There is a thing that it does not fall from the sky, nor is it the surrender of others, it needs to be picked up in their own life experience, it can help the world open the upward channel, there are many answers, everyone has their own answers, in my opinion, such a thing may be ambitious, brave, decisive, hardworking, etc., the protagonists of the story to be written today seem to have these labels, they use perseverance, tenacity, calmness, and indomitable posture to write life answers.
After watching the "Chinese Restaurant" documentary narrated by actor Wu Gang, whether it is the narrator himself, the owner of the restaurant in each episode of the documentary, or the overseas people who have intersected with the restaurant business, their stories have made waves in my heart, and I have the idea of using words to record this psychological journey.
Be yourself and recognize that it is someone else's business.
First of all, the narrator of the film Wu Gang, this actor who is often active in the drama stage is involved in a wide range of performance fields: radio dramas, sketches, movies, television, it is rumored that his wife recommended him to the crew to play the role of "Secretary Dakang", because of his participation in "The Name of the People" and is well known to the public, from the public awareness, he belongs to the late stage actor, but from his personal point of view, the acting skills have always been online, almost participated in the well-known dramas of human art, acting has been attentive, movies and TV series have been invited.
Now cross-border to participate in the production of documentaries, can be called a business generalist, this documentary premiered in November last year, Wu Gang's calm character has been verified, not hurried, step by step at his own pace.
In the entertainment industry, where there is heat, take advantage of the heat to be active in various programs, such people are big.
Wu Gang did not overdraw his talent and energy, and has a clear determination of fame and fortune, so it is not difficult to understand that at the age of 47, with the role of Wang Jinxi in the movie "Iron Man", he won the "Best Actor" award at the 27th Golden Rooster Awards.
His acceptance speech: "I know my acting skills are OK, and I have confidence in myself. But I didn't expect to win the prize, the award was an accident, but there was no upset. ”
This kind of self-recognition from the heart will not have that trepidation at the moment of accepting honor, and one day the hall of honor will have my seat, but I am not looking forward to this day!
Standing proudly in other places
