He is well-known for his gentle and decent image, but he frequently plays roles that make the audience "hateful", so he has become everyone's unforgettable "villain professional".
He didn't step into the world of love until he was almost 40 years old, but soon had to end the relationship early.
The 53-year-old Yao Gang now lives alone in a mansion worth tens of millions, but he has always been alone, and it seems that he is gradually embarking on another bright road.
Yao Gang, a man born in Dalian in 1970, was born into a military family, his father was a police officer, and his uncle was a soldier. However, despite growing up in such a family environment, Yao Gang developed a strong interest in art.
Yao Gang's friend conquered the hearts of girls with his singing voice on campus, and Yao Gang also wanted to learn singing from him, but in fact it was only out of competition.
At first, his parents thought he was just joking, so they agreed to let him study**, but then Yao Gang really had the idea of changing careers to study**, but his parents disagreed, because they thought that art majors were not serious.
Yao Gang's family background is average, and he has no talent for **. At first, he worked very hard, often going to the theater as an audience member, concentrating on the details of the stage performance. However, as time went by, he gradually found that he was not suitable for **, so he fell into confusion.
After thinking about it carefully, Yao Gang decided to develop into acting, and his uncle suggested that he could choose the path of an actor, Yao Gang followed his uncle's advice, and was finally admitted to the art troupe as a literary soldier.
Yao Gang was given the reputation of "handsome guy in the army" because of his handsome appearance in the army, and after retiring from the army, he decided to stay in Beijing to develop and entered the entertainment industry to become a young actor.
When he first arrived in Beijing, life was difficult, and he had to live in a dark and damp basement. Yao Gang is a newcomer and has no background, so he has been playing tricks all the time.
** And His Son" is Yao Gang's first TV series, in which he plays the role of Mao Anying. Although Yao Gang's performance was remarkable, it did not cause much repercussions.
Just when he thought he was on the verge of success, the harsh reality taught him a profound lesson. In the years that followed, Yao Gang's unsatisfactory work made him disillusioned with himself and the industry as a whole, and he gradually began to doubt his choice.
After Yao Gang left Beijing and returned to Dalian, he opened a restaurant. Despite a thriving business, he couldn't let go of his passion and dreams for acting.
A senior literary and artistic veteran in Beijing visited Yao Gang's shop, and the two had a very speculative conversation, and the senior encouraged Yao Gang not to give up his dream easily. After careful consideration, Yao Gang decided to re-embark on the journey of the entertainment industry.
Yao Gang is well aware of his strengths, so he deliberately chose to play some "villain roles", a decision that made him successful, but also caused some unnecessary trouble.
Yao Gang is a student of Dalian Art Institute, his elegant and decent appearance, coupled with his outstanding acting talent, has made him obtain a certain "dragon set of resources".
Yao Gang starred in the TV series "Peacock Flying Southeast" in 2003 as the villain Gao Bingchen, which was well received by the audience, and this success gradually opened his way to becoming a villain in the TV industry.
Yao Gang has starred in various sinister and cunning villains in many hit dramas, such as Peng Ruixiang in "Aunt Duohe" and Pang Taishi in "New Bao Qingtian: Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness".
Yao Gang rose to fame for his villain role, but he was also labeled as unusual.
One day, Yao Gang was wandering alone on the street when he was suddenly stopped by an old lady in a flower dress. The old lady pointed at his nose and scolded, "I know you, you are the villain on TV!" ”
The elderly lady was often obsessed with TV dramas, and Yao Gang's villain in the play deeply affected her, so much so that when she met him in person, she mistakenly thought he was the character in the play, and wronged him.
Yao Gang made an embarrassing explanation, and the old lady realized the misunderstanding at this time, apologized again and again and left. This interesting incident made Yao Gang reflect on whether he was too limited to villains on his acting career.
Yao Gang has made progress in his career, but his relationship is chaotic. Now approaching 40 years old, his love life is still blank. Until the appearance of a woman brought meaning to his life.
In 2009, when Yao Gang participated in the filming of "Non-Biological Sisters", he fell in love with the heroine Wen Zhengrong at first sight, and the two had a good impression when they were playing in the crew, and after the finale, they continued this relationship to real life.
Yao Gang cherishes this relationship very much, and Wen Zhengrong's atmosphere and temperament make him deeply admired. After more than a year of dating, Yao Gang made up his mind to propose to Wen Zhengrong.
Although Wen Zhengrong rejected Yao Gang's marriage proposal, she still hoped to continue to develop her career, and said that she hoped to wait for another two years. Although Yao Gang felt sad, he respected her decision.
After Yao Gang's marriage proposal failed, Wen Zhengrong was busy with drama filming and publicity, and Yao Gang also needed to run around filming. The two have been separated from each other for many years, spending less and less time to see each other, and the calls have become more and more rusty and cold.
Gradually, Wen Zhengrong began to feel that Yao Gang was too conservative and old-fashioned, and Yao Gang also found that Wen Zhengrong's lifestyle was incompatible with him.
After the filming of a TV series, Yao Gang suddenly wanted to visit Wen Zhengrong, but he was surprised to find that she had moved out of her original residence. In fact, without his knowledge, Wen Zhengrong was already living with a ** producer.
Yao Gang was shocked to find that the relationship between the two had already broken down, Wen Zhengrong's heart had left, and he understood that it could no longer be recovered.
Yao Gang was depressed after the breakup, immersed in alcohol and cigarettes all day long, and did not even allow his friends to mention Wen Zhengrong's name, and his friends were both surprised and helpless.
After three years, Yao Gang finally overcame the shadow of the breakup and returned to the public eye again.
Yao Gang believes that feelings are not allowed to be improvised, and he must find someone who shares his heart. Wen Zhengrong is the only person he has liked for decades, and although the relationship is short, it makes him unforgettable.
Many friends advised him to start a relationship again, but he always smiled and said: "I have exhausted my love talent in Wen Zhengrong, and it may be difficult to devote myself to it again." ”
Today, the 53-year-old Yao Gang is still living his life on his own terms, concentrating on his acting career. He was willing to help others and fund some art groups, but material wealth could not make up for the emptiness in Yao Gang's heart.
In the dead of night, Yao Gang always recalls the good times when he and Wen Zhengrong laughed and walked in the lakeside park, and those sweet images in the sun are still clearly visible today, but they can never be reproduced.
Yao Gang always smiled at the problems of **'s private life and never revealed any information. Perhaps he has accepted everything in the past, or is waiting for his fate.
Yao Gang once said that if fate has not yet come, he will devote his time and energy to a broader cause. Whether or not you can meet true love again, life goes on, and instead of dwelling in the past, it is better to live in the present.
Yao Gang lives alone, and he invested in a mansion worth tens of millions, but he is the only one living in this house. When he returns home, will he feel lonely, facing an empty room?
Everyone has their unique lifestyle and choices, and we should respect that. Whether Yao Gang will feel lonely, or whether he needs a partner, only he knows best.
May Yao Gang be able to live the life that his heart yearns for.
