| Opinion: Uncle Akiba | Edit: morning
The red thing is sometimes a metaphysics.
Your efforts in various postures, you can't debut for eighteen years, and as a result, with a movie that many people say can't stand it, it is hot again.
Stinking dumps, horrific mutilations, rotting corpses, brutal abuse, unsolvable serial murders...
Just looking at the trailer and netizen explanations, uncle I was also flustered.
This restrictive high-energy black-and-white film is called Wisdom Teeth.
The male protagonist Lin Jiadong plays the police brother, the acting skills do not need to be said, but the unknown actress Liu Yaser makes people shine.
Wang Tao, played by Liu Yaser, once hit a pregnant woman with a poisonous car, causing the pregnant woman to become a vegetative person and the child to disappear. This pregnant woman is Brother Zhan's wife, so Brother Zhan hates Wang Tao.
In order to atone for his sins, Wang Tao helps Brother Zhan to find the perverted killer of the serial murder case, and thus suffers hellish torture and murder...
Let's take a look at Arthur Liu's performance in the movie:
When he plucked up the courage to face Lin Jiadong, he was beaten half to death by Lin Jiadong, and endured the pain like a child who did something wrong:
When he was deliberately thrown into a pile of small by Zhan Ge and forced to identify the murderer, he was afraid but stubborn:
After being abused by a perverted killer, when he ran away in despair to survive, his eyes were full of fear:
Liu Yaser was abused to the extreme in the film, from the body to the acting skills, underwent multiple tempers, but she took over the scene of the film Emperor Lin Jiadong, and also interpreted a bottom-level marginal person Wang Tao who constantly switched in complex emotions.
After the movie was broadcast last year, some people predicted that the 2022 Academy Awards film queen would be Liu Yaser.
On July 17, the winner of the 40th Academy Awards for Best Actress was announced, and Liu Yatser ascended to the throne of the queen, becoming the 9th golden queen from the mainland.
Before her were: Si Qinggaowa, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Gong Li, Zhao Wei, Chunxia, Zeng Meihuizi, Zhou Dongyu.
But embarrassingly, when Liu Yaser won the hot search, the first reaction of netizens was to ask: Who is Liu Yaser? Newcomers?
Even after becoming a film, in the mainland entertainment industry, Liu Yaser is still a little transparent.
In fact, Liu Yaser is not a newcomer, she has been debuting for 18 years.
What is even more unexpected is that she was a mainland draft love bean, won the draft champion, and walked the neutral wind earlier than Li Yuchun.
I think this girl's experience is very interesting, and I want to tell you about it today.
01
Maybe Hunan Lao Tie still remembers that there is a draft star named Liu Xin.
Liu Yaser was actually Liu Xin, but he later changed his name.
In 2004, "Draft Godmother" Long Dani produced the talent show "Star Academy", which can be said to be the originator of the draft.
The 15-year-old Liu Xin relied on the rare neutral wind at that time to circle countless fans in the show. She sang out of tune, but her popularity was super high, and finally won the third place and the king of popularity (spit a sentence, who remembers the champion Guo Biao and the runner-up Zhang Yafei?). Or Yang Tianzhen said it well, many people don't know that they are the peak of their debut).
The draft votes of that year were all really cast by phone and spent one vote at a time.
Liu Xin is "debut is the peak", and the notice is soft.
But only a year later, in 2005, "Super Girl" exploded, and Li Yuchun, who was also neutral, became a phenomenon.
Compared with the "Star Academy" of the local station Hunan Economic Television, the "Super Girl" broadcast by Hunan Satellite TV has a wider radiation coverage, and Li Yuchun's popularity and influence are higher.
Li Yuchun, who came from the conservatory of music, is stronger than Liu Xin, who is out of tune.
As a result, Liu Xin, who was briefly popular, began to transform into an actor.
Liu Xin's debut work is called "Thirteen Paulownia Trees", which suddenly appeared at the Tokyo Film Festival, and the starting point is very high.
Whether it is drafting or acting, compared to many people, Liu Xin's luck is really good.
But luck came and went quickly, and in the 7 years after this movie, Liu Xin only made 4 plays, most of which were female N.
The actor's road is not passable, liu Xin "back to the pot" to the draft:
First, he won the championship in "My Type Me Show".
But Zhang Jie, Qi Wei, Xue Zhiqian, etc. of the same session are all red and have works, but she has no resources.
Then there's Super Girl.
But the former Bole Long Dani did not give Liu Xin, who sang out of tune, more opportunities.
Luck has come to this point, and it seems to have been exhausted.
Liu Xin chose to go to The North Drift to study acting, when she had no money, no career, no hope, and went to many friends' homes to borrow.
Disappointed, she decided to quit the circle and change her career, changing her name to Liu Yaser, which means "elegant Deser", and said goodbye to the past.
At this time, the movie "To the Youth We Will Eventually Pass Away" was found.
Liu Xin finally waited for the first role of her acting career: Zhu Xiaobei.
In the movie, Zhu Xiaobei could have studied abroad, but was framed for stealing and dropping out of school.
She hysterically smashed the small supermarket, venting grievances and anger, and the explosive power of this scene also became the highlight of Liu Yaser's acting skills.
The audience may not remember the actor Liu Yaser, but they remember Zhu Xiaobei.
Since then, Liu Yaser has begun to have plays to act, but most of them are still small supporting roles, many of which are bad films.
But does she have a choice? There are few scenes, and you can act; The film sucks, just play your own part well.
For example, in "The Legend of the Green Hill Fox", Liu Yaser played a male fox, which once made the audience mistakenly think that this was played by an actor.
Although the evaluation of this drama is average, Liu Yaser's male fox is very popular in the B station, and the two videos have reached millions of plays, and the bullet screen is exaggerating acting skills.
The peaks are very high, the lows are very deep, and Liu Yaser has experienced them.
She understood the nothingness of popularity and traffic earlier than more people, and like every ordinary person, she found her own way in the fog of effort and struggled to move forward.
You didn't succeed, and you wasted so much time. What a painful realization, How once it was not the heart of many of us.

Perhaps, the ups and downs of past experiences are precisely to meet Wang Tao in "Wisdom Teeth".
Liu Yaser told reporters that she and director Zheng Baorui chatted about their personal experiences in the café for half an hour, and the role was fixed.
Zheng Baorui said he saw a "longing" in Liu Yaser's eyes.
Liu Yaser was attracted by the vitality of Wang Tao's "undead Xiao Qiang", but she did not expect that this role was so important and complex for her.
After waiting for thirteen years to wait for another heroine, Liu Yaser is more nervous than excited, because the contract says that if she is not qualified for the role, she may be replaced.
Liu Yaser knows that she is not a talented actor, and she has no acting skills, and the way she uses is to live the appearance of the role and let the role become one with herself.
In order to feel the life of the bottom fringe people, she lives in the Kowloon City area, observing every day how all kinds of "marginalized people" live and what kind of attitude they use to respond to their surroundings.
The filming process of "Wisdom Teeth" is like peeling off a layer of Skin of Liu Yaser.
Liu Yaser recalled that on the first day of construction, he was beaten by Lin Jiadong.
She said to Lin Jiadong, just come for real. Lin Jiadong replied, I also like to come really.
Then Wang Tao was really beaten very badly.
Being beaten, splashed with swill, eaten with garbage... Many of the scenes in the movie are real.
Every day, Liu Yaser would add new scars, and even save makeup.
Due to being immersed in Wang Tao's painful and desperate emotions for too long, Liu Yaser could not get out of the haze of the role after filming for more than half a year.
The highlight moments in front of people are behind the unknown struggles.
03
After winning the Academy Award, Liu Yaser said in his speech: The film gave me a beam of light and let me come here.
She stressed backstage: there is no relief, and she is still worried about whether there will be no scenes to shoot next.
When fans asked her not to go back to internal entertainment in the comments, she replied: I have never entertained internally, what I want to lead to is the heart.
When someone mocked her for taking the shadow and not having a splash, she replied: What I want is a spark.
After 18 years of ups and downs, the 33-year-old Liu Yaser knows more about what is real and what she wants, and she regards every role in every movie as her only chance and pays a lot for it.
If a person really wants to build a personal brand, you can look at this sentence she wrote on Weibo: The work is the actor's suit! Good works will make you the brightest one!
Regarding the matter of red not being red, she frankly said: She no longer thinks about it, and has long accepted the small and ordinary.
The premise of a person's true luck is that she has the ability to change herself.
Liu Yaser's experience has nothing to do with "salted fish turning over" and "dark horse counterattack", let alone a big heroine cool drama, that is, a person insisting on walking, confused, and growing.
In fact, it is lucky to become a film queen, next, Liu Yaser will also cooperate with Andy Lau in "Stealth", and cooperate with Nicholas Tse on "Customs Front", etc., at least for the time being.
If you have to do it, do it seriously, strive for more possibilities, no traffic, and be able to do it with a calm heart.
This is the key to whether a person can go far.
