In recent times, with the popularity of the two dramas "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" and "Imperfect Her", the old drama bone Jin Shijie has once again become the object of hot discussion.
The former is Jiang Rongshou, who is very deep in the city government; the latter is a psychologically twisted domestic violence father, two completely different personalities, but he shows it vividly.
Doesn't every good actor have experienced all kinds of things to achieve today?' NaturalLy Jin Shijie is no exception!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Born in Taiwan in 1951, although he did not have a too wealthy family, his warm family was enough for him to grow up healthily!
Unlike other mischievous children, Jin Shijie's favorite thing to do since he was a child is to listen to people tell stories.
When he was fine, he also made up stories himself, and I have to say that at that time, he was really a literary and artistic fan youth.
Although he loved words, he felt that it would be meaningless if it was linked to the exam.
Therefore, he did not participate in the joint examination like other children, and in the thousands of troops and horses of the college entrance examination, he chose to go directly to the agricultural college to study animal husbandry and veterinary medicine.
He didn't eat, drink and have fun every day like his friends. Instead, he chose to soak in the library and theater every day, immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself.
So he spent three years here, and after graduation he was assigned to a farm to "feed the pigs".
But the plain and boring life is not what Jin Shijie wants. Finally, one day, this young man with the heart of "the world" is determined to go out and break in!
So at the age of 27, despite his parents' opposition, he resolutely came to the big city of Taipei.
He has done a lot of hard work in order to survive here, but as long as he can live here, he is very happy!
Because he knows that he is not living for the sake of living! He came here to fulfill his dream of being a screenwriter and an actor.
So, after much thought, he chose to stand on his own, but he chose to start a theater troupe!
But suffering from no savings, the idea was shelved!
But he never forgot, so after saving enough salary, he still founded Taiwan's first experimental theater troupe, Lanling Opera Workshop.
In the beginning, the recruits were mostly students who had no acting experience but really loved acting.
Therefore, as the leader of the regiment, Jin Shijie would rather live a life of "having a meal but not a meal", and is willing to pay for props!
Although the days are embarrassing, Jin Shijie is very happy, because he is one step closer to his dream!
And Lanling Opera Workshop is also under his leadership, trying various performance forms, they are their own faction.
Without rules and regulations, they have more room for development. Sometimes, the same scene will have a different ending!
In 1980, after rehearsing for a long time, Jin Shijie put his story "Lotus Pearl New Match" on the stage!
As soon as it was unveiled, it was widely praised by all walks of life. For a moment, Jin Shijie's name rang out, and flowers and applause came one after another.
But he felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and he was not ready! He thinks it's just luck, not strength!
Therefore, he did not accept the pursuit of others calmly, but worked harder to create, and his fame naturally grew.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
In 1986, Jin Shijie waited for the most important role of his life, Jiang Binliu in "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden".
With his wonderful acting skills, "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" achieved good results after its premiere.
The drama version and the film version won the National Literary and Art Award and the Tokyo International Film Festival Young Director Silver Medal respectively, and the Third Place in the Top Ten Chinese Films of 1992 by the Taiwan Film Critics Association.
And from the premiere to the present, for more than 30 years, the show is still being repeated over and over again.
Although, the actors in the play have been changed again, the heroine has changed from Ding Naizhu to Lin Qingxia, Xiao Ai, and now Yuan Quan.
But the male protagonist has never changed!
It can be said that Jin Shijie completely caught fire with the role of Jiang Binliu and became one of the titans of Taiwan's drama industry.
With his own efforts, he has also become a "storyteller" in the hearts of many people.
However, the most poignant thing is his "love story" with Ye Wen!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
In 1996, Jin Shijie and Ye Wen had feelings for each other during their participation in the drama "Between You and Me and Love".
Because the two share the same hobby, they were together soon after!
Jin Shijie, who had been an unmarried person before, had the idea of getting married because of her, but Ye Wen, who had experienced a failed marriage, was slow to agree to his marriage proposal.
As a result, this relationship lasted for 10 years.
Although the two are not married, they have been living together for many years, and maybe the red book is really not so important to them!
But the seemingly happy life, but everywhere ups and downs!
On April 3, 2006, Ye Wen, who was suffering from depression, chose to jump into the sea to commit suicide!
The sudden departure of his girlfriend made Jin Shijie miserable. It was a long, long time before he was relieved from his grief.
He sorted out his mood and said goodbye to her in the form of a "love letter".
The girl said, "In the next life, I will definitely come to you." ”
And the boy coolly said, "Very good! But please come to me a little earlier next time. ”
Just like that, the girl laughed for a long, long time! So long that we forget that "she" has also come to this world briefly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
After bidding farewell to Ye Wen, Jin Shijie threw himself into the drama, and the drama he created and performed won numerous awards.
He was thinking of dying alone, but he was still disrupted by a girl whose plans!
The girl was his student Tu Guping, 25 years younger than him.
Young and beautiful, she attracted Jin Shijie, and Tu Guping secretly liked this talented teacher.
Even though the difference is 25 years, because they like each other, the two officially entered the palace of marriage in 2009.
Although it is highly criticized, the two people who love each other are still sweet and happy!
When he was 60 years old, his wife gave birth to twins for her, and the old Jin shijie was very happy.
I remember when someone once asked him how he felt about being a father, he actually used "fantasy" to describe the mood of that moment!
From this, we can see how unbelievable he was at that time!
In the first half of his life, he was fighting for his ideals, and in the second half of his life, he wanted to fight for his family!
In order for children to have a better life, the old artists who were once "proud of poverty" began to appear frequently on the screen!
He is Wei Zhongxian in "Embroidered Spring Knife"; he is the perverted adulterous demon Yuwen Xi in "The Biography of Chu Qiao", and he is the loving father who makes Shu Qi cry in "The Leftovers are King"...
In 2016, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 6th Beijing International Film Festival for the role of Zheng Shan'ao in the Republic of China martial arts film "Master"
As long as there is a film and television work in which Jin Shijie participates, no matter how good or bad, his appearance will always be the highlight moment in the play.
As Nie Yuan said, "I think this kind of actor, you don't have to say, you must act a lot of how, just one or two scenes, you must be able to see." ”
Now 69 years old, Jin Shijie is still active in the film and television circle, although he is no longer young, but every time he shoots a scene, he is more serious than anyone!
At that time, the literary and artistic youth who had a dream, for the sake of his family, he walked more bravely and firmly.
This "pioneer and representative figure of Taiwan's modern theater" has more fireworks on his body, and more people have seen what is the real level of hall-level performance.
I hope that this old artist can bring us more surprises in the days to come! I wish him all the best.
