngest. Yes, that’s it.

Pu Cunxin was born in 1953, and Li Xuejian was born in 1954. However, Pu Cunxin looks young, while Mr. Li Xuejian looks older.

Wang Xueqi also insulted Li Xuejian because of this. Although he was the youngest, he nicknamed Li Xuejian "Old Jian".

In 1977, the little soldier Pu Cunxin had just returned to Beijing. This year, the Kongzheng Repertory Theater was short of manpower and needed to recruit new members.

Pu Cunxin has had a dream of acting since he was a child, so he applied for the exam. The process went smoothly, and Pu Cunxin got into the drama troupe as he wished. In the same year, Li Xuejian was successfully admitted to the Kongzheng Repertory Theater because of his outstanding performance in the literary and art propaganda team. The two met like this. At that time, they were about the same age and spoke the same language. They quickly became familiar with each other. Wang Xueqi was almost 10 years older than the two of them, and was enlisting in the army for the second time. Wang Xueqi joined the army in 1963, and worked as a worker after he retired. But Wang Xueqi also had a small acting dream in his heart, and wanted to work in a song and dance troupe. He accidentally saw the news about the recruitment of people in the drama troupe.

Wang Xueqi thought it wouldn’t matter if he gave it a try, so he played a piece of dulcimer music and passed the exam.

When the three of them first met, Pu Cunxin and Li Xuejian were still reluctant to let go because Wang Xueqi was the eldest brother and had a long military service.

So Li Xuejian was cautious when talking to Wang Xueqi, but he did not expect that Wang Xueqi was very poor and familiar with him.

Wang Xueqi is not only easy to get along with, but also gives them nicknames. He often plays pranks and causes things that make Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxin laugh bitterly.

When the three of them first joined the drama troupe, they were just walk-ons and didn’t even have a single line. The same encounter narrowed the distance between the three people and created a deep friendship. They often discussed together how to pose this pose and how to perform that action. But Li Xuejian often ran past the scene at the beginning, while Wang Xueqi played a bad guy and was beaten to death in the opening scene. Pu Cunxin was a bit better and could show his face sometimes, but even so, the three of them together didn't even spend a minute on stage, so people were curious as to why these three brothers were so excited.

In fact, when playing small roles, some actors were discovered because of their good performance, and sometimes they could get lines. This was a luxury at the time.

So several people also worked very hard to perform well, hoping that their talents would be valued.

But something happened when Li Xuejian was showing off himself.

It was a performance. The venue was full of spectators, and there were leaders waiting to enjoy their performance.

This performance is so important, Li Xuejian naturally wanted to express himself well. When he pushed the prop cart to the stage, he originally let the audience see his hard-working side.

As a result, he used too much force and hit the prop tree. Seeing that the tree was about to fall, Li Xuejian was so frightened that he threw the car away and hugged the tree quickly.

Fortunately, the branches and leaves at the top of the tree were entangled with strings and nets. Otherwise, if the tree fell, the entire performance would not be possible. This move shocked everyone, and after such a serious accident, Li Xuejian cried when he stepped off the stage.

Li Xuejian thought that his career in the drama troupe should be over, and he was not even qualified to write an examination.

But the old regiment leader felt sorry for Li Xuejian and knew that it would not be easy for him to get through step by step, so he just gave him a lesson. But Li Xuejian was also a blessing in disguise. People did notice him, and it didn't take long for Li Xuejian to get his first line in the drama troupe.

For this reason, Wang Xueqi and Pu Cunxin even celebrated Li Xuejian well. In order to figure out the psychology of the character and say this line well, Li Xuejian got up at around 5 o'clock every morning and went downstairs to practice his lines while walking around. Pu Cunxin saw Li Xuejian exercising in the morning and insulted him. Lao Jian, what were you doing up so late at night? What bad intentions did you have? Li Xuejian also couldn't laugh or cry. Who wouldn't sleep at night? I got up this morning to practice my lines. The three of them were having troubles in private life, and they were also having troubles on stage.

When performing a play, sometimes it is necessary to change the scene. During rehearsal, every time the scene was changed and props were moved, Wang Xueqi was always behind Li Xuejian.

So Wang Xueqi spanked Li Xuejian every time, but one time Wang Xueqi spanked him wrongly.

Halfway through the performance, the scenery began to be changed. Because the curtains were not drawn, all the lights were turned off. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. All props were moved according to the marks. Wang Xueqi thought Li Xuejian was still ahead of him, so he became more naughty.

Wang Xueqi slapped the person in front of him on the buttocks, and an actress whispered, "Who slapped me?" This made Wang Xueqi tremble with fright. The props of several people were also placed in a disorderly manner. The place where the sofa should have been was placed as a coffee table. It became lively when the lights were turned on. Li Xuejian's shoes were stepped off, and the actress didn't notice and sat down on the coffee table. The audience thought it was new, what's going on, it's so exciting. Later, the actress who was spanked reported the incident to the police to find out which gangster had spanked her.

Wang Xueqi did not dare to admit it. Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxin understood and could only smile secretly.

Because Wang Xueqi likes to play pranks, this kind of thing happened. Later, when he was a guest on the show and recalled the situation, several people also laughed.

The three of them just talked, laughed, and joked, and went through this period of playing a small role together.

Later, everyone became familiar with the stories of several veteran actors. They appeared in many movies and TV series and were deeply loved by the audience.

Decades have passed now. Although the three brothers have not cooperated much, their friendship has not changed, which is really enviable.

I wonder what impressions netizens have of these three veteran actors.

Which performance among the three do you like best?
