"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, the iron mask selflessly distinguishes between loyalty and adultery, the jianghu Haojie comes to help, and Wang Chao and MaHan are around", whenever I hear this song, I think of Bao Qingtian.
When you think of "Bao Qingtian", who do you think of? Many people will think of such a face: the image of Jin Chaoqun with dark skin, crescent moon between the foreheads, and selfless iron face.

Like Sun Wukong, a six-year-old child, Jin Chaoqun has become synonymous with Bao Qingtian, and the Bao Zheng he plays is just and righteous, and the case is like a god, which has left a deep impression on many people.
Unlike many actors who have played classic roles, Jin Chaoqun, who played Bao Qingtian, has almost disappeared from the public eye over the years, and even rumored the news of his death at one time.
So, where has he been all these years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
In 1951, Jin Chaoqun was born in Taiwan, and when he was born, he was white and tender, very cute, and was regarded by his family as "Fuwa".
He did not know that years later, the white and fat that his parents liked would be known as "black".
After graduating from high school, Jin Chaoqun, who looks like Zhou Zheng, chose a different path from his peers and studied acting. Because he liked the stage and wanted to act, he ignored the persuasion of others and resolutely chose the film and drama department.
Since the age of 18, Jin Chaoqun has participated in various stage performances, serving as an actor, director, stage supervisor and other positions; he has also worked as a film actor and assistant director.
Despite his decent appearance and tall stature, Jin Chaoqun at that time was not favored by the director, and even if he played the role, he was also a small role of villains and dragon runners, and did not leave an impression.
"Do you want to keep acting?" People often ask this question of Jin Chaoqun, who is not popular.
With bad luck, he once had no money to go home for the New Year, and the friends who broke into the entertainment circle together gradually left and found a new way out.
But in Jin Chaoqun's view, acting needs ingenuity, and it needs to polish his acting skills, not a one-time thing, so in the face of criticism, he still insists on his choice and does not regret his choice.
Finally, at the age of 42, he waited for the role of "Bao Qingtian" that he was destined to play.
At that time, the director team found someone to play the role of "Bao Qingtian", but Zhu Yu was in front, and many people did not dare to take this scene, for fear of smashing the performance.
Jin Chaoqun is not afraid of losing, because he has nothing to lose, so he volunteered to play the role of "Bao Qingtian".
When he dressed up as "Bao Zheng", others exclaimed that he was the Bao Qingtian himself.

After deciding to play this role, Jin Chaoqun read a lot of books, read and Bao Zheng's related historical materials, and then went deep into the heart of the character.
At that time, Jin Chaoqun was not fat, tall and thin; he felt that his body shape was too thin, and Bao Zheng should be fatter to be perfect. In order to better shape the role, Jin Chaoqun also specially went to fattening. At that time, he was 42 years old, and gaining weight also brought health problems for him.
Because of his intentions, he finally achieved a solemn and majestic, intelligent and upright image of Bao Gong, and his starring role in "Bao Qingtian" became an epoch-making classic film and television work in the early 1990s.
Jin Chaoqun became an overnight celebrity and became a model of justice in people's hearts, so he won the Best Actor Award at the 1995 Taiwan Radio and Television Golden Bell Awards.
After winning the award, Jin Chaoqun mentioned his fate with "Bao Gong" in an interview:
"No one dared to play the role of Bao Gong, before it was made into a TV series, some people had already acted very well, and no one dared to challenge it at that time." But everything is not afraid of death, I am one. ”
This is his own spirit of daring to be the first to achieve a classic.
What's even more unexpected is that Kim Chao-qun abstained from sex during filming in order to respect the character, so he laughed and said, "I was still a young boy at the time!" ”
Why say abstinence, because at that time Jin Chaoqun was just married, in order to shoot the role of "Bao Gong", soaked in the crew for a long time, the wife was reluctant to Jin Chaoqun, simply with the pot and bowl in the crew to accompany, the newlywed Yan'er's little couple only had time to eat together during the day every day.
After the theme of "Bao Gong" became famous, there were many related works in the film and television market, such as "Young Bao Qingtian".
After Jin Chaoqun saw the teenager Bao Zheng played by Zhou Jie, he felt that he did not perform the essence of Bao Zheng:
"The Bao Gong there almost didn't dance, is this like words?" I watched it blow up! Bao Zheng was in his 30s when he was an official, and he would do those things, it was simply blind. ”
Some people say that Jin Chaoqun has a very high self-esteem and regards bao Zheng, who he plays, as an orthodox version; in fact, this also shows from the side that Jin Chaoqun has a profound grasp of the character and knows the life of the character very well. Since starring in "Bao Qingtian" and becoming famous, Jin Chaoqun has a dream, that is, to play Bao Zheng for 1,000 episodes.
For this dream, in 2010, Jin Chaoqun spent all his savings to establish a "Super Group Film and Television City" in Qingdao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
Having starred in more than 700 episodes of Bao Zheng, Jin Chaoqun once said that not only did he like this role, but also because the characteristics of Bao Zheng's character have a value-oriented role for contemporary people, he would want to continue to act.
Jin Chaoqun, who is successful in his career, is inseparable from the dedication of the woman behind him, and this woman is his wife Chen Qi.
Chen Qi was originally a nurse, and later turned to an actor, in many plays they have cooperated, Chen Qi has played Jin Chaoqun's wife, divorced spouse and other roles in the play.
Especially in "Bao Qingtian's Pang Concubine Youxi", the role of Pang Guifei, played by his wife Chen Qi, was interrogated by her husband Bao Qingtian, which is deeply memorable.
The two people met each other in the play and finally decided to be together. However, Jin Chaoqun is 23 years older than Chen Qi, and such an old and young love was once not favored.
At that time, Chen Qi's father strongly opposed his daughter's marriage to the actor, bent on breaking them up, and said to his daughter before marriage: "Your marriage is only three years." And many years later, the two are still in love as ever, and there is no gossip.
When Jin Chaoqun was most popular, he had a dispute with the brokerage company and resigned, "Zhan Zhao" He Jia vigorously supported, and as a result, both of them were banned by the brokerage company, and finally switched to the mainland, but just when he was ready to show his fists, his body lit up with a red light.
In 2016, while performing in Bangkok, Thailand, Jin Chaoqun suddenly lost his voice and was diagnosed with a brain tumor after examination.
After craniotomy, 10 cm of the tumor is finally removed. After the operation, the height was reduced from 180 cm to 175 cm, and the weight was reduced to 96.5 kg.
Before the operation, Jin Chaoqun once said to his wife: "If I die, you can remarry, but don't look for a little white face, otherwise I will not be willing." ”
After gradually recovering, Jin Chaoqun began to act again. In his mind, there is a suitable "Bao Zheng successor" - Fan Weiqi's husband "black" Chen Jianzhou.
In addition to his dark complexion, Jin Chaoqun believes that he has a sense of justice and is right.
No matter who can play the role of "Bao Qingtian" again in the future, Jin Chaoqun is still the just and upright Bao Gong in people's hearts.
