Weizi, an old opera player, is such a powerful actor, and the audience will be very familiar with his plays, such as Iron Pear and Dog Stick.
After more than 30 years of debut, Weizi left many classic roles on the screen. But as wonderful as his TV series, the real drama is like life.
0 1
Weizi (Wang Wei), 1956 was born in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
Having a pair of parents who are government officials is beyond the envy of many people.
A happy family supports Weizi's happy childhood. Under the exercise of various sports, Weizi became a small athlete. In skating, Weizi was gifted and won the championship in Ningxia Autonomous Region.
This happy life lasted until Weizi was twelve years old. The arrival of a special period ended the happiness of this family and Weizi and his younger brother.
Parents have become targets of attack. Faced with a life far from the past, Weizi is full of resentment.
Once, Weizi rushed to his father's unit with a knife and asked him why he treated his father like this. Such a strong-willed child is bound to make more impulsive moves in the future.
1973, 17-year-old Weizi was also facing a change of thought in the countryside and was assigned to a place called Yangjiazhai.
Weizi grew up in the city and couldn't stand the wind and the sun in the countryside.
If you can't cook well, you can't eat well. At that time, rice, oil and salt were all exchanged with tickets, and tickets needed work points.
Therefore, Weizi, who can't do farm work at all, often faces the situation of not having enough to eat.
"Big pot rice" pays attention to the average score, but there are always people who don't obey the rules and take more when eating. Weizi, a young man, often quarreled with others about it.
17-year-old boy is an important period of growth and development. Not only that, boys of this age are also the most daring and muddy.
In order to fill their stomachs, Weizi and some boys of the same age went to the local farmers' fields in the middle of the night to steal things, some vegetables, some eggs and sometimes even chickens. In short, what they can steal is what they can steal.
When he returned to the city, people who behaved badly like Weizi naturally couldn't walk. Seeing the familiar people around him leaving one by one, Weizi finally got nervous and began to behave well and work actively.
It's two years in a flash. Weizi has worked hard for a year to earn performance marks, but he has never seen any news that he has returned to this city.
02
Weizi was desperate. It seems that he can only stay in the countryside in his life.
But at this moment, the opportunity to return to the city appeared.
The news of Ningxia Normal University's enrollment reached Weizi's ears.
September 1976 Weizi was admitted to the Art Department of Ningxia Normal University.
/kloc-graduated from 0/978 and was assigned to Ningxia Repertory Theatre.
Everyone in the drama troupe is very talented. People like Weizi, who have no advantages in image and temperament, can only play a walk-on role, and this performance lasts for nine years.
In these nine years, Weizi didn't see any hope in the group, but in this case, Weizi got married.
Shortly after entering the drama troupe, Weizi met Xia Liyan, a colleague who works in the troupe. Xia Liyan is outstanding in appearance, strong in business ability and numerous in pursuers. Weizi, by contrast, wants nothing.
But even so, Xia Liyan still has a good impression on Weizi, especially his frank and generous personality. Even though two people don't spend much time together in the group, the strong attraction still brings them together.
In this way, from falling in love to determining the relationship and then getting married, the progress between two people is very fast, for fear of missing each other.
The bleak future can't stop two loving hearts. Even Weizi's parents said that his job was not as good as that of a cleaner, so Xia Liyan followed him without hesitation.
In this way, the two young people established a warm little home in the staff dormitory and lived a dull life.
Shortly after their marriage, Weizi and his wife ushered in the crystallization of their love, named Wang Ziyi.
With the birth of his son, Weizi was more dissatisfied with the walk-on life in the group and longed for a better life for his wife and children.
03
1985, Weizi finally got the chance.
The Central Academy of Drama enrolled students in the group, and Weizi signed up for the exam. Years of walk-on experience has greatly exercised his acting skills.
Rich stage experience and acting skills finally enabled Weizi to pass the test and successfully enter the Chinese Opera.
This trip to Beijing is thousands of kilometers away from Beijing, and Weizi is facing the problem of separation from his wife and son.
For the future development, his wife Xia Liyan supported Weizi's decision to study in Beijing, while he and his son chose to stay in Ningxia Repertory Theatre.
With his wife's expectation, Weizi came to Beijing.
After entering Chinese Opera, Weizi began to study acting seriously, and spent almost all his time in the library and rehearsal room except for professional courses.
After four years of study, Weizi's acting skills have been greatly improved.
When he graduated, Weizi also got a chance to become famous.
This year's Chronicle of Sang Shuping was selected for graduation performance. Although Weizi didn't win the leading role, he still played an impressive role.
With this performance, Weizi attracted the attention of the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and was invited to the art world, which many people dream of.
1989, Weizi walked into the humanities and stood on a platform that made him have a bright future.
Later, Weizi won the Plum Blossom Award for her performance in Sangshuping Chronicle, which gave Weizi a chance to appear in the first film "Ballad of the Yellow River".
04
But Weizi thought of his wife and son who were far away in Ningxia, and came up with the idea of returning to Ningxia.
In order to retain talents, Renyi helped solve the problem of Weizi's wife's job and arranged a house for Weizi.
So, a family of three finally reunited in Beijing.
The TV series "Love the Pearl River" is Weizi's famous work, but the performance opportunity of this drama is hard-won.
In those days, if an actor wanted to make a film, he had to get the opinion of his unit. Every time the producer finds Weizi, Weizi can't go.
After several twists and turns, Weizi was allowed to participate in the Pearl River.
This incident became the fuse of Weizi's later departure from human arts.
Once Love the Pearl River was broadcast, Weizi's popularity rose rapidly.
At the beginning, the hero of this TV series was not Chen, but Chen, the first-line big name at that time, and was finally selected because of salary problems.
But in the end, his acting skills conquered everyone and became a memorable hero "Lin" in the eyes of the audience.
The tough image and solid acting skills made people remember this actor at once, and Weizi became one of the most popular actors of the year.
Because going out to play always requires an application, this rule is too cumbersome and depressing for Weizi.
Therefore, 1992, Weizi made a bold decision-to resign from Renyi.
As soon as this decision came out, my friends around me, including my wife, said that apart from opposing it, it would be crazy to lose the iron rice bowl like Renyi.
However, Weizi has made up his mind that no one can stop him, so he left Renyi.
After leaving Renyi, Weizi began to go it alone, moving around in various crews, and produced a series of excellent works, such as the film Rebellion in Heaven and Conqueror, which all achieved good results.
Among them, with the movie Jiang Zhuying, Weizi was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
05
The decision to leave Renyi has caused problems between his wife and Weizi, and Weizi is busy going out to film, so there is little time for communication between husband and wife.
Gradually, the contradiction between husband and wife broke out in all aspects, but they didn't even quarrel with each other and entered silence with each other.
Finally, in 1995, Weizi and Xia Liyan finally divorced.
After the divorce, Weizi chose to run away from home, leaving all his savings to Xia Liyan and his son Wang Ziyi.
After the divorce, Weizi continued to develop his acting career, and appeared in several TV series in succession, completely breaking away from the situation that he had time but could not apply for a play.
Weizi's interpretation of the role of "Yue Buqun" in the TV series "the legendary swordsman" has become a classic. The badness and sadness of this role have evolved into the audience's mind by Weizi, who has excellent acting skills, and Weizi has also become synonymous with strength.
Two years later, Weizi and Shi Lanya met in a hundred years of wind and rain.
Shi Lanya is also a talented artist with good acting skills. Later, they starred in The Vicissitudes of Shanghai together.
After constant contact, the two began to get very close, and gradually, Weizi and Shi Lanya struck a spark of love.
However, Weizi's personality is stubborn and has some male chauvinism, while Shi Lanya is also a woman with thoughts and personality.
Therefore, in the love of two people, there are always irreconcilable contradictions. This five-year relationship ended in breaking up.
06
Without emotional troubles, Weizi actively turned his attention back to his career.
Once the TV series "Iron Pear Flower" was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic. Weizi played the warlord brilliantly, which is a role that the audience will not hate.
After that, "Dog Stick" let the audience see that Weizi, an actor who plays with his heart, has become an old play bone of the people.
Later, people saw Weizi's son on the big screen.
Wang Ziyi, the son, has been growing up with his wife, while Weizi is busy filming, so there are few opportunities for father and son to meet.
In the process of his son's growth, he was everywhere. Even when he applied for Chinese opera, Wang Ziyi didn't tell his father.
Not only that, Wang Ziyi has never revealed that he is the son of Weizi since he entered the entertainment circle. While other second-generation stars are relying on the aura of the previous generation to start their careers, Wang Ziyi just silently started from scratch, not relying on his father's reputation.
Wang Ziyi, like Weizi when he was young, was stubborn and just wanted to rely on himself.
07
Now 65-year-old Weizi has gradually retired from the stage, rarely seeing him again, and started to be a director.
I also began to let myself return to my family and accompany my family.
From the grumpy young people who went to the countryside to today's old drama bones, decades of ups and downs have created the audience's favorite Weizi.
