Cao Zheng, a villain professional.
He is the lustful, weak, and unassertive Qian Yulang in "Red Sorghum"; or the lustful and short-sighted Chu Huaiwang with a fox smell in "The Legend of Miyue"; and the Wan heirloom who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and hangs the child in "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes".
But outside the play, he is indeed a good man, he has debuted for many years without scandals, and whenever he has time, he calls his wife to report his itinerary, and he bluntly says: "I can't do without my wife."
is such a person who loves his wife like his life, how did the director discover his "lustful" nature and let him play one scumbag after another?
1. The beginning of playing the villain
Cao Zheng's journey as a scumbag is closely related to director Zheng Xiaolong.
Zheng Xiaolong has led many well-known TV series, such as "Beijingers in New York", "Happiness Like Flowers", "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and so on.
In 2013, director Zheng Xiaolong decided to remake the famous novel "Red Sorghum", and when Cao Zheng heard the news, he came to audition for the first time.
He is full of anticipation and wants to win the role Zhang Junjie in it, Zhang Junjie satisfies all Cao Zheng's fantasies about the characters, honest and kind, knowledgeable, and the key is that he has several rival scenes with Zhou Xun.
Who knows, as soon as the makeup photos came out, Zheng Xiaolong felt that Cao Zheng was very suitable for Qian Yulang in it, he was handsome, but in the end he was a big villain, and he had a great sense of contrast.
But Cao Zheng didn't like this character very much, he thought that this character was stupid, selfish, and cheap, so he refused Director Zheng Xiaolong's request.
But he didn't expect director Zheng Xiaolong to identify Cao Zheng, he felt that Cao Zheng's eyes were very attractive to him, so in order to keep him, he immediately promised Cao Zheng that his next play would definitely leave a good role for Cao Zheng and bring his image back.
couldn't resist director Zheng Xiaolong, and at the same time looked forward to the next good role, Cao Zheng starred in Qian Yulang, and sure enough, as soon as the TV series "Red Sorghum" was launched, the role of Qian Yulang was scolded miserably.
At that time, Cao Zheng was also caught in cyberbullying because of this role, and he also specially posted that everyone should not involve family members when scolding, and when scolding, please use the name Yulang to scold.
In order to make everyone change their opinion of themselves, Cao Zheng can only silently look forward to a good character to find himself as soon as possible, so that the audience can change their opinion of themselves.
In 2014, he received the character script from director Zheng Xiaolong, who knows, after reading the script, he was fooled.
2. Play many villains
At that time, Zheng Xiaolong decided to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of Miyue", which was another costume drama by director Zheng Xiaolong after filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Cao Zheng was naturally looking forward to it, and at the same time, he was also thinking about what role Director Zheng Xiaolong would let him play?
Whether it is Huang Xie, who has excellent talents and is eager to make contributions and leave a name in history, or Zhang Yi, who is clever and calculating and does not lose his duties, or Zhang Yi, who is witty and arrogant, he can accept it.
But what he didn't expect was that after reading the script, he found that Director Zheng Xiaolong wanted him to play the mediocre and lascivious Chu Huai Wang.
Cao Zheng immediately called Zheng Xiaolong to inquire, who knew that Director Zheng Xiaolong replied that he was a king anyway, and it was a pity not to play a king once in his life, but the last time he was scolded and scared, Cao Zheng said that he was not willing to play such a role.
There was no way, Director Zheng Xiaolong had to call his wife Song Chacha and ask Song Chacha to persuade him, and under the persuasion of his wife, Cao Zheng played the villain Chu Huaiwang again.
As soon as this role came out, Cao Zheng became completely popular, he had a fox smell, but he still loved beauties, a cheap smile, a king of a dead country, no matter which one he picked up, it made the audience hate itchy.
Since then, it seems that there is a stereotype, and many similar characters have found Cao Zheng, such as the smart, ruthless, selfish and cunning Ji Liancai in the TV series "Hunter", and Liang Tingdong, Yuan Chonghuan's biggest rival in the TV series "Yuan Chonghuan".
But it didn't stir up any splash, until Cao Zheng in this year's hit drama "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", as soon as the Wan heirloom he played came out, everyone called him a villain, and sure enough, as soon as it was broadcast, Cao Zheng had a vulgar marriage trouble, and everyone wanted to rush in and beat him, and even Zhao Liying's happiness beat him, everyone shouted that he was beaten lightly, and a few more times.
However, who would have thought that such a villain professional household and a hateful person would indeed be an infatuated husband in real life.
3. Lustful hardy
Cao Zheng and his wife Song Chacha met in the TV series "Home in Huanshang", when filming rival scenes, Cao Zheng fell in love with Song Chacha at first sight, and then launched various pursuits for Song Chacha.
But in fact, Song Chacha was annoyed by Cao Zheng in her heart, because Song Chacha felt that Cao Zheng was too good at talking, pestering herself every day, from dawn to dark, she was annoyed, and he was still talking.
But in fact, in addition to being a means for Cao Zheng to pursue Song Chacha, Cao Zheng himself has a lot of words, and he can talk to anyone he can talk to.
So this also led to Song Chacha not realizing that Cao Zheng was pursuing himself at all, and fortunately Cao Zheng and Song Chacha cooperated in seven plays, in these seven plays, Cao Zheng asked Song Chacha for warmth, and was considerate of all kinds before Song Chacha was taken.
But this was opposed by Song Chacha's parents, because Cao Zheng had not yet become a big fire at that time, he was poor and white, and in addition, Song Chacha's parents thought that there were too many temptations in the entertainment industry, and thought that the two were just impulsive and did not think about it at all.
For this reason, Song Chacha's father also talked with Cao Zheng for nearly two hours, and finally saw Cao Zheng's determination clearly, so he agreed to have a relationship between the two.
In 2010, Cao Zheng launched a romantic marriage proposal to Song Chacha, both of them were in the crew at that time, Cao Zheng and Song Chacha had a rival scene, who knew that when it was Cao Zheng's turn to say his lines, Cao Zheng didn't follow the script and left, and Song Chacha was in a hurry at first.
Who knew that Cao Zheng calmly took out the ring and proposed to Song Chacha in front of the whole crew, Song Chacha was very moved and agreed to Cao Zheng's proposal on the spot.
A year after marriage, Song Chacha was pregnant, in order to take care of Song Chacha, Cao Zheng pushed away a large number of scenes at hand, and when Song Chacha gave birth, the two decided that Cao Zheng would go out to film, and Song Chacha would take care of the children at home.
Therefore, Cao Zheng thinks that he has delayed his wife's career development, so he has a lot of love for his wife in life, and now the two are both children and daughters, and the family of four is very happy.
So how did Cao Zheng embark on the road of acting? There is also a small story in this.
4. The road to acting
Cao Zheng, born in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province in 1984, his parents are ordinary workers, and his parents' biggest wish is that he can be admitted to a university, and Cao Zheng is secretly working hard for this, until one thing changes his mind.
At that time, when Cao Zheng was in high school, once a crew came to recruit a group performer, Cao Zheng and several classmates signed up, and before filming, the director team shaved their heads.
As a result, when filming, because Cao Zheng was going to appear late, Cao Zheng waited on the side, but he didn't expect everyone to leave, and Cao Zheng hadn't been called yet, so Cao Zheng realized that he had been forgotten.
The next day, listening to his partners tell interesting stories about filming, Cao Zheng secretly vowed that he would shoot a TV series one day.
So, when he signed up for the college entrance examination, he decisively applied to the Beijing Film Academy, although he did not go through systematic training, but Cao Zheng's luck was not bad, and he was admitted with the first grade in the class.
Due to his poor grades, Cao Zheng had no one to partner with him at all in the early days of his freshman year, and Cao Zheng complained to the teacher, but he only got a criticism to make him reflect on himself.
Cao Zheng realized his shortcomings at this time, and he caught up, becoming the leader of their class in his sophomore year, and in his junior year, he filmed his first TV series "Eight Heroes" and officially entered the showbiz.
