essential information
Early experience
Wei Dong was born in Baoji, Shaanxi Province. He loved literature and art. He met a "face changing" master named Zhang xutao in a running performance. He was determined to learn from him, but failed. One day, Wei Dong found that there was no gas in teacher Zhang's house. He took the initiative to help him change the gas and carry it to the sixth floor. He sprained his foot on the way and insisted on carrying the gas bottle upstairs. Mr. Zhang found that he sprained his foot because of carrying the gas, and finally accepted him as an apprentice. Weidong is very savvy about the "face changing" technique. After six months of hard study, he can perform independently in Chengdu, but his monthly income is about 1000 yuan. In order to survive better, he decided to go south to Sanya City in Hainan Province to perform. A year later, he went to Beihai City, Guangxi Province, where he met an acting agent named mo. Wei Dong married him to Nanning, Guangxi Province. The reporter once saw Wei Dong perform "face changing" in the performance. Under the sonorous rhythm of the song "face changing", which is as fast as wind and electricity, he shakes his cape and is dazzled by the colorful opera faces. The speed of action and face changing is amazing. In order to make his "face changing" stunt constantly new, Wei Dong created a double change stunt. The puppet "face changing" is a folk stunt that can be performed by only a few artists in China. After three years of hard training, Wei Dong finally learned to be successful. He not only learned to "change face", but also learned the unique puppet "change face" skill of spitting fire, which was highly praised by Guangxi performing arts circles and audiences. on November 11, 2010, her work "double face puppet" won the third prize in the first Guangxi acrobatic magic competition. Later, Li Yan, an acrobatic teacher of Guangxi art school, sent his "face changing" video to Guangxi Performing Arts Group Co., Ltd. (formerly Guangxi song and dance theater), and recommended him to the leaders to be an actor in the theater. At first, some of his friends advised him that it would be better to run on the stage on his own because of the low salary and tiredness of being an actor. But he believes that only by becoming a professional actor and finding a platform suitable for his own development can he develop his own performing career. After an interview, Wei Dong finally became a national professional actor from a grassroots artist. Wei Dong entered the theater, determined to make a difference in his new post and let the audience see his more and more wonderful "face changing" art. He also created "Seventy two changes of Monkey King" by himself. In order to make monkey king alive, Weidong integrates magic elements into "face changing" art, which makes Monkey King more mysterious.
