His name is "Niu Er" in Wang Football School. So called by the masses, it shows that this "real actor" has been recognized in appearance and temperament.
Peasant children in Yichuan county
Liu Zhigang is short and thin, wearing a gray suit, black and white sneakers, a thin black face and a "Zhao Benshan-style" moustache. Even if he walks on the ridge of Luoning, no one will think that he is the "first hero" in a movie-his true colors, which is where he stands out from hundreds of candidates.
Liu Zhigang was born in a poor peasant family in a drunken village in Yichuan County, and went to work in Luoyang after graduating from junior high school. 17 years old, enlisted in the army and served as a soldier in Kashgar, Xinjiang. During his time as a soldier, he participated in several literary performances of the army, and his sketches were very popular with the soldiers, which also made him interested in the performance. So, when he was demobilized in 2000, he planned to go to the Beijing Film Academy (blog) actor training class with the demobilization fee.
A rural child's dream of becoming an actor? This was strongly opposed by the family. But Liu Zhigang's attitude is firm, without hesitation. In the end, his family supported his idea and charged him tuition and living expenses.
In this way, Liu Zhigang began to embark on an acting career.
"True colors" bring him opportunities.
In recent years, Liu Zhigang has also played roles in several TV series, but most of them are supporting roles. At the same time, after a long time in the circle, I slowly began to work as an assistant director and so on. Finally, one day, opportunities began to patronize him. ...
Liu Zhigang participated in the first two films shot by Luoyang Daily (Lost Primary School and Angry Piano), and his simple image left a deep impression on the producers and directors. When filming Angry Piano last year, the producers had planned to film Wang's football school, and then they began to pay attention.
Not long ago, Liu Zhigang served as an assistant director of a film and television drama in Shangqiu. On August 2, he received a phone call from Beijing asking him to audition for the role of "Wang", and he arrived in Beijing overnight.
I didn't know until I arrived in Beijing that one or two hundred people had participated in the competition for this role. After screening, only two "competitors" remain. He said: "In the process of PK with them, I finally won the hearts of producers and directors." The fundamental reason for his final victory is his simple temperament and "true colors" performance.
After reading the script, Liu Zhigang said, "I am too much like Rainbow Niu Er. First, I am a bit stubborn, and second, I am very imaginative. "
As the series "Wang" has to shoot many films, the producers signed contracts for five plays at one go. Liu Zhigang said: "For me, this opportunity is too rare!" Without such an opportunity and the filming of this film, it is almost impossible for Liu Zhigang to succeed in the highly competitive film and television industry.
Now, Liu Zhigang has gone to Luoling Township, Luoning County to shoot the location, and started the intense work for 15 days. For a peasant child, suffering is nothing. What is rare is such an opportunity, an opportunity to realize his dream of film and television-this is quite similar to Wang's dream. (Reporter Li Yingjie, editor Xu Xiang)
