In the scorching afternoon, the lazy sun gently sprinkles on the quiet luxury villa park in a corner of Beijing. In the delicate garden in the courtyard, a tall figure is concentrating on irrigating all kinds of flowers and plants, and its face is full of joy and satisfaction. This person is Wang Kai, a young artist who was once popular on the TV screen.
After retreating from the showbiz full of hustle and bustle, Wang Kai is now living a quiet, peaceful and carefree life.
Occasionally, in his leisure time, he would sit quietly by the window, admiring the beautiful scene in the courtyard bathed in sunlight through the dappled shadows of the trees, reminiscing about the years that had been remembered in the past. Since his father's tragic death of lung cancer, he himself has been found to have a shadow in his lungs, which has forced him to re-examine the true meaning and value of life.
Once, he put in endless efforts and sweat to make a name for himself in this circle, but after many twists and turns, he gradually realized that inner peace is far more important than short-term fame and fortune.
Whenever he gets together with a few close friends, Wang Kai always expresses with emotion that his current life is quite satisfying. Instead of having to travel around and hustle and bustle on the set, he can immerse himself in reading, playing chess and planting flowers every day, which is the ideal lifestyle he dreamed of.
The doctor told him to pay attention to his physical recuperation, and he always maintained a high level of vigilance and strictly followed the doctor's instructions.
However, on the road of pursuing inner peace, Wang Kai was once the first-line star who dominated the entertainment industry. In 2015, he successfully became a hot new generation of actors in the entertainment industry with two high-profile TV series works, the costume drama "Langya Bang" and the spy war drama "The Pretender".
In the drama "Langya Bang", he played the role of the upright and resolute King Jing "Xiao Jingyan", and cooperated with Hu Ge and Jin Dong, two powerful actors, known as the "Iron Triangle" combination, their superb acting skills and wonderful opponents have made countless audiences fall in love with them. It is especially worth mentioning that his role in the scene of making trouble in the government in the play was completely improvised, without any guidance from the director, but he won high praise from director Kong Sheng.
Immediately after, The Pretender once again pushed his popularity to new heights. Although he did not play the leading role in the play, his performance did not lose to Mingtai and Minglou, and even surpassed them at some moments. For this handsome, chic, witty and resolute young actor, the majority of fans can't resist the unique charm he exudes.
In the years that followed, Wang Kai became a popular figure for major TV stations and film and television production companies. Whether it is a costume drama or a modern drama, he can play various roles with ease, which makes people dizzy and amazed.
Among them, the breathtaking masterpiece is none other than the spy war era drama "Dajiang Dahe" directed by the famous director Kong Sheng! Wang Kai's brilliant interpretation of the role of "Song Yunhui" has been widely praised and can be called a model in the industry. In order to create the image of this rural youth who is still tenacious in an extremely difficult environment, Wang Kai even reduced his weight to an astonishing 62 kilograms with extreme self-discipline to lose weight, which is remarkable!
However, before this glorious moment arrived, Wang Kai had experienced a long and difficult trough period, and once almost wanted to give up his dream of pursuing his love of being an actor.
After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, Wang Kai immediately signed a contract with Huayi Film and Television Company, but there, he had no drama to act for a long time and was often left out in the cold. During that time, his financial situation was extremely difficult, and he could only barely survive. Every month, he has to repay the mortgage on the house he bought in Beijing, but his income from his work is pitiful. Sometimes in order to participate in some social activities, he even needs to pay high red carpet fees out of his own pocket, and the weight of life makes Wang Kai have the idea of giving up his dream of being an actor.
In this lonely and extremely embarrassing situation, he was fortunate to meet his best friend and agent Hu Miao. Hu Miao generously recommended him the production team of a TV series, and although the character was a sissy, Wang Kai resolutely accepted the challenge in order to earn an income.
Who would have expected that as soon as this TV series called "Ugly Girl Invincible" was broadcast, the image of the sissy "Chen Jiaming" played by Wang Kai would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and loved by the audience. Although he was approached by many similar sissy characters later, Wang Kai resolutely refused, and he was determined to get rid of this inherent label and show his unique acting skills.
Just when Wang Kai felt extremely confused about the future, the opportunity finally came to him. Hou Hongliang, chairman of Noon Sunshine Film and Television Company, saw Wang Kai's unlimited potential and invited him to join his crew.
In the much-watched spy war drama "No War in the North", although Wang Kai only played the supporting role of "Fang Mengwei", his superb acting skills have fascinated countless audiences. Originally, the audience came for the powerful actors Liu Ye and Liao Fan, but they were unexpectedly deeply attracted by this unfamiliar actor. His performance in the scene of the "five-person group", although it was only Wang Kai's improvisation, won unanimous praise from the director team.
After that, Hou Hongliang worked closely with the famous director Kong Sheng, and successfully incorporated Wang Kai into the "noble son" team they created. As a result, starting from the TV series "Langya Bang", after several years, to later masterpieces such as "Dajiang Dahe", Wang Kai has never been absent in each of Kong Sheng's new works, playing an indispensable role. With the continuous support of director Kong Sheng, Wang Kai finally shined brightly in the entertainment industry and successfully walked out of the past trough period.
During this period of time, his superb acting skills are like spring shoots breaking through the ground, growing day by day. Whether it is from a sissy to an ancient military officer, or from a modern migrant worker, Wang Kai is able to interpret each character vividly, dazzling and praising the audience. No matter how big or small the role is, he is fully committed and unrelenting. It wasn't long before he became a long-awaited fixture on the TV screen.
Before embarking on this legendary life path, Wang Kai had been living an ordinary life. He was born into an ordinary working-class family in Wuhan and never set foot in the field of art.
In his childhood, Wang Kai was a lively and playful child, who could do everything by climbing trees and playing hide and seek in the yard, but he didn't know anything about academics. His father taught him earnestly, hoping that his son would study diligently and have a decent career in the future.
At the age of 17, his father got Wang Kai a job as a librarian at Xinhua Bookstore, hoping to change his idle life.
At first, Wang Kai was satisfied with this, because the job brought a stable income and life, and at the same time, it also reduced the pressure on his father. However, as time passed, the monotony of librarianship made him gradually bored and bored.
By chance, an advertising director discovered Wang Kai's tall and handsome appearance and invited him to Beijing to participate in the filming of a commercial.
During the short filming process, Wang Kai showed amazing talent, which shocked the director. The staff on the set mistakenly thought that he was from a professional class, and when they learned that Wang Kai had not received a formal university education, everyone was dumbfounded, and then realized that he was an unpolished piece of jade.
The director finally said to Wang Kai earnestly: "You have such an excellent acting talent, why don't you consider applying for a professional acting school?" These words are like a guiding light, pointing Wang Kai in the direction of moving forward.
From that moment on, he firmly vowed to devote himself to the sacred profession of being an actor and pursue his dreams.
At this moment, Mr. Wang Kai, who has been tempered by the world, has a unique and deep and introverted understanding of the philosophy of life. He no longer pursued the fleeting fame and fortune that he had done in his early years, but instead focused on the peace and ease of his heart.
Looking back on his long and fulfilling career, Mr. Wang Kai has witnessed countless actors who have lost their way due to momentary fame and blindly pursued those illusory and ethereal things. However, he has always maintained that high level of focus and dedication, and no matter what role he plays, he will give it his all and never relax.
This focus has enabled him to reach a higher level in the field of acting. From the sissy to the rustic rural youth to the mighty officers and generals, every role is lifelike under his interpretation, making the audience feel as if they are in it.
Some people commented that Mr. Wang Kai is like a chameleon, perfectly hiding his true self, and presents a new and stunning image every time he appears.
Nowadays, he is no longer keen on the pursuit of fame and fortune, but devotes more time and energy to the essence of life. After leaving the entertainment industry, his life became simpler and simpler, immersed in the fun of reading, playing chess, and planting flowers every day, and enjoyed this tranquility to the fullest.
Occasionally, when he gets together with a few close friends, he feels that his current life makes him feel extremely satisfied.
However, when encountering a good script, Mr. Wang Kai will still gladly accept it. It's just that he is no longer as busy as before, but at his own pace, he devotes himself to every performance.
This kind of openness and freedom is precisely the secret of the long-term career of an actor.
