This year's film file competition is not a lot, many newcomers are also not strong, such as this year's Zhang Xiaofei is a dark horse, with "Hello, Li Huanying", almost overnight fame, the explosion has become the status of domestic first-line actresses.
And the just released "My Sister", in which Zhang Zifeng's acting skills are also impressive, although he is young, his performance on the screen is really surprising!
However, while seeing so many new faces, I can't help but think of the "first beautiful man in Asia" Jin Chengwu in the past, it seems that Jin Chengwu has disappeared in everyone's eyes for a long time, so where has Jin Chengwu gone for so many years?
If Yan Value can enter the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, then Jin Chengwu will definitely be on the list.
Jin Chengwu's handsome is not like the current traffic small fresh meat, nor is it like the Internet celebrity that comes out of the assembly line.
I rarely see a face that looks as Chinese and Western as he does, and looking at the world, I think only Leonardo can compare with him.
Even Andy Lau said that when standing next to him, he would sincerely feel inferior;
Song Huiqiao regarded him as a boyfriend's second choice; Li Jiaxin praised him as the most attractive male artist in the world;
Li Xiaoran also revealed that he wanted to take a photo with Jin Chengwu...
In addition to these, there are many, many more.
I kept thinking: If I added his appearance to me, the people chasing me would definitely line up from Queen's Road West to Queen's Road East, right?
First, the evolutionary history of "small fresh meat"
Or back to Jin Chengwu.
He was born in Taipei in 1973.
When he was 15 years old, his classmate's mother invited her to shoot an advertisement and he agreed.
Because his friends around him were riding motorcycles, he didn't, and he wanted to earn a sum of money to buy a motorcycle on his own. With his excellent appearance, he was interviewed at once.
In 1990, together with Rene Liu, he went to the musician Chen Sheng as an assistant.
They had to do everything at that time, including cleaning toilets. Still, he persevered for a year.
After that, I finally made a "Meadow Element". That year, Jin Chengwu was 18 years old, and when he first appeared on the camera, he was the same as the small fresh meat he is now, and he did not have any acting skills.
In 1992, Takeshi Kaneshiro released his first album, The Night of The Breakup. His singing skills at that time really did not dare to be complimented. However, he later became the Four Little Kings of Taiwan, but in it he was the existence of the tail of the crane.
But with his handsome appearance, coupled with his low-key style, he has become a god-like figure in the entertainment industry. A lot of directors will ask him to shoot movies, and basically the big directors who come to him to work with.
Slowly, these directors developed his acting skills, and the one he should be most grateful to was Wong Kar-wai. At that time, many people advised Wong Kar-wai: "Jin Chengwu is a piece of wood, and he does not know how to act at all." Only Wong Kar-wai was able to dispel the crowd and give the idol singer a chance.
It is because of Wong Kar-wai's tuning that Jin Chengwu gradually distanced himself from the small fresh meat.
We all know that Wong Kar-wai is the kind of person who likes to torture himself and also torture the stars.
There is no routine at all, and you can act as much as you want. Therefore, he will cut the protagonist of "Generation Grandmaster" into Gong Er, and will cut the real protagonist Liang Chaowei in "The Legend of Ah Fei" into a supporting role that only appears last. But as an actor, I am also very lucky to work with Wong Kar-wai, because he can take your acting career to the next level.
After Jin Chengwu worked with Wong Kar-wai, he was favored by Zhang Yimou and became the male protagonist of "Ten Faces Ambush".
Judging from the posters of the movie at that time, Jin Chengwu at that time was enough to sit on an equal footing with Andy Lau.
In terms of the plot of the movie, Jin Chengwu's role is also more important than Andy Lau.
Because of this time of preparation, two years later, Jin Chengwu cooperated with Liang Chaowei, a film emperor-level figure, to bring us a wonderful double male drama in "Wounded City".
As an idol faction, Jin Chengwu can cooperate with so many big names and big directors, which is rare and valuable. Because once any actor is handsome, it is difficult to have acting skills, and even if there is, I think it is only the evaluator who wears chisels. Unlike Jin Chengwu, he is definitely a good acting school.
Second, he is as handsome as he can not act, than he will act without him handsome.
Although Jin Chengwu's acting skills are not top-notch, he has an advantage, that is, he is willing to act in anything and has a wide range of roles.
For so many years, Jin Chengwu has basically played three types of people.
The first category is handsome guys, such as the Japanese dramas he participated in, such as "Extreme Thieves Fanatics", and "Left to Right" filmed in Hong Kong.
He is just a vase in it, which is only necessary for a handsome guy like him to star in his true colors. The second category is neurotic characters, such as the one he often shows in Wong Kar Wai movies. There is also a category that best reflects his acting skills, such as the film "The City That Never Sleeps".
In this movie, many of the actors he works with are hardcore actors like Zeng Zhiwei, but he can impress us with his acting skills.
He played the three points of the black belly liu Jianyi in the play, and performed the taste, that kind of danger is not afraid, the kind of survival in various gangs, it is really very accurate.
On the other hand, he also played the fierceness of the role. After he was bullied in the play, he first remembered it in his heart, and then he returned it to color. So don't look at him always giggling inside, but in fact, the knife hidden in the laughter is talking about him. When he finally killed Natsumi, that expression was very layered, a performance I had never seen before.
I think that changing an actor to play it may not be able to act out.
So I think this role is simply tailor-made for him, and just by relying on this film, he can justify his acting skills. After that, he starred in many movies, and every time we could feel that his acting skills were improving. This can also be seen that Jin Chengwu is indeed very sincere about acting.
He once said: "I used to feel powerless to act anything." But now, I just try my best to do it so that I don't regret it. From this sentence we can see that he is self-aware. Although he does not have the acting skills of Liang Chaowei, he also does not have any idol baggage, and it is natural to make expressions, which makes people feel that the acting skills are not greasy at all. And this should be the reason why many directors are willing to ask him to shoot.
3. Fallen angels and hide in the human world
Jin Chengwu is the kind of actor who hardly sees anyone except for filming, he does not participate in variety shows, there is no scandal, at most he is a party with friends, and there is no way to resign. Moreover, he also did not like to dress up, always dressed simply, and his hair was messy. An actor like him, his eyes only look at the heavens and the earth, and he doesn't care about himself.
I remember once watching an NHK documentary about Takeshi Kaneshiro's expedition to Antarctica.
He sometimes had a lot of fun in it, sometimes silently tears in front of the animal carcasses. Therefore, under his handsome appearance, there is actually an angelic good heart, and handsomeness is only his most shallow symbol.
Fourth, beautiful faces, interesting souls
There are many beautiful men, as long as they meet the hard threshold.
But few people like him, after stunning the crowd, can still know how to converge, and can also achieve success and retreat. Seeing him, we believe that some beauty will not be consumed, and some people in this era of entertainment to death also know how to restrain.
In contrast, some Internet celebrities now eat youth rice. After a few years, no one remembered them. Compared with them, Jin Chengwu is indeed a lot higher.
Takeshi Kaneshiro is lucky, he has become a big coffee at a young age, as a high-quality idol.
The most valuable thing about him is that he is beautiful without self-awareness, and he can act in anything, and he will not make people feel that he is pretending. And he will not shoot for the box office, he will not shoot advertisements, do not go on variety shows, and is more like an actor than his colleagues.
All of this allowed him to transform from an idol faction into a powerful faction, with today's curry position.
An actor like him is worthy of respect, and I hope that in my lifetime I can live the life I want to live like him, and I don't forget my original intention.
