There is a person named Xu Guangming in the Chinese film and television industry, he is an actor who often appears in various historical film and television dramas, his acting skills are superb and can be called an old drama bone, and there are many big names in the actors he has cooperated with, such as Gu Yue, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Baoguo and so on.
Maybe the author said so many clues, you still can't remember where this actor named Xu Guangming is sacred, no way, he is too low-key.
If I mention a few characters, you can probably think of Chen Changjie in "Armageddon", Liu Kan in "Weiwei Kunlun", Yan Xishan in "Taihang Mountain", and Hu Zongnan in "The Great March Sweeps the Great Southwest", you should be able to remember it.
Also, Lu Fang in "Daming Dynasty 1566", is there still an impression?
This is Xu Guangming, a very special old drama bone.
First, a special life
Xu Guangming was born in 1944, and at the age of 16, he studied in the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy, then joined the Air Politics Cultural and Labor Troupe as an actor, and transferred to the Bayi Film Studio at the age of 35.
Looking at these resumes, Xu Guangming does not seem to be special, but his place of origin is Jinzhai in Anhui, and when he hears this place name, readers familiar with history can guess that he is likely to be a descendant of the old Red Army.
Yes, Xu Guangming's father was the founding major general Xu Qihai, who joined the Red Army in 1928, and then went through the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Therefore, in terms of origin, Xu Guangming is actually more prominent than Han Xue, but he has starred in countless film and television dramas, but few people know the identity of his father.
Second, a special acting career
In 1974, Xu Guangming starred as the pilot Meng Shenggang in the movie "Long Sky Eagle", when he was Chinese New Year's Eve years old, he was heroic and had a fighting hero's style. Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of his film and television career, and it was also one of his few positive character images.
In the 1980s, Xu Guangming has starred in some famous films, such as "Little Flower", "Tonight's Starry Night" and "Xu Mao and His Daughters", of which he and Tang Guoqiang have cooperated the most, but he did not expect that the two would cooperate more in the future.
Xu Guangming starred as Guangdong warlord Chen Jiongming in the 1983 film Liao Zhongkai, and since then he has begun his acting career as a senior Kuomintang general.
In 1987, in the movie "Ancient City Love Hate", Xu Guangming first played Gu Zhutong, the chief of staff of the Nationalist Army, which became his frequent role in the future, and then he starred in "The New Fourth Army" and "Jiangyin Fortress".
In the "Armageddon" that is more familiar to the audience, Xu Guangming starred as Chen Changjie, the commander of the Tianjin garrison. In addition, in 1988's "Wei Wei Kunlun", he starred as the military commander Liu Kan. Chen Cheng starred in "The Decisive Battle of Northern Jiangsu".
In the two works of "The Decisive Battle of China's Destiny" and "The Great March Sweeps the Great Southwest", Xu Guangming starred in Hu Zongnan.
In some other film and television dramas, he also starred in Chiang Ching-kuo and He Yingqin, so that he completed the roles of He Yingqin, Gu Zhutong, and Chen Cheng, the central generals of the Kuomintang.
Xu Guangming's most familiar role in the national army is Yan Xishan, his first appearance in Yan Laoxi was in "Yan'an Song", since then he has been out of control, respectively, in "Taihang Mountain", "Eighth Route Army", "Peng Xuefeng", "Dongfang" and other dramas have starred in Yan Xishan.
It is not easy for an Anhui person to play Yan Xishan in a Shanxi dialect.
To sum up, Xu Guangming's film and television career has successively starred in Yan Xishan, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng, Jiang Jingguo, Hu Zongnan, Chen Changjie, Liu Kan and many other senior Kuomintang generals, saying that he is a "professional general of the Nationalist Army".
Not an exaggeration at all.
To be honest, although sometimes it is always a little awkward to see Xu Guangming in various historical film and television dramas, because you can't guess who he is playing at first glance, and it is easy to string dramas. But I have to admit that Xu Guangming has his own acting characteristics, and every role he plays is not bland, such as Liu Kan, who he played in "Weiwei Kunlun", which is quite distinctive, and Chen Changjie in "Armageddon", which is also very impressive.
As for Yan Xishan, he played, it was basically an insurmountable role. 、
Third, low-key acting school and old drama bones
If you think that Xu Guangming will only play a senior general of the Nationalist Army, then you are really underestimating him, he is a real old drama bone and acting school.
In his later years, Xu Guangming had two well-known film and television dramas, one was the 2009 Shanxi TV series "Dajingmen", which is also another contribution of Xu Guangming to Shanxi Province, after all, playing so much Yan Xishan is not in vain.
The other is the well-known "Daming Dynasty 1566", in which Xu Guangming played Lü Fang, the "inner minister" of the city government, that is, the grand eunuch next to the Jiajing Emperor. Many people think that the actor who plays Lü Fang has quite good acting skills, but few people will think that this old drama bone who plays Lü Fang has actually played so many senior officials of the National Army.
Thanks to the work "Daming Dynasty 1566", Xu Guangming let us appreciate his truly extraordinary acting skills.
We look at the cast list that Xu Guangming has worked with, almost all of them are big-name stars, but he is willing to be the green leaves next to or opposite these big-name celebrities, the acting skills are superb but low-key, and even his unfortunate death in 2015 has not attracted much attention in the film and television industry.
Alas, when I see modern historical film and television dramas in the future, I don't know how many people can remember this former national army professional.
