The sketch king was intoxicated on the stage and received full applause
"Ding Dong-" As soon as the bell rang, 13-year-old Huang Hong trotted into the gate of the Shenyang Art Troupe with a heavy schoolbag.
He was full of joy and excitement - despite his father's strong opposition, Huang Hong still mustered up the courage to apply for the performance major of the art troupe and won the first place.
The lights on the stage are too attractive for this teenager who was born in a family of performers. Huang Hong looked at the seniors who were rehearsing outside the window, his eyes were full of longing, and he couldn't wait to be one of them.
The training of the art troupe is extremely strict, and they have to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning every day to rehearse. But Huang Hong never complained, and he threw himself into this seemingly boring process.
High-intensity physical training and vocal lessons, Huang Hong completed them all carefully.
"Teacher, do I still have any shortcomings?" After the rehearsal, Huang Hong always humbly asked for advice. He pays attention to the details of each senior's performance, strives to digest and absorb it, and then integrates it into his own performance.
At the age of 14, Huang Hong completed his first independent performance. He wrote, directed, and acted in a sketch that vividly and wittily exposed some of the shortcomings of society.
The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
"That's great! This kid has a bright future. Huang Hong on the stage smiled slightly and bowed slightly to the applause. He was full of pride and excitement – the success of his first performance was a sign that a smooth sailing was unfolding in front of him.
The gold portfolio was disbanded, and Huang Hong hit another peak
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1989, Huang Hong got his wish and stood on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The audience was filled with audiences from all over the country, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous in front of the microphone.
Just a moment before the rehearsal, an energetic actress came over and stretched out her hand to him enthusiastically: "Hello, I'm Song Dandan, and I'm performing with you this time."
Song Dandan's enthusiasm quickly dispelled Huang Hong's uneasiness. The two tried to rehearse a piece of dialogue, and chemistry was immediate. Throughout the rehearsal process, they cooperated tacitly and lifted weights like light.
On the night of the Spring Festival Gala, the wonderful performance of the sketch "Selling Crutches" won the applause of the audience. Huang Hong and Song Dandan cooperate seamlessly, portraying the personalities of two completely different old men vividly.
An encounter made the two "golden partners" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. In the next seven years, everywhere they went, they always made a splash. In particular, "Superborn Guerrilla", an innovative work that scares against the times, made them famous and became the well-deserved king of sketches.
However, the good times did not last long, and in 1998, the two had a disagreement, and Huang Hong once again faced the dilemma of having no partner. This time, he didn't back down. A series of works such as "I Really Didn't Drive" and "Report the Case" prove that without Song Dandan, he can also shine on the stage.
In 2010, Huang Hong once again won the first place in the Spring Festival Gala sketch with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He used his strength to once again prove that an actor can continue to go further and further on this road even if he loses his partner.
The director of Bayi caused controversy, and Huang Hong became infamous
In 2013, Huang Hong left the familiar stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became the director of Bayi Studio. This new job was extremely challenging for him, and the livelihood of the thousands of employees in the factory depended on him, and Huang Hong worked day and night to promote the development of the studio in an orderly manner.
However, in 2015, as soon as an astonishing news was issued, it immediately exploded on the Internet - someone "hammered" Huang Hong not long after taking office as the factory director, he used his power for personal gain and accepted bribes on a large scale.
Witnesses even claimed that they witnessed him being dismissed from his post in the early morning and that he could not wait to be "taken away" in the afternoon.
Bayi Studios hurriedly clarified that this was a purely normal personnel transfer, but the voices of doubts did not stop.
In this storm of public opinion, Huang Hong has not appeared in public to defend himself, and let the outside world wave his mouth at him, the "director of the small product industry".
His life was once in full swing, and at this time, everyone betrayed his relatives and left, and the credibility he had accumulated over the years collapsed in an instant.
It wasn't until five years later that the 63-year-old finally broke his silence and personally stood up to respond to the controversy. It turned out that the reason for his departure was very simple - the double load of body and energy could no longer keep up with the demanding requirements of this job.
He didn't want to drag down the studio, and he also wanted to give young talents room to play through retirement.
Huang Hong returned to the rivers and lakes and wrote the end chapter of his life
In 2021, 63-year-old Huang Hong reappeared in the public eye. Unlike the energetic man before, Huang Hong's face at this time was slightly tired, but his clear eyes revealed the same firmness as when he was young.
He simply uncovered the truth about the "taken away" turmoil. It turned out that the position of factory director was too onerous for a person of his age, so he took the initiative to retire and give way to the next generation.
"I miss writing and rehearsing Tom Sawyer's musical, and the feeling of being on stage. Now that I'm 63 years old, I can't spend the most precious time of my life in the bookkeeper, and I hope to get back to the stage I love.
The audience burst into warm applause, and under the spotlight, a trace of moving tears flashed in Huang Hong's eyes.
This year, the epidemic is still repeated, but Huang Hong has not stopped. He took the initiative to join the film crew and began to shoot the environmental protection film "Waiting for the Wetland", playing a respectable retired scientist.
"3, 2, 1, go!" The director shouted. Huang Hong in the lens has a gentle expression, which has faded away from his previous cleverness and humor, and has become a little more kind. He doesn't need complicated lines, just a smile that touches everyone's heart.
In the following days, Huang Hong appeared in many drama performances one after another. He personally choreographed and directed the stage play "Magic Hour", and starred in the main role. Huang Hong in the play will show a new side, which is the final chapter of his life that he depicts for himself.
