Preface
When "Bright Sword" was broadcast that year, everyone was very surprised that the Japanese officers spoke Japanese, and they felt very novel. In fact, the "Eight Roads, cunning and cunning" that we are familiar with are the "GI Chinese" during World War II, that is, the "Concord language". When it comes to these, we must thank "Tunnel War" and Mr. Wang Xiaozhong, they can be called the originator of Xieheyu, today we will talk about the legendary story of Wang Xiaozhong.
The birth of the originator of the "Concord language".
Wang Xiaozhong, born in Shenyang in 1928, spent 14 years as a slave in the occupied areas of Northeast China, and met a large number of Japanese soldiers and officers. In 1942, Wang Xiaozhong was admitted to the Telecommunications Department of Fengtian Railway College. The school's management, from the principal to the teachers, including the instructors and wardens, was almost entirely Japanese, and most of them were retired Japanese officers.
In the spirit of bushido, they often inflicted corporal punishment on their students, not even allowing them to fall. Wang Xiaozhong recalled that the school's warden, a Japanese officer, usually had a good smile, but in the blink of an eye, he would change his face and start beating people, and the students were not allowed to make painful sounds. This wardenman became one of the people Wang Xiaozhong remembered the most.
Wang Xiaozhong, at the age of 21 in 1949, joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and entered the Northeast Military Region Cultural and Art Troupe. His first film was "Growing Up in Battle", which began a career of villain interpretation that lasted for more than 50 years. He is best known for his image of devils, and these characters are loved by the audience.
In 1965, Wang Xiaozhong filmed the military teaching film "Tunnel War" at Bayi Film Studio, in which he played the role of Yamada, the captain of the devil. In order to highlight the strangeness and ugliness effect of the devil, he carefully figured out the lines and added a large number of "Dide", which made the term "devil's words" widely spread since then.
In addition, based on his experience in telecommunications school, he suggested that the makeup artist add a pinch of "hygiene mustache" to Yamada's lips, a unique shape design that successfully reflected the arrogance and ferocity of Yamada's character, and became a classic element often used in later "Devil Fighting" films.
Known as a "bad guy professional"
In the 60s of the 20th century, Wang Xiaozhong suffered heavy blows for often playing the role of "bad guy". He and his colleagues at Bayi Film Studio, Zhang Liang, Xing Jitian, Zhang Huaizhi, Wang Yi and others were regarded as "dissidents" and were forced to demobilize and return to their hometowns as "labor reformers". Wang Xiaozhong was assigned to the Harbin Railway Locomotive Depot Rolling Stock Factory, engaged in general machine repair work.
In 1972, the Pearl River Film Studio in Guangzhou was in urgent need of talents and invited Wang Xiaozhong and others to join. So, they moved to Guangzhou with their families. In 1973, Wang Xiaozhong and others got a new opportunity, and Bayi Film Studio agreed to their return. However, several artists felt the kindness of Zhuying and decided to stay in Guangzhou to continue their work.
During his stay in Guangzhou, Wang Xiaozhong participated in many films such as "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", "Quiet Days", "An American Pilot", "Happy Everyone", "Bi Sheng", "Impression in Autumn", "Hai Jui Scolds the Emperor" and "Women's Rangers", regaining a new life in his artistic career.
Wang Xiaozhong retired in 1985, but his resignation procedures were handled by Bayi Factory and the transfer procedures were completed. Therefore, he has been a military actor in Bayi Factory for a long time. Although he usually plays the role of villain, he never lets up. On the contrary, he takes each character very seriously, and even analyzes each character's movements in depth until every detail makes sense. Therefore, each villain he plays has unique personality traits, none of them are the same, and each character appears uniquely charismatic.
His characters are inspired by what he observes and accumulates, and he is good at borrowing and being creative. This is perhaps the best example of how to apply what you have learned. Despite the numerous bad guy roles he has played on screen, in real life he is a decent good guy. He never changed himself because he was deeply involved in the role, but made himself a better person by understanding the nature of the bad guys.
Sadly passed away at the age of 88
Wang Xiaozhong, a professional villain actor in the mainland, his motto is "be a down-to-earth person and work seriously". The veteran artist, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 88, spent his years in Guangzhou. He has been playing the bad guy all his life, but he is a good guy in life. Moreover, his genetics are also very strong, and his grandson Zheng Kun inherited his mantle and became the host of Guangdong TV.
Wang Xiaozhong, an outstanding Chinese dubbing artist, has become a representative of a generation of voice actors with his profound voice and exquisite performance skills. During his lifetime, he not only dubbed countless anime and movie characters, but also was an important founder and promoter of China's dubbing industry. Wang Xiaozhong has been in the film industry for many years, and with his unique timbre and rich emotional expression, he has created many classic roles.
