Many people may not know this, but Teacher Xu Jinjiang is indeed a native of the Northeast, and he lived in the Northeast for 20 years before becoming a famous Hong Kong actor. I estimate that if Xu Jinjiang wanted to speak Northeastern dialect, he would be able to do it seamlessly.
1. Crosstalk actor: Tang Jiezhong’s close disciple.
Xu Jinjiang also has another unknown identity: a crosstalk actor. It's not just a joke (like Cecilia Cheung's apprenticeship with Zhao Benshan), but a serious apprenticeship.
Tang Jiezhong, Xu Jinjiang’s master, is a famous cross talk master. He once partnered with cross talk master Ma Ji and collaborated on cross talk performances such as "Ode to Friendship" and "Plateau Rainbow". He has also collaborated with famous cross talk masters such as Jiang Kun.
And Xu Jinjiang is his closed disciple, the last disciple he taught. After Tang Jiezhong passed away last year, Xu Jinjiang remembered him deeply.
In 2016, Xu Jinjiang partnered with Huang Xiaolei to star in a sketch on Beijing Satellite TV's "Crossover Comedy King"
Probably because he was born in the northeast of the holy land of Mai and has professional training in cross talk, he is a comedian. On this road, Xu Jinjiang has already opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. He is better at grabbing baggage and catching jokes, so that he can interact with netizens on Weibo immediately.
2. Painter: Guan Shanyue’s closed disciple
Many people cannot imagine that Xu Jinjiang is also a painter.
In the minds of most people, Xu Jinjiang has played tough and fierce characters such as Obai and the Golden Retriever Lion King. Xu Jinjiang himself is also a "ruthless character", but in fact he is also an artist. In fact, Xu Jinjiang learned painting from Guan Shanyue, the second generation master of the Lingnan School of Painting, since he was a child. He was a close disciple of Mr. Guan. Later, he was admitted to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.
There must be a little literary youth hidden deep in this big guy's heart. Xu Jinjiang's wife Yin Zhuping told reporters: "Mr. Xu is actually a relatively introverted and boring person. Some of his actions really make people feel completely different from those on TV." Because he is a very romantic person by nature and pays great attention to the mood of life. If he has time, he might fill the bathtub with flower petals, light candles, and then read most of his favorite author's book in the bathtub. Book of Heaven?.
I really can’t imagine this big guy lighting candles and soaking in the bathtub reading a book, but he is indeed an expert in art. On November 21, 2015, the exhibition "Slowly Painting Like a Brocade River" was held in Beijing. It is rumored that one of Xu Jinjiang's works is worth 800,000 yuan.
Famous art critic Ji Tainian commented: "Xu Jinjiang's painting is very professional and has a professional foundation. There are many people in the Chinese entertainment industry who are engaged in calligraphy and painting, but some people just use their own fame to hype up. Xu Jinjiang is not like this, he is considered to be at a high level. ?
A tough life needs no explanation, but an interesting soul can’t stop. Xu Jinjiang has shown the infinite possibilities of stars in the entertainment industry, and we look forward to more exciting things from him.
