On November 30, a photo of 61-year-old Meng Gengcheng, dressed in a red and black plaid shirt, looked natural, and his hands seemed to describe martial arts-related content.
Judging from the recent photos, his body is slightly blessed, his small belly is obvious, although his mental state is very good, but his baldness is serious, and a large piece of hair on his head is slippery, which looks very old, which is a great contrast with our impression.
Speaking of Meng Gengcheng's name, many people may not know, in the 95 version of "Water Margin", the drum he played was moved from time to time, leaving a deep impression on people.
When he went to Beijing for an interview that year, because of his height, he did not have the opportunity to participate in the two character roles of Wu Song and Lin Chong, and after some screening, Mao Sui introduced himself, hoping that he could play the drum on the riot.
The director gave him a chance to audition, and in just ten minutes of audition time, a time shift that was not good-looking and agile made the director shine.
With the launch of "Water Margin", Meng Gengcheng's "time shift" was well known to the public for a while. Meng Gengcheng has such a skill, but also from his family background.
Coming from a martial arts family, he practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child, and at the age of 13 he won the stick championship in the National Wushu Convention.
Because of this achievement, it was a great honor to be selected to the national team with Jet Li and participated in various competitions. At that time, it was the hot period of martial arts, and with this hot current, Meng Gengcheng also took advantage of the situation to catch fire.
During the audition, Meng Gengcheng was valued by a director in Hong Kong and filmed the first film in his life as a male protagonist, "Yungang Ranger", which made him embark on the road of acting.
At that time, "Shaolin Temple" made Jet Li popular all over the country, but in fact, the director of the Shaolin Temple chose Jet Li and Meng Gengcheng, but because Meng Gengcheng did not choose to star in the Shaolin Temple at that time, he chose another play, resulting in another path of life.
Although they did not get the chance to "Shaolin Temple", the two later cooperated in another play, which is "North and South Shaolin", in which the two exchanged acting skills and became friends, and since then the two have also created different roles in the film industry.
Although life is not as glorious as Jet Li, Meng Gengcheng can also be regarded as a smooth road, although obscure, but still participated in a lot of film and television works.
After "Water Margin", Meng Gengcheng starred in a well-known historical theme TV series "Bright Sword", but in fact, when he starred in "Bright Sword", he was recommended by the director's friend, and the director also promised him to audition because he thought of his friend's face.
Unexpectedly, after the audition, Meng Gengcheng's temperament was very much the director's heart, and he did not expect that a Chinese could play the Japanese so well, whether it was the demeanor or temperament, showing the spiritual outlook of a Japanese soldier between his hands and feet.
Although Meng Gengcheng's role in this drama is not much, the Japanese image he created is only wonderful, a sinister, scheming villain's face, let him play the role of Iriski sanchi, and even many people think that the crew invited a Japanese.
Because of the interpretation of this role, we cannot deny and cannot be doubted that his acting skills have nothing to do with whether he is famous or not, and whether he is red or not.
At that time, Meng Gengcheng, who was devoted to the study of martial arts, not only lost his hand with "Shaolin Temple", but also had no choice but to miss it with the 86 version of "Journey to the West", when the crew admired his stick technique, but he did not care too much, hoping that he could improve himself in martial arts, so he gave up and failed to become the actor of Sun Wukong.
Although he failed to achieve the classic role, Meng Gengcheng did not regret it, and he was always worthy of what he chose.
Career tepid he, but in the family is very happy, and after marrying his wife, has his own daughter, netizens once joked that Meng girl looks like Ma Yili. Now the daughter has gradually grown up, making the family seem more warm and happy.
Because of the rise between his years, there may be a lot of scripts will not come back to him to shoot, Meng Gengcheng decided to open his own martial arts school, and the name was chosen to play the "Shi Qian" to name, called "Shi Qian Wen Wu School".
Because of his love for martial arts, Meng Gengcheng has studied the essence of martial arts, not only learning various types of kung fu, but also following the spirit of ShangWu.
Martial arts has never been to hurt others, from ancient times to the present, martial arts are also changing with the progress of the times, it is no longer a self-defense weapon, more functions are for the purpose of strengthening the body.
Through his own school, Meng Gengcheng strives to carry forward the spirit of martial arts and is willing to devote the rest of his life to carrying forward the spirit of martial arts.
Because his father's previous life was very difficult, it can be said that there was a meal without a meal, and because of malnutrition, his father was even more emaciated, his physique was very weak, and he often could not get out of bed because of illness.
It is precisely because there have been such hard days in the family, my father does not want to bring more burdens to the family, and when he is well, he makes up his mind and begins to learn martial arts, hoping to strengthen his physique through martial arts.
With such a perseverance, my father insisted on exercising every day to enhance his physique, and then his body became stronger and stronger, and his resistance was greatly increased.
After practicing martial arts for so long, martial arts not only changed their father's physical fitness, but also made their lives better. At that time, it can be said that it was an era of soldiers and horses, who knew a little martial arts, at least self-defense, and protected their own safety.
Martial arts also became the best self-defense weapon for people at that time, and my father also considered the business opportunities in this and seized the opportunity to open a martial arts hall and accepted many apprentices who wanted to learn martial arts.
Life at home also got better and better, and then the father got married and had four children, of which Meng Gengcheng was the youngest son.
Every day when I hear about martial arts, I naturally have a little talent for learning martial arts, coupled with the boy's love for martial arts, after several years of tempering, Meng Gengcheng stands out from the four brothers.
Whether it is the time shift in "Water Margin" or the real Meng Gengcheng, the reason why we can all be deeply impressed is because of the strength in his bones that does not accept defeat, but also because he is a Shanxi person, and the humble and cautious of Shanxi people flows in his blood.
Among them, there is no lack of his personal cultivation and cultivation, respect for others, even if his own status is humble, he still has the strength to not accept defeat, and he has more lofty wishes!
So no matter how the times and trends advance by leaps and bounds, we will still find that there are many outstanding talents revealed and let everyone know.
A martial arts wizard, a generation of martial arts artists, although he can not achieve fame, but for the sake of his martial arts spirit, willing to dedicate himself to every child who comes to learn martial arts, Meng Gengcheng is indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and should let the younger generations learn deeply.
