　 　 The hilarious movie directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei has been released in the national "Cheap Explosion", using a feast of laughter to ignite the 2014 summer season and become the decompression artifact of this summer. This "Chao’s Comedy" directed and starred by Deng Chao for the first time was released on the same day, and it was regarded as a "masterpiece of integrity" for multiple Hollywood blockbusters. Today, when a smile is hard to come by, Deng Chao and Yang Mi’s subversive work "The Master of Breaking Up" has an amazing ability to make laughs "one laugh in 20 seconds, one laugh in three minutes", and was praised by Yao Chen as "you can take over Zhou Xingchi’s class". Today, the film side posted again "Come on, Deng Sihao!" In the promotional video, netizens summed up Deng Chao’s well-deserved "Deng Sihao" as "a good husband, a good father, a good actor, and a good director"!

Deng Chao was named "Deng Sihao" by netizens who supported the "second" ticket grab

　 　 Today, the film released "Come on, Deng Sihao!" promotional video, which records the behind-the-scenes of Deng Chao’s first time as a director, not only working extremely hard, but also making people envious in life. Empress Sun Li sweetly supports, etc., Xiaohua is well-behaved and cute, the picture is warm and sweet and happy, and more enthusiastic fans summarize the essence of "Deng Sihao": Empress’s good husband, etc., and Xiaohua’s good father, a good actor on the screen, and "The Master of Breaking Up" makes him a good director on the shooting scene. The well-deserved "Deng Sihao" has a good harvest in family and career, which is simply too happy and enviable!

Deng Chao pioneered "Chao’s Comedy" and directed and acted in "The lowest is invincible"

　 　 Deng Chao was the first director to "produce" the movie "Breakup Master," which is known as "Chao’s comedy". It is different from the usual comedy genres such as nonsense and telling jokes, and has re-created a new form of domestic film comedy. In the film, Deng Chao plays Mei Yuangui, a "breakup master" who specializes in breaking up people. This is an astonishingly close-mouthed character, which can be described as bottomless, dishonest, and extremely underhanded. Playing cross-dressing, showing off fresh meat, being beaten up, acting cute in pink pajamas, showing off your tongue skills with lewd expressions, sometimes charming and charming, sometimes wild and unrestrained, flirting with female security guards on the street, dancing wet in black silk leather skirts, smoky makeup, glamorous eyes, thigh slits and orchid fingers, "myriad shapes" are dizzying, "Deng Chao is too handsome, too cheap and too coquettish, completely subverting the previous image, but I like it more, handsome and handsome!" The heroine Yang Mi is even more happy: "The first time I have this feeling, Deng Chao is the heroine. He is mainly responsible for beauty in it, enchanting and charming, and he will complete all the wonderful sufferings. This may also be a way for the director to take care of me."

　 　 "I think laughter is too extravagant for us. In fact, laughter itself is the most beautiful expression, and it is also the simplest. So I think this matter is very meaningful to me. So our movie is to convey laughter to everyone and reduce stress. As long as this goal is achieved, our goal will also be achieved."

Yang Mi makes a sturdy appearance without makeup, and the female man of Beipiao becomes the best Yang Mi

　 　 Not only did Deng Chao change his previous image, but the subversive appearance of the heroine Yang Mi also stunned the audience instantly. Yang Mi played the female man of Beipiao "Ye Xiaochun" in the movie. As early as in the trailer, the audience remembered Yang Mi’s line "The old lady is a sturdy woman". Yang Mi appeared naked 80% of the time in the whole movie, perfectly restoring the classic image of a Beipiao female man: troublemakers fight, blow beer and eat dirty skewers, and be able to calm down and chew radishes when eggs are smashed on their heads. A sentence "This city is too big, like a valley, we shout towards the valley, but we can’t hear the echo" speaks the hearts of countless Beipiao family. Take the "foot odor" slot that is popular on the Internet to blacken yourself. As long as you feel it in place and disregard your own image at all, you are an absolute "self-blackening queen". In the film, Yang Mi and Deng Chao are a pair of happy enemies who go from suspicion to cooperation to mutual affection. The two have been performing hilarious stories one by one during the emotional journey of "love and killing each other".

　 　 Yang Mi, who challenged comedy for the first time, has always expressed his feelings in this shooting: "In fact, after filming, I feel that there are really many ideas and surprises, and there will be many things that are not usually seen in the script." And Yang Mi’s performance has also been affirmed by directors Deng Chao and Yu Baimei: "Yang Mi was very hard at the scene, and she was pregnant when shooting, but if she couldn’t hold on, she would never stop. I believe everyone will accept this new" Best Yang Mi "very much.

Sun Li and Han Han lead the star group, Liu Yanaza "beautiful and ridiculous"

　 　 In the movie "Breakup Master", in addition to seeing the subversive performances of Deng Chao and Yang Mi, there are also a bunch of stars who are black. Liu Yan and Naza, two beautiful women, have shown unprecedented "comedy talent", and Sun Li, Han Han, Jinxing, Dale, Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Cao Kefan and Olympic champion "ice couple" Shen Xue Zhao Hongbo and others have formed a group to help out, which is even more surprising. Han Han starred as a "stealer" who raised a third child behind his wife’s back. Wu Jing changed his image as a tough guy and forced Xie Nan to break up with him. Jinxing even used "excessive androgen secretion" to publicly black himself. And Deng Chao’s wife, Sun Li, is even more self-deprecating on a large scale. "Deng Chao" was captured by the media, and the two were actually "successfully broken up" in the movie. All kinds of stars are addicted to self-deprecation in the film, which not only surprised the cinema audience, but also looked forward to the content.

　 　 Wu Jing and Xie Nan revealed that "in fact, they still have many larger-scale scenes that have not been released, and those parts are even more exciting." Before, some media had asked the director if they were willing to be such a black star. Director Yu Baimei was full of confidence about this: "In fact, we were not sure before looking for it. I didn’t expect them to be happier than us after reading the script, especially Teacher Jinxing, after listening to us on the phone, he said, ‘That’s it, is there anything more ruthless? It’s not enjoyable at all.’"

　 　 "Chao’s Comedy" "Breakup Master" is now in the national hit! Together with your unscrupulous friends, you can have a rare laugh addiction this summer and go to the cinema to challenge your hilarious nerves.

It is reported that the first season of "Golden Pig Jade Leaf" has a total of 24 episodes. The drama is set in the Internet fraud case. It tells the story of trainee lawyer Ye Xiaolai teaming up with live streaming host Zhu Hao to uncover the truth of "romance scam" fraud, save her sister Ye Xiaohui and find her own career path. "Golden Pig Jade Leaf" discusses various social issues such as "romance scam" and workplace injustice. The play’s portrayal of the pursuit of justice and punishment of "romance scam" also gives more practical meaning to the story.

"Golden Pig Jade Leaf" stars Shi Yuanting and Xia Ruoyan, and also invites many comedians such as Tudou, Jiang Shimeng, Pai Xiaoxuan, Zhang Baiqiao, Xu Zhisheng to join. Although the series has high popularity and discussion, the evaluation is also divided.

Some netizens said, "The quality of the skit is very good, and Xu Zhisheng’s role is very brilliant." "The horizontal screen is very textured, the screen editing is also very smooth, and the rhythm is clear." "It suddenly improves the quality of the skit."

However, many netizens came for Zhou Xingchi, and some netizens believed that from the content of the current broadcast, it did not reflect the distinct style of Zhou Xingchi. "It’s not funny, it has nothing to do with Zhou Xingchi" "Forcibly add nonsense style to social issues" "Insinuation + playing tricks, boring".

Some netizens pointed out, "He didn’t play it, and he didn’t direct it. Is this a sheep’s head?"

On June 2, Shi Yuanting, the male lead actor, said on his personal social media account that there are many scenes in the play that pay tribute to Zhou Xingchi, which are very reasonably integrated into the story. He bluntly stated that he heard many unfriendly voices on the Internet when he turned it on, "It is said that our play is just a name of Zhou Xingchi, and it has nothing to do with Xingye at all. In fact, it is not. I can tell you very responsibly that Xingye has seen every episode of the script of our play, every word, and Xingye has checked it. When we shot, every day we shot and edited the material, Xingye watched it."

According to official disclosures, the producers and directors of "Golden Pig and Jade Leaf" are Yi Xiaoxing and Ma Shi, respectively. Zhou Xingchi participated in the production as the promoter of the theater.

In recent years, there have been few works by Stephen Chow. In 2019, Stephen Chow’s "King of New Comedy" broke down during the Spring Festival. In 2023, Stephen Chow served as an executive producer in the animated film "Monkey King".

Therefore, netizens had high expectations for "Golden Pig Jade Leaf". Previously, the news that "Golden Pig Jade Leaf" would be launched immediately triggered a heated discussion among netizens, "As long as it is Lord Xing, it is already full of expectations" "Can I go as a group performance" "Support Lord Xing to rectify the short drama market".

It is reported that at the end of January this year, Douyin and Zhou Xingchi jointly developed and operated the "9527 Theater", which directly faces user content creation.

Zhou Xingchi said at the time: "Short drama is a rapidly developing field of technological innovation and media innovation in recent years. This time, we cooperate with Douyin Short Drama Theater, hoping to bring more joy to the audience. I am looking forward to this new attempt, and everyone will join us."

Seeing the hottest winter break in a year, all four platforms have tried their best to attract effective audiences and improve the retention rate of high-quality audiences. The most typical performance is that all four platforms chose to lift out the dark horse series that the platform is optimistic about during this period. Like iQIYI and Tencent chose "Xianjian IV" and "Praying for the Present", which have a large fan base and potential audience groups. Although the male and female fans of "Xianjian IV" are quarreling because of the ranking issue, this is not wrong for the show itself.

On the contrary, it is because of the dispute between the male and female protagonists that many melon-eating netizens have noticed the setting of the drama, and the correct choice of the controversial point can also reduce the expenditure of the drama’s publicity expenses. At present, it seems that because the fans of the male and female protagonists are not united, the broadcast performance and online performance of this drama are slightly behind. The male protagonist of "Praying for the Present" is Xu Kai, a small student with both good looks and acting skills, and the female protagonist is Yu Shuxin, a small flower who takes into account the popularity of the drama. Compared with the discordant protagonist fans next door, the fans of these two people get along very harmoniously, and they are all focused on the promotion of

It is worth mentioning that "Praying for the Morning" attaches great importance to the promotion of a certain sound in the drama, and the selected staff is also full of enthusiastic and energetic young people. For now, the drama’s drama-chasing atmosphere is not bad. In the face of the strong offensive of iQIYI and Tencent video, Mango TV chose the most popular Chinese horror + unlimited stream theme among young audiences. Although the male and female protagonists of this drama are small and transparent, the novelty of the theme and the excitement of the script still attract many potential audience groups to watch the drama in real time.

Compared with the other two dramas, the only advantage of "19 Layers" is probably that it is starred and can win the attention of a diverse audience. It’s just that the budget of the drama promotion makes it still in the period of word-of-mouth fermentation, and there is no clear word-of-mouth explosion point and plot coolness. But in the current online environment, the most feared thing is that the quality of the drama itself is very good, but because of the negligence of online marketing, this good drama has been completely buried. "The fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys" is the current situation of the film and television drama market.

Although there are many choices of Xianxia themes that are heavily marketed, some audiences with special tastes are still in the period of drama shortage, and they urgently need new dramas of special types to provide nutrients. "Beginning", which is consistent with the theme of "19 Layers", wins from large-scale publicity investment. Only by letting more viewers know when the show will be broadcast and what is the main content, can the purpose of drama promotion be achieved to a greater extent. There are new dramas on all three platforms, and only the slow Youku has no major dramas, which makes users anxious.

Speaking of Cao Cao, the urban emotional drama "Love for a Long Time" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng was successfully broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV. It is said that the production company of this drama and Yang Zi are already old acquaintances, and the new drama of the second cooperation is quite exciting. Although Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng’s CP sense is a little lacking, it should still be expected to become a hit under the blessing of the plot and character, otherwise Youku would not choose to broadcast it on such an important schedule. It can be seen that Youku has always trusted Yang Zi.

It is worth mentioning that several of the dramas that are competing with Yang Zi this time are still films and TV dramas starring 95 Shenghua. If Yang Zi loses the battle at 95 Shenghua’s hands again, it will be easy to be laughed at by the same period of Shenghua and Youku platform, and the identity of the queen of drama and explosive drama will also be questioned. In fact, Yang Zi has seen the power of 95 Shenghua as early as the summer of 2022. For example, the three-party statement during the casting period of "Agarwood Fragrance Like Pieces" and the three official seals shocked the entertainment industry. The reason is that Youku trusts Yang Zi too much.

However, the broadcast results of "Agarwood Like Crumbs" hit Youku hard in the face. The two major traffic cooperation Xianxia dramas were actually crushed by the costume dramas starring 95 Shenghua. First, Wu Lei and Zhao Ruth’s "Star Han Brilliant. Moonrise Canghai" dominated the summer season, and the broadcast results and online performance were unparalleled. Then there is Yu Shuxin, the "Canglan Jue" starring Wang Hedi, which triggered a craze for young people to follow dramas, almost monopolizing the entire summer audience. And Yang Zi’s new drama "Agarwood Like Crumbs" is too average.

So shortly after the show was broadcast, Youku posted a blog post that seemed to contain Yang Zi. Not only was it accompanied by Yang Zi’s hot topic "cake" at that time, but also the text "purple butt explosion" was marked on the picture, which can be said to be merciless ridicule and connotation. Youku’s unkind approach has also attracted Yang Zi’s fans to be dissatisfied for a long time. Now, Yang Zi and Youku have joined forces again to present "Love for a Long Time", or the same 95 flowers as opponents. Can Yang Zi use this drama to make up for the shame and protect the face of carrying the drama flowers?

Objectively speaking, it was not realistic for Yang Zi to achieve respectable success this time. First of all, because of the subject matter limitations of "Going to Love for a Long Time", the film and television dramas starring 95 Shenghua all have a certain degree of basic fans and theme chassis. However, the episode positioning of "Going to Love for a Long Time" urban emotional drama is not advantageous first, and it is easy to be easily crushed by the three dramas broadcast on other platforms. After all, the main factor that determines the broadcast performance of a drama is the audience, not fans, and the influence of fans on the drama is negligible.

Under the circumstance that most drama-chasing audiences prefer Xianxia dramas and costume dramas, the success of the new drama starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng depends on the blood of dogs, but on marketing. Urban dramas with a little blood of dogs have always been able to get very good ratings in the process of going to the stars, and marketing can make the audience understand the main content of the drama as much as possible, and then generate interest in chasing dramas. In addition, the drama "To Love for a Long Time" is a starred drama, and compared with other dramas, it is inevitable that there will be diversions.

But even so, the ratings of Shangxing drama are firmly controlled by 95 flowers. The family ethics drama starring Zhong Chuxi and Yang Chaoyue has been unfavorable from the beginning to the audience rating has been rising, which cannot be separated from the audience rating contributed by the remote control audience. Many viewers are attracted to this drama, and they are also accidentally attracted by Yang Chaoyue’s acting. So if the ratings of this drama starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng are not satisfactory, they will also be complained and connotations by the melon-eating masses of the same period of flowers and fan groups.

Because there are too many ancient costume idol dramas starring in these years, which is far from Yang Zi’s idea of seeking transformation and breakthrough in his early years, what Yang Zi needs most at this time is good results on different tracks. But it is not easy for a drama like "Love for a Long Time" to get very good CVB results, and the most likely step is probably to make a loss. Wanting to get very good network data in a clean situation is nothing short of a dream. Whether Yang Zi can break the label of only being excellent in ancient puppet dramas depends on this performance.

Probably the reason why Ang Lee said he was Xiaosheng was because Chen Guilin still showed some uninhibited youthful atmosphere at the beginning of the film, as if there was a shadow of the monk who amazed the world. But at that time, Ruan Jingtian did not know that the gift given by fate too early could only be close to him, even if it was another ten years, and it was difficult to repeat.

Many mainland audiences may be surprised by Ruan Jingtian’s acting skills in "The Three Evils of Zhou Chu", mainly because most mainland audiences still know him as Ji Cunxi of "Destined I Love You" – a classic tyrant who stands at the peak of Taiwan puppet history. But Ruan Jingtian’s comfort zone has always been a "punk" like a monk and Chen Guilin. For him, who is not an acting professional, this is almost his true character, so he can contribute such a moving texture.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

Returning to the comfort zone is not only a "40-year-old", but also a rare luxury. Although Ruan Jingtian’s acting career has been luckier than most people, he has also faced confusion and bottlenecks during the bubble period of the film and television industry. However, the bottleneck did not eventually compress him to the status of a bad drama professional or a live streaming host, but allowed him to be recognized again and become a teenager again.

"Everyone likes Ji Cunxi, but I don’t."

Ruan Jingtian’s starting point is much higher than others.

The first time was to accompany a friend to interview for a model, but his friend didn’t want to do it anymore, but he was taken by the modeling company. He even reached the level of a professional reserve team when he practiced swimming from a young age, which also developed his long and shoulder-wide model figure. His first appearance after his debut was as the male lead of Penny Dai’s MV. In Hunan Satellite TV’s "Behind the Story" program, he mentioned that he had never learned to act at that time, and was commanded by the director like a marionette on the set. "Xiao Tian, look to the right, look up, look at the camera… This is how I played my first MV."

After that, he took on a large number of MVs of diva-level singers, such as Sun Yanzi, Wang Fei, Zhang Huimei, etc. Zheng Yuanchang, He Junxiang and he from the same company were called "Kaiwo Three Musketeers", and they often bound variety shows in this capacity. Kaiwo is also a leading modeling agency in Taiwan. Lin Zhiling is the senior sister of "Three Musketeers", and Xu Weining, who later ran a long-distance relationship with Ruan Jingtian for seven years, is also an artist of the company.

Two years later, Ethan Ethan made his film and television debut in "Michael’s Dance," in which he played a gloomy dance genius. It was also in this work that he was first noticed by the later "Bole" Niu Chengze.

A year later, Ruan Jingtian starred in the infatuated second man of "Green Light Forest", which is a typical person setting the ceiling. The performance of the show was supposed to take his acting career to the sky, but he was frozen by the agency for his affair with the 17-year-old heroine Liu Pinyan. After that, he could only play supporting roles and cameos for many years. Ruan Jingtian ushered in his first disappointment. At the same time, Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang have successfully soared with "Mischief Kiss" and "The Devil Is Around". Only he has been unable to survive.

Before encountering the project "I’m Destined to Love You", Ethan Ruan was ready to quit the acting industry. The original proposed lead actor Ming Dao refused, and the director Chen Mingzhang tried his best to persuade Ethan Ruan to play. He reluctantly accepted because he thought he had never played a male lead.

Ji Cunxi was not a typical "man setting a ceiling". He was always hesitant between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend, and he was always beaten up for being too scum in the play, and was once evaluated as "the most miserable tyrant". This is also the reason why no one liked the project before it was broadcast.

Who knew that once the broadcast was a mess, the average audience rating of a single episode was 10.91, and the highest segment audience rating was 13.64, which became the first audience rating in the history of Taiwan puppet in one fell swoop, and no one has surpassed it so far. Ruan Jingtian and Chen Qiaoen, who were both at a low point at that time, would cry every time they released the ratings data, for the disappointment of those years.

"Destined to Love You" stills

After "Boss Ba", Ruan Jingtian went all the way. The next year, he starred in "The Lost Dog Queen", and with Yang Jinhua, he performed the "sister-brother love" that was very advanced at the time. Rather than being an idol drama, "The Lost Dog Queen" is actually closer to a female growth drama, and his role as Lucas is the healing and redemption of the elderly female protagonist.

The transformation was like a whirlwind, and in another year, Ruan Jingtian produced the movie "Menga" that won the best actor. Director Niu Chengze developed him who can act in movies. Completely different from the idol drama, he did not have to wear fancy clothes and read exaggerated lines to interpret the "Boss Ba" who was far away from him, but only needed to play the street "little gangster" by instinct.

The year he won the Golden Horse Best Actor, Ruan Jingtian was only 28 years old, and the "praise" and "call" came to him prematurely at the same time, making him feel like a downhill road wherever he went.

In 2013, during the 50th anniversary of the Golden Horse, Ruan Jingtian was absent for no reason. Although he later responded that he was rushing back to shoot "Military Paradise" because the itinerary was not clear, this statement was not accepted by the circle. Later recalling that period, Ruan Jingtian said in an interview, "I was very resistant for a while, and I tried a lot of roles during that time… But the audience seemed to only remember Ji Cunxi, and my performance perception was still stuck at the age of 25."

Although there have been many twists and turns, Ruan Jingtian’s noble luck has always been good. When he first joined the modeling agency, he was introduced to resources by an agent 12 years older, and the MV contract was only softened. Later, thanks to the appreciation of Chen Yushan, the co-producer of "Destined I Love You" and "The Queen of Lost Dogs", he established a foothold in the field of idol drama. The producer of "Mengka" and "The Three Evils in Zhou" is also the same person – Luo Dayou’s ex-wife Li Lie – who was once regarded by Ruan Jingtian as a mentor.

Li Lie later responded to the media that because of the absence of the photo of the golden horse, she had not contacted Ruan Jingtian for ten years, and only broke the ice during the casting of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week". To some extent, this may also have led him to go to the mainland after the Jinma incident, and the movies, dramas and variety shows he has taken on have not been able to produce a single work. At the nomination of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week" last year, Ruan Jingtian told the media, "Thank you, Sister Lie, for taking me home."

In fact, Taiwan’s domestic films have had a difficult time these years, and the situation is very similar to that of the Hong Kong market. Imported films occupy an absolute high box office. In the top 10 box office of the Taiwan film market in 2023, there is only one local film, "About Me and the Ghost Becoming Family". Of the top ten domestic films at the box office, 6 are comedies and 3 are ghost films, and the situation of single genre is also very serious. Although there is still a guarantee of artistic status, the Golden Horse award-winning film is also difficult to compete at the box office. "Three Harmies in the Week" is only NT $46.91 million (equivalent to about 10 million RMB) in Taiwan. The shrinking of the local market makes Taiwanese films doomed to be unable to invest high costs, and comedies, ghost films, crime films and other genres are precisely the most suitable for low-cost creations.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

The epidemic was no doubt an important factor in Mr. Ruan’s return to Taiwan, and he mentioned in the interview that he had taken more time to spend with his family and reorganized his life because many of his jobs had been suspended. In addition to "Zhou Chu," Mr. Ruan starred in "Hunted," a film produced by Zhang Junjun, which landed in mainland theaters late last year.

To a certain extent, the re-entry into the low-budget crime films is also a replica of the self in the "Monga" period. Only after the re-production of convincing works did Ruan Jingtian have the confidence to reveal his heart to the outside world. In the idol drama, it is not his true self. "I say in good conscience that many people like the character of" Fated to Love You ", but I don’t like it that much. I am not that kind of person."

A gangster, but not a hopelessly illiterate

"Little thugs" like monks and Chen Guilin are really Ethan’s comfort zone. This is not entirely an afterthought based on high-profile works, but because such characters are closest to his true self.

Before he was picked up by the modeling agency, Ethan went through a rather rebellious adolescence. He studied in high school for five years, transferred five times, was persuaded to quit school because of constant fights and absenteeism, and finally attended a night school before barely graduating. But his physical fitness is quite good. His family originally wanted him to become a pilot, and he had passed the exam, but in the end he sneaked back to Taipei to break into the entertainment industry.

For those who have not received any acting training, real-life experience is the most important reference for him to perform. And Ruan Jingtian is a pure experientialist. The heart-wrenching crying scene of a friend dying in his arms in "Mengka" is the most colorful part of the entire film. After the scene was filmed, Ruan Jingtian was still immersed in emotions and could not stop crying. The director came to hug him but was pushed away. He asked the director, "Just for a scene to open my wounds, does it have to be so painful to be an actor?"

"Mengka"

Including later going to shoot "Military Paradise", playing a recruit in the movie, and also won the nomination for Best Actor at the Asian Film Awards. At that time, he had just finished his military service, and the recruit was himself.

Although his education level is not high, he is different from the "desperate illiterate" who have been soaked in art examination institutions since childhood, and he has not shown any shyness in all situations where words are required. For example, in the interview, he used the blackboard and eraser to compare the divide between reality and performance. "There is a dividing line between the requirements of the script and his real experience. When the performance starts, you can wipe it off with the board as much as possible, but no matter how hard you wipe it, there will still be a little bit, a little visible but invisible line."

"It’s actually not the so-called feelings and ambiguity," he said of the relationship between Cheng Xiaomei and Chen Guilin. "It’s not that simple. It should be said that at the moment of their lives, the two people who were originally parallel have intertwined, but each other has more important things to complete. Cheng Xiaomei to Chen Guilin, maybe when a person is quiet at night, he will recall that this is one of the few romances in his limited life."

Compared with some artists who replied "I don’t think your question is meaningful", it has to be said that there is also a gap between illiteracy.

Even after becoming famous, his life is extremely normal, which may be an important reason why he can continue to enrich himself from real life and supply it to the performance, and it is also the biggest difference between him and the "208s". He mentioned in an interview with the Beijing News, "My circle of friends includes vegetable farmers, pork sellers, people who have to get up at two in the morning to work night shifts, and very ordinary workers. This is my truest circle of friends. Everyone thinks that artists are very mysterious, and that mystery is just self-restraint, trapping myself in a cage. I just live as an ordinary person, and I happen to work as an actor, and I happen to have the opportunity to act out what I see and hear – I am not a star, just a normal ordinary person."

Using Ning Hao’s metaphor in "Mr. Red Carpet", Ruan Jingtian is not the kind of traditional Chinese medicine bag soaked in warm water that does not eat human fireworks. Neiyu is still building a false "Boss Tyrant" in the world of idol dramas one after another, eating leftovers from Taiwan puppets. And the group of people who first interpreted "Boss Tyrant" have come out of the false mold.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

To a certain extent, the Taiwanese actors in the front line are all people like Ruan Jingtian, who can see the breath of living people, and the life behind them has never been a black box.

At the shortlisted luncheon, the five handsome men did not regard themselves as stars at all when facing the media, but revealed the details of their lives very casually. Ethan Ethan praised the muscles of Xu Guanghan and Lin Baihong, and Wu Dianren would not avoid his girlfriend Shao Yuwei when he met his birthday. He even said that "it is more convenient to rent a house in Hong Kong" when participating in the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.

"I want to finish tonight and then go back to my mother tomorrow and go back to my normal daily life," Mr. Ruan said in a group interview with the media after the awards ceremony. "I want to remember this moment, my current mood, which day in the performance, you will see."

"Three Evils in a Week" is not a perfect movie, but the kind of Taiwanese actor that Ethan represents is a good entertainment footnote. Artists in mainland China never seem to understand what it means to be a living person, either completely emasculating their true character and turning it into a puppet in front of the stage, or interacting with their faces in the live stream. Living person means that the audience can see his small world and his origin from the actor’s body, but they don’t have to know everything.

　　Movie Network News(Text/Zhang Wei) He is the male lead of Chen Kaige’s work "The Yellow Land". As a hot actor in Chinese movies in the 1980s, he was once dull in the 1990s, but Wang Xueqi still continues to take on the role and act seriously. In the past two years, he has starred in many blockbusters that have been well-received and well-received. He also won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award in his arms, but he always uses the word "lucky" to describe himself. Wang Xueqi said that he will keep filming until the day when no one is looking for him anymore.

Being popular is not a must, winning is just luck

　　Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor… Wang Xueqi won numerous awards for playing the role of the Thirteen Swallows in the movie "Mei Lanfang". After being brilliant and enduring loneliness, he now has many masterpieces, but he only calls himself lucky. If these well-received works did not appear, Wang Xueqi would still use his love for performance to shoot the show.

Movie Network: In the 1980s, you were the leading actor of many classic works. At that time, many people came to you for filming. Did you set a higher goal for yourself?

Wang Xueqi:No, in fact, actors are very passive, just looking forward to playing their roles well, let’s touch it, and I don’t know what will happen to a movie in the end, it’s hard to say.

Movie Network: In the 1990s, it seemed that you were a lot quieter? How could you stand loneliness at that time?

Wang Xueqi:There are also new films every year, and I have never been idle. I want to play every role well, but sometimes the book is limited. At that time, I thought that the next one would be better. It is not good to do it without this heart.

Movie Network: Does it feel uncomfortable to watch other actors become popular?

Wang Xueqi:Popularity is not a must. Opportunities are reserved for actors who are well-prepared. Some people may never have this opportunity in their entire lives. I have seen many directors who have been filming like this, from their initial enthusiasm to their diligence and hard work, and then to their retirement. Popularity is like winning a lottery. After all, it is a minority.

Movie Network: Your starring films such as "Mei Lanfang" and "Zhao’s Orphan" have achieved good reputation. Can it be regarded as another peak in your career?

Wang XueqiBefore the performance of "Mei Lanfang", I felt that this film was very important, because it was directed by Chen Kaige, it was a good book, and I had not worked with him for more than 20 years. Now I am not as curious as when I was young. I will take good care of my role and realize myself.

Movie Network: Having won so many awards, has your attitude towards movies changed now?

Wang Xueqi:Not much has changed, now there are more opportunities, the quality of the films is high, and many audiences look at the awards with an outcast mentality. It is rare to win an award, why is it so coincidental that it is you every year? Unless you are very good. The biggest reason I can win awards is because of luck. Many international directors don’t win every work.
　

I will never repeat myself in filming. If no one asks me to act, I will retire.

　　In "Mei Lanfang", the thirteen swallows, the wheel-turning king in "Sword Rain", and every character portrayed by Wang Xueqi is very brilliant, in his own words, he is "never repeating himself". In "Zhao’s Orphan", he has become the villain Tu Anjia, and Wang Xueqi is really changeable. Looking closely at these three characters, there are many action scenes, but who would have thought that 64-year-old Wang Xueqi basically does not need a stand-in?

Movie Network: You will not only shoot commercial films like "Sword Rain", but also films with strong artistic colors like "Rizhao Chongqing". Is there any standard for receiving plays?

Wang Xueqi:Just reading the script. When I saw the script of "Sword Rain", I was very excited and wanted to play it, because this character has been a eunuch for 50 years, but in the world of rivers and lakes, it is a killer leader who is very enjoyable to act. Needless to say, "October Siege", so many movie champions and queens are there. I was very happy when "Mei Lanfang" found me, and in "Zhao’s Orphan", the role of Tu Anjia is very plump.

Movie Network: If the box office of a movie genre is not satisfactory, will you accept it in the future?

Wang Xueqi:As long as it can stimulate my creative desire, my standard for acting is to never repeat myself, and each character has to be different from the root.

Movie Network: I heard that your fights in "Sword Rain" are all in person, and you don’t use a substitute?

Wang Xueqi:There are stuntmen in the play of Dangweiya. I have a good imitation ability. I can learn fast gestures and have good physical coordination.

Movie Network: Do you also exercise regularly?

Wang XueqiPhysical training is very important, I insist on running and jumping every day, often filming outside without any fitness equipment, as long as I can exercise.

Movie Network: Is this also to extend the lifespan of art?

Wang Xueqi:Yes, someone asked me when I would retire. It’s not up to me to have the final say. When no one is looking for you to film, I should retire. When I was filming in other places, there were young actors on the crew. I went to eat mutton kebabs at 11 o’clock at night and woke up at 11 o’clock at noon the next day. How can I be in good health?

Young actors will be forgotten if they don’t work hard, and Chinese films can’t just focus on commerciality

　　When asked in an interview about the young actor’s broken file, Wang Xueqi’s tone was very earnest, with a heartfelt "hatred that iron can’t make steel". Indeed, he has experienced the ups and downs of Chinese movies, and he is outspoken in the face of today’s problems.

Movie Network: Most of the male actors with box office appeal are old actors. Are young male actors starting to break down?

Wang Xueqi:In fact, both opportunities and roles are very important. Nowadays, there are many excellent male actors, but the producer will have his own considerations. He wants to see your commercial value and return. Many reasons will affect whether the actor can participate in the film.

Movie Network: If you see young actors in the crew, would you give them any advice?

Wang Xueqi:Yes, I am very anxious when I see that they don’t work hard, and I will say it very rudely. It is not easy for them to have such an opportunity now. When I was young, I didn’t have such good conditions, so I was very anxious when I saw that they didn’t cherish it and acted inadvertently.

Movie Network: What’s your take on overnight success?

Wang Xueqi:Don’t learn some bad habits. It is true that some people become famous overnight, but if you don’t work hard and there is no good work, the audience will still forget you after a year or two. Many actors are like this, and they don’t know why they ended up going.

Movie Network: In fact, the return of your career to the peak has a lot to do with the prosperity of Chinese films as a whole, right?

Wang Xueqi:Of course, since I started filming "Loess", at that time, Chinese movies were just emerging. They followed the entire environment, the market expanded, and audiences were willing to enter the cinema. Now there are still few good movies, and there should be good movies all year round.

Movie Network: What problems do you think are still existing in Chinese films?

Wang Xueqi:There are many movies of an entertainment nature, and it is not enough to focus only on commerciality, not to pay attention to art, and it is not enough for the characters to fail to impress the audience.

Movie Network: What are your expectations for the future of Chinese film?

Wang Xueqi:It is definitely getting better and better. I can only catch up with a tail now. It is a good thing that Chinese movies have begun to develop in an all-round way. In addition to making money, we must also promote culture and instill good things. You can see the kind of heroism in American movies, which can especially boost morale. Chinese movies should be like this. They cannot just focus on business, but also have heroism and national spirit.
