Preamble:
He is half the sky red because of his corner, but he has also attracted countless misunderstandings for him.
Those misunderstandings made him repeatedly hit a wall on the road of relationships, and it was not until he was 48 years old that he ushered in true love.
This actor is Li Qiang.
accidentally bumped into the industry, but became popular because of a corner
In 1984, 27-year-old Li Qiang finally ushered in the first actor of his screen career, and became a blockbuster in the movie "Girl and Boy is in the Year".
Originally, he never thought about embarking on the road of acting, but it was only because of his sister's encouragement and arrangement that he was selected for the repertory troupe and started the road of acting.
In fact, Li Qiang's growth path is not smooth.
When he was a child, he was physically weak and dreamed of serving the motherland as a soldier, but he was rejected by the military academy due to physical reasons.
After that, he tried many trades, and even tried hard to train physically, trying to sprint to the dream of becoming a soldier again.
Helplessly, fate made people, and after falling and getting up again and again, he still couldn't do it.
Until one day, Li Qiang's sister said to him: "It's better to try to be an actor, you are handsome, maybe it's very suitable." ”
So with the encouragement and support of his sister, Li Qiang entered the repertory troupe and began his acting career.
In fact, my sister herself is the one who has the dream of stardom, but because of the family environment, she can only pin her dreams on her younger brother.
At first, Li Qiang had no interest in acting, but gradually under the influence of his sister and the inspiration of the repertory troupe class, a seed of acting sprouted in his heart.
Whether he is a trickster or a handyman in front of and behind the stage, he puts 100% effort into absorbing the essence of performance.
After 4 years of performance experience, he was admitted to Beiying for further study and officially entered the road of professional actor.
When the film and television drama "Water Margin" was preparing for filming, the director was impressed by Li Qiang's performance in the repertory troupe and the movie, and personally invited him to play the role of Lin Chong.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang resolutely chose Ximenqing as the main villain.
Perhaps, this is the right time, place and people.
In 1994, the TV series "Water Margin" was a hit, and Li Qiang's wonderful performance brought the villain of "Ximen Qing" to life.
His personable appearance hides a gloomy and cunning heart, and his frivolous tone reveals deep scheming, and the strong sense of contrast has shocked countless audiences.
For a time, the role of "Ximen Qing" became synonymous with Li Qiang, and he was also well-known in the industry.
A corner leads to misunderstanding, and the emotional road has repeatedly hit a wall
The role of Ximen Qing undoubtedly won Li Qiang's popularity, but its negative impact gradually emerged.
Once upon a time, whenever he appeared in public, he would always attract onlookers and discussions.
I remember that once Li Qiang and his friends went for a walk in the park, and as soon as they found a bench to sit down, an old man pointed and whispered, "Isn't that Ximen Qing?"
After a while, an elderly man came over menacingly, pointing at Li Qiang's nose and scolding him.
It turned out that the uncle was a die-hard book fan of "Water Margin", and he regarded Li Qiangzhen as Ximenqing, and there was a "book fan overturning the idol war scene" at the scene.
Li Qiang and his friends couldn't cry or laugh, and it took a lot of effort to explain clearly.
These misunderstandings also cast a shadow over Li Qiang's love life.
Countless times, Li Qiang met a beautiful and touching girl, and when he mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation, the other party's reaction was to avoid it.
Those girls who were afraid of "Ximen Qing" wanted to stay away when they saw him.
Li Qiang is not distressed, his shy and introverted personality is completely different from his suave image on the screen.
However, the label brought to him by "Ximenqing" was too deep, and his love road repeatedly hit a wall.
The villain's professional household play road is stereotyped
After becoming unexpectedly popular, Li Qiang began to frequently play villain roles, hoping to get more performance opportunities by enriching his acting career.
In the first few years, he was still lucky, hoping to enrich himself by playing more complicated villain images, so as to get more performance materials.
However, after a few years, he only felt that this turn of events had made him completely stereotyped as a villain.
In those years, his film appointments were all invitations to villains.
The various villains in the script are too similar, and over time, the audience and the industry have defaulted to him as a "villain professional".
In fact, Li Qiang is not willing to play only a villain in his heart.
Countless late nights, he lay alone in bed tossing and turning.
He is eager to jump out of this trap, eager to break free from this shackle and try more diverse roles.
However, reality is reality after all, and he is powerless in the face of the laws of the market.
In those stereotyped years, Li Qiang must have been extremely hesitant and painful in his heart.
At the age of 48, he met true love, and his emotional road finally bloomed in spring
It wasn't until he was 48 years old that Li Qiang's emotional road ushered in a warm spring.
That year, he was invited to a class reunion.
The old classmates who hadn't been together for a long time talked excitedly, and Li Qiang was silently holding a wine glass in the corner alone.
He has never been good at socializing with people, let alone opening up a conversation in front of girls.
Just as he sighed and was about to leave, a refreshing and lively girl took the initiative to talk to her, she was Li Shu.
The two hit it off at first sight, chatting from the evening to the early hours of the morning.
The topic ranged from the bits and pieces of the student days, to the difficulties in each other's work, and even life and ideals.
Li Qiang, who has an introverted personality, rarely gets so close to people when they first meet.
However, the moment he chatted with Li Shu, he was shocked to find that the two were very close to each other, and he seemed to have found a soulmate.
What's even more commendable is that Li Shu not only doesn't mind his label of "Ximen Qing", but also appreciates his acting skills very much.
This encounter opened the door for the two to continue to connect.
As they got to know each other better on several dates, the couple's friendship warmed up, and their relationship was finally confirmed.
Due to their separation, they can only choose a long-distance relationship.
Li Qiang is not good at expression, and in his 10-year long-distance relationship, he has taken the initiative to retain each other only a handful of times.
Fortunately, Li Shu felt his introverted personality and never minded this.
In this way, he went through the test of 10 years steadily, and it was not until Li Shu took the initiative to propose marriage that Li Qiang mustered up the courage to marry the angel in white.
After marriage, life was harmonious and smooth, and 4 years later, 52-year-old Li Qiang became a father and ushered in the joy of having a son in old age.
Epilogue:
Li Qiang, who has entered middle age, is still active in the film and television industry.
Among his many wonderful performances, "The Hunting Ground", "Black and White Forest", "Celebrating More Than Years" and other works are the most popular.
He is no longer confined to the role of a villain, but tries to enrich the characters in different genres.
Although he couldn't break free from the label of "Ximen Qing" and affected the audience's first impression of him, Li Qiang has tried his best to jump out of the shackles of the villain and march towards a broader road of performance.
As he said in an interview: "What I actually yearn for the most is a broad and changeable role like Xu Zheng and Deng Chao."
I hope that in the future, Li Qiang will have more opportunities to show his skills and show his diverse and rich acting skills.
After all, with his remarkable acting skills, why can he only play a corner of the villain?
