Over the past year, apologies have become popular in show business.
Some apologized for problems with their works, such as Guo Jingming, Yu Zheng and others who apologized for plagiarism at the end of last year.
Some apologized for controversial remarks, such as stand-up comedian Li Shi, who was forced to apologize for publishing inappropriate advertising words such as "women lie and win".
Some apologize for emotional problems, and there are many representative figures in this regard who can't finish writing...
Under a cry of sorry, 2020 and 2021 will be turned into an apologetic year for show business.
Recently, a 56-year-old middle-aged actor joined in the hilarious "apology", but it seems a bit strange.
A few days ago, in an interview with CCTV, actor Wang Zhifei "apologized" to the camera:
I'm sorry, but the role I played made you block.
The role Wang Zhifei refers to is the popular villain Gao Mingyuan he played in "Sweeping Black Storm".
The character is the arrogant boss of the evil forces in the play, and his appearance of hiding a knife in his smile is chilling.
In the play, Wang Zhifei brought shadows to countless audiences with a very lethal look.
And with Sun Honglei's hidden and forbearing acting skills, the two sides come and go, and let the audience directly enjoy it.
Under Wang Zhifei's excellent performance, Gao Mingyuan's face has become a lingering midnight shadow for recent audiences, and his evil charm smile is almost equivalent to "death god's smile".
Judging from the praise of netizens in the comment area, the more terrible Gao Mingyuan is, the more brilliant Wang Zhifei's performance is.
With the strong brush screen of "Gao Mingyuan", Wang Zhifei, the middle-aged handsome uncle, has also frequently rushed to the hot search in the near future, which has been widely discussed by netizens.
Looking back at the 56-year-old acting prowess career, he has walked quite steadily along the way.
01
Born into poverty, the "poor boy" knocked on the door of the Chinese opera
Wang Zhifei was born in Beijing in 1965 to a special poor family.
His parents, both deaf and mute, worked in the factory during the day and occasionally pasted matchboxes and wine bottles at night to subsidize the family.
After seeing the difficulty of his parents getting up early every day and greedy for darkness, Wang Zhifei, who had touched the cruel temperature at the bottom, was very sensible since he was a child.
He learned dumb language at less than 9 years old, acting as a "translator" between his parents and the outside world, but due to the deaf and mute background of his parents, he was often ridiculed by some bear children as a child.
Because this layer of background suffered from cold eyes, Wang Zhifei firmly "spoke out" for his parents.
After inadvertently learning about the acting industry, Wang Zhifei, who has known how to observe speech and color and how to use body movements since childhood, quickly established his future direction:
At that time, I thought that [acting] was my ideal career, and I wanted to say what my parents hadn't said for them.
Subsequently, Wang Zhifei successfully entered the China Railway Cultural and Industrial Troupe in 1984 with years of hard work.
Limited by his family's circumstances, before being admitted to the literary and labor troupe, Wang Zhifei also worked as an electrician for a year and a half while preparing for the exam.
In addition to acting in the literary troupe, Wang Zhifei, who is willing to endure hardships, often helps the members of the troupe carry various props, which has won him wide recognition.
With a hard-working attitude and good business ability, Wang Zhifei, who had no background, was subsequently sent to the Chinese opera by the literary troupe and became classmates with Fu Biao, Juanzi and others.
Just by virtue of the spelling skills, the teenager Wang Zhifei knocked on the door of the Chinese opera with his own attitude.
02
The big instrument is late, and the "small role" has a harvest after ten years of dormancy
After further study in a higher education institution, Wang Zhifei's acting skills have been honed, but this does not mean that the opportunity will come immediately.
In that era, the curse of graduation and unemployment also happened frequently, and this unfortunate thing also fell on Wang Zhifei' head in his early twenties.
After graduating from The Chinese Opera in 1987, Wang Zhifei participated in the children's TV series "Good Dad Bad Dad" in the same year.
But in addition, in the following 3-4 years, Wang Zhifei almost did not receive a work invitation, which should have been a career upswing period, but it became an empty window period.
In order to make up for his family, Wang Zhifei, who did not shoot, had to engage in some side business.
He first sold lottery tickets briefly, and then borrowed a 3,000 yuan "huge amount" from a friend to contract a fish pond.
However, due to problems in the procedures, the fish pond was "banned" not long after it was completed, and everything became a white toss.
Subsequently, Wang Zhifei, who was in pain, decided to return to the actor's line and took the initiative to recommend himself many times.
Since 1992, Wang Zhifei, who has been patiently waiting, has finally won some contracts.
With a diligent attitude, Wang Zhifei continued to act one by one, and then almost every year there were films.
In 2000, Wang Zhifei, who had been in the industry for 13 years, ushered in the first masterpiece of his career.
He played the young officer Tang Long in the military-themed TV series "Breaking the Siege", and with his brilliant interpretation, Wang Zhifei, who was only a supporting role, was unexpectedly awarded the Golden Eagle Award for the audience's favorite actor.
When recalling this experience now, Wang Zhifei said that he only found that his film was originally watched by someone after the award of "Highlighting the Siege", which is also a great inspiration for his career development.
With this "Highlight the Siege", Wang Zhifei, who was 35 years old at the time, began to have some movement in the show business circle.
Patiently adhering to the word recipe, Wang Zhifei has finally found a way out of the show business circle for more than ten years, interpreting the definition of a good meal and not being afraid of late.
03
If not, the "supporting role of stealing the scene" will eventually become the old drama bone
After winning the Golden Eagle Award in the millennium, Wang Zhifei's drama gradually increased, and this time it was his turn to pick a play.
But at this time, he did not lose himself, did not personally talk about the script to the agent, and set himself a ceiling of 3-4 plays per year.
With this attitude of inaction, Wang Zhifei has a stable frequency of playing, even if it is more of a supporting role, but his plays over the years have rarely had bad reviews in word of mouth.
And he has excellent business ability, and once played a supporting role very "stealing the scene".
In the 2004 police drama The Silent Witness (rated 8.9), he played a psychopathic killer disguised as a professor of psychology.
The character's elegant and easy-going appearance contrasts sharply with the changeable and strange appearance in private, and it is still the childhood shadow of many people.
In 2009's "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire", Wang Zhifei "changed from evil to righteousness" and transformed into a martingale with a heart for the world.
With his brilliant interpretation, Wang Zhifei played the image of Shang Jun as the soul of the play, and he himself was bound to the role of Shang Martin for many years.
And the childhood drama "Happy Planet" also has the figure of Wang Zhifei, who plays a fencing coach in the second part of the series, and the little friend with a good memory may be able to remember.
There is no need for great popularity, Wang Zhifei can come up with an impressive work every few years, even in the past few years, he is over fifty years old and still steals the scene.
In 2019, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Zhu De in "Gutian Jun".
In the current hit "Sweeping Black Storm", he is even more strong out of the circle because of the evil villain Gao Mingyuan, and his sharp edge is no less than that of Sun Honglei and other protagonists.
From his debut in 1987 to the present, although Wang Zhifei, who has been in the entertainment industry for 34 years, has not really become a big hit, he believes in stable character skills almost only appears in good plays, and his reputation has steadily improved in low profile.

Drama is like life, it is an iron-faced strict father and a warm-hearted father
The so-called life is like a play, and the drama is like life.
Wang Zhifei's private life is actually quite dramatic, which can be reflected in his two marriages and family life.
His first marriage came in 1992, when he married his girlfriend Li Jian, who gave birth to a son, Wang Ye.
But in 2005, Wang Zhifei and his wife chose to divorce under the condition of gathering less and more, and Wang Zhifei obtained custody of his son.
But the divorce of his parents obviously has a certain impact on Wang, and the rebellion of youth has also made the gap between him and his father wider and wider, which makes Wang also leave a month before the college entrance examination.
In 2014, the tension between Wang Zhifei's father and son was dramatically put on the front of the stage.
That year, Wang Zhifei, who loved music, also secretly signed up for the "I Am Not a Star" column of Zhejiang Satellite TV.
At the scene of the program, Wang Zhifei was accidentally brought to the front of the stage, and he could not help but get angry with him, and he criticized the child on the stage.
After leaving the show, he admitted that there was a generation gap between himself and his son, but at the same time he indignantly commented on his son's behavior, "Rubbing the heat of the old man-son, there is no outlet." ”
This gentle and elegant old drama bone in the eyes of the outside world was also forced to show his "true temperament" side in front of the public because of helpless family problems.
Wang Zhifei's second marriage and family life is also quite dramatic, he was engaged to Zhang Dinghan, an actor who was 14 years younger than himself, in 2012, but in fact, they only took 3 days from love to marriage.
According to Wang Zhifei, his marriage proposal is only a temporary intention, but the two who look at each other chat and go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau, crazy love is like this...
Although the age difference between the two sides is 14 years old, from the perspective of showing love on many social platforms after marriage, their feelings are quite loving.
In the second year after marriage, Zhang Dinghan gave birth to a daughter, and 50-year-old Wang Zhifei can be regarded as an old woman.
This time, after experiencing the estrangement with his son, Wang Zhifei, who reflected on the parenting classics, became very spoiled for his daughter.
As soon as he finished his work, he was tired of being by his little daughter's side, and she became a "daughter slave" and said that the other party would pick stars for her if they needed them.
The gratifying thing is that with the passage of time, Wang Zhifei and his eldest son Wang gradually eliminated the estrangement.
Wang Zhifei later publicly said that he would respect his son's wishes, colleagues also asked Sun Nan to help his son point out music, and Wang also recorded a VCR to encourage his father, and the blood thicker than water family affection was not blocked by that small episode after all.
Today's Wang Zhifei not only has a stable career development, but also has a son and a daughter in life, and has become a winner in life at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.
Overall, looking back at Wang Zhifei's colorful life experience.
From the poor electrician boy of the past to the widely praised acting school in the film industry today, along the way, he has embarked on an admirable "sober" life path.
Born in a deaf-mute family, he has been blinded by the different eyes of his peers, but he is grateful and has the original intention of "grateful parents" to devote himself to the actor industry.
On the one hand, he uses the film remuneration he gets from acting to support a family, and on the other hand, he uses performances to replace his parents who can't speak" to "speak out".
In order to commemorate his deceased parents, Wang Zhifei also set up a public welfare project called "Han Ai Feiyang" to fund the rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children, and all the 680,000 gifts received from his wedding with Zhang Dinghan were also donated to charity.
For the profession of actor, he has a more "sober" understanding.
Throughout his career, even if he did not really become popular, Wang Zhifei still had strict requirements for himself.
First of all, it is better to have quality than quantity requirements, each play is personally discussed, and only 3-4 plays are participated in each year under the careful selection of scripts.
The second is to constantly spur and even torture themselves in the process of acting.
In order to play a villain, he once went deep into prison and spoke with the archetype of the character against fear.
In the process of filming, he drank a teapot of coffee in one breath, just to survive the filming cycle.
When filming "East is the Sea" in 2012, he felt that he did not act well, so he cried to the director after the shooting: I could have acted better...
But in fact, the drama with a rating of 7.3 is a good work.
It can be said that whether it is his own responsibility for life or his respect for the actor's profession.
He has shown his truest side to the outside world, this kind of old drama bone that only seeks the truth, I don't know how many stars in the entertainment industry who lack professionalism and are eager to realize their appearance are blushing.
And all this is also as Wang Zhifei said:
To be real in drama, to be righteous
