In the classic film and television drama "In the Name of the People", there is such an ironic and funny plot, Chen Qingquan and a foreign girl were arrested in bed, in the face of such an embarrassing scene, Chen Qingquan "had an idea":
"I'm here to learn English, you can't just arrest people!"
After this episode was broadcast, the plot of Chen Qingquan's "learning foreign languages" instantly exploded on the Internet and was hotly discussed.
According to the filmmaker, the stalk of "learning foreign languages" was actually come up with by actor Hou Tianlai, who played Chen Qingquan, because Hou Tianlai's father was an English teacher.
However, although this plot has given "In the Name of the People" a lot of praise, it is not a good thing for actor Hou Tianlai.
As an old artist with both virtue and art, Hou Tianlai has brought us many very classic screen images, but I didn't expect people to play such an unobtrusive role in old age, which caused his wife at home to complain directly:
"It's a shame to die, this kind of role is also accepted!"
Hou Tianlai heard it and called it "wronged", even if others don't understand him, don't his wife understand him either?
Looking back at Hou Tianlai's artistic experience, it is not once or twice that he has played such an obscene role, his acting skills are too good to be discussed by the audience, who is to blame?
The villain "Tian Yaozu" in "Walking to the West Exit", the perverted "Wang Xiansheng" in "Women Are No Longer Silent", the "Thin Smoker" in "One and Eight" and so on.
With his superb acting skills, Hou Tianlai has brought many three-dimensional villains to the audience, but only a few people know that in real life he is actually a good man with good character and positive outlook.
Because his parents are both teachers, Hou Tianlai has received a good education since he was a child. He has been versatile since he was a child, not only with excellent academic performance, but also proficient in a variety of traditional musical instruments such as erhu and flute.
With such an excellent son, his parents no longer demand him and let him pursue his dreams by himself. As a result, it coincided with a turbulent period, and Hou Tianlai repaired his bicycle in the bicycle factory for three years before returning to the college entrance examination.
However, the ups and downs of life are far more than that, although Hou Tianlai was admitted to his ideal college with excellent results, he was advised by the teacher to change his career because of his poor appearance.
But Hou Tianlai doesn't believe in fate, even if he can't be the protagonist in this life, he has to go out of his own way on the road of acting through his own efforts.
Facts have proved that Hou Tianlai's choice was not wrong. He moved forward step by step by playing the "bad guy", and became a national first-class actor by playing the "bad guy".
Because his acting skills are too good, he is often insulted and abused by the audience, at the beginning, Hou Tianlai did feel sad, but after a long time, he comforted himself like this: Only if he acts well, the audience can be more alert to the bad guys in reality.
In addition to acting, Hou Tianlai's daily life always revolves around his family. For him, his wife is his lifelong partner, and the two have gone through many ups and downs, and this kind of love is extremely precious and must be cherished.
Now, Hou Tianlai is old and his physical strength is far less than before, but he still often comes out to shoot some favorite film and television dramas, such as "Mistake by the River" with actor Zhu Yilong in 2023 and so on.
With a lover by his side, he can continue to engage in the career he likes, and his two daughters have grown up without worrying, and now Hou Tianlai really responds to the joke of netizens: "I don't envy the mandarin ducks, I don't envy the immortals, I envy Mr. Hou every day".
