Wang Yaoqing, who has played many elite men's roles, may fit his childhood dream - to be a profiteer.
Later, I learned that the "overbearing president" was a misunderstanding.
Wang Yaoqing acted in a serious way, he also acted in stage plays for 6 years, far from mass entertainment and attention, cold and clear, he was determined, relying on solid acting skills and constant inner determination, playing a stubborn soul.
He once said that acting is his life.
Perhaps the release of self on variety shows is his self-decompression, and Wang Yaoqing has always maintained a suitable distance from the outside world, which is the moat he has subconsciously established and the root of his personality.
Wang Yaoqing, who usually looks like a ghost horse, has an inaccessible hidden corner in his heart, and the softest part of it is about his grandfather.
The loss more than ten years ago made it difficult for him to let go for a long time, and his grandfather left the world alone in the winter of that year.
Some regrets.
Ang Lee's film "The Fantastic Drifting of The Young Pi" tells the story of the young Pi who was killed at sea, all his family members were killed, only he survived, and he and a Bengal tiger drifted in a lifeboat for 227 days.
Man and tiger, in the days of drifting on the sea, in the situation of loneliness and suffering, they depend on each other for their lives, and they have a special emotion.
The last scene of the film made countless people cry, after the teenager and the tiger came ashore to survive, so many people wanted to see the tiger look back at the boy, and the teenager cried bitterly.
But the tiger didn't look back.
The reality is so cruel.
When Wang Yaoqing watched this movie, he thought of his grandfather, the old man in Taiwan and shandong hometown of the family lost contact, the hair is gray, look dazed, like a lost child.
After searching hard, Wang Yaoqing's grandfather finally contacted his mother on the other side of the strait, and the old man was excited and spent a year preparing to go to Shandong to visit his mother, whom he had not seen for many years.
In April of the following year, the timid old man finally returned to Shandong with courage and learned that his mother had died two months ago.
He lost his last chance to say goodbye to his mother. Nostalgia has since become an eternal pain in the hearts of the elderly.
Hometown, become synonymous with sadness.
This story about his relatives exists in the softest place in Wang Yaoqing's heart, playing so many "successful rich people", which is just his "mask" as an actor.
In the moat he subconsciously built, there was a more complicated inner matter.
Recently, "Perfect Partner" starring Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Luyi and Wang Yaoqing is being broadcast, focusing on the love of middle-aged people and the fragmentation of urban marriage.
Lin Qingkun, played by Wang Yaoqing, is a business elite, and this role of a domineering president can be said to be a piece of cake for him.

However, in this drama, his character attributes are more complicated, Wang Yaoqing said: "Lin Qingkun is a person who puts work first. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qingkun is an elite man of perfectionism, but at home, he is an unqualified husband and father, cold and ruthless, and the audience is indignant, which just proves his superb acting skills.

Wang Yaoqing, who is now a mature actor, once wanted to become a businessman.
The word "Yaoqing" is enough to see the expectations of the elders in the family, and now Wang Yaoqing, who plays a lot of rich people, was also a money fan when he was a child, which may stem from the love of his grandfather in childhood.
When he was a child, Wang Yaoqing, who was afraid of injections, cried as soon as he arrived at the hospital, grandpa thought of a method, before entering the hospital, grandpa took out 5 yuan to coax him, and the two grandfathers agreed that as long as they did not cry when they were injected, the 5 yuan would belong to him.
With the blessing of these 5 pieces of pocket money, when Wang Yaoqing injected, he couldn't help but cry, but smiled, which made his grandfather surprised and happy, and simply gave him 50 yuan.
In a later interview, he said: "This is the first pot of gold I earned. ”
Wang Yaoqing and grandpa, the emotion is deep.
Grandpa's nostalgia also became his nostalgia.
The old man was also once a teenager who was loved by his mother, and he had a vision and expectation for the future in his heart, and he fantasized about the possibilities of life.
The only way I didn't expect it, but it came.
The war uprooted him like a sudden wind, and then gently placed him in a strange wasteland, where Wang Yaoqing's grandfather and family from Shandong were separated from each other since then, and he came to Taiwan alone.
There, he became an orphan of the times, a life of displacement, half a life of ups and downs, he missed his family, and spoke Shandong dialect all his life.
Finally, Wang Yaoqing's grandfather found the news of his family with the help of his wife. The old man was very excited, far away from his hometown for many years, did not hear from him, and could not calm his mood, lest something unfortunate happened in his hometown.
The old man, who was nearly homesick, made preparations for a year, and finally plucked up the courage to return to his hometown in Shandong, and the wanderer returned, but learned that two months ago, his mother had died.
The old man lost the opportunity to say goodbye to his mother, and he was overwhelmed with regret.
He was dying of old age, he could return to his hometown, the mountains and rivers were still there, the spring was still the same, just the graves of his parents, in the grass too deep, the stiff knees of the old man, unable to kneel. Fortunately, there are still the deceased in the hometown.
Every year after that, Wang Yaoqing's grandfather insisted on returning to his hometown in Shandong to accompany his family, drink tea, chat, make dumplings, and reminisce about the past.
At that time, when the companionship is for the future farewell, there can be many memories left in the heart, and it will not be blank.
This true story moved Wang Yaoqing to tears, his grandfather has been dead for more than ten years, and he can still feel that his grandfather will occasionally come back to see him and give him strength.
Wang Yaoqing's life is full of accidents, and everything seems to be destined, including the matter of becoming an actor.
Wang Yaoqing in middle school dreamed of becoming a "profiteer" when he grew up, the kind that could make a lot of money, who knew that when he filled out the volunteer form in college, he wrote the wrong volunteer form and misread the mass communication.
Volunteer filled in the wrong one, he didn't bother to change.
After coming to Fu Jen University in Taiwan, Wang Yaoqing was wrong, and he chose to study imaging in his misreported mass communication department.
Wang Yaoqing chose to major in videography, perhaps because at the age of 18, under the guidance of director Yang Dechang, he acted in an experimental stage short film called "If", which was included in the "Juvenile Murder Incident on Muling Street".
It is precisely because of Yang Dechang and "If", Wang Yaoqing after that can not let go of his fascination with stage drama for a long time.
When he was in college, the good-looking Wang Yaoqing was discovered by the star scouts and invited him to shoot advertisements, and there was an advertisement in the early Nescafe coffee "No matter how busy you are, you also have to drink a cup of coffee", and the male protagonist is him.
The smile is shy and angular.
Wang Yaoqing, who grew up a fan of wealth, laid out the real first bucket of gold in his life and slept on the bed, and he felt that he was very rich.
After this advertisement, his fate was completely changed.
"No matter how busy you are, you also want to drink a cup of coffee" has become Wang Yaoqing's advertising masterpiece, and it has also attracted him to the favor of director Guan Jinpeng: shooting a music MV.
It wasn't until the day of filming that he didn't know it was to record an album for a female singer doll.
At that time, the doll was a popular singer in Taiwan, and with the blessing of Li Zongsheng's lyrics and composition, her fame became more and more great.
Director Guan Jinpeng, the heroine doll, the cinematographer is Wong Kar-wai's royal candidate Du Kefeng, Wang Yaoqing is undoubtedly lucky.
Noble people continue, destiny.
In 1995, after graduating from university, Wang Yaoqing received a filming invitation from the TV series "Crystal Flower", which was his official debut work.
Although Wang Yaoqing's original dream was not to be an actor, from advertising to MV to TV series, it can be said that fate chose him.
After the first film and television drama, Wang Yaoqing starred in a number of Taiwan dramas, "Sunflower", "Daughter of the Earth", "The Love of the Eighth Wind Balloon", "Top of the Forbidden Purple", in these works, he played all supporting roles.
In "Sunflower", Wang Yaoqing starred in a teenager with bipolar disorder, drowned very early, he played two roles alone, and also played the brother of the teenager, he just right to pinch the role attribute of "pretending to be crazy and selling stupid".
And the heroine of this drama is Zhang Ting, who is lamentable at present.
Wang Yaoqing, who entered the field of Taiwanese television dramas, seemed to outsiders to be smooth sailing, but he himself felt bored.
In those years, Taiwan dramas were popular for hundreds of episodes of longevity dramas, and the "World's First Taste" was as many as 286 episodes, Wang Yaoqing performed from beginning to end, this drama won the ratings championship of the year, and he was also known to the public.
But Wang Yaoqing, with the idea of wanting to leave, he feels that he is repeating himself in one clichéd plot after another, with serious internal friction, and he needs another way of performing to enrich himself.
In 2006, Wang Yaoqing bid farewell to Taiwanese drama and embarked on the stage of drama and stage drama, and his debut was Lin Yihua's "Water Margin".
Recalling the past, Lin Yihua said:
"In 2005, I was rehearsing in Taipei, surfing more than 90 channels without sleeping at night, and finally stopped in a series, because there was an actor whose performance was different from everyone else's, but in the same episode, he was knocked down by a car, and it turned out that he was a cameo, so I asked everywhere, and his name was Wang Yaoqing."
Lin Yihua and Wang Yaoqing
In his twenties, Wang Yaoqing has a thin, immature face and a natural aristocratic temperament, which blesses his talent for acting in stage plays.
Director Lin Yihua admired him: "Audiences who have not seen Wang Yaoqing perform stage plays, it is difficult to imagine how much magnetic field the performance plus personal charm can generate on the spot. ”
Since then, he has become the royal male protagonist of "Ghost Talent" stage drama director Lin Yihua, his actors are always changing, the only constant is Wang Yaoqing, six works in six years, a total of 195 performances, can be called a golden partner.
In those six years, Wang Yaoqing was a regular on stage plays, and the actresses who worked with him all had well-known names, Zhang Aijia, Rene Liu, Ariel Lin...
Wang Yaoqing and Rene Liu starred in the stage play "Red Lady's Whimsical World in the West Chamber"
Since 2006, his persistence and dedication have allowed himself to shine in the field of stage plays and dramas. Acting in a stage play requires solid acting skills and constant inner determination, and Wang Yaoqing has played a stubborn soul.
He said that acting is his life, "when 200 people breathe with you, it becomes an aura."
Stage plays, far from mass entertainment and attention, cold and clear, he is determined, quietly as a stage actor, seriously performing every work.
Wang Yaoqing and Zhang Aijia
For the acting thing, Wang Yaoqing took it seriously from the beginning, in order to completely remove the Taiwanese accent when he spoke, he deliberately went to the Central Academy of Drama in 2011 and took a line class.
However, the natural conditions of stage dramas make actors doomed to not get as much attention as film and television dramas, and the reality is cruel.
Wang Yaoqing was in it, and he knew the taste of it.

Once, Wang Yaoqing and Zhang Aijia went to Beijing to tour the stage play, and a director named Teng Huatao in the audience was attracted to him, and after the performance, he went backstage and said to Wang Yaoqing: "I have a movie role here, I have not been able to find the right actor, you are particularly suitable, do you want to try it?" ”
This movie is "33 Days of Lost Love".
At the age of 37, Wang Yaoqing came to the mainland and became the spokesman for the "domineering president", dramatically saying that he acted in movies because he had no money.
Wang Yaoqing's first appearance as a domineering president was in the movie "33 Days of Lost Love" in 2011, which was also his debut film for development in the mainland.
Wei Zheng, who he played in the film, let many viewers bury their fantasies about the life of the upper-class rich, he looks zhouzheng, but he is not too cold, and there is a natural nobility between his hands and feet.
Stills of the 2011 movie "33 Days of Lost Love" by Huang Xiaoxian (Played by Bai Baihe) and Wei Zheng (played by Wang Yaoqing).
In the words of the sharp heroine Huang Xiaoxian in the movie, it is: "A young and middle-aged man like you, hardware is excellent, software is also very good, in short, it is an excellent variety." ”
The movie "Thirty-Three Days of Lost Love" exceeded 100 million yuan at the box office in the 4 days of release, achieving unexpected success, and Wang Yaoqing was also nominated for best supporting actor because Wei was still a role.
Wang Yaoqing's life as a "domineering president" officially began at the age of 37 and was irresistible.
He is the wise and shrewd uncle Taylor of Little Daddy.

He is the humorous and funny warm male Wang Wei in "I Am Dulala".

He is Jiang Haokun, who is domineering and black-hearted in "Mr. Good".

He is also a pivotal patriotic engineer in "Graduation Song".

As long as Wang Yaoqing, who is born rich, appears on the scene, basically the audience understands that the richest person in the whole drama has appeared, or is personable, or has a strong aura.
Some viewers said: "Even if Wang Yaoqing plays a beggar, I believe he can make a comeback!" ”
Over the years, he himself can't count how many "successful gold collar" roles he has played, and in the almost identical supporting actors, Wang Yaoqing must also strive to do his best.
During the filming of "Obstetrician", in order to present the audience with the most real state of the doctor, a few months before the start of filming, Wang Yaoqing specially went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Beijing Tongren Hospital to observe the daily life of obstetricians and gynecologists and learn the professional use of medical equipment.
In 2012, when filming the TV series "Floating and Sinking", Lu Fan, played by Wang Yaoqing, was a workplace elite of a foreign company, in order to better reflect the professionalism of the role, he always loved money and paid for himself, spending a lot of 300,000 yuan to customize a suit.
With this work, Wang Yaoqing won the best supporting actor.
"These details have always been a kind of self-suggestion, the audience may not see, but it does not mean that I can't see, it provides a credibility," he said. ”
In 2018, when filming "The Age of Entrepreneurship", Li Benteng, played by Wang Yaoqing, was an industry tycoon, and for this capitalist role that many viewers may not recognize, he himself felt that Li Benteng was a romantic person, obsessed with stepping into a new world.
Stills of Li Benteng (played by Wang Yaoqing) in the 2018 TV series "Entrepreneurial Times"
Before starring, Wang Yaoqing deliberately bought an old-school and outdated electronic watch and wore it on his hand all day, only because Li Benteng's prototype character started from scratch as an electronic watch.
Wearing the electronic watch, Wang Yaoqing is closer to Li Benteng, he uses his own understanding to repeatedly speculate on the role, shaping a flesh and blood person, the audience can see his cunning smile, but also can see his lonely and bleak eyes when he realizes that his talent is limited.
As an actor, he is worthy of the role he plays, and he never allows himself to be stereotyped, "I am not the president, I am just the porter of the president's life."
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, in these years, in addition to the label of Wang Yaoqing's second-year male and middle-aged elite successful man, he is also a particularly grounded person, who can be called funny in various variety shows, and has never had baggage on his body.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival Music Gala in the Greater Bay Area, Wang Yaoqing, who sat in the audience, became the king of the camera with his strength, and was called the highest quality audience by netizens.
That Wang Yaoqing in a suit and leather shoes, usually like this...
Li Weijia shouted directly: "Whoever is with Brother Yao Qing, who will become a drama spirit." ”
Humor, ghostly horses, cuteness, is the other side of him.
In recent years, Wang Yaoqing, who has constantly shown his face on variety shows, has brought everyone a lot of joy, and no one has sung that he has become a variety show café, but said that he is very open, so that everyone can see a grounded image that is different from the screen.
In 2016, on "See words as faces", Wang Yaoqing's solid line skills and magnetic voice were extremely infectious.
He read twelve letters, which is equivalent to playing twelve different roles, Bruce Lee, Huang Yongyu, Liu Cixin... Wang Yaoqing was completely immersed in the role and immersed in the play.
His ease is the result of six years of stage drama experience.
His spiritual world has always been rich, and he knows what he is after.
In 2016, Wang Yaoqing and his team did a talk show "Interview with The Worker", and the protagonists are not stars, but ordinary people who do the work they love.
There is Taiwanese dancer Lin Huaimin, stage director Lin Yihua, classical music critic Jiao Yuanpu...
In 2016, Wang Yaoqing walked into Taiwan's Yunmen Theater and asked the dancer Lin Huaimin, who founded the Yunmen Dance Collection and moved the dance to the countryside and fields.
Lin Huaimin and Wang Yaoqing
Lin Huaimin's dance works, carefully choreographed and ensured that the old woman can also understand her works, some people feel that the beauty is moving, some people feel that the pain is moving.
In Lin Huaimin's heart, choreographing dance is a disease, while shouting that he has no inspiration and is going to die, but next time, he will do it, which is the obsession of the worker.
In Wang Yaoqing's view, it is worth discussing the heart of work with these artists, the performance of the actors is actually not humane, and everyone has their own love.
Wang Yaoqing and Lin Huaimin
"When the criterion for judging a thing is only the conclusion of making money and losing money, the world is destined to become more and more boring."
Wang Yaoqing wanted to get rid of this passive repetition, and he asked the people around him, who knew and did not know, how they could live out the novelty of life.
If he could, he wanted to keep asking.
After so many years of debut, Wang Yaoqing has never opened Weibo, and he does not want the public to pay too much attention to his private life, but to focus on the role he plays.
"If people want to pay attention to me, please pay attention to my work, I don't want to get involved in the so-called gossip. Everyone thinks I can become an influencer, but who will remember, what was the hot search two years ago? ”
Perhaps the release of self on variety shows is his self-decompression, and Wang Yaoqing subconsciously maintains a suitable distance from the outside world, which is the moat he subconsciously established and the root of his personality.
The domineering president is a misunderstanding.
In an interview with Venus, Wang Yaoqing finally confessed: "My family has no money. ”
People feel that this boy is born with a good life, he is actually just worthy of the fate of the arrangement, in the identity of the actor to complete themselves, love, immersion, enrichment, and then settle down.
Wang Yaoqing, who always plays the golden bachelor on the screen, actually married young and early, he and his wife Guo Yanqing are middle school classmates, studying in a different place after college, until at a classmate meeting, the two reunited.
Wang Yaoqing was filming outside, in order to facilitate the convenience of going to Guo Yanqing's house to live, which is an alternative rental, and later the two families felt that it was always inappropriate to live like this, so Wang Yaoqing married this green plum bamboo horse.
After marriage, Wang Yaoqing became a spoiled wife demon, no matter how busy he was filming, he would take time to accompany his wife and children, and he would marry for 20 years with zero scandals, and it turned out that long love was the most romantic thing.
Wang Yaoqing and his wife Guo Yanqing
On that day, the family went to the hospital to visit the old man, and there was no preparation for life and death, but after everyone had just left the hospital and arrived home, they received a call from the hospital saying that the old man was gone.
All his family rushed to the hospital, except for Wang Yaoqing, who always ran to the airport in the twilight, when he was already filming in the mainland and was thousands of miles away from his grandfather.
The arrangement of fate, adhering to the logic of nature, has nothing to do with human emotions.
Wang Yaoqing gradually realized that his loss seemed to always be accompanied by the regret of not being able to see the last side of his grandfather, and that heavy goodbye became a secret pain.
This kind of farewell can only be done by silence. Whenever this happened, Wang Yaoqing would eat a plate of hot dumplings, and he would not dip it in vinegar, but dipped it in soy sauce, which was the mark of his family.
