Speaking of Cao Bingkun, many people may feel very unfamiliar with this name, but when it comes to Xie Ruolin, who makes a living by selling intelligence, loves money like life, and stutters in "Latent", I believe that many viewers are deeply impressed by this role.
More than ten years later, "Latent" is still one of the best spy dramas, in addition to the male and female protagonists Sun Honglei and Yao Chen, this TV series has many old drama bones and powerful actors to join, such as: Wu Gang, Feng Enhe, Zu Feng, Shen Aojun and other people, who have contributed wonderful acting skills in the play.
And Cao Bingkun, who played an important supporting role in the TV series for the first time, did not show any timidity, even if the role was not much, he also interpreted the cunning, vicious and professional characteristics of Xie Ruolin's bones that belonged to the intelligence peddlers, and he conquered the audience with his strength and opened a channel for himself in the show business circle.
Cao Bingkun is an authentic Beijing native, born in the Zhengbaiqi Jue Luo clan, whose ancestors were woven in Jiangnan and is of the same clan as Cao Xueqin. The Cao family is a big family, the grandfather is the famous Peking Opera master Cao Yunqing, it is said that when he was a child, because of the strict rules in the family, Cao Bingkun was not beaten less.
Cao Bingkun, who did not have good grades due to greed, watched Zhang Guorong and Yuan Yongyi's movie "Full Of Han" in junior high school, and felt that Zhang Guorong was very handsome with a pot, so he also had the idea of being a chef. Too young he was not clear at the time, and perhaps it was not the chef who attracted him, but the acting.
Cao Bingkun applied for the vocational high school to learn cooking.
The stars in the movie hold a knife in one hand and a spoon in the other, and make the cooking raw into a cool and handsome martial arts film. However, in reality, those handsome shots are illusions, and Cao Bingkun also knows for the first time that it is not so easy to be a chef.
Taking out the garbage, laying hands, and washing vegetables are the daily routines of Cao Bingkun's daily internship in quanjude kitchen. Fortunately, he is a hard-working, hard-working person, and gradually from a primary school apprentice at the beginning to a second-level chef who can independently take charge of dishes, pulling silk apples, burning duck hearts, and stewed duck soup are his specialties.
The young Cao Bingkun is really ready to be a good cook, with high salaries, good welfare, and learning to go anywhere. To this end, he is also ready to apply for another improvement class to improve his business level. As a result, I signed up for an acting study class with my neighbors.
Perhaps because of the talent for acting in her genes, Cao Bingkun's interest in acting increased greatly after she was exposed to acting, and the friends she met in the acting class were ambitious and ready to open a film and television company to shoot the Chinese version of "Titanic".
A few young and inexperienced friends naturally returned home. But Cao Bingkun, who was deeply attracted by the performance, could not be willing to go back to work as a chef again.
Cao Bingkun was reluctant to give up the opportunity to act, and wandered all day at the door of The North Shadow, even if he could only be a group actor because he had no fame, he was willing to do so.
But the income of the group performance is extremely unstable, in order not to reach out to the family for living expenses, Cao Bingkun rents a dark basement, but also comforts himself: it doesn't matter, good villains live in a community with the star teacher Huang Lei. In order to reduce the pressure of life, he often followed the teacher to act in dramas, and also did game training.
This kind of hard life sometimes makes Cao Bingkun very confused, does not listen to the opinions of his family, gives up a stable job, and lives a precarious group performance life, how long can he persist in such a day?
Later, Liu Chang, a teacher at Nortel, recommended Cao Bingkun to go to the crew of "Latent".
It is said that at the beginning of the role of Xie Ruolin, the director invited Ling Xiaosu to play. Yao Chen is the heroine, and her family came to the play as a green leaf, which is a win-win situation for both sides.
However, Ling Xiaosu rejected this role because of the schedule, and only then did he have the opportunity for Cao Bingkun to play Xie Ruolin.
Xie Ruolin does not play a lot of roles in the play, but there are many rival scenes with Yu Zecheng, played by Sun Honglei. At that time, Cao Bingkun was so excited that she wanted to shoot with her idol. It was Sun Honglei who always encouraged him, affirmed his acting skills, and gave him a thumbs up, so that he calmed down and won the hearts of the audience with superb acting skills.
With the popularity of "Latent", the role of Xie Ruolin is well known to the majority of the audience, and Cao Bingkun has also experienced the taste of overnight popularity, from his obscure group performance, xiaolong set, to the winner of the Best Newcomer Of the Year Award at the Southern Festival, from others picking him up, to getting sixteen scripts a month for him to choose.
Overnight fame. The sky is blue, the air is fresher, and there are many people around.
But Cao Bingkun left a sequelae because of "Latent", and for more than a year after that, he stuttered.
Cao Bingkun then took over the filming of "Gentle Betrayal", "Urban Life", "Decisive Battle brake horse town", "Breeze blowing love", "Golden Code", "Adolescence Bumps into Menopause" and other dramas.
Although they are all supporting roles, the cooperation is a popular star, and Cao Bingkun is no longer an unknown little person.
Until a "Infiltration", Cao Bingkun defeated the first male protagonist in the play, Sha Yi, and won the best actor in the 11th Huading Awards for a TV series on the theme of China's modern revolution with the role of a villain.
This is the highlight of Cao Bingkun's life. But soon, he suffered the biggest blow in his acting career.
For a favorite role, Cao Bingkun fiercely rejected many scripts, spent a lot of time figuring out the role, and spent a whole year preparing for the role. In the end, for some reason, Cao Bingkun still failed to play this role.
There are many newcomers in the entertainment industry, and no works have come out for more than a year, not only the directors are about to forget Cao Bingkun, but the audience has also forgotten him.
Everything seems to have returned to its original origin, the sky has turned gray, the air is full of depression, the people who used to be around are gradually moving away, and after the prosperity, only the cold is left.
After a period of silence, Cao Bingkun finally understood: he wanted to be an actor, not a star; he loved acting, not fame.
Throwing away the burden in his heart and starting again, Cao Bingkun began to keep a distance from fame and immersed himself in honing his acting skills. He is not hyped and rarely appears on variety shows, in addition to showing the audience his superb acting skills in film and television works, he can rarely find information about him on the Internet.
In the choice of roles, Cao Bingkun does not pick a position, loves to choose that kind of complex, contradictory, and characteristic characters to interpret, for him each role is a challenge, he through the careful observation of life, to create a reasonable and accurate image, to bring the audience a better viewing experience.
No matter how long he has been in the industry, Cao Bingkun always has his persistence, stubbornness and love for the performance, as he said: "Victory over opponents is only the winner of life, and victory over oneself is the strong man of destiny." ”
