Located in Xingtai City, Hebei Province, this simple and natural land is the birthplace of the famous Chinese actor Wang Baoqiang. It is this seemingly barren but sincere land that has witnessed a child's enlightenment and growth of future dreams.
Back in time to that cold winter night in 1982, the open-air movie "Shaolin Temple" was like a lightning bolt that pierced the night sky, suddenly illuminating the deep longing in the heart of this 8-year-old child.
On the screen, those agile warrior monks leaped and displayed amazing martial arts, and their images of bravery, fearlessness, righteousness and courage deeply touched the heart of this rural boy.
Wang Baoqiang was deeply shocked by this film, and his eyes were glued to the screen, for fear of missing any wonderful moment. After the end of the movie, he fell into an even more fanatical martial arts dream.
He aspires to one day be like a warrior monk on the screen, with extraordinary skills and a brilliant life, although he was just an ignorant child at the time, and he did not have a clear understanding of the profession of "actor", but he understood that he longed to stand in the spotlight and use his body language to express his strength and dreams.
As ordinary farmers, parents know that farming is their duty, and they also hope that their son will be able to realize his dream in the field in the future. However, Wang Baoqiang is like a demon, stubbornly insisting on pursuing his dream of being an actor.
Although his family was not financially well-off enough to afford the high tuition fees required for him to learn martial arts, after careful consideration, his parents were finally moved by Wang's perseverance.
They made the difficult decision to send their son to the Shaolin Temple and become a lay disciple, hoping to at least some way fulfill his wishes.
In Shaolin Temple, Wang Baoqiang got acquainted with Shi Xiaolong, who also had the dream of being an actor. Xiaolong later quickly became popular with a series of popular film works and became a nationally famous child star.
Watching his friend realize his dream step by step, Wang Baoqiang's heart became more determined, and he decided to use his own hands to open up the road to his dream.
At the age of 16, Wang Baoqiang resolutely stepped onto the stage of Beijing, which was full of opportunities and challenges, with the huge amount of 600 yuan that his parents had worked hard to accumulate. This journey was like a road full of thorns, full of endless unknowns, and yet, he never flinched in the slightest.
He lived in a modest house in the suburbs with four like-minded partners, and got up early at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, ran to the gate of Beiying, and waited for his opportunity.
In the hot summer, he can only eat dry and hard steamed buns, and in the bitter winter, he can only stomp his feet to resist the cold.
In such a difficult and difficult day, Wang Baoqiang gritted his teeth and persevered for four years. Although he is only an insignificant actor and stuntman, earning only enough to make ends meet, the firm dream in his heart has never wavered.
Finally, in 2002, the talented director Li Yanghui had a discerning eye and gave Wang Baoqiang a precious opportunity to participate in his first film "Blind Well".
Although Wang Baoqiang seized this rare opportunity, he knew that it would not be easy. On the set, he was a complete layman and knew nothing about the filming process and professional requirements.
In order not to cause chaos to the crew, he could only observe and study diligently and go all out to adapt to this new environment.
Who would have expected that this unknown little character would win the honor of Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards with his outstanding talent and simple and natural performance? This is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Wang Baoqiang's perseverance for many years, and it has also laid a solid foundation for him to pursue his dreams.
Honor gave him more opportunities, but Wang Baoqiang was not complacent because of this. Under the recommendation of a friend, he got an action stand-in contract with a daily salary of up to 200 yuan. Although he has won the award, he still maintains a modest and cautious attitude, and sincerely says: "This 200 yuan income is also a considerable income. ”
It is this simple and innocent quality that enables Wang Baoqiang to maintain a clear understanding of himself after becoming famous in the future, down-to-earth, and not lost in fame and fortune. In the following years, he has performed well in many film and television works, and has successfully created unforgettable classic images such as "Silly Root" and "Xu Sanduo".
Every time he appears on the screen, Wang Baoqiang can always perfectly show the inner spiritual core of the character, thus winning the ardent appreciation of the audience. He has become an outstanding representative of the spirit of "never give up, never say die", and is respected by the audience as a bright star of positive energy.
At this time, he met her who fate was destined to change the trajectory of his life - Ma Rong.
This romantic journey of acquaintance and love just confirms Wang Baoqiang's innocent and firm belief in love. As a public figure, he still maintains a cautious attitude in the process of pursuing Ma Rong, and tries his best to win her heart by giving exquisite gifts and spending quality time together.
Soon after, the couple officially entered the palace of marriage. In 2008, Ma Rong happily moved into Wang Baoqiang's warm home and began to enjoy the happy life of a housewife. A year later, they received a marriage certificate that symbolized their commitment to love in a low-key manner.
In the three years since then, Ma Rong has given birth to two lovely sons, and Wang Baoqiang's love for his wife is beyond words. In order to make Ma Rong feel at ease, he even handed over 75% of the company's equity to her at the beginning of his career.
In Wang Baoqiang's heart, giving his wife endless wealth is the greatest sense of security. He devoted all his resources to this precious marriage, and hated to dedicate the whole world to his beloved wife.
And Ma Rong was also moved by this deep emotion, and worked hard to play the role of a virtuous and virtuous wife.
In the years after marriage, Wang Baoqiang has always been busy with the shooting of various film and television works, and his career has risen rapidly like a rocket. During that time, he starred in many masterpieces such as "People in Embarrassment", "Hello! Mr. Tree", "Thai Embarrassment", "One Man's Martial Arts", "Detective Chinatown" and many other masterpieces with both word-of-mouth and box office.
With the increasing sophistication of his acting skills, Wang Baoqiang's popularity is also soaring. The audience was all impressed by his simple nature on the screen, and praised him as a powerful actor who "acts like anything".
The classic characters such as "Silly Root" and "Xu Sanduo" in the past have long been deeply imprinted in the memory of the audience.
Unconsciously, Wang Baoqiang has become a golden sign at the box office, and he is also a model and learning model in the minds of countless actors. He used his outstanding performance to interpret the professional ethics of "excellence".
While his career is thriving, Wang Baoqiang has also achieved incomparably fruitful results in his emotional life. Although his relationship with Ma Rong suffered a severe challenge from family conflicts in the middle, he still firmly guarded this precious love in his own way.
At the red carpet ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, Wang Baoqiang did not hesitate to kneel on one knee and affectionately shouted "I love you" to Ma Rong. At that moment, the bright spotlight shone on Ma Rong's face, and her vanity was undoubtedly satisfied like never before.
Since then, Wang Baoqiang has taken Ma Rong more frequently to attend important occasions such as various variety shows, high-end cocktail parties, and new film launches of film and television companies. The names of the two of them seem to have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of audiences around the world, attracting the envy of countless people.
However, who would have predicted that just when this marriage relationship seemed to be as calm as water, a sudden storm was quietly brewing. In August 2016, Wang Baoqiang couldn't bear it anymore and finally publicly revealed that there was an improper intimate relationship between his wife Ma Rong and his agent Song Zhe.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wang Baoqiang, who has always adhered to moral principles, to his trust. Ma Rong not only violated the oath between husband and wife behind his back, but even coveted the wealth he had worked so hard to gain.
Faced with such a despicable fact, Wang Baoqiang had to make a difficult decision - to divorce Ma Rong and end this painful emotional entanglement. This undoubtedly brought him a huge psychological trauma, and a family that was once full of warmth was shattered under the intervention of a third party.
After the divorce, Ma Rong hyped around like a clown, trying to destroy Wang Baoqiang's good image in the eyes of the public. However, the bank card flow of Wang Baoqiang, which she inadvertently exposed, made people see his integrity and character of not hesitating to borrow money in order to pay taxes on time.
Since then, Wang Baoqiang has become a moral model for the entertainment industry to abide by laws and regulations, and has won the admiration and love of the audience.
In the face of Ma Rong's various bad behaviors, Wang Baoqiang's inner pain can be imagined. As a person who has always adhered to the moral bottom line, he once gave Ma Rong endless love and trust, but in exchange for such an unexpected betrayal.
Life after the divorce is not easy, Ma Rong is like a clown to hype around, trying to destroy Wang Baoqiang's good image in the eyes of the public. However, she never expected that it was her behavior that gave people a deeper understanding of Wang Baoqiang's personality charm.
Ma Rong's exposure of Wang Baoqiang's bank card flow record revealed an astonishing fact: this actor, who was once popular all over the country, did not hesitate to borrow money in order to pay taxes on time. This fully proves that he is an honest and trustworthy person who strictly abides by laws and regulations.
Since then, Wang Baoqiang's image has been greatly improved in the hearts of the audience, and he is known as the "moral benchmark of the entertainment industry". And all these changes have also brought unprecedented motivation to Wang Baoqiang, prompting him to start pursuing a new goal in life.
When the pain of divorce gradually subsided, Wang Baoqiang turned his focus to the career path of film director. In 2017, he made his debut as a director and starred in the movie "Havoc in Tianzhu". Although the film finally achieved good box office results, it was questioned and criticized by the industry in the award process.
The Golden Broom Award jury awarded Wang Baoqiang the slightly embarrassing award of "Most Disappointing Director" that year. In the face of such huge pressure and controversy, Wang Baoqiang did not choose to escape or fight back, but showed extraordinary courage and open-mindedness.
He personally attended the award ceremony of the Golden Broom Award and sincerely expressed his attitude: although his qualifications as a director are still young and inexperienced, he will study hard, keep improving, and strive to become an excellent director as soon as possible.
Wang Baoqiang once publicly promised at the Golden Broom Awards that he would definitely come up with better works to prove himself in the future. Since then, he has indeed disappeared from the public eye, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the training of directors and screenwriters.
After several years of hard work, 2022 finally ushered in the harvest season. This year, Wang Baoqiang returned with his first film "In the Octagon Cage". The film is based on the true story of Sichuan's "fighting orphans", and after careful adaptation, what is presented to the audience is a fierce collision between "deception" and "truth", as well as a life-and-death struggle between "good" and "evil".
Judging from the trailer of the movie, Wang Baoqiang has completely gotten rid of the past comedy style and devoted himself to the in-depth excavation of the feature film. Such a transformation has undoubtedly inspired the audience's infinite expectations for his new work, because no matter what role Wang Baoqiang plays or what profession he is engaged in, he can always be meticulous and perfect.
Unconsciously, Wang Baoqiang has become a box office guarantee in the hearts of the audience, and he is also a role model and learning object in the hearts of young actors, known as a powerful faction of "acting like anything".
It is with this firm belief in his career and his professionalism of excellence that Wang Baoqiang can show his strength on the road of directing and realize his other dream.
This former "grassroots" has now transformed into the focus of attention, and with his unremitting efforts and firm perseverance, he has created an admirable "benchmark" image in the entertainment industry.
Whether it is selfless dedication to his beloved, or a modest posture in the face of honor, or an open mind in the face of criticism, Wang Baoqiang has always adhered to the persistent pursuit of dreams, the full attention to the cause, and the endless love of life.
It is this consistent original intention that makes Wang Baoqiang one of the most eye-catching positive energy figures of our time. He interpreted the true meaning of sticking to his heart and chasing his dreams with practical actions, turning his life into a mirror and illuminating the way forward for countless young people with dreams.
