In the passionate year of 2022, a TV series "Hurricane", which is known as the annual blockbuster, has set off a wave of heated discussions across the country. The wonderful plot and delicate and exquisite acting skills have made the audience fall in love with it, and the image of "Secretary Dakang" who is resourceful, calm and calm, even in danger, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and unforgettable.
What is amazing is that the actor of "Secretary Dakang" is the controversial veteran actor Wu Gang! Who would have expected that behind this bright aura, Wu Gang had gone through a long and dark trough period?
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Wu Gang has entered the 38th year of his life. At this time, his heart burned with endless love for the acting career, and he resolutely decided to devote himself to this showbiz full of challenges and opportunities. However, as a rising star, the dilemma he faces can be imagined.
Obscure, little known, and even labeled as an "unknown actor", these are the identities that Wu Gang was once most familiar with. However, when he was 45 years old, the goddess of fate finally smiled at him - director Li Lu personally visited him and invited him to play the role of "Secretary Dakang" in the TV series "In the Name of the People" directed by him.
Faced with this sudden opportunity, Wu Gang's heart was full of doubts. He came from an ordinary background, how can he truly understand and interpret the life and inner world of this senior cadre? However, Li Lu did not give up, but with his unique charm and patience, he finally impressed Wu Gang.
Once he made up his mind to take on the role, Wu Gang devoted himself to the preparation of the role. He repeatedly watched all kinds of video materials, carefully figured out the speech and demeanor of the leaders, and even recorded, digested, and absorbed those insignificant details one by one, and then integrated these elements into the image of "Secretary Dakang" in his mind.
It was this careful shaping that made Wu Gang's outstanding performance in the play win warm applause and widespread praise from the audience, and also made people finally remember the name of this "nameless" actor.
If we want to explore the source of the lingering love story between Wu Gang and his wife Yue Xiuqing, we have to go back to the good times when they met - Beijing Film Academy.
At that time, Wu Gang was still a plainly dressed and introverted young student. Several classmates with him have their own characteristics: Ding Zhicheng is cold and majestic, Feng Yuanzheng is gentle and elegant, and Gao Dongping is uninhibited. Among these classmates with distinctive personalities, Wu Gang seemed a little out of place, like a dark fragrance floating, and it was often difficult to detect his existence.
And the faint light that illuminates the depths of Wu Gang's soul is the classmate Yue Xiuqing, who combines beauty and talent. She has a gentle temperament and extraordinary wisdom, and she deeply impressed the originally introverted and shy Wu Gang.
Therefore, Wu Gang threw himself into this decisive battle of love without hesitation, and did his best to cater to Yue Xiuqing's wishes.
He always stands up bravely, and when Yue Xiuqing walks past the door of the ice cream shop on the street, he always buys one with affection; Whenever she was in trouble and needed to talk, he always did not hesitate to give comfort and support...... These meticulous care finally slowly opened Yue Xiuqing's heart.
Soon after graduating from college, the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand and opened a new chapter in their lives. However, after marriage, Wu Gang seems to have lost the ability to live independently, relying on his wife Yue Xiuqing everywhere, like a childish boy.
When we look back at Wu Gang's successful portrayal of the role of "Secretary Dakang" in the hit drama "In the Name of the People", we can't help but be deeply moved by his professionalism and unremitting efforts.
Initially, when the famous director Li Lu approached Wu Gang and wanted him to play the role of a senior cadre in this drama, Wu Gang was full of doubts about this. He considered himself to come from an ordinary background, unable to truly understand and experience the life and inner world of a high-level leader like Dakang. However, Li Lu did not give up, but patiently guided and inspired, and finally made Wu Gang determined to take on this challenge.
Once the role was decided, Wu Gang devoted himself to the preparation of the role. He repeatedly watched various relevant video materials and carefully figured out the words and deeds of the leader. Even those insignificant details, he recorded them one by one, carefully digested and absorbed, and then integrated them into the image of "Secretary Dakang" in his mind.
Wu Gang, who has always been low-key and introverted, made an exception this time to share his preparation process in an interview. He said frankly: "I have collected a large number of videos of leading cadres holding meetings on the Internet, and have studied their facial expressions, speech and demeanor in depth, and I will meticulously record them whether they are useful or not." ”
This shows how deeply he devotes himself to each role and how persistent he is in shaping the characters. This spirit is particularly prominent and admirable in his later efforts to play the role of "Yuan Weimin" in the movie "Winning the Championship".
When playing the role of "Yuan Weimin", the head coach of Chinese women's volleyball in the movie "Winning the Championship", Wu Gang tried his best and did his best. In order to deeply shape this role, he spent up to half a year, carefully observing and studying the daily training of female volleyball players, and knew their every move by heart.
This persistent pursuit of the role has reached a jaw-dropping level! Although the crew has already started filming and the other actors have become proficient, he still sticks to his post and digs deep into the role.
As long as he has free time, he will not hesitate to go to the training ground, quietly observe the movements of the players, and record every detail in detail.
This kind of professionalism even made director Chen Kexin feel helpless.
However, Wu Gang responded firmly: "Please give me three days, and after three days, I will definitely arrive at the crew on time." For a veteran actor who is over half a hundred years old, such a commitment is undoubtedly amazing.
However, what is shocking is that just three days later, Wu Gang actually fulfilled his promise. He showed up on time and immediately threw himself into the intense filming work.
The film was a huge success in the end, with both word-of-mouth and box office hits. Among them, it is naturally inseparable from Wu Gang's accurate grasp of the role, as well as his dedication and dedication to work.
From the TV series "In the Name of the People" to the movie "Winning the Championship", Wu Gang perfectly interpreted what it means to "study with heart" with practical actions.
The TV series "Hurricane" quickly became popular as soon as it was broadcast, but it was followed by Wu Gang's "full of science and technology" face, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Doubts came one after another, and some people bluntly criticized him for "like a grandmother", "like a plastic doll", and "like leavened dough...... There are even people who maliciously belittle him, thinking that his "weird face" is simply a "failure" in the play.
In the face of such a violent storm of public opinion, Wu Gang chose to respond in silence and never made any justification or explanation. Until someone mentioned that as early as during the filming of the movie "Iron Man King Jinxi", he had an accident - during the use of mud instead of oil on the set to simulate a "blowout", the splashed mud unfortunately pierced his upper eyelid, causing one eye to open wide and one eye to squint into a slit.
I thought that the "abnormality" of Mr. Wu Gang's face was just a physical reason, or it was deliberate! However, the shocking thing is that even in such a situation, in order not to delay the precious time of the crew and the carefully arranged filming process, he resolutely decided to grit his teeth and stick to the performance, instead of immediately interrupting the work for necessary treatment.
Subsequently, more shocking facts about Mr. Wu Gang were revealed: it turned out that at that time, he was already suffering from a serious kidney cyst disease and should have undergone surgery immediately. But in order not to affect the shooting, he once again chose to be patient and postponed the operation until after the filming was over.
As a result, throughout the shoot, he not only had to endure the pain of severe renal colic, but also had to deal with facial puffiness, muscle stiffness, and expressionlessness caused by an accidental eyelid injury, which made his image look unnaturally unnatural.
These shocking inside stories were revealed one by one, making those questioning voices disappear without a trace in an instant, and the majority of netizens also felt ashamed and expressed deep apologies for their past prejudices. Mr. Wu Gang is willing to pay the price of his health and even his life for the sake of professionalism, no wonder his face looks so tough and determined.
