This can win the award. Are the judges blind?
In 2002, Wang Zhiwen said this when he won the award in the movie " Fanny's Smile ".
actors who bombarded his works, and there is no second one in the history of movies.
If someone else "spoken" like this, he would have been banned by the film and television industry, but this person is Wang Zhiwen, that's another matter.
is so "crazy", but he has gained a good reputation that others cannot reach.
Why is he different from others? What special thing about him that can make most of the entertainment industry speak for him?
is actually because of the four layers of "veils" shrouded in his body.
The first layer: "Dangering the sky and the earth", hovering on the edge of "disappearance" in the entertainment industry
Two incidents that shocked the entertainment industry occurred in Wang Zhiwen, and he almost ruined his career because of these two things.
"Fanny's Smile" incident is one of them. The unprecedented "bombardment" incident that year, coupled with the box office of as low as more than 1 million, made the investors sue him in a fit of anger.
After trial, the court believes that the investor’s lawsuit against Wang Zhiwen for slandering the movie was not established, and the matter was settled.
But unfortunately, , a movie that was criticized by Wang Zhiwen, actually won him the Best Actor at the Moscow Film Festival.
So there is the famous saying "I will never stop talking."
Many people have expressed their discomfort of Wang Zhiwen's behavior. Since this drama is not good, you can ignore it at all. Why do you openly "blame" after taking it?
Later on the show, Wang Zhiwen finally explained the reason after asking.
The reason is that Wang Zhiwen thinks this story is very good, but the film company does not respect the story prototype. He once found the director to modify the script before the filming started.
, but due to various relationships, it was not realized in the end.
Many friends in the circle advised him to bear it, so why bother yourself?
In fact, this is not the first time he has "caused trouble" for himself.
The "business card incident" in 2000 was openly challenged more than 30 media, almost causing him to be "banned".
That day, a reporter came to the crew where Wang Zhiwen was located to interview him. At that time, he was preparing for a highlight.
Just prepared my thoughts were interrupted by the reporter who suddenly broke into it. he told the reporter that he was busy and would be interviewed after the filming was finished.
So the reporter handed over a business card and was about to go out, but he didn't want to see this scene.
Wang Zhiwen couldn't find the tissue for a moment, so he spit out the chewing gum on the business card.
Then he realized that he was doing something wrong, and quickly apologized to the reporter and went to film , but the reporter was obviously stimulated by this scene.
She said to Wang Zhiwen:
"Why are you crazy? If you believe it or not, I will ban you if I go out." .
On the second day, a "Review" led by her and joined hands with more than 30 media reporters was released.
This move caused an uproar in the entertainment industry. The full text of talked about "Wang Zhiwen is a big shot" in a ironic form.
The Internet was not so developed at that time. Journalists were an important channel for artists to promote. Even the agency advised him to apologize and settle things, but he was not.
Later on, at the Golden Eagle Festival, a reporter watched the fun and did not bother to mention the old things again.
Wang Zhiwen said that he did not want to explain, unless it was on live TV, because it would not be maliciously edited.
But the reporters in the audience are still unwilling to give in: "Artists are not popular by the media" .
Wang Zhiwen left a sentence "The votes were voted by the people, and the awards were given by the judges. What does it have to do with your media?"
After saying that, he left the scene without looking back, and in the end the matter was left in vain.
Such courage is not something that everyone in the entertainment industry has.
It can be seen from this that Wang Zhiwen is not the kind of actor who can bow his head for the sake of interests. has his own principles and his own sharpness.
Even if he has been in the entertainment industry for many years, he can't learn that kind of versatile look.
And his imperfection allows everyone to see a real Wang Zhiwen with flesh and blood.
Soon the success of " Black Ice " pushed him to another peak. The acting skills of 's god-like style are enough to prove to everyone that Wang Zhiwen's success has never been based on the media.
From "lying down" to getting into Nortel TV to walking in the entertainment industry, his debut was mixed with a lot of sweat.
Second level: Climb into the examination room, I don’t accept my fate
Wang Zhiwen was 13 years old, and his father died in a car accident. The three of them were raised by their mothers.
He is sensible and often wants to drop out of school to help his mother, but he deeply understands that education is the only way out and insists on not agreeing.
By chance, Wang Zhiwen made a guest appearance in "Code of Conduct" filmed by school, but this experience of made him plant the dream of performing in his heart.
Both brothers who learned of his thoughts advised him to give up this unrealistic idea. has neither money nor appearance, which has become a roadblock on his performance.
Wang Zhiwen has always been a person who refuses to accept his fate. When he learned that Beijing set up an examination room to recruit students in Chengdu, he borrowed 200 yuan from his mother and embarked on the road to his dream alone.
But unexpectedly, fate gave him another heavy blow.
A few days before the exam, a car accident, caused him to pubic to be broken. After the doctor diagnosed it, he told him that he needed to rest for at least 3 months.
This means that he will miss the exam for Peking University. When he was at a loss, Wang Zhiwen made a bold decision: "I have to climb to the exam room even if I climb" .
He asked his brother for help, clear the relationship with the people in the admissions office, and allowed him to "lie down" to take the exam.
So there was a historic scene. "lying" on the stretcher, he finished the test paper while lying down.
The final result proved that Wang Zhiwen was right. He successfully entered Beijing Film Academy with the first place in cultural courses, but his career as an actor was not smooth. After entering the school, he heard that it was not encouragement, but more of it was "unsuitable".
Teacher said: "Although your grades are very good, your appearance is not suitable for acting. Staying at school after graduation is more suitable for you" .
Director said "The role has been replaced, you can't act, we have found the wrong person" .
"Three people become tigers", and after talking too many people, Wang Zhiwen also began to doubt himself: "I am so dark and so thin, and I am not good-looking, can I be an actor?"
His question, Takakura Ken gave the answer.
Ken Takakura pointed to his unpretentious actor colleague and said: "He can, you can do it too." .
With the affirmation and encouragement of Ken Takakura, Wang Zhiwen strengthened his dream of being an actor.
This can leave us with so many classics. Think about it, if he had no one encouraged him when he doubted himself, would he really become a teacher?
If that is the case, it will definitely be a big "loss" in the entertainment industry.
Later we found that those old actors would have more or less traces of performance, and Wang Zhiwen seemed to be the character himself in the play.
The third layer: Nothing has any acting skills, it’s all about
Many old actors are all recognized when they are praised for their “acting skills”.
But Wang Zhiwen said:
"I hate others talking about acting skills the most. There are no skills, it's all feelings."
Yes, for him, acting is to take himself into that role and bring the character to the script to live a life.
This is the three major genres of actors: experience school, method school , expression school .
We are familiar with Leslie Cheung , Chapter Ziyi , Zhou Xun and other household actors are all outstanding players in the experience school.
Wang Zhiwen is also a representative figure among the experiential actors.
integrates all his feelings and understandings in his life into the role, and his acting is more of a relaxed state.
Just like in the well-known TV series " Enjoyment ", hit the glass without hesitation in order to better shoot effect.
At that moment, glass splattered everywhere and blood flowed.
It is to let everyone experience this reality. Only this reality will allow actors to deeply penetrate the audience.
It is also this TV series with only 8 episodes that allowed him to win the Feitian Award and Best Actor, and began to have his own fans. After
, he collaborated with Chen Kaige and to shoot " Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin ". He walked on a wooden board 14 meters high and only one person wide for a day.
In order to make the camera look more realistic, there are no protective measures on the ground and no wire hanging on the body.
On a narrow wooden board in the sky, you not only need to manage your expressions, but also pretend to trip and take off your clothes while walking.
Whether the director or the actor were on the scene, everyone was nervous about him, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
Only he strives for reality and perfection, and walks it over and over again.
If you want to talk about the work of the gods, and also talk about the 2001 "Black Ice", vividly and perfectly interprets what "superbent" means.
Guo Xiaopeng, a man with elegant appearance, filial and graceful appearance, but he is an absolute villain in his heart.
If it were Chen Daoming, he might use black uniforms, black gloves and gold wire glasses to strengthen the role. Of course, this is the method of expression. Maybe after watching it, you will sigh that he is a veteran actor.
Wang Zhiwen shaved his big bald head, wore ordinary clothes, and spoke uneven lines in a calm tone, but he would think he was Gao Xiaopeng himself.
His temperament, which is both good and evil, interprets this role more deeply.
After that, Wang Zhiwen never came down on the altar.
Just like the actor Tong Yao who worked with him said.
Teacher Wang Zhiwen is a lighthouse on my performance road.
This drama is still a classic even if it is taken out now, especially the 7-minute monologue that can be called a god.
The fourth layer: "The God of Lines", the well-known
That 7-minute super-long monologue, if it were someone else, you might have to express it with excitement.
, and , he told his villain's life in a very calm tone. After listening to him, you will feel that "it seems to make sense."
doesn't think he is talking about "fallacies".
This monologue is still regarded as a "line textbook".
Wang Zhiwen's precise control of the rhythm of lines can make the most plain language present a kind of elegance that penetrates people's hearts.
Just like Wang Jinsong 's evaluation of him:
"Teacher Wang Zhiwen's play can be listened to with his ears, and he can feel his movements, behaviors and rhythm without watching."
Wang Jinsong's words are not false. If you bring your headphones to play his play, you will clearly feel what enjoyment is.
You can feel his emotions and his thoughts from the lines, and it is ups and downs and downs, too wonderful
I just want to use the best words in the world to describe him.
Wang Zhiwen's "sober" has hit the face of many celebrities in the entertainment industry
It is this person who won a Grand Slam with the award, but now there are fewer and fewer works.
To be precise, he has fewer and fewer scripts "looked at".
He has his own principles for filming. Just like "Fanny's Smile", you won't just live if you encounter something inappropriate.
really can't be changed, and his "straight personality" will not be let go.
He never markets himself and is not "sleek" enough. It is really "not popular" in the current entertainment industry.
Wang Zhiwen's "clearness" is more than that.
Actors in the entertainment industry will accept endorsements and advertisements to make themselves "more income" when they become famous.
Even an old actor like Chen Daoming has one or two endorsements, while Wang Zhiwen has nothing from beginning to end.
Except for seeing him during filming, he "disappeared" at all times.
Not to mention that now celebrities are crowding to live broadcasts, and even the old actor Zhang Chenguang can't help but get a share of the pie.
But Wang Zhiwen didn't move at all, and even the Weibo , which interacted with the actors and fans, did not open.
. We see him less and less often. remembers that the last time it appeared in " Rebel " two years ago.
When Wang Zhiwen appeared, he was full of aura and interpreted an undercover vividly.
Even as we grow older, the increasingly obvious "oldness" cannot stop netizens' "rainbow farts".
"Even bags are playing in the show."
Conclusion
Wang Zhiwen is like wine stored in the depths of the alley. Even if he never markets, even if he doesn't accept endorsements, or even if he doesn't accept interviews, no one will forget him.
It is his "righteousness", this "reality", and his "persistence" in acting that has made him now.
In today's traffic era, such actors appear more precious.
I hope that in the near future, we can see the style of this "old actor".
Which dramas have you watched by Wang Zhiwen? Are you proud of having such an idol?
