"Click! The Nth field N mirror is completed, and the work is over! ”
In Wu Mengda's 69-year-old life, two-thirds of the time is spent listening to this sentence on the set.
Now, heaven smiled and shouted instructions to him: "Click! Actor Wu Mengda completed this life and finished work! ”
Finishing work is a rich and warm word.
It proves that you have put in the hard work in the time that has just ended, and it will settle the value and meaning of these hard work.
At the same time, it also reminds you that it is time to take a good rest, take a hot bath, sleep beautifully, relax yourself completely, empty yourself...
I have experienced the ups and downs of my career, the dispersion of feelings, the applause of flowers, the pain of exhaustion and illness, and the glory of dreams, and the reluctance to give up.
Our "Uncle Da", who is a human artist in this life, finally does not need to worry about it, and the work is over.
Objectively speaking, according to the measurement of commercial value, Wu Mengda can only be counted as a second-line coffee position in the film industry.
Moreover, the number of films in which he has played the leading role in his life is also a surplus of hand.
Although people outside the circle recognize him as a good actor with superb acting skills, it is difficult to talk about how high the box office appeal is without his partner Zhou Xingchi.
But the so-called licorice play bone, the golden supporting role, this is an excellent example.
Limited by the appearance and temperament, unable to carry the crown.
Thanks to talent and hard work, there is always a bonus.
There are not many plays, small roles, but on the screen, in the hearts of the audience, they have performed their own unique world.
So much so that his death triggered national nostalgia and became a spontaneous social topic.
It's like saying goodbye to the familiar uncle next door, the heart is lost, and the true feelings are still there.
This is the best praise people have for an actor.
Box office, awards, traffic... In front of this are floating clouds.
Some people may say: "Uncle Da has been fighting for Chinese films all his life and shed the last drop of blood for Chinese films!"
In fact, there is no need to impose a high moral tone on Uncle Da.
I think Uncle Da, like you and me, is a worker.
The difference is that Uncle Da's job is different, and the difference is that Uncle Da has beaten this job to the extreme of his ability.
He chose the profession of actor because of his "greed for vanity and fame" (Uncle Da's original words), and worked hard to take care of three wives, three families and five children.
When he was young, he was also lost and inflated, and as his friend Wang Jing said, he acted "with great affection and willfulness". I have owed gambling debts and love debts, but I have never escaped the courage to take responsibility.
The job of an actor is certainly a stage for him to show his talent and value, and it is also a job for him to support his family and make a living.
Unlike the billionaire superstars he has worked with, such as Stephen Chow, Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau, people have the power and capital to choose scripts, choose directors, choose film themes, and even stop for a period of time to settle down.
And Uncle Da can only come and not refuse to attack everywhere, not to let go of every invitation, to fight for every opportunity. Good plays must be taken, and bad plays must be performed, because the burden of family life is all on his own shoulders.
However, no matter what kind of production team, no matter how many good people and treacherous dramas there are, he is a hundred times more hard to devote himself to it. He regards playing each role well as his responsibility, because he knows that only by fulfilling the responsibilities of the actor's job can he fulfill his responsibilities in life as a husband and father.
When he first entered the film world, Zhou Xingchi laughed at his three lines but had to ponder for half a day. His answer inspired the future king of comedy, Daigo, "It is precisely because there are only three lines that I must let the audience remember this role."
In his twilight years, he dragged his sick body to participate in the hardcore science fiction blockbuster "The Wandering Earth". Wearing a forty-pound spacesuit, hanging Weah to do the action, rejecting the director's suggestion of a stand-in. What amazed Wu Jing, the king of the box office of the same group of actors, was that Uncle Da even memorized the lines of the opponent actors.
Such a migrant worker, even if he is not a leading figure in the tide, has not had an earth-shattering great cause, but why is he not the backbone of the industry, not the clear positive energy needed by society, and it is not worthy of our respect and learning?
Uncle Da plays most of the idiot little people on the screen, with all kinds of small problems. A little selfishness, a little cowardice, bragging, playing hate, unconsciously playing cool, moving stones and dropping on your own feet... Ridiculous, cute, sometimes pathetic, hateful, but never hateful.
These characters are like ourselves off-screen who are imperfect but ashamed to admit it.
Uncle Da performed the appearance of the small people in the city, and did not forget to use the kind background as a paving dye.
The hardships and sorrows after laughter, the beauty of the world after laughter, dive into the hearts of the audience with light and shadow.
So, we like Uncle Da and his character because of kindness, because of identification, like familiar friends around us.
No need to look up, no distance, can shake hands and clap shoulders, can smile with peace of mind.
Not covered with a mysterious aura, full of fireworks.
And his work partners are all full of praise for him.
The superstar celebrities feel their dedication, and the newcomers of the younger generations remember their care.
Du Dewei recalled that when filming a TV series in the mainland, because the weather suddenly cooled down and was miserable, Uncle Da let his assistant purchase more than 20 down jackets at his own expense to distribute to everyone to keep warm.
During the Wenchuan earthquake, Uncle Da also went to the disaster area to participate in the charity performance to comfort the people.
The list goes on.
Bit by bit, warm people's hearts.
The common nostalgia of filmmakers and audiences is surging and surging together to brush the screen.
Surprisingly and comfortingly, the official media "People's Daily" also paid tribute to actor Wu Mengda: "Uncle Da, the patriot, will always be the protagonist."
The article shows Wu Mengda's last Weibo before his death, "I am Chinese."
This is his true relay forwarding for the CCTV news "Five-star Red Flag has 1.4 billion flag bearers", which is a clear expression of his firm position.
Uncle Da, who is accustomed to playing small people, has demonstrated his precious national righteousness and patriotic enthusiasm.
He once told a friend about the phenomenon of celebrities changing their nationality in the circle, saying, "It may be my old school, it is my tradition." It is understandable to go to work in a foreign country, but why abandon the homeland that supports you and become a person from another country? Where are you buried when you are old, and what face do you have to meet your parents and ancestors? “
Uncle Da's Chinese feelings from the bones and blood with the earthy atmosphere are really touching.
When we think of you, we'll go to the movies and see you.
Goodbye, goodbye...
