"After decades of working in the arts, I don't think I'm going the wrong way, and the key to this is to be mindful in everything I do."
As a national first-class actor, Xu Wenguang has been floating in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, creating one classic role after another for the audience. In "In the Name of the People", he is the slippery and hypocritical Ding Yizhen, in "The Legend of Chu and Han", he is Zhao Gao, who is step by step, and in "The Legend of Miyue", he is also the loyal and intimate Mujian... As Xu Wenguang said in the interview, no matter how big or small the role is, he will perform it wholeheartedly.
Recently, with the hit of the TV series "Public Prosecution", Xu Wenguang has brought a new president "Yin Huiquan", and many partners have lamented that Xu Wenguang has raised the level of the entire drama after watching it, which is probably the charm of the old drama bones.
Not only has a successful career, Xu Wenguang has also managed love and family very well. After marrying his wife who is 9 years younger, he has been in love so far, and he has given birth to twin sons, and he is now very contentious...
01.
Xu Wenguang was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in 1960. His father was a soldier and his mother was a doctor accompanying the team. Shortly after Xu Wenguang was born, his father was transferred to the Northeast Army to station, and his mother also took Xu Wenguang to Beijing after confinement.
At that time, it was a cold winter month, the northern winter wind pierced his face, Xu Wenguang just arrived in Beijing and fell seriously ill, and then allergies and tonsil inflammation followed.
Seeing that his son could not adapt to the environment, as a parent, he had no choice but to send Xu Wenguang to his grandmother's house in Hangzhou.
Since then, Xu Wenguang has embarked on a journey of wandering and uncertainty, often in the north in spring and summer, and in the south in autumn and winter.
In 1972, Xu Wenguang reached the age of junior high school. My parents thought that the country was floating around anyway, so it was better to be a literary soldier. Not only can I be with my parents with the army, but I can also participate in performances and exercise.
But not everyone can be a literary soldier, like Xu Wenguang, who can neither dance nor sing and recite, should not have passed the admission exam. It was still the examiner who saw Xu Wenguangchang's upright atmosphere, so he reluctantly accepted him.
During his work in the literary team, Xu Wenguang has been trying to enrich himself, and soon changed from a five-tone incomplete Qinqi book to a complete picture. Among the many activities of the literary team, Xu Wenguang's favorite is to perform dramas.
With the increase in the number of performances, Xu Wenguang gained many fans and became a backbone member of the art team.
According to Xu Wenguang's later recollection in an interview: "At that time, I really didn't expect that I was very talented in acting, and there were many audiences every time, and after acting for a while, I felt that I could take the path of an actor." ”
In this way, Xu Wenguang cherished his dream, worked harder and harder to study his acting skills, and finally in 1977, he was successfully admitted to the Jilin Repertory Troupe and bid farewell to the army propaganda team.
After joining the drama troupe, Xu Wenguang thought that he could be exposed to many performances and sharpen his acting skills in a deeper way.
I didn't think that he was an actor in name, but he became a handyman in the troupe. In the first three months, Xu Wenguang did not receive the play, and he has been cleaning and sorting out props in the background.
Fortunately, he met his fellow countryman Zhang Kaili, and the two supported each other and often played together and survived that difficult time. It wasn't until the fourth month that Xu Wenguang got the chance to be on stage. However, they are also some nobodies.
Every time the family asked about the current situation, Xu Wenguang could only be vague. Secretly improve yourself behind the scenes and wait for the opportunity to come. Finally, a character in a certain group could not find anyone, Xu Wenguang recommended himself, and successfully relied on this role to brush his face in the group and become famous.
The regiment leader found that Xu Wenguang was a malleable talent, so he encouraged him: "Come on and work hard, with your talent and hard work, in the three or five years of mixing, you will definitely get the big in the group." ”
The leader's pie is fragrant and tempting, but Xu Wenguang is a very demanding person, and after spending a while in the drama troupe, he finds that he can't learn anything here, and immediately decides that he abandons the stable job that other members of the troupe dream of and applies to a better art school.
In 1981, he was admitted to the acting department of Jilin Art College. In 1985, after four years of training, Xu Wenguang graduated from Jilin Art Institute and switched to the development of the China Coal Mine Cultural Troupe.
It is worth mentioning that there were only two admission places in the China Coal Cultural Labor Group that year, and in addition to Xu Wenguang, the other place was actually his old friend Zhang Kaili.
I have to say that the two have a deep bond, they have supported each other since they were teenagers, and they have partnered with couples many times, which can be regarded as childhood sweethearts and golden partners.

After starting to drift north, Xu Wenguang began to accept large and small scripts. From supporting role to protagonist, he always lives up to the role and does not live up to the audience. After serving as the male number one of "Special Reporter", he began to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
In 1989, Xu Wenguang participated in "The Golden Thief". In the play, he played the role of "Yang Kai" is a public security, although there are not many scenes and no similar experience, but Xu Wenguang still firmly grabbed the audience's attention in rare shots with years of accumulation, making "The Golden Thief" his stepping stone.
The following year, he received an invitation from the famous director Chen Jialin to play An Qingxu, the eldest son of An Lushan in "Tang Ming Emperor". With his good acting skills, he has accumulated many fans, and in the following years, he has successively participated in works such as "Cultural Circle" and "100 Days of Ghosts".
It is said that starting a family and starting a business are the two most important things in a man's life, and Xu Wenguang has already established a business, then he has to consider the issue of starting a family.
At that time, there were many people who matched Xu Wenguang and Zhang Kaili, and relatives and friends felt that the two were like-minded and had the right family, and the most important thing was to be able to support each other. But the two have always maintained an unfulfilled relationship between friends and lovers, and no matter what others say, they have never been able to go further.
But in fact, Xu Wenguang hid a person in his heart long ago, that is, Yang Hong, the daughter of his teacher of the literary troupe.
When he was in the cultural troupe, one day Xu Wenguang went out to borrow alcohol to relieve his worries because of his unsuccessful career, and he rode a motorcycle in a daze after drinking and had a car accident. There is nothing big about the person, but the calf is bruised and broken. Many acquaintances heard that he had "accident" and went to the hospital to visit, including Yang Hong, who was 9 years younger than him.
During Xu Wenguang's hospitalization, Yang Hong brought fruit to visit from time to time. As soon as they came and went, the two became familiar. Xu Wenguang fell in love with Yang Hong's gentleness, and Yang Hong also admired this down-to-earth and handsome man.
After seeing his daughter's intentions, Xu Wenguang's teacher also intended to match the two. Originally, Xu Wenguang was still worried that the age difference between the two was too big, and he was afraid of the teacher to confess. After discovering the teacher's thoughts, Xu Wenguang began to boldly pursue his wife.
Five years later, the two entered the marriage hall, and when Xu Wenguang was 36 years old, Yang Hong gave birth to a pair of twin sons for him. One named Xu Jinwu, one named Xu Jinyan, the last two words of the brothers combined are another Xu character.
Twins are a genetic lottery, which should be a happy event for most people. But for Xu Wenguang, the twins made him feel a lot more pressure. Because they were premature babies, the twins were very weak, and they entered the incubator without looking at them at birth. Later, out of the incubator, the two little boys were also weaker than their peers.
At that time, Xu Wenguang was just an ordinary actor and did not earn much every month. In order to improve the family environment, Xu Wenguang began to find a way to earn money, and at the suggestion of a friend, Xu Wenguang began to contact the production work.
From "New Three Kingdoms" to "Beautiful Fields", Xu Wenguang produced part-time while acting, and handed over a satisfactory answer to fans.
There is also a small episode here, when filming "New Three Kingdoms", the crew faced a problem: none of the actors found were satisfied with their roles.
Yu Hewei especially wanted to play Cao Cao, but the director had already given the role to Chen Jianbin; Yu Hewei wanted to play Sima Yi again, but Sima Yi gave Ni Dahong early. Ni Dahong is also not satisfied with his role, and the role he wants to play the most is Guan Yu.
After going around in circles, I really can't take care of everyone. The director had to open the flickering mode with Xu Wenguang, and finally everyone got on the "thief ship" to complete the classic and good drama of "New Three Kingdoms".

After filming "New Three Kingdoms", Xu Wenguang's script became more and more excellent. From Zhang Mingqi in "Xinhai Revolution" to Mu Jian in "The Legend of Miyue", the roles he played are becoming more and more diverse and three-dimensional.
Although Xu Wenguang's acting skills have always been recognized, in the first decades of his career, he played some supporting roles that were not popular. What really made him widely known was the role of "Ding Yizhen" in "In the Name of the People".
Ding Yizhen is full of "integrity" in the play, but there is continuous corruption behind the scenes, and even when he escapes, he does not forget to perform his "selfless integrity" in front of the driver, which can be said to be hypocritical to the extreme.
It is such a character that Xu Wenguang played him vividly, causing many audiences to be unable to play, and looking at Xu Wenguang felt the itch of hatred. In fact, at the very beginning, Xu Wenguang was a little hesitant when he heard that he wanted to play a corrupt official, because his previous image of playing Zhao Gao's old traitor and cunning has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if he plays the villain, he is likely to become a villain professional.
Later, the director "forced" Xu Wenguang to finish reading the entire script, and Xu Wenguang found: Hey? It seems that the 11 characters in the play are villains, and he gritted his teeth and took it.
In order to play Ding Yizhen well, Xu Wenguang also put in a lot of effort. He practiced several English lines in the play for months. The kung fu paid off, and after the show was broadcast, the role of Ding Yizhen really caught fire and ushered in a lot of discussion.
According to Xu Wenguang's own account, after the drama was broadcast, friends often called him and asked, is Ding Yizhen short of money? Is Ding Yizhen going to the United States? Even for a while, Xu Wenguang would hear passers-by whispering on the street: This is Ding Yizhen, that big badass!
At that time, Xu Wenguang was 57 years old, and with this drama, he finally ushered in the peak of his career. Since then, he has also maintained high production, and 18 years later, he has successively starred in works such as "Heroes of Fire", "Circuit Inspection Group", and "Heroes of Fire".
Xu Wenguang is 63 years old this year, but he is still active in front of the screen. This year, the audience also brought two works, "Public Prosecution" and "A Generation of Craftsmen".
While insisting on acting, Xu Wenguang also takes care of his family very well. and his wife Yang Hong immediately entered the golden marriage, and the two sons were also engaged in the film and television industry under the influence of their father. Studied at Shanghai Theater Academy and Chinese opera respectively, with a promising future.
People's energy is limited, and if you do something, you must do something. Xu Wenguang put all his energy into acting, and it turned out that he became an excellent actor.
All impermanence is just ordinary, I hope that Xu Wenguang, an old drama bone, can be healthy, and his wife will grow old, and continue to produce classic roles for us in the future!
