Due to the influence of Xi'an Film Studio, there is a "Shaanxi circle" in the film and television industry, Huang Jianxin, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Jiayi and other big guys are the core figures in this circle, there are many star actors in this circle, and its biggest feature is that the acting skills are relatively porcelain, even the actors who mainly play supporting roles and dragon sets are also very good.
Previously, I have written about the "golden supporting role" Yang Xinming from Xi'an, that is, Li Si in the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Zhang Sanqiren", Song Ruoxuan in "Tomb Road", Professor Chen in "Jingjie Ancient City", the priest in "I am not a medicine god", and the gas station boss in "No Man's Land"... This article is going to introduce another "golden supporting role", and Yang Xinming, an actor who belongs to the Shaanxi circle like Hu Ming.
Just by saying this name, I believe that most of the audience does not know who this is, it is okay, when you see the roles he plays, you will definitely have a feeling of sudden realization: it is him!
No way, who let Hu Ming be called "a play and a face" by some audiences, not to mention that they are all supporting roles.
Hu Ming's acting career can be simply divided into four stages.
1. Nursery and Wang Dazhi's classmates
Hu Ming was born in 1979, from childhood more like literature and art, singing is also good, that is, the image is slightly worse, not tall and not good-looking, but he was still admitted to the Shaanxi Art School drama class in 1993, and the classmates in this class also include Nursery and Wang Dazhi.
The nursery and Wang Dazhi are both from an artistic family, whether they are beautiful or not, they are the heroes in the class, Hu Ming is relatively silent, it is said that he and Wang Dazhi like the class flower nursery at that time, but people dare to confess, the introverted Hu Ming can only hide behind.
Although Hu Ming's low-key luck is good, during his school days, he starred in "Journey to the West" in 1994 and "Xian Xinghai" in 1996, although they are all supporting roles, he still won a film award with the role of Xiao Shi in "Xian Xinghai", which started quite well.
However, after graduation, Hu Ming still felt that he did not have much of a future in the film and television circle, and after winning the award, there was no crew looking for him to shoot a play, which made him feel discouraged, so he chose to play music a year after graduation and became the first DJ in Xi'an, when he was 18 years old. After graduation, his classmate Nursery was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as a bachelor's degree in acting.
Second, the little in 12.1 Shooting Murder Case
Hu Ming worked as a DJ in Xi'an for 6 years, but he was not without film and television works at the same time, but few people would think that the role was played by him, which may be from the beginning of "12.1 Shooting Case", Hu Ming began his journey of "one drama and one face".
Filmed in 1998, the criminal investigation drama "12.1 Shooting Murder Case" is directed by Liu Huining of Xi'an Film Studio, the executive director is Zhang Jiayi, the protagonist actors, including supporting roles, are almost all Xi'an natives, and there is another golden supporting role Yang Xinming in the supporting role.
Hu Ming, who was 19 years old at the time, played a small Zhao Lei in the play, the role of the image in the play has a certain sense of layering, in the early stage he is a jerk, grabbing bags, theft is not evil, after being caught by the police, he dares to take the kettle and pour it on himself to resist interrogation, and his cruelty to the audience is eye-opening.
In the later period, Zhao Lei painfully changed his previous wrongs, although his temper was still not small, but he knew that he could change his mistakes, and also provided key clues for solving the case, so this role is still challenging for young actors.
Zhao Lei, played by Hu Ming, left a deep impression on the audience, on the one hand, he acted really well, and the look and acting skills made people wonder whether he was really a jerk to make a cameo, or whether the director deliberately found a small hooligan from the street. On the other hand, Zhao Lei suffered a lot in the play, and being scalded by boiling water is definitely fake, but the scene where he was hugged by the police at the train station is real, and the howls he made when he was arrested are almost realistic to the level of a documentary.
Although this role did not promote Hu Ming's personal acting career much at that time, looking back, such an excellent performance also laid a solid foundation for his future, at least directors Liu Huining and Zhang Jiayi looked at his acting skills.
3. Sun Honglei's master
In 2002, the 23-year-old Hu Ming officially made a comeback in the film and television circle, and it is said that his comeback has three reasons, breaking up with his girlfriend, failing to make music, and seeing that his classmate nursery has become a star makes him feel a little itchy.
At this time, the Shaanxi circle played a role, and Hu Ming was given the opportunity to play a supporting role in the movie "Guanzhong KnifeMan", the director of this film, Huang Jianxin and Wang Xiaolie, are both Western filmmakers, and the artistic director is Feng Xiaogang.
After filming "Guanzhong Knifeman", Wang Xiaolie recommended Hu Ming to play "Fanfu Courtyard", Sun Honglei and Nursery are the main actors, nursery classmate Hu Ming played a big dragon set Li Quan in the play, appeared in a lot but the role was very small, the biggest gain for him was to take an apprentice, Sun Honglei.
"FanFu Courtyard" filming time is very long, when there is nothing to do, Hu Ming and the lead actor Sun Honglei often play billiards together, Hu Ming used superb ball skills to beat Sun Honglei to the ground, and finally Sun Honglei simply "worshiped" Hu Ming and became the billiard apprentice of this small supporting role.
It turned out that the two plays in these two years played an extremely important role in Hu Ming's development.
Fourth, the golden supporting role in the big production
In 2004, under the recommendation of his apprentice Sun Honglei, Hu Ming starred in Xu Ke's film "Seven Swords", in which he played Xiucai, don't look at the scene is not big, but after all, this is a big production, the impact is particularly large, and after the movie is released, Hu Ming feels that "he is different".
In the past, no one looked for two or three thousand pieces of a drama, and now a drama of thirty or fifty thousand can not be filmed, his film contract is more and more, and he has also gained new love in the movie, and the actor Qian Duoduo has met and fallen in love.
In 2006, Hu Ming was recommended to another big production "Gathering Number", director Feng Xiaogang met Hu Ming in "Guanzhong Knife Rider", he knew Hu Ming's acting skills, and gave him a small role, the trumpeter Xiao Liangzi.
Xiao Liangzi's lines are only two pages in total, the highlight of which is that he told Gu Zidi the truth in front of the tombstone of the regimental commander, the original lines were spoken in Mandarin, but Hu Ming felt that Mandarin seemed to be difficult to integrate into emotions, he suggested to Feng Xiaogang to use dialects, and the highlights came.
Feng Xiaogang asked Hu Ming, "Which dialect do you think is appropriate to use?" "Hu Ming said he didn't know, but I could say a few more, and you decide."
So Hu Ming spoke the lines in Shaanxi, Henan, Northeast and Sichuan dialects, and Feng Xiaogang decided to let Xiao Liangzi speak Henan dialect in the film after listening to it. In fact, Hu Ming still speaks one less dialect, and he can also speak Beijing dialect.
Through "Seven Swords" and "The Gathering Number", Hu Ming began to be on fire in the film and television circle, invited him to star in the big productions continuously, he also proved himself with wonderful performances, but the only regret is that due to his acting skills of "one play and one face", and supporting roles, many audiences only know the role he plays, and do not know who he is.
The author cites a few big productions that the audience is familiar with, and look at Hu Ming's "those faces".
Jiang Wen's movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Hu Ming played the peddler Sun Shouyi who sold cold powder, there were not many scenes, and his face became quite fast.
In "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", Hu Ming cooperated with Feng Xiaogang again and played a small driver.
In "Ruyi Zhuan", Hu Ming plays the somewhat perverted Qianlong personal eunuch Wang Qin, a role that makes people sick, but you have to admit that the actor does act well.
"Dragon Ridge Labyrinth", Hu Ming plays Li Chunlai, a timid and fearful person, greedy for money, funny and dark-hearted complex personality small person, this role makes many viewers misunderstand, thinking that Li Chunlai is a group performance found by the director from the local area, otherwise how to act so naturally.
In the 2021 opening drama "Mountains and Seas", Hu Ming was the first to appear, playing the director Zhang Shucheng, this role is also not much, but it brings deep impressions and tears to the audience.
Wait, Hu Ming's acting career is the same as his northwest compatriot Yang Xinming, playing countless supporting roles, all wonderful, the name of the role is known to everyone, that is, his name is always ignored by the audience, probably this is the common pain point of the golden supporting role.
In fact, Hu Ming also played the main role, in the small production movie "There are eyes in the window" he played a perverted killer, but this feminine image is even more impossible to guess, this is the actor who played Xiao Liangzi, Li Chunlai, Zhang Shucheng?
