Wu Song in "Water Margin" I believe everyone is familiar with it, his heroic character and strong force make Wu Song very popular with readers, and his brother Wu Da is also very famous.
Wu Dalang is famous because of his short height but married a beautiful Pan Jinlian, and in the film and television version, the sentence "Dalang, it's time to take medicine" has become a hot stalk that people talk about.
According to the introduction in the book, Wu Dalang's height should be more than one meter five, and the actor of Wu Dalang in the 1998 "Water Margin" that we are familiar with may not be as tall as Wu Dalang set in the book, but his life is diametrically opposite to Wu Dalang.
starred in "Wu Dalang".
In 1995, Zhang Shaolin found Song Wenhua, hoping that he could play the role of Wu Dalang in the remake of "Water Margin".
Zhang Shaolin is actually looking for Song Wenhua for one reason, his image is too much in line with "Wu Dalang", his height is only one meter five, and he is simply the most suitable candidate.
At that time, the other roles had basically been decided, and Wu Dalang actually had some pre-selected roles, but there was the classic "Water Margin" in front of him, and the pressure of the remake was very high, Zhang Shaolin wanted to be perfect in all aspects, and Song Wenhua was this important piece of the puzzle.
After entering the crew, Song Wenhua, who is 1.5 meters tall, is sandwiched among a large number of "Liangshan heroes", which looks very small, but his treatment is very enviable.
The "Pan Jinlian" who played with Song Wenhua was Wang Siyi, a big beauty, because of the plot, there were many occasions for the two to shoot together, and Wang Siyi soon became familiar with Song Wenhua.
Although he is short, this does not stop Song Wenhua's charm, he is humorous and funny, he can always make Wang Siyi laugh, when there is no shooting, the two often improvise a dance, which is a treatment that other "heroes" do not have.
After the release of "Water Margin" in 98, the response was very good, and Song Wenhua, who played "Wu Dalang", became famous with this role.
Being famous is definitely a good thing for an actor, but Song Wenhua is still a little "unconvinced", he can only be "Wu Dalang" because of his height, but if there is no height limit, the role of Wu Song will definitely be his.
Song Wenhua said this, in fact, it is really not "crazy words", Song Wenhua has practiced a good kung fu since he was a child, if he is satisfied with his height, he may really be a suitable candidate for Wu Song.
He has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Song Wenhua was born in 1955, he is a native of Beijing, and he was exposed to the field of film as a child, and he also played roles.
When he was a child, Song Wenhua's height couldn't be seen to be a problem, and he was about the same as other children of the same age in the family, but when it was more than 1.4 meters, Song Wenhua's height seemed to have stagnated.
Seeing that his peers have surpassed him, Song Wenhua is not in a hurry, he doesn't care about height, and growing slowly doesn't mean that he won't grow up.
Song Wenhua's height is indeed still growing, at a very slow pace, until it grows to 1.5 meters and then completely stops. Even so, Song Wenhua, who has a big heart, didn't take it seriously, and his height couldn't be eaten.
When I was in school, the school organized performance programs, and there were many groups responsible for their own programs, and Song Wenhua was assigned to the martial arts group, although it was only a children's performance, but it also exposed Song Wenhua to martial arts, and he liked it very much.
In addition to liking martial arts, Song Wenhua also fell in love with acting, he learned a lot of things, both learning opera and martial arts, interest is the best teacher, both of which let him learn well, in addition to learning.
Song Wenhua was nervous if he didn't study well, he didn't go to an ordinary school directly, but entered the martial arts school to study, under the hard training, his body became more and more robust, but his height never increased.
After Song Wenhua came out of the martial arts school, he did not go to the film and television industry, because his image was a little inconsistent, Song Wenhua could only enter a factory to work, he was already a young man in his 20s at that time, and others got married at his age.
Song Wenhua's parents asked the matchmaker to tell Song Wenhua about a blind date, and they all said that fish are looking for fish and shrimp, Song Wenhua is one meter and five tall, and it is unrealistic to want to be too tall, so the matchmaker introduced him to a person who is lower than him according to this standard.
As soon as he heard that he was not as tall as him, Song Wenhua simply didn't go to see him, even if it was only 1.5 meters, he had to find a wife who was taller than him.
Meet a good wife. In the play, Song Wenhua's "Wu Dalang" married "Pan Jinlian" is tall and beautiful like a flower, and Song Wenhua outside the play is not bad, and he still finds a good wife if he is low.
Song Wenhua has a cheerful personality, treats people warmly, is down-to-earth and hardworking, and there is no problem with his appearance, it can be said that in addition to his height, he can't find fault at all.
Someone is unexpected, but there are always people who value the soul, and a colleague in the factory sees Song Wenhua as good, so he introduces his relatives to Song Wenhua.
The girl was ten centimeters taller than Song Wenhua, but she didn't care about the height gap, and Song Wenhua's other charms covered up his lack of height.
In 1983, under Song Wenhua's marriage proposal, the girl married him, and Song Wenhua also began to chase his dream of being an actor and began to enter the showbiz.
Although Song Wenhua has very few places where he can be used as an actor because of his height, there is always a suitable one, who is low, so he can play the role of a child who can fight in martial arts scenes.
Song Wenhua did receive a few plays, but they were all some unimportant supporting roles, and the subject matter was too restrictive, he couldn't support the family as a supporting role, and his wife had worked hard to support his dream, and after weighing it, Song Wenhua returned to life.
It wasn't until he was discovered by Zhang Shaolin in 1995 that Song Wenhua ushered in the highlight of his career as an actor.
Xiying became an ordinary person.
Song Wenhua is back, and it can be regarded as a "work injury".
After starring in "Wu Dalang", Song Wenhua's resources have increased, and this problem with the back of his ears was left at this time, when filming a TV, Song Wenhua accidentally fell into the water and got mud in his ears.
If calculated according to the year when "Water Margin" was released in 98, Song Wenhua can be said to have just "debuted" in his 40s, and his age at that time was not small, and he felt even more powerless after filming a commemorative film.
Thinking of his wife's dedication to the family when he was filming before, Song Wenhua felt indebted to her, so he chose to retire, put down his career in the film and television industry, and concentrate on returning to the family.
Now Song Wenhua is 69 years old, because he has been in the shadow for many years, few people can recognize him, he looks like an ordinary person from the outside, and of course there are those who will recognize "Wu Dalang".
For an actor, it is very lucky to have a classic role, although Song Wenhua is no longer acting, but the 98 version of "Water Margin" will still be reviewed by the audience over and over again, and his image will always be remembered.
