The big screen has ushered in a powerful tear gas - "Miracle Boy", and it is no exaggeration to say that the moving index is close to "Dream Quest".
The film tells the inspirational story of a young boy with facial defects, auge, who integrates into ordinary school, regains self-confidence, and faces life positively.
Letting go of prejudice, embracing kindness, not being humble, and maintaining humorous film themes are also a compulsory course for each of us.
In addition to the theme of warm tear-jerking, the expressive performance of the male protagonist and the young actor's accurate grasp of complex emotions are also impressive.
I don't know if you can see it, Auggie is played by the little boy who became popular in Hollywood two years ago with the Oscar-winning film "Room" - Jacob Trebray.
It's him ~ it's really not a little girl
Although the 11-year-old Jacob has just entered junior high school, he already has 9 big-screen works under his name, and the cooperation is still with actresses such as Julia Roberts, Brie Larson, and Naomi Watts.
In 2016, with "Room", he became a regular guest at major awards ceremonies.
He won the "Golden Satellite Award for Breakthrough Performance of the Year" and "Critics' Choice Award for Best Newcomer Actor", and became the smallest male actor nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award.
Some critics believe that he did not nominate for the Oscar, which was the biggest pearl of the year.
Looking back at my eleventh birthday, it's no wonder that some fans say, "Jacob fulfilled all my life dreams before he turned ten." A proper winner in life, ahead of the starting line.
Because of Miracle Boy, Jacob came to China for the first time. We also had the privilege of having a friendly and joyful conversation with the 11-year-old "would-be emperor".
When he first arrived in China, he was very excited, not only talking about the movie, but also mentioning his favorite roast duck, the Great Wall he wanted to go to the most and the big plan for the future.

Even Julia Roberts lamented to herself?
In Miracle Boy, the realistic makeup technique makes the audience completely invisible to Jacob's shadow. Many people even thought that the crew really found a sick child to star.
Jacob said that it is the makeup that is fine to every pore, enriching his imagination of the character, and he can find Auggie's feelings every day in the mirror.
Jacob reveals the makeup process on social media accounts
However, he also bluntly said that this makeup made him suffer a lot, "it takes an hour and a half to put it on every day, silicone is attached to the face, it is really itchy", and finally did not forget to add a sentence in pain, "Fortunately, it only takes half an hour to remove makeup."
Jacob's "professionalism" made the queen Julia Roberts sigh.
In a foreign media interview, she once said: "Don't look at Jacob's description so funny, it's really hard to perform with makeup, he never complained, I as a 50-year-old don't know if I can do it."
In addition to being infinitely close to Auggie in appearance, Jacob also made a special visit to a hospital in Toronto for patients with facial defects before filming, playing and singing with those special children.
He also did not forget to ask them to write down their experiences and send them to himself, "I received a lot of replies from them. I bound them up and read them before the show, putting myself in auge's shoes to experience how Auggie felt when he was bullied. ”
In "Miracle Boy", Jacob's auge is real and full of layers. Whether it is the grievances when you have low self-esteem, the secret pride of making friends for the first time, or the small humor outside of "sullenness", they are all interpreted into three points.
Not only Julia Roberts, but director Stephen Zhuoboski also praised Jacob, "Jacob has a talent far beyond his age, he is the most perfect candidate for this role, my favorite place is that Jacob is very interesting in real life, so his interpretation of Auggie also has a sense of humor".
He also quipped, "You don't have to teach Jacob how to act on set, the only thing you have to do is keep reminding him of 'Focus!". Focus！ (Concentrate, of course, children are like this."
The director of "Miracle Boy" was interviewed by the 1905 movie network
Speaking of Jacob's "masterpiece", it is also the 2016 Oscar hit "Room".
He plays a 5-year-old boy who grew up in a cramped shack with his mother. With his bravery and wisdom, he not only succeeded in rescuing his mother, but also helped her regain her confidence in a normal life little by little.
With such a heavy subject matter and complex characters, Jacob lifted it lightly. Acting skills are not lost to any adult actor.
The resistance and struggle when I first learned that I was "imprisoned" -
The shock and disbelief of the first escape from the hut and looking up at the blue sky are well interpreted.
What is more worth mentioning is that Jacob was more than 8 years old at the time, in order to perform the childishness of the 5-year-old child, he deliberately observed his cousin, and reflected the unique clumsiness of the 5-year-old child in the walking posture and the use of words.
No wonder some film critics joked that if he was shortlisted for that year's Oscar, Xiao Li would regret running away with regret.
Through months of spending time together, he and "Mom" Brie Larson became the best friend of BFF (best friend).
When "Room" swept through the major awards ceremonies, Brie's thank you could not forget Jacob's name.
Oscars: "Thank you Jacob, the partner who went through it all with me".
On the Golden Globes: "Jacob, the Medal of Military Merit has half of mine and half of yours!" ”
The Critics' Choice Awards are simply exaggerated: "Jacob, my source of inspiration, everything about this film is due to you." ”
In addition to the familiar "Room", Jacob's performance in other films is equally remarkable.
For example, in "The Book of Henry" with Naomi Watts, although the film did not do well at the box office, Jacob's younger brother role was quite warm.
<h1>The three views are full of positive energy </h1>
Love to watch Jackie Chan movies and want to make action movies
Although jacob, who is only 11 years old, has just entered middle school, he already has his own set of "philosophy of life" that loves reading and writing.
Talking about the theme of the movie, the psychology of the characters and other deep questions is the head of the Tao, the words and sentences are not at all like an 11-year-old child.
Jacob was interviewed by the 1905 Movie Network
An excerpt from this passage for you to feel:
1905 Movie Network: If you met a classmate like Auggie, how would you treat him?
Jacob: I'll treat him like everyone else. Because everyone is special and deserves to be treated equally.
1905 Movie Network: What if you encounter school bullying?
Jacob: I think the best way to deal with bullying is to talk to parents who tell me they don't want me to take on these "negative energies" alone, and they give me some advice, like to kill them with kindness, and if it doesn't work, ignore them.
1905 Movie Network: In the movie, Auggie's good friend Jack says bad things about him behind his back, why do you think Jack did this?
Jacob: I think Jack did that because, in that case, he felt peer pressure from his classmates, and he just wanted to fit in, because when he was playing with Julian, they were all saying bad things about Auggie, and Jack was just trying to fit in with them.
1905 Movie Network: In reality, would you forgive Jack if you were Auggie?
Jacob: I'm definitely going to forgive Jack, because the first rule of friendship is to learn to forgive.
1905 Movie Network: The theme of the movie is "Always Choose Kindness", how do you understand it?
Jacob: I understand "choosing kindness" to do what you can to make others happy, even if it's just a smile.
How, is it very "young and old"?
During the chat, Jacob told Xiao Dianjun that he usually likes to read and write the most, and most of the original novels in which he starred have been read.
Asked what is your favorite course? He replied with a little helplessness: "Physical education class", "Math and science are really not my dishes, I like to write, but there is no real class to teach you writing now, so I choose sports".
Jacob is fairly clear about future plans, "I will continue to be an actor and be interested in directors and screenwriters!" ”。
He also revealed that his favorite genre is action movies, "I have seen a lot of Jackie Chan movies, and I like the movie where he plays a spy and falls in love with a mother of three children (Agent Next Door)."
In "Miracle Boy", Several of Auggie's moves to fight back against the bully in the woods are likely to have been learned by him and Jackie Chan.
As for what script idea this "prospective screenwriter" has in mind. Don't ask, he won't say anything if he asks.
Because he said in the Ellen show, "Don't want me to tell you, I don't want my Idea to be killed by Spielberg, George Lucas, J. Lee. J. Abrams took it to make a few million."
<h1>The family's appearance is explosive </h1>
Born with a dan hand physique
The reason why Jacob is so loved by everyone is naturally inseparable from the good education of his family.
In an interview, Jacob said his favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because it's a time for extended family reunions. "My family is very loving and the members support each other, just like Auggie's".
Jacob drives to the Oscars with his parents
In real life, Jacob has an older sister and a younger sister, both of whom are also young actors. Jacob was discovered by the director while auditioning with his sister's advertisement, and he entered the industry.
Interestingly, the sister also made a cameo role in Miracle Boy – the girlfriend of one of Auggie's senior boys in the woods.
You may not guess that Jacob's dad is a police detective, because of his tall and handsome appearance, he was once popular on the Internet, was named "the sexiest dad/detective", and his popularity even surpassed Jacob.
When asked about "when fans say 'Daddy is hot, what do you think?", Jacob shyly said, "I will only say he is handsome, not that he is sexy."
As for her mother Christina, she is not only a housewife, but also an "acting director" for three children.
She will first learn the script herself, and then interpret the feelings behind the story to the children. In the words of director Drobowski, Jacob's good acting is due to his mother, who is very remarkable ("Incredible").
Jacob not only has no acting skills to lose to adult actors, but also a natural "dan player" physique, with his awards ceremonies and talk shows never lack of topicality.
And let Xiao Dianjun give you an inventory (Gao Meng warning!) ）
<h1>【Awards Season】</h1>
For small players, there are two major problems in the awards season:
First, the red carpet has a bad view, and it is all legs.
Jacob was asked on the red carpet "how do you see today's red carpet from your point of view" and replied: "All I can see is the legs, this is my angle".
Second, the microphone is too high to reach.
One floor is not enough to ask for help "artificial microphone holder", and if it is not enough, it will be a few more layers.
The acceptance speech when he won the Critics' Choice Award "Best Newcomer Award" also turned the audience upside down.
"It's so cool, it's the best day of my life. Guess where I'll put this trophy! Just on the shelf, next to my Millennium Falcon! ”
Then, it was really put, there was a picture and there was truth:
The Critics' Choice Awards are the closest and seem to carry the heaviest weight in his heart
How to celebrate such a heavy prize, Jacob gave the right way to open the backstage of the awards ceremony.
That's right, it's awkward dancing
The award ceremony is coming, how can all kinds of frames be less.
Jacob shared the behind-the-scenes story of the photo with Xiao Li above on the Ellen show: "I saw that everyone had a super long queue to see Xiao Li, and I thought, anyway, I am a child, I can cut in line, so I will cut in line!"
I said to him, "'Hello! Then I said good luck, he said good luck to me, and then he won the prize, but I didn't get it. So if you want to win, come to me! ”
Another big reason why Jacob is on the Oscar hot search list is his "Star Wars ashes fan attribute".
Black Samurai's socks, backstage group photo, where there is Star Wars how can he be missing.
His fierce reaction to the Star Wars robots on stage has also been listed at the Oscars for the best of the night many times.
<h1>[Talk Show].</h1>
Although Jacob is young, he is already a regular on various well-known talk shows, and has chatted with Uncle Chicken Feather, Uncle Conan, and Sister Allen for five dollars.
On the Conan show, when asked whether he preferred "Room" or "Star Wars", Jacob replied solemnly: "'Room' is indeed a good movie, but it still can't be compared to 'Star Wars', people will go crazy for 'Star Wars!!! ”
He also revealed that he was on set every day with Colin Trevorro, the former director of "Book of Henry" and "Star Wars 9", who wanted to star in "Star Wars", "You don't know how many times I told him, I said I can be an Ivok, can be a child of Skywalker flashback, really can't play Chewbacca!" 」 ”
Last Halloween, Jacob cossed Brother Atang to visit the chicken feather show, and as soon as he came up, he gave the chicken feather uncle a dismount.
He asked Uncle Chicken Feather not to let parents snatch their children's Halloween candy anymore, and said sternly: "You may not like to eat candy, but it is really important to us, if I tell you, your wife has spent all your money, how do you feel??? ”
<h1>【Everyday】</h1>
Jacob's cute selling daily is all kinds of photos with celebrities!
Asked who he's met recently, he said triumphantly, "I ran into Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Wonder Woman (Gail Gadot) and it was just cool. “
In the coming years, Jacob's schedule will be packed.
He will star in Xavier Dolan's new film The Death and Life of John Donovan, with Natalie Portman and Jessica Chastain.
Will also join the Fox reboot of "Predator", the 11-year-old boy's star path is really unlimited.

I want to say that the little golden man that Oscar owes him will have to pay it back sooner or later.
If you insist on not giving the little actor the recognition he deserves, it doesn't matter, we are all willing to wait for him to grow up.
