"Don't play this kind of role all the time in the future, your daughter doesn't want to recognize you anymore!" Hou Tianlai's wife was furious at him.
But he shook his head helplessly: "That bad guy always has to have someone to play!" ”
Just like Du Yuming, who played the deer staff guest in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", his role in the play is a more vicious villain, which has a lot to do with his looks.
Another example is Li Ming, who plays Qiu Qianzhi in "Divine Eagle Man", who looks fierce and evil, and he makes people feel that his first impression is very difficult to approach.
Actor Du Xudong is also a well-known "villain professional", in "Divine Doctor Xi Laile", he opposes good people everywhere and hurts many innocent people.
Facing the fierce, they can only go farther and farther on this road.
Unlike them, Hou Tianlai has an "honest man" face, has extraordinary acting skills, and plays the bad guys into three points.
After a play, you may not remember his name, just look at his face to know who he played.
After the fire of "Women Are No Longer Silent", he would be pointed at when he walked on the street and said: "Look, isn't this Wang Xiansheng?" ”
"It's really that lewd man!"
More than 20 years after his debut, he has played the bad guy over and over again, so how did he embark on the path of "villain"?
What kind of person is he in real life?
1.
Hou Tianlai was born into an ordinary family in Jilin Province, and his parents were great teachers of the people.
Because he was married for many years before giving birth to him, he was named Tianlai, which means the treasure sent by heaven.
His birth brought a lot of joy to the family, and his parents hoped that he would inherit their mantle and become a teacher when he grew up.
Teaching and educating people to cultivate more talents for the motherland, so from an early age, he was indoctrinated with knowledge by his parents, and he was able to memorize dozens of Tang poems before he reached school age.
Whenever a guest comes to the house, he is forced by his parents to "perform", and perhaps since then he has had the idea of becoming an actor.
After going to school, he has been studying seriously according to his parents' wishes on the surface, but secretly he has secretly learned erhu, and often goes in and out of the dance hall with his friends to practice dance.
For a while, he especially liked to watch movies, but he didn't have money to buy tickets, so he couldn't go to his father's bookshelf and take two books for tickets.
He knew that his father's books were very numerous, and even if he took them, he would not be found by his father.
Just such a person whose ancestors have not been involved in literature and art for eighteen generations has become a versatile literary and artistic worker.
In that era, even if he went to high school, even if it was the end, after graduation, his academic performance was a mess every day, and his father saw that being a teacher was no play.
He was assigned to work as a fitter in a bicycle factory, and after a few days he began to cry to his parents: the sound of the chainsaw shook his brain.
Repeating one thing every day is too boring, but his father did not allow him to retreat, and told him: "No matter what you do, you must persist to see the dawn." ”
After 3 years of suffering in such an environment, the news of the national restoration of the college entrance examination system reached his ears, which seemed to be a life-saving straw.
He couldn't wait to throw down the wrench, take off his overalls, and fly to the Jilin Art Institute to register.
After successfully passing the exam, he chose a major to make it difficult for him to have a beloved erhu on the one hand, and an acting department that could leave a name in the cast list.
After a long struggle, he filled in his name in the acting department, and it was from this moment that his life will be rewritten.
After choosing this major, he had already begun to fantasize about the scene of becoming a popular star, but unexpectedly, the teacher sentenced him to "death" at the beginning of the first class.
When he was young, he grew tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses, white skin, and he looked like a typical "cream boy".
The teacher told him directly: "No one likes your type, and you will not receive drama in the future, if you change your major now, it is still too late." ”
Listening to the teacher's words was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and his heart was cold and cold, and he was entangled and did not accept defeat.
For four whole years, he was under tremendous pressure, and at the beginning of each test, he was the bottom few in the class.
The teacher of the students with poor grades naturally did not like to take care of it, and once the teacher called several top students in the class to discuss the work together.
Just when he saw it, that scene stung him deeply, and then he secretly swore in his heart: I must become that wonderful person.
Since then, every time the lights go out in the dormitory, he will always hide in the bed and take the flashlight lighting to continue learning the unfinished books.

After graduation, Hou Tianlai was assigned to the Jilin Repertory Theatre, where he learned a lot of things that he could not learn in school.
It was also because of this experience that he honed his solid acting foundation, and at the age of 34, he was transferred to Changchun Film Studio.
When he was first transferred to the factory, he could only play the roles of passerby A and passerby B, and he told his friends what TV series he had acted in, but it turned out that there was no him in the cast list.
He made one unsigned film after another like this, and slowly his name appeared from the dragon running set to the cast list.
After that, the name became more and more advanced, which also proved that his role became more and more important, and his acting skills were recognized by everyone.
The first role that made him out of the circle was "Puyi", when his appearance appeared in the film, Puyi's last wife, Li Yuqin, could not help but shed tears.
Shouting: "Too similar, too much like!" ”
With this role, he won the first grand prize in his life, and then he also played the role of several emperors in a row, becoming an "emperor professional household".
Seeing this, some people have to ask, how did the emperor who obviously played the emperor become a villain?
It turned out that the director of the play "Women Are No Longer Silent" was a friend of his old friend Li Youbin, who found him to help make a cameo role.
It also claims to be a small role, and it will be filmed in a month at most.
In this way, he agreed to it, and he did not expect to enter the crew to find that this "Wang Xiansheng" is not only not a small role, but also a proper big pervert.
He knew that he had been deceived, but he came, just shoot it, because the character has a distinct personality, he basically acted in one line.
In the end, it really took less than a month to shoot all his scenes.
After that, he threw himself into the next work, forgetting the role, until 2003, after the TV series was broadcast on David TV, he found himself on fire, playing so many good people without fire, playing a "bad guy" was actually scolded.
But people who know him well know that he is a very honest person in life, not to mention harassing women, that is, to let him hold hands with women other than his wife, he is particularly embarrassed.
In order to make him have no psychological burden, the director enlightened him: "In fact, you can understand this role, if you play this role well,
It can let many women see the faces of such people in their lives, help them identify scum, and stay away from perversion. ”
Hearing the director's words, he suddenly had an epiphany: "Yes, I am acting, and I am not really a lewd man." ”
Without a knot in his heart, he has since played the role of a number of villains, but his wife is often "educated": "How can you marry such a scum!" ”
At first, the daughter hated him, and even felt that it was a shame to have such a father, but as the daughter grew up, she slowly began to understand him.
He also comforted him: "I think those people scolded you, which shows that you act well, act like, Dad, you are the best." ”
With his daughter's support, he was even more determined to go down this road.
In "The Name of the People", he played Chen Qingquan, who was learning foreign languages with foreign women in bed, and a scene play became a classic clip in the play.
His phrase "learning a foreign language" in the play has also become a highly popular meme on the Internet.

Don't look at him in the play is a "bad guy professional household", in real life he is a completely good husband and father.
As early as when he first filmed "The Last Imperial Princess", he met his wife like a jade flower, and the two met for the first time with a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other.
Then the feelings quickly warmed up, and soon the two entered the palace of marriage, and after marriage, the two small mouths were like glue, and there were endless words.
Before long, their two daughters were born, and after being upgraded to a family of four, he was more motivated and vowed to let his wife and daughter live a happy life.
Up to now, they have been in love for 37 years, have gone through countless ups and downs, and their two daughters are also very beautiful and beautiful.
After graduation, the eldest daughter took over her father and became an actor, and I believe that under his leadership, she will also be an excellent actress in the future.
The second daughter followed in her father's footsteps, fell in love with La Erhu, and became a well-known figure in the industry.
Hou Tianlai's eldest daughter
This can also be regarded as the fulfillment of his dream when he was young, and now that he is a grandfather, he has transferred all the responsibilities he did not fulfill to his daughter when he was a child to his grandson.
When his daughter was busy at work, he and his wife went to his daughter's house to help take care of the children, cooking, feeding, and making complementary food for the baby.
Putting his family first, he now maintains the frequency of one or two dramas every year.
First, he has been busy for most of his life, and he can't stay idle, and acting has become an indispensable part of his life.
Second, because the acting skills are too good, there are always people who come to him to shoot, always refusing to appear too impersonal.
This honest person in real life, but in the play played countless bad people, this treatment of feelings, playing the villain and accurate grasp of the teacher Hou Tianlai is really love and hate.
The most valuable thing is that whether he is a small fitter or a national-level actor now, he has never gossiped and never hyped himself.
Even variety shows and interviews can be pushed, so the old artists with both virtue and art are really admirable!
