Who is the first male actor in Chinese?
Everyone's answer may be different.
But to talk about acting, on awards, on international influence, in summary, the candidate in Uncle Yu's heart is him-
Liang Chaowei.
One of only two Cannes film emperors in the country.
Seven golden statues and three golden horses are unparalleled in forty years.
Ang Lee praised that Liang Chaowei is the kind of actor that all directors dream of.
Moreover, Liang Chaowei is notoriously introverted and low-key.
He doesn't bother to show his face in public, much less hype himself.
Because real actors have always spoken only with their works.
Two days ago, Liang Chaowei appeared on the hot search, but it was still only related to the movie.
The new film "No Name" was completed.
This movie is a spy war theme, and it is once again partnered with Zhou Xun.
Coincidentally, the last cooperation between the two dates back to "The Wind Listener" ten years ago, which is also a spy war film.
In Uncle Yu's mind, this is the most underrated one of Liang Chaowei.
Its most controversial point is that it actually let Liang Chaowei play a blind man?
As we all know, Liang Chaowei's eyes are dramatic.
Wong Kar-wai once said, "Leung Chao-wai can act with his eyes alone."
I still remember that in "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren witnessed his boss lose his breath in front of him, only one look, and interpreted the wordless sadness to the extreme, enough to seal the gods.
Can you think from another angle, doesn't this just reflect Liang Chaowei's strength?
They all say that he has "eye skills", well, then this time close his eyes and show everyone the real "acting skills".
As a result, he was still nominated for the "Golden Statue Emperor" of that year.
Liang Chaowei played a blind tuner in the film, and he was blind since childhood, and he practiced excellent hearing.
The underground party played by Zhou Xun took a fancy to his unique job and asked him to join in, responsible for finding out the enemy radio station.
For most of the film, he wears gray pupils and sunglasses.
In order to show the living habits of blind people, Liang Chaowei injected ingenuity into the details.
When walking, always half on the side, first take a leg to explore the way, and then shrug your shoulders out.
When bringing the rice to the table, first determine the position, then bend the handle into an arc, and finally put the bowl into the hoop.
In the second half of the film, he heals his eyes and restores his light.
However, he made a mistake during a surveillance, which led to the murder of his comrades.
He felt guilty that he could not forgive his mistake, and even poked himself in the eye, just to stop being distracted.
Therefore, why is it said that Liang Chaowei is the first male actor in Chinese.
The performance in The Wind Listener is the best answer.
Everyone praises Liang Chaowei's acting skills most prominently in his eyes and smile, but he can put them all down.
"The Listener" is completely an acting award by Liang Chaowei.
From the street thugs of the city servants to the revolutionary workers with great righteousness, the performance styles before and after the film are completely different.
Emotions fluctuated greatly, and Liang Chaoweiyun grasped it lightly.
There's another interesting thing about that.
In fact, "The Wind Listener" was filmed by Liang Chaowei's "rolling drama".
At that time, he was also filming Wong Kar-wai's "A Generation of Grandmasters", but Wong Kar-wai's shooting cycle was too long, and he could not wait for the completion of the game.
Liang Chaowei saw the script of "The Wind Listener" and immediately decided to take it.
Why?
Because it was his first spy film and such a complex blind character.
He believes that the biggest challenge is, "Acting and acting as a blind person are contradictions that cannot be taken into account."
At that time, Liang Chaowei had won all the awards he should have won.
But still keep trying different themes, different characters.
From comedies, to action films, to literary films...
He has been wandering between characters of great spans.
The more difficult it is, the more it will stimulate his interest.
Treat each opportunity to shoot a scene as a challenge and a flight.
I wish him another flight like this.
