He is the arrogant devil officer Matsui Osa in the TV series "My Brother is Shunyo", he is the hated Japanese officer Konoe Wen in "Snow Leopard", and he is Kiichi Sakata in "My Name is Liu Legend", every role he plays is hateful, and the cruelty and treachery in the play are as true as he is.
It's also outrageous, although the actor of this "devil professional" is not Japanese, but he has always settled in Japan with his wife and children, unfortunately he is 66 years old and now dies in Japan, it can be said that his life is inextricably linked with Japan.
A popular work
For young people in the new era, in addition to receiving patriotic education in society or in the classroom, the most classic and direct way is the anti-Japanese war TV series or movies.
In the long history of the Anti-Japanese War TV series, there are many popular Anti-Japanese War TV series, "The Indelible Fan", "Militia Ge Erdan", "Bright Sword", "Changsha Defense War", the above TV series is not only a touching work, but also a mirror, allowing us to see the Chinese people's indomitable spirit of resistance to war, as well as the fearlessness and hard work of that era.
But then again, in addition to decent characters, there will be villains in anti-Japanese war TV dramas, the mad and inhumane little Yaga, and the Japanese officers who gave orders to kill the common people, and it is the evil and hateful villain image that can inspire everyone's patriotic feelings.
But for actors, playing the role of a villain is undoubtedly a great challenge, you must know that if you don't act, you will destroy your future, so many actors in the entertainment industry will not play the role of a villain.
Among them is also the "devil professional" Ma Weijun, who returned to China from Japan in middle age and entered the showbiz, without any connections, coupled with the problem of age, he has received very few plays, not even an eighteenth-tier actor.
But even so, Ma Weijun still insists on acting in his favorite roles, if there is no role, he will perform in a group, and if there is no crew to accept him, he will ask and find it one by one.
Fortunately, God favored him, and after countless encounters, Ma Weijun received an opportunity to play a Japanese officer, but it was not an opportunity, after all, the Japanese officer was a villain, and most actors were unwilling to act.
In fact, Ma Weijun was also very difficult when he first got the role, the villain said that it was not good after all, and if he acted well, it would affect real life, Li Mingqi, who played Mama Rong, was a good example, and he was thrown rotten eggs when he went out to buy vegetables, but this just shows that Li Mingqi's professionalism as an actor is a really good actor.
After thinking twice, Ma Weijun finally took over the Japanese officer who no one wanted to play.
In order to be able to play this role so hateful, Ma Weijun worked hard in private, learned about the knowledge of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and also found veterans who had really participated in the war to understand the hatred of the Japanese through the first perspective.
Not only that, in order to play the Japanese officer well, Ma Weijun also refined his speaking in Japanese, adding full emotions, tone and so on.
It is precisely because of Ma Weijun's efforts behind him that he won Nomura Osa in the movie "Guild Wars" in one fell swoop, and there is no doubt that this movie also made him successful and allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the "devil".
Subsequently, Ma Weijun began to enter the TV series, which coincided with the "Snow Leopard" crew finding him and letting him play the role of the biggest Japanese officer in the play, Konoe Fumi.
However, the difference from the movie is that in order to make the plot more realistic, Ma Weijun was required to speak Japanese during the recording, and when many actors learned that they needed to speak Japanese, they were incompetent and refused, you must know that the ghost officer Saito Taijun in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" at that time was played by Japanese actor Yano Koji.
Although he is Japanese, he did not speak Japanese throughout the recording, so it seems that speaking Japanese throughout the whole process is indeed quite a challenge.
But Ma Weijun has always been a character who does not admit defeat, he lived in Japan for a period of time before, and in order to play a good Japanese, he was also very modest to study Xi for a while, which is not a problem for him.
The result is also expected, Ma Weijun played the ghost officer Konoe Wen in the TV series "Snow Leopard", who speaks fluent Japanese, coupled with his overly realistic acting skills, and once encountered "cyber violence" from netizens.
At that time, Ma Weijun went to the street to buy vegetables, but was recognized by the grocery shopping aunt as the person who played the Japanese officer, and said that he would not sell it for any amount of money, which made him cry and laugh and speechless when he stood aside, although it was negative news, but it also showed that Ma Weijun's acting skills were recognized by the audience.
After that, Ma Weijun played countless villains on the screen, accounting for half of them, "Chinese Band of Brothers", "Black Fox", "Lonely War", etc., as long as he participated in the TV series, there is no doubt that the role of "devil" is his.
is vivid, hateful to the bone, and the truth is the greatest affirmation of Ma Weijun's role as a Japanese, so that many netizens can't help but question that this Japanese officer should be investigated, after all, he has been living in Japan, and even his marriage is controversial.
Controversial marriage
In the early years, Ma Weijun went to Japan to learn Xi acting skills, met his current wife, from acquaintance to love, and then to enter the palace of marriage, Ma Weijun's wife did not leave Japan, and even the wedding of the two was held in Japan, which made many people think that Ma Weijun married a Japanese daughter-in-law.
However, in response to netizens' questions, Ma Weijun did not give a positive answer or clarify, he still uses his works to speak, except for filming, he does not want to expose his life to the public eye.
So much so that it is still a mystery whether Ma Weijun's wife is Japanese or not.
At that time, Ma Weijun did not learn Xi acting after graduation, but entered a pharmaceutical factory at the suggestion of his parents, but he did not give up acting because he loved drama since he was a child.
Whenever he had time, he would go to the local repertory troupe to watch the performance, and sometimes when the performance was over, he would stand on the stage like a theatrical actor and recall the scene just now.
After that, more and more colleagues around him knew that Ma Weijun liked drama very much, especially those who had watched his performances, and they felt more and more that he was born for performance, so they encouraged him to let him realize his dreams, which led to the later "devil professional household".
Ma Weijun lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Lanzhou Repertory Theatre, and then in order to improve his acting skills, he went to Japan to learn Xi acting at the suggestion Xi of his teacher, during which he also learned Japanese, one is for life, and the other is to make his acting career a little wider.
During the performance of the Japanese Xi, Ma Weijun met his beloved girl, that is, his wife, and later the two entered the palace of marriage with the blessing of their families.
After the two got married in Japan, Ma Weijun couldn't let go of his favorite career and his parents in China, so he proposed to his wife the idea of returning to China for development.
But the wife didn't want to give up her career in Japan, so after several discussions, she asked Ma Weijun to change her mind, and the couple lived separately for a long time, and this separation lasted for 13 years.
In 2005, 49-year-old Ma Weijun entered the showbiz, although it was late, but after hard work, he finally had a place in the showbiz.
Due to his late blooming, Ma Weijun has some calmness at his age, and he did not float after living, but moved forward step by step in his favorite career and acting career, and he is also a very low-key and sincere person in life.
Although the devil officer he played is hateful, I have to say that in real life, he can't be low-key anymore, and even his death was learned from the Japanese media.
On September 13, 2023, media person Du Enhu posted that actor Mr. Ma Weijun died at the age of 66 due to ineffective treatment of throat cancer.
It is worth saying that Ma Weijun's wife did not show up, perhaps this is her husband's last protection for her, I have to say that the death of an old actor with such good conduct and good acting skills is undoubtedly a huge loss for the entertainment industry.
