The plot of "Sweeping The Black Storm" continues to advance, and the audience's interest gradually shifts from the hatred of the villain to who is the real behind-the-scenes umbrella. From He Yun, deputy director of Luteng City, to Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng, and even He Yong, who rushed to the front line, he has become the object of everyone's suspicion. These people are more or less, in terms of language, looks, and attitudes, deliberately creating some imagination space for the audience, and in turn, they think that this may also be a deliberate release of smoke bombs to disturb everyone's audiovisuality, and then give you a big surprise to achieve a fascinating effect.
The more inconspicuous the role, in the end often becomes a key character, the "Zhao Ligen" who shows very little face in the play and even becomes a marginal role should attract everyone's attention.
Zhao Ligen, played by Hou Changrong, is elegant, introverted, and low-key, standing in the crowd, he is always the person standing behind "Luo ShanHe", it is difficult for you to pay special attention to him. This may really be a good actor's superb acting skills, not stealing the scene, not making a splash, everything depends on the role, and sometimes even humbles himself to the dust, obviously Hou Changrong understands and controls this role very well.
Many people know Hou Changrong through the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", in which he played the two roles of The King of Beijing and Liu Xianglian, which left a deep impression on everyone. Hou Changrong is handsome and beautiful, and exudes an unworldly temperament. He has both the inner show of the southerner and the perseverance of the northerner, and the show and not the charm is the best evaluation of him.
It is precisely because of starring in "Dream of the Red Chamber", but also let Hou Changrong harvest his love, in the process of filming, he and Chen Jianyue, the actor of "Xiangling", fell in love at first sight, and then did not delay, and the two soon married.
That era is like this, meet the right person never ink, love should be two people's life, confirm the right person, not so complicated, and modern people just think too much, the result of the right people one by one accurately missed.
After this, Hou Changrong put more time into the family, the number of works is not much, most of them are some supporting roles with few scenes, so they are gradually forgotten by the audience. But this did not affect his love of acting, in the few roles, he constantly summarized, and constantly improved his acting skills, gradually from a handsome guy with a clear eyebrow, to an "old drama bone" whose acting skills were relaxed.
The audience remembered him again, or the 2019 hit drama "All Is Good", in which he played the father-in-law of "Su Mingcheng", that is, the father of "Zhu Li" played by Li Nian. Although there are not many scenes, Hou Changrong vividly shows the image of a father with a gentle temperament and good cultivation in front of the audience, which is in stark contrast with "Su Daqiang" played by Ni Dahong.
Many people all admire that such a good temperament of male actors is rare in the circle.
And in "Sweeping The Black Storm", why should the inconspicuous "Zhao Ligen" be suspected of being a villain?
First of all, it stems from his position in the play, as the director of the provincial anti-gang crime office and the deputy secretary of the political and legal committee, the problem of black-related crime in Luteng City is so serious, he must be inseparable.
But in the play, he is surprisingly low-key, rarely expressing his own views, and for the progress of some cases, it is like an outsider. This overly low-key, humble attitude is questionable, and what he is hiding from, or afraid of revealing, should cause thinking.
And Hou Changrong's ingenious and non-leaking performance portrays this character very wonderfully, and if you want to read it, you can't miss every shot of "Zhao Ligen". In the film, "Zhao Ligen's every move, and even every look, seems to be conveying something to the audience. The best part of the show is that it's not until the last minute, and it's hard to figure out what role everyone is playing in the process.
