Last month, the TV series "Armageddon" was popular, in addition to Tang Guoqiang, Wang Jinsong and other old drama bones attracted much attention, Wang Ting, who played Han Xianchu, also triggered discussion again.

Since playing Ding Jian in "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2" was recognized by the audience, Wang Ting has been playing a tough guy in film and television works, as a professional anti-war professional who is very familiar with everyone, the ghosts he killed can circle the earth.
What the audience does not know is that Wang Ting's sharp eyes and resolute face on the screen, including his fierce style, all stem from his experience before entering the industry. He practiced fencing, boxing, and cops.
Actor Wang Ting
Wang Ting was born in 1972 in Guiyang, Guizhou, to parents who are engineers at the Guiyang Iron and Steel Factory. At the age of 12, his parents divorced, and Wang Ting and his sister volunteered to live with their mother. Soon after, his father was transferred to the Institute of Metal Materials of the Beijing General Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Research.
A year later, Wang Tingsheng entered the Guiyang No. 7 Middle School and was selected to study fencing at the Guiyang Sports Academy. Until 1988, Wang Ting, who had practiced fencing for three years, still did not enter the provincial team. At the suggestion of his father's friend, Wang Ting entered the Investigation Department of Jilin Public Security College as a sports special enrollment.

At the police academy, Wang Ting fell in love with boxing again. In the year of graduation, he won the 75 kg boxing championship at the 11th Jilin Provincial Games. This gold medal was not easy to come by, and the same stage with him, as well as the members of the national team, Wang Ting not only had two teeth broken, but also was knocked unconscious once. However, this gold medal also brought him the opportunity to study at Chinese Min Public Security University.
After arriving in Beijing, Wang Ting practiced Sanda again and won the 75 kg championship of the 1991 National Sanda Invitational Tournament.
In 1992, Wang Ting graduated and was assigned to the Xinhua Branch of the Haikou Municipal Public Security Bureau as a criminal police officer. Half a year later, he was awarded a third-class personal merit for his meritorious efforts in arresting criminal suspects, and was later promoted to the head of the major case team of the criminal police team.
In early January 1995, the movie "Urban Marginal People" was filmed in Haikou, and Wang Ting, who sent a friend to the set, was accidentally selected by director Jin Yanghua and made a small cameo role in the film. This aroused Wang Ting's interest.
Soon, Wang Ting was transferred to the Ministry of Public Security's Forensic Evidence Appraisal Center as an assistant researcher. In 1997, Yu Rongguang, who was associated with Wang Ting because of "Urban Marginal Man", invited Wang Ting to play the role of criminal police captain Ding Sheng in his new drama "Ping An Office". After filming, Wang Ting wanted to change his career to become an actor, but was strongly opposed by his father.
In this way, Wang Ting's film and television career dragged on for another two years.

In June 1999, Wang Ting, despite his father's threat of severing paternity, resigned and moved out of the single dormitory of the Ministry of Public Security, rented a basement near the Beijing Film Academy, and began his own pursuit of his dreams.
He contacted the film and television company and the crew every day, hoping to play a role in the play. However, for most of the year, no one paid any attention to him. In the most difficult times, he couldn't even afford to eat a box lunch.
He was bored in the room, writing a script based on his own personal experience, selling it everywhere, and repeatedly hitting a wall. Half a month later, Beijing Hairun Film and Television Production Company threw an olive branch to him, bought out the copyright of the script for 100,000 yuan, and asked him to play the role of anti-drug policeman.
Half a year later, the TV series "Poison Edge" based on Wang Ting's script was broadcast on CCTV, and Zhong Weirong, the deputy director of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", watched his performance, took the initiative to find him, and invited him to play the role of criminal police officer Ding Jian.
"Serious Case Six Group 2" Ding Jian
We all know the development of the story, whether it is the high popularity of the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series or the character setting of Ding Jian, it is destined to make Wang Ting famous in one fell swoop, not to mention, he himself was an excellent criminal policeman.
Subsequently, he played a policeman or soldier in many film and television works such as the movie "My Long March" and the TV series "Jade Crush", "Big Case Tracking", "Warrior", "Broken Arrow", "Strange Town" and so on, and gradually won the reputation of "screen tough guy".
"My Long March" was a company commander
"Warrior" Zheng Huchen
Because he experienced the most impoverished days, Wang Ting cherished everything he had now.
He jumped over rivers, fell over cliffs, walked through snowfields, crossed seas of fire... Known as the title of "Desperate Sanlang", he almost does not need a stand-in for filming. Qin Hailu, who has cooperated, once commented on him: "Wang Ting is very desperate to shoot dramas, and many times it needs to be solved with technology, and Wang Ting must insist on it." ”

It is precisely because of this that injuries are also common for Wang Ting.
Falling from a tree more than four meters high, the muscles were torn; the beating scene, multiple tears on the legs; the filming of the "Sorghum Red" explosion scene, the explosives exploded in advance, the double upper limbs were burned twice, the face was deeply burned twice; the "Border Zero" jumping car scene, the leg fracture.

However, it is precisely because of this that we have seen so many classic characters.
In November 2018, Wang Ting won the Best Actor at the 5th San Francisco International New Concept Film Festival for his rough and rustic performance style in the movie "The Hijab of Wheat", the expression of emotions in the thick and the fine, and the lines with local characteristics. Two months later, he won the Best Actor Award at the 17th Lily Awards.
"The Hijab of Wheat" is old
For Wang Ting, who has been fighting on the set for nearly 20 years since the male number eight, this is undoubtedly the greatest comfort.
Now 49 years old, Wang Ting is still starring in various war dramas and police films with extremely dangerous factors, and he said that every scar on his body is his most dazzling medal as an actor.
