In 1999, in Feng Xiaogang's New Year blockbuster "Party A and Party B", Ge You had a classic line "The landlord's family has no surplus grain", which was said to He Bing.
At that time, Ge You was already Uncle Ge, and He Bingzhong had graduated from the drama for 8 years, and he was still a dragon runner, and after the film was released, he found that many of his shots had been deleted.
6 years later, He Bing became popular with the role of Song Ci in the CCTV drama "Great Song Ti Criminal Officer", and Lu Zilin in "White Deer Plain" in 17 years made him angry, and he won numerous awards for 30 years.
Later, he became a drama bone, and when asked why he wanted to take the middle of the drama before, he said that he was deceived.
At that time, I heard that the Chinese opera recruited people not to look at the face, he looked "bumpy", and he could only go there.
After arriving at the school, when he was filling out the name form, a handsome young man with a height of 185 pushed the door in, and he muttered in his heart, didn't he say not to look at his face? After filling out the form and leaving, two more handsome men came, and He Bing's heart was cold.
The magazine said that Nortel recruited handsome men and beautiful women, the Chinese drama did not look at the appearance of his appearance before he came, now there is no drama, go back, not willing, he will visit the campus.
It's okay if he doesn't shop, and it's even more sad to visit.
Before I could get far, I came across two young and beautiful girls, wearing tight pants on the lower body, a loose vest on the upper body, and wet hair falling crookedly.
He was stunned, and later learned that it was Gong Li and Wu Yujuan, who had just finished the physical fitness class, and later the famous big beauty in the film and television circle.
Fortunately, the Chinese opera recruits people not only to see the face, He Bing, who is not outstanding in appearance, was admitted, and the three handsome men he met when he signed up, Hu Jun, Jia Hongsheng, and Guan Hailong were all his classmates.
First, children who are not cared about have the dream of being an actor in their hearts
He Bing was born in Beijing in 1968 to a family of teachers, and although his parents both had jobs, the family was very ordinary.
At the New Year, other small partners have candy to eat, have new clothes to wear, he does not, put a cannonball has to be dismantled into one by one, are reluctant to put it all at once.
In the memory, in addition to the lack of materials in childhood, there are also the punishment of teachers and the beatings of parents.
During the class, the teacher asked him to sit with his hands behind his back, which would be the age of liveliness and activity, and he could not sit still at all, and he was often punished for standing. He was punished, he did not stop, he talked all day, the teacher transferred the girl next to him, and finally, the grades of the surrounding classmates were deviated by him.
When he first went to school, although he was mischievous, his grades were still good, and he often scored full marks. At that time, they had a paper, printed the questions of the two exams, and the parents asked for at least one 100. Once, he had a test paper with one side of the 99 and a 98 on the other, and he wanted to take it back to his parents to sign, but he did not dare, for fear of kneeling.
His parents were particularly strict with his discipline, not doing well in homework, not doing well in the exams, fighting with classmates, and not doing a good job of housework, they were beaten, and everything had to be cleaned up.
The high pressure of his parents made him confused, in order to "live better", he began to imitate the signature of his parents, and the exam was no longer burdened, but his grades were getting worse and worse.
Although his life was not satisfactory, he Bing wanted to be an actor when he was eight or nine years old and did not know what the performance was.
One year, Shangying held a party for the actors' troupe, and someone else gave him a ticket, and he went. Under the brilliant lights, the actor dressed brightly to play the piano and sing, he felt very handsome, thinking that the actor's daily life was so romantic.
That will be the vigorous development of Chinese film and television, the emergence of a lot of excellent works, looking at the pictorial Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong and other stars, he is more determined to want to be an actor.
By high school, he was very rebellious. Grades are not good, do not want to learn, sometimes pretend to go out in the morning, ride to Longtan Lake Park, sit alone by the lake for a day, thinking about their own actor dreams.
The teacher watched him mess up every day, and asked him to invite his parents, but he could not come. I felt that my parents didn't care, saying that his life was ruined.
In order to improve the promotion rate, the school got a key class, he was very poor in the test at that time, and there was still more than 300 points away from the key class admission score line, but when the class was divided, he found that the key class list had its own name. He thought he had made a mistake, so he stood at the door and did not go in, afraid that the teacher would find out and drive him to the ordinary class, which was very humiliating.
The teacher saw him standing, told him to quickly find a seat to sit, and after a week of class, no one said that the score was wrong.
He nervously asked the reason, the teacher said, your results really can not enter the key class, but because you are in the middle and high school, on behalf of the school to participate in the recitation competition, but also won the district and city awards, so you are admitted out of the box.
Although he entered the key class, He Bing was very inferior.
Most of the neighbor's children are "not good at the test", and they can also enter famous schools such as Tsinghua and Fudan, and he relies on his recitation skills to enter the key classes of the school at the doorstep.
Coupled with the high requirements of his parents and hoping that he can go to Xiehe as a doctor in the future, he knows that he is not that material, and he only wants to be an actor.
But He Bing, who has been a small chubby mound since he was a child and does not look outstanding, has never dared to tell anyone about his "daydreams", like a thief.
Second, practice your hobbies into the ability to eat
When he was in high school, he looked in the mirror all day, worried about his appearance, others said that the Chinese drama recruited people not to look at the face, he and his aunt borrowed 5 yuan, skipped school to sign up.
I went to the Chinese opera to know that he was really a "clown", fortunately, the Chinese drama did not abandon him and admitted him.
But the joy of entering the play lasted for a week, and the nightmare came.
At that time, he was admitted to a professional school with a hobby, and at the beginning he was proud of the pride of heaven, and as soon as he took class, he found that he really couldn't do anything. The voice is scattered, the speech is not right, the sound table has not been touched, and all the basic skills have to be learned one by one.
Gritting his teeth and surviving four years of nightmarish college, entering the arts in 1991, working, he thought it would be better!
As a result, he was not happy for three days, and he was greeted by a nightmare that was even more cruel than in the middle of the play.
Artists such as Renzhi, Zheng Rong, and Lin Liankun picked up the big beams, and when he first went, after watching the performances of his predecessors, he did not dare to run the dragon set on stage. After some time, I had the courage to stand at the entrance of the stage with a big gun.
That will renyi have 22 performances a month, participate in a 2.5 subsidy, but he can not perform every time, a month down, the basic salary plus various subsidies, only 99 yuan, a pound of lamb 8 yuan, simply can not eat enough.
He wanted to submit a resume and earn some extra money in other troupes, but he rode for a while, and people said politely, okay, go back and wait for the phone, but don't leave his contact information at all.
There was no way, he could only stay in the theater of renyi every day.
Get up at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, go out dirty, don't wash your face, don't brush your teeth, go to the theater to make bowls of tea, go backstage to take a hot shower, and feel like a person.
When he performed, he went on stage; before he poked a big gun, he talked to his colleagues about the mountain, watched the performances of the elders, and went back to eat a bowl of instant noodles at 10 p.m.
In an interview after becoming famous, He Bing said that he only remembered the winter of those years, which was too difficult.
Buy a pound of lamb, grab a handful at a time, cook cabbage and flatbread in a pot, it is considered to improve the food, listen to music and read books when hungry, a box of audio tapes can warm for a week, a novel, warm for half a month, really can't stay up, just cheekily go home to rub rice.
In order to pass the time and keep himself from thinking about his empty stomach, he read a lot of books. Come back from the theater, read a night of novels, sleep when sleepy, sometimes sleep all morning, sometimes sleep directly until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, ride to the theater and start running dragon sets.
Looking back, he was glad that when he was hungry and confused, he did not take a crooked road, but went to read a book, and the "White Deer Plain" that made him a fire in 17 years was what he watched at that time.
Fast forward to 92 years, once after performing "True Story on the Stage", a fat figure walked in, and he later learned that it was Indah.
The big director praised him for acting well, saying that he had the opportunity to cooperate in the future, he was only polite to others, after all, he listened to this kind of words, no one ever looked for him, or steadfast in the art of running dragon set!
In 1993, He Bing's dragon suit career went up a small step.
Huang Mao was played in the drama "Birdman", although it was only a short 7-minute performance, but his performance made the leader very satisfied, and later he was no longer arranged to run the dragon set, but began to play a small character with lines.
In the same year, he played a small role in the light comedy "I Love My Home" directed by Yingda.
After having some experience in acting and being exposed to TV dramas, he began to take small jobs everywhere and play soy sauce in various film and television dramas.
Three, dormant for ten years, overnight popularity
Four years after graduation, He Bing finally no longer worries about his livelihood, he can support himself, but still has little future, whether it is drama or film and television drama, he has been circling in small people, and Chinese opera classmates, one or two years after graduation, came out.
In 1991, Chen Xiaoyi was nominated for the Best Actress of the Feitian Awards for the TV series "Foreign Sister", and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 17th Hundred Flowers Awards in 1993 with the movie "Divorce". As soon as Jiang Shan graduated, she starred in the TV series "Love in the Rainy Season", and in 1994, she became popular all over the country because of the TV series "Addiction". Xu Fan won the 13th Plum Blossom Award, the highest award for drama, for "Ruan Lingyu" in 1995.
The excellent results of his classmates made him very anxious, at that time, he felt that God was too unfair, so he bullied him alone, and others were extremely lucky. Years later, I learned that it was normal for many actors to run the dragon set for 9 years, and he was lucky, only running for four years.
Fortunately, although he felt that it was too big to use at the time, he did not have a high eye and a low hand, and he looked down on any role, whether it was a drama or a film and television drama, playing a small character, he did his best.
Zhuge Ke in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liang Zi in "Party A and Party B", He Zhuang in "Bathing", Bai Wu in "Tube Building". Later, someone told him that he played a very good little person.
After years of groping in small roles, He Bing's acting career is also booming.
In 1999, he won the 16th Plum Blossom Award for the drama "Rain Over the Sky", and in 2001, he starred in Zhai Zhigang in "Empty Mirror", which he stopped playing soy sauce and became the main actor.
He and Xiao Tao Hong play a husband and wife, and in the play, he is a beggar, selfish, narrow-minded, gloomy, but also affectionate.
In the play, their child unfortunately miscarried, he was sad, his voice was hoarse, he spoke with a crying voice, looking at his expression, the audience pitied him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke too harshly, and people were so angry that they wanted to beat him.
Because the acting is too good, the audience directly equates the role with himself, so that others ask Xiao Taohong, in reality, He Bing is not very angry?
Director Yang Yaya praised him even more, playing Zhai Zhigang into three points. Three years later, he was invited to act in "Romantic Things", he was a low-eyed, high-minded, articulate, some small and intelligent city villain, the role was not pleasing but real grounded.
It was a popular drama in the golden file of CCTV in 2004, and this year, he also won the Plum Blossom Award again with the role of "Orphan of Zhao" mileage baby.
In 2005, he became a blockbuster, starring in "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer" became a CCTV blockbuster drama, with a rating of 7.85% in the second week, surpassing "News Network".
And this drama that made him a household name, the original choice of the lead actor is not him, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen and so on have no schedule, only to find him.
When he took over the play, he did not consider the remuneration, because he had not come down from the boat of the small person, and the first time he played the male protagonist, or the CCTV drama, he wanted to turn over.
In this play, he has a lot of lines, and there are a lot of flashback shots, but he can't flash back when shooting, and he has to go on to say that a 3-minute long shot, he has repeated it. After filming, others praised his line skills, but He Bing felt that this was nothing, he was a drama actor, and it was his duty to memorize lines.
Fourth, life, the moon and sixpence are all important
Because after the fire of "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer", he continued to make films, and in an interview, the host asked him why there were so fewer works after 2008, was it because the quality of the play was improved?
He Bing's answer was very honest, because he was poor.
When he entered the drama theater at that time, he could not support himself by running the dragon set, and after winning the plum blossom award, he still could not afford to buy a house, and later he got married and had children, and the pressure was very high, and he could only take the drama madly.
From 2001 to 2007, he shot more than 100 EPISODES every year, averaging 4-5 works a year, more than 7 Chinese New Year's Eve works, some bad dramas and good ones, and those scenes that made him out of the circle and burst into flames were filmed during this time period.
For him, acting in drama is to maintain his dreams, filming film and television dramas is to support his family, in him, the noble pursuit of performing arts, and the simple purpose of taking over the drama in order to make money, can coexist.
Although the filming is to make money, it does not mean that he is fooled, he said that decades of acting career, there will also be times of stealing and slipping, but most of them are passable, and whether it is acting in dramas or film and television dramas, it is OK, it is not OK, and there is no distinction between the two.
In the industry for more than thirty years, he has won the highest award in the industry, and in the eyes of his peers, he is an actor whose ability is greater than honor. In the face of external praise, He Bing was very sober most of the time, saying that he was qualified, exaggerated a lot, and sometimes he was shaky and clever.
Once chatted with the director Xu Ang, the other party is more than ten years younger than him, he directly came to a play of the predecessors to teach people, and when he finished "talking loudly", as soon as people opened their mouths, he was hit by dimensionality reduction.
Although Xu Ang was younger than him, he read more than him, had more knowledge than him, and thought more deeply than him, and at that time he realized that in order to make money, he had not read for a long time, but fortunately, he was good at reflection and picked up books again.
"White Deer Plain" was filmed for 9 months, he could not go home, he read "Dialogue with God", He Bing through this set of books, completed the dialogue with himself.
Capable, with grades and willing to sink his heart into learning, he got better grades.
11 years and Chen Daoming acted in the drama "The Sorrow of Comedy", the director is Xu Ang, the first day of the ticket sold 600,000 good results, the total box office of more than 10 million, a new 60 years of renyi box office record. In 2015, he starred in "Twelve Citizens" directed by Xu Ang, which won the best actor at the 18th Shanghai Film Festival.
If he had been arrogant at the time, it is estimated that these honors would have been nothing to him, but he had been hit and he had kept a lot of low profiles. When he was a guest of "Round Table Pie", he said that he had a very sense of crisis.
Now popular small fresh meat, he received obviously less film contracts, he is very afraid of which day is really eliminated, but seniority and acting skills are there, coupled with diligence and dedication, he does not worry about acting at all, often can receive good scripts.
The teenager who grew up not good-looking, fat, poor grades, and did not even dare to tell others about his dreams, carrying his own dream of being an actor, like a snail, slowly crawling, and finally reached the top of the pyramid.
Xinyue: I like words and love life.
