Following the role of Song Yunhui in "Dajiang Dahe 2",
Praised by the People's Daily,
Wang Kai reviewed the psychological journey of "Song Yunhui" and the significance of the times,
Recently, he published an article in the People's Daily again.
To share with you the insights of 16 years in the industry, bluntly said:
"Experienced the rapid development of the film and television industry,
Whenever I think of it to face thousands of viewers,
I felt a great responsibility.
Playing a good character and telling a good story requires actors to do their homework.
How deeply you understand, how much the performance can resonate. ”
He is the girly character of "Ugly Girl Invincible",
He is Fang Mengwei of "No War in Peking",
Jing Wang of "Langya List", Zhao Qiping of "Ode to Joy",
A distinct role makes him known as the drama throwing face by the audience,
Film and television works are both selling well and selling well,
Step into the ranks of first-line male actors.
At the age of 24, he signed a contract with Huayi Brothers to stay at home for 1 year,
At the age of 32, his reputation for acting in "Langya List" rose,
Wang Kai, who has only been famous for 4 years and is at the peak of his career,
But began to slow down the pace of work to reduce the work stroke,
Gradually disappearing from the public eye,
Until the hit of "Big Rivers",
Only then did he appear again as an actor and confess that he had recuperated and treated the disease,
What is the hidden secret in his "not red",
What did Wang Kai, who was "a late bloomer", go through?
01
In 1982,
Wang Kai was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, to a dual-career family.
Both parents work at Xinhua Bookstore,
For generations, they have been simple and honest farmers and workers.
The family is not rich but can be considered well-off,
Holding the "iron rice bowl" without worrying about eating and drinking,
Dad thought about letting him make up for the regrets of his youth and learn some sports.
From the age of 5,
Little Wang Kai began to learn to play football,
From physical strength to flexibility are much better than their peers,
The "force value" rises sharply,
He became the "child king" of the nearby streets.
Lead the little friend to invite cats and dogs to provoke trouble,
The personality is becoming more and more lively and cheerful,
Watching him become more and more difficult to discipline gave her mother a headache.
It just so happens that Hubei has come out of a group of diving champions led by Fu Mingxia,
As a sports fan, dad wants to send him to learn diving,
But my mother thinks that amateur practice can be done.
The true path is to study hard and go to university.
But Little Wang Kai, who has long been accustomed to running wildly on the court,
I can't sit still in the classroom.
It's as hard to concentrate like a long nail on your ass,
It's hard to listen to lectures, let alone get good grades.
Although the results are not among the best,
But the relatives, neighbors and even teachers around him liked him very much.
"Xiao Kai is so handsome, handsome and sensible and smart."
From an early age he grew up in praise,
The whole person exudes self-confidence from the inside out.
After entering junior high school,
Under the supervision of his parents, he began to study seriously,
After completing the coursework,
With a handsome appearance that gradually opens up, actively participate in literary and artistic activities,
Both singing and acting are on the front lines.
After reading "Thunderstorm", he was shocked and began to participate in rehearsals.
I want to bring this powerful story to the stage.
Wang Kai's heart planted a seed of an actor,
From time to time, I fantasize that I can become an actor,
He thought actors were born,
Born to belong to that glorious stage,
Say it and everyone will only think that this is wishful thinking,
So it was quietly buried in the heart.
Until junior high school graduation,
He plucked up enough courage to tell his parents that he wanted to go to Wuhan Art School.
Mom and Dad only think that one is one,
Completely indifferent to his feelings directly signed up for Pugao.
Go with the flow to high school, complete homework day after day,
The outside world changes very fast every day.
He suddenly heard about the existence of an acting training class.
Go around asking "is there a training class",
Every day, I call 114 for consultation.
Although the young man is rampaged, he is full of blood,
Before he could find a way out,
The burning enthusiasm was poured by Dad's basin of cold water.
"Our royal family has been for generations
Never had anyone like you with weird ideas."
He thought that the dream that Nu had worked hard to reach out was actually out of reach.
Frustrated Wang Kai temporarily let go of his obsession,
Follow the path paved by your parents step by step.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, with the development of the economy,
State-owned enterprises push for reform to maintain sufficient competitiveness,
The "hereditary" golden rice bowl has become a thing of the past,
Suddenly the superior has a policy indicator that can "top the position" of the parent's side,
The parents who originally wanted him to go to college immediately turned against him,
After discussion, the couple took turns to persuade him to cherish this opportunity.
"There are a lot of our colleagues who don't go to college anymore.
After graduation, it is difficult to find such a good job,
Those who went to college and junior college dropped out of school and came back to their top jobs. ”
For Wang Kai, there is no ideal except for wanting to test art.
Having a job with a higher income is satisfying.
At the age of 18, he gave up the college entrance examination and retired to work at Xinhua Bookstore.
Young age, low education, he did the hardest and most tiring work,
Luckily he was in the bookstore,
It is the only bookstore in Wuhan with wholesale business, and the benefits are also the best.
Unfortunately he had to carry tons of cargo every day.
One day on night shift,
A large truck suddenly stopped in front of the store,
A full cart of books weighs at least 15 tons,
He was alone with bundles of books tied with brown paper,
The number of trips back and forth from trucks to warehouses is uncountable.
The sorted books were piled up as high as a whole wall.
After dawn, rubbing his sour arm out of the bookstore and looking at the morning sun,
He suddenly realized that he was just a fixed porter.
It doesn't make any difference whether this porter is him or anyone else.
And he seems to see life 20 years later,
That moment loneliness and sadness swept in.
Wang Kai rekindled his desire for dreams,
In his spare time, he began to actively participate in various activities of the TV station.
He always had a thought in his mind:
"I'm definitely getting better and better, and I'm born to be useful,
I will definitely become a very good person, a good person. ”
It was as if something was waiting for me.
With his outstanding appearance, he was selected by the director of the TV station,
Compared with the F4 of this fire to form "Jiangcheng F5",
Lead them 5 handsome boys to the surrounding performance,
While performing, I made a commercial as a graphic model.
At the recommendation of the director, he went to Beijing to shoot shampoo advertisements.
Seeing the prosperity of the capital for the first time,
He didn't have time to sigh and began to shoot the advertisement,
Originally, he was still a little nervous, and when he entered the working state, he seemed to have changed as a person.
The director praised him and thought he was a film school student.
The more we talked, the more speculative and blunt:
"Your image and comprehension ability are good, try to go to the acting department."
The fire in Wang Kai's heart burned completely,
He doesn't want to be a good child who obeys his parents anymore,
Want to pursue your dreams.
He first cut and then resigned from the Xinhua Bookstore,
I plan to go to Beijing alone to take the art exam,
The bookstore's leaders particularly liked him, saying bluntly:
"Reading is a good thing, you go to the exam first, I will help you press the resignation letter first."
He was very touched, but in fact, he did not want to come back, and he became a ren if he did not succeed.
The parents were furious when they heard the news,
But the wood has become a boat, and they are reluctant to let the children suffer,
His eyes shone with a light he had never had before,
How can Dad not be soft in his eyes.
His parents advised him to find the right direction and then act,
After inquiring from many sources, Wang Kai stepped on the train to Shanghai,
Enter the theater refresher class to study performances while reviewing cultural classes.
What sustains him is not "chicken soup",
Relying solely on the courage of the heart and the determination to break the way back.
02
In 2003,
Wang Kai was admitted to both The North Film and the Chinese Opera,
Finally chose the first choice of the Central Academy of Drama to study,
Together with Zhang Han, Zhang Li and Ma Li, he joined the 03-level acting undergraduate class.
Freed from his parents' arrangement, he began to let go of himself,
He didn't think too far into the future, only worried about learning a good major first,
Many students in the class are under a lot of psychological pressure in the first year.
But he always looked like he had no heart and no lungs, and thought to himself:
"I'm definitely not going to be like this in the future, it's going to get better and better."
This optimistic spirit brings with it an extremely relaxed mindset.
He enjoys the hard-won university life,
Even if the results are not the top, they are good.
"Thirty Years of Hedong and Thirty Years of Hexi"
Now he is not excellent, he can be improved through the efforts of the day after tomorrow,
Moreover, the teacher also said that good professional results may not be able to be a good actor.
In his junior year, Wang Kai starred in the first TV series "Cold Autumn".
In it, he played "Huang Yuanshang", who admired "Qiu Hong",
Cooperated with Wang Ziwen to officially start his acting career,
Coming from Beijing to Guangxi, not only to see the real operation of the set,
You can also enjoy many magnificent natural landscapes.
The pride and spirit of the youth,
In the whole Chinese drama is extremely rare,
This is his characteristic pride and self-confidence.
The teacher knows that the people who can come here are the top students in the country.
But the cruelty of society is far more cruel than that of the school,
Knock them out every now and then:
"Don't be too arrogant, and don't be too arrogant,
Graduation is the day you lose your job. ”
Don't hit the south wall and don't turn back,
Countless times he was admonished as if he had paid too much attention to it.
In the blink of an eye, some of the students in the senior class signed a contract company, and some were ready to change careers.
Wang Kai signed a contract with huayi brothers, a famous veteran entertainment company.
I thought that from now on, the sky was high and the sea was wide and the birds flew, and I could immediately show my grand plan,
But the resources of the established companies have tilted objects,
There are countless little newcomers like him with no background,
It is better to expect the company to cultivate fully than to submit resumes on its own.
At the beginning, he also promised his parents to develop in Beijing.
Dad took out years of savings to make a down payment for him to make a house,
He patted his chest to make sure his income was enough to pay a monthly payment.
Who knew that he hadn't made a single scene for a whole year.
I personally experienced what the teacher said, "Graduation is unemployment."
Every day when the scene is filmed, he will take over, and his heart is constantly polished,
Ran some miscellaneous dragon sets,
He hesitated to finally get a named role.
Get the book of "Ugly Girl Invincible",
The pride of graduating from a prestigious school and the traditional education received,
Let Wang Kai be incomparably entangled, and he can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
But I pulled out my pants pocket, which was cleaner than my face,
In order to survive, for income, he came to the crew,
Since I have already taken over this role, I will go out to play it to the best,
He grasped the girlish temperament of advertising director Chen Jiaming.
Not only does it leave a deep impact on the audience's heart,
It also brings great surprises to industry professionals.
I thought that after a little fame, there would be more dramas,
I didn't expect to be proud for a long time, he was in the eyes of the director,
From a blank piece of paper to a paper with a fixed image on it,
All that came to the door was a role similar to "girly",
Many people even labeled him "gay".
Seven or eight months to receive no drama,
Being beaten back to the prototype is even worse than before.
Although optimistic by nature, it is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in mood,
Some seniors were afraid that he was impatient and hurried to persuade him:
"Some things don't get you started, you just have to wait."
In 2010,
Wang Kai, who has just experienced the bottleneck period,
Start looking for your own position as a newcomer again.
Producer Hou Hongliang selected him to play Qi Yong in "Zhiqing",
Although the role is not much, but the people are very brilliant,
"Qi Yong" fully represents the sons of the commoners in that generation of intellectuals,
Born slightly cold but with a noble heart,
This play allows him to find his true self.
In the beginning, he still maintained a generous way of performing,
With the guidance and help of the director,
He started with fur,
Slowly running in more and more natural and more grounded,
Each scene goes back to figuring out how to say it without being obtrusive.
The 45-episode TV series was filmed for 7 months,
In the northernmost part of the motherland, the Heihe River,
Shoot from top 40 degrees above zero to -40 degrees,
Mudslides, blizzards, floods, droughts,
In addition to earthquakes they have experienced various disasters over and over again.
The winter of the Black River begins to turn black at three or four o'clock in the afternoon,
In order to catch up with the progress, they set off at dawn and relied on bread and ham to fill their hunger at noon.
But the weather is too cold,
He carried the milk like an ice brick,
The sausage fell to the ground and banged.
They were too hungry to begin to rejoice in their suffering,
All kinds of whimsy, at the beginning of the sausages baked in a carbon stove,
Later, taking advantage of the gap between filming,
Take the guys and start a beautiful picnic.
Life on the set is extremely hard, but Wang Kai is happy every day,
To interpret the story of the character is to experience the life of the character,
He learned a lot from his predecessors.
"For anything to be moving, it must first have the power of nature."
03
After "Zhiqing", he found the right direction and began to develop towards the main drama,
"Gun Hou", "Woman's Sky" and so on,
Step by step, he honed his acting skills and temperament.
Until director Kong Sheng's "No War in Peking",
Let his career take a new level,
Fang Mengwei, played by Wang Kai, is in a group of 5 people including Chen Baoguo and Dong Yong
As well as Liu Ye, Ni Dahong, Cheng Yu and many other heavyweight actors,
The acting aura is not inferior, and in the face of power, it does not shrink and questions harshly.
Facing his brother Liu Ye, he instantly transformed into respect and concern.
There was a big drama that he was informed temporarily,
With a relaxed mindset, I didn't expect one to be,
Director Kong Sheng looked at him with astonishment and appreciated him more and more.
The feeling of picking 7 movie emperors to perform made him remember,
This play brings the audience a fiercely colliding audio-visual feast,
Director Kong Sheng praised him:
"I used to hesitate to watch you perform, but now I'm getting more and more confident."
He learned so much from these previous artists,
More firm in the idea of taking more "good plays" in the future.
"No War in Peking" is the top from the actors to the story to the director team,
But when it was finally tested by the public,
But he did not achieve the good results he imagined,
This made him puzzled,
But it is also more sober to look at the so-called popularity.
Again cooperated with director Kong Sheng to play the Jing Wang of "Langya List",
With "Mei Changsu" as the main body to tell the story of the open and secret struggle between the imperial court,
King Jing of Jing, "Xiao Jingyan", as a close friend of "Mei Changsu",
He has a straightforward and brave personality, and is a great general with great achievements in battle.
Gathering Hu Ge, Liu Tao, Wu Lei and a series of actors who coexist in traffic and strength,
After the broadcast, it caused a storm of ratings and became a classic in the eyes of the audience.
Wang Kai won the best male supporting actor of Magnolia,
With its charm, it became popular overnight,
Extending from the role to himself, fans call themselves "Princess Jing",
From the sound to the hand to the handwriting is amplified and paid attention,
More fans summed up the evaluation of "deer eyes, long hands, subwoofers".
The taste of fame is accompanied by the loss of private living space,
At the same time, he looked at the cooking smoke in the barbecue restaurant and felt a little lost.
But he felt that the stage of being wildly sought after would soon pass.
It is only a matter of time before you return to a peaceful life.
What I didn't expect was that luck always surrounded him after the time came and went,
After "Langya List", he cooperated with director Li Xue and Hu Ge again.
In "The Pretender", he starred as Ming Cheng, who has a dual political identity,
And Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao formed the Ming family brothers and sisters,
Really get the ratings of breaking 3,
On the eve of the finale, the topic discussion volume exceeded 2 billion,
Become the most popular tribute drama.
Wang Kai completely stabilized the popularity of the floating heights,
The drama road has also become wider, and the industry has received rave reviews.
Followed by Kong Sheng's "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes" produced by Kong Sheng and produced by Hou Hongliang.
Adapted from a speculative novel, in collaboration with Huo Jianhua and Ma Sichun,
In it, he plays an excellent criminal police officer Li Furan, who plays Ma Sichun's green plum bamboo horse.
Then he took over "Ode to Joy" directed by Kong Sheng and produced by Hou Hongliang.
He stands out from the crowd of scumbags in the group of female protagonists,
Playing Wang Ziwen's mysterious and very masculine doctor boyfriend Zhao Qiping,
This drama breaks through the embarrassing situation of domestic group dramas like workplace dramas.
Although the evaluation is mixed, the more the debate, the higher the heat,
Wang Kai's fans fell in love with "Dr. Zhao" after "Princess Jing".
Subsequently, "If snails have love" 3 degrees of cooperation with Wang Ziwen,
Broadcast 14 hours of playback exceeded 100 million,
His positive image was even praised by the Focus Interview.
Just when the career is in full swing,
But he was never happy,
Since childhood, his father, who stood in front of him like a mountain, fell ill in bed,
There is almost no cure for advanced lung cancer,
Looking at the shriveled father in front of him,
He regretted countless times why he didn't often go home to see.
And by the time we realize this, it's too late.
Dad lay on the hospital bed and kept advising him not to delay his work.
Wang Kai looked for all the relationships with red eyes,
Take him to the best hospital to find the best doctor,
Still did not get a satisfactory answer.
In 2017,
He and Hu Ge climbed the stage of the Spring Festival Gala together,
Dad barely got up and watched his performance,
Perhaps there were no more regrets, and he died not long after.
He hugged his family and wept bitterly,
Determined to leave more time for the family,
Unexpectedly, it was he who had the problem first.
After dad's death he had been depressed and eating irregularly,
Coupled with the inability to get used to eating and drinking while filming in Japan,
So even if he was unwell, he didn't pay much attention.
But friends who are with the crew strongly recommend him to check it out,
He has never had a serious physical examination for 35 years, and he has absolute confidence in his body.
But the kindness of the friend cannot bear to refuse,
He did a general examination at a hospital in Tokyo.
I didn't expect the day after returning home,
On his way to the theater, Wang Kai received a call from the hospital informing him:
"The lung image is poor, and it is recommended to review and prepare for surgery."
And a month ago, my father just died of lung cancer.
Fortunately, the examination was timely, and there was no major problem after the operation of the lung nodule.
Such ups and downs made him and his family feel frightened,
His mentality of striving to be upstream suddenly became Buddhist,
Slowly reduce the work schedule and start to pick up some variety shows,
Wanli picks a good script and a good team to take over the play.
As if his "red" was just a flash in the pan,
But in fact, it is taking care of the body and accumulating thick hair.
The role of "Song Yunhui" in the double tribute drama "Great Rivers and Great Rivers",
I can't see the shadow of the former character at all,
This play is still a masterpiece of Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang's team.
After the drama hit, he was jokingly called "drama throwing face",
At the same time, he was nominated for the Magnolia Award and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.
"Qing Ping Le", "Fox Hunting", "Dajiang Dahe 2",
It's all well-received, high-quality film and television dramas,
Although many netizens questioned whether Wang Kai's works in recent years have sold well or not,
But there is no doubt that his acting skills and works are excellent.
Movie channel stamped out of the circle and word of mouth,
Twice written in the People's Daily,
His excellence is officially certified,
Don't care about the so-called short-lived "red".
"Talent and luck don't take care of everyone,
But time is the best gift from God,
Because it is the same, as long as you are willing to persevere, you will be able to wait until the day of success. ”
Wang Kai's success is step by step, diligence and opportunity coexist,
It is also his diligence that brings the nobles who create opportunities.
Not clinging to the fleeting "red",
Laughing until the end is the real winner,
I hope that he will not forget his original intention to bring everyone better works.
