In 2004, Wang Bozhao, who played The White Dragon Horse in "Journey to the West", and Zhang Weijian in "Qi Tian Dasheng Sun Wukong" went to the police station because of the violent beating incident.
What exactly is the grudge between these two "masters and apprentices"? What happened to Wang Bozhao?
Wang Bozhao was born in Nanjing in 1957, in that era of scarce resources, the Wang family was also considered to be middle class, so Wang Bozhao did not suffer anything in the womb, and his parents adhered to the idea of raising rich children and raised their sons into aristocratic princes.
Wang Bozhao has had an aristocratic temperament since he was a child, and his parents think that Wang Bozhao is a good material for literature and art, plus there is no shortage of money at home, so when he was very young, he was sent to an art class to learn painting.
Just like this all the way to adolescence, at that time Wang Bozhao was very rebellious, it just so happened that the family had just bought a TV set, Wang Bozhao was very envious of the handsome men and women in the TV set, and felt that if he acted, he would not be worse than them.
However, his parents were bent on making Wang Bozhao a painter and confronting his parents head-on, and they would certainly not agree, and he thought of cutting first and playing later. First, he secretly practiced acting without his parents, and finally the one ran to Shanghai to sign up for the Shanghai Theater Academy.
When the acceptance letter came down, Wang Bozhao was willing to tell his family that his parents felt that it was not easy to enter a university, so they could only agree. Wang Bozhao looks handsome and has an aristocratic atmosphere, so he has won the favor of many girls.
Just after graduation, Wang Bozhao ushered in the first work of his life, "Pen in Love".
At that time, most of the students were assigned to the film studio in their hometown or the local drama troupe, and Wang Bozhao had already gained a foothold in the literary and art circles through this film.
At this time, he did not know that there was going to be a big production, waiting for his performance.
In 1986, director Yang Jie traveled all over the motherland's large and small theater troupes, just to create the "Journey to the West" in the hearts of the Chinese people, which was difficult in casting.
The four masters and apprentices had already returned to their positions one by one, and the role of Bai Longma, who had less drama, Yang Jie already had a candidate in his heart, and that person was Wang Bozhao.
Before playing the role of Bai Longma, Wang Bozhao had already become popular all over the country, and put forward a request that embarrassed director Yang Jie,—— the performance fee was 1500 yuan.

In that era of chicken feathers for sugar, 1500 pieces was nothing less than an astronomical number. The average salary of all the personnel in "Journey to the West" is only a few tens of yuan. However, Wang Bozhao is really too suitable for this role, and the natural aristocratic temperament of Bai Longma complements Wang Bozhao.
Although Wang Bozhao opened his mouth, director Yang Jie still met his request, but director Yang Jie's eyes were clear, Wang Bozhao did not disappoint everyone, and the white dragon horse seemed to come out of the book.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", everyone was taking advantage of the heat to circle money, and Wang Bozhao patted his sleeve to catch up with the fever of going abroad and becoming the first person to eat crabs abroad.
Foreign crabs are so delicious, just arrived abroad, Wang Bozhao encountered cold water, who cares about an oriental face.
After a few years of bitterness, I finally met a noble person.
At that time, Ang Lee was still a small director in Hollywood, and Wang Bozhao was an unknown actor who was unknown abroad, and the two Chinese felt sorry for each other and cooperated in the movie "Pusher", and finally had some fame.
In the face of all kinds of unfair treatment abroad, Wang Bozhao could no longer stand the nameless fire in his heart and slipped back to China.
Because he stayed abroad for too long, he had already missed the best development period, and Wang Bozhao could only be assigned some marginal roles.
The "Jade Emperor" in "The Eight Precepts of the Splendid Pig in Spring", "Bai Xiongqi" in "The Golden Powder Family" and "Gai Shiwen" in "Wang Baojun and Xue Pinggui".
Although the cause has suffered a little setback, the side business has become prosperous.

At the beginning, it was a correct decision for his parents to let Wang Bozhao learn painting. Because his insistence on learning acting has hurt his parents' hearts, Wang Bozhao has not dared to give up painting. Wang Bozhao's painting skills are particularly outstanding, and he was also hired as a university professor, which can also be regarded as the fulfillment of his parents' wishes.
Wang Bozhao, who originally no longer had a nostalgia for the entertainment industry, suddenly thought of transferring to Hong Kong and Taiwan for development. It just so happened that the script of "Little Fish and Flowers" was handed to Wang Bozhao's hand, and the protagonists of this drama were Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Weijian, who had long been red in half the sky, and Wang Bozhao gladly agreed to play the role of the big villain "Jiang Beihe" in the play.
It was this decision that made Wang Bozhao, who had been invisible for many years, once again push to the cusp of the storm.
Because he is a villain, Wang Bozhao has a lot of martial arts scenes with Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng in the play.
Wang Bozhao had not experienced training in this area, so he did not suffer less.
Once Wang Bozhao really couldn't stand it, Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng proposed to give Wang Bozhao a demonstration.
At the beginning of the demonstration, Wang Bozhao felt that something was wrong, Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng were too strong, and directly hit Wang Bozhao to the hospital.
When Hong Kong actors are very unequal to mainland actors, Wang Bozhao feels humiliated, thinking that he is announcing a personal vendetta in the name of demonstration.
This matter was mixed with the gossip media, and it became more and more intense, and finally evolved to the entertainment industry that everyone in the entertainment industry jointly wanted to apologize for the beating.
Zhang Weijian felt that he was at fault first, and rushed to the hospital to visit. It wasn't until a certain big guy made peace that things gradually calmed down.
In order to cover up the embarrassment, the rest of the scenes, Wang Bozhao almost took advantage of their absence from the scene.
Despite this, "Little Fish and Flowers" still received super high ratings.

This matter is just a small episode of Wang Bozhao's career, although after so many years, this experience has been forgotten by many people, but it has caused a lot of turmoil to the entertainment industry.
Today's Wang Bozhao is more of an actor as a kind of cultivation, and only by staying in "cultivating the mind" can he create more roles.
When I have time, I go to the university to teach painting as a teacher, shoot and shoot, experience life, although I am old, I can still see the shadow of the spirit of that year.
The "White Dragon Horse" Wang Bozhao also had an old day, hoping that that day would come later and escort the master to a farther place.
