Breaking into Beijing has a dream in my heart.
Wang, male, 1985, from Dahuita Village, Nanhe County, Hebei Province. Like most rural children, he especially likes watching movies, especially martial arts movies. At the age of eight, after watching Shaolin Temple starring Jet Li, Wang pestered his parents to send him to Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province to study martial arts and make movies.
After staying in Shaolin Temple for six years, in the summer of 1999, Wang, who was only 14 years old, decided to go out to work because his family was poor. He went to Beijing by train alone with the 600 yuan money he usually saved, and lived in a rented house of a fellow villager. However, after running for half a month, no unit was willing to take him in.
The price in Beijing was so high that he was surprised. Soon, he spent almost all his money. Just when Wang couldn't hold on, he finally found a coolie job on a construction site in Haidian District. This is his first job. He works very hard. Soon, he found a job painting walls in another construction team. In the evening, he and a dozen workmates huddled in an ordinary shop made of felt cloth and wooden boards.
After solving the work problem, Wang especially wants to buy a new shirt because he has been wearing the double-breasted jacket he brought from Henan for so long. One day, when the construction team stopped working, Wang and a worker came to the door of a shop. Wang stared at the shirt in the window and said eagerly to his workmates, "I wish I had such a white shirt!" "
The yearning for martial arts films in childhood once again came to Wang's mind. He thought, at least he has martial arts expertise, why not try acting? He specially asked a fellow villager who worked as a white-collar worker in the company for advice. After listening to his timid confession, the villagers laughed disdainfully: "You can try your luck at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, where there are many directors who' pick' people!" Wang took it seriously and said excitedly, "Then can I be an actor?" Unexpectedly, a fellow villager said piteously, "silly boy, that's called an extra actor." Mixing in the crowd can't even see the back! " At the gate of Beiying, there are so many people who try their luck! "Wang still foolishly said," it doesn't matter if I can't see it. I'm filming anyway. "
At the beginning of 2000, Wang really left the construction team, inquired about it and came to the gate of the North Film Factory. Sure enough, there are many men and women waiting for opportunities like him here. Some of them are newly graduated college students, and some are drifting north, but they are all waiting at the gate, squatting or standing, and their faces are full of expectations. Wang joined the waiting army without hesitation.
God helps those who help themselves.
Wang is really lucky. In the spring of 2000, when he was waiting at the gate of Beiying, the director of the TV series "Silver Mouse" came here to pick someone. The director found Wang. He was short and simple-minded, so he went up to him and asked him if he would like to be an extra in the crew. James Wang almost jumped up! This is the first script he received! He performed very seriously according to the director's request. After the shooting, he was paid more than 500 yuan.
After that, Wang received the job of filming The Secret History of Xiaozhuang at the gate of Beiying, and worked as a body double for a leading actor in the play. Although the daily reward is only 50 yuan's money, he has to climb the high ladder again and again and fall down again and again. Sometimes, he has to be firmly held by others and then fall to the ground. When the director shouted "OK" excitedly, he was already bruised by the fall. ...
After filming The Secret History of Xiaozhuang, Wang didn't take the show for a long time. In the winter of 200 1, he caught a cold and had a high fever. He didn't want to spend money to go to the hospital, so he gritted his teeth. Who knows, the more you stand, the worse it gets. Later, he was covered with blisters. In desperation, he had to borrow 200 yuan from a friend to see a doctor. The doctor pricked his blisters one by one with a needle and coated them with anti-inflammatory drugs. He gritted his teeth to hold back the pain and burst into tears. He didn't cry, but he felt sorry for himself for spending 100 yuan this time! How many times does he have to fall down the ladder to earn this 100 yuan?
After recovering from his illness, Wang began to consciously get to know some friends in the entertainment circle and spread his resume all over the sky, hoping to be seen by a director and let him play the leading role. Who knows, everyone who knows laughed at him: you have no education, you are not handsome, and your martial arts are very average. How can I have fun?
However, I don't believe in this evil king. At the beginning of 2002, he was crouching at the gate of Beiying, and overheard that director Li Yang wanted to make a play about coal mines and was looking for an actor. Wang Wenwen, please take a video of his life, find out the address and send the video to Li Yang.
Fortunately, after watching his video, Li Yang thought that Wang with a big nose, small eyes and heavy eyebrows was stupid enough to play the role of a miner, so he decided to let Wang He and two other actors play the leading role! After receiving a phone call from Li Yang, Wang felt as if he were dreaming. He can't believe it, but he is so willing to believe it! Then, he and Li Yang came to a small coal mine in Shanxi to shoot "Blind Well". This play finally made Wang feel the taste of being the protagonist, and also made him get a considerable salary. Having a king of "Fu Xiao", he gritted his teeth and became desperate and extravagant, spending more than 1000 yuan to buy a mobile phone.
However, the film Blind Well was not shown in China for various reasons, but won a small prize at the Berlin Film Festival. In China, no audience or more directors know about Wang, and his life hasn't changed much.
Most of the partners who "squatted" at the gate of Beiying with Wang resigned and "changed careers" or returned to their hometown. However, Wang is still so yearning. He thought, no matter what you do, if giving up halfway is desertion, what is the pursuit of dreams? At this time, he has a strong belief in his heart: stick to it!
In the spring of 2004, when the great director was preparing to shoot world without thieves, he came across the Blind Well starring Wang. He thought Wang was very suitable to play a role in world without thieves, so he contacted Wang through Li Yang and invited him to talk in his studio.
Wang received a phone call and almost had a "stroke" with joy! Until he walked into the elevator of Xiaogang Feng's studio, his heart still seemed to jump out of his chest. Knocking on the door of the studio, I saw Xiaogang Feng sitting in an office chair and smiling at him. As soon as he sat down, Xiaogang Feng praised his performance of "carving nature" in the blind well, hoping that he would play a simple and honest rural baby "silly root" in world without thieves. Wang was so excited that he couldn't say a word, except that he nodded assiduously ... Half an hour later, Wang left and couldn't help giggling at everyone in the street.
Dreams come true step by step.
On April 1 day, 2004, Wang came to Labrang Temple in Xiahe County, Gansu Province with the cast of world without thieves, and revealed to him that Andy Lau, Rene Liu, Ge You and Li Bingbing were his opponents! Wang suddenly opened his mouth in surprise! In the past, it was his greatest wish to see these big stars. How dare he expect to act with them!
One day, Wang was trying out a play in front of Labrang Temple. He was wiping his sweat with his sleeves. Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind and then covered his eyes with his hand. I thought, who is this king? He released his blindfolded hand and looked back. Oh, my God, it's Andy Lau, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong! Wang opened his mouth in surprise. Andy Lau patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you tired from the audition? Go and have a rest! " The king finally came to his senses, where he neglected to rest, but couldn't wait to hold Andy Lau's inquisition.
Andy Lau saw that Wang was very formal. In order to get close to him, he began to teach him to play "magic cards" and dance Latin dance. Later, Andy Lau also taught Wang Xuexi to sing popular songs, such as Practice, lingering, the people of China, and the next life.
The next morning, Wang also met Rene Liu, and his face was red for half the sky. At that time, Rene Liu, who had just arrived in the crew, was standing in a beam of morning light reciting lines. As soon as she saw the king, she smiled at him tenderly. Then pull him aside to say the script and check his lines. Because in world without thieves, Rene Liu plays Wang's "elder sister", and Rene Liu really takes care of him as his younger brother, whether in or out of the play. On one occasion, Wang had to put on a thick cotton-padded jacket to shoot a winter drama in hot weather. He insisted on acting, but after a while, his face was still sweaty. After a play, careful Rene Liu blinked his beautiful eyes and asked with concern, "Silly brother, are you hot?" Wang said bluntly, "neither hot nor hot!" " Rene Liu suddenly laughed: "Silly boy, did you lie?" On the same day, Rene Liu didn't even eat lunch, so he asked someone to buy two ice packs and stuffed them in the interlayer of cotton-padded jacket for Wang.
As the filming went on day by day, the relationship between Rene Liu and Wang became more and more harmonious. In the movie, Wang has a scene that needs tears, but he can't cry. Especially anxious, the more anxious, the more nervous Wang is. Just when everyone was at a loss, Rene Liu gently pulled Wang aside and said to him in a slow and melancholy tone: The film is almost finished, and we will soon go our separate ways. I wonder if we can meet once a year! But as soon as this movie was released, people all over the world knew that we were brothers and sisters! "Words just say that finish, the king cried sadly! He is reluctant to leave this kind sister! As a result, the crying was successfully filmed!
In this way, with the help of major stars, Wang performed very well in world without thieves. Xiaogang Feng also said: "Bao Qiang is a very simple child. His eyes are full of simple things, which a trained actor can't do. I think highly of him. He has a bright future. If this play is going to be a hit, then he is the only one! "
Now, because world without thieves, starring Wang, is popular, many directors are looking for him to film. As the economic conditions have just improved a little, Wang went to the store to buy a dress for his mother. He also plans to save money to buy a house in Beijing after the economic conditions improve, and take his parents who have worked hard all their lives to live in Beijing. Now, Wang is not only the pride of the whole family, but almost everyone in his hometown is talking about Wang and his magical adventures and success.
