Last night's Golden Rooster Ceremony, the industry celebrated, and the promulgation of the new Golden Rooster Awards is also a highlight moment for the film industry to review and commend the past year.
Among them, "Win the Championship" won the best feature film, and Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Dongyu also became the new Golden Rooster Film Emperor and Queen with "Heroes of Fire" and "Young You" respectively. From the nomination lineup, it can be seen that the competition behind this year's Golden Rooster Awards is fierce, the winners are well deserved, and the films and filmmakers nominated are also excellent representatives of the industry.
There are losses and wins under the awards, while everyone pays attention to the winners, the pat sir wants to say that there is a happy actor in the nomination list - Wu Yuhan.
As the director & screenwriter & actor under Happy Twist, Wu Yuhan has been in the industry for more than ten years, but in the past, he was more doing behind-the-scenes creative work, directing a number of happy twist blockbuster stage plays, by playing the male protagonist "Sun Tong" in last year's "Half a Comedy", this handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is more well known to the public.
With the role of "Sun Tong", Wu Yuhan was not only nominated for the Best Actor of the 33rd Golden Rooster Awards, but also nominated for the Best Actor Award of the Golden Deer Award of the 15th Changchun Film Festival, and the Best Emerging Actor Award of the 27th China Film Huading Awards.
Behind Wu Yuhan's growth and fame, there are actually more stories.
Life in the play
The title of "Half a Comedy" is very interesting, called "Comedy", in fact, the joke and irony of real life, in the film, Momo (played by Ren Suxi), Sun Tong (played by Wu Yuhan) and Zheng Duoduo (played by Liu Xun) three young people with very different personalities and different living environments also represent the different life states of young people in the real world. The so-called "comedy" seems to be a beautified expression of helplessness, embarrassment and embarrassment in life, and the remaining half of the "half comedy" is the self-insistence of real life.
The male protagonist, Sun Tong, is actually a more popular representative of young people. After all, few people can have a multi-gold father like Zheng Duoduo who can play life, and there are also no many people who are from the Middle Class family of Momo in the film, and maintain a Hibiscus posture in the human world. We are all more like Sun Tong, mixed between multiple contradictions such as reality and ideals, family and friendship, self and society, cowardice and compromise are not defects, but also the psychological state that often occurs repeatedly in daily life.
The most ordinary role actually means the most difficult to interpret, because Sun Tong has the most realistic projection, so how to interpret this role naturally and realistically and let the audience feel empathy is a big challenge for actors. In "Half a Comedy", Wu Yuhan handed over an impressive performance report card.
As some viewers commented, "The favorite is still the role of Sun Tong, not because he finally did what you dare to think of, but because his previous performance was real and heart-wrenching." In two-thirds of the story content of the film, the role of Sun Tong has always been in a state of intolerability, the pressure from work, family, life and emotions has been smashed on him, and he smiles and kindly accepts all the dissatisfaction or ridicule of the outside world, and continues to maintain the state according to resentment, in the process of accumulating pressure, Sun Tong's emotions gradually move to the critical point, and finally Sun Tong completely broke out in a climactic scene in the hospital.
Behind the shaping of this character image, what is needed is that the actor can grasp and show the progression of the character's emotions in a clear layer, and the change of the character's state under the backlog, wu Yuhan has a good grasp of these subtle expressions. For example, the helplessness of the corners of the mouth when the mother blames her for wearing the roommate's clothes, the confusion in her eyes when she works and sings at the bar, the resolute attitude when asked by the good brothers to break up with their girlfriends... I have to say that Wu Yuhan played sun tong in the real world, that is, the epitome of many of our lives.
What I especially like about sir shooting is the scene where Zheng Duoduo's wedding and Sun Tong hides outside the hotel and smokes. Completely different from the radiant state in the previous hot love, Sun Tong's whole person is gloomy, seemingly uninhibited smoking a cigarette and playing with the old mother haha, but the appearance is in stark contrast with his inner world, and the tired Sun Tong in the lens also seems to be under the pressure of life again and again, and it is really painful.
Outside the play, Wu Yuhan's good acting skills are also recognized by everyone, and director Zhou Shen once said that he is the most suitable for this role among the 500 audition actors.
In the process of filming, Wu Yuhan also used his previous director and screenwriting experience to expand the role of Sun Tong more richly. For example, Sun Tong's personality is more indecisive, but Wu Yuhan suggested that the characters still have to have a crisp and neat decision behavior, so there is a plot beyond the "Sun Tong" personality such as Momo and others fighting with others, playing and singing to Momo in the bar, etc., and because of this, the audience can see the real process of Sun Tong's character transformation.
Wu Yuhan said: "Because my personality is also very similar to Sun Tong, I want to tell the audience that he is not born cowardly, it is life that gives him too much pressure and makes him like this." It is not easy for him to finally let go of all his baggage for love. I'm going to get back the edges and corners he's been grinded off. ”
Wu Yuhan's efforts have won positive feedback from the industry and the audience, through the role of "Sun Tong" in "Half a Comedy", he has been favored by many industry awards, and also directly out of the circle with strength and appearance, many viewers have said "Watch a movie I actually powder you!" "After watching the movie, become your face powder" "Come on, treasure boy", Wu Yuhan, who was originally doing low-key behind-the-scenes work, also has a support group.
Spit on a stone and it will be wet at last
It can be seen that good actors have ideas, and these ideas are derived from their life experiences and life thinking. Behind the praise of actor Wu Yuhan is also the tempering and accumulation of his practice for more than ten years.
Wu Yuhan graduated from the Drama Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, and was introduced to Happy Twist by his brother, and was also the disciple of Shen Teng and Song Yang. After graduation, he officially started his acting career from the TV series "Five Star Hotel", and participated in many film and television works in the first six or seven years of his debut, and also created some impressive screen roles, such as the handsome and cute Yu Dongdong in the magic sitcom "Confused Little Angel". This classic drama is also the youth memory of many people, and now many netizens still turn out the ancient stills on social networks to relive the joy and warmth of the past.
While participating in film and television works, Wu Yuhan also began to work behind the scenes, serving as the director and screenwriter of some sketches and stage plays, and his sketches won the first and second prizes of the National Sketch Competition.
In 2013, he joined Happy Twist, and Wu Yuhan's creative talent was further stimulated, and he successively launched explosive works such as "Grandfathers", "Li Cha's Aunt", "Shakespeare Don't Be Angry" and so on. Among them, "Grandpa" is one of the highest-grossing musicals of Happy Twist, which ranks in the top ten of the national musical at the box office, and "Li Cha's Aunt" has also become the top work of Happy Twist since it was staged, with more than 700 consecutive performances, as for "Shakespeare Don't Be Angry" through deconstruction of a different kind of Shakespeare classic "Romeo and Juliet", which is widely acclaimed.
Director & screenwriter is doing a good job, although he is from a science class, but before participating in "Half a Comedy", Wu Yuhan has been rooted in the background for a long time. Why did he play the male protagonist of the film "Sun Tong"? It was actually a coincidence.
At that time, Wu Yuhan was busy creating, just when the preparation of "Half a Comedy" needed actors, Wu Yuhan thought of "stringing a small role to change the brain", so he walked into the lens of directors Zhou Shen and Liu Lu.
Cameo small role also has to audition, Wu Yuhan's first audition met the heroine Momo's actor Ren Suxi, the director let the two of them improvise, so Wu Yuhan and Ren Suxi staged a couple quarrel on the spot. What can be imagined now is that the audition scene was wonderful at that time, and later Wu Yuhan also said, "If the director does not shout click, it is estimated that he can act for one day." ”
Later, Wu Yuhan got the role of the male protagonist "Sun Tong", and for two scenes of playing guitar and singing in the bar, Wu Yuhan learned guitar hard and practiced more than 60 times behind the scenes.
As for singing, Wu Yuhan also personally played. The film's two promotional songs, "Captain Crazy" and "If I Weren't Me", were sung by Wu Yuhan. During the epidemic at the beginning of the year, Wu Yuhan also collaborated with his wife and friends who were making music to launch the song "Silent Warmth" to pay tribute to the angels in white.
In this way, Wu Yuhan's role is enriched, he can direct plays, write scripts, perform, and sing, perhaps he was very low-key in the past, but now his strength does not allow him to be low-key.
The Golden Rooster nomination is just the beginning
The film and television industry is colorful, talented people are not in the minority, and walking in this area of the river and lake in addition to talent is more important than the attitude of doing things for people. No one can go all the way, but perseverance and diligence are essential qualities to go on.
Looking back at Wu Yuhan's experience since he entered the industry for more than ten years, when he first came out, he also faced the embarrassing situation of no drama to shoot, and the shift from actor to behind-the-scenes work was also a hurdle for Wu Yuhan at that time, basically penniless when he first started, and persistence and hard work were the only things Wu Yuhan could do at that time.
Regarding the creation of this matter, Wu Yuhan has his own persistence and excellence. Behind the creation of the musical "Grandfathers", Wu Yuhan, as a director & screenwriter, often quarreled with the music director at the rehearsal scene because of one or two words in the lyrics, which made other actors dumbfounded, and the music director was still his wife.
Another example is that in the filming of the last climactic fight scene of "Half a Comedy", Sun Tong, played by Wu Yuhan, and Zheng Duoduo, played by Liu Xun, broke out and wrestled together, and after the scene was filmed, Wu Yuhan had swollen hands and neck pain, which made him think that he had a thyroid problem, and later reacted to the "sequelae" of the fight during filming.
A few days ago, Wu Yuhan tried to dress at the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony, and there was a small episode when discussing the live styling, because Wu Yuhan was growing his hair for the next new play, so his hair was in a more messy state, and his sideburns were also very long. When the stylist suggested trimming his hair, Wu Yuhan's first reaction was to "keep it", because this is what the next film needs.
It is not difficult to see that Wu Yuhan is a person who works very hard, and what supports him to fight forward is his persistence in creation and his own requirements. From actor to director & screenwriter to return to the screen, from TV series, sketches, stage plays to movies, Wu Yuhan has been breaking boundaries and completing challenges, as he said, "If you choose to retreat, you will always stay in a safer area, if you choose to take this step, then you will continue to move forward." 」 This is the attitude that Wu Yuhan has insisted on for many years, and it is also the secret of his success.
Wu Yuhan, whose brilliance is being seen and recognized by more and more people, is also getting busier and busier, in addition to participating in new films, his new drama as a director has also entered the preparatory stage and is expected to start next year. In order to prepare for the new works, Wu Yuhan is also brushing dramas, rationalizing materials and collecting materials from morning to night. Look, Wu Yuhan took another step forward without stopping.
The nomination for the Best Actor of the Golden Rooster is both a recognition of Wu Yuhan and an encouragement to him, and he himself modestly said on Weibo that "nomination is affirmation, and we must continue to work hard." After all, the road ahead is still very long, and Wu Yuhan's future may be infinitely large.
The Golden Rooster nomination is the starting point of Wu Yuhan's next jump, and for this beautiful and talented Han, Pai Sir clearly expressed his long-term optimism.
