In the new year, Korean film and television continue to hang.
After "Parasite" won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Squid Games also made history.
It not only became the first Korean drama to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
Unexpectedly, he also won South Korea's first Golden Globe Award-winning actor -
Wu Yongsu
The new "Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor" is 78 years old this year.
He played the 001 Wu Yinan in "Squid Game", with a mediocre appearance.
Old, weak, sick and disabled, one person accounts for three.
But unexpectedly, he was the "number one player" of the whole drama.
With "Squid Games" topped the hottest series in Netflix history.
The role of Wu Yinan was also played wildly by netizens.
This thin face is truly remembered by audiences around the world.
But Wu Yongsu revealed himself afterwards:
In fact, playing "Squid Game" is purely unintentional.
Director Hwang Dong Hyuk had previously invited him to star in "NamHansanseong", but he refused for time reasons.
This second invitation, Wu Yongsu took into account human feelings and agreed to it.
Even the fact that he won the award and created history was told by reporters.
Wu Yongsu himself was surprisingly calm.
The first reaction turned out to be: Isn't it nominated? This is the award?
Old man, this is the true Buddhist system.
Accidentally acted in a blockbuster drama.
Another one accidentally won the Golden Globe Award.
Don't know, Wu Yongsu can simply be called a "sweeping monk" in the film and television circle.
Graduated from the Department of Drama and Film of Dongguk University, a top film and television school in Korea.
He is the senior of Lee Jeong-jae and Jeon Ji-hyun.
But his initial entry into show business was purely accidental.
Young Wu Yongsu, who has nothing to do all day, accidentally accompanied a friend to the drama scene, and unexpectedly entered the industry.
This performance has been more than half a century.
Although, on Douban and IMDb, he has only 4 works.
But, in fact, he has acted in more than 200 films.
Most of them are dramas.
True Hidden Gangster.
This hidden quality is also the soul of his performance.
Others come to showbiz to be famous.
And Wu Yongsu seems to have come to the show business circle.
Before Squid Games, he was a "high monk".
The most famous is Kim Ki-duk's "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring".
The film cycles through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It tells the story of the life cycle of the young monk from passive birth to falling into mortal dust, and then to completely repenting of the birth of the world.
And the old monk played by Wu Yongsu, although the role is not as good as the little monk.
But it is the "ferryman" of this cycle.
The strong emotional performance of joy and sorrow may be the most intuitive for the audience to feel the "acting".
But Wu Yongsu did the opposite.
Only by braking quietly and silently can we deduce the detachment of a high monk.
Seeing the little monk cruelly taking pleasure in animal cruelty, he was angry at the inherent evil of human nature.
But it didn't show it.
Instead, he took advantage of the night and tied stones to the little monk without a word.
Let him experience first-hand what is done to animals.
"Do not do to others what you do not want."
When the little monk grew up, he committed the color ring again.
He crossed the taboo, joined the female benefactor wildly, and even quietly avoided the old monk at night and entered the female benefactor's bed.
When the old monk found out about their intercourse, he still did not reprimand them in person.
Instead, he wrote the scriptures silently alone.
When the two were asleep, they quietly pulled out the water stopper of the boat.
The cold water of the lake made the little monk instantly awake.
The old monk frowned afterwards, downplaying only the common sentiment of people.
But being silent does not equal facial paralysis acting.
In his restrained performance, Wu Yongsu perfectly interpreted several psychological changes of the old monk.
After the young monk returned to the world, his evil thoughts became more and more unfettered, and he became a fugitive who killed his wife.
He wanted to autistic five senses in order to punish himself.
In the eyes of the old monk, this was undoubtedly a blasphemy against the teachings.
After all, he finally stopped being patient.
Indignant and reprimanded, and even reprimanded with sticks, the whole film reached a climax.
It was also the only time the old monk had erupted.
A little tear in his eye told us that it wasn't pure anger.
It was mixed with helplessness, remorse, and a bitter heart for the disciples.
Finally, the old monk sent away the redeemed little monk.
White-haired, waving goodbye, both unwilling and relieved.
He has completed the last "crossing" of this life, indicating that he will be moving towards the final end, nirvana rebirth.
Wu Yongsu's interpretation of the image of a high monk in "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" is not only the peak of his career.
Placed in the same theme of the movie, it should also be the ceiling level.
What is even more admirable is that although he has been playing a senior monk, Wu Yongsu has never copied himself.
For example, in "The Boy Monk", his performance style is very different.
The setting of this movie is highly similar to "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring".
The same old monk taught the little monk with distracted thoughts.
But compared to Kim Ki-duk's slightly cruel philosophical thinking, "The Boy Monk" emphasizes the ups and downs and warmth of the story itself.
Wu Yongsu's performance state is also more light and relaxed.
In the face of the child monks who wanted to find their mothers, he mostly spoke softly and his face was full of love.
Also a teacher and a father.
The treatment of young monks who have lustful hearts is relatively harsh.
Unabashedly preaching bluntly.
Oh Yong-so differentiates herself when dealing with very similar roles.
The performance skills are indeed hidden by the "monk".
Once you accept this setting, go back to the Squid Game.
And you'll find out —"
No. 001 Wu Yinan is a "dark version of the sweeping monk".
**The following contains spoilers, you can quickly slide through the show without watching the show**
He Bing talked about how to play the role of a villain in the "Round Table Pie" program.
"He's such a dove inside, and we can't play this dove, that's the answer." That's the equation we're going to do."
On the one hand, the villain's "bad" should be hidden and not too straightforward.
From the beginning of his debut, Wu Yongsu has been acting in a "play within a play".
Reinforce your weaknesses and hide your true identity.
Trembling, drooping old posture, confused and confused.
Tricked the people in the play, but also deceived the audience.
When he is disliked by other players, he can even arouse a trace of sympathy from the audience.
At the same time, when everyone continues to refresh the lower limit of human nature, he deliberately shows pure kindness and selflessness.
Especially in the Marbles level.
Wu Yinan pretended to be Senile dementia and lost the marbles to the male protagonist again and again.
Without his "sacrifice", there would be no final victory for the male protagonist.
The audience who could not guess the ending could not help but feel unbearable at the moment when Wu Yinan was "shot".
On the other hand, it is more important to perform why the villain does evil than what the villain does.
It is not revealed until the last episode that this "old, weak, sick, and good" Wu Yinan.
On the contrary, it is the strongest who hides the deepest.
Old age, illness, family wealth, and no concern for life became his advantage in participating in the game.
But it also almost became the source of his evil deeds.
This dialogue with the male protagonist at the time of death is wu Yinan's inner confession.
Along with the marbles level, it is listed as the moment of Wu Yongsu's acting explosion.
Broken voices, faint breaths, lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling.
All show his twisted mind.
Can't find the meaning of life, can only rely on the killing game to give yourself a little stimulation.
It's not so much hateful as it is pathetic.
Looking back, the details of Wu Yongsu's performance have already laid the groundwork for the final reversal.
As early as the first level, he behaved differently from ordinary people
When people are shot and fall to the ground, screaming and panicking.
He led the charge with a mysterious smile, and his posture was particularly sophisticated.
Whether Wu Yinan is simply innocent, or cunning, pretending to be crazy and stupid, he is about to die.
Wu Yongsu can easily switch between the dimensions that conform to the character's temperament.
So even if you are spoiled in advance, you will still be deceived by his superb acting skills.
Although Squid Games is essentially a fast-food drama.
But the villain played by Wu Yongsu is undoubtedly a successful performance that breaks through himself.
Today's great popularity is indeed what he deserves.
Wu Yongsu certainly enjoys the novelty that fame brings him.
When entering and leaving public places, you must also begin to consciously manage yourself.
Colleagues and friends have called to say hello.
Some friends even teasedly asked: What is it like to be a world star.
But he was unmoved by the flood of business offers.
Still maintaining a very "Buddhist" mentality to meet all this.
The only one who was interviewed by Liu Zaishi's variety show "What are you idle doing".
Or because my daughter likes to watch this show.
The roles he interprets are always exploring how people should behave themselves.
The monk's indifference and detachment is exactly the attitude he himself has chosen to deal with the world.
In the show, Liu Zaishi joked about how he planned to spend if he got 45.6 billion yuan in bonuses.
Wu Yongsu was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't think about it."
Even when Liu Jae-seok was further "embarrassed" and asked what Wu Yongsu wanted to buy most.
Wu Yongsu is also willing to use this money to make her daughter rich and fulfill her wife's wishes.
There is also no need for self-consumption.
An understatement of "I'm not possessive."
Completely lived a true "Buddhist" life.
He was grateful and content with the adventures of life that exploded overnight.
But life still has to be lived plainly.
"When I see the beautiful flowers in the mountains, I will pick them when I am young, but at my age, I will stay there, keep them as they are, and keep them in their original form."
Of course, life is not just flowers and applause.
Therefore, he also has an objective examination mentality for the negative nature of the character Wu Yi.
The dark side of human nature is difficult to avoid, but what is more important is how to face the differences in human nature and how to control yourself.
Sophisticated and unworldly.
As an actor, he hopes to reflect social reality through his works.
Influence more people, think about life, and know how to adapt.
To be himself, he is equally humble and loving.
A life full of Zen and poetry is probably like this.
