In the Hong Kong showbiz circle, there are many supporting roles with outstanding acting skills that support half the sky of Hong Kong movies.
There is such an actor, he was unknown for 32 years before he finally came to fruition, and his life was extremely inspiring.
He is the actor Jiang Haowen.
He has been debuting for more than 30 years, collaborating with almost all of Hong Kong's biggest stars, and has participated in the filming of nearly 50 movies and more than 70 TV series.
This powerful actor, who was called "Black Boy", became a veritable "labor model" in the show business circle.
There are even rumors that "without Jiang Haowen, there will be no drama." ”
Behind everyone's success is an unknown and difficult past, and the same is true of Jiang Haowen.
It is also these painful and struggling experiences that have finally tempered into today's Jiang Haowen.
"I may have experienced more than other people, and I have experienced so much that I can put it in every play."
In 1966, Jiang Haowen was born in Hong Kong, his original name was Jiang Hanwen.
Jiang Haowen's life is very tragic, in other words, his life is not good.
His father had abandoned his mother before he was born, so he had never seen his biological father.
Later, his mother remarried with his young man, and he was unable to live a good life.
The mother was ill, and the adoptive father was busy every day, basically ignoring them.
At the age of 14, after his mother died of illness, Jiang Haowen, who had no one to rely on, had to go to a different orphanage with his younger siblings.
Such a childhood experience also makes Jiang Haowen's personality lonely and stubborn.
"My childhood was very complicated, when I was a child, there was no concept of family, it was scattered, and several brothers and sisters were completely separated to live in different children's homes. Since I was a child, I have developed quirks, I am very lonely, I don't like to talk to people, I don't like to express myself, it is difficult to communicate with people, and it is the same until now. ”
In order to survive, Jiang Haowen, who is only 14 years old, embarked on a hard life of working and earning money.
He has sold snacks in hotels, done decorations, performed acrobatics, sold art on the street, and so on.
At that time, he had only one belief in his heart, that is, to survive strongly.
And his entry into the entertainment industry is something he has never thought of, and it is completely a mistake.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Jiang Haowen began to run dragon sets to make money, and at that time he had no interest in acting.
Running crew for 30 yuan a day, 8 yuan for saying a word of dialogue, 59 yuan for filming, 35 yuan for TV series.
Later, after a long time, Jiang Haowen felt that filming could make money and be very interesting, so he gradually became interested in acting.
In 1985, Jiang Haowen starred in his first film, running a dragon set in the movie "The Working Emperor".
A year later, Jiang Haowen ushered in a turning point in his life.
In 1986, he signed up for the first "Mr. TV" draft held by ATV, but unexpectedly won the runner-up in one fell swoop.
In this way, Jiang Haowen mistakenly signed a contract with ATV and became a TV station artist.
That year, Jiang Haowen was 20 years old, which was an official debut.
However, Jiang Haowen, who just debuted, did not directly gain fame and fortune, but has always been obscure and suffering.
He started out as a tv presenter, often hosting exaggerated and funny shows.
After years of playing in variety shows, Jiang Haowen can also be regarded as a familiar face in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but he has been lonely and nameless.
"I just don't know what I'm doing, or what I've done."
In the early years, because he ran the dragon set in many film and television dramas, Jiang Haowen always had a dream of being an actor in his heart.
Therefore, in addition to hosting variety shows, Jiang Haowen has not stopped filming.
For example, he has participated in "True Heart Hero", "Three Heroes of the East", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang"..... But it's just a few small supporting roles.
In 1998, Jiang Haowen starred in the TV series "I Have a Date with Zombies", playing a supporting role gao bao.
Since then, he has shot nearly 50 or 60 film and television dramas at ATV, and has been conscientious and self-kept to himself.
Later, WHENV had a financial crisis, and it rarely made film and television dramas.
But jiang Haowen, who is very affectionate and righteous, did not leave ATV, which also made his life embarrassing.
At the most difficult time, Jiang Haowen could not even pay the rent, and was finally driven out by the landlord.
It was not until 2002, under the promotion of Wang Jing, that Jiang Haowen decided to completely transform into the film industry and start everything again.
"My transformation is very muddy, but it is very natural. At that time, I was still doing ATV, Jing Ge had already asked me to come out to make movies, and I had been stepping on both sides of the film and television. Later, when the filming was officially fully completed, it was only because ATV had nothing to do and the film announcements slowly increased, that I naturally went to make a movie. ”
That year, Jiang Haowen was 36 years old, still unknown in the show business circle, and was also known as the "Green Leaf King".
In the days since, Jiang Haowen has been running dragon sets in movies, playing supporting roles, and persevering.
With years of tempering and superb acting skills, Jiang Haowen did not gradually emerge until 2008.
That year, he played the role of Zhang Ridong in the movie "Witness", with few scenes but very eye-catching.
With this small role, Jiang Haowen finally has a chance to shine in the film circle.
In 2012, Jiang Haowen was nominated for best supporting actor at the 12th Chinese Film and Media Awards for "Death Gold".
This is the first time he has been nominated since his debut, which has brought him great confidence and his life has begun.
After that, he met Andy Lau and Gu Tianle again, and his acting career began to climb to the peak.
He later starred in films such as "Blind Detective", "The Storm", "Macau Storm 3" and so on, and began to shine, and also became a "labor model" in the show business circle.
When he was at his best, he made a total of 26 movies in two or three years.
According to incomplete statistics, from 1985 to 2017, in the 32 years, Jiang Haowen shot nearly 50 movies and more than 70 TV series.
Such dedication and desperation, looking at the entire showbiz circle, it is difficult to find a second person.
Over the years, he became a "desperate sanlang", and finally did not pay in vain, and became famous in the future.
In 2017, Jiang Haowen starred in the most important movie in his life, "Bomb Disposal Expert", playing the role of Jiang Yaowei.
With this role, Jiang Haowen's gold finally shone brightly and ushered in the highlight moment of life.
In 2018, Jiang Haowen won the Best Supporting Actor at the 37th Academy Awards with the movie "Bomb Disposal Expert".
When the award guest read out his name, Jiang Haowenqiang suppressed tears of excitement and hugged his wife first, and then embraced his benefactor Wang Jing.
At the moment of taking the stage, Jiang Haowen was already in tears, and immediately there was a round of applause from the audience, saluting him.
That year, Jiang Haowen was 52 years old.
He debuted for 32 years, which is finally out of the head, which can be called a late success.
And this hard-won award, he spent more than 30 years, shooting hundreds of plays in exchange, it is deserved.
On the road of acting after this, Jiang Haowen, who opened the drama road, still adhered to his original intention and moved forward silently.
And for the late completion of the big instrument, he said: "If there is no achievement for people to see, you will not get it for decades, so it is not a late success of the big instrument." ”
In addition to sticking to his original intention in his acting career, Jiang Haowen is even more unswerving in his marriage and has become a good man.
We often say that behind a successful man, there must be a woman who pays silently.
And the woman behind Jiang Haowen is his wife Jin Huiying.
The two have known each other for a long time, and his wife, Jin Huiying, was a former female artist of ATV and once became one of the flowers that were praised.
In 1994, the two began to fall in love and live together.
In 1999, after 5 years in love with Jiang Haowen, Jin Huiying left ATV and turned around to marry Jiang Haowen.
That year, Jiang Haowen was 33 years old and Jin Huiying was 30 years old.
After this, Jin Huiying became the most important woman behind Jiang Haowen, accompanying him all the way to grow up and not abandoning.
Even in the darkest time of Jiang Haowen's life, Jin Huiying has been silently staying by his side and sharing happiness and suffering with him.
And Jiang Haowen did not live up to Jin Huiying's true feelings and expectations, did not pass on any gossip after marriage, and has been desperately filming.
On the day that Jiang Haowen won the Academy Award, the couple hugged and cried, touching countless audiences.
In 2017, Jiang Haowen took advantage of Kim Hye-young's birthday and wedding anniversary to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a mansion in Malaysia as a gift for his wife.
Now the two have been married for 21 years, although they have no children, but their happy life has become a recognized loving couple in the entertainment industry.
Guarding the clouds to see the moon, Jiang Haowen, who is now 54 years old, has become a shadow emperor and a good man in the hearts of many people, jumping and flying.
After more than 30 years of floating in the show business circle, Jiang Haowen said with emotion that persistence is the only secret of his success.
"Young people, try hard not to pay attention to other people, do a good job of yourself can insist, the most important insist that you do not give up, queue, one day will be yours." 」
