In the performing arts world, there is an old artist with the same name as Zhao Benshan, named Wei Zongwan, who together has the reputation of "Northern Zhao and Southern Wei". His classic roles include Gao Li in "Water Margin", Sima Yi in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wei Biao, the bandit leader in "Xiangxi Bandits", and so on. This old drama bone of Shanghainese art, who played the banditry of these bad guys to the fullest, is a real powerful actor.
In the play, Wei Zongwan is a veritable big bad, but in life it is just the opposite. There are many stories about his acting, and one detail is still praised today. Wei Zongwan is a person with a habit of cleanliness and loves cleanliness very much in life. But as an actor, you can't avoid some very dirty bad situations. In 1986, Wei Zongwan wanted to play a Role of the Yi nationality, when the clothes were taken off from a Yi compatriot on the Liangshan Mountain, just a simple disinfection, Wei Zongwan put it on. Just as in "The Chronicle of Sanmao From the Army", Wei Zongwan did not hesitate to lie down in the dirty places, regardless of the mud on his face. A person with a habit of cleanliness will understand how much he has to give!
Not only that, Wei Zongwan's life was very humorous. When he was in his 70s, he went to Shandong to shoot a drama, which was the hot summer. The staff said: "We don't have air conditioning, we have a fan. Wei Zongwan smiled and said, "What I want is an electric fan." "One sentence amused everyone. At that time, Wei Zongwan needed to change his clothes, but there were only two changing rooms in the place at that time. He knocked on the first door, and inside it came out "Changing clothes"; at the second door, he heard "Changing clothes". Wei Zongwan moved a stool and sat down at the top of the stairs, saying, "This house has changed clothes, and the other room has also changed clothes, there are too many women." The circle couldn't help but laugh.
To say whether Wei Zongwan is a perfect man in his life, we must ask his wife Zhou Weiming's evaluation. They first met in 1965. At that time, Zhou Weiming had just divorced, and he was 6 years older than Wei Zongwan. Wei Zongwan accompanied Zhou Weiming every day and enlightened her. Because of his natural humor, he gradually made the two people feel emotional. In 1969, the two received a marriage license and are very happy to this day.
Zhou Weiming has a daughter with her ex-husband. For this daughter, Wei Zongwan was very affectionate and said, "You have to call your father more, don't care why they were separated at that time, your affection with your father cannot be forgotten." After Zhou Weiming knew, he was very touched and asked, "Aren't you jealous?" Wei Zongwan said, "Even if you drink coffee and chat with your ex-husband, it is normal." Zhou Weiming immediately became serious: "Say what?" "But the heart is sweet.
Filmed for decades, the fame is getting bigger and bigger, and it also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 13th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film. He invested all his money in improving his family's conditions, buying several properties and moving several times. But none of the names on all the real estate deeds were Wei Zongwan, but his wife and two daughters. The two daughters disagreed, but Wei Zongwan secretly submitted his name and said, "I was a tenant in your mother's house, and since then, I have been willing to be her tenant for the rest of my life." "Today, Wei Zongwan is 79 years old, although he has retired, he still spends most of his time shooting across the country, which is really old and strong, which is admirable!
