Film and television dramas with themes such as "police and bandits" and "anti-gang" have always had relatively high ratings, and the role of "police" is naturally indispensable for this kind of theme, some actors don't look like police, but some actors have no sense of disobedience when they wear police uniforms, and that kind of innate deterrence can be felt across the screen.
For example, Wang Ting, who is good at playing a "tough guy", many viewers don't know what he did before entering the showbiz?
In fact, when Wang Ting was 16 years old, he was admitted to Jilin Public Security High School, and he has been a sports student since he was a child, learning Xi fencing, boxing, and sanda.
In 1991 he won the 75kg boxing championship and later won the National Sanda Invitational Championship. After graduating from university, Wang Ting was assigned to the Haikou City Public Security Bureau, transferred to the serious crime team, and also got a third-class personal merit.
By chance, Wang Ting entered the showbiz, and because he had a police resume, the director also deliberately asked Wang Ting to play the role of a "policeman".
Although Wang Ting is not a professional actor, he has experience as a police officer, so playing this kind of role is basically easy and not difficult.
In addition to Wang Ting, there is also Shi Zhaoqi in the "police professional", he has always played tough guys and soldiers, such as his famous work "Triumph in the Midnight", which seems to make people see a living soldier, and later participated in "Conquest", and played the policeman "Xu Guoqing" to life.
What many people don't know is that Shi Zhaoqi was a real soldier and later worked as a policeman.
As early as 1975, Shi Zhaoqi enlisted in the army, became a navy, and after 8 years of military career, Shi Zhaoqi was trained to become a qualified soldier.
After being discharged from the army, he was transferred to a police station as a police officer, and it was purely an accident that he entered the showbiz, because at that time, director You Xiaogang was choosing the protagonist of "Triumph in the Midnight", and when he saw Shi Zhaoqi for the first time, he decided that Shi Zhaoqi was Shi Zhaoqi.
At that time, he had been seconded to work at the Beijing Television Art Center many times, and Shi Zhaoqi did not shirk You Xiaogang's invitation, and in this way, he created a classic.
After that, he played this kind of role, and he also played it very well, he himself was tall, usually very serious, not smiling, just to go there, there was that kind of majesty.
If Shi Zhaoqi is acting in his true colors, then Wu Gang is really a little surprising, Wu Gang has debuted for many years, and the types of roles he has played have a wide range, including the role image of "police".
For example, in "Icebreaker", the role of "Li Weimin" left a deep impression on the audience. Wu Gang put on a police uniform, and seemed to have a very special feeling, although it was a little different from the image of "police" in our impression, but he was also upright.
What people didn't expect was that Wu Gang really worked as a policeman, when he was a child, Wu Gang liked acting, but after graduating from middle school, he listened to his parents and became a policeman.
In the eyes of others, this is a job worth showing off, but Wu Gang doesn't like this profession at all, he still has a heart for acting.
There is another reason why Wu Gang gave up the road of being a policeman, because Wu Gang was relatively timid when he was a child and would retreat when he encountered things, and it was because of this character that Wu Gang failed to be a qualified policeman.
In the end, despite the opposition of his family, he was admitted to the training class of the Beijing People's Theater and became an actor, and he has been in this industry for most of his life.
Wu Gang recalled that he had also made a correct decision, because only he knew what path he was suitable for.
It can only be said that everything is a coincidence and an arrangement of fate, in fact, there are many things in the entertainment industry that we can't think of.
