1. The film and television family has passed on the torch, and the artistic inheritance is full of charm!
Located in the deep mountains of the north, the Xue family has a mysterious and unique artistic temperament, and the representative figure is the low-key but talented artist Mr. Xue Zhongrui.
Growing up in this land full of literature and art, his love and dedication to art have been deeply rooted in this long and tortuous artistic road since childhood, Xue Zhongrui has always maintained his enthusiasm for art, actively pursued innovation and excellence, and finally became a well-known drama and reciter at home and abroad.
Once upon a time, Mr. Xue Zhongrui's wonderful performance in the famous drama "Confucius in Cloth" enabled him to successfully shape the image of the thinker Confucius, and his deep understanding and perception of this ancient sage made this character vivid and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In addition, Mr. Xue Zhongrui is also a leader in the field of Chinese recitation, and his book "On the Art of Recitation" can be called a classic work of recitation theory, and he has won many honors such as the highest award for Chinese recitation in "Sound Vibrating the World".
However, the most impressive thing for the audience is undoubtedly the classic role created by Mr. Xue Zhongrui in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" - Suo Etu. His performance is calm and unobtrusive, yet unexpectedly virtuosic, and unforgettable.
Mr. Xue Zhongrui expects his son Xue Yan (Yilun) to inherit his artistic career. Indeed, Xue Yan was widely known for his role as "Little Dengzi" in "Huanzhu Gege" in his early years.
Although he later played a supporting role in many works such as "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Young Son of Heaven", he never reached the height of his father.
It wasn't until he participated in "The Scene of the Crime" and played the role of technician Wang Xiaoguang that Xue Yan's acting skills were able to break through the stereotypes in the hearts of the audience. In the next episodes such as "Rebel" and "Top Secret Mission", his performance is also remarkable, but he has not yet become a first-line star.
Compared with the low-key life of Xue's father and son, the old drama bone Lu Shuming can be described as a well-known superstar in the film and television industry. He devoted his whole life to successfully creating the most courageous and resolute hero image of the Three Kingdoms period - Guan Yu.
The image of this "Guan Gong" has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.
However, on November 1, 2022, Lu Shuming unfortunately passed away due to a sudden heart attack at the age of 66. Soon after, the disciples of the Lu family class spontaneously organized the funeral of the master, and the eldest disciple Guo Shaojie even knelt down in front of the master's statue for a long time with the filial piety of a son, and was grief-stricken.
That scene is moving, the relationship between master and apprentice is better than that of father and son, and Guo Shaojie's admiration for Lu Shuming can be seen.
When we lose Mr. Lu Shuming, a brilliant acting superstar, we also lose a veteran opera director who founded the famous "Lu Jiaban" with his outstanding talent.
What is surprising and touching is that when Lu Weilun took over the responsibility of "Lu Jiaban", he did not close his father's excellent personal account, but instead converted it into a public platform to display the authoritative dynamics and news of "Lu Jiaban"! This undoubtedly shows his determination to perfectly inherit and carry forward his father's great cause and noble spirit.
It is worth mentioning that the excitement of "Lujiaban" is far more than that. On November 1, 2022, a tragic news about Lu Shuming's sudden death from a heart attack shocked the entire opera industry. On the day of the funeral, the disciples of the Lu family class spontaneously organized and carefully prepared for the funeral of the master, and the atmosphere was solemn and full of sorrow.
Among them, the most touching scene was presented by Guo Shaojie, the chief disciple of the Lu family class.
I saw Guo Shaojie wearing a plain filial piety clothes, kneeling respectfully in front of Lu Shuming's statue, his hands kept kowtowing on the ground, and his expression was full of endless grief and sorrow. From his solemn and sad expression, we can deeply feel the deep emotion between master and apprentice, as close as father and son, and he has endless admiration for Mr. Lu Shuming.
As the chief disciple of the Lu family class, he will definitely shoulder the mission of passing on the torch and go all out to carry forward this family class.
After the funeral, Mr. Lu Shuming's biological son Lu Weilun took over the Lu family class. Amazingly, he did not choose to cancel his father's personal account, but skillfully turned it into a public platform to display Lu Jiaban's authoritative news and news.
This fully reflects Lu Weilun's firm belief that he hopes to pass on his father's career perfectly.
Recently, however, some people have questioned Lu Jiaban's profiting from the live streaming activities that began to be broadcast shortly after Mr. Lu Shuming's death, and even accused them of lacking moral bottom line and insufficient respect for their mentors.
In the face of these doubts, Mr. Lu Weilun specially issued a statement to explain.
Mr. Lu Weilun said that when his father was alive, he had repeatedly told him that his disciples could actively carry out the live broadcast business. Therefore, although they are still immersed in the great grief of the Master's death, in order to create a joyful atmosphere, temporarily cover up the sadness in their hearts, and show the entertaining side, which is a common phenomenon in the live broadcast industry, and there is no disrespect for the Master.
In Lu Weilun's eager and sincere analysis, we deeply felt his firm determination to inherit his father's legacy and promote the development of Lu Jiaban. As the son of Lu Shuming's own son, he should undoubtedly have the deepest understanding of his father's hard work and foresight in this family.
We firmly believe that under his outstanding leadership, Lu Jiaban will pass on the torch and continue to shine brightly on the stage of opera!
Section 3: The raging flame that climbs from the grassroots of the common people to the top of the treasure hall
On the vast road of art, many bright stars have risen step by step from the bottom. With their own strength and unremitting efforts, they have gradually created today's brilliant achievements. Mr. Gao Ming and Mr. Niu Ben, senior veterans in the film and television industry, are examples of this.
Mr. Gao Ming was just an ordinary worker when he was young, but he had great love and persistent pursuit of the acting career. In 1995, he won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor with his wonderful performance in the biographical film "Kong Fansen".
This work can be called a milestone work in his acting career.
Since then, Mr. Gao Ming has participated in more and more film and television dramas, and has won nearly 40 high honors for interpretation. Whether the role is from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, or from costume dramas to modern dramas, Mr. Gao Ming can play with ease and freely.
His unpretentious interpretation and sincere and touching emotions have touched the hearts of countless audiences.
Compared with Mr. Gao Ming's background, Mr. Niu Ben's road to fame is more bumpy and difficult. His stage name "Niu Ben" comes from his first film role, "Village Boy Little Cow".
Since then, Mr. Niu Ben has embarked on a legendary acting career that has lasted for decades.
In one film after another, Mr. Niu Ben has created many lifelike little characters with superb acting skills, such as Xiao Pang in "Red Detachment of Women", Da Liu in "Spring Water Dingdong", Guo Tanzi in "Wrangler", etc.
These roles are unforgettable, making Mr. Niu Ben a well-known and powerful actor in the mainland.
With his outstanding acting talent, Mr. Niu Ben has won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Film three times, and has also won the same honor as the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Film three times.
He is a film and television giant who attaches equal importance to strength and achievement.
Nowadays, Gao Ming and Niu Ben's children Gao Liang and Wang Kan have inherited the light of family art and worked hard in the entertainment industry. Gao Liang has been passionate about stage performance since he was a child, and has been honing and polishing at the Chinese Theatre for more than 10 years.
After entering the film and television industry, he did not rely on his father's deep network resources, but relied on his deep and solid acting skills and perseverance and hard work, and finally won wide praise from the audience.
Wang Kan, who was born in a family of actors, has been immersed in the art of Peking Opera since he was a child. He is fluent in Japanese, which has been a major advantage in his career in the film industry. As a father, Niu Ben has always led by example, and his words clearly told him that he could not rely on shortcuts, and that he must rely on his own hard work to achieve the glory of life.
Wang Kan deeply understood the teachings and did his best in the field of film and television with the spirit of hard work, and the two senior seniors bravely entered the entertainment industry with iron-blooded tenderness and created their own brilliant chapters; And their descendants are also working hard to continue this family business, with the same spirit of hard work in the film and television industry continue to climb new heights.
Fourth, the affection of father and son across time and space
Cross talk performance artist Zhang Zhikuan is full of expectations, hoping that his son Zhang Zijian can inherit the family business, because Zhang Zijian, who is only 3 years old, has already shown extraordinary cross talk talent. He can recite the Allegro book "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" in its entirety, which makes Zhang Zhikuan have high hopes for his son.
However, the trick of fate led Zhang Zijian to a very different path, and although after graduating from high school, Zhang Zijian followed his father's wishes to join the Tianjin Quyi Troupe, but during a performance abroad, he was told that his burly figure and grim face were perfect for film acting.
So, Zhang Zijian's heart was moved. He resolutely gave up the road of cross talk performance, chose to apply for the Beijing Film Academy, and devoted himself to the study and practice of film and television performance. After entering the film and television industry, Zhang Zijian's acting career was not smooth sailing.
He has played some inconspicuous small roles for a long time, and even in order to make a living, he had to work part-time in the theater to earn extra income, until he was 28 years old, Zhang Zijian got the first precious opportunity to play an important role in the TV series "White Eyebrows", since then, his acting career has gradually stepped on the right track and ushered in a new chapter.
When the years passed quietly to the age of 36, he was warmly invited by his old classmate Qian Yanqiu to play the key role of Li Yuanfang in the popular TV series "Detective Di Renjie", which became a blockbuster, and his career also entered the track of rapid development!
The deepest impression that Zhang Zijian left on the audience was his unique and precise dedication to opera acting skills and his outstanding ability to depict human nature in depth.
Every time he encounters a frenzied mood or extremely sad scene in the plot, he can always show it in a fascinating and gripping way.
Behind this otherworldly skill, it must come from the foundation of cross talk laid in his childhood, as well as the rich experience that he has undergone hardships later.
From cross talk performances to film and television superstars, Zhang Zijian has crossed the boundaries of time and space, but has always adhered to the persistent pursuit of art. His life journey vividly illustrates the power of dreams and perseverance, as the old saying goes: "Water comes naturally, because of hard work".
Fifth, the perfect integration of martial arts and images
In the field of martial arts performances, Dong Zhihua can be called a veteran of a hundred battles. He began to study Peking Opera and martial arts at an early age, and as an adult, he received professional training at the Central Art Troupe in Beijing, specializing in martial arts performance.
With his profound martial arts skills, he played the role of the "fried ghost" who is good at stick skills in Stephen Chow's classic movie "Kung Fu", leaving an unforgettable impression on the audience.
Dong Zhihua is not only an outstanding martial arts performance artist, but also a talented all-round artist. He worked closely with the well-known director Zhang Che, and in "Shanghai 1937" directed by Director Zhang, Dong Zhihua wore many hats, not only playing the role of the affectionate and righteous "Little Knife Yang Fan", but also serving as the martial arts instructor and assistant director of the film.
This work is not only Dong Zhihua's screen debut, but also Zhang Che's first film directed in the mainland, which can be described as a double happiness.
In addition, Dong Zhihua also has profound attainments in stage art. His Peking Opera masterpieces "Three Forks" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" are deeply loved by the audience. It was precisely because of his wonderful performance in "Three Forks" that Zhang Che introduced him into the film and television industry.
In Director Zhang's eyes, Dong Zhihua's martial arts movements are clean and neat, and he can be called the first short-fighting master he has ever seen.
In the following years, Zhang Che brought Dong Zhihua to Hong Kong for development. During this period, almost all of the Hong Kong films in which Dong Zhihua participated were made by Director Zhang, such as "Magical Power", "Xi'an Killing", "Crossing the River Dragon" and so on.
However, good times are always short-lived. As the Hong Kong action film market gradually weakened, director Zhang Che unfortunately passed away, and Dong Zhihua's journey in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was forced to come to an end.
After careful consideration, Dong Zhihua resolutely chose to return to the mainland for development. Although he has participated in many film and television works since then, he has never been able to win much attention and popularity for him.
It wasn't until 2005 that Stephen Chow warmly invited him to play the role of "fritter guy" again in the classic movie "Kung Fu", and Dong Zhihua's profound martial arts skills were re-displayed in front of the audience.
It is a pity that although Dong Zhihua's strength has been widely recognized, his acting career has not been brilliant because of this. Since starring in the movie "Assassin" in 2013, the former martial arts giant has gradually faded out of public view and disappeared from people's sight.
Now, Dong Zhihua's son Dong Zijian has also joined the entertainment industry and has become a new generation of bright stars. When he was only in his twenties, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with his first movie "Youth Pie", which shows his outstanding acting talent.
Since then, Dong Zijian has entered the fields of music, film, television and variety shows, and has become an all-round artist.
Although Dong Zijian's current worth is not the same, and his career is far better than his father's, the perfect combination of martial arts and art is undoubtedly the most precious wealth of this family. We firmly believe that this precious martial arts gene will surely shine more brightly in the hands of the descendants of the Dong family!
