The term "model worker" is not new in the entertainment industry, and it has become one of the "personalities" of many old artists and young artists, but in fact, there are not many artists in the entertainment industry who can truly be worthy of "model workers", and many people are just fishing in troubled waters.
First, Andy Lau, a "dedicated" artist recognized by stars in the industry
Zhang Yimou once said that the word "model worker" is the highest praise for an artist, and Zhang Yimou, as a senior top director, the "model worker" artist he personally certified is Andy Lau.
Zhang Yimou's evaluation of Andy Lau is that his work attitude is very good, that is, dedication.
Wu Mengda's evaluation of Andy Lau is that he is very motivated.
Wang Jing said he had never seen anyone who worked harder than Andy Lau.
Andy Lau, who debuted 41 years ago, is an "evergreen" in the entertainment industry in terms of national popularity and popularity, with a huge number of works, has won two Academy Awards and many nominations, and is now 61 years old and has no plans to retire, with nearly 20 movies to be released.
In addition to being recognized by the circle for his work ability and attitude, Andy Lau has no problem in terms of private morality, and Cheng Xiuwen evaluates him as the most restrained and self-disciplined person in the circle.
As an artist, Andy Lau has never relaxed his body management in the past 41 years, insisting on eating vegetarian for more than ten years, and he is already a good study for many middle-aged male artists who are now blessed and greasy and come out to play "young boys" in terms of external management.
For Andy Lau, filming injuries are also common, but he is not as good as Jackie Chan, who was born as a martial arts artist.
Second, Jackie Chan, the most "desperate" martial arts artist
An actor's filming injury can also be seen as a manifestation of "dedication", but there may be few people in the entertainment industry who can compare to Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan, who is nearly 70 years old, fell off his horse while filming "Dragon Horse Spirit", and endured the pain to comfort the staff, saying that it was okay.
69-year-old Jackie Chan is now full of pain left by filming, almost no stand-ins, and even Jackie Chan, who does not take protective measures in order to present better visual effects, also won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in his later years.
As Jackie Chan said, he said that he wanted a successor, but now he can't find a second Jackie Chan in the entertainment industry.
Third, Zhang Yi, 16 plays in 4 years, either filming or on the way to filming
In the mainland entertainment industry, Zhang Yi can also bear the title of "model worker". With the explosion of "Crazy", Zhang Yi has become the most concerned middle-generation actor in the entertainment industry, but when many supporting actors of "Crazy" are rubbing the popularity of "Crazy" outside the scene, Zhang Yi is just filming silently.
Some people found that Zhang Yi filmed a total of 16 dramas from 2019 to 2022, and entered 6 groups in 2022, and there are nearly 10 more works to be broadcast in the future.
Some netizens asked Zhang Yi if he had time to play games. Zhang Yi replied, not filming, just on the way to filming.
Zhang Yi's filming so intensively has also attracted a lot of doubts, and some netizens suspect that Zhang Yi filmed too much in a short period of time, and the role was "homogenized".
For example, the role of "policeman" alone has been played several times this year, and some netizens even said that Zhang Yi is a "drama bastard", comparing him with Liu Tao, the "prolific queen".
But in fact, a closer look at Zhang Yi's resume shows that Zhang Yi's works are "heavy and quality", most of his works are high-quality, and Zhang Yi's attitude towards filming is also very dedicated, such as staying on the set to continue learning after filming.
In order to interpret the role more realistically, I personally experienced the feeling of being shocked and lost more than 20 pounds in 46 days.
Fourth, the drama is a bastard, the weight is not heavy, and he frequently shoots bad films
"Model Workers" artists are not "model workers" if they have a large number of works, such as Liu Tao and Koo Tianle, one is the "prolific queen" of the mainland, and the other is the "model worker" in Hong Kong.
Liu Tao has filmed an average of five or six plays a year in the past two years, and there is no lack of her figure in major variety shows and parties, in addition, she has also developed live broadcasting into a "second career", not to mention that a large number of variety shows and live broadcasts have consumed her mystery as an actor.
The quality of Liu Tao's films in the past two years is uneven, most of them are bad films, even if he starred in relatively good quality works, Liu Tao's acting skills were also questioned, netizens felt that she had not spent her mind on seriously pondering acting, how can such Liu Tao be worthy of a "model worker"?
52-year-old Koo Tianle has been "weight not quality" like Liu Tao in recent years, as the president of the Hong Kong Artists Association, Koo Tianle has undoubtedly made great contributions to the Hong Kong film industry, but the quality of the film works he has made in recent years is really worrying.
Fifth, the drama coffee, everyone in the industry shouts and beats
Speaking of "weight is not quality", the "drama coffee" in the entertainment industry is also a "drama bastard" in the name of "model worker". Some time ago, Song Zuer caused a hot discussion because she was exposed to rolling two plays at the same time, and then many actors in the entertainment industry who had experience in rolling dramas were also picked up one after another.
Among them are Li Yitong and Yang Mi.
Yang Mi once revealed that he had filmed up to 11 plays a year.
Chen Hong once wanted to find Yang Mi when filming "Search", because Yang Mi was running four or five crews at the same time, so Chen Hong gave her up and switched to Wang Luodan.
Some netizens may not understand why an actor can't shoot multiple plays at the same time, because rolling plays sometimes not only drag down the progress of the entire crew, the most deadly thing is that an actor shoots multiple plays at the same time, and there is no time to calm down and ponder the role.
So it can be seen that Yang Mi has shot more than 100 works since her debut, especially after the explosion of "Palace", she has entered the state of "desperate three niangs", but then her work reputation has gradually declined, and she has gradually become the "queen of bad films".
Director Er Dongsheng made it clear that he would not use actors. He referred to the actors who rolled the drama as "actors without actor morality."
Last year, there was an official announcement prohibiting cast members from working in multiple crews at the same time. Therefore, the fact that an actor is "busy" does not mean that he is a "model worker".
Sixth, "fake dedication", treating hypocrisy as dedication
Of course, the actor's own "dedication" does not mean "model worker". Among the young generation of artists in the entertainment industry, there are really many who dare to establish "dedicated" personalities.
When Meng Meiqi was filming "Xianxian", she cried twice on the scene, and the whole crew surrounded her for various comforts, once her face was scratched by a branch, and once her hand grazed her skin.
No wonder Jackie Chan bluntly said that he couldn't stand it, some young artists now are afraid of the light and heavy, pampered, scratch a hand, and the doctor on the scene immediately rushed up.
Xiaohua Ju Jingyi even took "dedication" as her "motto", because she was "really falling" during filming, Ju Jingyi sent a dynamic complaint about her "miserable situation" on the set, and even was bitten by the crew's mosquitoes, and she had to brush a wave of existence.
Always remember to remind netizens how dedicated she is to memorize her lines, reciting lines while taking a bath.
During a certain filming, Ju Jingyi's knee was broken, which not only caused the entire crew to stop working, but she still left in a wheelchair.
But in fact, many of Ju Jingyi's works were dubbed in the later stage, and her "kidnapping scene" was also complained of being undedicated.
Another young artist, Lin Yanjun, was praised as "dedicated" when filming a diving scene, because of a tidbits that had been repeatedly diving.
After watching the "pretentiousness" of some young artists, it is no wonder that some senior artists can't help but complain about them. Like Wu Jing said, shouldn't actors endure hardships and stand hard work? You collect the money, and what people buy is your time.
Wang Jinsong even pointed out that young artists regard "memorizing lines" as a "bad habit" of the standard of professionalism, and he believes that memorizing lines is an actor's job, and regards it as "dedication", but in fact it is shameless.
Andy Lau, who has engraved "dedication" in his bones, does not understand why even punctuality and memorization of lines can now become advantages.
Chen Daoming also believes that the actor's hard work should not be magnified into "dedication", such as the cleaner has to get up at 4 o'clock, and you are still sleeping under the covers, it can only be said that it is the actor's job.
Many young artists should really look at the work attitude of some senior artists, don't raise their work to "dedication" and "model work", and lower their posture in order to do their work better.
