In the recent hit drama, Sun Xing in "Sweeping Black Storm" is definitely the most feared villain.
The uncertain smile coupled with the fierce and cruel means can make the audience's back chill even across the screen.
The actor Wu Xiaoliang, who played this role, was also well known to more audiences, and many netizens ran to Wu Xiaoliang's social page, saying that they were about to die of Sun Xingqi, and even more when they met Wu Xiaoliang in the gym, they directly called him "Xingge".
Although he played a villain in the play, Wu Xiaoliang in real life is a literary and artistic youth who does not talk too much.
After 17 years in the industry, he played the male lead in the 14th year, and his acting career was as low-key as his own.
He has won the film emperor and has also been praised for his acting skills, but even so, not many people still remember his name.
Today, I will tell you the story of this low-key powerful film emperor Wu Xiaoliang.
In 1985, Wu Xiaoliang was born in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, with single eyelids and a pointed chin, and he has a unique Mongolian appearance.
His father was a lawyer and his mother was an ordinary worker, although neither of his parents engaged in literary and artistic work, Wu Xiaoliang was very interested in music since he was a child.
In that era of rock and roll, having his own band and becoming a rock star like Dou Wei was Wu Xiaoliang's buried dream.
At first, his mother did not agree to buy him an instrument, coaxing him to say that he could earn money to buy it when he grew up, but Wu Xiaoliang told his mother that although he could make money to buy it in the future, he might not want to play when he grew up.
The mother thought about it again and again, thinking that her son had a point, so she agreed to buy him an instrument.
At the age of 16, Wu Xiaoliang formed his first band and served as the lead singer, fortunately, he did not treat the music as a 3-minute heat, but seriously insisted on it.
Until the age of 18, Wu Xiaoliang was admitted to the Central Institute for Nationalities majoring in composition with excellent results.
During college, Wu Xiaoliang often used his spare time to go to the bar to stay, first, to reduce the burden on the family, and second, to accumulate experience and fame for himself.
Maybe by sticking to it, Wu Xiaoliang will become a popular resident singer, but fate changed one day in 2004.
On this day, Wu Xiaoliang carried the guitar to the bar as usual, and a film director on the stage looked at Wu Xiaoliang, who was singing, and felt that he was very close to the film role he had recently prepared, so he invited him to the crew to audition.
Although Wu Xiaoliang did not have any acting experience, the audition was surprisingly smooth.
In this way, Wu Xiaoliang starred in his first film "Dancing Without Music", which won the Chinese Film Huabiao Award a year after the film was broadcast, and Wu Xiaoliang was also deeply loved by the director and starred in his second film "Adolescence".
Just by mistake, Wu Xiaoliang crossed from the music circle to the film and television circle.
In the next few years, Wu Xiaoliang shuttled through different crews, youth dramas, war dramas, urban emotional dramas, costume suspense dramas, and all different types of roles were tried by him.
Although most of the actors played in the play are supporting roles, he can still show his superb acting skills in a few shots, and each performance can not only be recognized by the audience, but also recognized by the same crew actors and directors.
Because Wu Xiaoliang and Huang Xuan became good friends during filming, on the day of Huang Xuan's TV series "Muyun on the Sea", Wu Xiaoliang deliberately went to the crew to visit the class, but he did not expect to be caught by the director Cao Dun on the scene.
In this way, Wu Xiaoliang had the opportunity to play the role of Cao Shaoyan in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and it was this role that made Wu Xiaoliang really catch fire.
In 2018, Wu Xiaoliang, who has been a supporting role for 14 years, starred in his first male lead drama "Under the Sun", and won the Best Actor Award at the 4th Macao International Film Festival "New Chinese Image" for this film.
Although he became a movie emperor, due to the lack of public in the movie, his attention was still not high, until the role of Sun Xing in "Sweeping Black Storm" 3 years later, let everyone really see him.
Wu Xiaoliang has a distinctive face, but he can achieve a thousand faces in the play, and many people lament that Cao Baoyan in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is actually Sun Xing in "Sweeping The Black Storm".
However, he did not find that in the movies "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "The Wandering Earth", Wu Xiaoliang had also appeared on camera.
Even if the scenes are not much, he still takes it seriously, and when filming "Embroidery Spring Knife", because the character's weapon is a 170-centimeter wolf's tooth stick, he insisted on practicing with a 20-kilogram physical wooden stick before filming began.
Asked what to do if he was injured while filming, he replied
"If you don't carry it into the hospital, you don't get injured."
When filming "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the final fight scene made him fall directly to the cervical spine and injured, but even so, he only thought that this was the actor's job.
Dedicated but low-key, this is Wu Xiaoliang's biggest advantage as an actor.
Maybe it's like his name, no one knows but insists on shining.
I hope that such a good actor can be known by more people, the film emperor Wu Xiaoliang, look forward to your more good works!
