"When did the actor become a profession where the back line had to be praised? The back line is the gun you went to the battlefield, can you tell me that you didn't have a gun in the trenches? How much do you not want a face? ”
At the forum of the Shanghai TV Festival, actor Wang Jinsong angrily denounced some young actors today as unprofessional.
As soon as this news came out, it triggered a hot discussion, and related topics were read by hundreds of millions of people in minutes. Netizens have expressed their recognition and support for Wang Jinsong's teacher, as the old drama bone of Wang Jinsong, the road of supporting roles he has walked for 32 years, some people praised him and said that he was always worried that the protagonist could not do him.
And he insists on acting when he should give his soul and memory to the whole, giving each character the weight of life. After 32 years of serious acting, finally in the role of Lin Yaodong in "Icebreaker Action", Wang Jinsong closed the stage he loved and received his own applause and flowers.
In 1986, 19-year-old Wang Jinsong, with the dream of becoming a good actor, received a re-examination notice from the Jiangsu Drama Academy, and he knew that he could not hide it. His father persuaded him to go to college or electricity, and he was not allowed to study acting under any circumstances, but he insisted on choosing this path he loved despite the persuasion of his parents.
True faith is rooted in the human heart and is not swayed by external forces. It was one such obsession that changed his life.
His father finally compromised and put 50 yuan on his desk. He packed his bags, got off the train, and in order to save money, he walked all the way to inquire, carrying a sack of luggage from south to north through the whole of Nanjing. All night, I didn't walk to school until dawn.
Wang Jinsong recalled in a later interview
"It was the longest road I've ever walked in my life, and when I got to my destination, I was exhausted, but I felt empowered because I knew that, no matter how hard it was, I got where I wanted to be, and I thought I had a chance to change my damn destiny here."
Yes, at that time, he probably thought that this was the longest road he had walked in his life, but he didn't know that the road to acting behind him was even longer and more arduous than this late night, and he even couldn't see the dawn for a while.
After entering the school, he realized that compared with these students who also had the same dream of performing, he was small, and he was a micro-micro, a micro-micro. He didn't even have the talent to act, and he often had to drag the tail of the class.
Once frustrated, he met Teacher Cheng Jun, and during the summer vacation, Teacher Cheng Jun took him to try all the male characters in "Thunderstorm", which can be described as teaching him and letting him understand sculpture, oil painting, music and other beautiful things related to art. It was then that he regained his faith.
Unfortunately, the road to acting is difficult, after graduating from the Jiangsu Theater Academy, Wang Jinsong was assigned to work in the Nanjing Repertory Theatre. And it wasn't as good as he thought it would be. The drama troupe is also very particular about ranking seniors, without any status, nor does it have a relationship with relatives, just as my father expected, in the troupe, it is to run errands, do some physical work, and there is no chance to really perform on stage. In the worst case, he was asked to stage a "wall" on stage.
Even so, he did not dare to be sloppy, and if he was a little lazy, he would be deducted 10 yuan for the performance fee. The monthly salary is only enough to eat until about the end of the month, can not afford to eat the canteen meals, often can not make ends meet, he can only spend a few cents more to buy some cracked flat bread, and then use boiled water to deal with life.
Such a dim and dark day lasted for three years, but fortunately, the regiment leader separated the data room into a room for Wang Jin to loosen up, in that dark room without light, the books and materials of the data were more like the sunshine in the cracks, more like the only spiritual pillar. As Xun Yu, played by Wang Jinsong, said in a line, in the long night of eternity, even if there is a faint light, it will make you involuntarily follow and die.
He spent his spare time flipping through the materials, and it was the accumulation of knowledge at that time, and when he actually performed in the future, he suddenly found that he could recall the characters he saw in the books he had turned over at that time, as well as the background of that era. When the two time nodes suddenly echoed at a certain moment, he must have been very grateful to himself at that time. The man we see today with a literary temperament is inseparable from those three years of hard reading.
In the 1990s, the film and television drama industry began to flourish, and TV dramas needed more actors than dramas. Although he received small roles at that time, compared with the previous difficult days, he could also gain knowledge step by step and improve his acting skills. Returning to the most realistic food and clothing problems, the quality of life has also been greatly improved.
It's really a wonderful thing to be understood, when you're curled up in a dark corner that you think no one can see, and he comes up with a lamp and says Can I sit next to you?
For Wang Jinsong, the person carrying this lamp is Fu Biao, and the two played the villain in "Waiting for You To Return", so they met. Fu Biao would also silently accompany Wang Jinsong to crouch on the side of the road to eat a box lunch, and said to him: "Jinsong, if we become famous in the future, we will never let people bully, and we will never bully others." ”
From that moment on, every time he looked back on the past, the scene of them squatting in the corner of the wall against the cold wind and eating a box lunch could make his eyes moist.
At that time, Fu Biao was relatively famous, Fu Biao was also a figure with a head and a face at that time, and the plays directed by Feng Xiaogang were basically completed by him and Ge You, and he was respected as "Biao Brother" in the entertainment industry, and he also wanted to help Wang Jinsong.
One day he said to Wang Jinsong very seriously, "You are a good actor, but staying in Nanjing all the time will bury your talent, you should go to Beijing, where you can better display your talent." ”
Wang Jinsong, who was a young man, had long been tempered by the hard days of the past, and now he only wanted to seek stability, food and clothing. If he went to Beijing, it would mean that those low days might be repeated, and he didn't want to live like that again.
But Fu Biao's words unveiled Wang Jinsong's fig leaf, "Do you have a lot of face now?", and Wang Jinsong, who was hit to the core, was suddenly hit, but this was the case. He also asked himself in his heart, the longest and darkest road I walked at the age of 19, the ultimate goal is really just to get to where I am today. When he asked himself, he probably had an answer, so he followed Fu Biao to Beijing.
The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now.
After that, Fu Biao took Wang Jinsong around Beijing to find a scene to shoot, and every time he saw a director, he praised Wang Jinsong directly: "He is my good friend, first-class acting skills, the key is that the price is not high, as long as you let him appear on camera, I can give you a free string of plays." Under the introduction of Fu Biao's step-by-step help, Wang Jinsong received a lot of scenes, and more and more directors noticed that he had once been a drop in the ocean.
Until 2004, there was a period of time when Wang Jinsong could not contact Fu Biao, and later Wang Jinsong learned that his old friend had become terminally ill, and Fu Biao was terminally ill and lying weakly on a hospital bed. Seeing the last side of Wang Jinsong, he still cared about his acting career and instructed: "Jinsong, you have to play the old student well, as long as you play the old student, you don't have to worry about it in this life." Wang Jinsong remembered this sentence for a lifetime, and also lived for a lifetime for this sentence. Even after more than ten years, Wang Jinsong still shed tears whenever he recalls this past.
Emperor Tian did not live up to the hard work, and several years of hard work also allowed Wang Jinsong to accumulate his own connections and resources. When director Zhang Li was preparing to shoot "Daming Dynasty 1566", the first thing he thought of was Wang Jinsong. Eunuch Yang Jinshui, because of this role, Wang Jinsong became famous in one battle. But all the viewers who have watched this TV series are all impressed by Wang Jinsong's acting skills.
In one of the scenes, the little eunuch wants to use a silver needle to prick Yang Jinshui, trying to test whether he is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, this link could have been specially handled, but Wang Jinsong let people stick more than ten centimeters of silver needles into the meat in order to pursue the real effect. More than forty needles, his whole face swollen due to rejection.
In another scene, the weather is cold, but it is necessary to shoot a summer scene, Yang Jinshui is escorted back to Beijing for interrogation. On a cold day, he was bare-chested and allowed buckets of cold water to be poured down from his head, and he was splashed with 12 buckets.
After the scene, he began to have a high fever, in order not to affect the next day's shooting, he drove out alone in the middle of the night to hang the hanging bottle, and did not disclose half a word to the director.
In the play, he uses his outstanding performance to play the character's viciousness and heavy love. He is known as "the first eunuch of Chinese TV drama in the past 30 years". Although it sounds awkward, it is the audience's greatest affirmation of his acting skills.
In an interview, he modestly and plainly mentioned:
Suppose on that day, I don't want to get acupuncture into my face with 40 needles, I'm not an actor, I can't be here today, and I'm not qualified to talk to you about acting.
After so many years of ups and downs, I realized the humility of life. This feeling can only be understood by Wang Jinsong himself, and it is said that he played the role of Yang Jinshui, but in fact, he also interpreted his life value in this role.
In "Icebreaker Action", Wang Jinsong plays a two-faced faction, mingchu, he is a highly respected village cadre, and in the dark, he is a big drug lord who controls the gloomy and vicious drug network in the village. The biggest feature of Lin Yaodong is stability, even if the heart is broken and panicked, but the surface is still calm.
Some actors act well, you have seen a few plays he played, you can remember him, some actors he played the role you remember all, but may not be able to recognize him in the sea of people, this is by the interpretation of the sculptural role of the character. Wang Jinsong is such an actor.
Some people commented on his acting skills like this: you see his real role, you think he can't play the villain; just see his negative role, you think he can't play the positive character, and after watching all his performances, you feel that there is no play that he can't control, although it is a supporting role, he still disassembles the role and re-pieces it together, it is so many years of persistence to understand the character and art, which has made him what he has achieved today.
So who is Wang Jinsong?
It is the Marquis of Yan in the "Langya List", who is strategic, upright, courageous and light-
He is a good-hearted, loyal, resourceful, and fearless Xun Yu in the "Alliance of Military Divisions";
It is "Ideal Shines on China" China's honest and honest old money with a great personality.
Strangers such as jade, gentlemen are unparalleled in the world, Teacher Wang Jinsong has always been a Confucian predecessor in the circle, even if it is a long era of supporting roles, he can still be alone in the impetuous industry rules of the current traffic era, standing upright, relying on his ultimate pursuit of details and the strength of love.
Those who have lofty ideals have their own ways, and those who are ignorant have only difficulties. If he didn't make every character perfect, he would regret it. In every role, he is trying to give him life force. A bad hand to play the king of the explosion, the road has been walked for more than thirty years, please always believe that no cold winter will not pass. There is no spring that will not come.
