10 years ago, there was a very popular Korean drama called "WutaFang Wang Shizi", and Choi Woo-sik played one of the little eunuchs, who was called "Xiao Huang" or "Uncle Huang" because he often wore a yellow sports suit.
At that time, everyone probably did not expect that this humble single-eyelid male actor would become the love of major directors in the future, and even become the male protagonist of love films.
In an interview with You Quiz, Choi talked about his experience of acting on his way back from Canada at the time, as his ex-girlfriend said his eyes were popular in South Korea.
When he said it, the program team specially matched the photos of RAIN, Kim so-hyun and Liu Yaren.
Liu Zaishi and the staff next to him laughed wildly, although they were all single eyelids and small eyes, but they were obviously not the same thing, haha.
Xiao Cui's appearance is actually not a typical Korean handsome guy, with a "dog face" (positive meaning), which is the cute puppy "Kaaki" in Korean.
This harmless temperament of people and animals was recognized by the great director Bong Joon-ho, because he could make people have a subtle compassion, and successively found him to act in "Jade" and "Parasite".
I have to say that the big director's vision is poison, and even Liu Zaishi has inadvertently paid special attention to him several times during the interview, which is a typical God rewarding rice to eat.
From Xiao Cui's interview, it can be seen that he is a very thoughtful, introspective actor, and has also had fears and doubts about the actor's profession because he has been playing the same type of role.
It wasn't until he took over "Giant" and won six newcomer awards, including the Green Dragon Award for Best Newcomer Actor, that he continued to firm up the road of acting.
Director Bong Joon-ho noticed him precisely because he saw his performance in "Giant", so it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a work that changed his life.
I deliberately went to find this movie to see, Xiao Cui is the absolute male protagonist, and the main line of the whole story is basically around the talents played by Xiao Cui.
The film's director, Kim Tae-yong, also won the Green Dragon Best Newcomer Director, and the script is said to be based on the director's personal experience.
The story itself is quite ordinary, but Choi Woo-sik's performance is very powerful, and his two-sidedness is fully displayed.
He parasitized in a welfare home similar to a church house, showing extreme well-behavedness while stealing the shoes of the welfare home to sell.
Because of his looks, you don't even suspect that he's a bad kid inside. Even if he has a distorted personality, you can't hate him, but will sympathize with him.
In the last scene, he threatens to commit suicide with a knife, and even threatens the tutor, but when you look at his eyes, there is no evil shadow at all, it is a poor child.
This trait is really a rare talent, so Xiao Cui's later role as a contrasting Sven scum is very emotional.
You can go to the B station on his swear words and English cut in "Hunting Time" and "Witch", which is very cool.
Because "Giant" won N Newcomer Awards, Xiao Cui's film resources are like Kaihang, in addition to director Bong Joon-ho, there is also park Jeong-hoon, the director of "Witch", who is the one who made "New World".
And, of course, there's the zombie blockbuster "Busan Trip," which made him a young double-million actor.
After a few years of mixing on Chungmuro, I didn't expect That Cui to come back to acting in a love drama, or a campus fresh wind "That Year, Our Summer".
From this drama, it can be seen that Xiao Cui has his own ideas for picking the script, and everyone says that the role of Cui Xiong is basically his true color.
The appearance is still the familiar unlucky dog look, haha. There is a fit with himself, but this drama is a little different from ordinary love dramas, providing him with space to play his acting skills.
It is said that Xiao Cui himself is very hard to promote the business of this drama, as the monthly fire drama of sbs, it is very conducive to enhancing popularity, although the ratings in South Korea are average, but the popularity of this drama on Douban is very high, and even in the case of updating a few episodes, it rushed to the Douban annual Korean drama top 10.
Before seeing some public trumpet propaganda said that Xiao Cui had worked hard for many years to finally become the male number one, in fact, it was not Oh.
As early as 2015, Xiao Cui starred in an unpopular love drama "Haojiu's Love" as the male number one.
I have also recommended this drama before, because it is the work of Yin Lanzhong, the screenwriter of "This Life is the First Time", and the characteristic of this writer is that the lines are written very well.
The female protagonist was a VERY popular UIE at that time, and I have always felt that UIE, like Shin Shijing, is an actress who is difficult to have a sense of CP with the male protagonist.
What is rare is that in this drama, her rivalry with Choi Woo-sik is quite beautiful. It can be seen that although Xiao Cui is not the type of domineering male protagonist, he does not have an aggressive long opposite and it is easy to have a sense of CP with the female protagonist.
By the way, he also acted in a high-scoring comic comedy "Ambiguous Man".
Unexpectedly, people and Zhang Jilong are also very compatible, and there is a super chemical reaction between the two.
And when he was a supporting role, he starred in two "Special Case Task Force TEN", which has nothing to say about the provocative vision.
I have not seen Xiao Cui starring in Luo Pd's two slow variety shows "Summer Vacation" and "Yin Stay" before, but those who can be favored by Lao Luo must not be wrong.
This time watching him on you quiz can understand that he has a very natural sense of variety. And from the interview, it can be felt that the South Korean actors can play and live, including chicken brother An Puxian, Liu Junlie, baby fish Li Donghui and so on.
Only by maintaining a keen sense of life can we better shape all kinds of people in film and television works.
Speaking of Xiao Cui, from movies to variety shows, there are noble people to help, no wonder even in the stone god is envious.
With the talent of God to appreciate food and eat, a sober mind and the ability to introspect, there is drama luck and nobles, and the future of 90 years of Xiao Cui can be expected!
