When it comes to the entertainment industry"Emperor Professional Household", the images of Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin and others may come to mind.
However, despite their good contributions, they may be slightly inferior to the imperial interpretation of a certain actor, lacking that excellence.
He is a superstar in the Chinese drama industry, and has twice won the brilliant honor of the theater industry"Lifetime achievement dramatist"。The role he plays is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in playing"Emperor Kangxi", his whole life was a brilliant one on the stage.
He is the indelible memory of that generation, the legend of immortality - Jiao Huang.
What is the charm of the Jiao Huang version of Emperor Kangxi? Convincingly, the role he portrayed even surpassed Chen Daoming's interpretation, which is impressive.
It is worth mentioning that he was not the protagonist in his pinnacle work "Yongzheng Dynasty", but he won the hearts of countless audiences with his superb acting skills.
Despite being praised by a wide audience"An emperor through the ages"'s Kangxi image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but surprisingly, he has encountered a resolute resistance from a director.
This director is resistant to paying a huge compensation of 5 million rather than letting Jiao Huang play the role of Kangxi, what is the reason for this?
With the advent of a new era of television, countless people have been captured by the emerging charm of television, and TV dramas have stepped onto the public stage.
In that era when there were no professional TV actor training camps, most of the early actors came from the best in the drama industry, and they crossed over into the field of television with their exquisite skills.
As an outstanding cross-border artist, Jiao Huang is not only a drama master who has successfully transformed into a television field, but also a bright star in the drama field.
With his repeated masterful interpretations of Shakespeare's plays, he is known for"The prince in Shakespeare's play", leading the theater world**.
As a bright star in the south of the drama industry, Jiao Huang led the way, and it was not until 1988 that he emerged in the pioneering work "Engineers" in the field of TV dramas, opening a new chapter in his film and television stage.
Surprisingly, the performance was a windfall"Best Supporting Actor", which undoubtedly reveals his profound acting strength. However, despite Jiao Huang's outstanding performance in the play, the repercussions at the time did not sweep the public.
It wasn't until 1997 that his wonderful performance in "Yongzheng Dynasty" really made him move from behind the scenes to the front and become a well-known star actor.
In 1996, Jiao Huang, a master artist, had entered his retirement at the age of 60, and he did choose to retire in his old age. Surprisingly, even when Tang Guoqiang and other well-known actors and directors later came to invite him to return, he still politely declined the opportunity at first.
On the occasion of farewell, the director specially entrusted the script to Jiao Huang, looking forward to his in-depth understanding. And after reading it, Jiao Huang's heart was stirred, what boy doesn't have a fiery dream of the throne?
The next legend is what we are familiar with - Jiao Huang played the protagonist Emperor Kangxi with superb acting skills in "Yongzheng Dynasty", realizing his dream of being an emperor.
Emperor Kangxi, played by Jiao Huang, became a blockbuster because of his amazing acting skills, and is still named the best model of playing Emperor Kangxi by the audience.
The unspeakable imperial majesty in his play is difficult for subsequent interpreters of the throne to reach and replicate, and his Kangxi image has become an eternal classic.
Emperor Kangxi played by Jiao Huang does not need to use his anger to deter his ministers, just with his majestic posture, it is enough for people to experience the deep"Reign supreme in the world"Sense. Even Tang Guoqiang was full of praise for him and thought of him"is not playing Kangxi, he is Kangxi himself"。
However, the acclaimed Kangxi actor has also encountered a certain director"Questioning vision"。
At the beginning, the brilliant achievements of "Yongzheng Dynasty" were simply unique, and its influence was like a bright star, leading a new era of costume dramas in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the only leader on the stage after the millennium, then "Yongzheng Dynasty" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the Huazhang before the millennium.
It is the outstanding charm of "Yongzheng Dynasty" that has inspired many directors to pursue costume dramas, including Liu Dayin, the writer of "Kangxi Dynasty".
Deeply inspired by the popularity of "Yongzheng Dynasty", Liu Dayin had a keen insight into the huge possibilities of costume dramas, and immediately decisively won the copyright of "Kangxi Dynasty", showing his vision and determination for the future of this drama.
He has traveled all over the country and has actively sought sponsorship and investment to ensure the quality of the series. Despite their eventual success in attracting investment, investors made it clear that casting decisions should be in their hands.
In order to achieve the smooth filming of the TV series, Liu Dayin gladly accepted certain conditions. However, when preparing to enter the actual filming stage, investors strongly hoped that Jiao Huang would play the starring role, with his popular role as Emperor Kangxi.
Surprisingly, however, Liu Dayin's idea collided subtly with the investor's proposal.
In Liu Dayin's heart, although Jiao Huang's version of Emperor Kangxi can be called a classic, what he presents is the image of a mature monarch in his later years.
For anyone, the role reversal in life is the norm, let alone the emperors who shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the world, and their mental journey is even more twisted and turned.
Facing Jiao Huang, an elderly actor who was 74 years old at the time, considering the long shooting time span of the TV series, and the frequent movement of the set, it may cause a burden on his body, so it is obviously not appropriate for the old man to follow the crew for a long time.
However, the investors showed a firm determination to take the lead, insisting that Jiao Huang play the leading role, refusing any room for negotiation, and even taking legal action against Liu Dayin to hold their ground.
Under the fair ruling of the law, Liu Dayin ended with the payment of 5 million liquidated damages. Subsequently, he realized his dream for many years and invited Chen Daoming, who had superb acting skills, to play the role of Emperor Kangxi, thus creating an immortal legend in the history of film and television.
Although Chen Daoming's role as Emperor Kangxi is also admirable, the public generally prefers Jiao Huang's image because he fails to show that self-explanatory temperament.
In this regard, I think it is understandable, after all, Chen Daoming played the youth and prime of Emperor Kangxi, and the edge of the role is more distinct than that of old age.
It is indisputable that the two of them have created an eternal image of Kangxi in the hearts of the audience. Time flies, and now at the age of 88, he is approaching Jiao Huang, but he still maintains amazing vitality and health.
Just the day before the Lantern Festival, the famous director Hu Mei shared a warm moment in the short world. She joined hands with actor Jiao Huang and his wife to celebrate the Lantern Festival, as if looking for sweetness in the memory of tasting the glory of the past.
Despite the fact that the years are aging, Jiao Huang can still enjoy the pleasure of eating alone, and his tough physical condition is amazing. Netizens humorously ridiculed:"You might as well give our imperial grandfather some deer blood nourishment, and the emperor please cherish the dragon vein. "
This vividly reflects Jiao Huang's deep imprint and classic status as an emperor in the hearts of the audience.
After several years in the art world, Jiao Huang has devoted his life to the performing arts, and he is undoubtedly one of the purest performers in the Chinese film and television industry.
Mr. Jiao Huang has interpreted excellent acting skills throughout his life, and countless roles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but he has never hyped himself up because of his deep qualifications. May he enjoy a leisurely time in his old age, and at the same time look forward to the emergence of more performers as pure art as him in the domestic entertainment industry.
