在横店影视城，据说有近20万名群演，有太多的型男靓女，他们在横店出演各种群众角色，充当路人、士兵、丫鬟、仆人、学生等无名无姓的角色，没有一句台词，有的甚至都没有露脸的画面。
Despite this, they still have a dream of stardom in their hearts.
Among these extras, there are many students who have graduated from film and television schools, even if they are from the class, it is difficult to get a weighty role, let alone those who have not studied acting, perhaps for them, group acting is just an ordinary job.
However, there are exceptions in these group performances, and when it comes to the examples from extras to well-known actors, most people first think of these two people, the male is Wang Baoqiang, and the female is Zhao Liying.
The two of them can be said to be the representatives of grassroots stars, initially from the countryside to work hard, without any performance learning experience, and finally through their own efforts, finally realized their dream of stardom.
Their success is not accidental, and when you learn about their path to stardom, you will understand.
Wang Baoqiang's road to stardom
Wang Baoqiang was born on April 29, 1984 in Daita Village, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, to parents who were authentic farmers and whose family lived on farming.
At that time, the family was crammed into an adobe house, which was particularly simple, leaking rain in the summer and wind in the winter, and due to the poverty of the family, Wang Baoqiang's clothes when he was a child were worn by his brother and sister.
Although he was poor, Wang Baoqiang's father taught his children from an early age, which is the same sentence: "Poor, we have a poor ambition, we can't take the crooked and evil path, we must take the right path." In this way, I am also steadfast in my heart. ”
When Wang Baoqiang was 8 years old, the village brigade released a movie called "Shaolin Temple", he watched the blood boiling, since then he became fascinated with Jet Li in the movie, and a bold idea came out of his mind, he went to learn martial arts and become a kung fu superstar like Jet Li in the future.
One day, he plucked up the courage to propose his ideas to his parents, but his father rejected them.
My father said: "Our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and if you have the ability to be a big star, you still honestly go to school and find a good job in the future, that is my greatest wish." ”
Wang Baoqiang said to his father: "As long as you let me learn martial arts, in the future I will marry my daughter-in-law and buy a house, I will not have to worry about you, and as long as I succeed, I will earn money to support you." ”
Listening to his son's words, the father was a little crying and laughing, he felt that his son was too naïve, but he could not help him, after Wang Baoqiang chanted for half a month, the father finally agreed, and took Wang Baoqiang to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan to learn martial arts.
The father thought that after the child learned martial arts for a period of time, he would not be able to bear the hardships and come back to continue school, but he did not expect that Wang Baoqiang learned martial arts at the Shaolin Temple and stayed for 6 years.
In these 6 years, for his dream of kung fu stardom, he got up at five o'clock every day, began to kick his legs, squat his horse, run up and down the mountain, and practiced the basic skills of martial arts, although it was very bitter, he still insisted, and it was in the days of the Shaolin Temple that he tempered his strong willpower.
Six years later, wang Baoqiang, who was less than 15 years old, left the Shaolin Temple, and with the 500 yuan given by his parents, he went to Beijing alone to start a life of group performances.
At that time, the development of the film and television industry was far less developed than it is now, there were fewer crews shooting film and television dramas, so there were not many extras needed, and for the mass actors, what they had to do every day was to wait for the crew to be selected, and in terms of remuneration, relative to the waiting time they paid, it was also relatively meager.
After waiting for a period of time, Wang Baoqiang was not selected once, but he was still not dead-hearted, and every day he came to the group performance gathering place early, and at night, he was afraid that there was a group performance of the night drama that needed the night play, and he was the last to leave.
A middle-aged man can't stand it, he said to Wang Baoqiang: "Child, you don't delay time here, I have been doing group performances for 7 or 8 years, until now I can barely support myself, if you want to be a star, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, you are still young, I advise you to quickly find a long-term job, don't delay your good time here." ”
These words also really spoke to Wang Baoqiang's heart, seeing that the 500 yuan he brought was almost spent, and in the past 1 month, he had not earned a penny, and he had to reconsider the problem of food and clothing in the future.
So, after consideration, he decided to go to the construction site during the day to work as a temporary worker, and at night to seek group performance opportunities. Later, he was indeed selected by the crew, but it was only by chance, and there were fewer than 5 opportunities in a month.
In those days, Wang Baoqiang was very confused, his appearance was not outstanding, no education, no background, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his dream of being an actor, he had countless thoughts of giving up, but he did not want to go home and accept the number of his parents, so he was still insisting.
A few months later, with the development of the film and television industry, more and more crews were stationed, and at this time, the demand for mass actors was much greater, Wang Baoqiang could receive at least 10 group performance opportunities a month, so he stopped working and officially began full-time group performance work.
Whether it is a pedestrian on the road, or a soldier on the battlefield, or even a role lying on the corpse, Wang Baoqiang will fight for it, especially the crew of some costume TV series, in the hot summer, he needs to wear thick costumes and wait for filming all day, but he never feels bitter.
Every time he gets an opportunity, Wang Baoqiang takes every role very seriously, even if it is a back shadow, he will use all his strength to really fall and really act, and he will be an ordinary group performance in the crew as a martial artist.
Kung Fu pays off, and two years later, in the industry of group performances, everyone knows that there is a small man who can bear hardships.
After 2 years of experience, Wang Baoqiang also knew the future of group acting, at most from a mass actor to a special actor, showing several actions in film and television dramas, saying a few lines, as for becoming a formal actor, such a thing did not happen at that time.
But a miracle happened in 2000.
When he was 16 years old, there was a "Blind Well" crew to find the actors, when I heard that this time is a very important role, all the group actors went to the interview scene, but when they learned that it was the shooting conditions of "Blind Well", it was to be filmed in the coal mine, because the coal mine will have all kinds of dangers, and many people have retreated.
Of the hundreds of group actors who came to the interview, there were less than 50 people left, and when it was Wang Baoqiang's turn to introduce himself, he was nervous, after all, this role was different from the previous group roles.
He said: "My name is Wang Baoqiang, from Xingtai Assembly Tower Village, Hebei Province, I have not played a role with lines before, I am not very good at introducing myself, I just have a martial art. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he turned over a few heels and posed as a martial arts practitioner, which made the audience laugh.
Other group actors all think that Wang Baoqiang is here to be funny, since he can only do martial arts, then go to the crew that needs martial arts, and it is obviously inappropriate to come to this crew.
When the interview was over, I didn't expect that his thick and honest personality was favored by director Li Yang, Wang Baoqiang was very simple, looking humble, and it was suitable for such a role.
Director Li Yang temporarily decided to let Wang Baoqiang do the starring role, it can be said that director Li Yang is the first nobleman in Wang Baoqiang's life.
For this hard-won opportunity, Wang Baoqiang was a little flattered, suddenly became the lead actor, with so many lines, it was indeed a huge challenge for him. The cultural level is not high, and even when reading the script, there are many lines that I don't recognize. To this end, Wang Baoqiang also bought a dictionary.
In this way, after several months of shooting, Wang Baoqiang studied while acting, and finally completed the shooting, for his acting skills, director Li Yang made a high evaluation, saying that he could not do without his attitude of taking each small role seriously before.
In 2003, when the film was released, it caused a huge response, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer with his performance in the film, when Wang Baoqiang, who went to receive the award, did not even have a decent dress, and the crew also provided Wang Baoqiang with a black Zhongshan suit.
Although he won the award, many people did not know who Wang Baoqiang really was, his life did not change much, and he returned to the days of doing group performances.
In 2004, Chen Guofu as a producer and director Feng Xiaogang cooperated in "No Thief in the World", the "silly root" in the play was originally prepared for Xia Yu, but Xia Yu could not come because of the schedule conflict, when Chen Guofu saw Wang Baoqiang, who was thick and simple in "Blind Well", it was very in line with the role in the play, and immediately recommended him to Feng Xiaogang.
What makes Wang Baoqiang unbelievable is that director Feng Xiaogang actually asked him to shoot a scene, and this movie is "No Thief in the World". When he learned that he would act with top actors such as Andy Lau, Rene Liu and Ge You, his heart was happy, but he was more worried, nervous, and afraid.
In the filming of "No Thief in the World", it seems that the play is not the simple silly root role, but Wang Baoqiang himself, he is almost the true color, does not need too much performance modification, according to his own heart to act, you can.
And it is this role that makes Wang Baoqiang well-known in the industry, for Wang Baoqiang, it is undoubtedly "lucky", the first film made, accidentally took a Golden Horse Award for the best newcomer, and then the second play was directed by Feng Xiaogang into his own New Year film, and with the super lineup of stars and moons.
In 2007, "Soldier Assault" is the key to Wang Baoqiang's success, Xu Sanduo's role has conquered countless audiences in front of the TV, after playing "Soldier Assault", he began to have a sense of security, knowing that he has the ability to eat the actor's bowl of rice, and before this, he has not been confident.
However, at the same time that Wang Bao was strong and fiery, there were also many bad voices, saying that he would only play thick and honest roles, basically playing the true color, if he played other roles, he was not competent at all.
This was the thing that bothered Wang Baoqiang the most, and after that, he tried to avoid the role of thick and honest until the emergence of a drama.
In 2011, he starred in a TV series "My Father is a Bench", and finally got the opportunity to shoot a martial arts scene, and his dream of being a kung fu star was activated again, and it was precisely because of this play that he had always had a good and honest impression.
When shooting a martial arts scene, Wang Baoqiang needs to roll on the board full of nails, which may cause injury, so the director asked him if he needed to find a stand-in.
Wang Baoqiang said: "Director, I myself was born in Wuxing, if just because I am now a little famous, I will go to find a stand-in, then I will lose my original intention of being an actor, I can come myself, you have to believe me." ”
That scene was filmed several times, and when it was over, Wang Baoqiang's body was full of nail marks, and there were several places where there was blood, everyone looked in the eyes and hurt in their hearts, but Wang Baoqiang smiled and said to continue shooting the next one.
Since this drama, the audience has completely changed their views on Wang Baoqiang, and then he has starred in "Hello!" Mr. Tree", "Man in the Road", "Tai 囧" and other movies, each of which is a big fire, and his superb acting skills have also won various awards, until now, he has been the 8th domestic 10 billion box office actor.
Unfortunately, when Wang Baoqiang's career was good, there were problems in the marriage.
On August 14, 2016, Wang Baoqiang posted a divorce statement on social networking sites, saying that he was absolutely loyal, but could not tolerate the extramarital affair between his wife Ma Rong and agent Song Zhe, so he decided to dissolve the marriage.
The most intolerable thing for a man is that his wife betrays him, let alone his wife and agent betraying him at the same time. They were once the closest and most trusted people of his own, and this incident made Wang Baoqiang once indulge in pain.
Wang Baoqiang once said in an interview: "In my mind, marriage is more important than career, marriage is a lifetime, but career has ups and downs. If the marriage is happy and stable, even if the career encounters storms, there can still be a stable harbor to dock. If the family is unstable, even if the career is prosperous, there will be a fear that is difficult to control. ”
Fortunately, there is also the encouragement of relatives and friends, after a period of awakening, he feels that he can't be depressed because of the changes in his family, and he must cheer up and continue to bring good works to the audience who like him.
Since then, he has finally come out of the haze.
纵观王宝强的演艺之路，虽然他的婚姻不是很完美，但是他对待事业的态度，却是值得很多人学习的，虽然不是科班出身，但是凭借着对表演的喜爱，不断努力拼搏，最终也是让自己在演绎圈子里有了重要的位置。
Some people may say that Wang Baoqiang's road to fame is a coexistence of opportunity and luck, but lucky people also need their own "strength" to be able to jump to fame.
赵丽颖的明星之路
Speaking of the group evolving into a big star, in addition to Wang Baoqiang, I have to mention Zhao Liying, before she became popular, like Wang Baoqiang, she had no theater performance experience, and also experienced a long period of group performance, behind the bright and beautiful, it is also countless days and nights of dedication and persistence.
How did Zhao Liying, who is now very popular, get on the road of acting?
On October 16, 1987, Zhao Liying was born in a peasant family in Langfang, Hebei Province, and from an early age, she especially liked to dance, sing, and her sweet looks, and everyone around her thought that she could engage in literary and artistic work after she was long.
But in Zhao Liying's heart, she does not think so, since she was a child, she has longed for the career of flight attendant, and when she was in college, she also specially enrolled in the flight attendant major.
But the ideal is always very full, the reality is very cruel, after graduating from college, for various reasons, she lost the dream of being a flight attendant, in order to survive in the big city, she had to go to work to earn money, so she went to do sales work.
But after working for a period of time, Zhao Liying was not very satisfied with the life at that time, her parents saved money and used to give themselves out of college, and now a meager salary, supporting themselves has become a problem, let alone repaying her parents, this will be very filial piety, she decided to rethink the road ahead.
Since she is beautiful and can sing and dance, why not try the direction of literature and art, after a period of consideration, she packed her bags and embarked on the road to Hengdian.
In the days of doing group performances, she and Wang Baoqiang, also experienced the most difficult period, fortunately, she also has a beautiful appearance, although the opportunity for group performances is much better than Wang Baoqiang, but the situation is not much better.
By chance, she saw a talent show on TV, so with her own dream, she immediately signed up, and this decision also changed her life.
This draft brought together China's famous Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Jizhong three famous directors, when Zhao Liying was a member of the Feng guide group, at that time, unlike other students with professional qualifications, there are urban girls dressed, all she has is the sincerity and reality of rural children.
But with her unremitting efforts, she still got Feng Xiaogang's appreciation, and finally through the vote of netizens, she won the championship of Feng Xiaogang's group in one fell swoop.
Zhao Liying has always been grateful for Ma Zong's support and Feng Dao's kindness. After Zhao Liying won the championship, she participated in the filming of the advertisement directed by Feng Xiaogang, and also added Huayi Brothers Agency.
Although Zhao successfully stepped into the entertainment circle with the help of Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang only took her to the beginning, and the later road still had to go on his own.
After joining Huayi Brothers, Zhao Liying received several months of acting training, and she thought that her acting road was about to begin, but unfortunately, the road to acting was far from being as simple as she thought.
Because Huayi Brothers was a well-known agency in China at that time, there were many well-known actors in the company, like Zhao Liying, who was not from a science class, and did not have any works, just a champion of the draft, not enough for her to participate in a very good role.
From 2006 to 2011, she participated in no less than 16 TV series, helplessly all of which are small roles, nothing more than passerby A or passerby B, and there are roles such as Ya Gui, basically some inconspicuous roles, and their own days of group acting, not much different, not so much as becoming an actor, in fact, it is just a dragon set.
But Zhao Liying did not get discouraged by this, for each small role, she attaches great importance to it, especially to play some of the roles of the beard, many actors who play the role of "mane", think that they are a background person, so they completely give up expression management and body management.
But Zhao Liying is different, she will follow the requirements of the plot, with the actions of other leading actors, make the expression that should be there, and at the end of each shooting, the director will always praise this clever little girl.
And in the crew, other actors who run dragon sets, as long as the director shouts cards, sits in a cool place to rest, while she stands while watching the performances of other actors, imitating other people's professional performances from time to time.
That period of running the dragon set was very hard for Zhao Liying, but she was very optimistic, sharing her experience on the social platform, telling her about herself as a supporting role in a certain drama, meeting the seniors in the show business circle, learning a lot of things, or sending some inspirational texts.
There are many strange netizens who leave messages saying, "As soon as you see it, you feel very spirited", "Beautiful eyes can talk", "Star face", "Long and beautiful, and so hard, look forward to the day when you become the lead actor" and so on.
In this way, Zhao Liying ran the dragon set for up to 6 years, learning day after day, which also made her acting skills improve by leaps and bounds, and finally ushered in an opportunity.
In 2011, the director of "New Zhu Gege" invited Zhao Liying to play the role of "Qing'er", when Zhao Liying became more and more confident after several years of polishing.
In the whole play, although the role of "Qing'er" is not much, she is the most brilliant one, officially because of this role, let her capture a lot of fans, this time the real sense of the temporary appearance, completely changed her role of running dragon set.
Because of the brilliant performance of the role of "Qing'er", Zhao Liying ushered in the appreciation of the famous screenwriter Yu Zheng, she signed a contract with Yu Zheng's agency, starred in the "Legend of Lu Zhen" that made her a big hit, and the Lu Zhen she played in this drama is actually very similar to her experience, step by step from the bottom, and finally became a successful person.
This drama made Zhao Liying completely popular, at that time Zhao Liying was also twenty-five or six years old, has passed the youngest years of a female star, and after that, "Flowers and Bones" directly made Zhao Liying completely popular as a top star in the entertainment industry.
Because of the rapid popularity, like many popular female stars, Zhao Liying has also attracted a lot of black powder, saying that Zhao Liying is not from the class, or a flower bottle that becomes popular by beauty, and even some people say that Zhao Liying's popular means is not simple.
There are also fans who stand up for Zhao Liying, saying that "Zhao Liying is from a rural family, graduated from secondary school is not an acting professional, the talent show debuted, has been from the little girl to the female number one, the career is like the day in the sky, this is the result of her efforts."
In the face of online violence being hacked to the point of no end, she once confidently and strongly said: "It doesn't matter, other people's doubts are the driving force for my progress, one day I can prove myself, instead of explaining, it is better to spend time on the work, I hope to use my own acting to impress those who question me." ”
In 2014, at the 10th Golden Eagle Television Arts Festival, Zhao Liying, with the absolute advantage of total votes 21894667, indisputably became the Golden Eagle Goddess of the 2014 Golden Eagle Festival and became the most popular actress, which is undoubtedly the biggest affirmation for her.
At the award ceremony, the new goddess wore a light gold dress, which added a bit of freshness to the solemnity compared to the golden goddess outfits of previous editions.
Zhao Liying also said that she has come all the way, no matter how much suffering, I am willing to try, I need a chance to prove myself, do not easily let me seize an opportunity, otherwise I will firmly grasp it and will not give up.
In today's big red, Zhao Liying has not forgotten that she is a rural child, she also funded the construction of roads for her hometown village, she said that her parents once told her that no matter how red she is, she must not forget Ben.
At the same time as her career is good, Zhao Liying has also gained her own happiness in love.
October 16, 2018, this day is Zhao Liying's 31st birthday. It was also on this day that Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng directly posted their marriage certificates on their respective Microblogs, officially announcing the news of their marriage.
2019年1月1日，冯绍峰发文：“知否知否，应是一家三口”，随后赵丽颖回应：“等候等候，恭迎2019”，夫妻二人的官宣，即将迎来一家三口的甜蜜生活。
On March 8, 2019, Feng Shaofeng posted a post announcing that his wife Zhao Liying had given birth to a son.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long...
On the morning of April 23, 2021, Zhao Liying Studio and Feng Shaofeng Studio simultaneously announced that Ms. Zhao Liying and Mr. Feng Shaofeng had decided to break up peacefully and end the marriage relationship, and had recently gone through the relevant procedures; the two would continue to assume the responsibilities of parents in the future, jointly raising and accompanying the child's growth.
This news was exposed, for the reasons for divorce, there are many opinions, but it is no longer important, once beautiful is enough, after the divorce of Zhao Liying, came back to start a new life.
群演背后的反思
总的来说，通过王宝强和赵丽颖的明星之路，我们可以看出，他们的成功，并不是偶然的，都是自己的努力成功的，也许努力不一定有结果，但不努力，肯定不会有结果！
有很多怀抱着明星梦的人，在历经长时间的群演生活之后，梦想就会变得越来越渺茫，不是每个男群演都能成为王宝强，也不是每个女群演都能变成赵丽颖。
As for the group performances of those Hengdians, as well as the men and women who graduate from the film and television academy every year, how many people can stand out like Zhao Liying and Wang Baoqiang?
This is a question worth pondering and exploring.
