In recent years, on some social media, the news of the "death" of actor Wang Xingang has been frequently seen.
In fact, this eighty-nine-year-old old drama bone and old artist is enjoying his old age in peace.
When it comes to Wang Xingang, I believe that most people think of the word "handsome man", and he looks handsome and has starred in many movies and television works.
With superb acting skills, he left a deep impression on the vast audience.
01
In 1932, Wang Xingang was born in Liaoning, and his family conditions were relatively wealthy.
Wang Xingang's father, an accountant, deals with abacus and numbers all day without noticing that his son is obsessed with literature and art.
Wang Xingang has shown a different love and talent in music and performance since he was a child.
After entering the school, the teachers noticed that Wang Xingang could sing and dance, was very talented, and was also very active in doing things, so they recommended him to participate in various literary performances.
These small stages are the starting point of Wang Xingang's acting career, and in these performances, Wang Xingang is more determined to take his future path and is determined to take this road.
In 1949, Wang Xingang graduated from high school, and if he wanted to engage in literary and artistic work, talent alone was not enough, and Wang Xingang himself realized this.
Therefore, Wang Xingang signed up for an acting training class, and the strict examination of the training class did not bother him, and finally successfully entered the training class.
But the father expressed strong opposition to Wang Xingang's career plan, and he hoped that his son could pursue the same industry as himself, which was both stable and reassuring for the family, rather than the precarious profession of an actor.
But Wang Xingang expressed his determination to his father, no matter how difficult it is, he must do it himself.
My father had to compromise and let him chase his ambitions.
During the two years of the training class, Wang Xingang learned a lot of things and became the basis for his later performances.
This all comes from his own diligence, when others called on friends to play around, Wang Xingang worked hard to practice the studio.
Whether it is attending class or walking, I am trying to figure out what I have learned.
At that time, Wang Xingang's appearance had already come out of a table of talents, and such a look, anyone who saw it had to exaggerate a few words.
After two years of hard training in the training class, Wang Xingang's youth faded, and his acting level was also greatly improved, so Wang Xingang tried to apply for the literary troupe, and it was expected that Wang Xingang was immediately admitted.
Just entering the literary troupe, Wang Xingang was the first time to meet so many people like him, or even more outstanding in business ability, he felt some pressure.
At the beginning, although Wang Xingang's development in the literary troupe was smooth, it was very ordinary.
However, even if he could not play the leading role, Wang Xingang did not give up, but worked hard every day to learn and constantly asked for advice from experienced predecessors.
Although he only played some marginal roles, Wang Xingang also tried to do his best and did not slack off any opportunity to perform.
Slowly, someone began to notice this handsome lad and got the opportunity to play some important roles.
In classic dramas such as "Li Chuang Wang" and "Three Comrades-in-Arms", Wang Xingang has had a very good performance.
The larger stage exercise allowed Wang Xingang to learn more, and in the face of the warm applause of the audience, he felt that he had not made a mistake and that he would have greater achievements in the future.

Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, and Wang Xingang laid the foundation under the hard work of the literary troupe, and finally ushered in the people who appreciated him.
At that time, the movie "Silent Mountain Forest" was selecting actors, and the studio people and directors came to Wang Xingang's literary troupe to select suitable actors.
Because I couldn't find a suitable candidate after searching, I planned to try my luck here.
As a result, the director took a look at Wang Xingang, who was upright in appearance and tall, and felt that he was very suitable for the temperament of the character, and decided to let him play the male lead.
Accustomed to the performance method of drama that can see the audience's reaction and communicate with the audience, Wang Xingang feels very uncomfortable in the face of the new form of the film, and even wants to quit.
Because this is his first time acting in a movie, he will play the male protagonist, wang Xingang felt great pressure.
But the words of the superior leader made Wang Xingang suddenly enlightened.
As an actor, you should be able to accept a variety of challenges and performance forms, but at the same time, this is still a task that must be completed.
Therefore, just like when he first entered the literary troupe, Wang Xin just began to study hard, under the guidance of the director, he slowly got used to the process and method of film shooting, and the "immersive" performance when acting in the movie also made Wang Xingang feel that he had a very unique charm.
"Silent Mountain Forest" received a very good response as soon as it was released.
The story of the anti-enemy struggle with the background of the times, coupled with Wang Xingang's meticulous acting skills, this film has become Wang Xingang's representative work.
For a time, Wang Xingang was loved by many viewers.
This love of the audience did not make Wang Xingang flutter, but prompted him to study the role more seriously, observe life, and a major source of inspiration for acting is in daily life.
Because Wang Xingang knows very well that as an actor, good acting skills are the most fundamental and most important things that should be improved, although his appearance conditions are superior to ordinary people, but this is only a bonus point.

"Silent Mountain Forest" opened the road to Wang Xingang's film, and with a certain degree of popularity, he soon received an invitation to another movie, which was "Son of a Shepherd".
Wang Xingang, who originally planned to perform "Silent Mountain Forest", returned to the drama stage, as if he was tied to the movie, and he "couldn't get out" as soon as he acted.
After "Son of the Shepherd", Wang Xingang was well received by people in the industry, who all thought that he was a good seedling for acting in movies. Studios are vying to sign him.
Eventually, Wang Xingang entered the Bayi Studio and became a professional film actor.
Wang Xingang, who looks decent, is also at ease playing the villain.
Wang Xingang played the villain Yao Wei in "The Eternal Electric Wave", subverting his previous film image and allowing the audience to see a different Wang Xingang.
Although not a positive character, Wang Xingang is also loved by the audience.
The role of "Yao Wei" is also the only villain role in Wang Xingang's film history.
In 1959, the movie "Sea Hawk" as a founding gift, is a film of great significance.
At the same time, for Wang Xingang personally, it is a work that pushed his film career to the peak.
In this movie, Wang Xingang played a captain, in order to make himself closer to the character image, Wang Xingang and professional personnel to learn a lot of experience, but also went deep into them to observe and experience their lives, to explore the habits and characteristics of the characters played.
In the face of such an actor, director Yan Jizhou was very moved and expressed great appreciation for Wang Xingang, who created with such a rigorous attitude.
This also prompted him to cooperate with Wang Xingang many times.

"Male look at Wang Xingang, female look at Wang Xiaotang"
This sentence comes from the movie "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City", which is also directed by Yan Jizhou.
In this movie, Wang Xingang's handsome little student image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the society at that time, there were still many restrictions on love dramas, and the love of male and female protagonists could not be expressed through straightforward performances, and the performance space of actors was extremely limited.
But Wang Xingang's performance is subtle and powerful, even if it can't use lines and actions, only through the eyes and details, it can also perform the love atmosphere.
For Wang Xingang to be able to do this, the director felt very satisfied, and completely achieved the effect he wanted.
This performance detail, Wang Xingang also brought to the movie "Red Detachment of Women".
In the movie "Red Detachment of Women", not only implicitly expressing the love line of the male and female protagonists, but also in other aspects, Wang Xingang has also made a lot of efforts.
The character of "Hong Changqing" belongs to the grass-roots people, and there must be a rough temperament on his body, and such a role positioning is completely inconsistent with the bookish Wang Xingang.
In order to play this role well, Wang Xingang personally went to the background of the story to experience life, and Wang Xingang's efforts in acting were finally reflected in his works.

After that, Wang Xingang participated in many movies such as "Zhiyin", "Sea Eagle", "Scout", etc., creating many classic screen characters and images, achieving very high achievements in art and winning numerous awards.
Wang Xingang, who is so successful in his career, is very low-key in life and emotionally single-minded.
Wang Xingang's wife, Yang Zhaocai, is also an actor, and the two are each other's first love, which is love at first sight.
Married for many years, the feelings are always the same, very loving.
In 1972, his wife Yang Zhaocai accidentally fell ill and became seriously ill, and a huge blow fell.
However, Wang Xingang did not give up, took good care of his wife, and went around asking for medical treatment for his wife, looking for a good remedy.
The ups and downs that the husband and wife have been accompanied by for many years have touched many people.
Later, the wife's condition gradually improved, and finally recovered, and the wife was also grateful to her husband Wang Xingang for his unforgiving love.

Today's Wang Xingang no longer appears on the screen, he believes that as an actor, you should bring your work to the scene, since there is no acting, you should not come out to face the audience.
In addition to the fact that he was once an actor, he said that he was an ordinary old man, who exercised every day and accompanied his grandchildren.
Such an old artist with both virtue and art should deserve everyone's respect, never regard himself as a star, but an actor.
From a young age, he has talent without pride, and treats acting as a job.
On the road of acting, I also unremittingly improve my acting skills, in contrast, in the face of today's traffic entertainment industry, it is a pity.
Such an actor, whether from the person or the acting skill, can do a good job in both aspects, only with the title of artist.
Wang Xingang was able to win the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Cinema, which is truly deserved.
