This year's Spring Festival stall is more special and has three characteristics.
First, the overall box office shrank.
Due to the epidemic and high ticket prices, the overall box office has shrunk significantly, and even if the first place "Chosin Lake No Shumun Bridge" wants to sell more than 5 billion, it is difficult.
Second, the overall quality of the film is not bad.
8 films are wonderful, even the bad reviews of "Four Seas" is Han Han's initiative to change, can not be simply attributed to "bad films".
Third, many of the old faces we are familiar with are absent.
In the old movie stars, "Bi-Zhou Cheng" is not there, and in the new 10 billion movie emperors, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao and so on are missing.
In this situation, some former supporting roles and even newcomer actors can emerge and give people great surprises.
Today we will take stock of the 6 most "amazing" actors in the Spring Festival file.
None of them have ever been popular before, but with the performance of this Spring Festival stall, they have left a deep impression on the audience.
01, Wei Xiang: Faintly a bit of "Yin Tianqiu" feeling, although there is still a gap with Shen Teng, but he is changing...
After Shen Teng exploded, Happy Twist had actually been looking for Shen Teng's successor.
They used "Shy Iron Fist" to praise Allen, and "Li Cha's Aunt" to praise Huang Cailun, but all failed.
After several attempts, everyone understood that Shen Teng was not replicable, and he brought the happy twist to the height that should not belong to it.
Wei Xiang is a very special existence among the many actors of the twist family.
In 2003, he participated in the first drama of Happy Twist, and can be regarded as a meritorious elder.
But after that, it was rumored on the Internet that he and Happy Twist had a disagreement, and finally stayed because Shen Teng tried his best to keep it.
After the contract expired, he gave up the renewal of the contract and instead joined Xihong City Pictures, which was founded by Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
Therefore, in the two happy twist films "Shy Iron Fist" and "Li Cha's Aunt", Wei Xiang did not participate.
However, in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" voted by xihong film owners and happy twist flowers, Wei Xiang still won a lot of scenes and contributed an annual hot meme.
This "This Killer Is Not Too Calm" is still cast by the film owners of Xihong City, Shen Teng does not act, and Wei Xiang has naturally become an absolute candidate for male number one.
Objectively speaking, after this film was finalized, almost everyone was not optimistic.
The harmonic stem of "ancestral" has zero content, and the little people stand in the spotlight, letting the golden supporting role Wei Xiang be the protagonist, which seems to be the life of the street.
However, the film was well received after its release.
Although the film is remade from a Japanese film, it is lackluster in terms of drama, but as the only pure comedy film in the Spring Festival file, it really brings joy to everyone, and Wei Xiang has become the key to success.
"Killer" can be seen as Wei Xiang's personal performance show, and he has shown his performance skills that have been backlogged for several years.
For example, pretending to be a killer rushing into Harvey's office, the action scene of licking the knife directly makes people laugh and numb;
For example, the passage that pays tribute to "Song in the Rain" dancing in the rain is full of poetry;
For example, the iconic micro-expression, switching from a dragon suit to a cold-faced killer in a second, is unbearable.
Of course, if you want to be the protagonist, you must not only play treasure, but also walk the heart, in the past this part was completed by Shen Teng, this time Wei Xiang himself came, he can always inadvertently reveal the bitterness of the little people in the gap between the funny, and faintly have a bit of the feeling of Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy".
The success of "Killer" marks the success of Wei Xiang's transformation, and Shen Teng finally has a comedian who can pick a beam.
Of course, at present, Wei Xiang is still more suitable for playing supporting roles, and the protagonist must pick the script, and there is a big gap between Shen Teng and Shen Teng.
But we are already happy to see his change, in the Easter egg at the end of "Killer", Wei Xiang burst into tears after the killing, and kept bowing to the staff, and his efforts were finally seen.
02, Han Dongjun: No longer a "tool man", he has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese film.
Han Dongjun's previous label was "idol star", until he starred in the "Heartless Mage" series and the drama version of "Hawthorn Tree Love" before being recognized by everyone.
Last year he starred in "Chosin Lake", which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an actor.
There are seven companies and six soldiers in the film: Wu Qianli, Wu Wanli, Yu Congrong, Mei Sheng, Lei Suisheng and Hepinghe.
The other five are full of characters and distinct personalities, only Pinghe is a sniper, lacking memory points and famous scenes, so after the release of "Chosin Lake", Han Dongjun's sense of existence is obviously not as good as that of the others.
In "The Water Gate Bridge of Chosin Lake", Han Dongjun's role has greatly increased, and he has also created a flesh-and-blood sniper image.
At the beginning of the film, it is explained that Wu Qianli's brother Wu Baili died in order to cover Pinghe, and this setting suddenly made the character of Pinghe vivid, he was no longer a tool man on the battlefield, but came to the battle with remorse and a heart of gratitude.
Pinghe was the highest level of shooting in seven companies, and every time a battle reached a stalemate, he carried Bazooka into the battlefield, and a shell solved the battle, and the sense of presence was full.
After that, he rushed from the pipe to the pump room of the Watergate Bridge with his comrades-in-arms, and his comrades-in-arms sacrificed to block the grenade, and his crying scene showed the tenderness of the iron man and made people move.
Of course, the most classic scene is that he carries an explosive bag and flies to block the tank, this scene can be called the most tragic scene in the whole film, when the tank runs over his flesh, Pinghe uses his last breath to signal to the squad leader Wu Qianli to "shoot immediately".
Wu Qianli tearfully pulled the trigger, explosives exploded, peaceful sacrifice, Han Dongjun also left a strong performance in Chinese film history.
03, Chen Yongsheng: From the dragon set in "Deer Ding", to the male number one, and then to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he is not just a lucky boy
Friends who watched "Sniper" are probably impressed by this scene -
The soldier of the Fifth Company, Dayong, could not help himself in the face of the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, hiding in the trenches and sobbing, his body also trembled, and his tearful expression was extremely penetrating, which stung the heart of every audience.
The actor who plays Dayong is called Chen Yongsheng, who is only 24 years old this year, and he has just graduated from Nortel, he is almost a blank piece of paper, and before starring in "Sniper", he only had a few cameos in "My Sister", "On the Cliff" and Zhang Yishan's version of "Deer Ding", which is far from the protagonist of the movie.
However, Zhang Yimou saw Chen Yongsheng's plasticity and designated him as the star of "Sniper", which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chen Yongsheng.
"Sniper" tells the story of civilian heroes, the film is set in the 1952 War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea "Cold Gun Cold Gun" movement, the story takes place on an unknown hillside, the protagonist of the story is not the SHARPshooter reported by the US military Liu Wenwu, but an unknown soldier dayong in Liu Wenwu's fifth class.
Chen Yongsheng's characteristics are just suitable for playing Dayong, a civilian hero, Dayong has experienced growth in the film, and at the beginning he was a coward who loved to cry, and he was reprimanded by the squad leader Liu Wenwu for a few words and wept, Liu Wenwu was angry and scolded him for "crying a hammer".
But then in the fierce confrontation, Dayong witnessed the death of his comrades one after another, and he also completed his growth in a short period of time, and finally became a lone hero, using the tactic of attacking the east and the west to kill his opponents with one shot, and also comforted the ghosts of the five squads of fighters.
Chen Yongsheng also followed the character of Dayong to complete his growth, and in the credits, his position ranked before Zhang Yu and Zhang Yi, the first male protagonist of the proper.
In the opening program of this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala, "Happy and Auspicious Year", Chen Yongsheng also followed a group of big celebrities in the circle to the stage to greet the audience.
At only 24 years old this year, he can look forward to the future.
04, Qi Xi: The former goddess of literature and art, finally decided to break the circle
"Miracle Stupid Child" tells the story of the struggle of a group of small people, including the god of the Internet café, the boxer who has just come out of prison, the widowed elderly in a wheelchair, and the deaf single mother Wang Chunmei played by Qi Xi.
In the film, Qi Xi performed the most tragic scene in the whole film, Wang Chunmei was working in the factory, because the equipment was not protected enough, her eardrums were damaged, and she had to wear a hearing aid.
After losing his hearing, Wang Chunmei repeatedly appealed unsuccessfully but was retaliated against, and the thugs sent by the other side came to their small workshop, first verbally threatening Wang Chunmei, and then the little slapped Wang Chunmei, Wang Chunmei immediately returned a slap to him, the two quickly fought together, and the audience looked extremely heart-wrenching.
Then Yi Qianxi kicked down the little bastard with a flying kick, and the workers of the small workshop also came up to help Wang Chunmei complete the counter-killing, and the director resolved this contradiction here in a romantic way, but the sad background behind it is still unbearable to taste.
Wang Chunmei's actor Qi Xi has a unique temperament: weak and hard, do not touch her, she may be a poor worm squashed by society, but as soon as she goes to provoke, she can immediately erupt into the anger of the puppet to give the abuser a color.
This temperament makes Qi Xi become the object of favor in literary and art films, she graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, just debuted and starred in more than 700 Meng Jinghui's drama "Rhinoceros in Love", accumulated profound performance experience, and then with "Floating City Mystery" and "Long Days in the Earth" is well known to everyone, the melancholy temperament is prominent in the entire circle.
Pi Ge was most impressed by her in the variety show "Director Please Advise", Qi Xi as a contracted actor has his own artistic standards, he rejected Bao Bell's popular script, and instead acted in Degna's "Back to the Burlegen River" and "Borrowing Light" Liang Long's "Branding Flowers Scatter" and other literary short films, the whole person exudes a charming artistic cold light.
This Spring Festival file, she showed her excellent acting skills with an ugly performance, and the next film queen may be her.
05. Geng Le: Finally transformed, will the second spring be far away?
Compared with "Changjin Lake", one of the biggest differences in "Water Gate Bridge" is the addition of two roles, one is the commander of the three companies Zhang played by Du Chun, and the other is the commander of the artillery camp Yang played by Geng Le, of which Geng Le's performance is eye-catching.
Many people's impression of Geng Le is still stuck in Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days", in which he is a sunny big boy, which has become a label that Geng Le can't shake off.
After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts that year, Geng Le entered the show business circle with an angular appearance, and many directors took a fancy to his clean and refreshing appearance and invited him to star in his debut film, and the early Geng Le acted in the kind of youthful films, such as "The Subway to Spring", "Fancy Years" and so on.
Later, with the increase of age, Geng Le's youthful atmosphere is no longer there, and his career is not tepid, until last year, when the audience saw him, they found that he had transformed, become rough and became manly.
In "Breakout", he played a flowing general manager Niu Junjie, who combed his uninhibited hairstyle, had a hot temper, nicknamed the Bull Devil King, and Yan Ni formed a CP.
"Breakout" had a mixed reputation after it was broadcast, but Geng Le's transformation made everyone shine.
In the following year, he played roles in film and television dramas such as "Chinese Doctor", "1921", "Who is the Murderer", "My Father and Me", "Ask the Heavens" and so on, and that young teenager had become a vicissitudes uncle.
I think the producer of "Chosin Lake" is looking at his new characteristics to let him play a cameo role in "Watergate Bridge", there are not many scenes of Geng Le in the film, but the role of Yang Yingchang, who is thick and thin, is brought to life.
When he first appeared, he behaved rudely and thought of several cannons in his hand, but after meeting with the Seventh Company, the wandering of his eyes after learning that Lei Gong had gone to his world made people see the delicate mind of this man.
Later, Wu Qianli summoned the Seventh Company to grab weapons for his artillery battalion, and he immediately called on the soldiers of the artillery battalion not to let the Seventh Company see the joke, and the competitive side was also revealed, and the look in the eyes when he finally said goodbye to Wu Qianli was also moved.
Geng Le's participation makes the character group portrait of "Watergate Bridge" more colorful and plump, and he will surely usher in the second spring of his career after his transformation.
06, Chen Halin: 9 years old, can perform "mourning without hurting"
Objectively speaking, the Spring Festival "Miracle Stupid Child" is a mediocre story, it can be filmed interestingly, in addition to the skill of director Wen Muye, mainly thanks to the performance of the actors.
The actors in this film can be described as full acting skills online.
Among them are Yi Qianxi, a leading figure of the new generation, Tian Yu, Wang Ning, and Xu Juncong, who became famous early, Zhang Yu, Wang Chuanjun, and Qi Xi, actors of literary and art films, and Zhang Zhijian and Yongmei, who have become famous early.
But what impressed me the most was the little girl's actor, Chen Halin.
Born in 2013, Chen Harlin is only 9 years old this year, but I was amazed by her talent in acting.
In the film, she plays the sister of Yi Qianxi, a heart patient, which can be said to be a combination of sadness and cuteness, and the little girl accurately grasps the scale of the performance.
In fact, the film can be divided into two lines, one is the entrepreneurial line, and the other is the family line.
The line of entrepreneurship is relatively thick and plump because there are a number of good actors participating. The line of family affection is mainly interpreted by Yi Qianxi and Chen Halin, if the two young actors are smashed, this line will collapse, and the whole film will be "lame".
Fortunately, the two actors contributed wonderful performances, Yi Yanqianxi needless to say, he is best at playing the role of such stubborn teenagers, and the acting skills in this film are more mature, making people instantly enter the play.
And the sister played by Chen Halin has captured Shen Yun, and in terms of appearance, the director seems to have deliberately drawn a black eye circle for her to show a kind of pathology, and the little girl's flashing big eyes and talking is really pitiful.
In the performance, the little girl also did not hurt, there is almost no emotional collapse in the whole film, and she is acting in every scene.
For example, there is a scene where Yi Qianxi, in order to sell his ideas to the boss, rides an electric car to the train station, and falls on the road with a blue nose and swollen face.
When she got home, her sister saw that her brother was injured and asked with concern what was wrong, and the brother said it was all right, and the sister sensibly did not ask.
Asked the brother to go to the hospital for examination, the brother again perfunctorily said that it was okay, the sister also sensibly did not force, asked the brother to go to the pharmacy to see, this time the brother agreed.
Obviously, the little sister has learned to compromise and make concessions in the chat again and again, and her care is full of a sense of proportion, which is comforting and more poignant.
After watching Miracle, I was sure that this 9-year-old girl would have an infinitely bright future.
Well, the above are 6 actors who shined in the Spring Festival file.
If you have the opportunity to watch the above movies again, you can pay attention to the performance of these actors.
They also tell us with wonderful performances that China has never lacked good actors, they just lack an opportunity, as long as the opportunity comes, anyone can bloom dazzling brilliance.
