As one of the three major film bases in China, Shanghai Film Studio has not only created many excellent films, but also delivered many "top students" in the entertainment industry.
Among the roles he plays, "Wen" can play the role of "scholar" Fang Dasheng, and "Wu" can play the role of "gangster boss" Zhu Shiyao, even though the play looks violent and hateful, it still makes countless girls fall for it.
is such a person who can write and martial arts in the play, and attracts thousands of girls to write letters and courtship, but his love life is not satisfactory.
The first wife left his sick son away from him, and Wang Shihuai spent 12 years to make up for his son's lack of father's love, until he met his first love Wang Yun, and the two continued their middle school relationship, and their lives improved.
With the concerted efforts of the two people, his son's condition gradually improved. 12 years of perseverance, in exchange for today's bright flowers.
What is the strength that can make Wang Shihuai go on unswervingly, which is inseparable from his experience of taking root at the bottom since he was a child.
Admitted to the art troupe, realize your dream of playing
Wang Shihuai has been very fond of literary and artistic performances since she was a child, listening to her parents and reading while doing what she likes.
When I was in elementary school, Wang Shihuai didn't want any position in the class, I just wanted to be a literary backbone, and I was very happy when I was selected.
With his outstanding literary and artistic talents, when others were still worried about going to school, Wang Shihuai had already been selected into the local song and dance troupe.
But because of his parents, Wang Shihuai didn't stay in the song and dance troupe for a few days at all, and continued to pick up books.
It was also the hard study in those years that not only made Wang Shihuai more knowledgeable, but also laid a knowledge foundation for his later entrance examination.
After graduating from middle school, Wang Shihuai was affected by the environment at the time and could not study, so he made the most correct decision in his life and was admitted to the art troupe.
That was an important turning point in Wang Shihuai's life, and the life experience of the art troupe was very colorful, not only in dramas, but also in song and dance dramas.
Wang Shihuai's long-accumulated literary and artistic talent was finally displayed, he was like a spinning top, he was everywhere, and he refused to let go of the opportunity to perform in the countryside.
The time in the cultural troupe was the happiest time for Wang Shihuai, which is still unforgettable for him, and the performance experience he has accumulated has become his precious wealth.
However, with the enhancement of performance ability, the stage of the cultural and sports troupe is no longer enough for Wang Shihuai to develop his talents, and he began to set his sights on a bigger stage - the performance department of Shanghai Theater Academy.
In 1977, 20-year-old Wang Shihuai was ambitious and participated in the art examination that year, he stood out from many candidates, and with his performance experience in the cultural and sports troupe and the cultural knowledge left by middle school study, he was admitted to the opera in one fell swoop and became a freshman in the performance department.
During the college period, Wang Shihuai also gained his own love, he and Zhang Xiaoming fell in love with each other, spent two years of college together, and then graduated together.
Graduation came as scheduled, but Wang Shihuai and Zhang Xiaoming were not assigned together and were forced to start a long-distance relationship. Wang Shihuai squeezed time to contact Zhang Xiaoming, while working hard to film, and his career slowly improved.
Harvest a career and start a family
In 1981, after graduating from university, Wang Shihuai was assigned to the Hefei Repertory Theatre in his hometown as an actor. Really embarked on the path of an actor.
Less than two years after joining the repertory troupe, Wang Shihuai filmed his first TV series "Hua Luogeng", which made Wang Shihuai gain a lot of popularity and attention, and even Hua Luogeng himself said "Acting is great!".
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shihuai filmed the film "Wandering Adventure", which was the first time Wang Shihuai played the leading role in the film.
The experience of the cultural troupe gave him a deeper insight into the characters at the bottom, and the systematic study of the play made him understand that reading the script thoroughly is the key to acting well.
Therefore, Wang Shihuai carefully studied the original work of "Wandering Adventure", carefully figured out the spiritual core of the characters, and played a wanderer who was tormented by the fate of life vividly.
As soon as the film was broadcast, it was deeply loved by the audience, and the drifter played by Wang Shihuai not only received unanimous praise from experts, but even became a teaching material for some colleges for a time.
In 1984, Wang Shihuai was transferred to Shanghai Film Studio as an actor, and he and his college lover Zhang Xiaoming also ended their hard life in different places and entered the palace of marriage together.
But who would have thought that they had finally survived the long place, but they failed to make it to the end.
Divorced his ex-wife and took care of his sick son alone
In the roles he created, there were the weak scholar Fang Dasheng in "Sunrise", and the affectionate and gentle Qiong Yao male protagonist in "On the Water Side" and "Several Degrees of Sunset Red".
Wang Shihuai became the first generation of "Qiong Nanlang" in the mainland and was known as the "Qin and Han Dynasty of the mainland". At that time, Wang Shihuai not only enjoyed a reputation outside, but his wife Zhang Xiaoming also added a big fat son to her, which can be described as a joy and joy.
But what Wang Shihuai didn't know, tragedy also followed.
The couple did not realize the responsibilities of their parents, and were often busy with work, and neglected to take care of their children, but they did not expect to make a big mistake.
In 1985, Wang Shihuai had a rare two-day family leave, and when he hurried home to reunite, he found that his son had a cold.
The child kept having a fever, but Wang Shihuai didn't know what to do, and still relied on the doctor upstairs to treat him, which saved the child's life.
I thought that I had survived, but who would have thought that the child was not a simple cold, only to learn that the child had pneumonia and had missed the best time for treatment, the brain was seriously damaged, and the intelligence was also affected.
A healthy little boy became a "mentally retarded child" in this way, Wang Shihuai and Zhang Xiaoming couldn't accept this result for a while, and contradictions began to arise.
The family changed suddenly, Wang Shihuai began to "vent" his emotions in filming, he changed his previous image of a "good guy" and played a complete "bad guy".
He began to seek breakthroughs in acting, playing a variety of different roles, Zhu Shiyao in "On the Water Side", Cao Dongming in "Two O'clock in the Midnight" and Qian Genfa in "The Fraudster".
In order to treat the child, Wang Shihuai worked harder to film, relying on years of precipitated acting skills, the money for treatment was earned little by little, but it was all in vain.
After all, at that time, medical technology was not advanced, and money was not always everything.
Although Zhang Xiaoming and Wang Shihuai persevered for ten years, the child's condition did not improve at all, but developed epilepsy due to poor care.
The pressure of life made Wang Shihuai and his wife breathless, and the two of them were still separated, and Wang Shihuai felt that he had failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities when he left his son, so he chose to take his son with him to make up for his mistakes.
Wang Shihuai, who became a single father, continued to film to make money, and his son was left to his parents to take care of.
Wang Shihuai, who no longer knows how many famous doctors he visited, finally let him meet a good doctor, which brought a little improvement to the child's condition.
Wang Shihuai listened to the doctor's words and did not rely on drugs, but chose adjuvant treatment - to be healthy. Slowly, my son's condition stabilized. It was also at this time that Wang Shihuai met her first love again after returning from studying in Japan.
met his first love Wang Yun, and finally the rain passed and the sky was clear
When they first met, they were only middle school students, and the budding love ended because of parental interference before it began.
When they said goodbye, 40-year-old Wang Shihuai took her sick son, and Wang Yun was still single, Wang Shihuai didn't know whether to lament that she was lucky or unlucky.
He felt that his current situation was difficult to give Wang Yun happiness, but Wang Yun felt that this was the opportunity given to them by God so that they would not miss each other again.
Wang Yun watched Wang Shihuai work hard with the child alone, and said that he was willing to share the responsibility, and the child also needed the care of the mother. After years of hard work, Wang Shihuai gradually understood that the family really needed a hostess, and the two soon got married.
After getting married, Wang Yun took good care of the child, and by 2006, the child's condition was basically under control, as long as it did not get sick, it was no different from ordinary people.
All the efforts are worth it, Wang Yun not only took good care of the child, but also added a lovely daughter to Wang Shihuai after marriage, Wang Shihuai finally ushered in the rain and sunny weather.
In October 2023, at the 70th anniversary of the Shanghai Film Theater Troupe, many old artists gathered, and many people saw their idols when they were young.
Among them is 66-year-old Wang Shihuai, although her hair is gradually graying, she still looks very energetic, and it can be seen that she is living a very happy life. He never talks about his sufferings to the public, but just treats acting with his heart, and is an artist worthy of respect.
In November 2023, Wang Shihuai told about the past of filming in an interview program. As an artist with both virtue and art, Wang Shihuai rarely appears in front of the public except for the role broadcast.
And Wang Shihuai has always been grateful to the teachers and directors who helped him along the way. It is an honor for the entertainment industry to have such an excellent and low-key old actor.
epilogue
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, if there is no Wang Shihuai's persistence, maybe his son's situation will only get worse and worse, and Wang Shihuai will not meet his current true love on the way to seek medical treatment, and hope that they will be happier and happier.
