The days when he first entered the showbiz were painful and long for Dong Yong. At first, with his love and longing for acting, he quit his official job just to chase his dream of acting.
Who knew that the road to acting was difficult, and the threshold constantly hindered his progress. Interviews and auditions failed one after another, and Dong Yong could only take on temporary jobs such as tricks and stand-ins to barely make ends meet.
On the long journey, Dong Yong has been shaken and desperate in his heart many times, and even wants to give up halfway.
In the most difficult years, Dong Yong began to reflect on and summarize his shortcomings. He understands that the limited level of acting skills is an obstacle, and he must work hard to improve himself.
So, Dong Yong began to live a life of hard training behind closed doors, he participated in various performance training classes, and learned basic skills from teachers. During the day, he studied a large number of texts and devoted himself to rehearsals in the evenings.
In this long and lonely process, Dong Yong gradually accumulated acting skills and realized the essence of acting.
At the age of 37, Dong Yong finally ushered in a turning point in his life. He played a supporting role in the TV series "Six Groups of Serious Cases", which was the first time he had a place on the screen.
The audience was deeply impressed by the portrayal of this small character and praised the superb acting skills. As soon as the TV series ended, Dong Yong received several invitations for new scripts. Since then, his acting career has been on the right track and has begun to improve.
Looking back now, this long 37 years can be said to be a period of accumulation of acting skills, and today's small achievements are the result of those unknown hard work and sweat.
When his career was booming, Dong Yong's first marriage broke down. As an actor, he travels extensively and rarely has time to spend with his wife. Gradually, the relationship between the two was left out in the cold, and the originally sweet love faded to temperature.
At this time, Dong Yong's most beloved sister passed away due to illness, which made matters worse. Faced with the sudden change, Dong Yong fell into extreme grief and closed himself off.
He no longer tried to salvage the relationship, and let the marriage run aground. After the divorce, Dong Yong thought that he would never find true love. Once, he gave his heart and soul away, but in exchange for the end of separation. This marriage has hurt him too deeply, and he no longer believes in the so-called marriage.
"I am destined to spend my life alone", Dong Yong thought. He put all his energy into his work, trying to fill the emptiness in his heart through hard work.
On the surface, he is full of confidence and majesty on the stage, but in fact, his heart is already full of holes. Those days and nights of rehearsals were all hiding his despair.
Dong Yong was 46 years old that year, which was the most confused and low period in his life. Fortunately, God took pity on the hardships he experienced, and soon let Dong Yong meet the spring of his life again.
After all, the god of fate has not forgotten his hard-working son. At the age of 46, Dong Yong encountered another turning point in his life. This year, his sister-in-law dragged him to a blind date. thought it would end in failure again, but that day's blind date Zheng Jiayan made Dong Yong refreshed.
This girl who is 9 years younger than herself is gentle and generous, and her gestures are full of intelligence and intelligence. The two hit it off at first sight and talked eloquently about the topic of opera. It turned out that Zheng Jiayan also had a soft spot for Peking Opera, and her insights impressed Dong Yong.
After the blind date, Dong Yong's depressed view of marriage began to change. He found himself unreservedly confiding in front of a strange woman, and longed to see each other again.
Soon, he mustered up the courage to confess his heart to Zheng Jiayan, and the other party also accepted this intention with a red face. The relationship between the two was soothing, and they tied the knot within a year.
The 47-year-old Dong Yong became a husband for the second time, and when he put on the wedding ring again, he was excited. With Zheng Jiayan's company, the haze in Dong Yong's life gradually dissipated. He began to learn to look forward and focus more on his career and family. A year later, Zheng Jiayan gave birth to a lovely daughter for him.
Holding his flesh and bones, Dong Yong thanked God from the bottom of his heart. He vowed to spend the rest of his life taking care of this family and never let his wife and children suffer a little grievance. Since then, he has lifted his weight on the stage and assumed more important responsibilities under the curtain.
After remarrying, Dong Yong's acting career reached a new peak. With the full support of his wife, he was able to devote himself to his acting career. In order to portray the characters in depth, Dong Yong began to adopt the method of "tracking and framing", in which he would integrate into the environment where some important historical figures lived during their lifetimes, and feel and understand their inner world by observing those details.
This method has greatly improved the level and three-dimensionality of his characters. When Dong Yong starred as the protagonist in the TV series "Marshal Peng Dehuai", he played it on the spot in this way. In order to accurately interpret the founding general, Dong Yong specially went to Peng Dehuai's residence before his death.
He flipped through a lot of historical background materials and took a closer look at the setting. Through these immersive experiences, Dong Yong successfully demonstrated Peng Dehuai's inner courage and fortitude.
He made his interpretation of this historical figure full of flesh and blood, lifelike, and deeply moved the audience. After the end of the play, Dong Yong gained the highest popularity and reputation in his acting career. After successfully creating such a classic character, he also deepened his confidence and understanding of his acting skills.
Starting from the role of Peng Dehuai, Dong Yong has reached the peak of his acting skills, and no one will question the strength of this "late bloomer" actor.
Looking back, Dong Yong is sure that remarrying Zheng Jiayan, who was introduced by his sister-in-law, is the most correct decision in his life. At the age of 46, he was in the most confused and low stage of his life, and everything seemed gloomy.
Fortunately, he met Zheng Jiayan, a wife who opened a new window for him. She used warmth to dispel the haze in Dong Yong's heart, and let the sunshine shine on her life again.
With Zheng Jiayan, Dong Yong became positive and optimistic. He regained his love of life and worked hard to raise their daughter. This hard-won happiness made Dong Yong understand that as long as he pays sincerely, God will eventually favor him.
Now every time he picks up his daughter, he will sincerely thank fate for the favor of him and let him meet such a good wife.
After remarrying, Dong Yong's acting career also reached a new height. With the spiritual support of his wife, he went all out into the role, successfully created a classic character image, and became famous.
The trauma caused by the departure of the first marriage has faded, and it has been replaced by a double harvest of family and career. When Dong Yong looks back on his future, he is very pleased to think that the introduction of his sister-in-law has changed his life.
