Cai Ming's parents said it was Cai Ming.

Cai Ming, a famous sketch actor. As early as when she was in primary school, she became famous for playing "Little Hai Xia" in the movie Hai Xia. Later, he starred in divorce war, Naughty Troops, Temporary House, Psychological Clinic, Sister Ma and other film and television dramas. At the same time, he, Guo, Zhu Shimao and others performed many well-known sketches in CCTV Spring Festival Evening and Super Variety Show, becoming well-known comedy stars. How did Cai Ming embark on the road of performing arts? What was her "true face" in life and what was her image in the eyes of her parents? To this end, we went to my parents' home in Cai Ming.
Cai Ming is a child just like her father.
We have long heard that Cai Yuping, our father, is a professor in the Department of Enterprise Management in capital university of economics and business, and Dr. Yi, our mother, is the chief physician of a big hospital in Beijing. Both of them have retired.
Cai Ming is lively, cheerful, and likes singing and dancing, reading and performing. Mrs. Cai said more than once: "Cai Ming is especially like her father?" When Cai Ming entered the kindergarten, her talent in dancing and singing was quickly revealed, and she became a literary activist in the garden. After school, she became a member of Beijing Children's Palace Art Troupe and the backbone of Beijing Yinhe Youth Art Troupe.
Xiao Cai Ming has a pair of big eyes and a pointed chin, which is very cute. She not only inherited her father's artistic and acting talents, but also had a natural sense of humor. Cai Ming's mother talked about such a thing: During the Cultural Revolution, Cai Ming was in the third grade at Caishikou Primary School. I came home at noon one day and said to my mother, "Cough? Today I made a big mistake and shouted a wrong slogan. " It turned out that all the teachers and students criticized the headmaster that morning, and the class teacher gave Xiao a serious political task, asking her to take the lead in shouting a slogan when the criticism reached its climax. Because she listens to eight model operas broadcast on the radio every day, and the principal's name is homophonic with the hero "Wu Qinghua" on the stage, when the criticism meeting is coming to an end, Cai Ming Jr. suddenly stands up and shouts with his fist: "Down with Wu Qinghua-"The audience suddenly burst into laughter; Make it impossible for criticism to continue. ...
Playing "Little Sea Man" is famous all over the country.
As we all know, it is a turning point in Cai Ming's life and the starting point for her to embark on the road of acting. Cai Ming's parents told us about the little-known tortuous course of Cai Ming's lucky "selection" of George W. Hai Xia 25 or 6 years ago ...
Cai Ming Jr. is in the fourth grade of primary school. One day, several uncles and aunts from Beijing Film Factory came to school with cameras and said they would choose some little girls as actors. The teacher naturally recommended Cai Ming Jr., who loves singing and dancing and has a glib tongue. At that time, several people from Beijing Film Studio took some photos for Cai Ming and several other female students and left. It is said that thousands of little girls are photographed in this way.
When Cai Ming came home from school that day, she told her parents that she wanted to be an actress. The adults didn't take it seriously, so they told her to study hard and listen to the teacher. Unexpectedly, three months later, just when everyone had forgotten about it, a group of people from the Hai Xia crew of Beiying suddenly came to Caishikou Primary School, including the famous actor Chen Qiang, the actor Chen Zhijian who played "You two dog" and Xie Fang who was originally scheduled to play Xia Hai. At that time, they took the script of Hai Xia, told Cai Ming a script, and then began to audition. When "you two dogs" suddenly broke into the classroom and caught Cai Ming in the play, she was not frightened, but also kicked him impromptu and escaped skillfully, and several actors applauded her. At this point, Cai Ming Jr. was shortlisted. In the second round of investigation, there are still seven little girls to choose from. In the third round, only four "Little Hai Xia" were left, and Cai Ming passed smoothly. Finally, only Cai Ming Jr. and another little girl from an artistic family competed for the role of Hai Xia Jr. At this time, it was found through audition that Xie Fang was older, and the hero was played by young Wu Haiyan, but Cai Ming was chosen to play little Hai Xia according to Xie Fang's face, so at this time, the director and experts had a dispute with Cai Ming and another little girl who would play little Hai Xia. Another little girl looks more like Wu Haiyan, but her acting skills are not as good as Cai Ming's, while Cai Ming and Wu Haiyan are basically different, but her performance is the best. The crew finally decided to play little Hai Xia by Cai Xiaoming.
Soon after, the crew informed Cai Ming's parents that two days later, Cai Ming would go to Zhangpu County, Fujian Province to film with the crew, and told them not to let their parents go to the railway station to see them off. This is the first time Cai Ming Jr. has ever been out of town. Last night, his mother packed simple things for little Cai Ming, and his parents urged her to listen to her uncle, aunt and grandparents when she went on location. She should pay attention to her health and safety. Cai Xiaoming remembered everything, and she fell asleep very late that night. ...
However, after getting on the train, Cai Ming Jr. remembered that he was going to be far away from his parents soon, and even cried. An aunt quickly bought a popsicle for little Cai Ming to coax her, and she calmed down.
Cai Ming Jr. left home to make movies in Guangdong and Fujian coastal areas, and it took more than half a year. Although she left her parents, the adults of the crew took care of their four or five little actors, so little Cai Ming soon fell in love with the big family of the crew. As for homework, she did better than her classmates at school, because the crew specially invited a good teacher to teach these little actors with the crew every day. At that time, it was difficult for primary and secondary schools to attend classes normally.
1In the autumn of 975, Hai Xia received rave reviews after its national release, especially Cai Ming's performance left a deep impression on the audience, and Cai Ming became an extremely rare film "child star" at that time. But when Cai Ming came home, she was still a spoiled little girl and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Father supported Cai Ming to join the Northern Film.
After graduating from primary school, Cai Ming entered junior high school. At this time, her younger brother was born, so Cai Ming, who loved to do housework since childhood, got another "job" every day. She washes diapers and clothes before and after school, and of course, she plays with her brother. ...
When she graduated from junior high school in Cai Ming, many literary and art groups asked her by name. The leader of the dance team of the Guangzhou Military Region Warrior Art Troupe was deeply moved by Cai Ming's beautiful dance as early as the filming of Hai Xia, hoping to recruit Cai Ming as a team member, and the leader of the Beijing Film Studio Actor Troupe also wanted to recruit the acting genius Cai Ming into his own company. Whether to continue studying in high school or join a performance group, at that time, Cai Ming didn't know which way to go.
As a girl of 13 years old, Cai Ming certainly has to listen to her parents. Therefore, with the support and encouragement of his father, Cai Ming Jr. was lucky enough to join the actor troupe of Beijing Film Studio. However, my father, who has been engaged in education for half his life, made a request to Cai Ming, asking her to continue studying culture classes after she entered Beijing Film School. Father told Cai Ming more than once that cultural knowledge is the foundation of every job, and it is impossible to be a good actor without a solid cultural foundation.
Cai Ming, a newcomer to the actors' class of Beijing Film Factory, and a dozen other actors who were admitted without taking the test, took remedial culture classes as their main task in the first year, and most of them did not immediately let people perform. A year later, on 1977, the leaders of Beijing Film Art Troupe decided to send more than a dozen young actors with special skills, such as Cai Ming, to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy for further study. Cai Ming, who was less than 15 years old at that time, was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, which surprised her classmates-well, does the Film Academy also recruit young college students? That year, college entrance examination enrollment had just resumed, and Cai Ming, as a student of grade 1977, was the youngest in the school.
Speaking of it, Cai Ming not only inherited his father's artistic talent, but also benefited a lot from his father's guidance and teaching from time to time in the past 20 years. Although Cai Ming's father is a professor of business management, he is also an expert in performance, singing and other artistic appreciation. Since the mid-1980s, CCTV Spring Festival Evening sketches have appeared in Cai Ming for many years. Cai Ming always tells her parents the sketches she is arranging, and asks her father to give her opinions and suggestions on her programs, and her father can always give her suggestions for revision.
Two years ago, Cai Ming brought home the video of Sister Ma, starring himself, so that his father could "watch it carefully". Professor Cai took the time to watch her daughter's new work carefully and frankly pointed out the problems in the program and performance. Many opinions and suggestions coincide with the directors. It seems that Cai Ming and his father are also bosom friends in performing arts.
This girl is affectionate and charitable in her life.
Professor Cai had just finished the anecdote about "Sister Ma" when his mother couldn't help interrupting. She said: "In life, Cai Ming is actually like Sister Ma. She likes to help others since she was a child. She is warm-hearted and has a unique personality wherever she goes. All ages like her ... "
Five years ago, Cai Ming went to Ningxia with the Art Troupe and was warmly welcomed by the local people. After the performance, Cai Ming and members of the Art Troupe went to the school to express their condolences and visited the farmers' families. During this period, Cai Ming learned that few local children can finish middle school, especially two farm boys who have just received college admission notices, but they are all trying to make up thousands of dollars in tuition fees. Enthusiastic Cai Ming immediately promised that she would help the two students finish their college studies.
After returning to Beijing, Cai Ming was busy with acting and filming, but at the beginning of each semester, she always gave her brother thousands of dollars and sent the tuition to the two Ningxia students on time. These two college students often write to Cai Ming to report their study. They all graduated last summer. One of them told Cai Ming in a letter six months ago that he would take the postgraduate entrance examination. Now Cai Ming and his younger brother are waiting for the good news of his postgraduate entrance examination?
Professor Cai said that just after the Spring Festival in 2000, I thought I should stay at home for a few days, but I was still very busy. It turned out to be the most tense moment in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival party in 2000. While directing a sketch, a middle-aged female directors and Cai Ming's tutor suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Cai Ming cried when he heard the news. Female directors is a middle-aged native, old and young. His children are at school, and the cost of the operation has not yet been settled. Just after the Spring Festival, Cai Ming and some friends quickly contacted more than 30 friends in the entertainment circle to donate money. Some friends are in other places, and when they hear the news, they also lend a helping hand. The first operation fee was quickly collected. With the help of Cai Ming and many friends, the director finished the operation in time. Not only that, during the Spring Festival, I wrote a sentence on a New Year card with my old partner Guo and Song Zu Ying, Mao Ning and others in Beijing, wishing female directors a happy Spring Festival and an early recovery? The director happily took Cai Ming and their hands, and tears filled his eyes with excitement. ...
Cai Ming's mother said that Cai Ming not only cares about friends inside and outside the circle and rural children, but also cares about orphans and disabled children in welfare homes. As early as a few years ago, Cai Ming learned from the newspaper that the economic situation of Beijing Children's Welfare Institute in Qinghe, Beijing was not optimistic. The average daily food cost for each child is only 3 yuan ... Cai Ming is very worried. She believes that children in welfare homes need more care and warmth. She decided to go to the welfare home to see these children when she was free and do something for them. ...
On Children's Day that year, I contacted children's favorite hosts and actors Liu, Dong Hao and Chang Guitian, drove a cart to the Children's Welfare Institute, and took all the children to a restaurant to have a happy Children's Day. The children are sitting at a long row of small tables. Do they really like this meal? Several waiters standing by looked at those unfortunate and lucky children and couldn't help crying. After having dinner with the children, Cai Ming gave them schoolbags and other small holiday gifts, and then sent them back to the children's welfare home. This is the happiest day for children, and it is their real festival. They feel the true feelings of the world from Cai Ming and others, which is better than their relatives.
