In the tide of the Internet in 2012, a web drama directed by Li Yan "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: 20 Years of the Underworld" was born. This drama is not an ordinary entertainment product, but an adaptation of Kong Ergou's feature-length story of the same name**, which truly reflects the social changes in the Northeast in the past two decades. Beneath the bloody surface, there are countless ordinary people's fates and struggles.
In the cast of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", although there are no big-name stars, there is a group of powerful people who have emerged because of this drama. Today, although the show has disappeared from major online platforms, the characters and actors in it are still often mentioned. Just recently, Jin Cheng, the actor of "Three Flat Melons" in the play, and Han Zhang, the actor of "Zhang Yue", met in the live broadcast.
The two old friends got together and recalled the bits and pieces of the shooting, and there were many interesting stories. Although they are only supporting roles in the play, every action and every line has left a deep impression on the audience. Over the years, the actors in the play have gone to different life trajectories. Some have passed away, some are still unknown, and some have been recognized by the public with their acting skills in this drama.
Zhao Hongbing, played by Zhang Junhan, is a courageous character who values love and righteousness. After he was discharged from the army, he was dissatisfied with the extravagance and waste of the leader and injured him, thus losing his job. The fate of fate made him and Zhang Yue and Li.
Fourth, Xiao Ji and others became "brothers in life and death". With the passage of time, Zhao Hongbing has become a well-known "black boss" in Northeast China with his vigorous skills and calm spirit.
Zhang Junhan, a man from the Northeast, perfectly interprets the role of Zhao Hongbing. His acting skills go deep into the bone marrow and perfectly show the character's bloodiness and righteousness. However, after "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", Zhang Junhan's acting career did not seem to be as smooth as people expected. Although he has participated in many hit dramas, such as "The Legend of Guangfu Taiji" and "Serious Case Six Group 4", his role has gradually changed from a leading role to a supporting role, and slowly faded out of people's sight.
In fact, before starring in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", Zhang Junhan already had rich acting experience. He has played roles in many TV series, and he can be seen in popular dramas such as "The Legend of Guangfu Taiji" and "Six Groups of Serious Cases 4". And "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" made him the focus of attention, and then he starred in the "Good Men of the Tang Dynasty" series. Although these dramas are not big productions, Zhang Junhan's acting talent has been fully developed. It's a pity that now his acting career seems to be in trouble, his resources are getting less and less, and he has changed from a protagonist to a supporting role, and is gradually forgotten.
However, Zhang Junhan did not give up his acting dream. He continues to work hard and portray every role with solid acting skills. Despite the unpredictable changes in the entertainment industry, he is still firmly on his path. No matter what the future holds, Zhang Junhan's performance in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: 20 Years of the Underworld" will always remain in the hearts of the audience. In the drama "Article 22 Marriage Rules", which also caused a boom in that era, the cooperation between Zhang Junhan and Huang Shengyi became a topic of conversation among the audience. And when he partnered with Sun Li in "The Legend of Miyue" and played his half-brother Wei Ran, his acting skills were once again affirmed. However, with the passage of time, Zhang Junhan's popularity gradually declined, and he could only play supporting roles in some lesser-known film and television works.
It wasn't until the release of the "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" series of movies that people remembered Zhang Junhan again. Whether it is "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast, My Name is Liu Haizhu" or "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast, My Name is Huang Zhonghua", they all won the applause of the audience. And the upcoming "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast, My Name is Zhao Hongbing" also makes people look forward to him, and I believe that he will become popular again. Zhang Junhan in life is a casual, humorous, and masculine person, and his cooperation with Wang Xinling also makes people feel his authenticity and unpretentiousness.
Another impressive character is Little Beijing, played by Zhang Jingwei. He has a deep friendship with Zhao Hongbing, not only eloquence, but also the brains of the team. Although he seems casual on the outside, he is full of responsibility on the inside. In the series, he cleaned up the three squirrels that broke into the hotel, and single-handedly sought revenge on them after Zhao Shanhe committed violence against them. Zhang Jingwei successfully portrayed the role of Little Beijing with his excellent acting skills.
In reality, Zhang Jingwei is a powerful actor. After becoming popular for the role of Little Beijing, he cooperated with Ma Yili in "Little Dad" and played her younger brother Li Sandi. His real acting skills have won him the recognition of many directors, and he has successively participated in many popular dramas such as "Great Qin Empire 3", "Get Out", "New World" and "Layout". In "Get Out", his cooperation with Chen Kun is not inferior in any way, which perfectly interprets the momentum of Chief Chu;In "New World", although he played Ma Tianfang, the leader of the Secret Bureau, was inconspicuous, he vividly portrayed a vivid villain.
Although Zhang Jingwei plays mostly small roles, he makes each role exude a unique appeal with his excellent acting skills and ability to shape characters. He firmly believes that every actor is a new self in every play, and he uses this belief to interpret every role. Actor Zhang Jingwei, with superb acting skills, has been active on the screen for many years, but he is always a little bit of luck and has not become popular. In life, he is a witty and low-key person, he can switch between Tangshan dialect and Beijing dialect freely, which makes people laugh out loud. He is looking forward to an opportunity that will allow him to shine in show business.
Gao Huan, a woman who was deeply attracted to Zhao Hongbing, although she was born in a scholarly family, she couldn't resist the bloody charm of Zhao Hongbing. Even if Zhao Hongbing was imprisoned, she still insisted on waiting. Song Wenfei, who plays Gao Huan, has a bad fate. She started filming commercials at the age of 18 to pay off her father's debts, suffered domestic violence during confinement at the age of 25, and died of cancer at the age of 27. She has had a strong interest in dance since she was a child, and at the age of 10 she went to Shanghai to start her professional training, dreaming of becoming a good dancer.
In 2003, 18-year-old Song Wenfei emerged as a professional dancer in advertising, and since then resources have gradually become abundant, and economic conditions have also improved significantly. She won numerous opportunities with her excellent temperament and dancing skills, and bought a house for her parents. By chance, she participated in the interview for "Dancer", and was caught by screenwriter Hai Yan at a glance and became a high-profile "Rock Girl", and then participated in many TV series such as "In That Distant Place" and "Still Looking at the Present Dynasty".
Just when his career was in full swing, Song Wenfei met the young rich man Li Daan. Under the romantic offensive, the two got married, and Song Wenfei gradually faded out of the entertainment industry. However, during her pregnancy, she suffered from Li Daan's domestic violence and chose to tolerate it for the sake of her child, but this made Li Daan even more rampant. In the end, Song Wenfei decided to leave with her son, but because she had no financial **, she had to return to the entertainment industry. With the role of Gao Huan in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", she once again gained attention and popularity. However, during the filming of "Looking for the North", she felt unwell.
This time, fate did not favor her again, and she passed away on February 3, 2013. What she left behind is endless regrets and endless stories ......In the hospital's diagnostic room, Song Wenfei heard the shocking news that she had uterine cancer. The news was like a bolt from the blue, but in order not to delay the filming progress of the crew, she chose to bear it silently. Every day, she shows up on time on the set and faces everything with a smile and tenacity.
Four months passed like a white horse, but the cancer spread silently, and Song Wenfei endured the pain silently. It's a pity that she missed the best opportunity, and at the age of 27, she left us like this. At her funeral, Li Daan and her mother did not show up, and her son was sent to a welfare home, which makes people feel heartache about what happened to her.
On the other side, there is Zhang Yue, who is known as the "Eight Brothers" in the rivers and lakes. He is known for his ruthlessness, and he will relentlessly respond to those who dare to provoke him. Whether it is the ruffian Zhang Haoran or Lu Wei of the Railway Gang, they have all tasted the bitterness under his words and deeds. Zhang Yue is righteous and always stands up for his brothers, but such a character also makes him into countless troubles.
Han Zhang, the actor of Zhang Yue, is a Northeast man. After graduating from Beijing Film in 2009, he devoted himself to drama performance. 's unique ruthlessness and handsome appearance made him Zhang Yue in the hearts of the audience. In "The Power of Youth", he changed his previous image and became a volunteer teacher. And in "The Woman Between the Grids", he is a phoenix man in a foreign company. Although he has performed well in many film and television dramas, he has never been able to become popular.
In recent years, Han Zhang has gradually faded out of the screen and changed his career to engage in performing arts training. He hopes to pass on his experience and knowledge to more people. On the short ** platform, he has attracted many fans with his handsomeness and domineering. If he has more resources and opportunities, I believe he will shine again.
Finally, there is Sun Dawei, the weakest of the eight in combat, but his eloquence is unmatched. At the negotiating table, he can always fight for the best interests of his brothers with his incorruptible tongue. Although he seems timid and afraid, he can always stick a knife in his brother's ribs at critical moments. The actor who plays Sun Dawei is named Zhang Yu, and he uses his acting skills to interpret the unique charm of this role. Zhang Yu, a talented actor and director, graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy. Although his appearance is not outstanding, his grades are excellent and he is favored by his teachers. When he was still in school, he had already participated in many TV series, such as "Police Appointment" and "The Sky of History".
After graduation, Zhang Yu took over the filming of TV series such as "Who Is Our Old Zhang" and "The Road of the World". Although most of the roles he plays are supporting roles, he takes every role very seriously. It wasn't until 2011 that his role as Fat Si in "Beijing Love Story" made him begin to attract the attention of the audience. His humorous and witty acting style was a huge hit, and his status as the show's assistant director also contributed to it.
After that, Zhang Yu continued his career as an actor while starting his work as a director. "Kunlun Divine Palace", "Layout", "Positive Life" and other film and television dramas are his works, and they have all won the love of the audience. He can not only write songs, write screenplays, but also direct, and be versatile. In life, he is low-key and unassuming, and although he rarely interacts with the audience, each of his works is loved by the audience.
For Zhang Yu, his career has been on the rise, and his expectations for the future are clear. He hopes to work with his former brothers to create the second part of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" and continue to tell those touching stories.
And another actor worth introducing is Liu Haizhu, played by Xu Juncong. His image of "yellow rubber shoes, cropped pants, professional mage bangs", "goatee, lost steps, car repair shop at the entrance of the middle school" impressed netizens. Although he is a supporting role most of the time in the show, his highlight moments are compelling.
The image in the play is full of personality, not only the style of "the exit is the quintessence of the country", but also the heroic performance of chasing Huang Lao's evil fight, which makes the audience happy to watch. And his sincerity and strong combat effectiveness with his friends are even more commendable.
Xu Juncong, a man from the Northeast, was born in a family of laid-off workers, and his family conditions were not wealthy. In order to ease the burden on his family, he used to sing in dance halls to earn money. Luckily, his colleagues spotted his acting talent and recommended him to study acting. Later, he was admitted to Nanjing University of the Arts with his talent and ability, and his academic performance during the school has always been among the best. After graduating, I devoted myself to the vast world of drama. In 2012, I participated in my first TV series "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", and my role as Liu Haizhu won me wide attention from the audience. At that time, everyone thought I was a tough guy and a "ruthless character". But in fact, my comedic talent gradually showed.
I have participated in many comedy variety shows such as "Let's Laugh Together", "Laughing Proud Jianghu" and "Life is Laughing", and my sense of humor made me quickly emerge. The audience began to get to know me as a person who was full of laughter, and I made a name for myself in the process. In 2016, I signed with Big Bowl Entertainment, a decision that further elevated my standing in the comedy world.
I have participated in a number of films, such as "Demon Bell", "Big Red Envelope" and "Hello, Li Huanying", and my characters in the film show a distinct comedic character. My talent and charm have gradually been recognized by more people, and Jia Ling has taken me on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for five consecutive years. Netizens are speculating whether I will become the next bright star in the comedy industry and shine like Shen Teng.
Today, I've firmly established myself in the world of comedy. As long as it is a film and television work starring me, it will definitely bring endless laughter to the audience. Whether it's "Big Brother, Don't Make a Noise" or "Mozart in Outer Space", I can make the audience feel my unique sense of humor. In life, I like to shoot jokes and show my acting talent, and the audience will be attracted by my charm as long as they see my face.
I know that today's success is inseparable from my own efforts, but at the same time, I have never forgotten the support and help of Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei. I am truly grateful for their companionship and encouragement on my comedy journey. In the days to come, I will continue to work hard to become a better comedian.
As for the role of Huang Laoxi, he is indeed a legendary figure. He is famous in the rivers and lakes, and although his martial arts are not outstanding, he is definitely one of the best experts in posturing. He can not only compete with Sun Dawei in culture, but also seduce Mao Qin for personal desires. His personality is unique and unforgettable.
The actor Tang Ning, who plays Huang Laoxi, is also a talented and powerful actor. He has participated in dozens of film and television works, but he has never been able to become popular. Downing graduated from a professional acting academy, and he has worked as a presenter and voice actor, which has laid a solid foundation for his future acting career. No matter how big or small the role is, he can put his heart and soul into it, and interpret the role to the fullest. It's a pity that the entertainment industry is always full of uncertainties, and some actors may not be able to usher in the peak of their careers after working hard all their lives.
But even so, Tang Ning is still firmly on the road of acting, using his acting skills and talent to infect every audience. On the long road of acting, Tangning moved forward step by step. Because of his slightly plump appearance and honest face, he mostly plays an honest man, a soldier or a small boss on the screen. In the TV series "Heart Art", he played Liu Mingkang, and in "Live with a Smile", he incarnated as Er Fat, and he performed every role vividly.
In the past two years, Tang Ning has been active on the screen again, he has had an outstanding performance in "The End of the Counterfeiter", and in "Mountain Song", his cooperation with Wang Like is even more eye-catching. Now, he has shifted his focus to the short ** platform, often filming funny jokes, and connecting with his old friends "Three Flat Melons", "Zhang Yue" and others to awaken the audience's memory.
Although there are few impressive big horns in the characters played by Tang Ning, the role of Huang Laoxie has become his trademark. And the other roles in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" are also classics, and many actors are still sticking to their acting careers. After Li Si's actor Luo Ming became popular in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", he successively participated in works such as "The Legend of Chu and Han" and "Step by Step Abyss", but he has never been able to create brilliance. However, in the past two years, works such as "Qing Pingle" and "The Rest of Your Eyes Are You" have once again attracted attention to his handsome image.
Jin Sung, the actor of the Three Flats, opened a restaurant and communicated with the audience through live webcasts every day. He also promised to reunite his brothers and shoot funny jokes. Wang Yimiao, the actor of the third sister, cooperated with Li Yifeng in "Ancient Sword Strange Tan" after filming "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast", and then disappeared. With her image and temperament, if she continues to devote herself to her acting career, she will definitely shine. Li Xintong, the actor of Mao Qin, disappeared from public view after playing this role. According to Tang Ning, Li Xintong is married and currently lives in Shenzhen.
Li Yang's actor Yuan Jing is still struggling in the entertainment industry, and also participated in "Hello, An Yi" last year. Although she is not well-known, she is quite rich in resources. Xiao Ji's actor Fan Junhan has been out of the entertainment industry for a long time, and Fei Si's actor died in a car accident according to Jin Cheng. In the ten years since "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" was broadcast, the life trajectories of these actors have been different, but their roles have always remained in the hearts of the audience.
In this complex world, everyone's fate is like a drama of ups and downs, changing all the time. Someone quietly disappeared from public view and was never heard from again;Someone suffers misfortune and dies, leaving behind endless grief. However, there are also some people who have made a name for themselves in the film and television industry with their excellent acting skills.
Although the web drama "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" is somewhat bloody and violent in terms of visual effects, it successfully portrays many distinct characters that are unforgettable. Because of this, the audience's expectations for "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast 2" are also heating up, hoping to see the sequel to this series as soon as possible.
