Luo Yunxi: If I didn't become an actor, I would definitely become an e-sports youth trainee

There is also "pain" in gambling on youth, and success comes with great uncertainty. "Glory" is being illuminated by the spotlight and left in people's memories.

Instead of explaining, Leo prefers to prove with actions: win, don't get carried away; Lose, accept the result. Don't wallow in pain, don't covet glory, enjoy the process wholeheartedly—"If you do it again, you will still choose this fiery life." ”

Part I

"Doing one thing to the extreme" is Leo's attitude. Ballet, esports, acting, these are his passions, and he has been doing so for many years.

In Leo, we can see the results of the interaction of character and choice: the high intensity of self-discipline of the dancer, the persistence of the esports player, the absolute immersion of the actor. Focus is the mark engraved in his bones.

Even if it is "playing", it is necessary to "play" outside the door. He loves esports and spares no effort to participate in variety shows and promotions. This year, it also became a star promoter of Tencent Video League of Legends S10.

Leo looks glamorous on screen, but in private, he is simple and casual. When he's not filming, he likes to stay home. He is a gaming fan, a headphone enthusiast and loves to travel. You wonder if he has 48 hours in a day. How else could he be so energetic? Actually, it's just because - he's egoistic.

"If I didn't become an actor, I would definitely become an esports youth trainee." You won't be surprised that the words come out of his mouth. With this focus, he should be able to achieve something in whatever he does.

Part II

Leo is very fond of an esports player – Jane Proud. He is a top player in the minds of League of Legends players. He became famous as a teenager, advancing to the S3 World Finals at the age of 16 and retiring at the age of 23 due to injury. He never received the title of Series S during his service, so it was even sadder to retire. "But if you're going to say that his life is regrettable, I don't approve of it. All the athletes worship him and pay tribute to him. I think it's more memorable and cheerful than him winning a championship. Leo said.

In the past two years, Leo has been engaged in film production, and the intensity of work has gradually increased. In the season when the temperature in Hengdian is close to 40 degrees Celsius, he wears layers of ancient costumes, and he stays there for half a year. Because of his dance skills, his action scenes are almost all done by himself. When it comes to work intensity and risk, he always mentions "the duty of an actor." He does not want to exaggerate "pain", preferring to emphasize "persistence".

"This is true for both the esports industry and the actor industry. No one succeeds in the first step. Behind all success and honor is hardship and sweat. So I don't think there's any point in just talking about effort, because even if the person working hard enough, sometimes, the effort may not be rewarded. "Take UZI as an example. The reason why Jane is proud to become a god in the industry is because he fought until the last second, so he was respected. Leo recognizes this kind of life - everything must be done to the extreme, and to live is to burn once.

In a way, the "extreme" of film and television performance is the same as the "extreme" of stage performance: "As an ordinary person, it is difficult to have such an extreme life experience, so if you have this experience in the character, enjoy it." Although it is painful, I treat this pain as enjoyment, remember this pain, the next scene of the same pain needs to be staged, and I can recall the mood of this moment. When it comes to acting, he sighs from the bottom of his heart: "Actors are like this, and they have to hollow themselves out." If you can't infect yourself, how can you infect the audience? ”

Part III

As a non-professional film and television actor, all of Leo's acting experience comes from the accumulation of bit by bit on the shooting set.

The role of "Runyu" in the 2018 hit drama "Sweet Honey Embers Like Frost" was a watershed moment in Leo's performance, and he was widely discussed and recognized for the first time. "If Runyu is a completely immersive performance, then now I am working hard, receiving and feedback information under the premise of immersion, and having my own artistic processing on the basis of the role." Starting with "half honey and half injury", Leo notices that his subjective initiative to improvise is increasing. "I gradually realized that when an actor acts, he must not memorize the script, and must have impromptu feedback on the spot. The real thing is the most infectious in the moment. ”

The new play that has just been completed is a physical challenge. Action scenes are a huge difficulty. Sometimes action dramas and literary dramas are mixed together, and the complexity is amazing. Not only the actors, but also the staff of various departments have put in a lot of labor in a limited time. Leo said: "It was all worth it. We all love this project and want to make it the best it can be. ”

Leo is rational and he is emotional. "I feel like every character is like a dream. Although I have finished writing, I woke up in another city today and suddenly felt that something was missing. At the time of the shoot, my costume and headgear were already integrated with me, which was probably a loss to say goodbye. However, there is no unbroken feast under heaven. What the characters leave behind, what they teach me, will not disappear. Leo said.

Part IV

"Leo won't throw in the towel. Who likes to lose? Leo says his biggest improvement in recent years has been learning to look down on failure. There used to be a competitive heart. "In one game, I don't accept losing one, but the next game I want to win back. Then, the operation becomes more and more twisted, and finally the losing streak ends. "At this moment, the computer turned off, the keyboard fell off, and the mentality collapsed.

Life too. "I'm not having a good time. Now that I think about it, this is a necessary stage for God to arrange me. Inexplicably feeling frightened and losing the ability to think. "Getting through that low tide also depends on games." When you play a match, you have to communicate with your teammates. Maybe from defeat to adjusting your mindset, to talking to your teammates, until finally meeting a certain game victory, you will find that life is like that. Leo said.

Winning and losing is at the heart of competitive sports. Pros can only reach the top if they realize that the process is more important than the result. "If you go with the flow because you are in adversity, life probably ends here; If you can digest failure, maybe this moment will become a turning point in your life. Leo said.

"Replay" is a commonly used technical term in games, which refers to summarizing and sorting out the game process after each game. In the face of the curtain call work in the entertainment industry, it is also inseparable from "winning or losing" and "opening again", red or not, traffic and popularity, awards and endorsements... In Leo's opinion, as long as you dare to refuse, you can create a noiseless environment for yourself.

Ten years after his debut, the increase in age naturally gave him a deeper understanding of the world, but that was only to treat the world more intelligently under the premise of knowing the laws of operation. Leo says his original intention has not changed, which is to "stay optimistic and seek happiness".

Everything in life makes people happy.

When I first met Leo, my plain face, black T-shirt, black coffee, and a faint temperament gave me a faint sense of distance. As we chatted, the presupposition was broken, and his infectious personality would not make the venue cold for another second. Further down, a sense of distance surfaced again, and the vividness and toughness in his personality background clearly showed how he got to where he is now, step by step.

"My attitude towards the world is that I don't get it very cranky and uncomfortable. You won't be completely unscrupulous just because you got it. In life, we must constantly adjust our mentality, face changes calmly, see through while maintaining our original intention, don't feel good about yourself, and don't look down on everyone around you. I believe that sincerity will give back to each other, which is my growth. Leo concluded.
