In 23, due to the limited funds, the director couldn't afford to hire Japanese actors, which led to the delay in filming the original plan, and the director was troubled for a long time. Finally, in desperation, the director decided to "treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor" and shouted at the crew: "Who can speak Japanese? There is a need for an actor here, and he is paid. "
hearing this, a voice came from the humble corner: "I will!" " Looking for the sound, this person turned out to be Yang Qingwen, the driver of the crew. The director looked at this person and asked him to try the role without saying anything. Who would have thought that this attempt unexpectedly made him popular!
what is this? How can a driver speak Japanese? What changes have taken place in Yang Qingwen's life after acting?
Liang Jian can be said to be the "benchmark" of anti-Japanese dramas, and few anti-Japanese dramas can be compared with it. But who would have thought that when the drama was being filmed, because the crew was too poor, it had to be decorated with several roles by one person, and even the head of the show, Li Yunlong, ran as a walk-on.
And there is another actor who impresses everyone here, and that is the Japanese army officer "Kuroshima Morita". At that time, when watching the drama, everyone must have hated him. At one time, some people thought that he was a pure Japanese. However, what everyone didn't expect was that he was an out-and-out Chinese son and daughter.
Yang Qingwen was born in Chengde City, Hebei Province in 1961. After failing the college entrance examination, he had the idea of being a tour guide. At that time, it happened that Chengde and cypress city in Japan were establishing "sister cities", so he wanted to learn some Japanese to receive some Japanese tourists.
With this idea, Yang Qingwen began to study Japanese hard. At first, he taught himself with Radio Japanese, but the effect was not obvious. Later, he enrolled in an evening school to learn Japanese. With his efforts, his Japanese level has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he can even keep a diary in Japanese.
But he learned Japanese well, but his work didn't go as he hoped. In the end, he had no choice but to give up his dream of being a tour guide.
When he was 23 years old, he met a girl named Han Yaling under the introduction of his neighbors. After a short time together, they got married quickly and gave birth to two children. All the burdens fell on Yang Qingwen. Due to the pressure of life, Yang Qingwen finally became a truck driver under the recommendation of a friend.
Not long after, Yang Qingwen changed the van into a taxi, thinking that he could help Japanese tourists, so that he could learn Japanese in vain. But five years later, there are only a handful of Japanese tourists in Yang Qingwen, and his carefully studied Japanese has failed to come in handy after all. At this time, however, Yang Qingwen didn't know that an opportunity of "fire" was approaching him quietly.
Seeing that the taxi business was not good, Yang Qingwen wanted to find another way. Later, by chance, he became the driver of the crew, who was responsible for pulling the crew to film. After such a long time in the cast, Yang Qingwen became interested in acting.
I remember one time, when the crew was resting, Yang Qingwen watched others perform, but he didn't do several performances at once. He said to himself, "If I perform this, I will just specify one." However, at that time, he was just an unknown little driver, how dare he want to act for others!
However, it didn't take long for the opportunity to come to Yang Qingwen.
At the time of filming, Lin Ru's finale "Sons Picking Sons' Wives and Children", an actor who can speak Japanese was just needed in the play, and Yang Qingwen just met the setting of this role, so he took a try.
This attempt also enabled him to successfully play a Japanese role. Although he was not the leading role and didn't have many words, it was enough for Yang Qingwen. Although this little experiment failed to make Yang Qingwen fire, Yang Qingwen, who felt happy in acting, became more interested in filming.
Later, in 23, the crew of "Bright Sword" went to Hebei to shoot, and Yang Qingwen and the college and university became the drivers of this crew. At this time, no one expected that a driver would "fire"!
Because the crew was so poor that they couldn't even get the money to build a shed, the director had no choice but to start filming in an abandoned village. But in the middle of filming, the funds were not enough, and we couldn't afford a "big-name" actor, so we asked other actors to shoot in multiple roles, including Li Yunlong.
In addition to the colonel Li Yunlong you saw, he actually played the role of a bandit, that is, when the monk died, one of the three bandits should be obvious to the discerning eye at once.
There is also the casting of Japanese officers, which is even more troublesome for the director, because whether to invite a real Japanese actor or an actor who can speak Japanese is a big burden for the crew, and the crew really can't afford it. At this helpless time, the director made a bold decision.
He shouted on the set, "Who can speak Japanese? Come and play a role." Originally, "a dead horse is a living horse doctor", but there was a voice in the corner: "I will!" Everyone looked intently, and it turned out to be Yang Qingwen, the driver of the crew. At this time, Yang Qingwen was just holding the mentality of trying. I didn't expect to really solve a "big trouble" for the crew!
At that time, the director gave Yang Qingwen a Japanese manuscript to read, which was a piece of cake for Yang Qingwen, who was already familiar with Japanese. When he finished reading the manuscript skillfully, the director immediately made a decision: it's you!
In this way, a moustache and fluent Japanese officer "Kurashima Morita" appeared. Presumably, many people regarded him as a real Japanese when watching TV at that time, and even hated him, especially when confronting the "cavalry regiment", which really made the audience gnash their teeth!
However, who would have thought that the person who played the Japanese vividly turned out to be a native of China. This also proves from the side that Yang Qingwen's acting skills are good, and the director is also very satisfied. For this reason, the director also specially added a role to him, that is, Japanese Shaozuo who appeared in the first episode.
In addition, Yang Qingwen plays the role of the Eighth Route Army in the play, which is just a "background board".
After the filming and broadcasting of "Bright Sword", no one expected it to become a masterpiece of anti-Japanese dramas. In the anti-Japanese dramas with endless film and television circles, "Bright Sword" may never be surpassed.
However, with the fire of this drama, Yang Qingwen followed suit. Because there were not many Japanese-speaking actors in China, many directors took a fancy to him and invited him to act in the crew. Yang Qingwen became a "hot cake" at once. Not only did he appear in Kill the Tiger Mouth, but he also appeared in a series of anti-Japanese war dramas such as Snow Leopard.
In the eyes of many directors, Yang Qingwen was born for anti-Japanese dramas, and I believe people who often watch anti-Japanese dramas can always see him in them. Although they are all supporting roles, his superb acting skills have made many audiences remember him.
In fact, apart from opportunities and efforts, the most important thing for Yang Qingwen to change from an unknown driver to an actor is his attitude. No matter what kind of role he is facing, Yang Qingwen always treats the role with sincerity and a sincere heart. Even if it is a humble little role, he is very attentive, which may be one of the reasons why the director takes a fancy to it.
After becoming a formal actor, Yang Qingwen's family conditions have gradually improved, and his son and daughter have stable jobs, which is enough for him.
The roles, big or small, are dedicated enough, which may also be the reason for Yang Qingwen's success.
