In 2016, when "In the Name of the People" was about to start filming, director Li Lu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Originally, the big corrupt official Zhao Dehan decided to let Fan Wei play it, and he once created the famous scene of "small official and huge corruption" in "Private Order", which was once very popular.
However, Fan Wei tried several times, all of which gave people a comedy effect, which is not at all consistent with the serious plot, so it needs to be replaced, and the director does not know who to play for a while.
At this time, someone recommended Hou Yong. The director hurriedly came to visit, just as Hou Yong was eating noodles, Li Lu instantly came to inspiration, which made the famous scene of "eating noodles" in the first episode.
Li Lu was very excited, patted his thigh and said to Hou Yong, "Director Zhao is none other than you." ”
It is worthy of being an old drama bone, and the opening chapter is king fried. "In the Name of the People" has just aired two episodes and became a hot search.
Some netizens commented: "The acting skills are explosive, absolutely at the level of the Northern Film textbook." ”
Some netizens exaggeratedly said: "In the Name of the People, half of the traffic is contributed by Hou Yong. ”
It can be seen that Hou Yong's performance of the corrupt official Director Zhao is three points into the wood, which makes people unforgettable.
As an old drama bone, he used more than thirty years of grinding and precipitation to achieve "Zhao Dehan" and make himself explosive, but in fact, his marriage is even more popular.
"Hou Yong's third marriage married a beautiful girl after 90s", which once made the media rush to report, widely circulated in the market, and became everyone's talk after tea and dinner.
Some people say that Hou Yongsan married to the 90s who was 25 years younger, and his life was perfect; Some people are not optimistic and sing: But money and color trading, what is worth showing off. What is the truth?
01 Poor childhood sharpens a tough undertone
In 1967, Hou Yong was born in a rural village in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, to honest farmers, relying on a few acres of thin land to support a large family.
At that time, the family was very poor and always hungry for a full meal, so after the parents finished the farm work, they would go out to do some odd jobs to supplement the family.
It is said that the children of the poor have long been in charge, and Hou Yong is the eldest in the family, naturally taking on more, not only cooking and doing housework, but also having to manage the study of his younger siblings, just like a big parent.
The family was too poor, so as soon as Hou Yong graduated from junior high school, he came down to work.
His first job was to sift through carbon, and he had to sift more than 10 tons a day or he would be driven out of the mine. Hou Yong worked day and night, and blood blisters were grinded out on his hands, and his heart hurt when he broke it.
However, even if the work is difficult, Hou Yong gritted his teeth and stood firm, and he regarded this as a kind of grinding.
Fortunately, his mother felt sorry for him and felt that it was not a job for a 15-year-old child, so she sent him to work in a meat factory, and from then on, Hou Yong began a career selling meat.
At the beginning, the meat is always cut badly, less, and the one who bought the meat came back to find it; If there is more, you will have to pay for it yourself. Sometimes the good meat is sold out, and no one buys the bad one, so it has to be taken home.
When he settled the account at night, seeing his mother silently taking out money from his pocket to put it on the mat, Hou Yong felt very uncomfortable, feeling that he was particularly useless, and he secretly decided: He must do this job well.
After exercising for a long time, he has practiced a unique skill, as long as he tells how much meat to buy, he will be able to cut it well across the board, never short of two pounds.
Therefore, people gave the nickname "Hou Yidao". Due to his excellent skills, Hou Yong was promoted to the position of workshop director, and his income was suddenly higher than that of his parents, and he was full of joy to be able to share it for his parents.
Zhou Guoping said: "The so-called suffering is to play the triumphal song of life in a small corner of the universe. ”
Hou Yong's life precedence is such a sharpened triumphant song, and since then, he has grown hard and tenacious.
02 Accidentally changed his life, but he is still nameless
When he was 20 years old, Hou Yong accompanied his friends to apply for the Jiangsu Provincial Drama Academy, and he didn't know that the moment he walked into the examination room, he was quietly tampering with his fate.
He was a companion to the exam, relaxed in heart, and casual when performing, but he never thought that the interviewer just saw his true colors to star, and just like that, he was admitted.
The olive branch thrown by the god of fate, he decided to catch.
But his parents disagreed, feeling that it was useless to learn to act, it was better to be a workshop director, and it was easier and more profitable.
Hou Yong doesn't think so, instead of living a lifetime of looking forward to the end, it is better to go outside and break in, in case there is a chance.
After all, his mother relented, and before leaving, she filled him with a pocket of pancakes, fried yellow croaker, and even poured the last fish residue into the lunch box, without leaving a little for his younger siblings.
With this heavy maternal love, Hou Yong took the train away, and he told himself in his heart: You must mix up your personal appearance.
When he first arrived at the school, Hou Yong was very restrained, and he was the only one in the class who was from the countryside and did not know what acting was. So every time he is grouped, he always falls behind.
At this time, a female classmate named Shen Rong in the class took the initiative to ask to join him, and he was very grateful.
Once, the teacher asked them to play the husband and wife quarrel, Shen Rong finished the performance vividly, but he was red and thick-necked, and he couldn't say a word, and the teacher was very angry and wanted to scold him with a black face.
Shen Rong hurriedly said: "Teacher, this is his performance, he is playing the husband of the honest Mune." ”
When the students heard the explanation, they laughed and then applauded.
In order to express his gratitude, he bought a watermelon and gave it to Shen Rong.
Shen Rong smiled slightly and generously took the watermelon. This smile was unbiased and hit Hou Yong's heart.
His heart was hot, and he was immediately in chaos, and from then on, Hou Yong was moved by her.
Heart is not as good as action, Hou Yong launched a passionate pursuit of Shen Rong: learning to ask for teaching topics, life is cold and warm, and love is direct and simple.
Who can resist such a fiery love? In this way, Shen Rong soon fell into Hou Yong's gentleness.
In 1989, after graduating from drama school and being assigned to work in the Nanjing Military Region Repertory Troupe, Hou Yong thought that he could finally show his skills and open up a new world.
Which Cheng thought, entering the industry is just the beginning, this road to fame and horn, Hou Yong walked exceptionally long.
In the beginning, Hou Yong was a runner.
Sometimes I play seven or eight roles a day, but I don't have a single line; Sometimes I just play a statue, and I dare not come out of the atmosphere on the stage.
In 1993, he finally took over the first movie "Blood Shore Revenge", but unfortunately did not stir up a little wave; In 1994, he filmed his first TV series "Folks", and the response was mediocre.
Hou Yong did not believe it, and became more and more courageous, and filmed several more films one after another, but there was still no improvement.
It was Hou Yong's darkest period, and there was not a glimmer of light in sight, which made people despair.
03 Ten years of grinding a sword to make a tough guy on the screen
At this time, Shen Rong is a different world, with her beautiful face and solid acting skills, she has filmed several plays in succession, and won the Flying Award twice, like a new star, rising.
Hou Yong was both happy for Shen Rong and anxious for himself. There is no improvement in his career, but his parents keep urging marriage, but fortunately, Shen Rong understands the mood of the old man.
In 1992, without a house and no diamond ring, Shen Rong married him without hesitation. He vowed in his heart: he must work hard to make his wife live a good life.
Since then, Hou Yong has thrown himself into the actor's cauldron again and again, allowing him to suffer and grind repeatedly.
Painstaking people live up to it.
In August 2002, Hou Yong won the actor of the Changchun Film Festival with the role of Su Zhihao in the movie "Sonic Boom Long Sky".
13 years of grinding a sword, Hou Yong cried with joy, choked up several times, no one knew how heavy he had carried over the years, but fortunately finally there was hope.
And what really made Hou Yong a household name was the movie "Out of the Amazon" in the same year. At that time, the filming process was arduous and dangerous, but Hou Yong was determined not to use a stand-in.
Once, filming a scene of jumping from a helicopter into the sea, he was almost hanged by the propeller of the plane due to the inaccurate speed calculation, but fortunately he grabbed the rope and passed by death.
Climbing ladders, climbing net walls, fighting crocodiles, crossing the blockade with real guns and live ammunition... By the time he finished filming, there were dozens of scratches, scratches, burns, and scratches on his body.
It was with such hard work that he succeeded.
In 2002, Hou Yong became a "double material actor" and became a hit.
The 35-year-old man has finally ushered in a career upswing.
Since then, he has become a "tough guy professional", and the road of drama has become wider and wider.
04 The career is booming, but the love road is bumpy
Just when the career is making great strides, marriage lights up red.
Due to Shen Rong's poor health, she was not pregnant with a child for a long time, but Hou Yong's parents were anxious to hold their grandson, so the fact of not having children became a family problem.
At that time, Hou Yong was already in his 40s, and Shen Rong didn't want to drag him down, so he decided to divorce.
In 2010, they ended their 18-year marriage.
Hou Yong once said: "If it weren't for Shen Rong, there would be no Hou Yong today." ”
They have supported all the way, walked through the mud, and mixed with each other, but eventually became guests.
Just when everyone was worried about Shen Rong, in 2011, Hou Yong married Pan Yuchen, who was 11 years younger.
At that time, the two filmed "Battlefield Soldiers" together, and because of the drama, they hurriedly entered marriage.
The next year, Pan Yuchen gave birth to a daughter, 44-year-old Hou Yongxi as a father, and his happiness is beyond words. Netizens said: This time the family is complete.
But who knows, in 2013, at a publicity event, Pan Yuchen generously admitted that the two were divorced, and she lived well with her daughter alone.
As for why the two divorced, it has never been made public. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that two people get married in a high-profile relationship during the period of love, you and me, naturally affectionate.
However, there is still a long way to go from love at first sight to deep love. They failed to cross the road and came to an abrupt end two years later.
After that, Hou Yong focused on filming.
He never participated in variety shows, rarely participated in interviews, and lived a low-key life.
Just when people thought he would always be like this, in 2017, some media broke the news: 50-year-old Hou Yong married a beautiful girl after 90, and the news came out, which was very exciting.
Can't help the gossip in people's hearts, began to dig into this beautiful girl, it turned out that Hou Yong's third wife is his die-hard fan, and has always liked Teacher Hou's plays.
Her name is Wang Rui, 25 years younger than Hou Yong, a proper post-90s, not only beautiful, but also hot, comparable to a model.
While people are envious, they also begin to question the happiness of this marriage.
Some netizens sarcastically said: "Old cows eat tender grass, but money and color trading, what is there to envy." ”
Some netizens said: "You see, the two are holding hands, smiling, with a happy look, how to look, how it seems to have found true love." ”
No matter what netizens say, Hou Yong is still as low-key as ever, without explaining or speaking, he should film and film, and he should live and live.
Today, they have been married for 5 years, still holding hands, traveling together, shopping together, eating street food together... was photographed by netizens, and it was also free.
05 Career success, wife on the side
As an old drama bone and a national first-class actor, in his career, Hou Yong is wonderful and has created many classic roles.
