If you want to ask which actors who have studied opera have left the most classic roles in the film and television circle, in addition to "Seven Little Blessings", the representative characters are Liu Xun, Wu Xingguo, Yu Rongguang and so on.
In fact, they have one more advantage than the actors from Coban, that is, they have a more thorough sense of the rhythm of the drama, and it is not a problem to play the decent villain. Now in the transformation of glory, Wu Xingguo and Liu Xun have also left the film and television circle, and there is a person who is likely to succeed them in the "new generation", he is Sheng Jian.
If you don't know who Sheng Jian is, then you must remember the villain in the 2011 "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Tan Luzi, the second gear head of the West Factory: he has a sharp and intimidating gaze, is not angry and arrogant, and also carries a sinister atmosphere, and the aura even once overpowered the factory gong Yu Huatian played by Chen Kun, becoming one of the highlights of the film, and the film also made Sheng Jian nominated for the "Academy Award for Best Newcomer".
Although Sheng Jian is considered a "newcomer" in the film and television circle, he is already a veteran actor in Taiwan's opera industry. He is a famous Taiwanese opera performer, the eldest disciple of film actor Wu Xingguo, a pillar of the contemporary legendary theater, and has enjoyed a very high reputation in Taiwan Pear Garden before entering the show business circle. Therefore, some people also call him "the second Wu Xingguo".
Sheng Jian and Xu Ke were related to the 2005 stage play "The Tempest", this cooperation made Xu Ke appreciate Sheng Jian very much, and he wanted to invite him to start a movie, but because he was afraid of delaying his development in the opera industry, he did not find a cooperation opportunity until 6 years later, and this movie is "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
Some people questioned that Sheng Jian's performance in this film was a bit "too strong", but in fact, this is exactly the effect that Xu Ke wanted, because "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" itself inherits the Peking opera and stage drama style of "Dragon Gate Inn", so he asked Sheng Jian to retain the performance of opera performance. During the filming of this film, Sheng Jian's understanding and control of the role of Tan Luzi and his professionalism in everything were also highly appreciated by Xu Ke.
Later, Sheng Jian successively participated in "Di Renjie's God Dragon King" and "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings", playing Emperor Gaozong twice, although the role was not too much, but still deduced the domineering spirit of King's Landing, which can prove the strength of his aura, and can also prove that Xu Ke is still very partial to him.
In addition to cooperating with Xu Ke, Sheng Jian also marched into the field of film-level web dramas, playing zeng Shihuan, the head of the anti-black group from the original single-mindedly defending law and justice, and later falling into the abyss step by step due to the temptation of power and money, from here on, Sheng Jian has worked hard to wash away the traces of opera performance, and also let the audience appreciate his deeper acting skills.
Sheng Jian's master Wu Xingguo was 39 years old when he was first "electrocuted", and Sheng Jian, who was born in 1973, was also 38 years old when he took over the filming of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
Now that 7 years have passed, in the eyes of many male actors, the passage of time may mean "crisis coming", but it has also accumulated enough performance experience and performance wisdom, which is the time when acting is "pure fire". Perhaps the age of 45 is the "right year" for Sheng Jian, and I sincerely hope that he can also show his ambitions in the film and television circles, and I hope that he will have more wonderful room for play in the future in the hands of Xu Ke, who successfully built Liu Xun into a "thousand faces" drama road.
