Dong Xingji is a good actor, a great artist, and the Chinese film Golden Rooster award winner. He was once praised as the "king of voice" by Pu Cunxin, Li Chengru and others. Many people in the industry have said that if he hadn't left this world so early, then he should be the top spot in the recitation world today.
Unfortunately, he left too early.
Many people heard the news of his suicide and death, and they felt very sad: such a good actor, how can he leave?
Yes, he committed suicide.
Regarding the reasons for his suicide, I have heard several theories. Some said it was because he failed to act as the protagonist of a certain play, some said it was because his illness made him too painful and unbearable, and some said it was. Because his daughter did not listen to him, she had to be some pop singer (At that time, in the consciousness of many people, she didn't think that being a pop singer was also a very meaningful job).
But no matter what kind of statement it is, it is related to his illness, which is very serious depression.
Now that everyone hears the three words depression, it seems that they no longer feel strange. But in the 1980s, this was still a very rare word.
I have heard such a saying that people who are more serious about life and work are more likely to suffer from depression. I do not know whether it is accurate or not.
But Dong Xingji is indeed a very real person. Especially when it comes to performance and recitation, he is very serious.
Dong Xingji was born in April 1929, he is a native of Fujian Province, Fujian Province. Many people say that it is difficult for Fujianese to learn Mandarin, but Dong Xingji is an exception. He not only speaks Mandarin well, but also has extremely high attainments.
Some people say that listening to his reading, you will feel that his reading has a unique sound beauty. Whether it is a static literary description or a static voice expression, a smart heart is beating, and this is the highest state of recitation.
, of course, firstly benefits from his unique voice conditions. His voice is pure and powerful, ethereal and elegant, full of beauty and charm, and the reverberation is unforgettable.
In 1947, Dong Xingji graduated from high school and started his own drama acting career. He has served as an actor in the drama troupe of Beijing and Tianjin. In 1952, Beijing Renyi was established, and Dong Xingji became one of them. He has played roles in many classic plays of Beijing People's Art and created countless classics. For example, Zhou Chong in "Thunderstorm", Hu Si in "Sunrise", Zeng Hao in "Beijing Man", Ma Wuye in "Tea House", Cao Pi in "Cai Wenji", etc., have all left the audience Very deep impression.
I remember that in 1959, Beijing Renyi rehearsed Mr. Cao Yu's drama "Sunrise" in which Dong Xingji played Hu Si. Audiences who have watched the movie "Sunrise" know that Hu Si is a villain, a face, a "little white face" who relies on pleasing women to eat, drink and have fun and do no evil. Who would like such a role? But after Dong Xingji acted, he was sought after by too many audiences. Even when he usually goes to the streets, there are countless people around him watching. This shows how successful his performance is.
Dong Xingji also played Abagong in Molière's drama "The Misty Man". This famous miser, not only was a barren iron cock, but also tried to make a lot of money through the marriage of his children. Dong Xingji once again portrayed Aba's greed and stinginess through his skillful and exquisite performance. The audience in the audience applauded him involuntarily, and sincerely admired him: This actor is really a scene from the back of his head.
But I think more of us know him through his recitations on the radio, right? In the 1950s and 1960s, we heard many literary works on the radio, such as "Who is the cutest person", "Song of Lei Feng", "Sanmenxia Dressing Table", etc., all recited by him. These works, whether they are prose or poems, are so profound and beautiful, deep in the ears, with a long aftertaste.
Pu Cunxin has expressed his admiration for Dong Xingji in public more than once. In addition, when he applied for Renyi, he imitated the "Haiyan".
The well-known film and television actor Li Chengru has always been praised by the audience for his skills in lines, especially his monologue in the movie "Big Winner", which is regarded as a classic by many fans. But what everyone does not know is that Li Chengru's teacher is Dong Xingji.
Li Chengru still remembers the first time he saw Teacher Dong Xingji. That day, when he was about to enter the theater to watch a play, he suddenly heard a voice that he had admired for a long time. He said that he "was about to jump out of his heart at the time." Turning around, wasn't it Teacher Dong Xingji? He hurried forward and expressed his wish to learn from the teacher. Teacher Dong Xingji didn't say much, but only asked "Are there any works?" Li Chengru quickly said, "There are two essays." The teacher said, "Look for me in the Renyi dormitory at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon." , It was so settled.
And the most amazing thing is that Li Chengru has studied with Teacher Dong Xingji for many years. Teacher Dong has confiscated a penny from him, so he won't take any penny! If you put it aside until now and don't accept you for a class, who will teach you?
So, there are really few people like Teacher Dong Xingji now.
Dong Xingji participated in the movie not early. In 1978, Beijing Renyi put the drama "Cai Wenji" on the screen, in which he played the role of Cao Pi, and then played the character of Shen Muyao in the film "Ju Lan" shot by Beijing Film Studio.
In 1981, Dong Xingji suffered from depression. But during this period, he still insisted on his work, while assisting CCTV's director Yang Jie to film the episode of "Wuji Country" in "Journey to the West" while participating in film performances. In 1982, Beijing Film Studio director Xie Tian planned to bring Beijing Renyi's classic play "Tea House" to the screen, and appointed Dong Xingji as the opening commentator, saying that this task was none other than him. At that time, Dong Xingji was actually very ill, but even if Xie Tian waited, he still had to implement this matter.
Dong Xingji’s acting skills were recognized by more audiences and experts in 1983. This year, he participated in the film "Liao Zhongkai" shot by the Pearl River Film Studio, and played the role of Liao Zhongkai in it. He won a round of applause through his calm and solemn performance and profound line skills, and won the title of the 4th Golden Rooster Award.
However, no one would have thought that on June 21, 1983, shortly after the filming of this movie, he was suffering from severe depression and hanged himself in the bathroom at home. He did not hear the news of his award. In November 1985, Mr. Cao Yu wrote a tombstone for him.
Dong Xingji is a good actor. He takes his work seriously and takes his roles meticulously. But why did he leave so early?
Dong Xingji's wife is also an actor. She has participated in "Wang Zhaojun" and other plays on the stage of Beijing People's Art. And his daughter Dong Dai was originally a painter in Beijing Piano Factory. But because he liked singing since he was a child, he went south to Guangzhou and worked as a pop singer in a karaoke hall. In 1985, she participated in the Kapok Cup Singer Competition and won the title of Top Ten Singer. In the same year, she boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang the song "Thousands of Waters and Mountains Are Always Love" and became one of the early pop singers in the Spring Festival Gala. However, Dong Dai did not continue to develop in the field of popular music, but chose to become a doctor.
