1972 65438+1On October 3rd, heavy snow fell and a Jiefang van drove to his school. In Beijing No.68 Middle School, Zhao Baogang and her classmates 17 got on the bus with their luggage. The school is in niujie, and there are actually five stops to Shougang, but he has never been there. Guang 'anmen was even outside Beijing at that time, so when the truck drove out of the campus, he suddenly felt that he was starting to leave the city. Everyone was very happy along the way, staying in Beijing and being assigned to a factory. It was very lucky at that time. For the first time in his life, he went to a steel mill, and the blast furnace and chimney of the steel mill were particularly spectacular under the cover of snow. At this time, he was sixteen years old and had just graduated from junior high school.
The next day, the chimney began to emit yellow smoke, and the ground was muddy after the snow melted. On this day, the master worker showed them around the factory. Arriving at the foundry, the master said: This is the most difficult place for Shougang. In addition to the regular workers in the team, people who make mistakes outside will also come here for labor reform. Zhao Baogang said to himself, don't send me here. But just out of the workshop gate, the master pointed to Zhao Baogang and another classmate and said, you two can work here in the future.
The hard living environment forced Zhao Baogang to find happy opportunities in his present life. When casting every product, he should use his brains to make it look better than others, so that the production itself becomes an aesthetic enjoyment, and then people praise him, which is another aesthetic enjoyment. Slowly, hard work turned into pleasure in pain. During this period, he became an outstanding person in Shougang technology. In all technical competitions of the same type of work and industry, it is always the first or second, and it has been rated as "advanced producer" for eight consecutive years and "new Long March attacker" for two consecutive years.
In recent years, some of the 17 students who went with Zhao Baogang lost their thighs, others died, and he almost lost his life because of industrial accidents several times. During this period, some knowledgeable and educated people came to Zhao Baogang's team to carry out labor reform. When he first came into contact with them, Zhao Baogang felt very fresh, but with the deepening of contact, he fell into deeper and deeper sorrow: he suddenly found himself a student with little knowledge. So, he secretly vowed: I must master a survival skill.
At that time, people in the literary and art circles stayed at home and had nothing to do, so they earned some extra money by taking students. With the help of friends, Zhao Baogang began to learn acting under the guidance of Xu Jing, an actor of Qingyi Theatre. In the process of learning, he suddenly found that his voice condition was very good, so he found another teacher and began to learn vocal music and western singing. Zhao Baogang spent seven years in the Working People's Cultural Palace, learning to sing and conduct. At that time, there were only 2 1 literary and art groups in Beijing. In the next few years, Zhao Baogang applied to every group, but he didn't get into one. One reason is that his vocal skills are not mastered enough to perform on stage immediately, and the other most important reason is that his image is too handsome, not the image of workers, peasants and soldiers. Zhao Baogang looked a lot like Lu Yi when he was young, but he was born at the wrong time.
Repeated rejections depressed Zhao Baogang to the extreme. At that time, Tiananmen Square was his favorite place to go. Sitting in the center of Tiananmen Square, looking at the statue of Chairman Mao, with his back to the monument, he began to daydream and sat there all night. One day, after sitting in Tiananmen Square for a while, he felt that there was no way out, so he decided to accept his fate and work in the factory for a lifetime. chapter two
At this time, the TV series "Four Generations in a Family" found Zhao Baogang and let him play the second child in the family. He was a cat in the pan. It turned out that his friend, an old actor of Bayi Film Studio, recommended him to the director Lin. Went to find Lin. As soon as Lin saw it, he asked him, have you read this book? Zhao Baogang said that I had already seen it. He said, do you think you can act? Zhao Baogang said I could act. I didn't expect Lin Dao's face to sink down at his voice. He is particularly unhappy. He asked Chen if he wanted to play, but after reading this book, he thought he couldn't play. How can you say that you can play? I must have offended the director, Zhao Baogang thought. So I left an address and left. Two months have passed without any news.
Soon, Zhao Baogang saw in the newspaper that Bayi Factory had launched "Four Generations under One Family", which listed the main actors, but did not write the actor who played the second child in the family. When he saw this scene, an idea flashed through Zhao Baogang's mind: Do I still have hope? Later, I denied it, and it was all turned on. Maybe the reporter forgot to write it, and the idea was over.
Another month passed, and one day, when Zhao Baogang came home from work, he just walked to the door and found a man squatting there. When he saw him, he asked, "Are you Zhao Baogang?" ? Zhao Baogang was right. He said that he was the assistant director of Four Generations under One roof, and Zhao Baogang's brain was hot when he was fooled. Then the man said, I have been looking for you for two months. Zhao Baogang said: I left my address for Director Lin. I saw him stuffed in his eye box. It turns out that Lin is an actor. I watched too much and forgot.
Everyone was here, but Lin Dao didn't say anything, so he decided to let his second child play Zhao Baogang's play. When he got there, he shaved his head first and a traitor's head in the middle, then put on makeup and cheongsam. Lin Dao thinks he is not thin enough. In fact, Zhao Baogang was only11kg at that time, and he couldn't be thinner, but the director told him to lose weight, because the description of the second child in the novel was: a shriveled little face.
I went back to Shougang for leave. The next day, Zhao Baogang took the luggage and lived in the "August 1st" factory. After staying, he quickly read the script and ignored anyone. Finally, one day the director found him. Director Lin pointed to him and said, come here, second child. Zhao Baogang said, what's wrong with me? Lin Dao said: You are so outrageous. Why are you so big? Why do you ignore anyone in the group? Zhao Baogang said, I'm preparing the script. So, that night, director Lin called all the actors who played the old man, mother and father into a room. Director Lin said to Zhao Baogang, now tell me, what's going on with you and your father? What is the relationship between everyone in this room? Zhao Baogang is particularly fluent in saying that the relationship between each character is clear. After that, Director Lin said, well, it's not bad, so I don't know what happened.
Zhao Baogang's plays will be filmed in seven days, and there will be three plays on the first day. On that day, the crew went, 100 people, because everyone wanted to know why an amateur actor was hired for such a heavy play. But it happened that another director of Lin directed the play that day. He didn't know Zhao Baogang and bullied the couple. There is a scene like this: Qi Jia's second child ran and shouted: The Japanese are coming, and the result slammed into the wall. The director deliberately made things difficult for others, and seven shots were taken in this scene. Finally, Zhao Baogang hit all his arms, and that was the end. After three games, everyone commented that the performance was good. Zhao Baogang was relieved. When we watched the first batch of samples, the whole crew got the following comments: in grasping the characters, the actor who plays the old man is the first, and Zhao Baogang is the second. One night, the director who helped Zhao Baogang came to his dormitory and said, Let's go out for a drink, and I'll buy you a drink.
In Four Generations under One roof, the role of the old son completely conquered the director and audience, and Zhao Baogang suffered a lot for it, but that kind of suffering was nothing compared with his work in Shougang, and his experience was at the bottom, so all the sufferings after that were nothing to him. Today, he always helps to move things on the spot, which is a habit he has developed for many years. Set up the rail car, he will help lift it, and he will help lift the table if it is moved. He will always be a director who works on the spot. The staff who worked with him all said: Director Zhao always works on the spot. Zhao Baogang said that this is a habit he has developed for many years and will never be erased in his life.
