A man has two pillars of life, one is his career and the other is his feelings. When the years change and he is no longer trapped by his career or burdened by his feelings, he will usher in complete freedom.
html This is the case for 268-year-old Weizi.
The first half of his life can be summed up in one word, that is "ambition". At the age of 68, Weizi ushered in "liberation":
In terms of career, he resolutely gave up the "iron rice bowl", and emotionally, He was determined to stay clean and get divorced, and he also adhered to the consistent policy of "freezing" his son who became an actor...
Putting aside all the burdens, Weizi's life suddenly became The sea and sky became brighter.
Of course, all this requires "strong strength" to endorse - Weizi's acting skills can be described as "excellent".
In "The Journey to the West", that is, "Tang Wei 2", and in the last unit "The Provider", he once again proved himself as "Cao Gong".
is worthy of the man who played "Yue Buqun", with his own "hypocrisy" filter. Sometimes he is kind-hearted, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, sometimes he is enigmatic, and sometimes he is compassionate...
can't help but lament "Cao Gong" "The casting is truly outstanding, with full confusing effect and sufficient suspenseful atmosphere. Moreover, the high-quality quality of the actors comes to mind as soon as they appear on the stage. Weizi is especially effective in holding the scene."
Weizi is worthy of being an experienced actor. is getting stronger and stronger over time, crushing the whole audience. He is still as hot as he is old. To be honest, with him there is nothing like other actors. Every move is a drama, which is particularly fascinating and moving. Don't open your eyes.
After so many years, he is really not in vain. Weizi, who has many cherished works, is really a leader.

He has so many The masterpieces are not only due to luck, most of them are due to hard work, and they are also inseparable from him. The spirit of daring to break things and step out of your comfort zone.
Weizi’s career as an actor began when he spent three years as an educated youth in the mountains and countryside.
In 1973, his parents, who were government cadres in Yinchuan, Ningxia, were criticized and both were imprisoned in a cowshed. The 17-year-old Wang Wei (also known as Weizi) was sent to a village called Yangjiazhai by the Yellow River.
The hardships involved are self-evident. The young people accompanying them all squeezed their heads to grab the opportunity to recapture the city, and Weizi was no exception. At that time, only by standing out could there be a glimmer of hope, so he forcibly transformed himself from a backward player. He became a model student.
During the two years, a wall full of awards was posted. The price was the medical record of Weizi being so tired that he vomited blood twice.
During this period, he missed two opportunities to return to the city. One was to be "recommended for admission to China Agricultural University" and the other was to "be a civil servant in a coal mine." Logically speaking, these were all delicious food, but at that time, he was burdened Weizi, who was half-dead from the farm work, was already intimidated by him.
Therefore, he waited until the third year and waited for the enrollment notice of Ningxia Normal University.
Weizi was interested in the "Art Department", but he actually knew nothing and didn't understand anything, but he still passed the interview somehow. He basically got in by mistake.
Weizi still finds this incredible:
"Now, I have no chance to be an actor."
But no matter what, he entered the Ningxia Repertory Theater and officially started his career as an actor.
There is a carrot and a pitfall in the system. Weizi worked as a bit player for 5 years before he "got rid of" the old leading actors in the group.
He was highly valued by the troupe because of his profound academic skills. At that time, the leader intended to promote him to the director of the drama troupe. However, Weizi "had second thoughts."
Because he saw a wider world, Weizi’s short-term further study at the Central Academy of Drama opened his eyes to the fact that the literary and artistic atmosphere in Ningxia is vastly different from that in Beijing.
did not want to be a frog in the well anymore, so he targeted the opportunity of passing the exam and spent half a year studying secretly - he did not dare to tell others, for fear that he would be laughed at if he failed the exam.
This behavior is, in today’s terms, “riding a donkey to look for a horse.”
In short, Weizi succeeded. He was admitted to the Chinese Opera Advanced Class. For this reason, he even left his hometown and left his wife and children.
Yes, at that time, Weizi had already settled down in Ningxia, and his wife was his classmate and colleague, drama actor Xia Liyan. When he went to Beijing, his son was already 3 years old.
It seems now that this choice paved the way for the breakdown of their relationship.
But Weizi is ambitious. He can only move forward without caring about anything else. Working hard is his only way out.
"At that time, I was 30 years old. In addition to studying, my biggest purpose in joining the Chinese Opera was to stay in Beijing."
Basically, apart from sleeping in the dormitory, he spent the rest of his time either in the rehearsal hall or in the library. , trained himself crazily, and Weizi worked hard.
If you want to stay in Beijing, the best way is to achieve your own results and let others come after you.
Weizi’s exam answer sheet was a graduation drama, and he did indeed “go straight to the top” with this.
In the graduation play "Sangshuping Chronicle", Weizi stood out and not only won the Plum Blossom Award, the highest award in the drama industry, but also won the first Golden Lion Wenhua Award. The most important thing is that the Beijing dream he has always dreamed of will come true—— A total of seven literary and artistic units in Beijing sent him invitations.
Weizi finally chose the Beijing People's Art Theater, firstly because it is a royal palace of drama, and secondly because Beijing People's Art Theater could solve his household registration and housing problems.
Weizi had to consider his wife and children who were far away from home. When other units pushed back, Beijing People's Art Company spent just one month helping him settle down with his wife.
His wife Xia Liyan "followed her husband", and the unit was changed from Ningxia Repertory Theater to Beijing People's Art Company. After their divorce, she still stayed in People's Art Company. At the same time, Beijing People's Art Company also bought a house for the family of three.
Therefore, Weizi was accused of being "ungrateful" when he finally left Beijing People's Art Theatre. In fact, even he himself felt guilty about this.
"Beijing People's Art gave me 100%, and my return to Beijing People's Art is 0."
Speaking of which, the trigger for him to leave Beijing People's Art was 's material embarrassment.
At that time, Weizi’s monthly salary was 84 yuan. He took 30 yuan for living expenses and left the rest for his family. At 1 yuan a day, Weizi’s life was not rich, and he was even stretched.
So when the crew of the TV series "Pearl River Family" came to visit, he was moved.
But at that time, the environment of Beijing People's Art Theater was not as relaxed as it is now. The pace of rehearsals was particularly slow, and it was also difficult for actors to go out for filming:
had to ask for leave, have to hold meetings to study, and whether to approve or not had to be discussed separately. Weizi was in various departments. Each leader begged one by one, and it took him a full month to go through the process before he was allowed to go crazy.
The result was well worth it. Weizi's success rose with the overwhelming success of "Love in the Pearl River", and he was able to enter the mainstream audience's field of vision.
In addition, what gave Weizi a taste of the sweetness was that at that time, an actor could earn 400 yuan for filming an episode of a TV series, which was a huge sum of money compared to the dead salary he received.
And because Weizi was already a national first-class actor at that time, he could get a salary of 1,000 yuan for an episode of "Love in the Pearl River".
Youdao means "from frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult". Gradually, Weizi became more and more interested in going off-road. He could never go back to the past, and he was no longer willing to just stay in Renyi, holding a " It’s tasteless to eat and it’s a pity to throw away” the iron rice bowl.
The most important thing is that in Beijing Renyi, you can’t decide what to say or do completely by yourself. In this environment where there are constraints everywhere, Weizi feels that every second is like a year.
"I am a person who advocates freedom and is restricted by others. This is not my character. It does not mean that the outside world is more exciting, but I just make up my own mind about my own affairs."
When Weizi took the initiative to resign, the veteran actors in Renyi "exploded". They almost burst into tears to persuade him to stay:
"How can you take this path? You are a very promising actor. You gave up the honor of being a performing artist. "
Relatives and friends around me also gave earnest persuasion:
"Have you ever thought about a series of problems after you leave, such as labor insurance and medical treatment, including after you retire? The country will support you, but what if you give up now? None. "
But Weizi left without hesitation. In his view, the most precious thing in life is freedom.
Therefore, after the marriage encountered a bottleneck period, Weizi filed for divorce without hesitation.
"Let's separate if we can't get along. I don't think it's good to torture each other like this. "
They spend less time together and stay apart more often. Coupled with the incompatibility of their personalities, their marriage is actually already on the verge of collapse.
"Often, she screws, and I screw too. The state is particularly bad, and the air is often solidified together. "
Weizi couldn't stand such a depressing and suffocating atmosphere. His wife Xia Liyan should be the same, because she agreed to the divorce without hesitation.
In fact, to take a step back, Weizi has a bohemian and free-spirited personality. , It is really not suitable to be trapped in the cage of marriage.
When he got divorced, he "cleaned up and left the house" and left all his property, including house, car, savings and son, to Xia Liyan. On the day he took his bags and left, Wei There are only six hundred yuan in cash in Zi's pocket.
This is not even enough for him to rent a house. If there is no relief from his friends, he may have to live on the street.
The first divorce is one of the few vulnerable moments for Weizi, and he will also be affected by love. Hurt, but he will not collapse because of love.
Because he feels that men cannot live just for feelings, because he knows that there is always a chance to turn around based on his own strength.
This is also true. Weizi was later nominated three times. Golden Rooster Award, four times nominated for the Feitian Award, has never won the award because there is no employer to endorse it.
"I believe in my potential. I am just a piece of wood. If you hold me down under the water, you can't let me go. If you let me go, I will." Still have to float. "
Weizi has never underestimated his ability to survive. He started to take roles crazily. After all, no matter how idealistic a person is, he will always be down to earth.
His friends were all frightened:
"You are so poor and crazy, what are you doing? All answered. "
During that period, he occupied 9 of the 15 TV channels.
This was not only for survival, but also to raise children.
Although his son Wang Ziyi had been living with his ex-wife, Weizi's father's responsibilities should be fulfilled from Not less than half a point.
In his freshman year, his son wanted to study in Canada, so he called his father. Although Weizi was surprised, he also expressed understanding:
"I will ask you two questions. First, does your mother agree? Second, is there any Be mentally prepared to endure hardships. If you think about it, I definitely support it."
After getting a positive reply from Wang Ziyi, as a father, he immediately went to Canada for a field trip - it was very difficult to go abroad at that time. , we had to go through all kinds of procedures, big and small. Weizi, who had never asked for help, went through all kinds of procedures, including begging grandpa and grandma for his son.
After his son went abroad, he returned to his previous free-range lifestyle. The father and son indeed showed little emotion.
So what Weizi never expected was that one day, he would learn about his son from the Chinese opera teacher:
"Weizi, you are awesome. Your son took the exam and you didn't even show your face."
Weizi The child thought he was joking:
"Impossible, my son is abroad. Could it be that there is another fake son?"
He never expected that his son would sneak back to China to take the Chinese opera exam and pass the exam. .
However, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Wei Zi had to accept it. "Kang Kuang" paid Wang Ziyi's tuition and living expenses for four years.
Weizi has always advocated "teaching by example" rather than "teaching by words". The love he gave his son was silent.
"Words are the lowest level, teaching by example is the highest level. If my role model is not good, he can find another role model. It is good to do your own thing, and stand up when you fall."
So even if you are He is also the number one figure in the industry, but Weizi has never helped his son once in taking over a role.
"If you want something from me, there is none. Some are in society. He has to fight for it himself."
Wang Ziyi is also used to it.
"We are all doing well on our own and don't disturb each other. He doesn't want me to mention him. I don't want him to mention me. I'm not resisting. I don't want to live under his halo. I feel that I have to rely on myself in life. Go work hard."
So after working hard as an actor for so many years, Wang Ziyi, who is 42 years old and has appeared in major movies, has never really become popular.
Just like what Wei Zi taught, he can show friendliness to everyone with his palms down, but he will never let himself ask for things with his palms up.
But Wang Ziyi is not "mud cannot hold up the wall", nor is he an "embroidered pillow". He has inherited the good looks and acting skills of his father Weizi.
The movie "Shouting Mountain" is proof of his strength.
Wang Ziyi, who plays the leading actor Han Chong, gives full play to his outstanding acting skills.
Old father Weizi was extremely proud and proud of him. Regardless of success or failure, as long as he fought hard on his own, it was a good job.
Weizi has always kept a distance from the outside world. Whether it is career, love or family relationships, he wants to maintain his full self.
"I will live with two words in my life, the first is freedom, the second is happiness. Don't let me be depressed. As soon as I am depressed, I will turn away."
Once he realizes that he is bound by various rules and regulations, he wants to escape. , once he realizes that he is in a hypoxic family life, he has to save himself. For him, the greatest happiness of is freedom and loneliness.
What is valuable about Weizi is not so much that he only saw the moon when there were six pennies all over the ground. It is better to say that what is rare is that he can still look up at the moon when he is picking up six pennies.
