Time flies, time flies. At a certain moment a few years later, when the public asked the most admired idol in the heart of Li Xuejian, the actor with superb acting skills and high-profile skills, he did not hesitate to confess: "It is my respected teacher An Zhenjiang!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene instantly froze, and everyone looked at each other, both surprised and full of confusion for this answer.
As a master of acting in the Chinese film industry, Li Xuejian openly expressed his admiration for a little-known "supporting role" and "villain" actor, which undoubtedly caused a sensation.
The media reporters present exchanged words one after another, and many of them expressed incomprehension.
Sensing everyone's doubts, Li Xuejian patiently explained: "It is precisely because of the positive and negative characters created by Mr. An Zhenjiang that I was deeply moved by him, and I have great respect for him and regard him as a spiritual model."
His words were sonorous and powerful, "both in the field of performing arts and in the cultivation of personal character, the teacher has shown outstanding talent."
Li Xuejian's eyes are resolute and deep, and his tone is sincere and earnest, "Although he plays a supporting role or villain most of the time, he can play every role vividly and vividly."
I sincerely admire him and follow his example".
Back to the early morning of September 12, 1977, there was a hustle and bustle in the Beijing Film Studio, and many staff members were in full swing preparing for the shooting of a new movie called "Julan".
One of the leading actors in this film was Mr. An Zhenjiang, who was only 49 years old at the time, and he was at the peak of his career at that time, and his future was bright.
However, at around 14 o'clock in the morning of the same day, a sudden and severe angina pectoris completely crushed him. An Zhenjiang's face was pale, and his whole body trembled, as if he was in great pain.
Under the panicked gaze of the surrounding staff, he seemed to be about to fall to the ground, and everyone rushed him to the hospital for rescue.
After a detailed examination by doctors, An Zhenjiang unfortunately suffered from two serious diseases: heart disease and cerebral thrombosis. Despite the best efforts of the doctors, his condition was too critical for him to overcome the disease and he died at the age of 49 in the same year.
As soon as this bad news was announced, it immediately shook the entire film and television industry. An Zhenjiang's family and friends were all grief-stricken, and with the help of relatives and friends, they held a low-key and mournful funeral for him.
Since that day, his beloved wife and beloved daughter have lived a quiet and low-key life, rarely appearing in public.
On that day, many friends and loyal fans who had known him spontaneously came to hold a touching and tearful farewell ceremony for him.
Some of the people present prayed silently and looked solemn, while others were so grief-stricken that they could not stop their tears and mourn the loss of this great performer.
Time flies, and forty-four springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed in a blink of an eye, but this performance master, who was once known as the "golden supporting role" and has amazing acting skills, is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless people and is respected and admired by people.
In the film and television industry, he is undoubtedly the undisputed acting icon and role model.
However, before this sudden tragedy, An Zhenjiang was also an ordinary teenager. He was born in 1928 in Changping, Beijing, to a poor family, his father An Dianheng worked hard at the time-honored Qingrentang Pharmacy, and his mother was a hardworking and simple housewife.
Despite the family's financial constraints, his parents still have high expectations for An Zhenjiang and do their best to provide him with education and hope that he can have a bright future.
At the age of six, An Zhenjiang left his familiar hometown and countryside and embarked on the road to study in the capital. There, he entered a dilapidated private school and began his school career.
At that time, he was short in stature, but his eyes were full of thirst for knowledge, the first days were not easy, An Zhenjiang often shivered in the cold wind of the early morning and walked to school, and lunch was limited to simple dry buns, however, he never complained, and always looked at the big brothers and sisters who were in school with longing.
Since then, An Zhenjiang has studied in well-known institutions such as Beiping Dexin Primary School, Beiping No. 9 Middle School, Huiwen Middle School, and the state-run private High School Affiliated to Fu Jen University.
Despite the difficulties and challenges he encountered in the process of studying, he always maintained the qualities of humility, perseverance, and hard work.
It was in middle school that An Zhenjiang participated in a campus drama performance "The Artist" and experienced the unique charm of stage art for the first time.
When he made his debut on stage, he was both excited and nervous, lest he make a mistake and affect the audience, but in the end, he won a round of applause and applause from the audience with his outstanding performance.
Since then, young people like An Zhenjiang have been deeply immersed in the unique charm of drama performances, and they have been actively involved in the rehearsals and interpretations of various stage plays before they advance to high school.
It was during that period that the seeds of their ideals for becoming excellent actors began to take root.
Time is like an arrow, and time is like a shuttle. On the occasion of graduation, An Zhenjiang was assigned to Beijing Film Studio, one of the palaces of China's film industry, by virtue of his excellent grades and outstanding performance during his schooling, thus officially embarking on a brilliant and brilliant journey of performing arts.
As soon as he set foot in Beijing Film Studio, An Zhenjiang quickly made a name for himself in the film industry with his extraordinary acting talent and unremitting efforts. In 1954, he was honored to be invited to participate in the film "Shajiabang Grain Store" directed by the well-known director Wu Zhaodi.
The moment he stood in front of the camera for the first time, An Zhenjiang was so nervous that his palms broke out in a cold sweat, lest he affect the whole team due to a small mistake. However, with a strong focus and a thorough understanding of the character, he managed to interpret the role perfectly, earning himself a solid foothold in the film industry, as if opening a subtle door to the future.
In the following year, An Zhenjiang was highly recognized by Changchun Film Studio for his outstanding performance, and in 1956, he was transferred to the studio's actor troupe.
There, he participated in and starred in a series of excellent works with far-reaching influence, such as "Guerrillas of the Plains", "Tiger's Den Tracking", "Underground Soldiers" and many more.
It is especially worth mentioning that in the film "Guerrillas of the Plains", An Zhenjiang successfully created the image of a large landowner Yang Laozong. This figure, who was supposed to live a comfortable and prosperous life, was in trouble due to the arrival of the revolutionary guerrillas, and his vivid and realistic performance showed the deep hatred between the peasants and the landlords, which moved the audience and left an unforgettable memory.
Whenever Yang Laozong cried and was angry in front of the camera, An Zhenjiang's acting skills were like a sharp dagger, piercing deep into the hearts of the audience.
In 1957, An Zhenjiang returned to the Beijing Film Studio Actors Troupe. Despite leaving Changchun Film Studio, his superb acting skills have long been famous.
Since then, he has successively made wonderful appearances in classic films such as "Red Child", "Storm", and "Red Flag Canal".
In the classic national epic masterpiece "Red Flag Canal", the protagonist Mr. An Zhenjiang perfectly created the image of a landlord named Liu Ermao's "entourage", which made the audience deeply indignant and shameless about his arrogant and flattering behavior.
When the film was released, it aroused widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life, and even once, when Mr. An Zhenjiang was walking on the street, he was besieged by angry people, accused of being a "bully" and "gangster", and had to rely on the assistance of the police to get out of trouble.
With many outstanding performance achievements, Mr. An Zhenjiang has won the reputation of "Golden Supporting Actor". Whether it is a decent character or a villain, he is always able to grasp every detail delicately, dig deep into the deep emotions of the characters, and successfully break people's stereotypes of "villain professionals".
However, the good times did not last long, and with the advent of the special historical period, Mr. An Zhenjiang's acting career suffered a heavy blow, because he often played the role of landlords, bullies and other villains in his past works, so he was severely criticized and suppressed by politics.
He was forced to leave the city and go to the countryside for "labor reform". During those long and arduous years, Mr. An Zhenjiang worked hard in the farmland every day.
At first, it was difficult for him to adapt to this way of life, whenever in the dead of night, he would always be unable to hold back tears wet his clothes, he was a high-profile film and television star, enjoying the spotlight and magnesium lights, but now he has to live a completely different life in the scorching fields of the hot summer, he often sweats, and returns to the simple cave at night, so exhausted that he can't even lift his fingers.
Despite this, his desire and pursuit of a better life has not been extinguished by this. He silently looks forward to the day when he will be able to return to the stage and film and television crew, and use his superb acting skills to bring more wonderful performances to the audience.
In that turbulent era, Mr. An Zhenjiang always faced the injustice of fate with perseverance and courage.
In this way, in the midst of pain and suffering, dozens of silent days and nights passed quietly. Finally in the 70s of the 20th century, when the literary and artistic career gradually recovered, Mr. An Zhenjiang's acting career also ushered in a new dawn.
In 1974, after going through hardships, he participated in the armed police action movie "Scout" produced by Beijing Film Studio, officially announcing his return to the film industry.
In this film, Mr. An Zhenjiang played the role of the murderous and evil enemy search captain "Wang Debiao". With his superb acting skills, he portrayed this villain character vividly and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and won warm praise from the audience.
Whenever "Wang Debiao" shows a terrifying look in front of the camera, people seem to feel a cold chill sweeping over the whole body in an instant.
Since then, Mr. An Zhenjiang's acting career has returned to the right track, and he has participated in many excellent works one after another, such as "Beacon Boy", "Boiling Mountains" and so on, fully demonstrating his outstanding talent in interpreting villain roles.
However, this strong sense of "villain" existence has also brought him some misunderstandings and unfair treatment. On one occasion, some people who did not know the truth went to Mr. An Zhenjiang's residence and smashed his window with a stone to vent their inner dissatisfaction.
Faced with such a situation, others may feel angry or aggrieved, but Mr. Ahn Zhenjiang is not angry, on the contrary, he is very relieved, because it just proves that his excellent interpretation of the role and the image he has created has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
