From "The Story of the Cooking Class" and "Wulin Gaiden" to "Longling Grottoes", I have done dramas and carried the track, and now I am satisfied with the filming
"Little people" Jiang Chao can go to burn high fragrance today
In the online drama "Longling Grottoes", Jiang Chao plays Wang Fatzi, one of the protagonists. This is a super IP play that he has starred in more than 100 works for 28 years. This made his satisfaction peak. "For a person in his forties, it is the luckiest actor to be able to work with such a professional and large production team."
Mentioning Jiang Chao, the audience prefers to call him "Li Dazui" or "Little Jiang". The success of the sitcom "Stories of Cooking Class" and "Wulin Gaiden" has made Jiang Chao, who is full of joy, walk out of the hard days that need to rely on running dragons and livelihoods. In the past 14 years of "Wulin Gaiden", most of the other actors have already become very popular, but Jiang Chao still sticks to the golden supporting role. "I can get to today and let so many audiences know that I am already lucky to burn Gao Xiang, what more 'bikes'?"
A Let Wang Fatty be more cute
He is just a real, down-to-earth ordinary person
Jiang Chao is good at playing small people. He also likes these kinds of characters. He believes that there are big heroes in small people. "Like myself, life is a small person who does not want to show his head. But I can act now, and so many people pay attention to it. I think this kind of life is very good, this kind of talent is real. "
Before "Longling Grottoes", including Huang Bo and Jiang Wu, at least eight actors had played "Wat Fatty" in different versions of "Ghost Blowing Lamp".
Wang Kaixuan in "Longling Grottoes" is a standard "fat man" figure, smiling with a stern attitude, loves money, greedy, and gags, just like just returned from Beijing Panjiayuan. In contrast, Wang Kaixuan in the original book is more "mixed and not stingy". This also makes this version of the witty Wang Kaixuan fall into a bipolar evaluation. Some fans believe that Jiang Chao's version of "Wat Fatty" has too many people in the market. He would rather take advantage of the small price and never lose money. In other words, it looks like "Li Dazui".
But Jiang Chao believes that Wang Kaixuan and Li Dazui do have similarities-they are real and have shortcomings, but they are equally strong and soft. "Everyone has a different understanding of Wang Kaixuan. Just like me and Wang Kaixuan, both of whom came from the army compound. They both love reasoning, they do n’t cause trouble, they are not afraid of things. Awesome, he is still an ordinary person in the whole tide of history. "Jiang Chao hopes that the Wang fat man he shaped can be more authentic and grounded, and try to be as cute as possible to make it easier for everyone to accept.
Contented with life with filming
"Wulin Gaiden" has been aired for 14 years. During this period, many people repeatedly asked Jiang Chao that the co-actors in "Wulin Gaiden" have become very popular. Only he is still playing a supporting role and a small person. Do you mind the popularity? Being compared? Jiang Chao has never evaded this slightly offensive question, "What's this to mind? Sister Yan Ni, Yao Chen, and Sha Yi are very good. 'Fire' should be."
In the past 14 years, Jiang Chaowu has been enjoying himself in the state of "have drama". He always recalls the hard days of playing water and performing chores in the troupe. "Now there are roles for me to pick. When someone invites me, they still call me" Mr. Jiang ". I did two of these things at that time. I ca n’t imagine the beautiful dream of the month. ”He hopes that whether he is the protagonist or supporting role, he can stick to the field of small people and work hard, always reminding him how to climb from the well to the ground step by step.
B Worked on drama and carried on track
Earn hundreds of hardships a month
Even if life is difficult, Jiang Chao has never been confused. He has only one goal-to do everything he can to survive in Beijing. "People who think about survival will never be confused. Only in order to survive can they have the opportunity to be confused for life."
Before "The Story of the Cooking Class", Jiang Chao had a seven-year career as a dragon.
In 1992, 17-year-old Jiang Chao was admitted to the Air Force Repertory Theatre student class, inheriting the ambitions of the military family and becoming a literary soldier. In the same year, due to his strong body, he quickly obtained his first role, the general Wei Xu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although there were only three scenes, Jiang Chao was in a state of excitement throughout. However, this has become his most popular role in the next seven years.
In order to make a living, Jiang Chao spends most of his time doing chores in the troupe, opening the water and carrying the track, except for occasionally picking up dubbing jobs. He once revealed in an interview that once he followed the crew into the mountains and filmed a movie, and waited until the big troops went back to dinner, only to find a track fell in the mountains. Jiang Chao ran back on the mountain road for forty minutes. As a result, he didn't even give him a daylily, and only one person handed over half of the buns he had already nibbled.
Even so, the chores are not every day. Once idle, Jiang Chao soaked in Sanlian Taofen Bookstore next to the museum. It was the first place in Beijing that allowed readers to read books for free. For at least three years, Jiang Chao often bought a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water. He rode a bicycle from the troupe to the bookstore early in the morning to fight for a stand that could sit and read. From reportage and prose to classics, the all-encompassing reading opened a door for Jiang Chao. "I still benefit from the days of studying in those years. Your outlook on life and world will become more open, and your experience as an actor will also become richer."
C Shang Jing is a distinguished professional
Xiao Jiang and Da Mou are remembered as lucky
In every interview, he always politely calls the reporter "teacher"; at the end, he will sincerely express gratitude. Whenever someone on the street blurted out "Little Jiang" and "Big Mouth", even if the other party couldn't call out "Jiang Chao" for a long time, he was happy to nod and respond. "A lot of actors have masterpieces, but everyone can remember the role I played. This is a rare thing!"
Jiang Chao's three turnarounds in his career were inseparable from director Shang Jing.
In 1999, the Kongzheng Repertory Theatre rehearsed the play "Wings of Peace", with Shang Jing as the director, starring Wang Xueqi and Wang Chao, and the third main character, A, Hei Tower's A corner was Hong Jiantao. Later, due to various reasons, Hong Jiantao did not participate in the show, and the opportunity suddenly fell to the 23-year-old B Jiao Jiang Chao. This is the drama "Xiao Jiang" who opened the water. For the first time, he has the opportunity to stand on the stage as the protagonist. "Some people may give up gradually when they feel that hope is slim, but I would rather wait forever."
The role of Heita spanned from 19 to 70 years old, which is a great test for actors. The troupe was full of doubts about the "protagonist of the small drama", and many people proposed to change roles, but Shang Jing insisted on rehearsal before deciding. During the rehearsal, Jiang Chao's state was on the verge of "magic stun". He was anxious to suffer from severe insomnia every day. He could only sleep for three to four hours and lost a lot of hair. In order to better explain the old age, he used his many years of voiceover experience to try to approach the character's vicissitudes of voice first, and then gradually grasp the performance accurately. Until the end of the first rehearsal with makeup, Shang Jing commented, "The role of Black Tower has stood on the stage." This sentence also made Jiang Chao's actor career, and then stood up.
After this cooperation, three years later Shang Jing planned to make the TV series "The Story of the Cooking Class". Jiang Chao became one of the earliest identified actors. "Little Jiang" was also tailor-made for Jiang Chao. Then in 2006, Shang Jing also played the third "pointer" Jiang Chao as "Li Dazui" who was grounded, loved and greedy in the "Wulin Gaiden". If "The Story of the Cooking Class" gave Jiang Chao a masterpiece of life, "Wulin Gaiden" made him a national actor. Although later due to image limitations, Jiang Chao did not receive a new script for almost a year, but after experiencing Ji Jilai, he decided that he was lucky enough.
