Disappearance in the entertainment industry:
Where did Huang Bo go?
In the past, the top stream never brushed the audience's sense of existence.
The new drama "The Right Way to Open Life" Douban 4.5.
Contributed another East Eighth District style YY male protagonist.
A virtuous wife waits, a beautiful ex-girlfriend is worried, and a young intern throws her arms around...
Forty men, it's hard!
The ratings have also fallen to the road.
Of course, Huang Bo will not "disappear".
Open the work list, you can still see many familiar movie titles.
But I can't react in the first place:
What did Huang Bo play in it?
Or...... Did he really act in this film?
Back in 2014, Huang Bo partnered with Xing Ye, "Journey to the West" won the box office championship, and the king of a new generation of comedy was rising.
During that period, Huang Bo's films also included Chen Kexin's "Dear", his old partner Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" and "Heart Flower Road", and the goddess Lin Zhiling's "The 101st Proposal"...
Fantasy, comedy, romance, full bloom.
Some media directly asked:
Can you surpass Ge You?
At the time, it seemed that such expectations could be fulfilled immediately.
And today, "the next Geyou" how long do we have to wait.
01
Comparing Huang Bo and Ge You, you can indeed see many overlapping points.
All are national laughing stars.
All have excellent acting skills.
One is the favorite of the "fifth generation", between Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Uncle Ge switches seamlessly and circulates freely.
A play with the "sixth generation", Guan Hu, Ning Hao, who uses who says good.
Ge You has acted in "Alive".
Coincidentally, Huang Bo also acted in the drama version of "Alive".
△ Partner Yuan Quan
If Ge You represents a small citizen of the Beijing school, he is a little superior in the ordinary, and a little deep and affectionate in the poor.
Then the emergence of Huang Bo is more like the cultural face of the Internet in the first decade of this century.
More grassroots.
More spoofing.
In 2006, the phenomenal domestic comedy "Crazy Stone", everyone remembered the thief black skin who spoke Shandong dialect.
Also curious about this actor named Huang Bo, is it really not temporarily pulled from the construction site?
Because of his unique temperament, slightly joyful looks and natural acting skills, Huang Bo quickly opened up his own king track.
The experience of North Drift has given him a grassroots resilience and the liveliness of small people.
In his early years, as a person in the rock circle, he carried a kind of rebellion and madness that did not play cards according to common sense.
There is no doubt that it has an excellent fit with Ning Hao's black humor.
From 2006 to 2009, the two "Madness" series received a double harvest of word of mouth and box office, allowing Ning Hao and Huang Bo to quickly become the forefront of the industry.
Huang Bo is red, but there is a problem:
He's too stereotyped.
Harlequin, comedian, when it comes to him, the audience automatically has an absurd funny image in their heads.
For a long time, the cruel truth was that an actor's comedy label was too prominent to be easily recognized.
At this time, Huang Bo got a chance to prove his acting skills more.
"Bullfighting" directed by old friend Guan Hu.
The film became a personal show of Huang Bo, and it also allowed him to win the Golden Horse actor.
Huang Bo's performance has detached from the framework of comedy performance and shows profound skills.
Everyone suddenly found that in addition to making people laugh, Huang Bo on the big screen can also provoke everyone's tear ducts so highly.
And the more difficult thing about this role is that most of the time, Huang Bo can only act with a cow.
If Huang Bo acted longer than freedom before, then he has learned a more important lesson, control.
Naturally, cattle will not cooperate well with people, and there will be various situations.
After getting along with the cow day by day, I suffered all the hardships and broke through myself.
In fact, the play of "Bullfighting"
I told myself suddenly
The importance of control
You have to control the relationship with the cow
The brain is actually always in the character
Rational sensibility jumps back and forth in the middle
Huang Bo was lucky at that time.
Despite becoming famous late, he quickly gained a foothold after becoming famous.
One is to be able to meet a wealth of characters to jump out of your comfort zone.
The second is the resources and recognition that actors can get, from the entire Chinese film circle.
From 2013 to 2015, Huang Bo was probably the most beautiful actor in domestic entertainment.
The box office is high, the quality is also good, all types can be controlled, Huang Bo has the tendency to succeed Ge You.
△ Ge You held hands with Shu Qi, and Huang Bo took Zhiling away
In addition to comedy and acting.
Huang Bo's popularity also comes from his echoing a theme of the time:
Counterattack.
Disi longs for a counterattack.
Grassroots origin, not tall, not handsome, not a science class, but with hard work and strength to the throne of the top male star, evolved from a comedian to a national actor.
In an era when he still believed in infinite possibilities, Huang Bo became the best spokesperson.
Imagine that in the process of rapid expansion of the film industry in about 15 years and the capture of the vast number of townships, is there an actor who is more suitable and able to carry the box office than Huang Bo?
In 2014, Huang Bo appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
He wears a one-piece overalls and sings a solo song "My Requirements Are Not High", and the lyrics are full of dreams.
So at the press conference of "Heart Flower Road" in 2014, the reporter asked the very dream question:
Can you surpass Ge You?
02
Today it's easier for us to say as an afterthought:
It's hard.
In terms of national popularity, personality and starlight, commercial value, Huang Bo at his peak can be compared with Ge You.
But the gap that can't catch up is that they started from different runways.
Brushing the works of national popularity, Ge You met "The Story of the Editorial Office", one of the peaks of domestic sitcoms.
Award-winning works, Ge You met the peak of the fifth generation's creative creation, and became Asia's first Cannes actor with "Alive".
In 1997, Ge You met another director who was the most important in his acting career, Feng Xiaogang.
"Party A and Party B" won the annual Chinese film box office champion with a box office of 36 million that year, reviving the confidence of the domestic film industry under the impact of Hollywood.
The golden sentences that popped out of Uncle Ge's mouth, along with his image, lasted for a long time.
In the era when Feng Xiaogang's New Year comedy was the most popular, the male protagonist was contracted by Ge You.
He is like a must-see relative for Chinese audiences during the New Year, and has become a symbol of the New Year stall.
Actors are passive jobs and are always being chosen.
Chosen by the director, chosen by the market, and more chosen by the times.
"Beyond Geyou".
Of course, Huang Bo couldn't catch this.
Faced with the pit dug by the reporter, Huang Bo replied like this:
"This era will not prevent you from shining yourself, but you can't cover anyone's brilliance, people are filmmakers of the creation era, we are just some juniors who continue to move forward, and dare not make a second to this."
It's high emotional intelligence, but it's also quite sincere.
Huang Bo said that Ge You was a filmmaker during the founding era.
Yes.
He occupied an important position in the artistic exploration period of Chinese films in the 90s and the market-oriented exploration period in the early 21st century.
Missed is missed, and there will be no more.
When Huang Bo became famous, even if he met Zhang Yimou again, what was Zhang Yimou doing at that time?
Probably in "Three Guns Shooting Surprise".
But Huang Bo is undoubtedly top-notch.
So he met a group of directors in his era, the top and creative power, such as Ning Hao and Guan Hu.
When answering a reporter in 2014, he probably firmly believed.
Although there will no longer be much to do when the world was groundbreaking.
But this is an era of opportunity, and an era of different lights.
03
Later, we gradually forgot the problem that Huang Bochao did not surpass Ge You.
Because of the focus, it gradually shifted from Huang Bo.
2019 may be called the "Year of Shen Teng".
He released two Spring Festival films by himself, "Crazy Alien" and "Flying Life".
In the double male protagonist's "Crazy Alien", Huang Bo plays it hard without hard work, but this grassroots monkey artist is not as vivid and funny as black skin.
On the contrary, Shen Teng's sentence "Destroy" has become the strongest memory point in the whole film.
So in this cooperation between the two "kings of comedy", some viewers shouted - the new king is standing.
Where did that familiar Huang Bo go?
It turns out that he has not been "crazy" for many years.
It is undeniable that these can bring him good popularity:
High-scoring variety show "Extreme Challenge" and "Can't Forget the Restaurant".
Publicly, he is a spokesperson for high emotional intelligence, Mr. Good.
He is also a typical "good Chinese man" in various movies.
"Winning the Championship", the audience ridiculed Peng Yuchang for growing up to become Huang Bo, kind and cute, but was suppressed in front of Gong Li's role to have no sense of existence at all.
"Me and My Motherland", he is a dedicated and selfless flagpole designer.
"Embracing You Through the Winter", he is a kind and brave courier and volunteer during the epidemic.
But I saw it.
When Huang Bo highlights a "good" word, he seems to be moving farther and farther away from a real character, turning into an award certificate framed in a glass frame.
Huang Bo is still amiable and is still trying to get close to the little people.
But the kind of ordinariness that once touched the audience is usually carried with the dirt of society.
Whether it is "black skin" or "yellow hair".
Whether it's a killer or a farmer.
Compared to his later roles, it is clear at a glance.
Huang Bo doesn't know?
Sir felt that Huang Bo probably knew better than anyone.
Comedy is an art that is cruel and merciless, and comedians are usually more sensitive and more crisis-conscious.
Therefore, Zhao Benshan will wipe his tears after the Spring Festival Gala for the quality of the sketch.
So Shen Teng will also act until he is bored, and Wang Jing said that he "wants to die".
What about Huang Bo.
He is also unwilling to be restricted.
After watching "A Good Show" directed by Huang Bo, you will know that this is not a comedy limited to comedy.
Whether to surpass Ge You, maybe there is no need to get tangled.
But it is certain that Huang Bo definitely wants to break through Huang Bo.
You can see his many attempts, the crime suspense film "Under the Ice" won the best actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival; the literary science fiction film "The Man Taken by the Light"; There is also the one that has been waiting for several years, Cao Baoping's "Wading Through the Sea of Anger".
Huang Bo's roar in the trailer makes people look forward to it for a long time.
But Huang Bo at this stage is not very lucky.
The Shanghai Film Festival's emperor-named work "Under the Ice" has not yet been released.
"Wading Through the Sea of Rage", fans have been waiting for two or three years without news.
The fantasy big production "Fengshen Trilogy" was also pressed for several years.
Since he has acted in less comedy, Huang Bo's films are either impossible or difficult to have a good script.
Even the comedy that was originally home may no longer be suitable for Huang Bo.
Today's comedy film market is the world of sketches, the stew of warm chicken soup.
From the black with dirt on Huang Bo's face to the festive warm yellow on Jia Ling's face.
No more spicy irony, perverse rebellion, absurd truth, cruelty behind humor.
Then Huang Bo's madness when he first came out is no longer useful.
Even, represented by Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, the gentle comedy of the common people has disappeared.
Today's comedy, will it still discuss housing prices in the paragraph and satirize real estate?
At a time when the Internet was not fully emerging.
Feng Xiaogang's film was the public's screen lip call at that time.
Everything you say is what you care about, and what you spit out is your accumulated feelings.
Uncle Ge was fortunate to be at the age of success and retirement.
What about the middle-generation actors who grew up as the backbone at this time?
It's not just Huang Bo.
The shortcomings of the current Chinese middle-generation male stars are very obvious.
Of course, there is no shortage of commercial value, and the box office has repeatedly set records, tens of billions of actors, 20 billion movie kings blow to the soft.
There are often high-grossing jobs, but what about the works and characters that can stay?
Shen Teng has not been able to tear off the label of happy twist.
Wu Jing caught the wind of the main theme since "Wolf Warrior 2" and was bound to "xx action".
More similar to Huang Bo's situation, his old friend Xu Zheng.
Over the years, he has also sought some more diverse opportunities.
Last year, he starred in and invested in the niche literary comedy "Love Myth", which became the second rated domestic film of the year.
But in 18 years, he supported the phenomenon caused by newcomer director Wen Muye's "I Am Not the God of Medicine", I am afraid that Wen Muye himself is unable to reproduce, and he steadily filmed the Shenzhen miracle.
Of course, the top resources in the Chinese film market today are still the middle generation of male actors.
Just like this year's Spring Festival file, the actress's presence is negligible.
But for these so-called top actors.
There are many dishes on the table, which can actually be classified as one:
Fertilizing carbs.
Either they continue to participate in the magnificent commercial box office battle, frequently brushing their faces in every important schedule.
Or, perhaps, it can only be a temporary silence and disappearance.
In Hollywood, top actors always go hand in hand on the two paths of pursuing commercial and artistic success.
Once crippled, it gradually loses its value.
But in the current internal entertainment, this seems to be only a one-way street.
Because it turns out that only the former is safe, able to have an unimpeded production cycle, the best resources, and the best schedule, without having to encounter too many unknown risks.
But here's the interesting thing.
In the era of great achievements of Ge You and Huang Bo.
The key words in Chinese movies are "adventure" and "restlessness."
Feng Xiaogang filmed "Party A and Party B" because the Good Dream Film and Television Company established with Wang Shuo suffered heavy losses one after another, and finally gambled with the leader Han Sanping.
Ning Hao filmed "Crazy Stone", thanks to Andy Lau's investment.
And now, perhaps, is the era of the highest cost of risk.
Along with Huang Bo's career, there is undoubtedly the grassroots counterattack myth he once represented.
This year's Spring Festival Gala, after eight years, Huang Bo once again appeared on the stage and sang a song "Little Brother".
He wore the same clothes and the same running posture eight years ago, which made people feel trance for a while.
It turns out that it has been eight years.
It was as if nothing had changed, as if everything had changed.
Huang Bo, who is trapped in time, can still break through?
This question today.
It's harder to answer than the one in 2014:
Because this is not answered by Huang Bo at all.
