We all know that the requirements of actors are very high, especially in today's "inner volume" is becoming more and more serious, if you want to mix a world in the entertainment industry, you must not only have good resources, good luck, and your own image cannot be bad. This also leads to what we see in front of the TV now, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women, and the homogenization is very serious.
But more than ten years ago, it was not like this, that era can be said to be a hundred flowers, the image is only secondary, what is really important is your professionalism and acting skills. Because of this, many actors famous for their "clowns" were born in that era, such as Ni Dahong, Huang Bo, Cheng Kui'an and Liang Guanhua.
Compared with the previous ones, Liang Guanhua should be the least famous one. His most deeply rooted masterpiece is the "Di Daren" played in "Detective Di Renjie", which may be that this role is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, so that many people only know to call him "Di Daren" at first sight, but do not know his real name.
It is also strange to say that since playing Di Renjie, Liang Guanhua seems to have rarely appeared in front of the screen. So, where did the "disappeared" Liang Guanhua go? How did he become famous step by step with such a poor image?
01
Liang Guanhua was born in Beijing and is an authentic Beijinger, and we can feel the strong Beijing accent in the accent he speaks.
His parents are doctors, so Liang Guanhua can be said to have been born into a medical family. It is reasonable to say that Liang Guanhua should inherit the mantle of his parents and be a doctor, how did he become an actor?
This has to start from when he was a child, because his parents were busy at work and did not have time to take care of him, so he lived with his grandmother in Tianjin when he was very young.
Unlike her parents, her grandmother's family is an artistic family. Uncle Zhang Chunhua is a famous actor in Peking Opera, often singing a few words at home, Grandma also likes to listen to drama, so unlike the serious atmosphere of her own home, Grandma's house is often brightly lit and the opera is constantly sounding.
In her spare time, Grandma would also take a few children to listen to Zhang Chunhua singing. Under the influence of this environment, the young Liang Guanhua naturally became interested in opera.
Because there are many children to take care of, Liang Guanhua quietly learns Peking Opera and big drum excerpts in order to make his grandmother happy. So that at the age of 5, he can sing classic Peking operas such as "ShaJiabang".
It is said that the next generation of relatives, grandma is naturally also pampered by Liang Guanhua, coupled with the superior conditions at home, so Liang Guanhua wears snacks without worry. His parents were not around for a long time and neglected to take care of him, which led to the fact that when his parents came to pick him up later, they looked at the big fat boy in front of him and almost did not give up his son.
02
When he was in elementary school, Liang Guanhua was picked up by his parents in Beijing, and he was already a "little fat man" in other people.
Although the image makes him inferior, his talent is unanimously recognized by everyone. In class, or at literary evenings, Liang Guanhua is often selected as a delegate to recite on stage.
Sometimes, the teacher would take him to other schools to perform. Perhaps for this "little fat man", only the moment of immersion in the stage, he really became the self who loved to perform.
In 1978, Liang Guanhua was 14 years old. One day he accidentally saw the enrollment brochure of North Shadow, and he who had long been interested in performance suddenly became energetic and secretly called the enrollment phone. But because he was too young, he was rejected by Beiying.
Two years passed, and the love of acting in his heart finally couldn't be contained, and he told his parents what he thought. My father was the first to stand up against him, not wanting him to be an actor, thinking that it was not a proper job. His mother was the opposite, after all, her family was a literary and artistic person, so she was very supportive of him.
Although he objected, he saw that his son loved it so much, and his father did not say much. It may be that he is talented, or it may be that he has made unimaginable efforts for ordinary people, and Liang Guanhua has entered the third test very smoothly.
But the closer he got to success, the deeper his anxiety became, for simple reasons. Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women who took the exam together in front of him, he looked at his own figure again, and his sense of inferiority could be imagined.
Fortunately, Liang Guanhua, who was well prepared enough, performed the sketches "Temporary Nanny" and "Spring Tour" during the three examinations, which made all the examiners present shoot the case.
Although the image did not prevail, it proved that talent and hard work were really important, and he was eventually admitted in a competitive exam. That year, he became classmates with Song Dandan and Bao Dazhi.
03
For Liang Guanhua, being admitted was very unexpected, but his teacher said: "Art does not look at the surface, let alone nobility, we only care about whether you have worked hard and paid." ”
Although he successfully enrolled in school, Liang Guanhua, who did not have an advantage in appearance, basically ran a dragon suit on the stage.
It was not until 1984, when Liang Guanhua's "Red and White Happy Event" won the second prize of the National Opera, Drama and Opera Observation Performance that year, and the 1987 Drama Plum Blossom Award, that Liang Guanhua was slightly famous, but at that time he was still only a supporting role.
In 1986, when Liang Guanhua had been assigned to Beijing Renyi, it happened that a colleague named Tang Ye came to the unit.
This Tang Ye has a great future, graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Directing, and has already directed many well-known dramas such as "Cai Wenji" and "Tea House" before coming to Renyi, which can be said to have an unlimited future.
Although in the unit, Tang Ye has many suitors, Tang Ye is indifferent and has a special love for the fat Liang Guanhua.
In 1988, Tang Ye, who had a cheerful and enthusiastic personality, could no longer suppress the admiration in his heart and took the initiative to write a confession letter to Liang Guanhua. It didn't take long for these two sympathetic young people to be together.
But because of the fat, Liang Guanhua has not had the confidence to continue to walk with Tang Ye. Until Tang Ye saw Liang Guanhua's heart and took the initiative to say to him: "I don't care about your weight and appearance, do you know why I chose you?" Because of your kindness, your talent! ”
Under tang Ye's firmness and encouragement, the two married in the dormitory of the unit the following year.
04
Although Liang Guanhua had a heart that loved acting, the entire drama industry was helplessly in the cold winter at that time. As his wife, Tang Ye has a lot of film and television resources, so he suggested that Liang Guanhua go to film and television dramas.
With the help of his wife's resources, Liang Guanhua has successively obtained high-quality resources such as "Longing", "Youth Without Regrets" and "The Story of the Editorial Department". But none of this is enough to make this actor who does not have the advantage of appearance and age popular.
Until 1998, tang Ye, who was also a director, did not hesitate to recommend her husband Liang Guanhua when he learned that director Shen Haofang was preparing to shoot "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin".
Shen Haofang is very satisfied with the image of Liang Guanhua, but investors feel that Liang Guanhua is too fat and will not affect the ratings. Helplessly, the director did not have the right to decide, in order to let investors agree, Liang Guanhua frantically lost weight, lost a full 16 kilograms in two months, and finally got this opportunity.
Two years after filming, the show landed at universities in January 2000. Liang Guanhua vividly interpreted the humor, poor mouth, but no lack of love and compassion of the little man Zhang Damin, and overnight Liang Guanhua became a household celebrity.
At that time, Huo Siyan and Pan Yueming were only supporting roles of Liang Guanhua in the play. Because of this drama, Liang Guanhua has won the "Spring Swallow Award" and the "Feitian Award" for outstanding actors.
In the next few years, Liang Guanhua had a good performance in "The World's First Ugly" and "Dream Valley".
05
In 2004, in Qian Yanqiu's "Detective Di Renjie", Liang Guanhua appeared for the first time as a fat "Di Renjie", and relied on a kind-hearted, but also wise and suspenseful Di Renjie in his eyes, which received countless praises.
It is precisely because of the success of this drama that we have seen Liang Guanhua cooperate with Zhang Zijian and Qian Yanqiu many times in the following years, such as "Falcon 1949", "Flying Tiger Condor" and "Lonely Island Flying Eagle".
These have undoubtedly become classics in our minds. But in the years that followed, Liang Guanhua seemed to have disappeared, and we rarely saw him.
Until 2019, Liang Guanhua appeared in our field of vision again. This time, the contrast brought to us is great, no longer the wise Di Renjie and Duma, but the prince Zhu Gaozi in the TV series "Daming Fenghua".
In "Daming Style", Liang Guanying interprets the prince's grounding and only promises, and even makes many people have the illusion that "Liang Guanhua is Zhu Gaozi".
Throughout Liang Guanhua's life, we will find that although his starting point is trapped by the image, he tells us with practical actions that the outside cannot determine everything, as long as you make enough efforts, there will always be a phoenix nirvana day.
From dramas to TV series to movies; from costumes to modern costumes, Liang Guanhua can always play every role deeply in the hearts of the people, and substitute every audience in front of the TV set into the plot.
At present, although "small fresh meat" and "traffic stars" are in charge, it is difficult for a powerful faction like Liang Guanhua to have the opportunity of that year, but I have always believed that the flashiness in front of me is only temporary, and only actors like Liang Guanhua who regard the acting career as a part of their lives will be remembered by us forever.
