Meng Haoqiang's resignation as "First Secretary" challenged deputy secretary with mixed feelings
The start-up of the TV series "Live Up to the People" not only fits the current environment, but also makes the audience full of expectations. The main creators of the scene also shared emotionally, Meng Haoqiang was wearing a white shirt, fresh and clean, short hair with micro-curls, and a serious look.
Lingshan County in "Living Up to the People" is a remote hill town with abundant resources but inconvenient transportation. As with many poor mountain towns in China. There are also some conspicuous problems in the poverty alleviation work in Lingshan County: ideological disunity, misplaced views on political achievements, inadequate assistance, non-implementation of responsibilities, backward concepts of the masses, and preferential treatment of relatives and friends. The poverty alleviation process of Lingshan County in the play is the epitome of many poverty-stricken counties in China. In the final battle of poverty alleviation, Meng Haoqiang played Yang Shuguang, deputy secretary of the county party committee, which was his second interpretation of the image of the secretary after "Maple Leaf Red", and Meng Haoqiang said bluntly at the scene: This secretary is a bit on top. Asked why he smiled and said nothing, creating a sense of mystery in the character that makes people look forward to "Living Up to the People".
Meng Haoqiang, who graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, has cooperated with well-known artists such as Liu Tao, Qiao Zhenyu, and Sun Honglei. In 2016, by chance, Meng Haoqiang participated in the filming of the famous director Haschaolu TV series "Northern Land", playing the male number two Muren in the play, and cooperating with famous actors Zhang Guoqiang, Yan Danchen and other partners. Nearly 100 days of hard shooting, a young man with a warm and open nature, tempered more calm and peaceful. In 2017, "Northern Land" was broadcast during the two sessions. Meng Haoqiang presented everyone with a calm and introverted, gentle and moralistic Inner Mongolian boy Mu ren, who won the love of the public and also won the appreciation and point of director Haas Chaolu.

"Maple Leaf Red" is a hit, and Meng Haoqiang and the character are more "true" to each other
In June 2019, Haschaolu invited Meng Haoqiang to play the male number one "poverty alleviation secretary" Han Li in the CCTV poverty alleviation drama "Maple Leaf Red". In the play, Meng Haoqiang transforms from the inside out into a village secretary full of "earthy atmosphere". Build roads, raise cattle, plant sea buckthorn, plant rice, and lead the villagers to the last mile of poverty alleviation! Meng Haoqiang has perfectly created the image of a poverty alleviation secretary who cares about the people and works hard. The ratings of the drama continued to rise as soon as it began broadcasting, and it achieved the first good result in ratings in the northwest, north China and other regions.
In order to be able to devote himself to Han Li's character creation, Meng Haoqiang did not take on other plays for a whole year, and he poured too much effort into this role, and even for a long time he could not completely withdraw from the role. But for all this, Meng Haoqiang is willing, in his view, "the actor is ultimately a "true" word, truly believe in his role, sincerely treat his performance, will definitely be able to get the affirmation of the audience." Most of the time, actors need to have this kind of momentum to fight with the character, and finally to achieve mutual fulfillment.

In the entertainment environment of "traffic is king" in recent years, Meng Haoqiang has always been loyal to the "heart of the actor". In his view, an actor who obtains the satisfaction and happiness of spiritual value by playing a character is the happiest. Playing Yang Shuguang, deputy secretary of the county party committee, this time is also a rare opportunity and challenge, and the new role interpretation is worth looking forward to.
Remarkable achievements have been made since the introduction of poverty alleviation policies by the state. As a film and television practitioner, Meng Haoqiang feels that through a personal character story and a poverty alleviation story, everyone can more intuitively perceive the development process of china's remote areas.
2020 is the decisive year of poverty alleviation, in the context of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the theme of "poverty alleviation" has become the focus of the drama market, and it is expected that a number of key TV series with related themes will be launched and broadcast this year. Yang Shuguang, deputy secretary of the county party committee played by Meng Haoqiang, will have a wonderful performance in "Living up to the people", please continue to pay attention to it.
