In 2015, a fan of "Ghost Blowing Lights" posted: "Why is Wang Kaixuan not Jiang Chao? And analyzed that Jiang Chao's small eyes and military breath are most suitable for the role of Wang Kaixuan.
It's as if there's an induction in the darkness. In 2020, the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series was broadcast, and Wang Kaixuan, played by Jiang Chao, was called the "Wang FatZi" who was most in line with the original work. In the popular "Yunnan Worm Valley", the audience's acting skills rating to Jiang Chao is the highest in the tomb robber trio, surpassing Pan Yueming and Zhang Yuqi.
Before mentioning the name Jiang Chao, many people will feel strange. But when it comes to "Li Dazui", even people who have not seen "The Tale of Wulin" can basically match the number.
17-year-old stepped into the film and television circle, the late success of the big instrument, 30 years old because of "Li Dazui" is well known to everyone, now 45-year-old he relies on "Wang Fatzi" to turn popular, what has Jiang Chao experienced in these years?
01
In 1975, in the air force compound of Changchun City, Jilin Province, the Jiang family ushered in a big fat boy, named Jiang Chao. Jiang's father and mother are all soldiers, busy with work on weekdays, when Jiang Chao lived with his grandmother when he was a child, he spent a carefree childhood.
In 1988, Jiang Chao moved to Dalian with his parents. Four years later, at the age of 17, he was admitted to the cadet class of the Air Force Political Drama Troupe and became a literary and artistic soldier.
In the year of entering the repertory theatre, Jiang Chao was very lucky to receive a role - the "renegade general" Wei Xu in the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This was the beginning of his acting career, and although there were not many scenes, Jiang Chao still experienced the joy of being an actor. Unexpectedly, after this, he ushered in a 7-year long dragon set career.
In order to make money to make a living, Jiang Chao took in the dubbing work while doing miscellaneous work at the "bottom" of the crew, and occasionally he could run a dragon set, and the future was very slim. In those seven years, Jiang Chao did almost all the trades in the crew, and when he did whatever he did, he did whatever he wanted: "It's okay to open the water, it's okay to have a hot box lunch, and it's lucky to be able to give me the opportunity to learn." ”
Once the crew was filming on the mountain, and everyone was preparing to eat after returning from work, when they suddenly found that a section of the track had fallen into the mountain. Jiang Chao, who was in charge of carrying the track, ran a 40-minute mountain road to get it. When he returned to the crew, he found that the people had not even left him a meal, only one person handed him half a steamed bun leftover.
Even if he didn't wait for the opportunity to act, he still thanked God for giving him the opportunity to "wait".
In 1999, Jiang Chao finally waited for his Bole - director Shang Jing. At that time, the Air Politics Repertory Theatre was preparing to shoot a large-scale drama "Wings of Peace", in which an important role "Black Tower" was originally scheduled to be played by Hong Jiantao, but he could not participate in it for various reasons, and the opportunity came to Jiang Chao unexpectedly.
This role spans from 19 years old to 70 years old, and Jiang Chao was only 23 years old at the time and had no acting experience, which was undoubtedly a big challenge for him. Someone proposed to change the experienced person to play, but Shang Jing insisted on watching the rehearsal before deciding.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Jiang Chao was under a lot of pressure and insomnia all night long. In the end, he explored a set of methods, thanks to the previous dubbing experience, he first used his voice to find the role, and the vicissitudes of the old man's speech came out, and the shape of the body was also about to come out. After watching the rehearsal, Shang Jing was very satisfied, and this time, Jiang Chao finally became an actor in the true sense.

In 2001, director Shang Jing planned to make a military sitcom, so he went to the Air Politics Repertory Theatre to see who was available. At that time, most of the people in the troupe went to shoot dramas, and just a few of them were left, and the "cooking class five-person group" was so fixed.
Once "The Story of the Cooking Class" was broadcast, it was deeply loved by the vast number of people. This is "Little Ginger"'s first contact with comedy, and it is also his first appearance in the circle. Fortunately, this time his acting career did not stop there.
One day near the end of filming, the director sat there on the scene, suddenly stared at Jiang Chao and said: "You play Li Dazui, and you gain weight immediately after filming this play." ”
In order to perform "The Legend of Wulin", Jiang Chao went back to eat a meal of Hesai, which gained 30 pounds. And Sha Yi is the opposite of him and needs to lose weight. When the crew was eating, they saw Sha Yi pitifully serving a plate of dishes, and Jiang Chao filled the bowl with 8 meatballs in one breath. Sha Yi did push-ups on the grass outside, and Jiang Chao took a cup of milk tea through the window while drinking and watching.
Kung Fu pays off. "The Tale of Wulin" has become the pinnacle of domestic sitcoms, and Li Dazui, who has a wide heart and a fat body, has become synonymous with Jiang Chao. When he found out that he was watching and taking pictures when he went out to eat, he realized that he was really on fire, and he was exactly 30 years old that year.
I just didn't expect that it would be difficult to climb to the top, but the downhill road would come so quickly. Since playing "Li Dazui", Jiang Chao has tried many roles, but he has not been discouraged and has gradually become a golden supporting role.
In contrast, the other leading actors in "The Legend of Wulin" are developing well. Jiang Chao looked at this very openly, he felt that those excellent actors were not natural if they were not hot, compared with others, they were at the bottom of the well, and the first thing to do was to climb to the ground.
Jiang Chao is a contented person. He always recalls the hard days of doing miscellaneous work in the crew, compared to that time, now some people call him "Teacher Jiang" and let him pick a role, as long as there is a scene, he is very satisfied.
For the body always has the label of "Li Dazui", Jiang Chao feels that it is not easy to become a label, as for how to break through it, it depends on chance, but also rely on cultivation. It is because of this label that he has the opportunity to contact other characters later. Among them, including the role of "Wang FatZi" in "Ghost Blowing Lights", and he signed 5 at once.

At the age of 45, Jiang Chao became popular again because of "Wang Fatzi".
Fortunately, like Jiang Chao, Wang Fatzi is also a disciple of the army. Coincidentally, like Wang Fatzi, Jiang Chao is also particularly afraid of heights.
The director said that Jiang Chao's dedication touched him, such a person who was "three meters of excitement, five meters of fainting, and seven meters of playing for his life" had to overcome his fear of heights and shoot a large number of action scenes that needed to hang Weiya. "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth" was filmed for 97 days, and at least 10 hours a day rotated continuously, almost killing him half a life.
In the play, he and Pan Yueming are very tacitly understood. The two worked together more than twenty years ago, when they were still middle school students. After so many years, there has been no contact, so the buddy love between the two people in the play is particularly right.
Looking back at so many years, most of Jiang Chao's interpretations are small people. He said that he was originally a small person in life, which was quite appropriate. There are no little people, only small actors. Jiang Chao used these years of experience on Wang Fatzi, making this role grounded and more real and cute of the little people.
In real life, Jiang Chao is a "three good men", for whom family is always more important than career. Before meeting his wife, Zhang Xuan, he was a "difficult family to get married": in the six years between the ages of 23 and 28, he went on 20 blind dates to find the right person.
He has never rejected blind dates, and he laughs that this is the only way for him to find a lover. The first 19 blind dates, basically once we met, we failed. Until the 20th time I saw Zhang Xuan, I felt right, the two hit it off, and the third time they met, they began to think about what color to choose for the furniture after the home.
Like Jiang Chao, his wife Zhang Xuan is also a contented person and very good at taking care of people. When the two first met, Jiang Chao had no money and lived in a 6-square-meter house enclosed by the wall, but Zhang Xuan never looked at these things.
The two went to register their marriage on the day they made a joke. That day, they ran to the Xicheng District Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning, and as a result, they were stupid when they entered the door, and there were people everywhere. Jiang Chao muttered in his heart, is it because there are many people getting married in time for Christmas?
Later, it turned out that these people did not seem to have come to register, or there were still individuals left. So Jiang Chao asked, where is the queue. People say it's a talent market, you can stay wherever you want. It turned out that the two of them had entered the right gate, but they had gone to the wrong place.
On the day of the wedding, Jiang Chao said to find a decent car, but was stopped by his wife Zhang Xuan: "Why do you have to trouble people when you find a car?" In this way, when we go out and see the red car, we will wave, and we will take which one we hit. ”
So the two of them went out and reached out, and a red Fukang stopped in front of them. The driver was shocked to see the two men in their dresses and asked them where they were going. After hearing them say that they were going to get married, the driver was surprised: "You will take my car?" After hearing the reason, he blushed: "I'm really sorry, you see my car." "The couple didn't care, but they thought it was too interesting.
Whether it is for career or life, knowing "small satisfaction" is the biggest advantage in Jiang Chao's personality. He compares himself to a snail that climbs slowly but will one day climb to the finish line. As Jay Chou sang in "Snail": "I want to climb up step by step, fly up on the blade at the highest point, let the wind blow through the tears and sweat, and one day I have my own day." ”
