On August 30, actress Dong Weijia posted a set of photos on her personal social account, according to her, the movie she participated in, "Eight Immortals Voldemort of the East Journey", held a grand opening ceremony.
In the exposed live photos, all the actors changed into the black T-shirts provided by the crew and lined up in two rows for group photos, which was quite spectacular. The man and woman standing in the back row C position are the male and female protagonists of the movie, Ma Jingtao and Dong Weijia.
Ma Jingtao, who rarely appeared, appeared on camera wearing ripped jeans, coupled with very tanned skin, and was particularly popular in the crowd.
He is 59 years old, leaving some marks on his face, but he is in good shape, with obvious lines of arm muscles and good shape. In the same frame as Dong Weijia, who is 22 years younger, he is quite a good match, and it is not contrary to the harmony at all.
In this movie, Dong Weijia and Ma Jingtao will play together, the former playing He Xiangu, the latter playing Lu Dongbin, which is also Ma Jingtao's second role of Lu Dongbin after a gap of 23 years.
When Ma Jingtao was young, his appearance was handsome and extraordinary, and soon after his debut, he became popular with a series of Qiong Yao dramas. Although the popularity has been opened, the exaggerated acting skills have always been criticized by the outside world.
In 1998, he took over the costume fairy drama "Journey to the East". With the broadcast of the series on major television stations, the beautiful lakes and mountains, the twists and turns of the story, the audience was deeply attracted, the ratings and word of mouth were both harvested, and the actors were also sought after.
In the play, Ma Jingtao showed a different kind of calm acting skills than in the past, which was greatly appreciated by the audience and friends, which also became one of his masterpieces.
After that, he has successively starred in many different types of roles, including the affectionate and domineering Dolgun, and the cruel and unkind King, each role he has played vividly, and his acting skills have been highly affirmed.
However, with the birth of his two sons, he shifted the focus of his life to his family, and since filming the TV series "I Want to Hear You Say You Love Me" in 2016, he has faded out of the entertainment industry.
Over the years, many people have invited Ma Jingtao to shoot, but he has pushed it away and only occasionally runs a business performance.
It is worth mentioning that when he participated in the commercial performance in March, he deliberately left a 50 yuan tip for the cleaning workers before checking out of the hotel, and also wrote down a thank-you card in his own handwriting, which was very intimate, and netizens praised others for their good character.
Now, as his sons have grown up, he finally decided to make a comeback to film.
Although the role of "Lu Dongbin" has been played by Ma Jingtao once, he is definitely not fried cold rice.
It is reported that he will use his accumulated acting skills for decades to give the role different characteristics, play the role of Lu Dongbin more humane, no longer a high-ranking immortal who does not eat human fireworks, and everyone will wait and see!
