42 years ago, the film "Ah Cradle", written by Xu Qingdong and directed by Xie Jin, was released, which reflected the story of Yan Security Nursery, which caused a great response as soon as it was broadcast.
42 years later, the TV series "Ah Cradle" edited by Wang Qian was broadcast on many platforms, and this TV series was Wang Qianli's last wish to overcome the difficulties of the crowd and complete it for the director of her deceased husband Xu Qingdong.
In 2014, Xu Qingdong suddenly died of illness, leaving Wang Qian orphaned and widowed. Wang Qian was widowed for 7 years, did not fall in love or marry again, but in order to complete her deceased husband's will, she put her focus on the preparation of this TV series and began to complete this TV series step by step.
Wang Qian's spirit has touched many people.
Speaking of Wang Qian, many people may not know, but when it comes to the heroic female police officer Ji Jie in "Six Groups of Serious Cases", I believe that most people know. Ji Jie's actor is Wang Qian.
One
In 1968, Wang Qian was born in Tianjin to an intellectual family, her parents were teachers, and Wang Qian's underside, there was a younger brother.
Before the age of 18, Wang Qian was a well-behaved girl with the top grades, and Wang Qian's ideal was to be admitted to Beijing Normal University and become a teacher like her parents.
But when I was 18 years old when I was about to take the college entrance examination, my mother suddenly fell ill, and it was a very serious blood disease, and the life at home was suddenly chaotic. My brother is still young, and my father is busy at work. Therefore, Wang Qian gave up her studies and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her mother.
Early every morning, Wang Qian hurried back from the hospital, made meals for her brother and father, and rushed to the hospital to take care of her mother. After two months, Wang Qian lost more than a dozen pounds.
Mom saw it in her eyes, the pain was in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
A month and a half before the college entrance examination, her mother said that Wang Qian wanted Wang Qian to go back to school, and Wang Qian had to go back to review and prepare for the college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination results came out, Wang Qian's results were not ideal, and she was admitted to the thermal engineering major of Tianjin Engineering Vocational College. This profession, in layman's terms, is to burn boilers.
Wang Qian did not have time to be sad, because of the burden of the family, but also she to share, the relatives of her mother's patients introduced her to a job, packaging food, 5 yuan a day, until the beginning of school.
Wang Qian has a classmate's mother who works in the cultural center, she knows the situation of Wang Qian's family, and in the summer vacation of her freshman year, the classmate's mother helped Wang Qian find a part-time job and was responsible for repairing books in the cultural center.
The cultural center was on the second floor, and the third floor was rehearsing the first amateur drama sketch competition in Tianjin.
One day, Wang Qian was tinkering with books, and Teacher Li on the third floor suddenly asked: Wang Qian, are you a college student?
After receiving a positive reply, Teacher Li said that we were rehearsing a sketch, which was the story of a hit worker pursuing a college student. The original actress is temporarily out of the situation, tomorrow will start acting, you come to play the college student.
Wang Qian, who had no acting experience, was frightened and kept waving her hand and saying no, but Teacher Li was very confident in Wang Qian (the key was still that she couldn't find the right person) and shoved the line manuscript into her hand.
In this way, Wang Qian was driven to the shelves, and that night, Wang Qian spent most of the night memorizing lines. The next day on the stage, I felt that it was not bad, and finally won the third prize of the sketch, and Liu Yajin and others won the first prize.
However, at that time, Wang Qian did not know Liu Yajin, and he did not expect that he would also eat the bowl of performing arts in the future.
In her junior year, Wang Qian went to Tsinghua University one day to see her cousin, and the two walked to the Beijing Film Academy. At that time, the Beijing Film Academy was under great construction, and there was no school gate, only a standing wooden sign that read Beijing Film Academy.
It may also be providence that when Wang Qian went, she was catching up with Nortel in the enrollment. Wang Qian thought, come here, just try it.
In fact, Wang Qian's idea at that time was very simple, the college entrance examination was abnormal, and she could not be admitted to the ideal university, and her mother was very guilty. Wang Qian thought that if she was admitted to Nortel, her mother would be happy.
Temporarily, she did not prepare any materials, and she successfully registered. At the scene of the next professional examination, many students are fully prepared, and the various talents are dazzling.
When it was Wang Qian's turn, Wang Qian performed a sketch according to her own understanding, and she did not expect to be admitted. At that time, the Nortel Performance Department recruited a total of 11 people. These 11 people are basically still active in the show business circle today.
Two
Soon after entering school, Wang Qian and her classmates Yu Feihong and Liu Yanjun participated in the filming of the movie "Special Administrative Region Migrant Girl", which was produced by the Pearl River Film Studio and was known as the predecessor of the TV series "Foreign Sister".
It is also a story that reflects the story of mainland female workers going to Guangdong to work, but the response of this movie is not as big as that of "Foreign Sister".
After "Special Zone Migrant Girl", Wang Qian has successively participated in the filming of films such as "Autumn Harvest Uprising", "Angry Sea Red Face", "Surrendered Love" and so on, in addition, she also participated in the filming of two TV series.
In order to solve the pressure of life at home, in addition to filming, Wang Qian also has an identity, is a part-time salesman of an advertising agency.
At the Chengdu Sugar and Wine Fair in 1992, Wang Qian and the advertising agency also went to Chengdu together.
That night, there was a boss wine dealer, invited a lot of exhibitors to play in a private room, Wang Qian found this dealer, said I designed the advertising words for you, and then rushed to the stage, shouting loudly the advertising words she temporarily remembered, want to live to 99, often drink ****.
The boss was very happy to hear it, and after Wang Qian came down, he thanked her vigorously. Wang Qian said, we have a film crew that can shoot advertisements, do you want to shoot one too.
After the boss asked an advertisement for 8,000 yuan, he immediately made a decision, let Wang Qian Company shoot 2 advertisements, and made payments on the spot.
With a cheerful personality and unremitting efforts, Wang Qian has not yet graduated from college, and she has taken on her brother's tuition fees and part of her mother's medical expenses.
After graduating from university, Wang Qian passed the exam of being a host at Hong Kong City Television and became a host.
At that time, she hosted a variety show about celebrities, which was somewhat similar to the interviews she has now. At that time, the more popular singers, such as Lin Yilun, Yang Yuying, Gao Linsheng, etc., had all appeared on Wang Qian's program.
But after half a year, every day on the manuscript, the actual record, Wang Qian felt a little bored, and the role of the TV station as a springboard to the road to the actor did not appear, her heart, or only want to be an actor.
So she submitted her resignation to the TV station and officially became a freelance actress.
It was also in this year that Wang Qian met the noble and beloved of her life, Xu Qingdong.
Three
Xu Qingdong is a director and screenwriter 23 years older than Wang Qian, and Xu Qingdong also graduated from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy in the year Wang Qian was born.
In 1979, "Ah Cradle" was written based on a true story, directed by Xie Jin and written by Xu Qingdong.
In 1981, Xu Qingdong's first directorial work, "Awakening", was also directed and written by himself.
Director Xu Qingdong has directed many classic film and television dramas in his lifetime, such as "Anti-Drug Hero", "Police Storm", "Kissing Russia", "Walking in Front of the War", "Hurricane Action" and so on, all of which are from Xu Qingdong's hand.
Of course, the most classic is "Six Groups of Serious Cases", which is also this work, which brings him and Ji Jie together.
When Xu Qingdong became famous, Ji Jie was still a newcomer in the show business circle.
The first drama the two worked together was a movie called "Surrendered Love", when Ji Jie had just graduated, but her acting experience was already very rich. In the film, Wang Qian plays a small role that is not eye-catching.
However, starting from the second "Red Face of the Angry Sea", Wang Qian's role is heavier than one.
Wang Qian once said that director Xu Qingdong has a special charm in him, and the people who follow him are all old people who have followed him for ten or twenty years. Obviously, Wang Qian was also attracted by this charm of Xu Qingdong.
In 1996, after the film "Anti-Drug Hero" starring Wang Qian and Shen Junyi was released, it aroused strong repercussions from the audience. It is also this drama and the previous "Red Face of the Angry Sea" that made Xu Qingdong have the idea of making a police drama, that is, "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
In order to make a good film of "Anti-Drug Hero", the cast and crew all went to Ruili, Yunnan.
Yunnan Ruili has beautiful scenery and four seasons like spring. But at the same time, because it is located in the "Golden Triangle", the anti-drug work is also the most arduous and dangerous.
After arriving in Yunnan, Wang Qian's daily work was to learn the daily work of the anti-drug police, the arrest of the anti-drug team, Wang Qian would occasionally go to the scene, in this process, Wang Qian learned how to quickly search after being caught.
In addition, she also went down to the grassroots level to understand the families affected by "poison", often driving for most of the day to visit a family. Deepen the harm caused by "poison" to the local population.
In addition, Wang Qian also has an important job, that is, basking in the sun.
At that time, the actors were more dedicated, and for the sake of the real characters, it was common to gain weight and become black and ugly.
In order to make her skin as dark as the locals' skin color, Wang Qian first puts on sunscreen at noon when the sun is the most poisonous, and then lies on the roof to bask in the sun.
After more than a month, Wang Qian's skin was tanned a lot, placed in the pile of people, and not acquaintances could not see that she was Wang Qian.
Kung Fu pays off, after the broadcast of "Anti-Drug Hero", it attracted the attention of the above, with this drama, Wang Qian won the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress.
This is the first grand prize won by Wang Qian since her debut.
Four
The success of the drama "Anti-Drug Hero" also made director Xu Qingdong pay more attention to the practice of actors.
In 1998, the first season of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" was put on the agenda, and Wang Qian was already an important member of Xu Qingdong's team at this time, in addition to being an actor, she also served as a screenwriter in the play.
Prior to this, Wang Qian had written scripts for several film and television dramas, and the TV series "All the Way with You" starring Kong Lin had a total of 20 episodes, of which 10 episodes were written by Wang Qian.
Like "Anti-Drug Police", a month before the official start of filming, the main actors gathered in advance, and everyone went to a major crime team in Beijing to study with the detectives of the major crime team for several weeks.
This study is not a formality, but often follows the serious crime team to the scene. With the real experience of the scene, the actors learned and improved very quickly.
An old policeman who has been working for more than 40 years told Wang Qian that the police are in the pile of people, and you still want to distinguish it, or you have to look at it well.
Ji Jie listened to the words of the old policeman, carefully observed the criminal police around him, and found that they had a sharp eye, a bright spirit, and were not as scattered as ordinary people. Even though they sometimes come back tired from a mission, there is always light in their eyes.
In "Six Groups of Serious Cases", Da Zeng is older but experienced, Ji Jie is both beautiful and thoughtful, Jiang Han is a sharpshooter and master of disguise, Huang Tao is excellent in high technology, Bai Ling is in charge of logistics, and Old Zheng is in charge of the rear.
Such a combination has made "Six Groups of Serious Cases" stand out in many film and television dramas, and Ji Jie has become a professional enlightenment coach for many women. With this drama, Ji Jie won the Golden Eagle Award for Most Popular Actress by the Audience.
The audience's voice was too loud, and "Serious Case Six Groups 2" was quickly put on the agenda, but because Li Chengru was older, under the advice of the relevant leaders of his superiors, "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2" was replaced by Yang Zhen.
In the following seasons, Ji Jie's partner has been changing, only Ji Jie has always been there.
It is also in the series of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" that Wang Qian's ability has been brought into full play. She became a producer, a co-ordinator, a screenwriter, and in addition to acting, the whole crew had a whole bunch of things waiting for her.
Wang Qian's great transformation is inseparable from one person, he is the director Zhao Junkai.
Speaking of which, Zhao Junkai is 3 years younger than Wang Qian, and he is also a screenwriter and a producer later.
A series of works such as "Six Groups of Serious Cases", "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes", "One Meter of Sunshine", "Agni King Kong", "Wind and Rain Xiguan", "Bright Sword" and so on are all successful actions of Zhao Junkai through his status as a producer.
When he learned that Wang Qian had the idea of becoming a producer, Zhao Junkai was particularly supportive, saying:
Sister, you are a good actor, a good screenwriter, a good coordinator, believe in yourself, bold to do! I'll back you up.
In this way, Wang Qian became the housekeeper of the crew, the work plan, the actual shooting, the shooting cycle, the safety production, the whole group of 100 people eating, drinking, and sleeping, etc., Wang Qian had to manage.
People don't try, they never know how much energy they have.
Wang Qian, who has always been unconfident in herself, did not expect that she could be handy in making a producer, although she was tired and busy with her heels, but she enjoyed it, especially full and happy.
Five
In September 2014, director Xu Qingdong died suddenly, at the memorial service, Wang Qian and Xu Qingdong's eldest daughter received as the main family, and everyone found that Wang Qian did not know when to form a new family with director Xu Qingdong.
In 2003, when Wang Qian participated in a variety show, she also claimed to be single, and her mother also urged marriage in the show. Around 2007, Wang Qian's daughter was born.
According to this calculation, Director Wang Qian and Director Xu Qingdong should have married when filming "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", when Wang Qian was 38 years old and director Xu Qingdong was also over 60 years old.
Director Xu Qingdong had a previous marriage, his wife was an outsider, and the two divorced in the mid-90s. After that, Xu Dao did not remarry until he met Wang Qian.
From acquaintance to marriage, the two have walked for nearly 10 years, and the two sides have only entered the marriage after knowing each other very well, but they did not expect that less than 10 years later, Xu Dao hurried away.
On the day of Xu's departure, the medical drama "The Story of the Emergency Room" directed by him has just passed the review for 2 days, this drama, Wang Qian is the lead actor Su Li, but also the chief producer of this drama, which can be said to be the common effort of the couple.
After Xu Dao left, Wang Qian also began to reduce the number of plays, and every time the news that appeared in front of the public was related to her face.
Everyone only paid attention to the appearance, but they did not know that over the years, Wang Qian had been fulfilling her unfulfilled wishes for her husband.
In 2008, Xu Qingdong had just finished filming "Six Groups of Serious Cases 3", and Wang Qian had just become a mother at that time, and especially wanted to do something for her daughter. She said to Xu Qingdong:
Policeman, doctor and teacher, these three professions are one of the most basic cornerstones of the construction of this social moral system, let's do the teacher theme next.
However, Director Xu proposed that we simply make a drama version of "Ah Cradle".
Wang Qian knows that Xu Dao experienced that era, and he is also a member of "Ah Cradle", when the movie "Ah Cradle", Xu Dao was written based on real historical events.
Since 2009, Wang Qian and Xu Qingdong have begun to prepare for this drama, and the whole team has visited a number of parties who have walked out of the Yan Security Incubator.
In this drama, Director Xu planned to put it on the agenda after filming "The Story of the Emergency Room", but "The Story of the Emergency Room" was also broadcast, and Director Xu left.
After Xu Dao left, Wang Qian decided to help her husband fulfill this last wish.
At the beginning, the screenwriting lineup of "Ah Cradle" was very scary, including Jiang Yang, the screenwriter of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", Ma Xiaoyong, the screenwriter of "Loading Stage", and Wang Qian herself.
Many investors scared away when they saw the screenwriting lineup, experienced too many blows, when Wang Qian met Jia Yiqun, did not hold out much hope, but did not expect that Jia Yiqun did this thing.
On May 4, 2021, Youth Day, the TV series "Ah Cradle" starring Haiqing was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, Oriental Satellite TV, Guangdong Satellite TV, and simultaneously broadcast on Tencent Video, Youku Video, iQiyi and other platforms.
Although the TV series "Ah Cradle" is not as repercussive as the film version of "Ah Cradle" 42 years ago, the real plot has been affirmed by many viewers.
Director Xu Qingdong's last wish for many years has finally been realized, and Wang Qian has also completed an impossible thing.
Debuted for so many years, Wang Qian played a policeman, lawyer, doctor, etc., some people call her the queen of industry dramas, but her most deeply rooted role, or police, who let Ji Jie's role too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
Over the years, Wang Qian and her daughter lived alone, from Wang Qian's social media can be seen, the two live a very happy life, the daughter is also very intimate, by Wang Qian called "little cotton demon".
Actors, screenwriters, producers, coordinators, any of these identities, so that Wang Qian can stand in the industry, some people say that her face has changed, although this is an era of looking at faces, but Wang Qian even if she does not rely on her face to eat, she can still live a very dashing life.
