In 2004, He Zhengjun received the script " Bright Sword ".
At that time, the director gave him the role "Zhao Gang".
He Zhengjun said to the director: "I just want to play Zhao Gang!"
Director: "No, the actors have been decided."
He Zhengjun: "Only I can play Zhao Gang well. As long as I let me play Zhao Gang, I can't give me a pay."
Director was puzzled: "What are your obsessions with the role of Zhao Gang, why do you have to play him?"
Until He Zhengjun talked about his past events to the director.
01
In He Zhengjun's growth experience, he seemed to have never seen his father laugh.
Father never praised the children.
After graduating from high school, He Zhengjun wanted to join the army, but his parents strongly opposed it.
His father used to be a soldier. He didn't want his children to be as tired as he did. He just wanted his children to have a stable job.
He Zhengjun is also very obedient and obeys his parents' arrangements to become a draftsman.
He draws pictures in the office every day and has almost no other spare time.
But this is a job that countless people envy. Being a draftsman means you won’t lose your job in your life.
But He Zhengjun is different from ordinary people. He doesn’t like such a boring life.
does the same thing every day, leaving his youth without any passion and passion.
Over time, He Zhengjun had the idea of resigning.
coincided with the time when Central Academy of Drama was recruiting students, so he signed up for the exam.
The result made my father know.
He’s father: “If you go to be an actor, I will pretend that you don’t have your son. We will cut off the father-son relationship from now on.”
He Zhengjun, who has always been obedient, was determined to leave this time.
Even if my father wants to cut off his relationship with him.
1982, 19-year-old He Zhengjun resolutely stepped into the gate of the Central Academy of Drama despite his family's obstruction.
At the same time, 22-year-old Ni Dahong , 23-year-old Zhang Guangbei and others became classmates.
The youngest He Zhengjun is the "group favorite" in the class.
is beautiful and upright, and is very likable.
The girl who chased him broke through the dormitory door.
Today is Shi Ke coming to the dormitory to find him, tomorrow is Wu Yueyujuan, the day after tomorrow is Gong Li .
As long as girls come to the dormitory, the boys will know that they must be here to find He Zhengjun.
Once Ni Dahong returned to the dormitory after playing basketball and heard someone singing inside.
He just snatched at the door and took a secret look. In the dormitory, He Zhengjun lowered his head and played the guitar. Gong Li sat on the opposite bed, humming a song and looking at He Zhengjun.
This scene was so beautiful. Ni Dahong couldn't bear to bother you, so he didn't dare to go in.
But He Zhengjun seems to be a elm-headed person, and he didn't see that the girls were interested in him at all.
These buddies are also very jealous of him. He Zhengjun is from Chengdu and the hot sauce stir-fried at home is very delicious.
Zhang Guangbei and Ni Dahong old steal his hot sauce to eat.
His spicy sauce was locked in the cabinet. Ni Dahong thought that if he pried open the lock, he would be found. He could only pull out the wooden board behind the cabinet, and after eating the spicy sauce, he stuffed the wooden board back.
Later, He Zhengjun found that every time he took it out, he felt that the hot sauce was a little less, and he thought it had evaporated.
If Ni Dahong had not mentioned this on the show many years later, He Zhengjun probably wouldn't have known about it now.
When college was about to graduate, Gong Li was assigned to the countryside, and her classmates all said that she would go to the door to give her a gift.
It was not until the moment of parting that He Zhengjun realized that he seemed to be feeling a little throbbing in his heart.
He couldn't tell whether he liked Gong Li, and he wanted to give it to him but was embarrassed to give it to him.
can only keep pace, looking thoughtful on his face.
Jin Lili said to He Zhengjun: "Go quickly, no matter what identity he is, even classmates should go and see her off."
At the instigation of Jin Lili, He Zhengjun ran out the door quickly.
But Gong Li's car has gone far away, and the two have no relationship since then.
Later Gong Li and next door of Beijing Film Academy became lovers.
He Zhengjun's indifference indirectly rejected Gong Li's enthusiasm for him.
can only blame the two for being destined to be together, and this life can only be the love of classmates.
He Zhengjun is not only late in his relationship, but also late in his studies.
The classmates in the class have more or less experience in acting, and his work and performance have nothing to do with them. His studies have always been at the bottom in the class. The gap in
made him feel very inferior, and even suspected that he was not suitable for acting at all, and he wanted to drop out of school for a time.
But when I thought about the fact that I had to learn to perform despite my family’s opposition, I would be embarrassed now that I gave up halfway, so I could only read on the ground.
In order to keep up with the progress, he worked ten times more hard than others.
Ni Dahong was learning when he was playing basketball.
Zhang Guangbei was studying when he was in love.
When classmates were having dinner together, he was still studying.
Adhering to the principle that a stupid bird flies first, He Zhengjun is more diligent and harder than his classmates.
Later, he gradually kept up with the teacher's pace and was praised by the teacher every time he performed his homework.
02
After graduation, He Zhengjun was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater.
also starred in the TV series "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Ruiyun".
However, this drama did not cause much response, and He Zhengjun's career was mediocre and he has been playing supporting roles in various crews.
I haven't achieved my career and I have no intention of falling in love.
This made my parents worry. I tried every means to introduce him to a blind date, but he refused them all.
Until 1990, He Zhengjun came to Yunnan to film.
crew members brought relatives to Yunnan for a trip.
A girl named Fan Yu is in the relative group.
He Zhengjun was attracted by Fan Yu at first sight.
He was like a young man who had just fallen in love, so shy that he dared not say hello to the girl.
As soon as he walked to Fan Yu, his face turned red suddenly and he ran away nervously.
He only dared to stand in the distance and looked at her silently, not daring to walk forward.
After a long time, he felt that he could not continue like this. What if the girl came home after the trip.
So, he tried every means to find opportunities to chat with Fan Yu.
There was a crew dinner, and He Zhengjun hesitated for a while and picked up his glass and walked towards Fan Yu.
and said to her, "Come on, I'll give you a cup."
made the girl confused.
How could I chat with a girl like this? Fan Yu was so scared that she had to pick up the wine glass and drink it obediently.
He Zhengjun also quickly had a drink when he saw this.
As the saying goes, drinking makes cowards brave. After drinking a glass of wine, he seems to be less nervous.
simply change seats with others and sit next to Fan Yu and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
A night passed, and Fan Yu also felt He Zhengjun’s thoughts.
Before we knew it, the two of them came together. After the filming of the
, He Zhengjun called Fan Yu long-distance phone number every day.
Actors were not paid at that time, and he did not become famous, and all his only income was spent on phone bills.
1992, He Zhengjun and Fan Yu got married.
After marriage, He Zhengjun took Fan Yu to live in a small 9 square house divided by the unit.
The salary of the two of them can only fill their stomachs and have no spare money to shop.
My wife's shoes are worn out and she is reluctant to throw them away. She will continue to wear them with seams and patches.
Although life was very difficult, Fan Yu never despised him.
Not long after, Fan Yu became pregnant.
He Zhengjun's parents came to Shanghai to see their daughter-in-law.
left a sum of money for his daughter-in-law and a letter for his son before leaving.
"Buy more delicious food to replenish your daughter-in-law. The girl follows you, you have to treat her well. Buy a new pair of shoes for the girl."
He Zhengjun looked at Xin with shame.
He thought in his heart that he must work hard and live a better life for his wife.
Not long after, Fan Yu gave birth to a daughter.
He Zhengjun named his daughter "He Hugo" to show his love for his wife.
After the birth of his daughter, He Zhengjun's burden became heavier and heavier.
He could only take on the role desperately, and he played any role, and wished he could stay in the crew all day long.
Fish and bear's paw cannot have both .
While he is busy with work, he has less and less time to go home.
One day he was filming in the crew and suddenly received a call from home.
The eldest brother said that his mother had entered the dying moment and asked him to take time to come back and take a look no matter what.
He Zhengjun couldn't speak on the way home.
I just became a father, but my mother is about to say goodbye to him.
He Zhengjun didn't know how to face everything that was going to happen next.
Think about it, I haven't made a name for myself for so many years, and I still lack the old age of the old couple.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to support his parents but his parents do not wait for . This is the biggest regret in the world.
finally stopped working and went home, but it was only the last time I sent my mother.
After handling her mother's funeral, He Zhengjun saw his father leaning against the corner of the wall with his back hunched over.
Thinking of his father who used to fight for the enemy on the battlefield, he is now as old as a shadow.
His eyes became wet unconsciously.
This mood can only be described by the lyrics of "Father's Prose Poem" written by Xu Fei.
"My daughter ran into the campus with a ponytail, and my old mother has left the world."
1984 The crops have not been harvested
Daughter lies in my arms and sleeps so sweetly
Tonight's open-air movie I don't have time to watch
Wife reminded me Repair the pedals of the sewing machine
I'm going to go tomorrow. The neighbor borrows some money
The child has cried all day long and wants to eat biscuits
Blue polyester card top pain into the heart
Squatting on the edge of the pond and giving myself two punches
This is my father Text in the diary
This is his youth. The prose poem that left behind.
Decades later. I looked at it and she burst into tears. But my father is old like a shadow.
1994. The crops have been harvested.
My old mother last year. I left the world.
My daughter had a ponytail and ran into the campus.
But she recently. She is a little lonely and lost a lot.
Think about the future. I am old as a pile of old paper money.
The daughter at that time will definitely be very beautiful.
There is a man who loves her. I want to marry her and go home.
But I think about these things. I can't bear to look at her.
This is my father. The text in the diary
This is his life. Leave
Leave prose poems
Decades later I burst into tears when I looked at it. But my father is as old as an old newspaper
0 The story above is his life.
But at this time, He Zhengjun has not achieved success and has not returned home in glory.
At this time, he especially wanted to do something for his father, and wanted his father to be proud of himself.
03
In 2004, the director handed the script of "Bright Sword" to He Zhengjun.
He Zhengjun is very satisfied with the script, but he doesn't want to act as a role arranged by the director for him.
He has a great obsession with the role of "Zhao Gang".
Because the prototype of "Political Commissar Zhao" comes from the 129th Division, and his father He Shaokuan also served with the 129th Division.
is also a reconnaissance company commander of the 129th Division. He was once Liu Boc's personal guard and participated in the B regiment battle.
He Zhengjun really wants to play this role and wants to show it to his father.
let my father see that he re-walking those red years on TV.
Director was moved by this story and changed his role for him now.
There were several scripts in his hands during the filming of "Bright Sword", and the shooting locations were all in the city, and the conditions were much better, but he turned down all scripts and followed the crew to Taigu, Shanxi.
The filming process of "Bright Sword" is very difficult. Unlike now, after shooting all the scenes in one base, the actors also have hotels and entertainment venues.
And He Zhengjun and the others really came to an abandoned village at that time.
The weather is particularly cold. The first thing the actors do to join the group is to go up the mountain to find firewood. After lit the fire, a circle of people gathered together to keep the fire warm.
There are no other entertainment activities every day, the only way to entertain is to discuss lines.
Many plots in the play were discussed by He Zhengjun and Li Youbin while resting.
Among them Li Yunlong was seriously injured and almost died. Zhao Gang was waiting for him by the bed all night.
was still muttering by the bed, muttering Li Yunlong came back to life.
Then Zhao Gang said, "I knew that you can't die."
This script is not included, it was compiled by the two of them themselves.
The swear words were also what He Zhengjun thought of themselves. Unexpectedly, the effect was pretty good, so the director kept them.
When he first arrived in Taigu, He Zhengjun called his father: "Dad, I'm filming in Shanxi."
He's father: "Then take time to go to Taigu County. I fought a war there when I was young. I had time to see how it is now."
Those glorious years have made every soldier unforgettable.
He Zhengjun then said, "I am in Taigu County now!"
He's father: "What? Are you in Taigu County now? Then you go and see if the battlefield hospital is still there? I have been injured there before!"
The battlefield hospital mentioned by He's father is the yard where "Li Yunlong" recovers from the injury in the play.
And He Zhengjun is standing in the yard at this moment.
Hearing this, my father couldn't speak across the phone, and the vivid scenes of the past were emerging in my mind.
hung up the phone, and He Zhengjun stood in the yard and sighed infinitely.
After decades, the son stood for his father on the land where his father sacrificed his blood.
He Zhengjun also crossed the mountains and waded the river for his father in another identity.
September 12, 2005, "Bright Sword" was broadcast.
He's father stayed in front of the TV to watch on time every day. Sometimes he didn't feel satisfied and asked his child to find it out for him to watch it repeatedly.
I believe that He’s father watched not only TV series, but also recalled the glorious years.
"Bright Sword" was broadcast, and the ratings soared and he successfully won the annual ratings championship.
The role of "Political Commissar Zhao" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has successfully made the 42-year-old He Zhengjun a national first-class actor.
After many years, "Bright Sword" is still popular.
From then on, He Zhengjun walked onto the street, and passers-by said to him: "I know you, you are Political Commissar Zhao!"
Once, He Zhengjun made a mistake and parked the car in the wrong place. The traffic police got off the car and issued a ticket to him.
When he walked in, the traffic police couldn't help but raise his mouth: "Oh, isn't this Political Commissar Zhao?"
He Zhengjun said to the traffic police: "It's okay, if you need to issue a ticket, you will issue a ticket, treat it equally."
Traffic police left after issuing the ticket.
He Zhengjun was about to pay the fine, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the ticket said "Political Commissar He".
He was so amused that he was so happy that he called the traffic police again: "I have to ask you to come here, I call He Zhengjun, not He Zhengjun."
Two years after "Bright Sword" was broadcast, He Zhengjun went home to celebrate the Spring Festival.
He always feels that he may not be able to see his father next time he comes back.
04
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, He Zhengjun returned to Shanghai from his hometown in Sichuan.
When the car drove out of the community, He Zhengjun saw his father standing behind the car and crying in the rearview mirror.
The father who is strong all his life has never shed tears, but this time he watches his son travel far away.
On September 15 of the same year, He Zhengjun's father passed away.
He was filming in another place at that time.
After receiving the notice, he kowtowed to his father from the air in the crew.
Not seeing his father for the last time became a regret that He Zhengjun would never be able to make up for in his life.
I just had some grades, and my parents passed away one after another.
Although the father has never praised his son, he must be proud of his son.
He Zhengjun can only work hard to live up to his parents' expectations for him during his lifetime.
The busy work not only makes him owe his parents, but also his wife and daughter.
He lacks too many moments of his daughter growing up.
is basically the daughter raised by the wife alone.
He Zhengjun will bring gifts to his children as soon as he gets home and will accompany his wife to go shopping.
But he doesn't like shopping. Every time he doesn't have the patience before visiting a few stores, he just gives the card to his wife, making her buy whatever she wants.
He Zhengjun is a straight man who doesn’t understand the charm and doesn’t know how to be romantic.
What others send to his wife are all love words, and he sends his wife several "wife instructions".
1.12 must go to bed before!
2. Don’t gather people to gamble!
3. Eat whatever you want!
really laughed. No one told his wife that "you should not gather people to gamble"? It is not like the husband's instructions to his wife, but rather like the teacher's instructions to his students.
However, this also confirms the roommate Ni Dahong's evaluation of him: " is stupid, He Zhengjun is very stupid! "
neither can tell that the girls like him nor can they play romance with their wife.
However, it is precisely because of He Zhengjun's silly temperament that he is very low-key, upright, and has no problem with his life style.
never plays a big shot or is never special.
is still eating mats in the countryside, and like everyone else, I eat big pot dish .
On weekdays, you won’t go to any other wine party except for reunions with old classmates.
If you don’t work, just stay at home with your daughter and your wife.
Because of his father's teaching, he is upright and open-minded.
works diligently at work and live a clean life. She is still as loving as before after 30 years of marriage to her first love Fan Yu.
In this chaotic entertainment industry, he has always adhered to his original aspirations and has not had any scandals in his debut for 36 years.
2022, He Zhengjun's new drama "Entering Westward" started filming.
I believe that He Zhengjun, who has both virtue and art, can bring more exciting roles to the audience.
