The popular main theme TV series "Meritorious Service" has recently caught fire, and the Douban score has a high score of 9.0. The part of the first unit Li Yannian ignited the emotions of the audience, the flames reappeared, the war was cruel, and the feelings were portrayed realistically, which was comparable to the Chinese version of "Company of Brothers".
Wang Lei once played Tong Sibo in the golden marriage, which is a soft ear that is afraid of his daughter-in-law, and in "Meritorious Service", he plays Li Yannian who is full of air pressure and pride.
Few people know that such an excellent actor is difficult to eat when he debuts.
01 Mistakenly hit and bumped into the performance profession
Born in 1982, Wang Lei, a native of Liaoning, has been influenced by the mother of a dancer since childhood, and his absorption of art is immersive. He has a strong musical sensitivity, can quickly learn a popular song, and his singing skills are also good.
As a student, he began to make a name for himself by singing, and after winning some awards in singing competitions, he soon became famous. Slowly, he also accumulated some acting experience, which gave him confidence to step into the show business circle. During the middle school entrance examination, he applied for an art school according to his strengths, hoping to develop his musical talent.
Who knows that during the interview, the teacher gave him a different way and suggested that he learn acting. Young Wang Lei, burly and handsome, singing well, changed to acting major, and was easily admitted.
But at first, he didn't have much of an understanding of acting. Born shy, he is only willing to think alone, dare not take the initiative to communicate, and it is difficult to see his generous performance on the rehearsal field. Seeing that the road to performance was becoming more and more confused, his mentor Zhou Min appeared, and Teacher Zhou felt that he was a good seedling and needed to be carefully watered, encouraging him to practice and try boldly.
Wang Lei was encouraged and began to adjust his mentality and practice privately for his own problems. I got up at 5 a.m. and practiced the basics with my throat hanging; I was still thinking about the characteristics of the characters late at night. The merits of his painstaking study laid the foundation since then, sowing the seeds for the subsequent accumulation of hair.
After the college entrance examination, Wang Lei was admitted to the Chinese opera with excellent results. When he graduated, he entered the human arts with the first place in the class and became a professional actor.
But professional actors do not necessarily have drama to play.
In fact, every actor is waiting for an opportunity in silence ...
02 The debut is blocked, and it is full of sentient drinking water
Entering the human art, Wang Lei began to appear in some dramas and continued to temper on the stage. After several years of precipitation, he received an invitation to the first TV series and had the opportunity to enter the crew of "The Big Bath Girl".
This play does not have too important drama, and his biggest gain is to meet Li Xiaomeng. A baby-faced little sister, since then, Wang Lei has had spiritual sustenance.
At first glance, this little girl from the child star has the feeling of a bird depending on people, which arouses the strong desire to protect Wang Lei, who is flesh and blood. He began to boo cold and ask for warmth, secretly sending autumn waves, constantly attracting the attention of the goddess in his heart. With the passage of time, Xiao Meng also felt Wang Lei's enthusiasm, and ripples rippled in her heart.
Once Wang Lei wanted to star in the clip, the meal prepared by the drama team was put away for a long time, and the careful Xiao Meng quietly replaced the fast box lunch, Wang Lei knew that he was very touched, and he was more determined to choose. The two young people know better, the love sinus is sincere at the beginning, and slowly becomes a real couple.
Unfortunately, this drama did not win the red King Lei, and the new film contract is far away, and he entered the ranks of unemployed youth. Because he had no money, Wang Lei rarely went out and was reluctant to contact his girlfriend.
Xiao Meng went to the door to ask for an end, but found Wang Lei nestled in a single dormitory, accompanied by only boxes of instant noodles piled up at the head of the bed. Xiao Meng instantly understood that the reason for not contacting was because Wang Lei couldn't afford to love.
The kind Xiao Meng did not blame her boyfriend, she encouraged Wang Lei, in a hurry to achieve success, the actor must be able to keep the loneliness in order to see the blossoms. She herself is a child star, she has seen too many ups and downs in the showbiz, and only with strong acting skills can she keep Shaohua.
Wang Lei was touched by his girlfriend's true feelings, he jumped up from the bed with a fish, and pulled Xiao Meng downstairs to straighten out a board inch. I intended to start from scratch, and I also made a vow with my girlfriend that I would make a name for myself in three years.
Xiao Meng is not willing to show weakness, determined to be admitted to college within three years to make up for the inferiority of no academic qualifications. Since then, the little couple has begun to go hand in hand and work hard.
In the fall of 2008, Li Xiaomeng began to prepare for the exam. Autumn is getting cooler, and it does not hinder Xiao Meng Xiong's enthusiasm for learning, she goes to study, and her boyfriend picks her up. There was no luxury car, no motorcycle, Wang Lei just rode a squeaky bicycle, shuttling through the streets of Beijing, carrying the dreams of two young people, wind and rain.
In September 2009, Xiao Meng was admitted to the Drama Academy as she wished, and those who had a heart finally returned and realized their college dreams. And Wang Lei is still tepid, and the film remuneration is struggling with the livelihood line.
03 Good actors will eventually explode
But Wang Lei did not waste, the supporting roles also worked hard, the acting skills gradually improved, and the hard work on the set attracted the attention of the director.
"Golden Marriage" Director Zheng Xiaolong after cooperating with him, felt that this guy was good, and found him to shoot two TV series, which gave Wang Lei the opportunity to play with big names, Jiang Wu, Jiang Wenli, Zhang Guoli have all partnered with him, can play with the predecessors, Wang Lei benefited a lot.
In "Spring Grass", he starred in the "He Shuiyuan" Hanging Er Lang Dang, the role is not flattering, and friends are worried that he is dragged down by the role. But Wang Lei believes that small people also have shining points, and the actor's job is to be able to shape the characters. In order to perfect the character lines, he learned idioms every day and figured out the appropriate style. In the end, he researched more than a hundred idioms suitable for He Shuiyuan for the whole play. Even Director Zheng admired his research strength and praised him for playing He Shuiyuan.
It is gold that always shines, and after that, Wang Lei has received invitations from the protagonist. Until "Fenghua Zhengmao", this drama played the great man of youth, and his superb performance won the Best Newcomer Award of the year. After three years of grinding a sword, the Wang family had a happy eyebrow, and the sunshine boy's face began to show a confident smile.
With the recognition of the audience, Wang Lei rolled up his sleeves and worked hard, and filmed more than a dozen TV series in one go. Move forward at a rate of no less than 3 works a year, while maintaining quality and quantity. In 2012, he starred in the work "The Happy Life of the Golden Wolf", which won the Best Newcomer Award for Asian Idol, and in 2015, "Ordinary World" won the Best Actor Award at the Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia.
The world will eventually make people who work hard shine, and all the efforts in front of the achievements are worth it.
04 Family business double fly
After winning the award, Wang Lei did not have the imaginary fire. He has no gossip, no topic to hype other than works.
But at that time, he was looking forward to his girlfriend's graduation. On July 5, 2013, this memorable day, Wang Lei changed his previous low profile and proposed marriage at his girlfriend's graduation ceremony, affectionate and romantic.
On October 19 of the same year, the two were married. At the wedding, under the magnesium light, the scene where the two people spent hand in hand was like a frame replay on film film. Wang Lei emotionally said the simplest vow, to be with his beloved wife forever.
Fast forward to being married for many years, and they already have sons. Today, Xiao Meng's second child is waiting to be delivered, and the two are still like glue, and the days are getting more and more fiery.
Xiao Meng has slowly faded out of the familiar crew, Wang Lei understands his wife's dedication to the family, and he is willing to shoulder the burden of life. Promise XiaoMeng that I am willing to be your director, and you will always be the heroine of my play. This domineering wish is a pampering of my beloved wife, and I understand your dreams, and at any time, you are still the brightest star in my eyes.
In 2021, "Meritorious Service" began broadcasting, and Wang Lei, who played Li Yannian, was no longer silent. In the play, the 16-minute lecture, roaring like a male teacher, will explode all the energy accumulated in the past, so that the audience remembers this quite infectious actor.
An actor who has built a good career and family life together, in the colorful life of the showbiz, he has stepped out of his own style.
Wang Lei, the past is good, the future can be expected.
