For many years, the outside world has said that Du Yiheng and Andy Lau have the same appearance, and people who have more contact with Du Yiheng often talk about a very wonderful thing - born from the heart, this is not false. The years have gone by, and they have not reversed their appearance and temperament more and more like, probably because they have the same pure heart - the more they are all gained, the more they work hard, humble and dedicated. Du Yiheng and He Gang co-starred in the movie "The Return of the True and False Monkey King God of War" held a boot ceremony in Beijing yesterday. Both debuted at that time because of the imitation of Andy Lau and caused a sensation, and at this time they also occupied their own seats in the film and television circle. Their joint efforts have also become one of the highlights of the film's media attention.
Du Yiheng: I hope that the "true and false Monkey King" can create an industry myth like Neptune
The annual fantasy giant film Journey to the West Film "The Return of the True and False Monkey King God of War", produced by Wanwei Pictures, Wanwei Cultural Industry and Wanwei Cultural Media, producer Jiang Yihan, producer/director Jiang Youcheng, screenwriter Chen Banghe and starring Du Yiheng, He Gang and Yu Menghan attended the launching ceremony yesterday to share creative ideas with fans.
Du Yiheng and He Gang played the real and false Monkey King in the movie. Du Yiheng, because of his appearance resemblance to Andy Lau, served as Andy Lau's royal stand-in in the early days of his debut, which was a desperate martial art that he was willing to do, and Andy Lau was very optimistic about him and provided him with many resources. Ten years later, Du Yiheng finally became popular with the role of the old fourth in "Let the Bullets Fly", and then participated in many big films such as "Hongmen Feast", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Wise Tiger Mountain" and so on, which is the most successful case of counterattack behind the scenes to the front of the stage in the film and television industry, from Wu Ti to the international film emperor, during which he was bitter and self-aware. In 2005, He Gang participated in the "Mei Yan Fangfei" large-scale imitation show, imitating Andy Lau to become the national champion, and then partnered Zhao Baogang and Song Dandan to lead the starring in hot dramas such as "The Nth Power of Home", and now he is also a hot student. The selection of these two male stars to co-star also shows the market acumen of the producer.
In an interview with the media, Du Yiheng talked about the film's material and positioning, and especially appreciated the filmmaker's creative concept. "In the past 6 years, the total box office of 9 journeys to the west has been 8.4 billion. "Journey to the West" is not only a cultural symbol rooted in the hearts of Chinese, but also a cultural symbol representing the world of Dialogue in China. I admire Jiang Yihan, chairman of Wanwei Pictures and producer of the film, who has been committed to developing IP original content that 'represents the independent world view of traditional Chinese culture', and can maximize the value of Chinese original literature through IP incubation from original literature to film and television, games, animation, VR and so on. She assembled an experienced production team for the film, which gave us great confidence in co-creation. The 'confrontation version' concept poster released this time, two monkey kings gathered their backs in the center of the gossip churning in the sea of clouds, the demons around them were exposed, and the two Sun Wukong stared at each other, the mysterious beauty of the oriental fantasy, which showed the team's intentions and skills, and also implied that this would be a new westward journey masterpiece that attracted attention. I hope that "The Return of the True and False Monkey King God of War" will stand out from many films like "Aquaman" and create an industry myth. Film and television people should indeed have a deep-rooted and deep-rooted sense of mission and not forget the inheritance. Only by promoting Chinese culture can Chinese films find their place in the international film market. ”
Born from the heart, the more they get, the more they work hard, be humble and dedicated
Breaking out of his seat may also be the voice of Du Yiheng for many years. Many people once thought that Du Yiheng looked like Andy Lau to take a shortcut, but success has never been replicable. Why can many stand-ins with star faces get rid of the curse of the film and television circle, walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and break out of their seats?
The staff who know Du Yiheng said that because, born from each other, they are indeed like, the more they get, the more they work hard, humble and dedicated.
For example, the staff member said, "He is the actor we have met who wants to work with the most." Sometimes, there are inevitably omissions in the work. For example, accidentally promoting materials and misleading information related to him, or participating in events to prepare improper clothing. We all feel embarrassed ourselves, but although Teacher Du has losses, he always says 'hard work' to the staff for the first time, and there are not many people who can always see the hard work of the staff behind the mistakes, he is a star, which is even more rare. He deserves to succeed."
Now, with Andy Lau's retirement in recent years, this year's film and television circles have a popular saying that Du Yiheng has "the most cost-effective face". But the colleagues who have really worked with him laughed it off, because they all understood that the most cost-effective thing to do with Du Yiheng was that he still maintained the original intention of hard work, humility and dedication.
"Very happy and worried, must learn from the classics"
"He's never been a man who worships high and low," says people in the industry he's worked with. Despite some recent controversy about six-year-olds and Journey to the West. But when Du Yiheng was asked by the media about the six-year-old child, he was full of respect, "That version is too classic, (we asked him) to learn the scriptures is a must."
Although the film and television circle has the unspoken rule of grabbing the C position, Du Yiheng and He Gang, the two actors of the "true and false Monkey King", are sympathetic to each other. He Gang also praised Du Yiheng's dedication, "(Six-year-old children) taught me to watch table tennis and practice the speed of eye rotation. There are also candle flames to practice the sharpness of the eyes. This is too difficult, look at it for a long time, and you will shed tears. Du Yiheng is very attentive and goes home every day to practice."
Du Yiheng said: "I am very happy and worried about being able to "The Return of the True and False Monkey King God of War". I am worried because of respect and caution, and I am happy because I have great confidence and confidence in cooperating with Jiang Youcheng, producer and director Jiang Youcheng, screenwriter Chen Banghe, and good brother He Gang of Wanwei Pictures."
In view of the fact that Du Yiheng has just won the international film emperor, and the previous "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Wise Tiger Mountain" are the phenomenal box office films of the season, coupled with the particularity of the theme of "Journey to the West", the industry predicts that "The Return of the True and False Monkey King God of War" has the genes to dialogue with the international market, and is expected to become a masterpiece of the same level as "Aquaman".
