Recently, there is a domestic suspense drama that has been popular with the audience.
Some people say that this is the best domestic drama in recent years, and there is no one.
It is also said that the divine work is a divine drama that cannot be faulted.
Some people even watched a few episodes and bluntly said that they don't need to book, it is the best domestic drama of the year.
This TV series that won unanimous praise from the audience is the suspense drama "Long Season" directed by Xin Shuang and starring Fan Wei and Qin Hao.
At present, the drama has ended, and the Douban score has risen from 9.0 all the way to 9.4.
Such a score is not said to be a suspense drama, it is also a ceiling level in domestic dramas.
The reason why "The Long Season" can be "sealed as a god" is that it tells a story in a shabby and new way.
The picture is warm, the plot is humorous, and most importantly, it uses the shell of a suspense drama to express the characters' joys, struggles and ups and downs under the torrent of the times.
And such a good story must also have actors who can match.
In the play, whether it is Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Liu Lin, or Jiang Qiming, Li Gengxi, and Hou Yansong, they have all contributed good acting skills.
Even supporting roles like Ren Suxi and Zhang Jingchu, who do not show their faces much, the performances are so good that people can't take their eyes off.
But even if there are so many wonderful performances of actors, they still can't stop a person in the play from acting brilliantly.
He is Fan Wei, who plays the male protagonist Wang Xiang.
From the beginning to the end of the series, Fan Wei's acting skills are online throughout the process, and his acting skills have reached the point of being natural, not playing a role but making people feel that it is him.
With this new drama, this 61-year-old actor who has been "ignored for many years" by everyone has once again ushered in a surge in popularity this year.
1. The actor whose strength is underestimated has once again contributed a god-level performance.
When it comes to Fan Wei, many people have the impression of him as a funny comedian on stage.
The phrase "fate" makes people laugh unconsciously when they think of it.
But in fact, Fan Wei is a powerful actor with superb acting skills, and has won the Golden Horse Award, Beijing College Student Film Festival and other actors.
As netizens commented on Fan Wei's acting skills:
He is an underrated actor by the audience, and every time you see his new works, you will sigh and feel as if you have reacquainted with Fan Wei.
And Fan Wei's performance in "The Long Season" is the best proof of this evaluation.
The story of the play spans 18 years, so the male protagonist Wang Xiang played by Fan Wei also has a large span in age.
The early Wang Xiang was in middle age, and he was in full swing at that time. Not only the train driver in the factory, but also the advanced model worker.
Such a sense of superiority also makes Wang Xiang have to take care of everything.
Retired old employees rummage through garbage cans, he wants to criticize the sentence "Huagang is my family's hygiene depends on everyone."
After the shredded body appeared, he rushed to the scene as a security activist in the factory, spitting and providing information to the police.
Back home, he also showed a typical image of a northeastern man, who was macho to his wife and would not listen to his son.
Wang Xiang, who grew old in the later period, was full of white hair, and the former scenery was completely gone, replaced by a sense of vicissitudes.
And now he bends down not only his back, but also his posture.
The series of blows he experienced in middle age made him lose his heart for a while, no longer spoke aggressively, and there was little smile on his face.
Doing anything is no longer passionate, and the way of expression becomes more subtle and strategic.
The role with such a huge contrast before and after is particularly vivid, real and three-dimensional under Fan Wei's delicate and exquisite interpretation.
Fan Wei switched freely between the two Wang Xiang, and one person was like two people, and he combined two people into one person.
And this is the highest state of a good actor, the unity of people and drama.
In addition, the most amazing thing about Fan Wei is that he accurately conveys the inner emotions of the characters with a calm performance.
At the beginning of the play, Fan Wei did not deliberately show the grief of the elderly Wang Xiang losing his child, and when he found the back of the murderer, he smiled and comforted his fantasy son.
But the more funny and calm he is, the more the audience can feel the sadness behind the characters.
There are three scenes in the play that impressed Bluestone.
The first was the accidental death of his son, and when Wang Xiang rushed to identify the body, he went from not wanting to believe it to walking to his son's body step by step.
Every step of Fan Wei is acting, and every second is stimulating the audience's tear ducts.
It takes the feeling of a father trying to wake up his child, unwilling to believe that the child has died.
The second is the elderly Wang Xiang who came home alone and saw his wife and son sitting at the dining table waiting for him to eat in a trance.
Wang Xiang hesitated incredulously, and then immediately walked into the house, but he slowed down when he was almost in the living room.
Standing outside the living room and looking inside, I found that there was nothing, all this was my imagination.
After waking up, Wang Xiang sat alone on the sofa in the living room, and the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of his soul.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xiang drove to the river alone, first talking softly, and then couldn't help shouting "Yang'er".
One by one, the heart-wrenching, the longing and guilt for his son, the depression and loneliness of these years, poured out like moonlight.
That heartbreaking feeling is hard to let go of and makes people cry.
The third is the ending, when he finally learned the truth about his son's death, he walked alone on the bridge, kneeling on the ground.
At this time, the regret and persistence in Wang Xiang's eyes disappeared, replaced by a confusion and emptiness.
The persistence that sustained him for 18 years finally came to fruition, and at this moment his life was hopeless.
At this time, Wang Bei's "dad" woke him up, Fan Wei's eyes suddenly had light, and Wang Xiang's life was also awakened again.
I have to admire Fan Wei's acting skills, just relying on the change of eyes, he performed the emotional transformation of the characters from life to death to life.
It is not surprising that such a performance is called god-level by everyone.
2. Partner Zhao Benshan became popular, but after leaving Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei walked the road wider.
When it comes to Fan Wei, there is absolutely no one person to bypass.
The king of comedy Zhao Benshan.
Zhao Benshan once said that if you want to crush me in performance, it can only be Fan Wei.
In the film and television industry, Fan Wei is the only one who can make a generation of sketch kings publicly praise.
Before meeting Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei was already famous in the literary and art circle, but at that time, his main focus was not sketches but crosstalk.
But slowly fewer people listened to crosstalk, so Fan Wei decided to act in sketches.
In 1993, Fan Wei won the Star Award of the 2nd Northeast Three Provinces Drama Sketch Competition with his sketch "Thief's Adventure".
He also won the first prize in performance and the second prize in creation at the Hefei Crosstalk Festival in China, with his crosstalk "Important Account".
It was also in this year that Zhao Benshan looked for actors for his sketch "Walking the Road", and after watching Fan Wei's performance, he threw an olive branch to the other party.
At this time, Zhao Benshan has become popular with the Spring Festival Gala sketches "Blind Date", "Little Nine Old Music", "I Want to Have a Home" and "Old New Year".
So in the face of Zhao Benshan's invitation, Fan Wei agreed.
After a long period of training and running-in, in 1995, Zhao Benshan took Fan Wei to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "Uncle Niu Tigan".
After that, he successively cooperated with Zhao Benshan on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to perform sketches such as "Three Whips", "Red Sorghum Model Team" and "New Year Greeting".
With the broadcast of these sketches, Fan Wei's reputation and fame also began to rise.
In 2001, Fan Wei, who had been starring in sketches for many years, finally ushered in a revolutionary turn.
That year, he partnered with Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin and performed the sketch "Selling Abduction" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
After the sketch "Selling Abduction" was broadcast, it exploded, and the silly chef performed by Fan Wei also exploded.
Overnight, everyone Chinese knew Fan Wei's name.
Later, with the success of a series of works, Fan Wei became a household name and became a golden partner with Zhao Benshan.
But it all stopped in 2005.
This year's sketch "Kung Fu" became the last work of Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, and Fan Wei has since withdrawn from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Fan Wei's choice was very unexpected, and the rumors about him and Zhao Benshan intensified.
Even the discord between the two was once put on the table, and Zhao Benshan once publicly mocked Fan Wei:
You see how big Fan Wei's wrist is now, and if people can come to act, it is equivalent to borrowing people's light.
So far, Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, a good pair, have not cooperated on the same stage for a long time.
For the departure that year, Fan Wei said frankly in an interview many years later:
The reason why he did not attend the Spring Festival Gala was that the pressure was too great and he had reached the limit, not because of a contradiction with Zhao Benshan.
And facts have also proved that leaving Zhao Benshan is the most correct choice for Fan Wei in this life.
Although Fan Wei's success is inseparable from Zhao Benshan's support, it also limits Fan Wei's development to a certain extent.
With Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei can only act in Northeast rural dramas such as "Liu Laogen", "Ma Dashuai" and "Country Love".
But after leaving Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei's drama path became wider and wider, and he became more and more open.
In the end, this sketch-born actor won many heavyweight awards in the film and television industry and became a veritable acting school.
3, 61 years old became popular again, Fan Wei has embarked on another road of actor.
As we all know, it is difficult for a comedian to rip off the label and become a real actor.
Guo Degang, the top in the crosstalk industry, said that crosstalk is the head and the way, but as soon as he acts, he makes people play.
Therefore, Fan Wei can achieve today's achievements, and it is not easy to go along the way.
In an interview with Lu Yu, Fan Wei once said:
I hope people forget the past and forget Fan Wei, who plays comedy.
So in order to get rid of his comedy impression in the audience's mind, Fan Wei began to fight for various roles, not caring about size.
Fan Wei took the initiative to fight for "July of the Car Watcher", and the director was not optimistic about him at first, after all, as long as he appeared the audience could not help laughing, and the serious style of this drama.
In order to satisfy the director, Fan Wei continued to ponder the script and roles, and finally got the director to approve it.
In order to play a good role, Fan Wei has also adhered to the most traditional way of acting.
That is, do not find shortcuts, do not be lazy, and do your best to interpret and express.
When filming "Aromatic Journey", in order to play the role of Lao Cui, Fan Wei handwrote more than 10,000 words of character notes in the early stage of figuring out the role.
I didn't eat a grain for three months of filming, just to get closer to the image of a "model worker".
In order to play the role of a vegetative person in the later stage, Fan Wei also went to the hospital to observe the state of the vegetative person.
When filming "Mobile Phone", Fan Wei, as a northeasterner, wanted to play a Henan worker.
In order to perform the feeling of Henan people, Fan Wei specially went to Zhengzhou, Henan, to talk with local villagers, and imitate word by word.
In the movie "Uninvited Guest", for a 20-second scene, Fan Wei slapped himself 17 times.
In "Railway Heroes", in order to better portray the characters, Fan Wei turned over the information, visited scholars, and spent a whole month studying the characters.
As director Xu Anhua commented, Fan Wei's performance was terrifyingly sincere.
However, such performances have not been equally rewarded, and the box office of these literary films is very dismal.
But Fan Wei was very indifferent, and for the sake of the artistic dream in his heart, he was willing to embark on this silent road.
It is worth congratulating that in the big dye vat of internal entertainment, Fan Wei has become a "traitor" in the pile of male actors, not hype, not perfunctory, rarely appears, and has been silently pondering his acting skills.
As he himself said:
I am especially willing to act in such a movie, even if the conditions are difficult, and there are no conditions in any way, as long as there are such characters, I will act.
It is precisely because of Fan Wei's persistence that he has been able to create countless wonderful characters in his acting career.
The honest foot therapist boss Fu Jixiang in "The Happiness of the Boss", and the railway mechanic Wang Kangmei in "Blessed Ears".
The old projectionist who sticks to his faith in "One Second", and the smiling undercover king who collects intelligence in "Railway Heroes".
In the movie "A Problem Not a Problem", Fan Wei contributed his classic screen role - Ding Wuyuan.
This farm director who wrote about Lao She's extremely deep and exquisite city government is vivid and full under Fan Wei's unobtrusive performance.
That scene of looking in the mirror and taking care of your clothes is still a classic that audiences talk about.
With this movie, Fan Wei defeated Leung Ka Fai, Xu Guanwen and Jacky Cheung to win the Golden Horse actor in one fell swoop.
And after becoming more and more popular, Fan Wei still insists on his choice and will never take bad dramas for money.
Compared with the popularity and box office of his works, he also pays more attention to whether the script and characters are good enough.
But compared with the stormy acting career, Fan Wei in life is introverted and low-key.
He rarely gives interviews, and rarely sees what variety shows and reality shows he goes on.
Love life is also very simple, and after entering the marriage hall with his wife in 1990, Fan Wei has always regarded his wife as the only one for so many years.
Even in the entertainment industry with great temptation, he has always been clean and sticking to the bottom line of marriage.
And the most rare thing is that unlike many old actors who act in bad dramas for money and make various eye-catching moves, Fan Wei puts all his thoughts on acting.
In recent years, Fan Wei has frequently appeared on the screen, contributing "Me and My Hometown", "Railway Heroes", "One Second" and other word-of-mouth masterpieces.
In an interview, Fan Wei was even more blunt in saying that the older he gets, the more he wants to try complex roles.
I have to say that compared with many old drama bones who have been content with the status quo, Fan Wei is a different kind of traitor.
He is not bound by age, but constantly challenges and breaks through himself, and embarks on another road of actor.
Qingshi also believes that 61-year-old Fan Wei has infinite possibilities in the future.
Let's look forward to this old actor, more and better works.
