From the ranger "Li Tiangu" in "Tengu", to the "Liang Man Hoard" in "Walking West Pass", from "Shi Jinlin" in "Wangzu" to "Yan Hua" in "Great Prospects", these popular drama characters have a common name behind them - Fu Dalong.
Young and famous, frozen three feet is not a day's cold
Fu Dalong is a Native of Gansu Tianshui, Manchu, who came to Gansu because of his parents' support for the third line, and Fu Dalong was born in that land in 1976 and spent his childhood before the age of seven or eight.
In his childhood, Fu Dalong's favorite thing to do was to watch movies, although sometimes you have to climb a few mountains to watch a movie, but young children are always happy and excited about it.
A film with depth may still affect the trajectory of an adult's life, let alone a child.
Fu Dalong seems to be more mature and stable than his peers since he was a child, so that after the age of eight, he followed his parents back to the bustling city, and he was difficult to adapt for a while, but this good teenager with good character and excellent character was introverted and withdrawn.
Although Fu Dalong's parents are ordinary workers, they attach great importance to their children's education.
Under the guidance of his parents, Fu Dalong studied martial arts, Peking Opera, calligraphy and painting professionally from an early age, perhaps unintentionally, perhaps by providence, which also laid a solid foundation for his later acting career.
In 1984, the eight-year-old Fu Dalong was selected by the director when he was studying in the Children's Palace, starred in the movie "Zhongcai", and then played Peng Dehuai in "Young Peng Dehuai", and every year after that, from junior high school to high school, he would receive an invitation from the director to participate in a film and television work, which can be described as a boom, everyone praised this child who was favored by God, but may forget his years of hard work and the discomfort and loneliness of entering the city.
Time has precipitated mellow acting skills
In 1993, with the mentality of "try it out", Fu Dalong applied for the Beijing Film Academy, and his kung fu did not live up to his painstaking efforts, and he was successfully admitted to the acting department after passing three levels. Because of his ordinary appearance, Fu Dalong practiced his acting skills hard in college, studied hard, and finally graduated from Beiying with the first place in the class.
After graduation, Fu Dalong took over a war blockbuster "Purple Sun" with great repercussions, perhaps the previous roles were too good, perhaps his insistence on acting was almost perfect, he was very picky about the script, commercial films did not pick up, soap operas did not pick up, dramas that did not restore historical roles did not pick up, which in the business model, resulting in him not receiving suitable plays for many years.
An actor, no work for seven years, many people may think of other ways, either to find a relationship to contact the director, or to go out to socialize, broaden the network of drama, Fu Dalong did not do this, he held a simple and pure mentality, quietly waiting for the ideal role to knock on the door.
In the years without drama, Fu Dalong did not idle, and did not give up on himself, he simply hid in his "small building", learned the guqin, created poetry and prose, and his poetry and prose collections "Pastoral Songs", "Those Rains", "Walking on the Edge of the River Loop", and "Miscellaneous Poetry Books" are all from those years.
In 2005, he also wrote two film scripts, "Wasted Piano" and "Landscape and Water", as well as the novel "Ji Hongmei", which not only filled the lonely time waiting for the role, but also transformed him from an actor into a poet and a writer, and even a screenwriter and novelist.
He has no source of income for a long time, and can only rely on his elderly parents to help him with a little living expenses, which makes him often very sad, he has delivered takeaways, worked as a takeaway for three yuan an hour, rode his bicycle through the streets of Beijing, and avoided acquaintances...
Fortunately, Fu Dalong never forgot his original intention, did not give up his beloved performance career, tasted the pain of life, and silently waited for the big tree in his heart to take root.
With Tengu, the first shot was fired
Years of perseverance were not in vain, and one day in August 2006, Fu Dalong finally waited for the day of his rebirth.
"Tengu" director Qi Jian found Fu Dalong to invite him to star in this film, after listening to the director describe the plot, Fu Dalong was deeply attracted by this rich character and could not wait to say to the director:
"Director, I'll go!" He didn't even talk about the remuneration, so he took over the play.
In fact, the original starring role of this drama is not Fu Dalong, but Chen Jianbin.
It is precisely because Chen Jianbin was nervous and could not enter the group that he gave Fu Dalong an opportunity to show.
Fu Dalong knows that he looks ordinary and needs to rely on acting skills to shape the role to impress the audience, in this play, he carefully studies every action, repeatedly deliberates on each line, in order to set off the performance effect, he often learns dialects from local villagers.
Even, because the protagonist of the play, "Li Tiangu", has unfavorable legs and feet, Fu Dalong in order to shape the image of "Li Tiangu" is exquisite, he painstakingly imitates the movements and feelings of lame legs, for this reason, he also brought this way of walking to real life, so that the scene can not be recovered after filming.
After the release of "Tengu", Fu Dalong won the first film emperor in his life- the best actor of the 7th Chinese Media Film Awards, and became a double film emperor of the Huabiao Award and the Golden Rooster Award.
Fu Dalong, who had worked hard, said affectionately at the award ceremony:
"I want to thank the people who have made me miserable and have tribulations for me. You are my true teacher, and you have made me understand that man is like a jewel, and the more he sharpens, the more refined he becomes. ”
Acting should be treated like life
After "Tengu", Fu Dalong's acting skills have been recognized by the audience, the film is continuous, he still insists on not taking the commercial route, not filming those "assembly line operation" soap operas, Fu Dalong said that art is a very sacred thing, the performance must be treated with awe, should be treated like life.
In 2008, Fu Dalong got the script of "Going West", he almost read it in one breath, and his excitement boiled with excitement, and he sighed more than once:
"This is the good book I've been waiting for!"
He carefully pondered the role of "Liang Man Hoard", the "Liang Man Hoard" of the earth head and the head of the earth brain was alive and tense under his interpretation, and he could not see the elegant temperament of Fu Dalong himself, in the role, Fu Da Long was "Liang Man Hoard".
After "Walking West", Fu Dalong was hand-picked by the big director Hu Mei to star in the era drama "Wangzu" Shi Jinlin.
In the same year, he also participated in the TV series "This Life Owes You a Hug", in which he played a soldier who lost both arms, and through his own thinking and performance, he interpreted the inner pain and suffering of the character to the fullest.
After the show was broadcast, it earned enough tears from the audience.
In 2017, the "Great Qin Empire" trilogy has been popular, and Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi, played by Fu Dalong, has also achieved great success.
A year later, "Great Prospects" was released, and Fu Dalong played the role of Yan Hua, in which he changed the image of the steel warrior who had fought in blood and played the IQ drama of open and dark fighting.
In the play, his words and deeds are very in place, showing amazing acting skills, and one person does not lose any momentum against the three old drama bones, which makes people admire.
Fu Dalong meets the love of this life
During the filming of "I Owe You a Hug in This Life", Fu Dalong met his wife Rao Minli.
Rao Minli is a native of Chongqing, and like Fu Dalong, she is also a young and famous actor, who was admitted to the dance department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts at the age of 11, and then admitted to the military art performance department.
In 2005, Rao Minli was selected by the director to play the second princess Haitang in Tang Guoqiang's "Zhenguan Long Song".
In 2006, she starred in Gu Wanying in the TV series "WangchunFeng", and played the female number two Yu Qian'er in "Big Tomorrow", and the next series of good dramas she participated in made her popular.
Fu Dalong fell in love with this girl at first sight, and his elegant and humorous personality quickly won the girl's heart, in 2010, the two people who had been dating for two years decided to get a license to marry, when Rao Minli was more famous than Fu Dalong, but she did not hesitate to almost marry this poor boy naked.
Rao Minli's conditions are very good, and she can dance and perform, whether it is her appearance, literacy, or attitude towards work, she is remarkable.
In CCTV3's "Happy China Trip", Rao Minli has served as the location host of many issues, and her hosting style is very popular with the audience. Just when everyone thought that she would become a first-line star, she chose to fade out of the entertainment circle and become the woman behind the rich dragon, a decision that surprised the friends around her.
It is a pity that the end of a 12-year marriage together is regrettable
Rao Minli, who faded out of the entertainment industry, has become more low-key and rarely appears in front of the public.
She appreciates Fu Dalong's versatility and will also cater to Fu Dalong's blowing and singing.
In their spare time, the couple will play the guqin, write and write, and have a discussion of interpretation, like a fairy couple.
In 2015, Rao Minli was admitted to the Military Culture College of the National Defense University (formerly the People's Liberation Army Art College) with honors for a master's degree in fine arts, and after graduation, she stayed on to teach at the school, teaching while filming film and television dramas.
In 2019, Rao Minli played the heroine Dongfang Wenyin in the military drama "The Sky of History", which was shortlisted for the 16th China Wenhua Award, the highest government award in the country, and Rao Minli's superb acting skills were once again recognized inside and outside the circle.
Unfortunately, such a good two people, perhaps they are both busy with their careers, have no time to take care of others, and to this day, they do not have children of their own.
In February 2022, the two issued a joint divorce statement,
For the two, the past is a precious memory that they share with each other. The future is also a sincere blessing to each other. ”
After 12 years of hand in hand, the marriage ended, which is regrettable, but no matter what the reason for deciding to separate, they should be blessed.
Tianfu Aquatic - Rich Dragon
Talking about his own path to fame, Fu Dalong once mentioned a poem by Wang Anshi that "seems to be the most strange in the ordinary, but it is easy but difficult." Success is never easy, looking back, Fu Dalong in the first half of his life, hard enough, enough persistence, admirable, but also worthy of our learning. I sincerely hope that in his future acting path, I can see his better works and harvest a better life.
