Before the broadcast of "I Am Not a Medicine God", most people may not know Wang Chuanjun, but when it comes to guan gu magic, everyone will suddenly understand that it is him. And this was not what Wang Chuanjun wanted.
In 1985, Wang Chuanjun was born in Shanghai, his parents were intellectuals, his family situation was not ordinary, and naturally he attached great importance to Wang Chuanjun's education. And Wang Chuanjun did not disappoint the people around him, his grades from childhood to adulthood were very good, and he has always been a "good child" in the eyes of parents and teachers. Not only that, he is also interested in art, often participates in some literary and artistic activities organized by schools, and every activity is indispensable to his figure, accumulating a lot of stage experience. The smooth learning experience has created Wang Chuanjun's frank and proud character.
In high school, Wang Chuanjun's mother was diagnosed with cancer. Wang Chuanjun, who was close to his mother since childhood, began to accompany his mother all day. It is also because of the support of his parents that Wang Chuanjun, who has never set a goal in life, applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy. In fact, as early as before entering the play, 17-year-old Wang Chuanjun starred in his first film, directed by Guan Hu and cooperated with Ma Yili and Huang Yiqun in "Xi Shi Eye", but the support of his parents strengthened his inner thoughts.
After entering the university, Wang Chuanjun cooperated with Pan Hong, Zhao Wei and Zhou Zhouwei in "Thank You for Loving Me" to enter the circle and won the runner-up of the Shanghai TV "A Smile and Fame" finals, which can be said that his starting point is very high.
He then starred in "The Prince of Tennis" and "Come On! The Prince of Tennis", "Dulala Promotion", "Love Apartment" and other film and television works. Among them, the role of "The Magic of Sekiya" in "Love Apartment" has been recognized by many audiences. But Cheng ye's "Love Apartment" also lost "Love Apartment", and gained a lot of attention and fans through the role of "Sekitani Magic", but it also paved some difficulties for his future.
At the hottest time, someone once asked Wang Chuanjun how much it cost to make a TV series, and he jokingly offered a price of tens of millions, but he did not expect the other party to agree. Later, Wang Chuanjun admitted that he was "a bit fluttery" at that time - everywhere he went, people knew him, and people around him talked about fame, luxury cars and watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars every day. It's like stepping into a new circle, and everything is different from the past.
Since then, other film and television works he has participated in, whether it is "Summer Show of Love" with Deng Jiajia, or "The Laughter of the Medical Center", "Love Is Back" and "Star Brothers" with Chen He, are inextricably linked to "Love Apartment".
Wang Chuanjun is not without a breakthrough, he once introduced himself to the "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes" crew, hoping to play the criminal psychology expert in it, but was rejected by the other party, on the grounds that "you are a person who plays comedy".
Wang Chuanjun felt confused, he said: "It's not interesting, after earning money, I always feel like punching myself in the face, and I want to play those who have strong flaws in personality." Maybe at this time, Wang Chuanjun began to doubt whether his participation in Guan Gu's magic was really correct?
After filming "Daisen Yamen" in 2015, after the drama was completed, Wang Chuanjun, who was on vacation in Japan, received the news that he needed to go back to dubbing, and he did not want others to speak for him, so he told the crew that he would go back to matching in two days. A few days later he hurried back to Beijing, was told that the dubbing was over, and when he saw the finished film, he was angry, and he said to himself, "I will never take this scene again." He also decided never to act in comedy again.
Because of this, for the next 11 months, Wang Chuanjun did not receive a single play. Income was cut off, one day, Wang Chuanjun checked his bank card, found that there was only 1 million left, some people feel that 1 million seems to be a fairly acceptable number, however, a sum of money is not much, does not depend on the size of the amount, but depends on whether it is enough. Wang Chuanjun felt anxious: "Because I still have to pay off the mortgage, at that time my mother was hospitalized again, and it cost a lot to buy medicine and be hospitalized." ”
Looking back, 2016 became the "worst year" in Wang Chuanjun's life. First of that year, in September of that year, Wang Chuanjun's good friend Qiao Renliang died of depression, when Wang Chuanjun was filming in New York, too late to rush back, he wrote a long Weibo, he said: "We will eventually meet, good night, good dreams." ”
Three months later, Wang Chuanjun's mother left him because of cancer, and he was powerless, depressed, and unwilling. It was like driving on the sea, that year, Wang Chuanjun's ship overturned.
Death is a compulsory lesson in everyone's life, and it teaches people to understand too many things. Under the great change, Wang Chuanjun suddenly felt that many things were no longer important. He sold his car, house and watch, gave designer sneakers to a friend, signed himself up for an acting class, and began to relearn.
When he needed to audition, he rode his bicycle alone, and when there was no drama, he would go to the drama workshop to help others read the script. At first, the workshop people also embarrassed to say to Wang Chuanjun: "We don't have any money, we can't pay you", Wang Chuanjun immediately explained that he did not need money: "I just want to read some good scripts for free."
Once upon a time, Wang Chuanjun was the most sophisticated person among his friends, for example, he would teach his friend Qiao Renliang how to speak on different occasions, and remember to send people a blessing text message during the festival. But now, he has chosen to abandon these "human feelings".
Waiting for the next year's "Ferryman" produced by Wong Kar-wai to be released, although the film is full of stars, but the word of mouth is not very good, the Douban score is only 4.4 points, and the audience has mixed praise for the film. In the face of such a scene, Wong Kar-wai released a dynamic: "Ferry people, ferry people cross themselves, I like it." A number of big celebrities in the circle came to support Wang Dao, saying one after another, "I also like it." In such a one-sided situation, his sentence "I don't like" is very abrupt in it, on the one hand, it has been praised by some netizens, on the other hand, it has also led to his being "banned". Such a highly individualistic feature also portends his future conflict with the love apartment.
The following year, Xi Mengyao fell on the Victoria's Secret stage, many stars comforted her comments, and Wang Chuanjun sent a weibo: "Victoria's Secret, not a problem." In those years, Wang Chuanjun seemed to have become an "outlier" in the entertainment industry - he was better at contradicting the tone than filming.
And he appeared in the public eye, he also changed his image, he grew his hair and beard, wore loose clothes, under Wang Chuanjun's Weibo, there were comments questioning how his image could play the "Guan Gu Magic" again, Wang Chuanjun only replied: "Close my ass."
After that, he parted ways with "Love Apartment", refusing to appear in the fifth season and spin-off movies, and some people said that he was ungrateful, after all, a large part of Wang Chuanjun's fame came from "Love Apartment". In response, he responded lightly: "I just want to be myself, not play with you." ”
Wang Chuanjun who had arrived here seemed to be completely different, he was no longer afraid of the world's eyes, he wanted to pursue his own inner thoughts. Maybe it was Qiao Renliang's death, maybe it was Jin Shijia's advice, maybe it was his own enlightenment.
In 2016, the movie "The History of the Demise of Romanticism" was released, in which Wang Chuanjun played a shrewd Shanghai horse boy. Although it only appears in the film for a few minutes, it is impressive.
After that, he appeared in the film "I Am Not a Medicine God" directed by Xu Zheng, playing the role of "Lu Beneficiary". Because Lü Beneficiary's setting is a seriously ill patient, at first, Xu Zheng was hesitant to give this role to Wang Chuanjun, after all, Wang Chuanjun looks tall and handsome, and there is no small difference with the role. But soon, Wang Chuanjun used his own hard work to dispel Xu Zheng's concerns.
Before the film began, in order to slim down, Wang Chuanjun jumped 4,000 ropes a day, and after entering the group, he increased this number to 8,000. During the entire shooting stage, Wang Chuanjun lost more than 20 pounds. When people looked at Wang Chuanjun again, they could no longer see any shadow of "Love Apartment".
There is a meal scene in the movie, in order to show the serious patient's desire for food, Wang Chuanjun ate 44 buns and 5 bowls of noodles in a row, and vomited 3 times because of eating too much in the process. In order to perform the scene of the patient's dying life, Wang Chuanjun was admitted to the ward in advance and did not sleep for two nights. After the film was made, talking about Wang Chuanjun again, Xu Zheng said that he would not cooperate with him again: "Because after he finished filming this movie, he probably would not play a supporting role again." ”
Xu Zheng read that right. With the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", in 2020, Wang Chuanjun won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor, standing on the stage, he patted his head in disbelief, reacted for a moment, and then began to thank him. Finally, he thanked his mother with tears: "I am especially grateful to my mother, because she has been battling the disease for a long time, so I know the state of a patient very well." From this point of view, Wang Chuanjun has never been an ungrateful person.
But after 2021, Wang Chuanjun also began to enter the variety show and start a new movie, we have reason to believe that he will be better, but he seems to be beginning to enjoy another honor that this brilliance brings him. He didn't want to be stereotyped as Guan Gu, but only for the sake of resentment in his heart, and his current appearance seemed to have deviated from what he said at the time.
Up to now, the stubborn and frank soul can not resist the truth of reality after all.
