Benedict Cumberbatch once played sherlock Holmes in the high-scoring British drama "Sherlock", which was affectionately known as "Curly Fu" by fans, and his superb acting skills in films such as "Doctor Strange" and "Imitation Game" are obvious to all.
Pay is always rewarded, the recent American blockbuster awards ceremony, the New York Film Critics Association Awards in the list of winners, "Roll Fu" with its outstanding performance in the movie "The Power of dogs", won the "Best Actor" in the selection in one fell swoop.
When interviewing the behind-the-scenes production staff after the award of "The Power of Dogs", the crew also revealed that Benedict's entry into the film was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and he once kept the staff at a considerable distance from it in order to act for several weeks without bathing.
Benedict said he did so voluntarily, hoping he had that stench on his body and wanting to let the people around him know what he smelled like, which would make it easier to fit the characters in the script. However, he also admitted that this operation did make him very troubled, after all, he still had to meet with his family and friends between filming, but fortunately he persevered. "The only thing I'm sorry for now is the cleaning staff who helped me clean the room, she needs to put up with this smell every day"
The reason why Benedict chose to enter the play in this way is entirely because his character in "The Power of Dogs" is such a character.
The protagonist of "The Power of Dogs", Phil, is a brutal farmer who does not trim the edges, and one of his characters in the film is a full old smoking gun, so Benedict will not leave his hand in addition to not bathing and causing the stink.
Even the film's director, Jane Campion, reluctantly said that this role was too difficult for Benedict. It should be known that he does not smoke a cigarette in the film, but a hand-rolled cigarette without a filter, and almost every shot of Benedict is smoking this inferior cigarette, so that it leads to very serious consequences.
According to the director, Benedict felt very unwell after every time he shot smoking, and even suffered from acute nicotine poisoning on the set three times, and Benedict developed strong vomiting and fatigue symptoms and had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
In order to achieve the rebellious state of Phil in the film, Benedict and the heroine Kristen Dunster meet and die, because in "The Power of dogs" they can almost be called sworn enemies, so in order to cultivate this "strange" feeling, they worked in the crew, privately did not say a word, will be cold to the end.
Benedict's super dedicated spirit is really admirable, and the throne of "Best Actor" is well deserved, but coincidentally, on the set of the just-finished "Mission Impossible 7", there are also legends about Atango.
It is said that in order to ensure the most difficult action scenes in the series so far, Atangge hired a personal trainer, experienced a year of stunt training, practiced skydiving more than 500 times, and jumped more than 13,000 motorcycles to perfectly shoot related stunt shots.
With the 59-year-old "advanced age" of Brother Tang still working so hard, the "roll fu" who can't smoke needs to force himself to smoke every day, all stemming from the high requirements for art and his own performance, such an actor is worthy of our love and expectation.
