Hou Changrong played two roles in the 87 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", one is the upright and wealthy King of Beijing;The other is the chic and uninhibited Liu Xianglian. Because he was so dramatic, many people didn't see that King Beijing was also played by Hou Changrong, and only remembered the extremely handsome Leng Erlang.
Hou Changrong, who was born in the 60s, was born in drama and specialized in small life. Nowadays, he has many shining titles, such as a national first-class actor, a member of the Chinese Dramatists Association, and a successor of the Yangju Golden School.
The influential 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has almost made the audience remember every actor in it, except for Jia Baoyu, the twelve hairpins of the Red Mansion, and those cute, lively, or tragic maids, many characters are impressive, including the ranger Quartet and the unruly Liu Xianglian.
The two most handsome actors in the play at that time were naturally Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu's appearance was also much inferior in front of them, and now the "first handsome guy in the Red Mansion" is "undecided".
Liu Xianglian, played by Hou Changrong, is cold-hearted and vicious. That is, he dared to say to Jia Baoyu: "Your Jia family, that is, the two stone lions at the door are clean." This kind of remark made Jia Baoyu blush, because he was also a member of the Jia family.
Liu Xianglian's most appearances are that he tricked Xue Pan out and beat him, and Xue Pan was almost killed by him. But later, he saved Xue Pan when he met the thief.
At this time, Jia Lian met them and talked about Third Sister You, Jia Lian praised Third Sister You for her beauty, Liu Xianglian agreed to get married, and made her own saber as a token for Jia Lian to bring to Third Sister You.
Who knew that he heard the rumors that Third Sister You ** decided to withdraw from the marriage, but Jia Lian persuaded him hard, but he insisted on going his own way. Third Sister You knew that this matter was irreparable, so she took advantage of the time to return the sword, drew her sword and killed herself.
Crushed peach blossoms are all over the ground, and it is difficult to help the jade mountain when it falls." At this time, Liu Xianglian felt regretful, but it was too late, Third Sister You had already died, and she was powerless to return to heaven.
After this incident, he became insane due to pain, lost the direction and meaning of life, and was later enlightened by a lame Taoist priest and became a monk with him, and the world did not know his whereabouts.
It is said that for fear of wasting Hou Changrong's handsome appearance, the director felt that Liu Xianglian's role was too few, so he also gave him the role of King Beijing. Not to mention, if someone hadn't mentioned it, few people would have found that King Beijing and Liu Xianglian were played by the same person.
The king of Beijing is a relative of the emperor, and when he met Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu appreciated it very much. He compared the relationship between Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng as "the young phoenix is clear in the voice of the old phoenix", praised Jia Baoyu for surpassing Jia Zheng in the future, and also gave Jia Baoyu the emperor his own wagtail incense strings, which shows how good he is treated. Hou Changrong acted decently and respectfully.
It is precisely because of his performance in "Dream of Red Mansions" that he embarked on the road of an actor. At the same time, in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", he also got an unexpected joy, the actress Chen Jianyue, who played Xiangling, fell in love with him, and achieved positive results in the crew and became a good match.
Until now, the husband and wife for more than 30 years are still said to be in love.
Hou Changrong later played a lot of TV series roles, especially in recent years, and he became more and more perfect.
A few years ago, in the TV series "Sweeping the Black Storm", he played Secretary Zhao of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was calm and capable, sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh, and free.
In "Nine Righteous People", Lou Xianggong, who avenged the people's grievances, was upright and decisive, and cleaned up the villain Wu Lian played by Qiao Zhenyu.
In the recently popular ancient puppet drama "Sauvignon Blanc", he played King Xiyan, who is eloquent, loving, amiable, warm and domineering, and is a very cute old man.
Although Liu Xianglian is no longer as handsome as he was back then, he is now playing wider and acting better.
If you haven't watched the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", you must revisit it, Liu Xianglian and King Beijing are worth savoring and appreciating slowly.
