Debuting at the age of 10 and winning the Golden Rooster Award at the age of 47, Wu Gang's road to fame is full of stories of his life.
"You can't be too eager to succeed, everything has a process of accumulating energy, as long as you are ready, the results are natural."
Wu Gang's unassuming personality seems to be a clear stream in the materialistic entertainment circle, and he has always been down-to-earth and speaks with his works.
Until 2017, Wu Gang was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the role of Li Dakang in the TV series "In the Name of the People", thus becoming completely popular.
In an interview with Wu Gang's feelings after becoming famous, the media said: "I don't think I am a hit, in addition to the role itself, I am still myself." I also don't belong to the late stages, and it is not only red that can represent an actor. ”
For Wu Gang, every work he has participated in since his debut is every answer sheet he has handed in.
In their own field, everyone wants to make some achievements from it.
But Wu Gang, as a senior in the circle, he is leading by example, always reminding the popular traffic students not to blindly change themselves in order to follow the trend.
01 In order to become an actor, I took a lot of detours
Wu Gang was born into a military family and grew up under militarized management.
His parents had high expectations for Wu Gang, and even arranged a future path for him at one point.
When Wu Gang was 10 years old, because of the sudden situation of the small actors in the crew, he was mistakenly pulled to act as an extra.
Wu Gang, who was originally confused, quickly followed the staff around him and entered the state of filming.
At the request of the director, he shot several times in a row, and he did not have the slightest disgust in his heart, but shot better and better.
He was completely amused, just like the school debriefing performance, and did not understand the concept of filming - actors.
But it was this chance of chance that made Wu Gang and the profession of actor related.
After a period of ignorance, Wu Gang began to look forward to standing on the stage and performing, and being able to appear on the screen.
But in that era, the actor was a "eat a meal, not a meal" job, and his parents repeatedly blocked Wu Gang's idea.
Wu Gang, out of love and yearning for actors, let the persuasion of his family not be able to make him retreat.
He applied for the Central Academy of Drama twice, but unfortunately, both ended in failure.
Wu Gang, who did not accept defeat in his heart, did not reach out to his family for money and took the road arranged by his family.
In order to support himself and continue to pursue his dream of being an actor, Wu Gang worked a lot of odd jobs, got up early every day and went dark, and took many detours.
During that time, he was often so tired that he forgot to eat, but he still carried his textbooks with him and studied at any time.
Perhaps it was the obsession in his heart that accompanied him through the most difficult days.
"This time, I have to get in, I want to act too much."
Wu Gang, who did not live up to his efforts, finally entered the Beijing People's Art Theater as he wished with excellent results and became a drama actor.
Wu Gang himself has a unique temperament, which emanates from his bones, and is the one who stands out in the talented art.
02 Confused things that are concerned
After years of persistence, Wu Gang finally realized his dream, but when the dream shone into reality, he found the cruelty of reality.
"Your external image is very good, this is your advantage, in this industry, speaking with strength and work is the last word."
Wu Gang, who has just entered the school, has always kept this sentence of the teacher in mind.
While trying to solidify his professional skills, he also warned himself not to entertain resources and to learn to screen scripts.
Wu Gang not only has a clear plan for his career, but also starts with his life partner.
As the class leader, Wu Gang sparked love for Yue Xiuqing, who was also a class cadre.
Yue Xiuqing looks good, has an eclectic personality, and can be a buddy with the students in the class, which is very refreshing.
Because the two need to work together often in the class, they have more time in private contact, and over time, they will have a good feeling for each other.
However, Yue Xiuqing, who only wanted to study, had not yet realized the weight of Wu Gang in her heart.
Wu Gang is not good at words, but he always puts his concern for Yue Xiuqing into action.
He would silently keep in mind the food and taste that Yue Xiuqing liked to eat, and every time he went out, he would bring her delicious and small gifts in a different way.
In the end, the two were able to walk together, all thanks to the help of ice cream.
Yue Xiuqing likes to eat ice cream, and after Wu Gang learned about it, he specially bought it for her.
Because the weather was a little cold at that time, Wu Gang was afraid that the ice cream would freeze his mouth if it was too hard, so he covered his mouth with his own hand for half a day.
It was also such a heart-warming move that made Yue Xiuqing cry and laugh at the same time, and felt Wu Gang's sincerity.
Soon, the two began to communicate, but their low profile was not discovered by the classmates until they were about to graduate.
In order to please Yue Xiuqing, Wu Gang took out all the pocket money he had saved for a long time, borrowed some of Yue Xiuqing's money, and bought her a coat worth 350 yuan.
Lang has a concubine's intentional love, so that they feel that the days together always pass quickly, and they feel content to drink water and full.
They spend almost every other time together except for class, so much so that every time there is a stage play, Wu Gang sometimes pushes away.
After a long time, other students made up for the stage, so that Wu Gang played a passerby for 3 years.
Of course, Wu Gang and Yue Xiuqing did not take this matter to heart, after all, it was a good thing that other students had been trained.
And the acting skills of the two of them are only a matter of time proof.
It is said that "graduation season is the season of breakup", but Wu Gang He Yue Xiuqing put the marriage thing on the itinerary.
In 1991, the two entered the palace of marriage under the witness of their families.
In the same year, Wu Gang appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and cooperated with Guo Da in a sketch program, which was called a very high starting point.
Wu Gang, who had received attention from the outside world, resolutely chose his family in terms of career and family.
After marriage, Yue Xiuqing gave birth to a son for Wu Gang, and the originally happy little family of two was also successfully upgraded to a family of three.
03 Willing to make way for his wife's career
During his wife's pregnancy, Wu Gang consciously reduced his workload and wholeheartedly accompanied Yue Xiuqing through a special journey in his life.
Even after the birth of his son, he supported his wife's comeback and strived to go to a higher level in his career.
In the entertainment industry, especially for actresses, the golden time period of the rising period is very short, which can be described as fleeting.
What cannot be grasped can only be replaced by waves of new faces, just like a big wave of sand.
The married life of "male inside and female outside" is completely Wu Gang's deep love for his wife.
"We are an equal relationship, Yue Xiuqing is pregnant in October, gave birth to a son, has paid a lot, I can no longer deprive her of the right to shoot."
For Wu Gang, it is precisely because he knows the importance of actors in their lives that she can empathize with his wife.
After that, Yue Xiuqing did not live up to Wu Gang's expectations,
Of course, Yue Xiuqing did not live up to Wu Gang's expectations, she has starred in a number of film and television works, and the title of rating queen has begun to start.
Yue Xiuqing also has a certain reputation in the circle, and with the support of Wu Gang, her career is getting smoother and smoother.
On the other hand, Wu Gang, who taught his husband and son at home and took care of internal affairs, would take time to return to the stage of renyi and make cameo appearances in several drama works.
Wu Gang, who has no popularity in the circle and no resources and time, will also feel inferior in the face of strong women and weak family relationships.
Every time there is a contradiction, Yue Xiuqing will take the initiative to lower her identity, thanking Wu Gang for his efforts all along, without Wu Gang there would be no her today.
Wu Gang was very touched to see his wife's approach, and then he did not mention this matter again.
Married life is different from love, in addition to the wind and snow, it is more mixed with chai rice oil and salt and the trivialities of life.
Only mutual trust and support between husband and wife can manage a good relationship.
In order to improve with Wu Gang, Yue Xiuqing often discussed the script with Wu Gang late at night and figured out the connotation of the role.
As his son grew older, Wu Gang had the opportunity to return to the stage and was addicted to drama.
However, Wu Gang, who had left the screen for many years, found that the show business circle had undergone tremendous changes.
The big reshuffle in the industry, coupled with the requirements of the actors themselves, Wu Gang was not sure for a moment that he should work hard.
Once upon a time, you cleared all the obstacles for me and made me shoot without distraction, so now it is time for me to advise you.
Yue Xiuqing found the resources for Wu Gang, helped him screen the roles, and let Wu Gang make his own decisions.
In 2004, he starred in a negative role about "The Killer", which is completely different from the usual image.
The contrast between the characters' fierce hearts and fierce hands, coupled with the ruthlessness of their eyes, are all displayed between Wu Gang's hands and feet.
Although the work did not bring more attention to Wu Gang, his performance in the play is obvious to all.
There is also "Latent", which is not popular in the drama, and Lu Qiaoshan, the director of the intelligence department played by Wu Gang in the play.
Lu Qiaoshan calculated everything, but finally lifted a stone to drop his own foot, and the scene of Wu Gang's drama made the director directly addicted.
Wu Gang came with one work after another, and he used his professionalism to convey his ideas.
Perhaps it is the bad luck of the times, Wu Gang, who has been tepid in the circle, until The launch of Li Dakang, let the audience notice the existence of this powerful actor.
But in Wu Gang's view, his persistence in the actor for many years has proved his success.
Director Chen Kaige has publicly praised Wu Gang's acting skills, calling him "Wu Yi tiao".
04 For the sake of youth forever, crazy plastic surgery
It is a fortunate thing to be able to identify and engage in the profession you love in life.
Wu Gang, as an old actor with acting skills, the audience was surprised to find that his appearance had also changed while paying attention to his works.
Wu Gang's Korean-style large double eyelids have been questioned by netizens more than once, because the local changes are too large and too obvious, and it is suspected that they have just been cut in recent years.
Netizens have said: Seeing the appearance of Teacher Wu Gang, I feel very anxious.
Some netizens even compared Wu Gang's previous works and found that he was now performing, his expression was obviously stiff, and his face was extremely unnatural.
Some actors belong to the type of God who appreciates food, but because of a momentary blind obedience, their acting careers are going downhill.
In fact, an old actor like Wu Gang does not have to do this, after all, he is an actor who speaks with strength.
If it is for the sake of the character, as a spectator, we need to affirm his professionalism.
But if it is only to satisfy their desire to retain their youth, they may be able to add to the snake.
Although Wu Gang has never publicly clarified this aspect, many netizens still expressed that they did not understand such a practice.
If Wu Gang had listened to his family's arrangement and worked step by step, his life would have been a different beginning.
Maybe it's the same excitement, but give Wu Gang another chance to choose again, I believe he will still choose the same path without hesitation.
Perhaps every person born in this world, all the lives have long been arranged, what kind of work to do, what kind of people to experience, and what kind of results to achieve.
Nowadays, it seems that aside from the change in Wu Gang's appearance, his personality charm has conquered many netizens.
Wu Gang has dedicated most of his life to art, doing his best to achieve the ultimate and bring surprises to the audience again and again.
The married life he and his wife walked hand in hand, from the beginning of campus love to the moment of witnessing each other's glory, every scene is vividly remembered.
Their love is also a good story in the entertainment industry, debuting for so many years, there has been no scandal.
A good marriage is the result of each other's achievements, but also the result of careful management.
Wu Gang seems to be confused, but in fact he is a real person who understands, and his great instrument is also worthy of the name.
Heaven is fair, it can see all your efforts, and believe that the efforts and results must be proportional.
Everything is the best arrangement, I hope Wu Gang can bring us more and better works.
