Anti-Japanese theme can be said to be the "evergreen tree" in the history of Chinese TV dramas, and there are many star stars who have been praised. And those "colonels" who often play villains in the drama are often ignored. How are they doing now?
, Yang Qingwen
Yang Qingwen played many anti-Japanese drama villains back then, Yamazaki in "Killing the Tiger's Mouth", Si Neiyong in " Indelible Number ", and then Kuroshima Morita in " Bright Sword " made his image of the Imperial Army more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So much so many people now know his real name, but they must know this familiar face and call him "colonel" and "Kuroshima Morita".
Now 61 years old, Yang Qingwen is also at the age of retirement. Judging from the daily videos he shared, his retirement life is very fulfilling. He is still acting in his sixties, and many of the roles he plays are still his familiar old profession - acting as a colonel.
This costume and appearance are like it is tailor-made for him. During the filming period, he also shoots some behind-the-scenes videos to record his daily work.
After all, she is already at the age of retirement. Yang Qingwen's frequency of acting is not high, and she will return to the countryside when she is free. Seeing him mowing the straw with a sickle and a straw hat, he looked very familiar with farm work. Who would have thought that the colonel in my impression would also work in the fields for a day.
In the past, Yang Qingwen was so embarrassed that the audience who were involved in the show would inevitably make the audience angry. Now he himself is also very relaxed and often makes "colonel-like jokes" in his videos.
For example, he said that there are "eight" in total. Because the sound is very similar to "eight squares", it caused an erratic attack. " Duan Peng " slapped several times in the face.
Following friends on the streets, and being interviewed for how to prove that he had acted in "Bright Sword" with one action. Yang Qingwen, who played the colonel, opened his mouth and said a classic line: "Yuxi!"
while playing Duan Peng's Zhang Xiaojun , and slapped Yang Qingwen without hesitation. The slap was very strong and all made afterimages, and a loud sound could be clearly heard in the video.
Although it is a joke, netizens are very considerate of the "colonel", and even think that Yang Qingwen is becoming more and more decent as he grows. It can only be said that Yang Qingwen's old age life is rich, colorful, funny and humorous. Although he still plays the role of a disgusting colonel, his personal charm outside the play has attracted fans.
, Lu Peng
In "Bright Sword", in addition to Morita, another Royal Army character, SanBi, also impressed the audience. The actor Lu Peng is different from Yang Qingwen, who became a monk and acted halfway through. He was a Ph.D. and even studied for a doctorate along the way, proficient in Japanese and English.
Sanben Yimu is the first character played by Lu Peng. Because he acted so well, he was once regarded as a Japanese by the audience. After this drama, he played such fixed roles in many anti-Japanese dramas, including Yamada in " Sabre ", Kawaguchi Masao in " Songhua River ", and Junichi Takeki in "Arrow on the String".
Since 2015, Lu Peng has not taken on roles for several years and seems to be preparing to gradually fade out of the entertainment industry. It was not until 2021 that the action suspense film " Counterattack " directed and acted by Zhao Wenzhuo started filming that everyone saw Lu Peng who had not appeared for a long time at the boot ceremony. At this time, Lu Peng was 53 years old, had a mustache and gray hair, but he was still very handsome.
Lu Peng also starred in the movie "Beyond", starring Zheng Kai. This time he rarely breaks through his inherent image and plays not the colonel or the boss, but the sports coach.
After all, he is also one of the most educated actors in the film and television industry. Lu Peng did not waste his education and talent, so he is still a teacher while filming.Colleges and universities often post photos of Teacher Lu when he held a lecture. The image of the decent teacher is completely different from the image of the colonel in the TV series.
, Koji Yano
More than a few years ago, Koji Yano was one of the most active Japanese artists in China. The roles of the Imperial Army and Colonel he once played were also very popular. Saito in "Soldier Zhang Ga" is the most outstanding role in his acting career.
Since then, Koji Yano's career in China has flourished and has become the first host of " Everyday Upward ". But for various reasons, Koji Yano withdrew from the hosting team of "Everyday Upward" in 2012, and has never returned except for returning to the stage in 2018 to reunite with the Tiantian brothers.
Then Koji Yano has fewer and fewer opportunities to appear on the Chinese screen. In the corner that everyone ignores, he has actually been running around China and Japan, participating in variety shows and TV series in the two places, and is still a bridge of friendly communication between China and Japan.
In 2020, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Shigeji Yano, who was filming in Japan, learned that China was not optimistic, and immediately raised 130,000 masks in Japan, and then transported these materials to China through relationships, doing his part.
Kuji Yano once said no next time: I am actually half a Chinese, my wife and daughter are both Chinese, and I am a son-in-law in Chongqing. That's right, Yoko Yano married a Chinese girl while filming in China. After his daughter was born, he also let her daughter become Chinese nationality.
Nowadays, Koji Yano is still running both ends of China and Japan. This year he took the time to pass the Chinese exam, and his face was full of happiness.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Koji Yano is still posting a message to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his relationship with the Chinese family. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he also announced his Chinese name "Haoge", which has been officially launched since then. He has regarded himself as a part of this big family.
During the National Day, Hao Er also recorded a video to celebrate the festival, which was very sincere. In fact, no one expected to use "red and special" to describe the colonel who once had a deep impression of the villain.
. Ma Weijun
Chinese actor Ma Weijun was also a "professional colonel" in anti-Japanese dramas. He actually debuted very early, but he never became famous. It was not until he played the role of the Japanese villain in "My Brother is Shunliu" and "Snow Leopard" that he gradually became remembered by everyone.
Because Ma Weijun's Japanese is very fluent and fits the image of a vicious and insidious villain, he played many images of a colonel: Colonel Nomura in the anti-Japanese war movie "Fierce Battle", and the Japanese division leader Risuke Sei in " Invincible ", etc., all of them. Because he acted too vividly, many viewers thought he was a real Japanese.
Although Ma Weijun, who is now 66 years old, rarely takes the initiative to share his daily life, he learned from the information revealed by other actors and passers-by that Ma Weijun is still insisting on acting and still plays the familiar image of a colonel.
In private life, Ma Weijun took off his colonel's appearance and was just an ordinary old man. He is over 60 years old and has now moved back a lot, but he is still very energetic.
. Lu Fangsheng
Lu Fangsheng was born in Shanghai, but after graduating from elementary school, he lived in Japan with his parents for many years, and he also practiced fluent Japanese because of this. Lu Fangsheng has wanted to play a tough guy since he was a child, and after entering the entertainment industry, the first thing he did to let everyone remember his role was actually the "colonel".
Japanese commander Yamashita Bongtake , Japanese agent Yamamoto Yamamoto in "Black Fox", Japanese captain Hidero Nishimura in " Chinese Cavalry ", Japanese officer Masaji Asano in " Lone Wolf "... Ashiyoshi is seen in these anti-Japanese and spy war dramas.
Now 44 years old, Lu Fang has grown into the appearance of a charming uncle. His marital status has always been a mystery. I don’t know if he is still single now.
Lu Fangsheng uses the images of Japanese officers to make the audience remember him, but he is not bound by this role. In recent years, he has rarely seen him play such an image again. He tried costume dramas, serious dramas, and urban dramas one by one, and even became the male lead from a supporting role.
The role is not big or small, and the acting skills are not distinguished by the decent villains. These actors who often play "colonel" usually get roles that are not likable, but they still treat them with care and do not reject the villain they have played. It is their in-depth acting skills that make countless audiences so immersed in the show.
So many years have passed, some of them have suffered changes, and some have been over 60 years old, but they have not given up their acting career, which shows their love for acting, and I hope that their future lives will be more fulfilling and colorful.
