For a long time, I have not written the "most talented script" filmmaker series, A few days ago I watched Huang Zhengmin's new film "Hostage", today I will talk about this uncle who has super acting skills.
"They said I wasn't handsome, blushed, and had an accent... I actually want to be an actor", this is the line that Huang Zhengmin said in "Hostage" when comforting another kidnapped girl.
This line is actually his own real experience, even if he is now a "tens of millions of actors" (the film has been watched by more than ten million people), he has experienced a long and bumpy period of unknownness after his debut.
Like many unknown young actors, Huang Zhengmin honed his acting skills by acting in a large number of dramas and stage plays, and he and his classmates' wives also reunited in musicals during this period.
It is said that Huang Zhengmin's current film salary is 600 million won, as a box office guarantee, he is a major commercial film competition for the fragrant food, but he has reduced the film remuneration to take over the small cost of "Hostage" newcomer director's work.
In fact, it is very common for Chungmuro celebrities to appear in the films of newcomer directors, such as Liu Yaren is already the Emperor of the Green Dragon Film, and still took over the film "Silent" directed by the newcomer, so that he won the second film Emperor.
In recent years, the development momentum of Korean films has been so fierce, and the promotion of newcomers by Chungmuro celebrities is inseparable.
Of course, making movies is not charity, and actors like Huang Zhengmin have their own unique vision when they pick scripts.
What is the uniqueness of this "Hostage" that attracts Huang Zhengmin?
"Hostage" is remade from the domestic film "Rescue Mr. Wu", which we are very familiar with, and everyone thinks that Huang Zhengmin will play the role of Wang Qianyuan.
No way, who let this uncle grow a tough face, haha. Unexpectedly, people played Andy Lau's big star.
The difference is that Andy Lau played the story prototype Wu Ruofu in the original version, that is, Mr. Wu.
And Huang Zhengmin played himself, which throws out a suspense at the beginning of the movie: is he playing Huang Zhengmin, or a role called Huang Zhengmin?
There are many interesting points between the virtual and the real, such as one of the kidnappers is his fan, who will imitate his classic lines in the movie from time to time.
Huang Zhengmin himself will also integrate his real experience into the storyline from time to time, such as the above paragraph that comforts another kidnapped girl with the ups and downs of his debut experience.
But the other parts have nothing to do with Huang Zhengmin himself, more like Ding Qing's possession, full of firepower, strong combat effectiveness, and finally the hostages save themselves and overthrow the kidnappers.
Online reviews say that this Korean film is not as adapted as the original, but it still maintains the consistent style of Korean black crime films, such as the tradition of black police.
Although the hostages saved themselves, they ridiculed the most scummy police in South Korea, if it were not for the kidnapping of the star, how efficient it would be (and finally put together by the kidnappers).
At the end of the movie, I think the filming is quite good, and Huang Zhengmin's expression changes when he sees the actor who plays the kidnapper, which is worthy of the level of the movie emperor.
In the end, he agreed to the kidnapper actor's request for a photo, and it was quite intriguing to think of the plot where he refused to take a photo at the beginning of the story.
The director of "Hostage" has been nominated for Best Newcomer Director at this year's Korea Blue Dragon Awards, the film has also been nominated for Best Picture, and both kidnappers have been nominated for Best Newcomer Actor.
It can be seen that this uncle's vision of picking the script is quite good.
Our domestic audience is familiar with Huang Zhengmin mainly because of the "elevator god of war" in "New World", I have written a Lee Jeong-jae before: the most can pick the script of the "charismatic uncle", the following comments many people mentioned Huang Zhengmin who formed a CP with him.
This Korean gangster film Douban scored 8.9 points, and was also selected as the Douban movie Top 250, but it was not so popular in South Korea, although it almost won all the nominations for best picture, best director, best actor and supporting actor at the three major film festivals in South Korea that year, and finally only Huang Zhengmin won the Blue Dragon Award.
Only "New World" was not born at the right time, that year just happened to encounter blockbusters such as "Guan Xiang", "Su Yuan", "Snow Country Train" and so on, Huang Zhengmin snatched a movie emperor in the hands of Song Kanghao, Xue Jingqiu, and Liu Chenglong.
Of course, Huang Zhengmin is absolutely deserved. He not only created the role of Ding Qing, but also gave this role vitality, it is said that Ding Qing wore slippers on the plane, and the famous "come here" of the elevator god of war are all improvisations by Huang Zhengmin.
This is the actor of the bull break, not only can play the role well, but also based on the in-depth understanding of the role, creatively show more details of the role, so that it is more full.
Last year, "New World CP" reunited and acted in a black crime film "Save Me from Evil".
The quality of the film itself is average, and the reliable performances of the two film emperors are still wonderful, and they are both nominated for the best male protagonist of the Green Dragon.
In fact, this uncle was recognized in South Korea for his acting skills not "New World", but let him get the first Qinglong Film Emperor's love film "You Are My Destiny".
To tell the truth, this movie with a strong Zhiyin style, if it were not for his and Quan Duyan's god-level acting skills, I would not be able to watch it at all.
A rural boy fell in love with a girl with an unbearable past, and after a fervent pursuit, he finally became a family, thinking that the two would live a happy life from then on, but the heroine's ex-husband came to the door, and the heroine also suffered from AIDS.
It is such a clichéd story, after deliberately gaining weight, Huang Zhengmin actually interpreted it extremely touchingly.
Finally, the crying scene in the detention center was super substitutionary and infectious, no wonder it could beat another uncle who played a god-level acting skill, Cao Chengyou's "Marathon".
This uncle also has a resounding name "Korean Liang Chaowei", I think it has nothing to do with looks, the main thing is that the acting skills of these two people belong to the "acting like what" type, and the elasticity is extremely large, and it will not be easily fixed.
Huang did not belong to the handsome type when he was young, playing a simple boy in the countryside, and when he began to act in black crime films after he was 40 years old, he felt that his acting path had opened a new door.
From "Improper Dealing", "New World", "Veteran", "Prosecutor's Tale", "Cry" to "Asura", "Agent", "Gunkanjima"... He almost played prosecutors, policemen, lawyers, and even jumping gods.
But I think the uncle still plays the most outstanding small characters, such as I personally like it very much, crying a lot, and angrily beating the five-star "International Market".
This film is known as the Korean version of "Forrest Gump", which is a rare joy and sorrow of a small person to see the great changes of the times in the context of the Inter-Korean War, and to see how the fate of the individual is linked to the fate of the country.
Huang Zhengmin acted from youth to old age, and interpreted how an ordinary Korean ordinary person shouldered the heavy responsibility of the whole family and walked through a long and arduous life road, delicate and vivid, and every Korean father will be very touched when he sees it.
This movie made Huang Zhengmin win the first Big Bell Award.
I always thought that this uncle had already made a Grand Slam of The Emperor of Shadows, and after checking it out, he already had two Qinglong Emperors and two Emperors of the Great Bells, and now he lacked a hundred thoughts.
For the "Emperor of a Thousand Faces", the realization of the Grand Slam is just around the corner.
