Compared to today's small fresh meat,
Wang Xingang on the screen at that time, in addition to being a handsome man loved by the public,
There is also the reputation of the first soldier on the screen.
From the drama stage to the film road,
Wang Xingang's dream of being an actor began in childhood.
In 1932, Wang Xingang was born in Dalian, northeast China.
In the year of the founding of New China, Wang Xingang happened to be in middle school.
He heard that Shenyang, Liaoning Province, was holding a drama performance training class.
Wang Xingang, who has long dreamed of being an actor for a long time, almost signed up for the first time.
In the career in the training class, Wang Xingang studied both seriously and diligently.
The theory courses are well studied, and the acting and physical classes are also very hard.
Because the results are among the best, after about a year of training,
Wang Xingang was assigned to the Northeast Military Industry Bureau's Cultural and Labor Corps.
After working here for a year, he was transferred to the Northeast Military Region's Cultural and Industrial Corps.
During the work of the cultural troupe, Wang Xingang successively starred in drama works such as "Li Chuang Wang" and "Three Warriors".
With a melancholy appearance and a deep foundation in performance, the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level quickly remembered the name Wang Xingang.
After entering the literary troupe for 5 years, a film shooting changed Wang Xingang's acting path.
In 1956, the Changchun Film Studio was preparing to make the film "Silent Mountain Forest".
Director Zhu Wenshun, successively selected several roles, and finally was not satisfied.
He felt that Feng Guangfa, who played the male protagonist, must have a military temperament.
So in accordance with Zhu Wenshun's request, the deputy director ran to the cultural troupe of the military region to touch the actors.
Among the young male actors, the assistant director almost immediately took a fancy to Wang Xingang.
On the same day, the assistant director wanted to bring Wang Xingang back to the crew.
But Wang Xingang himself hesitated.
Because at that time, drama was the real art in the minds of many actors.
The assistant director was a little puzzled, and the leaders in the cultural and labor troupe also found Wang Xingang to understand the reason.
He said what he said in his heart, and the film had no way to communicate with the audience, so it was not as enjoyable as the drama.
The leader felt that he was picking and choosing to talk to the organization about the conditions, and criticized him fiercely.
And clearly told him that whether it is filming or acting in a drama, it should be subject to the work arrangement.
After being criticized by the leader, Wang Xin just went to the film crew.
Fortunately, in a few years, Wang Xingang has a high performance foundation, and he quickly passed the director's audition.
Wang Xingang is the kind of person who will definitely do a good job once he does something.
He worked hard to study the role, under the guidance of director Zhu Wenshun,
Wang Xingang quickly became familiar with the filming process of the film.
After the film was filmed and released, the audience applauded Wang Xingang's performance.
He was once called a handsome kid on the screen.
Two years later, Wang Xingang was officially transferred to the Bayi Film Studio.
He was lucky, just arrived at the Bayi Factory,
Just in time for the preparation of the National Day tribute movie "Sea Eagle".
The male protagonist in the movie is Zhang Min, the captain of the torpedo boat.
Director Yan Jizhou felt that Wang Xingang fit this role.
But Wang Xingang is well aware of the weight of this role.
After the official takeover, he went to experience life on the torpedo boat of the naval unit.
Wang Xingang originally thought that he had grown up by the sea,
Familiar with both going to sea and boats, there will not be too much difficulty.
But who knows, on the first day of boarding the torpedo boat, Wang Xingang vomited seven meats and eight vegetarians.
Torpedo boats travel at high speeds on the water.
The speed per hour can reach 75-90 km/ h.
Such speeds are nothing on land, but unusually bumpy on the water.
At that time, Wang Xin had just gone to sea with the officers and men,
As soon as the torpedo boat accelerated, he stood unsteadily, and his heart felt as if he were overturning the river and the sea.
This time out to sea, Wang Xingang left a psychological shadow.
He was in a bad state, and others on the crew advised him.
Anyway, after the official start of filming, many scenes were filmed indoors.
You just have to follow the torpedo boat low-speed sailing experience experience, there is no need to make yourself real.
But Wang Xingang did not agree, he knew very well,
If you don't experience it yourself, you can't play the style of a captain.
So after his health improved, Wang Xingang boarded the torpedo boat again.
After a period of training, Wang Xingang finally passed the level of fainting.
Next, on the torpedo boat, Wang Xingang carefully observed the officers and men's usual every move.
After dozens of days of experience, although he lost a lot of weight,
But he was able to drive like a real captain.
After having experienced and officially starting filming, Wang Xingang's grasp of the role was very in place.
After the release of the movie, the audience was once fascinated by Wang Xingang's style.
There is a scene in the play, it is Wang Xingang driving an open-top jeep,
Take a ride with the beautiful female militia captain Wu Yufen.
The female captain is played by actor Wang Xiaotang.
This scene made countless young men and women at that time fall for it.
After the appearance of "Sea Hawk",
Wang Xingang and Wang Xiaotang have cooperated in several movies of "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City".
Since then, it has been widely spread in society: men look at Wang Xingang, and women look at Wang Xiaotang.
The audience used countless praise words on Wang Xingang's body.
Handsome and elegant, flowing and steady, dashing and dignified, resolute and clear.
Don't look at the fact that there was no network at that time, but people chased the stars without any ambiguity.
Many young girls began to write courtship letters to Wang Xingang.
Wang Xingang's reply is humorous:
Thank you for your trust and support, but I am already the father of the child.
In reality, Wang Xingang did know the other half of Yang Zhaocai in the crew.
Yang Zhaocai also worked in the cultural and labor troupe that year.
After the two people got married in 1959, Yang Zhaocai took the initiative to retire to the family.
Fully support the career of her husband Wang Xingang.
And Wang Xingang, with his own efforts, has developed his career better and better.
Although his fame is getting bigger and bigger, Wang Xingang never picks a role.
Not to mention that they will not rely on their own popularity to embarrass the crew.
In 1962, while filming the movie "Good Brothers",
The two main characters in the play are played by other actors.
The director hopes that Wang Xingang can play the role of instructor.
I thought that Wang Xingang was famous and would not accept this supporting role.
Who knew that after the director tentatively asked, Wang Xingang agreed to it.
Afterwards, Wang Xingang's friends still felt that he should not star.
The fame is so big, why play a supporting role to demote oneself.
But Wang Xingang feels that he is an ordinary actor and should not worry about the protagonist and supporting roles.
To this end, when filming the film "Eternal Life in The Fire" in 1965,
Wang Xingang still insisted on this attitude of his own.
Originally, he was arranged to play the protagonist Chenggang.
However, due to the change of the script, the role of Chenggang was deleted,
Wang Xingang was also arranged to play Liu Siyang.
But later Liu Siyang's role was also deleted,
So that after the movie was released, Wang Xingang only showed his face in the movie.
Even so, Wang Xingang has always obeyed the crew's arrangements during filming.
Afterwards, some people praised him, really an artist with both virtue and art.
His career is in full swing, and he and his wife Yang Zhaocai have been in love for decades.
In those days, they were a very enviable model couple.
Especially after Yang Zhaocai was seriously ill,
Wang Xingang has always been inseparable from his wife.
It was the early 1970s, because of the sudden suicide of a friend of Yang Zhaocai.
Unable to withstand the stimulation, she suffered great mental stimulation and suffered from severe mental illness.
Yang Zhaocai once became mentally confused and emotionally impermanent.
Sometimes they will suddenly get angry and make a big fuss, and sometimes they will not speak for many days in a row.
Faced with his seriously ill wife, Wang Xingang took Yang Zhaocai and went to almost all the hospitals in Beijing.
But the treatment of such diseases often takes a long time.
Once Wang Xingang learned that Chinese medicine was effective in the treatment and conditioning of his wife's disease.
To this end, Wang Xingang wrote to all his relatives and friends everywhere for help.
As long as he heard that there was a good formula anywhere, he would try everything to get it.
It was hard to catch the medicine and fry it well, and it was a difficult process to let the wife take the medicine.
He had to do whatever it took to get Yang Zhaocai to take the medicine like a child.
In life, yang Zhaocai has had a hobby of listening to music for many years.
Even during illness, as long as you hear music,
Her emotional state also stabilized immediately.
The doctor also told Wang Xingang that listening to music regularly was effective in relieving her mood.
In this way, while looking for prescriptions and decoctions for his wife,
Wang Xingang also often went around buying records.
In addition to taking care of his wife, Wang Xingang also had to do housework every day, and at the same time had to take care of his two children.
In 1975, Wang Xingang became the deputy director of the Bayi Film Studio.
Although the work is busier, he has never slackened in taking care of his wife.
It took a full 5 years for Yang Zhaocai's body to slowly recover.
At that time, colleagues and neighbors knew that Wang Xingang had paid a lot in the process of taking care of his wife.
Even years later, when people mention him, he is still full of praise.
In 1981, Wang Xingang, who was already 49 years old, successfully portrayed the role of Cai Yi.
With this role, Wang Xingang won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor.
Although his acting skills have been perfected, Wang Xingang is strict with himself.
After the age of 55, Wang Xingang felt that his age was no longer suitable for the role of a soldier.
He took the initiative to fade out of the film circle and returned to his hometown of Dalian to start a quiet life.
Since then, Wang Xingang has stopped participating in any public events.
When my son grew up, he worked in the United States for a while.
Therefore, Wang Xingang also went to the United States with his wife Yang Zhaocai to take care of his grandson.
And then the son returned to Beijing,
Wang Xingang spends half of his time in Beijing and half of his time in his hometown in Dalian.
He loves swimming very much, as long as he is in Dalian,
Most of the time I soak in the beachfront baths.
Although he returned to the life of ordinary people, Wang Xingang admitted that he had never had celebrity baggage.
He felt very comfortable living an ordinary old age.
Swimming, reading books, listening to music, and accompanying grandchildren are the main themes of Wang Xingang's life with his wife Yang Zhaocai for many years.
None of his sons and daughters are actors, but in the IT industry.
In Wang Xingang's own words, it is not that they are blocking it, but that they are not interested in being actors.
In such a retirement and old age, Wang Xin just passed another twenty years.
At the age of 74, Bayi Factory filmed the movie "My Long March".
Director Zhai Junjie is his good friend, and Wang Xingang re-emerged from the mountain under the persuasion of everyone.
In that play, he played an old Red Army.
In Wang Xingang's view, this is his contribution to the film industry.
As one of the 22 great stars of the 1950s,
One of the top 10 movie stars in the 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China,
In his acting career over the years, Wang Xingang has contributed many classic screen images.
Today, Wang Xingang is 90 years old.
In recent years, rumors of his death have been circulating online from time to time.
But in fact, since starring in "My Long March" in 2006, Wang Xingang has bid farewell to the public eye again.
The outside world also knows very little about his wife's recent situation.
People only know that this old man of old age,
Whether it is the achievement in the movie, or the emotional relationship with the wife,
It is still being praised by everyone.
