As a seed contestant in the Spring Festival file, "Nameless" is undoubtedly one of the most watched films.
As early as seeing the trailer of "Nameless", Sister Pickpocket was settling her appetite and was curious about the story of the film and Wang Yibo's performance.
After brushing the first pass, some viewers who watched the movie with the pickpocket sister immediately decided to brush the second brush, which shows the high quality of the film.
So what about Wang Yibo's performance in "Nameless"?
Sister Pickpocket, let's talk about it.
【I】
"Nameless" is Wang Yibo's first real sense and officially released movie, fans are noisy gongs and drums, firecrackers are sounding, like chicken blood, more attentive than the film side
Before the movie was released, before the publicity of the film party started, fans linked up with Bona and launched a planning activity of "Wang Yibo fans wear cheongsam to see nameless".
First, the story of the named film takes place in the Republican period, and secondly, it promotes the elegant and virtuous temperament of female characters played by Zhou Xun, Jiang Shuying, Zhang Jingyi and so on.
At the major parties, the focus of publicity was also on Wang Yibo.
The theme song of the same name sung by Amway "Nameless".
In addition to publicity, fans also did the work of distribution.
In addition to the traditional charter benefits, the support club has also united brand cinemas such as Perfect World, Bona, Wanda, and China Film to build a 65+ city super large cooperation matrix.
In the Spring Festival file fight, the "Nameless" film party appeared calm.
Other movies are seizing the timing and position of publicity, only it is unhurried, hiding clues in posters or trailers for the audience to solve the mystery.
This "ear-in-ear" publicity temperament, coupled with the wave of fans boosting, has increasingly aroused the interest of the audience, and finally reflected in the amazing pre-sale report card.
In just 6 hours, the pre-sale box office exceeded 10 million.
The pre-sale result of breaking 20 million on the first day, and it was even more in the Spring Festival film, the fault line was ahead, leading all the way for 4 days, and the pre-sale exceeded 100 million earlier than "The Wandering Earth 2", and finally handed over 1. 500 million pre-sale transcripts.
In terms of popularity, "Nameless" also leads the way.
Wang Yibo basically lives on the hot search, even a simple still, can be on the hot search.
There are 700+ topics on the list in total, and there are hundreds of hot ones.
The trailer video has exceeded 15 million views, and the cumulative number of views on related topics is as high as 500 million+.
Even Dapeng, one of the starring actors of "Nameless", also marveled at the super high combat effectiveness of Wang Yibo's fans in the live broadcast,
"In this process, the nameless pre-sale has always been far ahead, has always been the first place, there are a lot of fans who like Yibo, and they have made great contributions."
【II】
The cast of "Nameless" is undoubtedly gorgeous and powerful.
There is Tony Leung, who has not been on the big screen for 3 years, and Zhou Xun, who performs at the level of a film queen.
There are also Wang Yibo, Huang Lei, Sen Bozhi, Dapeng, Wang Chuanjun, Jiang Shuying, Zhang Jingyi and other casts.
First of all, Sister Pickpocket believes that all the above actors can hold the plot of this movie.
Tony Leung's acting skills are undoubted, and the close-up camera is pushed closer to his face, and it feels like every strand of his hair is acting. One look can pull you into the mystery of the character.
The most flavorful thing is that he sits still, does nothing, lights a cigarette, and the movie texture is instantly full.
Director He, played by him, has a completely different demeanor from Mr. Yi in "Lust, Caution", and there are several smiles that may even feel eerie in retrospect.
Zhou Xun put on a cheongsam and changed into a Republican costume, so that Sister Pickpocket saw Gu Xiaomeng in "The Wind" again in a trance.
Before parting with Tony Leung, his facial muscles twitched and trembled, and his eyelashes rose and fell slightly.
The subtle changes in expression and eyes make you believe that she is the nameless person who stoic.
In addition, Huang Lei portrayed Mr. Zhang, who only promised and looked ahead.
Captain Wang, played by Wang Chuanjun, laughs and scolds, and is cruel in an instant, making people elusive.
Dapeng subverts the comedic image of joy, this time playing a gloomy Wang puppet government bureaucrat.
The personalities of these characters are very different, and they all have their own eye-catching.
But in this play, Sister Pickpocket wants to praise Wang Yibo even more.
【III】
Ye, played by Wang Yibo, is a secretary of the Wang puppet regime.
Maneuvering between Wang Qiao, Chongqing and Japanese intelligence agencies, switching between Mandarin, Shanghainese and Japanese, he is the most complex and full character in the film, and the one with the most emotions.
Director Cheng Er also gave Wang Yibo various acting moments, literary dramas, crying scenes, fighting scenes, eating scenes and other character cuts, and there is a lot of room for play.
How to interpret a restrained character into a fullness of flesh and blood?
There are many details in the film, and Wang Yibo's handling makes Sister Pickpocket's eyes shine.
Let's talk about his eating scene first.
Especially the scene of eating drunk shrimp.
Cheng Er said in an interview,
"Food ultimately serves the narrative, and every food has to be as meaningful as possible. Drunken shrimp is my favorite dish, if you add curd, it will appear red, of course, you need to shoot its beauty, and its tyrannical side. ”
In Hong Kong after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ye Mi discovered the tea restaurant opened by Captain Wang's parents.
He ordered a signature drunken shrimp.
One after another drunken shrimp with curd milk, even if they are alive, they cannot escape the fate of being swallowed alive.
Ye Mi's eating at this time can be called embarrassing, and even the shrimp that jumped on the table he also threw to eat, and he has always been in a suit and tie in the Shanghai environment, and he who eats Sven, it is simply like the two of them.
Recalling that after he and Captain Wang threw down the corpse on the beach, he elegantly patted the soil off his legs, and he was really a manifestation of cleanliness.
Thinking of his fiancée saying that she hated him like that, did his disregard indicate a change in his state of mind, or did he finally let go of his well-dressed pretense?
Of course, compared with Wang Yibo's eating scene, his crying scene allows Sister Pickpocket to see the layering of the character.
The first crying scene.
Ye Mi, played by Wang Yibo, quarreled with his fiancée Miss Fang, played by Zhang Jingyi.
Miss Fang said that she hated Ye Mi's suit and shoes, and said that in the future she would find another lover, either a laborer or an intellectual.
When Ye Mi heard this, he cried.
Because the latent identity cannot be exposed, the tears flashing in Wang Yibo's eyes here are the pain of not being understood by his lover, and there is forbearance, softness, and distress.
The second crying scene.
Miss Fang mysteriously disappeared, Ye Mi rummaged everywhere for information about missing persons, but accidentally saw a newspaper on the ground, which wrote the news of her murder on the street.
First the tears rolled up, then the violent slap on the table, and then the collapse of the uncontrollable transformation, which is very moving.
The third crying scene.
Ye Mi put incense on a secret temple in Hong Kong, and was pressed on the shoulder by Director He, and tears instantly burst out of his eyes.
The lurking mission is not over yet, and the reunion after a long absence, it is a blessing, and it is even more moving.
Three crying scenes, different scenes, different moods, clear layers.
And all kinds of fights.
Ye Mi, the king of changing faces.
He could suddenly show a reconciliating smile from looking gloomy and about to erupt, and when he turned his head and turned his back, he withdrew his smile in another second.
There is a tyrannical side to the task, pulling out the knife in a second, and when he sees the blood sealing his throat, his eyes are fierce and fierce, portraying Ye Mi's killing decision.
After the blood sprayed on his face, he was not afraid to stain his shirt again, and immediately took out a cigarette and put it on.
There are also anxious and uncontrollable knives in order to vent their emotions.
Ye Mi met Miss Fang by chance and told her that the wind was tight now, and that he should not engage in assassination again, and Miss Fang scolded him as a pseudo-secretary and bluntly said that the marriage contract was nullified.
He rushed out the door, angry at the Japanese soldiers who came forward to interrogate, and his hand fell in the heavy rain, fierce and gloomy.
There was also a fist-to-flesh duel with Tony Leung, which lasted almost 9 minutes.
The two went from gunfight to gunfighting, to empty-handed combat, and finally the lamp holder straight in, so that the pickpocket sister's heart once mentioned the throat eye.
Ye Mi, played by Wang Yibo, can be said to be the most complex character in this movie.
Well-dressed, but in the midst of blood and darkness.
Kill decisively, face the loved one, and turn soft.
This is not only the skill of director Cheng Er, but also the charm of Wang Yibo's acting skills.
【IV】
When asked why he chose Wang Yibo to play Ye Mi, director Cheng Er mentioned in an interview,
He didn't know Wang Yibo, just because of a photo of him, he asked Huang Lei to help, and Huang Lei found He Jiong to meet Wang Yibo.
In an afternoon of face-to-face chat, Wang Yibo became the first actor to finalize "Nameless".
In order to allow Wang Yibo to enter the role, director Cheng Er did not let him accept other announcements, requiring him to stay alone in the hotel room, not to play games, look at mobile phones, let alone leave the crew, and even with friends and family every day.
A week later, he was "released".
The heart, sinking. The sense of character also comes.
During the filming, Cheng Er also carefully taught,
"The director will tell me, for example, that it is not good here, that there is less movement, and that it is very detailed. When saying every word, where to move and where not to move, and then go on and act. ”
Wang Yibo also did not live up to Cheng Er's expectations, especially in the field of language, whether it is Shanghainese or Japanese, he speaks very well, and the time is particularly short, he can be called a genius in speed learning,
"Because I often change the script, sometimes I will write the dialogue when I get to the scene, the lines are temporarily given to him, the language teacher teaches him on the spot, he learned it immediately, I have never met such a talented person before."
After watching the film, Sister Pickpocket also really understood the reason why Wang Yibo was "preferred", and his performance this time was indeed very stable.
Saw Wang Yibo as an actor, other shining points.
He has no idol baggage, serves the role wholeheartedly, has a strong sense of belief in the character, and then becomes more malleable.
