Recently, the 53-year-old He Bing's appearance rate is a bit high.
First, he starred in the Qing Dynasty official drama "Liu Yong's Pursuit".
He Bing in the poster seems to be familiar, and there is a meaningful taste at the end of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
In recent years, He Bing's costume plays have been rare. The last costume drama with good reputation and ratings was "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer" 16 years ago.
Then on the 8th, members of the China Television Association Acting Committee recorded a video of the proposal for the majority of actors.
The content of this video is probably to advocate that actors become public figures who can cultivate both virtue and art and spread positive energy.
The members who appeared on the camera included three generations of actors, including the old, middle-aged and young actors, and He Bing was also among them.
As an actor recognized by the official media as a virtuous and artistic actor, He Bing has always been low-key and calm in the entertainment industry.
He crossed from the drama stage to the actor's exclusive stage, constantly accumulating strength and leaving many classics on the screen:
The funny little bastard LiangZi in "Party A and Party B";
Song Ci, who is good at judging cases and is just and upright in "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty";
The kind and generous but poor-mouthed stupid pillar in "Love Full courtyard";
The cunning Lu Zilin in "White Deer Plain"...
From the fledgling youth to the gradual cultivation of acting skills, he has passed the age of knowing the Mandate of Heaven, this road is not easy.
01
Born on April 26, 1968, He Bing is a native of Beijing.
His childhood was not rich, nor did he live well, there were no happy times.
At that time, the economic conditions in the family were average, and the things that other people's children could easily have, he always had only envy.
He Bing in the school is a naughty and active student. During class, I always deserted and played with my classmates around me.
Over time, not only did their grades decline, but they also affected the learning of other students.
Therefore, He Bing was punished by the teacher and disciplined by his parents. Being beaten is a common thing.
His parents were both teachers and had strict tutors, especially He Bing's mother.
How strict is it? He Bing's score must be double hundred, and the worst one must be a full score, otherwise he will not be allowed to eat and kneel.
His unhappy childhood made him introverted and sensitive, and he knew how to observe words and colors.
Although He Bing is a poor student in learning, his acting talent seems to be innate.
In junior high school, he was able to speak the Tao, and he won awards for the school at the district level and even the city level.
When the second year of high school was divided into liberal arts and sciences classes, because of the specialty of recitation, He Bing entered the key class of liberal arts.
But he is under more and more pressure, he has been studying normally, and now he is surrounded by classmates with excellent grades.
During that time, he often skipped class, revised his grades, and pretended to be his parents' signatures.
When the college entrance examination was approaching, He Bing knew that he had no chance with the key universities, so he made up his mind to take the examination for an acting major.
Originally, he wanted to enter the Beijing Film Academy, but he heard that there were high requirements for the students' appearance and gave up.
Later, He Bing heard that there was a Central Academy of Drama that did not require an image, so he asked his aunt to borrow 5 yuan for the registration fee.
As a result, when filling out the name form, I first encountered Hu Jun, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and outstanding height.
The first left in the picture shows Hu Jun
Then I met Jia Hongsheng, who was handsome and handsome.
The first left in the picture is Jia Hongsheng
Then I met Guan Hailong, who had a super stylish beard and looked like a grandfather.
He Bing's heart was suddenly cold, and he felt that he was out of the play.
Finally, on the campus, I also saw Gong Li and Wu Yujuan, who had just finished the physical fitness class, and were tall and beautiful.
Say good not to look at the value of the face?
Despite this, He Bing was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and became classmates with Xu Fan, Chen Xiaoyi, Jiang Shan and Hu Jun.
In the class, He Bing's appearance is at the bottom, but because of his good eloquence, he loves to play tricks and becomes the secretary of the Tuanzhi Branch.

In 1991, He Bing graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and was assigned to the People's Art Theater in Beijing.
At that time, his classmates were invited to film and television dramas one after another and began to emerge in the show business circle.
For example, as soon as Chen Xiaoyi graduated, she was nominated for the Feitian Award for Best Actress with "Foreign Sister";
One year after graduation, Xu Fan served as the heroine of the movie "The Great Satan";
And Jiang Shan's "Addiction" made her popular overnight.
And He Bing, who looks inconspicuous, can only become a variety of small supporting roles and even background walls in Beijing, which is full of talents.
A play with lines still shouted "newspaper" in Pu Cunxi's masterpiece "Li Bai".
In the four years of entering the human art, He Bing basically made a living by running dragon sets in the theater.
During the period, he also took his resume to run various crews, but they all sank into the sea. An assistant director once warmly said to him: "Okay, great, wait for the call." ”
But the other party did not even leave his phone, where the follow-up notice came from.
Looking back on those years, He Bing had grievances: "Anxious, hey, God treated me, treated me unfairly, treated them all very well, and bullied me." ”
But it is more of a gratitude, because there is no drama, he has time to go to the show, to learn more practical things from his predecessors.
In 1992, He Bing played another dragon role in "The True Story on the Stage", but this time he was favored by the director Yingda sitting under the stage. He praised He Bing's performance and issued an invitation for future cooperation.
In 1993, He Bing was arranged by people to play "Birdman", playing Huang Mao, who had a full 7 minute scene. It is also this drama that makes the old predecessors of the art think that He Bing, a child, can act.
Also this year, Indah fulfilled his promise and invited He Bing to star in the sitcom "I Love My Home" directed by him. In the play, He Bing plays Jia Zhixin's buddy Hu San.
Although he is a supporting role, he started He Bing's film and television drama career.
After that, he created many small characters with distinct personalities, either hooligans in the city or poor people, and performed enthusiastically.
For example, Liang Zi in "Party A and Party B", Zhang Xiaojing in "Chinese Restaurant", He Zheng in "Bathing", Zhai Zhigang in "Empty Mirror", Luo Jianfan in "Together", Wu Deli in "Romantic Things" and so on.
Sitcom "Chinese Restaurant"
Movie "Bathing"
TV series "Romantic Things"
TV series "The Legendary Cricket Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty"
At the same time, He Bing's drama career is also getting better and better, ushering in a highlight moment.
In 1999, he won the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award for his role in "Rain Over the Sky".
In 2004, he won the Plum Blossom Award again for the role of Cheng Bao in "The Orphan of Zhao" and won the Golden Lion Award for Drama.

However, these two dramas did not make He Bing out of the circle popular, and what really made the audience remember him was "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer".
As an old drama launched in 2005, it still maintains a high score of 9.3 to this day.
The show also created a rating myth, once as high as 7.85%, even surpassing the "News Network".
In the play, He Bing portrays Song Ci, an ancient detective who is keen and witty, honest and incorruptible, to the fullest.
And this role also allowed He Bing to successfully expand his career fame and audience popularity.
Before that, many people did not expect that He Bing, who played many small characters, could do such a good job as the protagonist of Song Ci who was "Wei Guangzheng".
Originally, the ideal actors of the crew were Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, and Zhang Fengyi, but these old drama bones could not be negotiated, so they found He Bing.
Director Kan Weiping remembers that at that time, He Bing's 13-minute scene was completed in one go, and one passed. In his opinion, this role is none other than him.
That year, He Bing was 37 years old and really red.
Since then, He Bing has gradually begun to play various leading roles in film and television dramas.
In 2011, Xu Ang directed a play called "The Sadness of Comedy", and invited Chen Daoming to star.
This is Chen Daoming's work 30 years after leaving the drama stage, and he directly named himself to cooperate with an experienced actor like He Bing.
The two hit it off, and the drama also became a hit, setting a miracle at the Beijing drama box office in the past 20 years and breaking the box office record of Beijing Renyi in the past 60 years.
It is worth mentioning that the birthdays of the two are on the same day, which makes people can't help but sigh that "life is such a coincidence"
The matter of being approved by his partner also happened in "White Deer Plain" six years later, and the producer and Zhang Jiayi recommended He Bing to play Lu Zilin.
At that time, after the poster of He Bing's role was released, it was subject to a lot of controversy. Many people think that he has small eyes and a small nose, which does not match Lu Zilin.
But He Bing once again, like the "Great Song Ti Criminal Officer" of that year, conquered the audience with his superb acting skills.
Lu Zilin in the original work is selfish, sinister and cunning, and is a typical villain.
And He Bing gave him more "humanity", bad enough to be reasonable and real, making people feel that hateful people must have pity.
At the beginning, some friends thought that he was not acting well, and thought that Lu Zilin should be a person who hated the audience at a glance, such as the expression was yin.
In this regard, He Bing has his own set of theories.
He believes that the actor cannot play the audience's "understanding" of the role, but must play the equation that allows the audience to deduce the answer.
To put it simply, the embodiment of character characteristics should be promoted from every detail and every action.
It is this professional attitude towards performance that He Bing can always interpret the role as flesh and blood, into the wood three points.
In 2020, He Bing won the "Feitian Award" Outstanding Actor Award for his role in "Silly Pillar" in "Love Full Courtyard".
As early as three years ago, he won the Magnolia Award for emperor with this drama.
After experiencing various lives in the play, He Bing's life outside the play was very low-key, so that the outside world once thought that he was divorced.
Until a show, He Bing revealed that his wife was Li Haiyang, an outsider.
They were junior high school classmates, but the two were together many years later. After 22 years of marriage, the couple's relationship is still better.
What is valuable is that He Bing has always maintained a sober understanding of all praise and is in awe of the performance. And this is his "awe", but also won the recognition of the audience, just like he rejected the label of "old drama bone" and "artist" given by the outside world.
In He Bing's view, standing on the Beijing Renyi stage, he is only counted as the Mesozoic, and he has not yet reached the old drama bone.
"The three words of the old drama bone mean that the performance is good, in fact, everyone knows that there are stupid eggs in the older actors, right?
Does being young mean bad?
Since the ancient hero came out of the youth, how did he forget this sentence? ”
Indeed, whether it is old drama bones or small fresh meat, excellent works are the basis for the survival of actors.
The 87th class of Chinese opera, Beijing Renyi, and the place where He Bing stayed have many star-studded names.
And his appearance is not very outstanding, he spent a full thirty years from running dragon sets to supporting roles to picking beams.
He Bing, now 53 years old, still runs at both ends of the drama and the crew. It can not only pick up the beams in film and television dramas with ease, but also make a sound on the drama stage.
Lay a good foundation at a young age, stay sober at the most relaxed age, and maintain a reverence for the profession in your mind.
Such an actor, please give us a few more dozen!
