The best thing in "Broken Bridge" is undoubtedly Fan Wei.

As a second partner with Ma Sichun, the role of the adoptive father this time is still extremely hurtful.

But these two injuries are not the same - this is not only the difference in the script, but also that Fan Wei used his own performance to accurately find the subtleties of the difference between the two roles he played.

Although the reputation of "First Incense" is bad, it can't stop Fan Wei's ubiquitous calculation in the performance of that character - that is, starting with the flesh and skin business, and every move has a strong sexual meaning and business experience.

The First Incense (2020)

But Broken Bridge is different. This adoptive father is more sinister, but he is more adept at disguise.

Even when he confessed, you thought that the plea for forgiveness was really from the heart.

But in reality, he will hurt the killer in the next second.

Fierce?

Of course! Otherwise, how can there be serial crimes?

However, he was extremely cowardly at the last moment.

He had previously said ,"Little Fu San, you don't deserve to talk to me", but he cried out bitterly, "Brother, good brother, I beg you to let me go", howling worse than anyone he killed.

The beauty of this is that even if you walk out of the cinema, you can't remember the performances of other actors or even the stories of the director, and you can't forget Fan Wei's performance.

It's time to talk about Fan Wei and his performance.

From sketches

POST WAVE FILM

"Come, take two steps, take two steps without illness" is the foundation work of Fan Wei to determine the image of the civilians in northeast China, and it is also a landmark work in Zhao Benshan's sketch.

Before "Selling Abduction", Zhao Benshan's baggage was mainly in the northeast language; After "Selling Abduction", Zhao Benshan found his own rhythm, and the sketch entered the category of dramatic conflict.

For Fan Wei, who has a "big head and a thick neck", "Selling Abduction" completely praised this man who has been on the Spring Festival Gala five times, and the subsequent "Selling Cars" and "Kung Fu" established his status as "Benshan's golden partner".

Sketch "Selling Abduction" (2001)

At this point, he is no longer the little transparent person who is specially designed to give life to Benshan, and he has become a "cold-faced smiley craftsman" who is alone.

Later, Fan Wei changed the board inches and showed people with a silly and stunned image.

Although "Liu Laogen" is the cornerstone of the "Benshan Empire", it is undeniable that Fan Wei and his medicine box are the biggest beneficiaries of the whole drama.

Liu Laogen (2002)

In He Qingkui's original script, there are not many scenes in the medicine box.

But Fan Wei loves to ponder, and likes to act, and he loves to improvise with Zhao Benshan on the set.

The two developed a lot of plots alone, and finally even flew into a film.

After the two "Liu Laogen" were filmed, the medicine box has become an indispensable character in the whole drama.

In "Ma Dashuai", Fan Wei's Fan Debiao has a more prominent position.

Marshal Ma (2003)

Many people believe that Fan Wei's performance is even better than Zhao Benshan, and this reservoir prodigal son and the first fierce man in the northeast has become the first card in the world of Benshan.

With this role, Fan Wei became the top stream of the B station and also tore open the mouth of the northeast.

Biography of the little people

POST WAVE FILM

After winning the Golden Horse Film Emperor with "No Problem", a reporter asked Fan Wei about his feelings about the award.

Fan Wei replied: "This time, I played beautifully."

The Non-Problem (2016)

Fan Wei, a man who is mixed in the show business circle, is quite embarrassed.

He is restrained by nature and loves face, and many times, he is only willing to aggrieved himself, and he cannot speak.

Fan Wei is good at shaping small people, civilians.

He is ordinary like a small street vendor, a distant relative who only shows up for funerals, and under the coercion of the times, his persistence is like marginalization in helplessness.

Please, Praise Me (2005)

He was not middle class and not unemployed vagrant.

Anachronistic honesty is his spiritual background; The unavoidable weakness and humility is his philosophy of survival; The stubbornness of admitting death is his character trait.

From Yang Hongqi in "Please, Praise Me", to Du Hongjun in "July of the Car Watcher", and then to Wang Kangmei in "Blessed Ears", these are such roles.

The change of times dissolved his religious order; The development of the economy defeated his spiritual self-esteem; The hardships of life made him lose his hard confidence.

Humble living, smiling guarding, and cowardly watching are the underlying logic of these characters.

Blessed are the Ears (2008)

Fan Wei's image perfectly fits these characters, giving him a unique advantage in "hardware".

In addition, his performance is not externalized, he is not a radiant actor like Chen Daoming and Jiang Wen, he is low to the dust and grows up on the land.

Before starring in "Aromatic Journey", he wrote tens of thousands of words for the role of Lao Cui.

He quit his staple food and deliberately lost his body.

Lao Cui is a complex character, he is a well-known model worker, but not a complete man, after marrying a wife, he still can't prove that he is both inside and outside.

Therefore, this character has pushed his "small character sequence" one step further.

The Fragrance Journey (2006)

Fan Wei in life is actually a small person.

He does not drink alcohol and is prone to alcohol allergies; He is reluctant to be in the spotlight and has a mild social phobia.

Therefore, Fan Wei gave up on becoming a figure in this line, so it is difficult to see him on the red carpet, premiere and other crowded occasions.

He prefers to study the characters solidly and think about the script.

This slow-paced way of working allows Fan Wei to have a deeper understanding of the characters and stories.

Under his control, the performance gradually gained a literary richness.

He said "film allows subtlety".

This sense of subtlety continued into "No Problem" and became the background of Director Ding Wuyuan.

The Non-Problem (2016)

Before touching Mei Feng, Fan Wei was not without worry, he did not know how to put a slow-paced thing in place.

He said to Mei Feng: "This is a thing with deep still water", and Mei Feng took the move: "I want to shoot him in black and white"

A hint, a clear indication, in the creation, Fan Wei is most fond of this tacit understanding.

In the end, Fan Wei came up with a shrewd multi-faceted role, very different from the small people he had played before.

On the farm, he dots up and down, left and right.

And what lies behind this "human essence" is a typical Chinese problem -

Deeply familiar with human feelings and sophisticated, knowing how to sneak around and shoot horses, is far more of a path to rise than pragmatic and hardworking.

Senior ugliness

POST WAVE FILM

For Fan Wei to win 14 performance nominations and awards, it is his sequence of small characters; What made him deep into the masses was a series of comedy stories set in the northeast.

Any work of art is character-making, and comedy is no exception.

True comedy is not just the laughter and amusement of the duo, but also the creation of a comedic character in the plot, using characters, events and exceptions to create a comedic effect.

Physical disabilities, grimaces, or the next three abusive language can indeed make the audience laugh, but those are only ridiculous, not comedic.

Fan Wei once said that Stephen Chow and Chaplin were his "role models" on the road of comedy.

He said: "I like Chaplin a lot, the body language and details that people used in the 30s are so great. Zhou Xingchi, I also like more and more, he is laughing and telling a poignant story, which is a relatively high realm."

The Circus (1928)

Therefore, he made a strict portrait of the character and made a precise design:

The medicine box is such a person, wearing a melon petal hat, wearing a blue uniform, holding reading glasses, he is a farmer, different from a farmer;

He had his own little cleverness, but he failed to break away from his class;

Cunning and self-righteous, self-made and clever at the same time cowardly and lustful;

The medicine box is a half-pulled rural literati, and self-study did not make him truly enlightened, but made him proud.

Liu Laogen (2002)

The cultural inertia generated by the small peasant economy of thousands of years can be seen in him.

And Fan Debiao in "Ma Dashuai" is another kind of character model.

Peasants went to the cities to earn a living, wandering between the urban mainstream and the rural homeland.

The vast majority of people have become the main force of construction.

However, Fan Wei developed another character mode.

He has a cold but grinning position; There is no fist and foot strength to force the underworld boss to set up; The IQ is average but the blueprint for a big cause. Van der Biao is essentially a good and kind person.

Fan Wei grasped this background of the character and interpreted it as a little cute in addition to being ridiculous and pitiful.

Marshal Ma (2003)

In sketches such as "Selling Abduction" and "Selling Cars", Fan Wei's victim image.

On the surface, he is a fool who is fooled by others, with an incomplete IQ and a slow response.

But Fan Wei performed according to the thinking of normal people: the way of thinking of that character is a model of sincerity and kindness that has been born after thousands of years of Confucian education.

Sketch "Selling Abduction" (2001)

However, he forgot that in today's market economy, flies and butterflies are under the same blue sky, and scammers are all over society.

The more sincere he became, the more hateful the liar became, and the more violent the laughter of the audience became.

The laughter contained sympathy, approval, and a hint of pity for pedantry.

Fan Wei believes that judging ugliness is more powerful than aesthetics.

In his idol Chaplin's masterpiece Monsieur Verdou, Chaplin portrayed a wife who became the husband of a serial murderer in order to save his wife.

Monsieur Verdoux (1947)

In a way that combines good and evil, he has achieved what Mr. Lu Xun called "beauty and ugliness" artistic attainment.

Looking back at Fan Wei's various comedic roles, I have to say that he has already practiced the artistic goal of "high-level ugliness" in his own performances.
