There is a kind of actor who is born without a relationship with the protagonist, but he is also born to be the finishing touch. In the highlight of the story, he never saw him, but in the whole story, he always inadvertently surprised everyone. Some people call them Green Leaves, some people call them Dragon Runners, and some people call them Drama Bones. The name of Jiukong may feel strange to many people, but as long as his role is mentioned, people will immediately show an "Oh yes" expression. The trust fund administrator who hindered Wang Duoyu's inheritance in "The Richest Man in Xihong", Wang Shuncai, who was scolded by people across the door in "The Unknown Generation", and the Five Lakes Gangster in "Raptor Crossing the River", these unfortunate villains are all nine holes. This year's three films have done well at the box office, so Nine Holes has a label in the circle of friends - "Green Leaf Philosopher", "This is cumulative, including thirty years of hard work." ”
"Punching nine holes" is always a laughing point
Jiu Kong, formerly known as Lu Kongwei, is a Taiwanese actor who spans many fields such as film and television, variety show host, and stage drama. In 2009, Jiu Kong participated in Ning Hao's work "Crazy Racing", in which he played the traitor Li Fara, selling fake drugs, hiring a murderer, planting stolen goods and other bad things, which is a typical scoundrel. Playing this role was his first time on the big screen and also opened up the mainland market for him. "'Crazy Racing' was made on film, it was my first contact with movies, I attached great importance to it, at that time there were also jobs in Taiwan that could not be stopped, I could only fly at both ends, three and a half months before and after." The sense of joy and rhythm in the expression of Jiu Kong is everywhere, "You know, the artist has a good face, you can't fly in economy class." After deducting the three-month plane ticket, there is 6500 Taiwan dollars left, which is equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan. Back in Taipei, people started calling me movie stars and asking me to invite me to dinner. A table ate 8,000 Taiwan dollars, and I lost 1,500 Taiwan dollars for that movie. ”
Most of the villains starring Nine Holes are unlucky villains, and "Playing Nine Holes" is a laughing point. Whether it is "Crazy Racing" ten years ago, or this year's "The Richest Man in Xihong" and "The Unknown Generation", Jiukong cannot escape the fate of "being beaten". He describes it as a kind of "neuro-comedy" acting path, "like when I play 'Hamlet' as 'Silly Mlet,' it's always a feeling of a tendon." Who said that Hamlet's personality and image must be huang Xiaoming's? This is neuro-comedy. Being beaten so badly, but everyone is happy, which is also the logic of neuro-comedy. There are not many people who can play this kind of drama. ”
The tone of "being beaten" began from "Crazy Racing", "Crazy Racing" was just about to set makeup, Ning Hao began to make a fuss on the head of the nine holes, to see how funny, "Come up and shave your head directly, after shaving and feel that it is not long enough, and then take a few strands." After the director finished making up, Huang Bo, Rong Xiang, and Wang Xun all felt funny. When you need to laugh, everyone can think about how to punch nine holes. Everyone is designing how to beat me, whether to knock on the head with plastic slippers, or to use a rolling pin, a large shell, or, to be a little more miserable, to eat cockroaches? Be sure to take it to the extreme. As an actor, you can't say no. The director hit me with a big shell, and everyone laughed. At this time, some layers of the story are stacked, and it is always me who is beaten, because I am the anti-number one. Jiukong said that as long as it is reasonable, he will do it, and he will not care about the unluckiness of the character.
Supporting characters should be stable and sacrifice themselves to illuminate others
Jiu Kong's first TV series after his debut in Taiwan is called "Lotus in Fire", which is the plot of human trafficking, "My mother is a brothel owner, my personality is very honest, and I fall in love with a girl who was sold into a brothel." "Later, Nine Holes began to play various villains." I have played traitors, lackeys, and traitors, and I will not destroy true love, nor will I touch porcelain, but I will not refuse such a role. For example, in "Yanxi Raiders", some friends said that if this finds me, it must be a eunuch, a kind of vitriol, I think it is OK. One thing is that no matter how bad the role I play, everyone will not hate me in private. I think that's one of the characteristics of neuro-comedy. Jiukong said that he usually does not reject the role, if he receives a role that he does not understand, he will ask the relevant people, "but after asking I will not act exactly as he said, but also process it myself, so that I can express it best in the movie." For example, recently talking about the drama of "Three-Body Problem", after all, it is far from my life, it is a relatively scientific and technological thing, and I want to learn it. In the next works, Jiu kong will also have some emotional drama, such as in the new work "Leisurely See nanshan", Jiu Kong played a role that went crazy for love.
"I also really want to act in inner dramas, the kind with emotions, and I also envy the emotional dramas of Shen Teng and Xia Zhu in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and when fireworks are released, I am about to cry." But "The Richest Man in Xihong" reached that point, and I had to tie me up with wire, and I had to think about how to tie it up to be funny. In "The Unknown Generation", Jiu Kong played Ren Suxi's fiancé, who was scolded by the other party across the door to spew dog blood, and then was beaten by Chen Jianbin to hold his head and squirm. However, in the original script, this character is also a bad old man with emotional drama, "The end of the story is that I bought a cake and went back to find Ren Suxi, and the gas exploded, and I wore a leather coat to hold Ren Suxi in my arms, I burned, she survived." 」 But not everyone can have an emotional drama, Ma Jiaqi and Hu Guangsheng's emotional drama should be prominent, I can't divide those feelings, so I must sacrifice me and illuminate others. This is a very correct logic, to make people with emotions more emotional, to make this bad old man a little funny, to make the whole play look more layered. "Set the right position and play to his strengths, although Jiukong is also eager to play the inner drama, he does not envy others." The green leaves of a movie are basic, some people say that the supporting roles can be casually made, but in fact, the supporting roles are very important, must be placed very stable, the touching point must be on the male and female protagonists, they take care of them, I will use better performance to make the scene stable. Everyone has their own seat, don't touch it, it will come to fruition. ”
Thirty years of accumulating "Green Leaf Philosopher"
This year, Jiukong has made three appearances on the big screen, and the box office of "Raptor Across the River", "The Richest Man in Xihong" and "The Unknown Generation" has accumulated more than 3.5 billion yuan at the box office, so Jiukong has a label in his circle of friends - "Green Leaf Philosopher". This is a line describing nine holes in a stage play recently launched by Taiwanese entertainment variety producer Wang Weizhong, "Stuffy Pot Out of the Mission". "Green Leaf" is well understood, jiukong plays a supporting role, and "philosopher" contains many layers of meaning. Jiukong has been on a TV show for thirty years, talking about antiques and calligraphy, locking up with crocodiles, stealing ostrich eggs, and diving. "There was a show that required me to dive high, saying that you can jump down like a needle by clamping your legs, and I jumped with a silly force, and as a result, my ass was on the water, and I was all blue." I wrote on Xiaoyanjie's program, and they said they had a lot of feelings, and then they asked me if I could write with my nostrils. I thought about it for a moment and said yes. I went back and started practicing, I stuck my nose and had nosebleeds, and now I write it well with my nostrils. This year, the company received a better box office for the movie, which was also accidental. I just dipped it in and brought some laughter to everyone. 'Philosophers', cumulative, consist of thirty years of effort. ”
Jiukong was originally a pilot, which is a great contrast to his current identity. "The three-degree space cannot be forced, and the reason I stopped flying was 'confidence exceeds ability'. I can do 100 points on earth, but not as soon as I go to heaven. I always felt that my nose was wider than the runway, so I would never be able to hit the runway. I made a 30-degree turn in the air, and after one turn I would drop 800 feet, but I didn't know it myself. Every time I finished practicing, I knelt under a mango tree and reflected, and the instructor came to educate me, and he said I would do anything, but I couldn't do it well. Once he took me to the highway to chase a truck and said, 'Nine holes, you can't fly, you should be a good truck driver, flying up into the sky is not for you.' Although I grew up wanting to be a happy pilot, I couldn't achieve it, I really didn't have talent. Now I'm an actor, whether on stage or in front of the camera, it's not all about talent, it actually took thirty years to practice. (Wang Lin)
