On May 28, the box office of the movie "Life is Unfamiliar" released on May 1st exceeded 1 billion.
In addition to breaking the cumulative box office record of the May 1st comedy in Chinese film history, the number of 1 billion also has extraordinary significance for Fan Chengcheng, who debuted as an idol as one of the film's leading actors - he has become a film actor with a box office masterpiece of 1 billion.
Back in 2018, the little crying bao Fan Chengcheng who forgot his words on the first stage and did not hold back his tears in front of the camera is still vividly remembered.
At that time, the program group asked him: "Why do you want to prove yourself in a hurry?" He sobbed and replied, "Since junior high school, I realized that it is no longer the age to play, and I will always have to grow up faster than others and do better than the people around me." ”
At that time, Fan Chengcheng lived under the aura of his sister Fan Bingbing, and no matter where he went, there were people who envied his background and origin.
If you ask the audience at that time and him, Fan Chengcheng's appearance five years later, the actor, is probably just a vague expectation.
Five years later, from idol to actor, from singer to variety artist, 23-year-old Fan Chengcheng is becoming a new sample of the entertainment industry. Whether it is the vision of selecting works or the attitude of going on variety shows, it seems that it is quite good.
Look, that variety show conspicuous bag
I have to admit that going on variety shows and doing reality shows also requires artists to have some metaphysics on the body, and the official term is called adaptation. Fan Chengcheng has, and the current situation is that even three-year-old children will imitate his sentence: Zhou Shen, mother loves you.
Yes, Fan Chengcheng, who used to stay in the funny scene of variety shows because of his bones, recently got a new nickname - variety show conspicuous bag because of his funny performance in the resident variety show "Let's Run".
"Personal battle, how can I explain to you what personal battle is." If you've been following Run Lately, you've probably started laughing when you read it.
Fan Orange began to like Fan Chengcheng when "Idol Trainee" was broadcast in 2018, in her opinion, Fan Chengcheng at that time and Fan Chengcheng now are completely different. "The show itself is a cultivated group portrait, according to reason, with his topicality and attention, there should be many shots, but on the contrary, in addition to the stage, it is difficult for fans to see him in the camera most of the time, and can only pick people in the corners of the material."
Time flashed back to five years ago, due to external public opinion and the failure of the initial stage, most of the time, Fan Chengcheng rarely showed himself in front of the camera, and even avoided the camera somewhat.
Most audiences should have the same impression of him as KK at that time: Fan Bingbing's younger brother who was a little cold, a little shy, and forgot words on the first stage.
"He's actually quite pleasant. I turned a fan of him because there was a ranking announcement in the draft, he had red hair, stretched his neck and shouted 'hehe, boss' to Cai Xukun who was walking towards the stage, he was humble and cute, and he poked me at once. It's just that at that time, public opinion was not very friendly to him, everyone was looking at him with a mocking mood, and if he did not do well, he would be ridiculed by thousands of people if he did not do well, and no one except fans thought he was cute and pitiful. "Fan CC recalled the moment when she liked him during the game, and the picture is still very clear and vivid.
Time has passed, and now Fan Chengcheng has long let go of himself, not only talking too much but also daring to perform, and even because of some famous scenes full of variety show sense was called "internal entertainment Lee Kwang-so" by the audience, reversing the popularity and wind reviews that were not good in the past, and also changed back to the audience: It is indeed quite pleasing.
In the third issue of the eleventh season of "Let's Run", due to the coincidence of the game setting, the guests questioned the control of the program group, and when the atmosphere between the two sides dropped to freezing point, Fan Chengcheng's sentence "I told Director Yao to let him not do this" instantly eased the atmosphere.
If funny requires talent, emotional intelligence reflects ability. In him, sometimes naïve, sometimes mature, and somewhat intelligent not to offend others.
"If idou works hard enough, fans don't have to worry about it at all. Seeing that he works so variety shows every day, he has now become a 'conspicuous bag' in everyone's mouth, and he is very happy for him, and he finally worked hard. ”
Handsome and sinking, which is extremely rare in the field of variety shows and even the entire film and television industry. Come to think of it, this is also an important reason why in the past two years, Fan Chengcheng has turned over the passers-by and public opinion.
The actor of "gray head" - Fan Chengcheng
Fan Chengcheng is very busy.
From the indoor variety show "The Man Who Does Housework", "Hi Fangpai" and "Trend Partner" to the outdoor variety show "Run", Fan Chengcheng has almost experienced all kinds of program guests.
During this period, the two dramas "Fatal Wish" and "Forgotten Time" have been broadcast successively, from members of the mysterious organization to the chef who is bumpy on the roadside, and the role of Yang Cheng, who has attracted much attention in the work to be broadcast, "Zeng Youth", focusing on a diversity attempt?!
In terms of movies, in addition to "Life is Unfamiliar" that broke 1 billion, there are also two films, "Door Lock" and "Great Night", the former is not heavy, and the suspense style is walking; The latter is a thriller comedy. In addition, there is a crime-themed "Sweeping the Black, Sweeping the Clouds and Seeing the Day", to be released.
According to lighthouse data, up to now, the cumulative box office of the three released films in which Fan Chengcheng has participated / starred corresponds respectively: 242 million / 46.98 million / 1.031 billion.
Under such high exposure, the commercial value will naturally keep pace. According to statistics, since his debut, Fan Chengcheng's spokesperson title has maintained more than 10 every year, and the results have been much higher than most of the former group members who debuted in the same period.
Busy is really busy, but is it busy making a name for itself? A hot knowledge is the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, which is movie actors> TV series actors> online drama actors> others and so on. Therefore, KK took his film road as an example to try to answer the question of why Fan Chengcheng was starring from "Idol Trainee" to a 1 billion box office movie.
On November 19, 2021, Fan Chengcheng's movie "Door Lock" with Bai Baihe and Bai Ke was released. In the film, he plays Xiao Wu, a security guard who secretly loves the heroine played by Bai Baihe, a supporting role with few scenes, which is also Fan Chengcheng's first experience on the big screen.
In the end, "Door Lock" accumulated a box office of 242 million, and the Douban score was fixed at 4.3 points. Putting aside the evaluation of the movie itself, how did Fan Chengcheng perform on his big screen debut? KK's answer is: not crotch-pulling.
In the film, the identity of Xiao Wu, a security guard played by Fan Chengcheng, is one of the main suspense. As early as in the trailer, Fan Chengcheng with a shot of his feet reaching the door and several eyes that are both positive and evil, caused the audience to speculate about whether he is a good person or a pervert, and the whole film looks down, a "perverted Xiao Wu" who walks between light and dark is quite complete.
Challenging comedy is Fan Chengcheng's next goal after "Door Lock". Two years later, in 2023, the thriller comedy "Great Night" and the family comedy "Life is Unfamiliar" will be released successively. To some extent, these two films are the key to really testing whether Fan Chengcheng's traffic and acting skills are resistant.
Two comedies in a row, it can be regarded as making him live enough of the comedian's addiction, and he seems to be much luckier than most actors in the circle when he makes a wish.
It's just that can he catch this luck?
"It was long after the movie started that I could see which character was Fan Chengcheng." It was KK who heard the most comments on the scene after watching the premiere of "Great Night", and KK also felt the same way.
As we all know, in domestic entertainment to do love beans, beauty and handsome is far more important than singing and dancing strength of hard conditions, in other words, people who can be love beans must be handsome or beautiful with a certain degree of recognition.
But being an actor is a completely different set of standards - everything serves the play and the role. Outstanding handsomeness and beauty mean that for the actor, more energy needs to be spent so that the audience can see the charm of the character through the actor himself.
It's not easy.
In "The Great Night", Fan Chengcheng played the leopard brother - a middle-aged greasy man with no delicate makeup and hair, no body management, a beard and a bandit mixture with his father's taste.
From the external intuitive impact, between Brother Leopard and the familiar Fan Chengcheng, the main contrast is a strong contrast.
According to the interview, for the role of Brother Leopard, Fan Chengcheng gained 30 pounds and grew a beard, if you don't know him, you should not see that he was originally a draft idol.
The film's director Ma Kai said in an interview: "I don't believe that Fan Chengcheng is just a post-00 generation, he throws off the baggage, and the attitude of sacrificing his image for the play is like an old actor." ”
At the premiere, Yi Xiaoxing, who was originally apprehensive about choosing Fan Chengcheng to play the role, also generously admitted: after watching Fan Chengcheng's performance in "Great Night", he re-recognized him and believed in his determination and sincerity as an actor, so he continued to cooperate on "Life is Unfamiliar".
Indeed, at least from "The Great Night", it can be seen that "Love Dou Fan Chengcheng" is demanding himself by the standard of "actor Fan Chengcheng".
Movies or TV series, the same actor has different lives?
The movie ball thrown by fate, so far, it seems that Fan Chengcheng has caught it.
If Xiao Wu is throwing stones to ask for directions, and Brother Leopard is casting names, then the stupid cute programmer Wan Yifan in the movie "Life is Not Familiar" by partner Qiao Shan and Ma Li is Fan Chengcheng who began to find the track of his movie life.
First, in KK's view, in case Fan is closer to the real Fan Chengcheng than several previous roles, this time, the audience interacted with the character of this person's "humble" and "unlucky egg" temperament shown in the variety show, which in turn increased the persuasiveness of the character; Second, the partner Qiao Shan, Ma Li and other comedy predecessors have achieved the effect of 1+1>2, and the box office champion of May 1st and more than 1 billion box office is the best illustration.
"Be yourself" and "play a role that is closer to yourself", KK privately believes that this is an important step for young actors to enter the performance. The reason is simple, there is no baggage, the performance is naturally relaxed, after omitting the process of persuading yourself, the rest is to convince the audience with the performance.
In the third part of the film, Fan Chengcheng completed his first stage of turning from an idol to an actor.
Being an actor requires talent, but in addition to talent, I have to admit that Fan Chengcheng and his team are smart, and KK refers to the role selection and cooperation team in several movies. In the long run, the script, the right roles, and the team that can help the actors grow and progress must be much more important than whether they are male and female protagonists and positions.
Characters such as Wan Yifan are the most suitable roles that can be harnessed within the current ability of Fan Chengcheng - both contrasting and relatively safe, and will not get out of control.
From supporting roles to group portraits, and then with the exclusive protagonist arc light of Wan Yifan, Fan Chengcheng's film road is picking up the ladder. Judging from the results, this strategy to break into the big screen has indeed begun to bear fruit.
As for why the TV series has little effect? KK also tried to draw some conclusions. His current episodes (aired) are: "Spirit Domain", 36 episodes. costume drama, partner Cheng Xiao, etc.; "Fatal Wish", 12 episodes, suspense theme, partners Feng Shaofeng, Wen Qi, etc.; "Forgotten Time", 34 episodes, urban plot, partner Lan Yingying, etc.
Qin Lie in "Spirit Domain" is Fan Chengcheng's actor debut, and the male and female protagonists are both Lehua's people. At that time, the barrage and the Douban comment area were polarized: fans praised, passers-by reprimanded the two with wooden expressions, like facial paralysis. Objectively speaking, it is indeed not very good; "Fatal Wish", placed in the iQiyi Misty Theater, a horizontal comparison, the final is Douban 3.9, the audience scolded, but the scolding plot is more; to "Forgotten Time", there is a view of Fan Chengcheng's attitude and progress in acting skills, as for failing to set off attention and recognition, whether a project is out of the circle is determined by the superposition of multiple dimensions.
To sum up, if Fan Chengcheng's smoothness in the film is positively correlated with the team's casting team, then his relative decline in the series is also the same. (PS: It should be emphasized that Fan Chengcheng himself is also a member of the team)
Qin Lie, Qiu Wendong, Lu Xiaofan, all have different themes and different roles, and it is certainly right to try more, but they are all quite different from Fan Chengcheng himself, which requires actors to use more acting experience, life experience and other creative teams to control the role.
As an actor, what is valuable is that there is no shortage of attitude and hard work Fan Chengcheng, compared to the dramas that have been broadcast, KK thinks that the upcoming "Long Love", "Zeng Youth" and "Left Shoulder with You" may have more hope to consolidate actor Fan Chengcheng's performance on the series.
Staying the same is sometimes harder than changing
In the complex environment of the entertainment industry, "matching words with deeds" is easier said than done. From idols to singers, from variety shows to actors to icons, it seems that Fan Chengcheng's growth path may be a sample worth considering.
If there is any character in the entertainment industry that is not easy to overturn, it is probably the character that is as close to the "self" as possible. After all, it's easy to be yourself, but it's hard to pretend to be another person for a long time.
Kernel unity is a rare attribute of Fan Chengcheng as a public figure. If Fan Chengcheng's interpretation career is regarded as a big tree, music, variety shows, performances, and fashion are scattered branches in all directions, seemingly independent, but the branches must always be connected to the big tree and are inseparable.
Chen Weiting once said when talking about his impression of Fan Chengcheng in "Trend Partners" that when the show found him, his first request was whether he could find Fan Chengcheng, he felt that Chengcheng was a very real person, "There are not many boys in this circle who hold this traffic now, but there are almost few who can let go of the burden of idols, he is one." I know he's been stressed over the past two years, but he hasn't shown any negative emotions at all, so I think he's going to just pick up the better. ”
People born with novel scripts in the entertainment industry abound, but how far they can go, whether to stay in Rome or stay away, ultimately depends on themselves. Being able to recognize your heart and find your own script after a thousand sails may be the ultimate task for those born in Rome.
At that time, the program group of "Even Practice" asked Cheng Cheng: "Why did you choose (entering the entertainment industry) trainees to prove yourself?" Fan Chengcheng also used his achievements in the past five years to prove the naïve but sincere answer, "Because I like it." ”
