Actor Wang Yang is ushering in the best time he has been in the industry.
Since last year, Wang Yang's screen dominance mode has continued to this day. From Chen Moqun, the "King of Drag" in " Rebel " to Sheng Fangting, who "I only love myself" in " With You in this Life ", to Cai Xiaoguang, who loves sober and lives clearly in " Human World ".
This handsome actor born in Harbin and looks very handsome is 44 years old this year. Although his latecomer is due to his personality, the changes in the external environment of the film and television industry are also one of the important factors. Once the noisy and humble tide fades, a powerful man like him who is both introverted and intimate will naturally become "traffic".
If you rank the main characters in the just-concluded TV series "The World", Cai Xiaoguang, played by Wang Yang, is at most a small role, but his existence is undoubtedly a "warm sun" in "The World". In this work that portrays the life history of ordinary people, Cai Xiaoguang's existence brings light to ordinary years. Whenever he appears with a faint smile and solves various problems for the Zhou family with ease, the character tone of "The World" presents different levels and rich colors like prisms. This man who has been waiting for Zhou Rong all his life is somewhat like Yang Xiao in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Back then, many people did not like Zhang Wuji , but were attracted by the "Guangming Left Envoy". Cai Xiaoguang and Yang Xiao are both capable and affectionate men, and are also the easiest to win the audience's favor. It is said that Cai Xiaoguang in the original work is not outstanding. In the drama version, since Wang Yang is a very special actor, no matter how many scenes there are, he has a strong presence. Even the director of Li Lu "can't help but continue to add dramas to Cai Xiaoguang. In the end, Cai Xiaoguang became the second only to the Zhou family and has the most scenes in the play.
There is another saying that in the original work, Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang were separated for 12 years, and Cai Xiaoguang was not "guarding his body as jade", while the TV series adapted this character into "the ideal of the world". Cai Xiaoguang's character is in the very down-to-earth and solid "The World", which represents a kind of romance and a yearning in people's hearts. Some idealistic things are achieved through this overly perfect character. Moreover, many people in the crew believe that "Cai Xiaoguang" has more or less the shadow of director Li Lu. Growing up in Northeast China, being admitted to a foreign university, becoming a well-known director... He handed over a role with his own projection to Wang Yang, which shows the director's recognition and love for him.
The appearance of "The World" was "acted" from his feet. Before the filming of "The World", Wang Yang heard many people talk about "Cai Xiaoguang". There are the original author Liang Xiaosheng , and there are also ordinary readers. "I want to know what kind of role Cai Xiaoguang is from different people's perspectives." After listening to everyone's understanding of Cai Xiaoguang, Wang Yang integrated the things he could absorb and used this understanding to act. As it turns out, he created the most glorious part of Cai Xiaoguang's personality: seeing the world very clearly and living a very free and easy life.
can judge the level of an actor in a picture with a very small object distance. In front of the big close-up, an outstanding actor will reasonably use the subtle muscle movements of eyes, mouth corners, nose, and even wrinkles to accurately convey the character's inner world in an instant. Wang Yang is such an actor. Screenwriter Shi Hang once commented on Wang Yang, "He is such a good person, a bit like Wang Zhiwen back then." He said that he is like Wang Zhiwen back then, and he is a bit over-reputable, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense. These two are both experts who are good at using the subtle facial expressions and body movements to act in inner dramas in an extreme situation. This kind of performance with visible texture and texture is easy to remember, and over time it forms its personal performance style. At the same time, both of them have impressive lines.
Careful audiences can find that Wang Yang's appearance in "The World" starts with his feet.The camera starts with Cai Xiaoguang going up the stairs and following the filming... The plot tells that after Zhou Bingkun was fired by the wood processing factory, he went to Cai Xiaoguang's factory to find a way out for himself. Cai Xiaoguang, played by Wang Yang, officially debuted here. From the steps of wearing yellow labor-proof shoes and jumping up the stairs at three levels and two levels, the audience can feel Cai Xiaoguang's complacentness. This kind of compliment comes from the smooth journey brought to him by his good background, and also from the joy of learning that Bingkun calls himself "brother-in-law" in the doorman. "I really hope I am your brother-in-law!" Cai Xiaoguang's words did not mean to take advantage of Bingkun at all. Instead, his deep affection for Zhou Rong was revealed in his understatement.
Judging from the dialogue between the characters in the play, Cai Xiaoguang is a child of a cadre, but his appearance does not allow us to see the arrogance of the cadre's children at all. The most rare thing is that he is still grateful for this honest boy who almost became his brother-in-law, and is grateful for his hospitality to him back then. From the scene where he suggested that Bingkun go to the soy sauce factory, Bingkun was unhappy to Cai Xiaoguang doing ideological work with him, it seemed easy and smooth, but in fact, the appearance of antelope hanging on the horns is inseparable from the actors constantly grasping and thinking about the characters outside the play.
"Employees can get a large bottle of two small bottles of soy sauce every month... If your family can't live, then give it to others. For relatives and friends, you will be happy to give it to anyone! The relationship between relatives and friends has been consolidated, and the relationship has also deepened. Isn't there more ways for multiple friends?" Such a heart-to-heart talk may not be explained so thoroughly even by brothers. The reason why Cai Xiaoguang was so obsessed with Zhou Bingkun was, in addition to his own character, probably because Bingkun was Zhou Rong's younger brother. Seeing that Bingkun was still hesitating, he immediately went further - "You are different from me. You are the son of a construction worker. Benefits are more important than decent. If you really work in a soy sauce factory, it is not only for you, but also for me to help you Zhou family. It is not in vain that Zhou Rong regards me as her flower protector and confidant of the opposite sex for so many years..."
The scene is written with exquisite lines from the perspective of the script. Promoting the plot is secondary, and seeing the characters and the state of society at that time is the main one. And this is mainly lurking under the secondary. This requires the actors' deep understanding and expression. Here, the rivalry between Wang Yang and Lei Jiayin is very exciting: one keeps playing, one keeps closing; one is advancing as retreat, and the other is advancing as advance. Many viewers were fans of Cai Xiao as soon as they came up because of this scene - Cai Xiaoguang, who had clear ideas and emotional intelligence, and would consider others, suddenly stood up. And for the person behind Zhou Bingkun, sister Zhou Rong, that is the source of emotion that Cai Xiaoguang is willing to do this! Some people become friends because they need to continue to love someone as a friend. That's how Cai Xiaoguang is. Because of Zhou Rong, he has a special relationship with the young and old of the Zhou family. Even though she is married as a wife, he still takes care of the Zhou family as much as possible within his ability. This is the deepest love.
In recent years, the characters played by Wang Yang seem to have something in common. The original work is rarely written, but after his adaptation, it became outstanding! This is true for Cai Xiaoguang, and so is Chen Moqun in the TV series "The Rebel". In the original novel, Chen Moqun wrote it very simply, and the screenwriter and director Zhouyou put in effort to adapt it. As a person who uses any means to survive, Chen Moqun's personality is very complicated and it is not easy to control it. When interpreting this character, Wang Yang borrowed the performance method of the stage play to express Chen Moqun's multifaceted nature in a slightly exaggerated way - his appearance is cool, arrogant, and coexist with loneliness. Because Chen Moqun's character has a dramatic change and distinct layers: at the beginning, the domineering power of the middle section is no longer disgraceful, and in the latter section is as humble as a stray dog... Every change of face makes people feel satisfied.
"Rebel" begins with a close-up of Wang Yang's solemn face.Chen Moqun led the crowd to arrest the liaison officer of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, but there was no panic in the slightest failure of the task. His body was like a leopard that was about to be launched, quietly standing by the window. His crushing aura made the screen scared inside and outside, and the tone of "Rebel" was established.
In fact, "The Rebel" is Wang Yang's first role as a villain in a spy war. When he heard about the rivalry with Wang Zhiwen, he hesitated. It’s not because of fear, but because he feels that from all aspects of his role and age, is it a bit untenable to let Gu Shenyan, played by Wang Zhiwen call him “Old Chen”? But after reading the ten episodes of the script, Wang Yang was attracted by the huge room for the character Chen Moqun to play, especially in the first ten episodes, where he was almost the controller of the entire drama, and he controlled the rhythm of the plot, which was attractive to him. In the end, Wang Yang took it. The audience's mood was complicated when
"The King of Drags" was offline: they felt that Chen Moqun deserved it, but also lamented that fate was a mess for him. The audience has a complex view, which is related to Wang Yang's interpretation of Chen Moqun. Wang Yang once said, "Chen Moqun is not a pure villain." "This character is arrogant, unruly and decisive, but he is very charming. Although he is a villain in his position, he has some characteristics that make him a living person."
Facts have proved that "King of Drags" was played by him as an extremely outstanding character in "The Rebel". Before he went offline, he even overshadowed the male lead Zhu Yilong . Director Zhou You praised him: "Wang Yang has increased the thickness and sense of history by portraying Chen Moqun's inner entanglements in several stages. The enemy is stronger and I am stronger. He is the enemy who can make the decency shine more."
has never had a small role, as long as you have enough strength. Tracing back to Wang Yang's experience of amazeing everyone with his supporting roles, you will find that whether it is the "uneasy" Teng Zijing in "Qing Yu Nian", or the fascinating "brother-in-law" Shao Yuhan in " You Are My City Camp "... the name of actor Wang Yang is stripping away the shell of the character and remembering it by more people.
supporting roles make a drama more brilliant and interesting
Wang Yang has a good image, a unique temperament, and a wide range of acting. He can play a positive character, value love and righteousness, and be free and easy; he can also play a negative character, with a slutty, bad, and affectionate person just right. How could such an actor who wants to be good-looking, have the strength, and plays a villain just like him. How could he wait until he is in his 40s before he becomes popular?
In the past, Wang Yang was often said that "the drama is popular but not the person". After many years of debut, he has participated in many popular dramas such as "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain", " Youth Doctor ", " Golden and Good Marriage ". Every time the drama is broadcast, the characters are very talkative, and they return to peace after the end, and they don’t have a strong sense of existence. The reason for his personality made him pass by Zhao Baogang twice.
Wang Yang was a top student when he was young. He had the opportunity to study in a prestigious American university, but it was delayed due to visa issues. He was born in a wealthy family, so his parents always hoped that he could inherit the family business. However, at that time, Wang Yang was obsessed with table tennis and had no interest in doing business. Later, he was admitted to Shanghai Theater Academy and Communication University of China at the same time with excellent grades. He chose Shanghai Theater and was sent to study in by because of his outstanding English scores. After graduation in 2002, he went to the Beijing People's Art Theater exam with his classmates, his friends Ren Chong and Zhang Duo . As a result, he became the only one who was admitted to the People's Art Theatre in the same class. Later, he became the first actor among his classmates to be signed by the top agent Chang Jihong . He never developed the habit of "seeing people's eyes" in his life.
In 2002, Chang Jihong arranged for him and Zhao Baogang to have a meal. Zhao Baogang was a "top" director at that time, and he made half of the top-tier brands in the entertainment industry famous.He filmed " Enjoyment ", making Jiang Shan and Wang Zhiwen; filmed " A Romance and Flowing " and made Xu Jinglei ; filmed " Never End of Eyes " and discovered Lu Yi , Yuan Li ; filmed " Like Fog, Rain and Wind " and made Chen Kun , Zhou Xun , , , 2 Li Xiaoran , Sun Honglei ; filming "Struggle" made Tong Dawei , Li Xiaolu , Ma Yili, Wen Zhang; filming "What to save you, my lover" made Liu Ye , Yin Xiaotian ...
Chang Jihong is optimistic about Wang Yang, and his original intention was to give him the opportunity to win the male protagonist of "What to save you, my lover" - Long Xiaoyu . As a result, when Wang Yang saw Zhao Baogang, he missed Long Xiaoyu because he didn't say a word. In an exclusive interview, Wang Yang disclosed this past story himself. When facing Zhao Baogang, he just nodded mutely and said two words: "I have seen it." During a meal, not only did he not toast a glass of wine, but he also almost didn't say much. How could he know the rules of the "drama circle": eating is just an "interview"! In this way, Wang Yang missed the opportunity. Eight years later, in 2010, the door of opportunity opened to him again. At that time, Wang Yang's buddy Zhang Duo had become a little popular. In order to attract old friends, Zhang Duo brought Wang Yang to the crew of " Marriage Defense War ". Zhang Duo wanted to finish the filming and introduce Zhao Baogang to him. Unexpectedly, Wang Yang was obediently observing a scene from his buddies and left...
2014, 36-year-old Wang Yang finally performed Zhao Baogang's "Young Doctor". The character Wang Bo was actually not so full at first, and Wang Yang designed many small details to make the character live all at once. On the set, Zhao Baogang even stood up and called him "good". At a later press conference, Zhao Baogang singled out Wang Yang from a group of actors and praised him. Unfortunately, the traffic of Zhao Baogang's works at that time was no longer as high as that of Yu Zheng . But Wang Yang, who likes to think about characters, did not get depressed. He settled himself in every drama, waiting for his own "to be seen".
has been waiting for another five years. Wang Yang finally waited for Teng Zijing - a "blinking" character between "playing soy sauce" and "important supporting roles". "There will be offline in episode 11, the characters will be too upright, and at most they will become loyal servants." But Wang Yang is not satisfied with this. He believes that Teng Zijing has high martial arts skills, is affectionate and righteous, and has an IQ online... Why can't he compete with Fan Xian in some aspects? So, under his thoughts, Teng Zijing became a real killer, with his eyes very evil, but in the end his true love flowed to Fan Xian, and his life became a gamble because of this true love. When he went offline, countless people sighed at the "strange love" of Teng Zijing and Fan Xian in front of the screen.
The most important thing is that Teng Zijing also unexpectedly became the "turning point in Fan Xian's mental growth." Screenwriter Wang Juan never expected that Teng Zijing would become the character who led the climax of the plot, and he specially posted an article online to thank Wang Yang for his "creation". It was "Qing Yu Nian" that made Wang Yang truly stand out; it was also "Qing Yu Nian" that actor Wang Yang began to prove himself with his strength: supporting roles can make a drama more glorious and interesting. At that time, Wang Yang went to the scene 18 times. Although the role he played had been offline, he would still stay for several hours or even one day.
This is actor Wang Yang, who was called the male actor in the performance variety show " I Am an Actor " by Xu Zheng , who is called "as long as he is given a chance, he will shine" by Xu Zheng . Participating in "I Am an Actor", Wang Yang defeated Ren Suxi , Li Chun , Jin Shijia , and successfully reached the semi-finals. When performing the "Left and Right" clip, his performance was delicate and profound, showing the helplessness and sadness of the lives of ordinary people in the city to the fullest. Ze Ziyi said on the spot that she has become Wang Yang's number one fan, and Ze Jizhong director even took out his mobile phone and added his WeChat on the spot.
After playing supporting roles for many years, Wang Yang finally waited for his own spring."I believe that as long as the story is written solidly, the actors interpret it carefully, try to do their duties well, and have emotional output, the audience will watch it." This is Wang Yang's creed. He waved his hands repeatedly about himself being called "middle-aged traffic", "Don't say that, I am far from being. There are not so many people who know Wang Yang. In terms of acting skills, I think I am not mediocre, but I am not that excellent. There are more middle-aged male actors better than me, so I will continue to work hard."
When Wang Yang was almost 40 years old, he married his girlfriend, actor Goss , and he is also a junior sister in the theater. My daughter is over one year old now. In life, he tried hard to balance the relationship between acting and life. In the year his wife was pregnant, he turned down almost all his work and devoted himself to accompanying her at home.
Recently, good news about him has been heard one by one. First, "Cai Xiaoguang" and "Zhou Rong" are a match! Wang Yang and Xiao Songjia achieved second cooperation in the new drama "Echo" that Feng Xiaogang has just shut down in , and performed a story that started with a murder case. Secondly, the role of the new drama " Trek Kunlun Ruins " adapted from the novel of the same name by the World Bachang has also been officially announced, and Wang Yang will play the role of warlord Luo Yunsong. Of course, after acting in so many TV series, Wang Yang is still thinking about having the opportunity to return to the stage of the People's Art Theater to perform dramas. He always felt that the People's Art Theatre is a very important furnace. "I need to feel the stage, which has a great impact on the actors' coherent performance and sense of proportion." Whenever he has time, he will also watch the performances of his peers, senior and young, watching American, Korean and British dramas... In his opinion, "all this is to ultimately give you a relatively accurate understanding and understanding of performance."
The career path is getting better and better. The satisfaction brought to Wang Yang is in line with his positioning of himself - "Actors must do their duty. From the beginning, I will identify a principle: I want to play this role, and can I play the role alive and thoroughly." In an interview, Wang Yang talked about his principle of choosing scripts. At the same time, as the outside world's recognition of him has increased in recent years, he is also facing the situation of being labeled. In this regard, he believes, "For actors, sometimes you adapt to this label, it will make things easier. The audience will be particularly easy to accept the role, remember him, and then judge that I like him or hate him. But in terms of the duty of an actor's performance, the purpose of the performance is not simply to shape the 'label' of a character, but to try to shape a 'real person' as complicated as possible." He knows that the charm of a character comes from complexity. "Only with complex emotions, the audience's understanding of the role will be profound." Over the years of profound observations of his career have made Wang Yang, who is middle-aged, have a clear understanding. Therefore, in this sense, being in his forties is the best time for a male actor.
