Wang Qiang’s relationship with movies began with the 2017 movie “On the Balcony.” This feature film directed by Zhang Meng uses rough and unique film aesthetics to record the countless thoughts that Wang Qiang created for the character Zhang Yingxiong: innocence, sadness, gentleness, and stubborn changes. The unpredictable young man's character flows in his speechless eyes.

After the movie journey started, Wang Qiang never stopped broadening his acting career and breaking through himself. In 2019, Wang Qiang played the role of Ge Guichen in "Rescue at the End of Liberation" directed by Li Shaohong, making a leap from starting with literary films to expanding the boundaries of genre films. In 2023, Wang Qiang played Shi Cuntong in the historical drama movie "Wangdao", recounting personal confusion and wandering in the historical turmoil.

At the same time, Wang Qiang also appeared in many popular dramas, including The most representative one is "The Young Man Who Sings the Dragon" which will be broadcast in 2023. In this drama about the struggles and dilemmas of high school boys and girls, Wang Qiang portrays the character of Li Ran in a way that is both touching and admirable for his youthful vigor.

Wang Qiang’s fate with the Beijing International Film Festival has long been traced. In 2022, "The End of the Sea Is the Grassland" directed by Er Dongsheng and starring Wang Qiang made a stunning debut as the opening film of the 12th Beijing International Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the Tiantan Award in the main competition. "The End of the Sea Is the Grassland" is adapted from the true historical events of three thousand orphans entering Inner Mongolia. It panoramically reproduces the past of the Republic that was filled with great love 60 years ago. Wang Qiang plays the role of Na Muhan in the film. Whether he is holding a lamb and smiling, or galloping on horseback, he exudes a pure and simple vitality, as if he has never been contaminated by the world. Wang Qiang's outstanding portrayal also led to the audience's strong emotional identification with the character, making Namu Khan a favorite among movie fans. The film also won the Best Asian Film at the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards.
