Although there was some controversy over the exaggerated performance in "Hurricane", this did not affect his reputation, but gave more audiences an insight into his persistent pursuit of art.
Even Xu Jizhou, the director of the TV series "Hurricane", was full of praise for Mr. Wu Gang's professionalism. It turned out that during the filming, Mr. Wu Gang had been suffering from the pain caused by kidney stones, and he originally planned to undergo surgery, but in order not to affect the progress of the crew, he chose to grit his teeth and persevere, which eventually led to symptoms such as stiffness and edema of facial muscles in the play.
In family life, Mr. Wu Gang also lives a happy life. His wife, Ms. Yue Xiuqing, has wholeheartedly supported her husband's career since she got married, and has done her best to create a warm and comfortable living environment for him.

2. Review the hard work of Mr. Wu Gang in his youth
a. In order to create the character, he did not hesitate to lose 20 pounds, and even suffered from kidney stones
To delve deeper into the story behind Mr. Wu Gang's achievements today, we must go back to his youthful and vigorous years. In 2007, the famous director Yin Li was preparing to shoot the movie "Iron Man", and when choosing the actor of the protagonist Wang Jinxi, he did not hesitate to set his sights on Mr. Wu Gang.
After learning the news, Mr. Wu Gang gladly accepted the challenge, and being able to play this great hero is undoubtedly the highest honor in his career.
Regrettably, however, the investors questioned the image of Mr. Dennis Wu Gang, who they considered to be too gentle and bookish, far from the image of the worker in the film.
After learning of this situation, Mr. Wu Gang did not hesitate to express his determination to the director: "Please give me two months! I will definitely be able to successfully create an image suitable for the role."
In order to reproduce Wang Jinxi's weather-beaten skin, Mr. Wu Gang resolutely implemented the plan of exposing himself to the scorching sun every day and frequently doing heavy physical labor. In order to get closer to the worker's body, he chose to live on peanuts every day, and only tasted a few slices of boiled vegetables when he was hungry.
In just two months, Mr. Wu Gang successfully lost nearly 20 pounds of weight. However, this is only the beginning, in order to make the image more realistic, Mr. Wu Gang is not afraid of hardships during the filming process, even at the cost of physical injury.
During a shooting accident, the high-pressure water jet penetrated his eyelids directly, and the pain at that time was indescribable, and his eyes and mouth were filled with mud.
Despite this, Mr. Wu Gang remained tenacious and told the director that he could continue filming. It was not until he could no longer bear it that he was rushed to a hospital 40 kilometers away from the scene for treatment.
During the shoot, even if the eyelid was pierced, he still insisted on getting the job done
In order to pursue the perfect interpretation effect, he does not hesitate to pay the price of art
It is precisely because of Mr. Wu Gang's firm belief and admiration for art that he was able to brilliantly interpret Wang Jinxi's "iron man spirit" in this movie, and won the Best Actor Award at the 27th China Film Golden Rooster Awards.
This persistent pursuit of art has always run through Mr. Wu Gang's acting career, and has created his brilliant achievements today.
3. The full support of his wife, Ms. Yue Xiuqing
Take the initiative to withdraw from the stage to create a better creative environment for Mr. Wu Gang
Mr. Wu Gang was able to devote himself to the realization of his artistic dream, which is inseparable from the full support and selfless dedication of his wife, Ms. Yue Xiuqing. The first encounter between the two can be traced back to the training course of the Beijing People's Art Academy in the late 80s of the 20th century, when Mr. Wu Gang was deeply attracted to Ms. Yue Xiuqing when he first met her, and her beauty and charm illuminated his world like sunshine.
After a period of passionate love, the two finally entered the palace of marriage in 1991. However, at the time of his marriage, Mr. Wu Gang's income was meager, with a salary of only 20 yuan per month, and his life was very difficult.
However, what is surprising is that Yue Xiuqing, with her extraordinary appearance, is even better than her husband Wu Gang in her career. She has appeared in many outstanding film and TV series such as "The Courtyard" and "The Ugly Girl", and has successfully won a good salary.
Show the true character of virtuous and helping, and take care of the trivial family life
In the family field, Yue Xiuqing has played a conscientious role as a virtuous helper, and she takes care of every detail. Wu Gang's deficiencies in daily life, such as repairing furniture and cooking food, are all taken care of by Yue Xiuqing.
Once, Wu Gang went out on business but unfortunately lost his way, and in the end he could only rely on the help of his wife to get out of the predicament. These seemingly ordinary little things vividly show Yue Xiuqing's meticulous care for her husband.
Wu Gang even joked that he was like a "big boss", and Yue Xiuqing was his "housekeeper".
It is this deep relationship between husband and wife that enables Wu Gang to devote himself to artistic creation without any worries, and finally climb to the top of his career.
Fourth, Wu Gang's career has risen steadily
With excellent works, he gradually won public recognition
Wu Gang's acting career has not been smooth sailing, but he has always been firm in his beliefs and unremitting pursuit of his dreams. He moved forward steadily with a solid pace, and finally in the coming days, he gradually won the recognition of the audience with one masterpiece after another.

The hit of this drama made Wu Gang famous overnight, and his popularity soared rapidly.
Subsequently, Wu Gang once again played righteous characters in anti-crime and evil-themed dramas such as "Icebreaker" in 2017 and "Roving Procuratorial Team" in 2020, which can be said to be a perfect integration with such characters. The audience saw him stand up again and again, bravely fighting against the evil forces, and their admiration for him spontaneously arose.
The performance of "Hurricane" was questioned and sparked heated discussions
The truth is revealed: Wu Gang's dedication to art led to serious injuries
Just as Wu Gang's career is booming, in 2023, he will be fiercely criticized for his role as "Xu Zhong" in the popular TV series "Hurricane" at the beginning of the year. Some people accused him of being too pretentious, with a puffy face and unnatural double eyelids.
"What kind of plastic surgery do you have at such an age? Do you want to pretend to be tender and attract attention?" Such doubts are endless, and Mr. Wu Gang was ridiculed for this, and was once regarded as a joke. This made many movie lovers deeply disappointed and confused, and some even accused him of being "too contrived".
However, in fact, Wu Gang did not do it on purpose, his facial appearance and those unique eyes, what he carried, is just the heavy price he paid for the interpretation of art, as early as a few years ago, in order to be able to accurately shape the form of a worker, he did not hesitate to endure physical trauma, after suffering a serious blow to the eye, underwent countless surgeries, to form such a unique appearance, which just reflects his firm belief in the pursuit of art and unremitting efforts!
Director Xu Jizhou was even more amazed by Wu Gang's professionalism, it was revealed that during the filming of the TV series "Hurricane", Wu Gang has been silently suffering from the pain caused by kidney stones, and should have undergone surgery, but in order not to delay the progress of the crew, he chose to grit his teeth and insist.
This is also the reason why his face looks a little stiff and puffy, Wu Gang's dedication and persistence in art is undoubtedly worthy of the respect and admiration of each of us!
5. The two have been together for more than 30 years
Acquaintance in the era when dreams began
Wu Gang's marriage with his wife Yue Xiuqing can be traced back to the Beijing People's Art Theater Training Center in the late 80s of the 20th century. At that time, the theater industry was in the recovery stage, and both of them were enthusiastic young people with dreams.
A chance eye contact, Wu Gang was deeply attracted by Yue Xiuqing, who was five years younger than him, with bright and enthusiastic eyes, like a peacock opening the screen, showing Yue Xiuqing's endless youthful vitality Wu Gang fell in love with her at first sight, and since then he has launched a passionate pursuit, perhaps moved by Wu Gang's sincerity, or born with a special emotional tendency towards "big brother" men, Yue Xiuqing, a young girl, has no resistance and is easily conquered by Wu Gang, a personable man.
During difficult times, they supported each other and became more and more affectionate
In the end, both of them were successfully admitted to the Beijing People's Art Theater and officially devoted themselves to the theater career. In 1991, Wu Gang resolutely decided to bring his lover Yue Xiuqing back to his hometown and hold a wedding.
At that time, who could have predicted that there would be a long and arduous period waiting for them? It was the tempering of these hard years that made the relationship between them deeper and deeper, and when Wu Gang gradually emerged and became a well-known actor, the people around him all expressed envy for having such a virtuous wife, Yue Xiuqing.
Sixth, the conclusion: Wu Gang, who did not forget his original intention, finally won a double harvest of career and family

Such a dedication was undoubtedly bloody, but in the end, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for his perfect interpretation of the "Iron Man Spirit" and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
Even in the work "Hurricane" many years later, Mr. Wu Gang still maintains the same focus and dedication. In the play, his face is swollen and his double eyelids look a little unnatural, which is actually due to the fact that he has been suffering from the great pain caused by kidney stones, and he should have undergone surgery, but in order not to affect the filming progress, he chose to resist.
This kind of professionalism made director Xu Jizhou full of praise and admiration for him. It can be said that the most fundamental reason why Mr. Wu Gang has been able to achieve today's brilliant achievements is that he has always adhered to his original intention of art and has never wavered in the slightest.
This firm belief and persistent pursuit not only deeply touched him, but also deeply infected and influenced his family.
