Famous villain artist-Mr. Liu
He went to the society to make a living very early. He was an apprentice and a worker in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Liu Jiang likes literature and art since he was a child, and is particularly interested in movies and plays. Joined Harbin Beidou Amateur Experimental Troupe at the age of sixteen. He once played a minor role in plays such as The Eve of the Incident, A Letter for 100,000 Yuan, Escape, and Sadness at the End of Youth. 1946, the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces liberated Harbin, and Liu Jiang participated in the literary and art work group of the Political Department of Songjiang Military Region. He has played various positive and negative roles in operas and yangko operas, such as White-haired Girl, Mutual Assistance between the Army and the People, Injury of Niu Yonggui, Harvest, Return of Qian Yongfu and so on. And all kinds of soldiers, squad leaders, instructors, landlords, puppet army officers and so on. At the end of the same year, Liu Jiang was incorporated into the literary propaganda team of the political department of the 34 th division of the field army 12 column with the literary and art work group. He started as a propagandist and later served as the captain and vice captain of the propaganda team. During the three years' war of liberation, Liu Jiang not only performed such plays as White-haired Girl, Revenge with Blood and Tears, Liu Hulan, Family, Growing Up in the Battle, but also participated in the battles of attacking Dehui, Siping, besieging Changchun, liberating Shenyang, Ping Jin and Hengbao. He withstood the severe test of the revolutionary war and grew into a conscious revolutionary literary fighter. 1949 10 month, joined China.
1952, Liu Jiang was transferred from the Art Team of the Second Division of the Field Army to the Military Art Theater of the Central South Military Region (now the Guangzhou Military Region Theater). Since then, he has become a full-time actor. During this period, he successively performed Chinese and foreign dramas such as Who's Attacking, Unknown Hero, Double Marriage, Dawn of Moscow, Guild Wars on the Coast, Before the arrival of the new director, and played the roles of capitalist, landlord, enemy spy, senior enemy general, bureaucrat, mine manager and director. Frequent stage performance practice not only significantly improved Liu Jiang's performance level and artistic accomplishment, but also laid the foundation for him to enter the film industry. From 65438 to 0958, Liu Jiang transferred from Guangzhou Military Region Drama Troupe to Bayi Film Studio and began his career as a film actor.
Over the past twenty years, he has participated in the shooting of more than ten films, such as Welcome to the Sea, Hui Detachment, Chifeng, Breakthrough of Wujiang River, Ordos Storm, Bitter Cabbage Flower, Tunnel War, Sparkling Red Star and Fire Baby. Successfully created a series of negative characters with distinctive personalities. Become one of the film actors in China who is famous for playing villains.
Liu Jiang has no special training in drama and film performance. The reason why he can create vivid negative images such as Captain Chifeng, Commander Tang in Tunnel Warfare and Sparkling Red Star mainly depends on long-term stage practice and rich life accumulation. For example, when playing the role of Hu Hansan, he mobilized a lot of life accumulation related to this image. In particular, the atrocities he heard and witnessed in the tug-of-war area in Northeast China, such as the return of his hometown group, burning, killing and looting, and the fascinating image of a bully, landlord and bandit in Guangxi, serve as the basis for shaping the characters. As a result, the image of Hu Hansan, a restoration fanatic, jumped onto the screen, leaving a very deep impression on people.
When Liu Jiang plays all kinds of villains, he not only tries to avoid facial makeup, but also pays great attention to the characteristics of each role and strives to be a thousand people. His roles as Captain Ying Hai Zheng and Commander of Chifeng Fortress are both senior officers of the Kuomintang, and the two films were shot at the same time, so it is easy to be similar. However, due to Liu Jiang's careful and in-depth analysis of the different experiences, upbringing and personality characteristics of these two characters, he grasped the different personality tone of the characters. As a result, one was a Kuomintang officer, arrogant and cunning, and the other was blind and incoherent. Not only does he have no sense of repetition, but each character has his own full flesh and blood and becomes a living "this one".
