Everyone knows that inside and outside the play is definitely not the same thing, but Cao Zheng, who played the villain "Liu Ming" in "Fearless", has to apologize to the audience after the show is broadcast on November 3, 2023.
It's not that Cao Zheng wants to rely on this move to gain traffic, but that he is really scolded by the audience.
From Qian Yulang, the "traitor lackey" in "Red Sorghum", to Wan Chuanjia, who bullies men and women in "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", ...... , the villains played by Cao Zheng are more "impressive" to the audience than one another.
Although everyone knows that Cao Zheng is just acting, there are always a few netizens who rely on the stereotypes of these villains to launch personal attacks on Cao Zheng as an actor, which once made him miserable.
In the end, there was really no way, so Cao Zheng could only apologize in advance in reality, so that the audience could take action later.
Although even so, there are still audiences who scold Cao Zheng, but those who really know Cao Zheng know that the real Cao Zheng is completely different from the play.
He is neither a scum nor a scum, on the contrary, he also has an upright soul and a loyal heart.
is a reliable actor, but he meets an unreliable crew
It's also a little interesting to say, Cao Zheng didn't want to be an actor at all at the beginning, he was originally an ordinary high school student preparing for the exam, and he wanted to change his fate through the college entrance examination.
But an unexpected experience in the second year of high school gave Cao Zheng a different idea.
In the nineties of the twentieth century, a crew unexpectedly came to Cao Zheng's hometown of Jiaozuo, Henan Province to recruit actors, which was still fresh at that time, so Cao Zheng, who was a little curious, took his friends to join in the fun.
But who knew that he was selected as an actor by the crew because of his excellent appearance, and even shaved Cao Zheng's hair.
If you shave, you will shave, when Cao Zheng was supposed to act, they forgot about Cao Zheng, and they didn't call him until the end of filming.
After all, Cao Zheng is only playing a small role, and it can even be so small that it can be replaced halfway.
But Cao Zheng felt aggrieved, he sat next to him for a whole day in order to play this scene, and was forced to shave his hair, but he was told that he was not allowed to act.
In a fit of anger, Cao Zheng began to prepare for the performance department, vowing to use the most superb acting skills to make this crew who forgot him firmly remember.
In 2002, Cao Zheng was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with the best results, and even was in the same class as the most well-known Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen.
However, when he was just a freshman, Cao Zheng was not having a good time, even though he was already working hard to learn acting, but he was far inferior to Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen, who began to practice acting skills since childhood, and even the penultimate in the class was a common thing.
But Cao Zheng was unwilling, so he secretly practiced for himself every night, even if he was exhausted and sick, he refused to stop his efforts.
So much so that when he practiced until his senior year, he really got the results of his practice, all the way from the end of the crane in the class, to one of the most acting students in the major.
Even if Cao Zheng was still in school, there were as many as seven crews who sent the male number one fragrant bun in front of him, which almost made him walk with the wind at that time.
However, just when he thought that his future was bright, the world played a big joke on him - all the seven dramas he took over were all yellow without exception.
"Why is it yellow?"
Cao Zheng was confused and at a loss during that time, if it weren't for the teacher Wang Jinsong who called in time to comfort him, Cao Zheng was almost to the point of "not thinking about it".
However, although he was pulled back, it was difficult for Cao Zheng, who had been hit, to return to that high-spirited state.
He just continued to perform so mechanically that it wasn't until years later that his life took the most love-hate turn.
was taken on a detour, and from then on all the way to the black
Ask yourself, Cao Zheng himself actually doesn't want to play a villain, and even prefers to be a supporting role than a villain, even if the role is a little less, but at least he will not be scolded by the audience.
But there are some things that are by no means decided by Cao Zheng's personal opinion.
When he was young, Cao Zheng was a very handsome guy, with angular facial features, a height of more than one meter and eight meters, and a body full of youthful muscles.
Cao Zheng can charm countless beautiful girls just by walking on the side of the road.
Coupled with his own acting skills, which makes Cao Zheng confident that he will become the brightest star in the future.
But when he was excited to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, a director who seemed to be "good-looking" took Cao Zheng to a detour.
In 2014, Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "Red Sorghum", politely approached Cao Zheng and kindly arranged three role auditions for him.
One is the bandit leader "Yu Zhanjiao", the other is the Sven gentleman "Zhang Junjie", and the other is the human-faced beast heart "Qian Yulang".
These three are put together, Cao Zheng didn't think about playing "Zhang Junjie", for fear that Zheng Xiaolong would not be satisfied, Cao Zheng also played two versions of Zhang Junjie during the audition, and played each Zhang Junjie as perfectly as possible.
He had a very good idea, and the director Zheng Xiaolong was also very satisfied with it, and he also smiled meaningfully at Cao Zheng at that time.
Cao Zheng thought he was stable, but he didn't expect that Zheng Xiaolong had a different mind about him.
When Cao Zheng happily came to the crew, Zheng Xiaolong backhanded the most unpopular "Qian Yulang" to Cao Zheng.
even persuaded Cao Zheng, whose face was becoming more and more ugly, with a serious voice: "There must be a process for the success of an actor, you can't decide the role you want to play at the beginning, but you can use this 'role' as a pedal, and you can have the right to play the role you want in the future." ”
The honest Cao Zheng ate this bowl of chicken soup, and he also played the role of "Qian Yulang" very badly.
But after "Red Sorghum" was actually broadcast, Cao Zheng became a little crying and laughing because of this.
He acted too well and very well, and showed the image of a "traitor lackey" to the fullest, but it was precisely because of this that the audience of "Red Sorghum" scolded him bloody, and even felt that he was such a villain in reality.
If the audience is like this, it would be fine, director Zheng Xiaolong still seemed to be watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, and after Cao Zheng was blackened and red because of "Qian Yulang", he intimately arranged for him to "King Chu Huai" in "The Legend of Miyue", and "Liu Ming" in "Fearless" who made the audience grit their teeth with hatred.
Although Cao Zheng's career is indeed getting better and better because of these negative roles, as an actor, he wants to shout in the audience's ears that he is by no means like this in reality.
The "villain" in the play, the gentleman outside the play
Although most of the characters played by Cao Zheng are "scum", in reality, he is completely different from the image in the play.
Outside the play, he is an upright and enthusiastic gentle senior, and he also behaves quite a gentleman.
When performing intimate scenes with an actress, in order to protect the actress's innocence, he always avoids skin-to-skin contact as much as possible, and only follows the audience's optical illusion to show intimacy.
In the face of a group of friends, Cao Zheng is like a good big brother, always helping his friends solve the troubles they can solve without asking for anything in return, and does not want them to suffer a little.
In the face of his wife Song Chacha, Cao Zheng also achieved loyalty, even if he has been in love with his wife for 17 years and married for 13 years, even if his wife's appearance is no longer there, Cao Zheng still has the same love for his wife.
He doesn't want to be contaminated with any scandals, he is always 100% tolerant of his wife and family, and uses his sincerity in exchange for a happy life for his family.
Epilogue:
Acting is just acting, but don't force the setting in the play to Cao Zheng, a real person.
Even we audiences can distinguish the boundary between reality and film and television works.
