From the grassroots to tens of billions of actors, he played a bad hand of cards to the king
Back then, Wang Baoqiang was ridiculed by the group during the interview, "You look like this, no one wants to be a group performer, go back to the countryside to farm!"
Wang Baoqiang was born in a rural family in Xingtai, Hebei Province in 1982, with four brothers and sisters.
At the age of 20, he traveled to Beijing to pursue his film dream. When he first arrived in Beijing, he worked as a cement maker and brick mover to earn a living.
With a salary of about 20 yuan a month, Wang Baoqiang quickly spent the 500 yuan he brought from home, and he couldn't even afford to eat, so he wrote home and asked his father for 200 yuan.
After discussing with the family, the father decided to give his son an extra 100 yuan. put the money in the pocket of his winter cotton clothes and sent it, and wrote a letter to Wang Baoqiang himself.
Baoqiang, you are a good boy, blame your father for not being able to take care of your brothers and sisters! You work hard outside, and we will always care about you.
After reading this letter, Wang Baoqiang was ashamed and wept bitterly, and at this time, he secretly decided: come out of nowhere and never contact his family again!
After that, he decisively quit his job and began to work hard for his film dream.
He often squatted at the door of the "Beijing Film Studio" to see if there was a chance to take the job.
Once, he squatted for a day and didn't get a job. When I was hungry and cold, I accidentally found that there was still a dollar in my pocket.
Wang Baoqiang used it to buy 5 white steamed buns, and he didn't dare to drink water after eating them in one go, for fear that he would die.
When he walked home, he found that his feet were blistered.
The physical exhaustion can barely be endured, but how can the inner wounds be healed?
When interviewing various crews, he was often ridiculed, "You don't learn this, you don't have resources, you don't have resources, you have no looks, you have nothing." Give up before it's too late! Wang Baoqiang, who said a few words, was speechless.
But he secretly competed in his heart: "If you say I can't do it, I must show it to you!" ”
Since then, he has worked harder to run the crew.
No matter how bad the shooting environment was, no matter how ridiculed by others, he never gave up.
Until an accident changed his fate.
In 2002, director Li Yang planned to shoot the movie "Blind Well".
In the play, the role of Yuan Fengming was originally set to be a good person, but because he had to go to the mine to shoot, many actors were worried about their own safety and temporarily regretted it. At this time, Wang Baoqiang, who was doing a group performance, recommended himself: "Director, I'm not afraid, I have practiced kung fu in Shaolin Temple." “
The director thought he was quite suitable, so he agreed to let him try. After the movie aired, the response was quite good. Wang Baoqiang was also well-known to the public for the first time because of this movie.
After that, he starred in many film and television works such as "No Thieves in the World" and "Soldier Attack", and became an instant hit!
After becoming famous, someone asked him, "What do you think of the people who laugh at you?"
"No matter what others say, it's enough for me to be myself," he said. It is said that "luck is part of strength".
In my opinion, "there is not enough strength, luck comes, and you can't catch it."
