In the eyes of others, Wang Zhiwen is considered to have a high self-esteem and poor emotional intelligence, a short temperament, and a lack of understanding of human feelings.
As one of the few "drama bones" in the entertainment industry, Wang Zhiwen's "pride" is confident, he never accepts advertisements, does not hype, and does not appear in variety shows.
His powerful performance is incompatible with the "traffic-oriented" entertainment industry, so his appearances on the screen have become very rare in recent years.
Shanghai is the birthplace of Wang Zhiwen, whose father was a laborer and his mother a clerk.
Although the family is not wealthy, the family is reunited, and they can eat and sleep well every day, and this life is full of happiness.
Wang Zhiwen was diagnosed with nephritis when he was 6 years old.
For the sake of Wang Zhiwen, his parents did not hesitate to use all the family's savings, and they also took on a lot of debts.
What is even more sad is that a few years later, Wang Zhiwen's father died in an accidental car accident.
Wang Zhiwen's mother shouldered the entire burden of the family, and this unexpected event forced her to take on more responsibilities.
In order to take care of these three children, the mother had to work several jobs a day to make ends meet.
Wang Zhiwen has always been competitive during his school years, and his grades have always been at the top of his class.
As the years passed, a bold idea emerged in Wang Zhiwen's heart: to apply for the art academy.
This kind of idea appears in an ordinary family, and it will obviously feel whimsical.
His brother and relatives advised him: "People like us can't get to that place at all." ”
However, Wang Zhiwen always stood firm in his views and eventually succeeded in convincing his mother.
At that time, Wang Zhiwen's mother could only earn more than 30 yuan a month, and she tried her best to scrape together 200 yuan to give Wang Zhiwen.
With the 200 yuan given by his mother, Wang Zhiwen took a bag of dry food and a pot of water and took the train to the test center.
Wang Zhiwen spent more than 50 hours in the car, which lasted three days and two nights. Unable to adapt to the dry climate, he began to bleed his nose, and the long time in the car also caused his feet to swell and even make it difficult to walk.
Fortunately, Wang Zhiwen finally passed the art exam with perseverance and won the first place.
When Wang Zhiwen entered the Beijing Film Academy, he felt a huge gap in his heart, because his classmates were either outstanding in appearance or excellent in acting, while he himself looked mediocre.
In order to live up to his mother's trust in him, Wang Zhiwen secretly decided that he must make a career in the entertainment industry.
Wang Zhiwen not only listens attentively in class, but also spends time practicing his lines and acting skills after class.
Wang Zhiwen finally ushered in a chance to play the leading role.
After he took the script, he closed his door and devoted himself to it, even writing a 10,000-word character analysis in order to reach a higher level when playing the role.
Halfway through the filming, the director suddenly called Wang Zhiwen aside and told him: "I chose the wrong person, your appearance does not conform to the public's aesthetics, you are not suitable for the profession of an actor, you can leave." ”
Wang Zhiwen felt very frustrated at that moment, and he began to wonder if the effort was really worthless. Do you have to be good-looking to be an actor?
Wang Zhiwen found his mentor in confusion and asked for answers.
The mentor told him: "As long as you have confidence in yourself and keep working hard to improve your acting and acting ability, you will have a chance to realize your dreams." You need to be persistent in everything you do, regardless of what the outside world says about your looks. ”
Although Wang Zhiwen was still confused after listening to his mentor's words, he was determined to stick to his dream and continue to work hard to improve his acting skills.
Wang Zhiwen finally ushered in the spring of his career in 1992, and his role as "Wang Xi" in "Roots of the Imperial City" made him shine in the entertainment industry for the first time, and finally won the Best Actor Award at the 11th Chinese Film Golden Eagle Awards.
Subsequently, in the TV series "Addicted", he was well-known to the audience for his excellent dialect performance, and partnered with Jiang Shan to play the national couple, which swept the country, and finally won the Best Actor Award at the 14th China TV Drama Feitian Awards for his solid acting skills.
Subsequently, Wang Zhiwen's acting career ushered in a take-off, and successively participated in "The Way of Heaven", "Black Ice" and "Distant Savior", and won many awards such as the Shanghai TV Festival, Magnolia Award, Golden Eagle Award and Hundred Flowers Award.
When Wang Zhiwen's career was in full swing, he did not take advantage of this opportunity to make money and participate in various commercial performances, but reduced the frequency of public appearances and concentrated on improving his acting skills.
He never thinks about the honorarium, but first focuses on whether the role in the script is challenging, whether it is suitable for him, and whether he can improve his acting skills.
Wang Zhiwen is committed to presenting every movement, every demeanor, and even every hair flawlessly, so most of the dramas he starred in are considered classics.
Andy Lau even praised: "Wang Zhiwen's performance is so natural, it makes me feel as if I am not acting, but showing it realistically, and I also draw inspiration from Wang Zhiwen's acting skills in many plays." ”
Wang Zhiwen has a straightforward personality and speaks mercilessly, giving people the impression of "a hot face sticking to a cold ass", so he is often accused of "playing a big name".
* He once criticized Wang Zhiwen for being disrespectful because he spit chewing gum on a reporter's business card, and even jointly published an article announcing that he would be punished for him"**However, Wang Zhiwen was not afraid, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter! ”
Wang Zhiwen's performance of "Fanny's Smile" also won awards at the awards ceremony.
When everyone was congratulating him, he said with a look of disapproval: "The people of Moscow have a really unique vision to reward such a role." ”
This drama actually didn't play well, and Wang Zhiwen thought that there were still many deficiencies that needed to be improved, so he bluntly put forward his opinion.
This sentence was so lightly written, but it left everyone speechless, and the whole scene was suddenly silent.
Many people claim that Wang Zhiwen offended people in the entertainment industry, and as a result, he disappeared from the entertainment industry.
However, in fact, Wang Zhiwen just doesn't want to be in the same stream with some stars in the entertainment industry.
Wang Zhiwen, 56, now spends more time on his family, he rarely appears in front of the screen, and no longer starring in some roles, but chooses to play some supporting roles.
Wang Zhiwen was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't even open Weibo. He is incompatible with the entertainment industry, and everyone goes with the flow, but he is the only one who guards his sober heart. Wang Zhiwen's "disappearance" in the entertainment industry can be described as a kind of sadness.
