Under the eager expectations of many book fans, the live-action episode of "Three-Body" that has repeatedly released pigeons has finally had new news!
On November 3, the first trailer of the "Three-Body" TV series caused a huge response on the Internet.
The short three-minute trailer recreates several classic scenes from the first part of the novel.
And director Yang Lei's bold casting is also surprising, no one can imagine that he chose Wang Chuanjun to play the genius physicist Ding Yi in the original book.
Wang Chuanjun's body has a label that is difficult to ignore - Guan Gu Magic,
This Japanese manga artist, whose pronunciation is never correct when Chinese, can be said to be his famous character.
Just like Li Yunlong to Li Youbin, this kind of character who is "played alive" by the actor will cover up the actor himself many times.
Especially for a newcomer like Wang Chuanjun, who does not yet have many well-known works, it is easy to make people unfree and subjectively tie the character to him.
When Wang Chuanjun is mentioned, everyone's first impression is that of the somewhat stunned man in "Love Apartment", who has been hanging "Nani" and "cutting his abdomen to commit suicide" on his mouth.
For a fledgling newcomer actor, it is naturally not a bad thing to be able to impress the audience so deeply.
But at the same time, this is also a layer of shackles for the actor himself - which means that no matter the actor's play path is fixed,
Fame in comedy is limited to comedy, and fame in tragedy is limited to tragedy.
This is not a bad thing. The so-called "three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the yuan",
If you make up your mind to drill deeper in this direction, the achievement will not be low.
But how can young people in their early 20s stop there?
When he heard that "He Came Please Close Your Eyes" was planning to start shooting, he liked suspense novels and introduced himself to the crew.
But after reading his resume, the other party very euphemistically rejected "you are a comedian." Wang Chuanjun touched the ash on his nose.
In a 2014 interview, he confessed that he didn't really like the role of Sekiya Magic.
Because this role is actually a very restrained point in the play, he needs to be restrained and carefully interpreted.
He wants to evolve into a killer, he wants to play a villain, he wants to play a role that is more tense, more difficult, and more open for him to play.
But these roles will not find him, it seems that after three consecutive "Love Apartment", the impression of the outside world on him has solidified.
But he was still trying, and when asked by reporters if he was afraid of being stereotyped, he confidently replied that there would be a change.
He said that the thing he most wanted to see was that every time the film he played was released, everyone would not recognize which one was him, so he would feel very happy.
So, when "I Am Not a Medicine God" was released in 2018, the audience was surprised to see a Lu Beneficiary who was oppressed by illness and family.
In front of this worldly shrewd, cowering middle-aged man, where is there a little shadow of "Guan Gu Magic"?
Lu Beneficiary in "I Am Not a Medicine God" is a patient with slow myelogenous leukemia, in order to play the role of this disease,
Wang Chuanjun insisted on dieting and weight loss, and before the film started shooting, he jumped 4,000 ropes a day, and after the official start,000, it increased to 8,000 per day.
There is a scene in the film where Lu Yi, whose life is coming to an end, wakes up in a hospital bed.
In order to show the weak, sick image, he forced himself not to close his eyes for two days and two nights, and when it came to shooting, the whole person was out of phase.
He also cut his hair to a bald head – because chemotherapy causes hair loss.
It turns out that his efforts were not in vain, and the accumulation of these details eventually succeeded in shaping an impressive, three-dimensional figure.
Xu Zheng, who starred in the film together, jokingly said that he no longer dared to cooperate with him because he was too hard to make the movie.
However, for his efforts to get rid of the label of "Sekiya Magic", many netizens also expressed their dissent.
The cause is a sentence once said by Wang Chuanjun.
He said in an interview that he actually didn't like to play the magic of Guan Gu.
And he also publicly stated that the reason why he did not want to participate in the "Love Apartment 5" and "Love Apartment" movies was because there were too many implanted advertisements.
Not to mention that this drama itself borrowed a lot from classic European and American comedies such as "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "The Romantic History of Daddy and Mom" when it was created.
But before that, when "Love Apartment" fell into a plagiarism storm, several leading actors expressed their attitude of supporting "Love Apartment" - including Wang Chuanjun.
The unanimous opinion of many netizens is that anyone who comes to scold "Love Apartment" for plagiarism can do it.
But you Wang Chuanjun can't, a person should not "pick up the bowl to eat, drop the bowl and scold the mother." They believe that Wang Chuanjun's current attitude is to "set himself up", which is self-hype.
But at the same time, some netizens believe that people are constantly growing and developing, and they can't always look at him in the state of a person a few years ago.
After experiencing some things, everyone will inevitably undergo a slight change of mentality.
For example, 2016 was a major turning point in Wang Chuanjun's life.
At the end of 16 years, director Zhang Jiajia's new work "The Ferryman" had a good box office success, but the reputation was extremely poor. But in the face of the unanimous bad reviews of netizens, the famous director Wong Kar-wai (who is also the executive producer of this movie) stood up and said that he liked this movie.
Because he believes that there are shortcomings to make progress. Subsequently, many celebrities also followed the trend, and for a time the comment area was full of screens "I also like".
However, in a quiet little corner, Wang Chuanjun was saying, "I don't like it."
He used to like Wong Kar-wai's works, but people can change, only facts will not change, if the works are really bad, then dislike is not to become like.
This may be because in this year, he experienced two consecutive life and death partings. First his friend Qiao Renliang committed suicide due to depression, and then his mother died due to worsening cancer.
The bad news that came after him made him a little upset, and inadvertently seeing the screen full of "I like it too" was even more inflammatory.
The successive departures of relatives and friends gave him more thought: If one day he suddenly left, how would others remember him?
A third-rate actor who plays a third-rate comedy?
A short-lived white-faced kid who became famous for comedy?
He didn't want to be remembered in such a way, and he wanted to prove himself with a really good work.
The simple four words "I don't like" look like a belated period of rebellion, but they are his annotations for the rest of his life.
He sold all the famous watches and cars he had bought, took the bus, rushed the subway, pedaled the bicycle like ordinary people, and cooked vegetables at home when there was no drama to perform.
Such "fireworks" are very important to him, and these daily lives are full of "nutrients".
It is from these daily trivialities that he has absorbed more things that he has not experienced, which allows him to better play different roles.
Like the nameless horse boy on the beach in "The History of the Demise of Romanticism",
Usually speaking a Shanghainese dialect, I seriously discuss with other people about harmful deeds,
But from time to time, a meat strip or two will come out of his mouth, full of the breath of the city, as if this character really lived in that era.
Look back at Chen He, who was also famous for "Love Apartment", although he still starred in many well-known novel adaptations or original works after that,
But "Zeng Xiaoxian" is still a label that cannot be torn off his body, and the audience can still see the shadow of Zeng Xiaoxian through the new role he plays.
It seems that his play path has been limited to the scope of this role.
And Wang Chuanjun, after experiencing the process of self-precipitation, obviously has a lot of improvement,
The role he played was always far from before, and it was almost impossible to recognize that he was playing it.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life and self-thinking, Wang Chuanjun finally broke through the original self and raised his ability to a new level.
It is not difficult to understand why he was able to get Ding Yi in "The Three-Body Problem", a role that was completely out of line with him.
When the episode airs, he will definitely bring us new surprises.
