At the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, there is an actor whose acting career has been full of twists and turns, but he counterattacked in the ups and downs, bringing an unexpected performance feast to the audience. This actor is Dong Yong.
From the martial arts of the Peking Opera Company to the helplessness during the Beipiao period, Dong Yong's acting career was not all smooth sailing. When he was 10 years old, he began to learn this traditional art in the atmosphere of Peking Opera. However, for his parents, he didn't seem to be suitable for the road to university, so he entered the Peking Opera Company to work and lived an "iron rice bowl" life in the system. But Dong Yong was not satisfied with the status quo, and his pursuit of art led him to finally embark on the path of an actor.
During the period of North Drift, Dong Yong experienced the heat and coldness of the world, from field affairs to salesman, and earned the first pot of gold in his hand. However, he was caught in a difficult time, and his acting career was not as easy as he imagined. In **, the director gave him only one word - "next time". As time went on, he couldn't even afford to pay for the call, and only had 10 yuan on him. During those days, Dong Yong felt the cruelty of life, but because of the help of his friends, he was able to get through the difficulties.
In 1998, the drama composition of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" became a new starting point for Dong Yong. While waiting, he was photographed by the lead actor Lee Seong-ru and the director, and although he was not initially selected, he eventually succeeded in winning the role with perseverance and persistence. During this period, he emerged with the image of the criminal police in "Six Groups of Serious Cases" and "Black Hole", and became a "professional police household" in everyone's mouth.
However, people began to find out that Dong Yong seemed to be fixed in the role of a police officer, and at one time some people thought that he could only play this type. It wasn't until 2016 that he received an offer to play the leading role in "** Marshal", which was a completely different attempt. He successfully performed the image of a great man, winning the recognition of the audience and the nomination for the Feitian Award. However, starring opportunities became scarce after that, and he focused on his family.
Dong Yong's personal life is also twisted and bizarre. After a failed marriage, he became disheartened and lost confidence in remarrying. However, with the support and care of his family, he met his current wife, Zheng Jiayan. The two met at a family gathering, and Dong Yong developed a crush on her. After some hard work, he finally won Zheng Jiayan's heart, and the two officially married in 2014.
As he grew older, Dong Yong left the bustling city of Beijing and chose to return to his hometown of Hangzhou to become a dutiful son. He went abroad to film the day after his marriage, and his wife Zheng Jiayan understood and supported him. At the age of 47, he ushered in his fatherhood as a loving father to his daughters.
However, at the peak of his acting career, Dong Yong expressed some dissatisfaction at a recent press conference. In "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai, he encountered another challenge in his acting career. Even though he has more than 30 years of acting experience, he has felt the strict requirements of the director, and he has filmed dozens of times.
This gave him a huge shock to his beliefs, but at the same time, it also showed his responsible attitude towards the audience. This drama subverted the audience's perception of Dong Yong, showed his different acting style, and became a highlight in the actor's career.
Dong Yong's story tells us that the road of an actor is full of ups and downs, but as long as you persist and work hard, you will always usher in a turnaround. Through the portrayal of multiple roles, he successfully broke the shackles of a specific image and showed a versatile actor. Inside and outside the entertainment industry, his achievements are not only noble artistic pursuits, but also the responsibility of filial piety for his family.
Overall, Dong Yong's story is a typical saga of an actor who eventually succeeded through perseverance, hard work, and constant trying. He has struck a balance between family and career, and has become a well-respected actor in the entertainment industry.
