Personal experience

Early experience

1958

In August, Shen Mengsheng was born into a military family in Taipei. He was naughty and mischievous since he was a child. In primary school, he often played truant, fought with children and lifted girls' skirts. After entering middle school, he became a gangster of smoking, drinking, gambling. Later, forced by Shen's mother, she was admitted to the Huashi singing training class. After graduation, she became a little singer in a bar. However, after singing for several years, she didn't make any progress. Later, she was recommended by a friend to perform in Taiwan TV.

Golden Bell Award

After that, his career is not fixed in Taiwan or in the mainland.

Career development

His first play was a single member play with the star long Juner《

Love lock

》In the play, he plays the male protagonist who is kept by long Juner, and then he plays four male roles in a row, which impressed the audience deeply. Shen Mengsheng didn't have much confidence in his acting career. He didn't think he was the best choice. He just wanted to play a small role. He often went to the set drunk every day. Later, inspired by his friends, he began to take his future seriously. Every day, he drank beer at home and studied the script carefully. His kung fu was as good as those who wanted to. Finally, the opportunity came. In 1987, Shen Mengsheng was in Beijing《

Pearl Love

》Qin Tianfu, who was loved and hated, was successfully performed in the movie, and began to establish a personal image in the audience《

Pearl Love

》A successful example was made by Yang Peipei in the same year《

Sweet scented osmanthus in August

》Shen Mengsheng was chosen to play the villain role of Dong Wuqi. As expected, Shen Mengsheng lived up to people's expectations. With the popularity of the play, he became the leader of Taiwan TV and nominated the best actor for the Golden Bell Award. Meng Sheng's outstanding performance makes the top management of Taiwan TV hold great hope for him, and want to promote him as the successor of Liu Dekai. Next, Yang Peipei will make the film《

Spring goes and spring returns

》At that time, the director of Taiwan television once asked Yang Peipei to play Shen Mengsheng in the role of Zhang Laifu and Liu Songren in the role of villain. As a result, the producer strongly disagreed. Shen Mengsheng still appeared on TV as a villain, but his role of Chuangshi was also very popular. 《

Spring goes and spring returns

》After the end of the Qing Dynasty, many TV dramas went to Shen Mengsheng, and he took them all at once《

Furong Town

》And

《

Gone with the wind

》The leading actor, who can play Male No.1 with the famous star Zhao Yazhi and Chen Chong, is elated. But what I didn't expect was that the ratings of these two dramas which Shen Mengsheng held great hope were pitifully low after they were broadcasted. Since then, most of the eight o'clock shows starring Shen Mengsheng had poor ratings. In 1991, his first personal record was not well received, and Shen Mengsheng's career went downhill. In 1992, Shen Mengsheng took on the annual drama of Huashi《

Book and sword

》Qianlong, the leading actor, hopes to turn over with this play. However, after he was put on file, the audience was defeated《

Legend of the new white lady

》After that, Shen Mengsheng fell from the throne of Xiaosheng at eight o'clock.

There's been a lot of gossip

Shen Mengsheng's name is often associated with the actresses he plays in TV dramas, such as Chen Chong / Zeng Qingyu / Cheng Xiuying / Chen Yalan, and many girlfriends outside the circle, including one who lives in Hong Kong seven years younger than him. But their marriage is opposed by their parents. The parents of the well-known woman in Hong Kong were worried that her daughter would marry an actor. They also thought that Shen Mengsheng's achievements and wealth could not be compared with her, which eventually led to their separation.

turning point

When Shen Mengsheng interacted with actress Cheng Xiuying, because he couldn't get a good play, his career declined, which made him drink more and more seriously, and often beat Cheng Xiuying. This incident made the headlines of the entertainment page, which made Shen Mengsheng lose his image in the audience. Soon after, Shen Mengsheng joined Zhou Linggang and moved to the mainland. At this time, Shen Mengsheng could only play some minor supporting roles in Zhou Linggang's plays. Such as《

Happy Dragon Tour

》Li Lianying, monk Sande in the young hero Fang Shiyu《

Chess Warrior

》And so on. However, later, the mainland administration of radio, film and television issued a tightening policy for CO production, which made Shen Mengsheng lose his job in making films in the mainland. After returning to Taiwan, Shen Mengsheng had no choice but to sell beef noodles in Linkou to make a living, but then his luck came again. Producer Ruan Qianzhi (who was born as an actor and played Guanyin in the legend of the new white lady) is preparing for the 8:00 production《

Chastity, heroine, heroine

》The protagonist of the play, master Tong, was originally determined to play Kou Shixun, because Kou Shixun is shooting in the mainland《

The orange is red

》Unable to play, master Tong found a corner on Shen Mengsheng's head. In order to play this role well, Shen Mengsheng gained weight to 85 kg. After the play was broadcast, it received high ratings and received high praise. Shen Mengsheng was shortlisted for 12 nominations of the Golden Bell Award. Shen Mengsheng won the best actor award of the Golden Bell Award in 2001, and his career turned red again. After winning the prize, opportunities came one after another. Several idol dramas waved like him, and Yang peipeipei made new dramas《

Xiuniang

》Zhou Linggang also strongly invited him to play the villain across the sea, and his old owner, Taiwan TV, also invited him to be the host of the show

Anecdotes of characters

"Tan · Dao"

April 2010 film with the background of "March 19" shooting in Taiwan《

Tao

》A meeting was held in Beijing, attended by director Liu Guochang and starring Zeng Kaili, Shen Mengsheng and Hu Tingting. According to the director, due to the sensitive theme, the film has been hindered since it was shot, and the mainland version has also revised and deleted the lines and bloody scenes. The film will be released on the mainland on Friday, and Liu said he was "under a lot of pressure" on the film's box office prospects as such subjects rarely had high box office records in the past.

In the film, Ren Dahua's policeman, out of the political background of the people involved, asks his subordinate Zhang Xiaoquan to stop investigating the shooting case, but Zhang Xiaoquan still decides to pursue it to the end. Shen Mengsheng, who has played in many Qiongyao plays, plays candidate Wu Lixiong, and Taiwan actress Zeng Kailin plays mysterious woman. Hu Tingting, the daughter of Taichung Mayor Hu Zhiqiang, plays a policewoman. Although she doesn't play much, she says she is very happy: "because I can't have a gun in my hand in my life."

Dialogue with director

The crew has received threatening calls

Beijing News: I heard that the film was blocked during shooting?

Liu Guochang: this subject matter is very sensitive, so the whole shooting process is very low-key. The shooting sites we selected are also very remote places, and we can't do any big publicity activities. In fact, during the shooting process, some staff members received threatening calls, but fortunately someone helped us block them, so the shooting process was smooth.

Beijing News: 80% of Taiwan's local audience believe that the explanation given in the film reveals the truth of the incident. What do you think of this?

Liu Guochang: this case has not been settled yet. We have also interviewed some political figures. I can only say that how to combine reality with drama is the biggest challenge I have encountered in this creative process.

Beijing News: it is said that the film was forced to be shown only on a small scale in Taiwan?

Liu Guochang: I was not in Taiwan at that time, but I heard that the distribution company was really hindered. It was also because of the pressure that it could only be shown on a small scale.

Beijing News: what cuts have been made in the mainland version?

Liu Guochang: only some lines and bloody scenes have been modified and deleted. Fortunately, it didn't affect the whole film.
