【Introduction】:
Living freely can sometimes give people an illusion.
It seems that his rhythm is not in accordance with the rules, and it seems that he has become the kind of person we most want to be.
Sun Zhixiang will always reveal the little arrogance of "children like us after 80", intentionally or unintentionally, but his innocent expression cannot make people wonder.
It will only make people sigh, hey, how he is still the "post-80s child".
Sun Zhixiang is not sharp, but he is also not sophisticated.
His lack of sharpness is manifested in his self-deprecation that he has long been able to maneuver without leaking traces. He leaves no room for himself, and sometimes even makes people a little overwhelmed. But, behind the laughter, you can clearly feel that a boy who is running hard and a calm "old soul" coexist in his heart.
We can't imagine what he's been through over the past decade, but we can't deny that it was the most comfortable way he could relate to himself and the world.
Fight for yourself the "first time"
Sun Zhixiang was most recently known for the role of Dr. Ma in "Love Apartment 4", which is also the only role he has actively fought for himself in his ten years as an actor.
At that time, he just accidentally saw an episode of "Love Apartment 2" and was immediately attracted to its lighthearted, funny comedic style. Sun Zhixiang tried everything to try to contact director Wei Zheng, but to no avail. In the end, I had to send him more than 20 private messages in a row on Weibo...
It was not until two years later that Sun Zhixiang accidentally learned the news that the "Love Apartment" crew went to Beijing to select actors, and the other party only stayed in Beijing for two days, so Sun Zhixiang rushed from Hengdian to Beijing overnight to prepare for the audition. Today, he still remembers the scene at that time, "I was the only actor they chose in Beijing, and every audition was fully prepared and seized every possible opportunity."
As an actor, Sun Zhixiang has been seeking a breakthrough in nearly a decade, from a cream boy to a cold killer to a role that is both good and evil... However, when he calmly said, "All along, I have not been able to come up with a masterpiece, so I am still waiting for a role and opportunity suitable for me, I hope that everyone really recognizes me in acting." ”
He exposed himself to the sun so carelessly, so sincerely and openly. Of course, he immediately put his confusion and interrogation out, "At the beginning, I was really confused, tanned, bearded, crazy fitness, all want to break through myself." 」 It wasn't until last year that I really got through this stage, as if I suddenly understood how important it was to stick to being myself, not to become which type the market needed, not to do it, just to be myself. ”
When I was a child, it was the hutong "Chen Haonan"
In the trailer of the newly exposed hot-blooded movie "King of Fighters College", Gao Lingfeng, a hot-blooded teenager played by Sun Zhixiang, confronted and fought with the evil forces on campus. Insisting on fitness for ten years, Sun Zhixiang released himself in this role.
"He did not seek trouble for himself, nor did he have a mess of sorrow, but used hegemony to solve campus violence in a man's way, and used an iron fist to write the warmest youth." He was a teenager who kept falling and standing up, and the blood of youth flowed through him. This kind of fist-to-flesh pain made Sun Zhixiang at that time perfectly integrate with Gao Lingfeng in the film.
There is no doubt that this progressive form of performance poses a huge challenge to Sun Zhixiang's performance, but at the same time, this bloody stimulation makes him deeply fascinated. He firmly believes that "every boy when he was a child has a story of stealing money together to play games in the arcade hall, and when the money is gone, he does not dare to go home."
In Sun Zhixiang's youth, the story that made him most relished was that when he was a child, he was locked in the house by his mother and was not allowed to go out to play, so he spent half a summer vacation bending the fence at home, and then jumped out of the window to play with his friends.
"Like us after the 80s children", after saying that, he laughed to himself... "We often play games such as red and white machines, painting pictures, and sieges, and in that era of killing Matt, everyone was a bit confused, and at that time I was especially like Chen Haonan!" "Unfortunately, when he was a teenager, Sun Zhixiang was often brought back and beaten up when his mother came back from work and found that there was no one at home...
Now, Sun Zhixiang, as the "little arrogant" of "Chen Haonan" in Beijing's small hutongs, is not only because he especially likes to "complain" about the weather in Beijing on Weibo, but also because when he was just admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, he thought that "what I said was Mandarin." As a result, he was judged by the teacher to be the "last" in the first exam, so he worked hard to become the first place for a long time after that.
I always wanted to be number one
The pursuit of the first place is the "standard" that Sun Zhixiang has been hiding in his heart.
Sun Zhixiang's most recent play was "The Sentinel under the Neon Lights," and he said he was watching the version starring the Beijing-Shanghai hosts, and the scene where "the soldiers are scrappy and ready to sacrifice their lives for the revolution" made him want to be on the stage again.
This makes Sun Zhixiang easily think of his graduation drama "Ballad of the Loess" ten years ago, when he performed in the last shot, "the father died, the children everywhere returned home, everyone's emotions were very full, I was particularly stupid at the time, crying on the stage", he now remembers his own scene setting at that time, but he knows that "the effort is too much, but I really want to play it well." ”
"When I was in school, I would learn to write a script, and if I didn't understand the editor, I wouldn't write a good play, and I couldn't act well." Therefore, Sun Zhixiang often studies the lines and discusses the script with the actors of the same crew, and the joy of being recognized is indescribable. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Sun Zhixiang's new identity as a screenwriter.
"I also happened to know the story of this Chinese-American, so I wanted to make this play, and I just started planning this year, but it has been almost three years since I really shut myself in a small dark room to write." The director I want to work with most now is Ang Lee, so I've been working on it too..." Sun Zhixiang doesn't seem to want to argue and explain for himself.
From morning to night, the script structure is laid out, the small blackboard of the character's name is constantly erased, and then given a new story, deleted and restored, and then endlessly revised... At the same time, there are countless meetings and countless compromises... No matter from which point of view, this is a process for Sun Zhixiang to repeatedly insist on and reshape himself.
Sun Zhixiang did not want to reveal too much about his ongoing creation. After ten years of precipitation, reading thousands of sails, after countless times of being chosen, he chose to use this way to give himself a new identity. It was a challenge, but more like he declared war on himself.
So as not to suddenly get old
Sun Zhixiang doesn't know when he started collecting 12-inch dolls, but for a long time, he was particularly fond of film and television characters such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Batman. Later, because there was really no place to put it at home, he slowly changed and began to fall in love with collecting sneakers.
For Sun Zhixiang, who has liked Kobe for more than two decades, the fanatical love for sneakers directly led to the storage room in his home being occupied by more than 200 pairs of sneakers. It is unimaginable that Sun Zhixiang, who is Virgo-inclined, will code each pair of shoes one by one according to category and brand, and each shoe box must be aligned up and down left and right. Even his family had to admire his ability to "close your eyes and know which pair is which pair and where it is".
On April 27, Sun Zhixiang posted a pair of Jordan 12th generation "Wings" basketball shoes on his Sina Weibo, with the text "My Golden Wings". This is his "new love", "12,000 pairs worldwide, the face is black, and the golden wings will come out after oxidation." However, Sun Zhixiang never deliberately showed off, but only "occasionally a friend would show him when he came to the house."
On weekdays, as long as there is no work, Sun Zhixiang will get up on time at nine o'clock in the morning to watch basketball, "a person in the room to watch the ball, when he gets up, he feels very scary." Only recently, after the retirement of "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant, Sun Zhixiang suddenly felt that he had become old. He said to the camera with great sadness, "Thank you for growing old with me."
Now, Sun Zhixiang still adheres to the habit of working out four days a week, playing basketball one day and resting one day. He insists on being the same as before, and such frequency and psychological cues keep him proud as a "post-80s kid like us" at all times.
For the role and himself, Sun Zhixiang has a directness that is different from ordinary people. He spared no effort to dissect himself and ridicule himself, and did not let go of himself in the slightest. Compared with his ten-year story and his solo screenwriting and nearly $30 million Sino-US co-production movie, we are more fortunate that Sun Zhixiang in front of us released the youthful, hot-blooded, clean and pure hutong "Chen Haonan".
Red-word
I don't know when it became old and became a matter of an instant.
We can't imagine when we'll press or be pressed that button.
In such a situation, living your own rhythm becomes precious.
