Acting skills aside, what an actor wants most should be a good script and a good role, which is the key factor that determines whether they can be remembered by the audience.
But there are also some actors, after succeeding in a role, it is difficult to surpass themselves, and there will be a feeling that acting like nothing.
Some actors retreat behind the scenes and find another way to make a living; but there are also some actors who live on one role all their lives, eat old books, sell feelings, and consume the audience's love little by little.
Today we will take a look at these 8 actors who can't get out of the role filter "gone into the fire".
No. 1: Six-year-old child, the Monkey King of a lifetime
Speaking of actors who "live on one play all their lives", we have to mention six young children.
The six-year-old boy, formerly known as Zhang Jinlai, was born in a monkey opera family.
When director Yang Jie was preparing to shoot "Journey to the West", the first thing that came to mind was a six-year-old child, but at that time, the old man was 60 years old, and it was difficult for his physical condition to follow the crew to wade through the mountains and waters.
In line with the principle of "raising the virtuous and not avoiding relatives", the six-year-old child "went out on behalf of his father" and played the role of Sun Wukong in the 86th edition of "Journey to the West".
When the six-year-old child finished the complete makeup and hair of Sun Wukong, it was as if the "Sun Monkey" in the book had come alive, and the image of the "Monkey King" in the book shocked everyone.
With the launch of "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong's popularity was far higher than that of Tang Monk, Pig Eight Precepts and others, and the six-year-old child also became the "top stream" at that time.
In the eyes of the audience, only a six-year-old child is the eternal "Monkey King", and he has also been held up to the altar of performance again and again!
But as time passed, his splendor seemed to be frozen. After the "Monkey King", there is no work of six young children that can match it.
But the decline on the road of acting does not affect the continuous expansion of his controversy.
In order to maintain his reputation as the "classic monkey king", he did not hesitate to adopt the method of "stepping on one and holding one".
Whether it is Zhou Xingchi or Zhang Weijian, as long as it is the actor of Sun Wukong, no one can escape the "guidance" and slander of the six-year-old child.
"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, but I hope that in everyone's heart, only I am a monkey king."
At the "Journey to the West Theme Garden Party", the six-year-old child did not shy away from saying his true thoughts.
Although this has left an image of arrogance in people's minds, it is still "modest" compared to what he did later!
In order to monopolize the "Sun Wukong culture", the famous right of the "Monkey King" was kept to himself.
With the filming of "Journey to the West", he synthesized some of his insights and original works, and compiled them into books for distribution and sale.
In the author's column, the four words "six young children" replaced the name of the original author "Wu Cheng'en".
Even after the TV series gained widespread attention, he sorted out the content and simply made a movie called "Journey to the West".
Hanging sheep's head to sell dog meat, eating it is really ugly! People also gave him an alias: "Six Little Age School"!
However, his demonism is far from over!
In order to make his name "Monkey King" famous, he went to the former residence of Mr. Wu Cheng'en and hung his portrait in front of Mr. Wu Cheng'en's door.
And that's not all, he even built a number of statues for himself and put them in mr. Wu Cheng'en's former residence.
If the tourists who entered it did not look closely, they thought that they had arrived at the exhibition hall of the six-year-old children!
Objectively speaking, "Sun Wukong" achieved a six-year-old child, but also ruined him!
Ruined his own simplicity, modesty, low-key, let him be proud and complacent in Vanity Fair, lost himself.
Even to this day, more than thirty years later, he is still doing activities and selling feelings under the label of "Monkey King".
It's just that he doesn't know that people like Sun Wukong is true, and it's true that they don't like six-year-old children!
2nd place: Lu Shuming, the Guan Gong in his mind
Nine feet long, two feet long, his face like a heavy date, his lips like grease, and his voice shouted like a flood bell: Guys, Guan Mou is late!
This is the interview scene of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" crew in 1990, to interview Guan Yu's actor - Lu Shuming!
Seeing this actor whose body shape and appearance are almost the same as those in the book, the director immediately made a decision: he is Guan Yu!
In order to be able to perform Guan Gong well in his mind, as long as he had time, he would hold a copy of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and study it carefully, pondering Guan Yu's psychological activities and states word by word.
After the official broadcast of the TV series, people's amazement of Guan Yu is not inferior to Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" that year!
His words and deeds in the play, every move, and even a look and an expression are the Second Master Guan in people's minds.
Even director Wang Fulin said that "Lu Shuming is the embodiment of Guan Yu" and "it is difficult for anyone to surpass it in fifty years"!
After that, Lu Shuming became the embodiment of Guan Yu and became the industry benchmark for the role of "Guan Yu"!
With the role of Guan Yu, Lu Shuming reached the peak of his life: he became the best among the actors, earned a lot of money, and became a winner in life with fame and fortune!
However, a character's success does not erase the disgraceful past.
In the somewhat conservative 90s, as soon as the "cohabitation before marriage" and "imprisonment" broke out, it put him to death!
The character's success is ruined, although after this, he still appears in many plays, but they are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is not much repercussions.
In days when there was no script, he began to walk the streets and alleys to stage, as long as someone was willing to hold the scene, he could send others autographs.
Although his life is not as good as before, for the role of "Guan Yu", it is always his pride.
Like the six-year-old child, he didn't look up to Guan Yu who was played by anyone but himself.
Lu Shuming, who is now 65 years old, turned his attention to the outlet of live streaming with goods, but without exception, every time he used the name "Guan Yu" as a gimmick to attract buyers.
This trick sells feelings and eats old books, and he has already used it perfectly!
No. 3: Zhao Yazhi, the eternal white lady
In fact, Zhao Yazhi's famous work is not "The Legend of the White Lady", but "Shanghai Beach" with Zhou Runfa.
In the play, She played Feng Chengcheng, who was gentle and charming, but also bold and rational, which was impressive!
But in "The Legend of the White Lady" with Ye Tong, Zhao Yazhi's gentle and elegant image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, allowing her to go from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland!
In fact, when playing the role of "White Lady", Zhao Yazhi was already 39 years old, which was considered to be older.
But in the play, she not only can't see her age, but has a little more charm and subtlety. The fire of the White Lady has made her version a classic by countless people.
Until now, as long as someone plays "Bai Suzhen" again, it will be compared with Zhao Yazhi's version.
In fact, success for Zhao Yazhi, more is the limit.
Especially in 2021's "Shangyang Fu", Zhao Yazhi played Zhang Ziyi's mother in it, still using the performance method of the white lady at that time.
Dramatic movements, shaking her head and saying lines, make her the most dramatic role in the play.
Zhao Yazhi, now 68 years old, is still active in front of the screen. Under the influence of beauty and filters, it still looks like a graceful posture, and has not seen aging, known as the "immortal goddess".
But who is not old, in her recent live streaming activities, you can clearly see the lines of her neck.
In fact, she can not shy away from age, perhaps the title of "immortal goddess" given to her by people makes her a little afraid of aging.
Just like her "classic white lady", in order to maintain her classics, the 68-year-old will still play the name of "the most beautiful white suzhen" in the event.
4th place: Wang Gang, the limelight overpowers Zhen Heyan
According to incomplete statistics, Wang Gang has acted in more than 300 episodes of Hezhen in at least 10 dramas.
It is said that when some tourists visit the Gongwang Mansion in Beijing, most of them want to see the "true face" of Hezhen, but when they see the portrait, no one wants to believe: How can Hezhen be like this?
In fact, the historical Hezhen was handsome in appearance, more than 40 years younger than the Qianlong Emperor, and was a real young genius!
But it is precisely because Wang Gang's role of Hezhen is too "brainwashed", so tourists firmly believe that Hezhen is like on TV: round face and micro-eyes, a face of thief and a traitorous face.
Whether it is "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview" or "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", the "Iron Triangle" composed of Wang Gang, Zhang Guoguo and Zhang Tielin has long been a household name.
As long as people mention the name Hezhen, Wang Gang's smiling face shouting "Lao Ji" will come to mind.
In the "National Treasure" hosted by Zhang Guoguo, there was an issue that invited Wang Gang as a guest, and at the beginning he politely called him "Teacher Wang Gang", but after a few rounds, he became a "peace adult".
Even more ingeniously, no one noticed anything wrong with it.
To a certain extent, Hezhen has replaced Wang Gang's name as an independent existence.
Although Wang Gang has been shaping this role all his life, he has not relied on this role to market himself and stir up heat, which is a rare friendship.
Let the feelings be just feelings, not used for selling, this point, we must give Wang Gang teacher praise!
5th place: Wang Yan, dream lover "Qinggege"
Atmospheric dignified, sharp teeth, "Qing'er" in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" just appeared, it received a lot of attention.
She does not jump up and down like XiaoYanzi, nor is she as melancholy and sentimental as Ziwei, Chuchu is pitiful and knowledgeable, and her popularity in the play is no less than that of the two leading actors.
However, she did not seize the opportunity to become popular, relying on more dramas to make the audience remember herself.
Instead, she married into a rich family and became a noble lady.
However, Wang Yan's life as a rich man was not satisfactory.
Her husband, who is 12 years apart, her stepson, who is less than 10 years younger than herself, and her proud mother-in-law, make her difficult at every point.
Not understood by the husband, not respected by the stepson, ordered by the mother-in-law not to show his face, in the "four beauty of the pearl", Wang Yan seems to be the most beautiful, but in fact, the most "inferior".
Until 2019, Wang Yan appeared again in the variety show as Qinggege.
Everyone began to sigh, Qing'er's body was somewhat blessed, and the wrinkles on her face began to increase.
But happily, Qing'er is free, and she can start her career on the TV screen again.
However, the years are not spared, and after years of silence, she seems to have only the most classic role of "Qing'er".
On the recent live broadcast platform, she has also begun to take the road of selling feelings, appearing on social platforms many times in the guise of Qinggege.
Many netizens can't help but sigh: the end of the world is nostalgia!
No. 6: Li Mingqi, the deeply rooted Rong Mama
More than half a hundred years old, Li Mingqi began to take the road of an actor, and after playing countless mothers-in-law and mothers, he became a blockbuster in "Water Margin".
She played the key person who matched Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing's collusion: Wang Po!
In order to get rid of the image of the mother-in-law and play this role well, Li Mingqi can be said to have worked hard.
Not only to think about how to fit the original work, but also to think about how to play a bad "bad person" in the heart.
After making enough preparations, the smiling and plainly dressed princess appeared!
The performance effect is known to everyone, it is indeed annoying to the teeth, eager to expose her true face across the screen.
The anger of the audience here has not subsided, and he has taken over the role of "Rong Mama" over there.
This unpleasant role seems to have only two roles in the play: hitting the heroine and scolding the heroine.
Purely for the sake of bad and bad, there is not a trace of flattery.
However, she still tried her best to think about this role, and the gloomy smile of Grandma Rong holding the needle at that time became a childhood nightmare for many people!
"If you don't obey, let Grandma Rong arrest you", I believe this sentence, many children at that time heard it.
How successful is this role?
After walking out of the crew, anyone who saw her on the street would shout, "Look, that bad mother-in-law."
What's more, he specially ran to teacher Li Mingqi's home to vent his anger.
But it also proves that Teacher Li Mingqi's acting skills are successful.
Although she has played many roles since then, when people mention him, the face that comes to mind is "look at me can't stab you".
In reality, she is an ordinary, amiable grandmother.
Teacher Li Mingqi is now 85 years old and rarely appears on the screen.
Acting in order to shape the role, without the selling feelings after success, teacher Li Mingqi can bear the four words of "virtue and art double Xin".
7th place: Zhang Tielin, Huang Ama professional household
Through the role of Huang Amma in "Huan Zhu Gege", Zhang Tielin pioneered the acting method of "blowing beard and glaring".
Now more than 20 years later, when people mention his name, they still think of the title "Emperor Amma" for the first time.
This is not a success for him, only a failure!
Because after this, he almost became an "emperor professional household", but no matter in which crew, he was a set of methods of "blowing his beard and staring".
In the "Iron Triangle" composed of Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang, whether it is acting skills or personality, he will always receive the most guidance.
In terms of acting skills, after "Huan Zhu Gege", he will let people play no matter what he plays, because his acting skills only have three fatal moves: stretching his neck, glaring, and humming!
His classmate Zhang Fengyi once said: "You tie me up, so I can watch Zhang Tielin's play." "This is really the most deadly official complaint!"
In terms of personality, a "slag" cannot describe Zhang Tielin's behavior.
The chaos of private life, the change of nationality to circle money, being sued by the "girlfriend" in court, etc., any one of them alone can make Zhang Tielin's reputation a "capital crime".
But that didn't stop him from being thick enough.
Even if his character is rotten to everyone,he can still be on the social platform without changing his face, holding the identity of Emperor Amma, and selling feelings to the audience!
It seems that the dividend of this role is really going to be eaten into the coffin by him!
8th place: You Benchang, Soul Jigong
"Shoes are broken, hats are broken, and the robes on the body are broken", just looking at the words, I believe that many people have silently hummed out the melody.
And the Jigong you have in mind should be the following "Jigong Creator" - You Benchang.
When he received the script of "Living Buddha Jigong", You Benchang was 52 years old, and he worked diligently and diligently as a small person for many years in the various crews.
So why did you find him?
1. When he was a child, he went to the temple to clean up, and he was pure enough
2, he is serious enough and dedicated enough to acting, and has been honing for many years, just because he likes it, not because he sells his reputation
3) He is open-minded enough.
Why?
In the play, Ji Gong has always been the image of sewing and mending, rags and rags, coupled with the treatment of makeup and hair in the later period, which is almost the same as the image of a beggar.
The average actor is rarely willing to take such a role, because once successful, it will be difficult to play some "decent people" in the future!
Only then did I find You Benchang, who could open up.
In the play, his appearance of eating a lot, coupled with the sentence "wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha's heart remains", can still be called a classic.
Although this role became a milestone in the life of Teacher You Benchang, he did not become arrogant and blind because of it.
In a certain program, when someone asked what he thought of Ji Gong played by Guo Degang, You Benchang's sentence "Buddha Ben Vientiane" showed his real belly and Buddha's fate.
Today's teacher You Benchang is more than 80 years old, but he still has not given up his love for drama.
He still shines his own afterglow in the drama field, and when he meets the younger generation who really loves acting, he will teach hand in hand.
In addition to virtue and art, what else can be worthy of such an old artist!
epilogue:
As an actor, being able to have a role that makes the audience a "classic" is undoubtedly the greatest success in his career.
But what is different is that someone can keep this success, put the "classic" into a good script, a "confidant" audience, and be able to "abandon" success, create a new role, a new "classic"!
Even if you can't surpass the classics, you can still step out of the role and be your true self. Like Teacher Li Mingqi and Teacher You Benchang.
There are also people who lose themselves in the face of success, arrogant, fame and fortune, solipsism, and constantly market themselves and consume the aura of the characters in the play.
Isn't that the case with six-year-old children, Lu Shuming, etc.? Characters could have been made into highlight moments of life, but they were disgusted by excessive pride and marketing!
Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!
