"Grassroots" Dapeng finally won the actor, and the three "unsolved mysteries" on his body are time to solve

The closing ceremony of the Golden Goblet Award was awarded to the actor "Double Yellow Egg"!

Hu Ge and Dapeng won the Golden Goblet Award for their performances in "Worth the Trip" and "The Eighth Suspect" respectively.

As an ordinary audience, many people may not have imagined, why can Dapeng get the title of actor this time?

In our impression, Dapeng has always been an ordinary comedian, and although his "Pancake Man" and "Sewing Machine Band" are popular, there are still many flaws in the eyes of many people.

It is said that comedians starring in dramas is a dimensionality reduction blow, after the older generation of comedians such as Ge You, Fan Wei, and Zhao Benshan won the title of actor, but except for Zhang Xiaofei, many comedians have not won the honor of actor queen, including Shen Teng and Jia Ling.

No one expected that Dapeng would stand at the top of Chinese film acting as a comedian.

After so many years of transformation, Dapeng's acting skills have finally been recognized, which is the result of his silent cultivation, and it is also the result of his efforts to break his previous image and seek to transform from a comedian to a real actor.

Today we are all happy for Dapeng, and everyone may be a little more curious about Dapeng.

Recently, as a special invited media, Tomato Jun was fortunate to participate in the press conference of the "The Eighth Suspect" film festival.

At the press conference, director Li Zijun, starring Dapeng, Lin Jiadong, Sun Yang and others all attended, and the creators not only introduced the problems of the filming process of "The Eighth Suspect", but also picked up many interesting little things.

One of the most attractive in the spotlight is Dapeng.

At the press conference, Dapeng answered a lot of questions about his role "Chen Xinwen", and even when talking about the beginning of filming and the weight loss process, he once showed his true feelings, which made Tomato Jun can't help but have a strong interest in Dapeng's entire career.

In fact, throughout the 20 years since Dapeng became popular, he has always been accompanied by various controversies. Some say he is gifted, others say he is hypocritical and contrived; Some people say that his acting skills explode, some say that he relies on relationships to rise to the top...

Every time Dapeng is mentioned, there are always endless topics, and with the honor of Dapeng finally winning the actor, Tomato Jun may wish to put the public's controversy over Dapeng on the table - it is also time to solve the three "unsolved mysteries" on him.

First, "grandstanding" or "real material"?

In 2011, German TV broadcast an online drama called "Bomb Girl", which is in the form of a sketch that completely subverts the role positioning of traditional women.

There are many "large-scale" funny scenes in the play, which are loved by audiences all over the world.

When "Bomb Girl" was broadcast, Dapeng, who was still called Dong Chengpeng at that time, had already become a famous host by relying on the first talk show "Dapeng Boom" on the Chinese Internet.

Being a host is not Dapeng's life goal, his dream when he was a child was to form a band. But it backfired, and after transforming into a Beipiao family, Dapeng encountered the opportunity to be this "Dapeng Boom".

This also allowed Dapeng to brand himself the first label of life "host".

At that time, China's Internet was just emerging, and the media industry was in a blue ocean.

Dapeng saw "Bomb Girl" by chance, he had a wit and had the idea of making a Chinese version in his heart, and it didn't take long for this well-known online drama to come out.

This drama not only changed the ecology of Internet online dramas, but also pushed Dapeng, a host who was unknown at the time, to an unprecedented height.

This drama adopts the operation method of "Bomb Girl", focusing on nonsensical sitcoms, and quickly became popular in the Internet circle with some brain-opening methods.

Although the drama has an excellent broadcast effect, Dapeng has also been labeled as "rubbing edges" and "engaging in gimmicks".

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, which is also one of the sources of controversy on Dapeng.

But in fact, from the current perspective, in this drama, some of Dapeng's talents have gradually emerged.

And this is the real material that prompted him to embark on the path of actor, director and even producer in the future.

First of all, the whole drama has an excellent network feel, although some jokes are Internet hot memes, but it is undeniable that Dapeng uses its talents to make them the most widely spread.

Qiao Shan, is Dapeng single-handedly popular, up to now 16 years later, mention Qiao Shan, everyone will still think of his wonderful performance in the play.

Secondly, although it is an online drama, the performances of Dapeng and other actors in the play are not ambiguous at all.

This is also the reason why the public can immerse themselves in such nonsensical comedy and be brought in.

Finally, I have to admire Dapeng's vision, and now half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry have almost all appeared in this online drama.

For example, Shen Teng 11 years ago, when many people did not know him.

For example, Sun Li and Deng Chao, who have just become famous.

For example, Jia Ling, who was not a 5 billion female director at that time,

Another example is today's Xiaohua sister Yang Mi.

There are also Lin Zhiling, Han Geng, Han Han, Bai Baihe, Tengger, Article, Wu Qilong, Tang Wei, Song Xiaobao, Pan Binlong...

If you look closely, you will find that these people were actually not very famous at that time, but in the following period, they all produced phenomenal effects in the entertainment industry.

On the one hand, it is the result of the stars' own efforts, and on the other hand, I have to admire Dapeng's vision.

We can say that compared with the evaluation of "grandstanding", Dapeng's "real material" is obviously more.

This online drama made Dapeng completely popular and became an opportunity for him to enter the movie in the future.

Because there is a chain of contempt between online dramas and movies, the reason why Dapeng filmed "Pancake Man" is because once, he was ridiculed by the producer that "what is filmed cannot be on the table".

And this view is also the mustard that most people who are prejudiced against Dapeng have always had in their hearts.

After moving to the big screen, Dapeng's talent was completely released, and we seemed to see the birth of an excellent actor, but the second mystery in him also emerged.

Second, "show" or "dedication"?

At the press conference of "The Eighth Suspect", Tomato Jun asked Dapeng a question: What kind of weight gain and weight loss is used to shape the character in the movie?

Speaking of this question, Dapeng's answer is sincere on the one hand, and true feelings on the other hand.

Dapeng mentioned that in order to shape the role of Chen Xinwen in the film to the best, he discussed with the director and screenwriter teacher for a long time.

It was finally confirmed that Chen Xinwen when he was young, because he was full of spirit and boss, should be fat and white; And 21 years later, Chen Xinwen, because he has been exiled to a foreign land to avoid pursuit, should be in rags and relatively thin.

So, Dapeng began to gain weight and lose weight like crazy.

When the film started, he needed to gain 20 pounds in a very short time, because he shot the scenes when he was young first, so two months before the start-up, Dapeng began to gain weight madly, and in just two months, he gained 20 pounds.

In his own words: there is so much meat on his stomach that he can't sit down.

Then filming older scenes, he had to start losing weight again.

In order to make time for his weight loss, the director began to shoot Lin Jiadong's scene after May, and Dapeng used the 43 days in the middle to lose 30 pounds and return to a leaner look than before he started shooting.

During weight loss, he does not eat tasteful things, basically white water chicken breast and boiled vegetables, exercise four times a day, twice aerobic and two anaerobic times.

After listening to this, we marveled at Dapeng's self-discipline.

When he first wanted to express his gratitude to the director and screenwriter, what Tomato Jun felt deeper was his respect for the profession of an actor and the character itself.

Dapeng speaks very approachably, not cold at all, and said that the experience is also eloquent, compared with other stars that Tomato Jun has come into contact with, it is both close to the people and down-to-earth.

Moreover, he constantly said that if it were not for my question, he would not have said it, because it is "what an actor should do".

In and out of words, the quality of dedication is revealed.

In fact, many people question Dapeng's "show" because he once spent a piece in "The Beneficiary".

When the film was promoted, a special feature of "Wild Dapeng" was released, in which Dapeng walked through the most prosperous streets of Chongqing with makeup, and no one knew him.

He even took a bowl to beg and sang with street singers, and no one recognized him.

Some people question, what is this not a "show"?

In fact, Dapeng did this on the one hand to test the effect of his makeup, and on the other hand, to completely integrate into the role of "Wu Hai" itself.

Because Wu Hai is a bottom, single father struggling to survive, walking through the streets like a beggar, which is also his daily life.

In fact, in the process of transforming from host, director, and then to powerful actors, Dapeng is constantly breaking through himself and refining his acting skills.

Behavior can be "show", but acting skills cannot deceive people.

His Wang Gongdao is the first very outstanding role.

From a young prosecutor to a court president, Dapeng has shaped the royal justice of the span of ten years.

Especially at the end of the film, when Wang Gongdao patted the heroine's back and said: Big cousin, let's go home.

At this moment, the overlap of good and ugly, the contradictions of human nature and the complexity of stories, are all reflected in the character of Wang Gongdao.

Over the years, whether it is "Sewing Machine Band" or "Beneficiary", whether it is "Nameless" or this "The Eighth Suspect", Dapeng's acting skills are obvious to all.

Playing "Double Detective", Duan Yihong praised him as "every second is a play".

Acting in the last crying scene of "Keep You Safe", netizens praised Dapeng is talented, and his acting skills are getting better and better.

In "The Eighth Suspect" this time, Tomato Jun was even more shocked by Dapeng's acting skills.

Being able to compete with actors such as Lin Jiadong and Zhang Songwen on the big screen has actually proved that the industry recognizes Dapeng's acting skills.

In terms of refining his acting skills, Dapeng has no need to make a show; And in his bones, Dapeng's cherishing and dedication to the profession of actor, we can all see it.

Third, "scheming" or "sincerity"?

For a long time, there have been many controversial points in Dapeng.

There are two that are most widely mentioned.

The first is his ten-year grudge with Da Zhang Wei.

Dapeng apologized to Da Zhang Wei for 7 consecutive years, but Da Zhang Wei did not buy it, and this grudge should start with an interview.

In the early years, when Da Zhang Wei had just flown solo, he came to Dapeng's program to do a propaganda interview, during which Da Zhang Wei did not perform well, frequently made strange small movements, and did not answer Dapeng's questions intermittently "deaf", which made the young and vigorous Dapeng very dissatisfied.

He felt that this was Da Zhang Wei disrespecting himself, and then left angrily.

Originally, the matter ended there, but afterwards, the scheming person edited these clips into a video, accompanied by an extremely misleading text, questioning Da Zhang Wei.

There were many disputes in the outside world, and this incident almost led to the end of Zhang Wei's career.

As the incident continued to deteriorate, Da Zhang Wei and Dapeng fell into the whirlpool of public opinion together.

All kinds of rumors poured in, which made Da Zhang Wei always lingering, and he could not forgive Dapeng for so many years.

What the truth of this matter is, no one knows yet, but this seems to have become a "stain" on Dapeng's career, and he has been labeled as "scheming".

Although both later expressed grievances and said that this was a public misunderstanding.

But this label has always accompanied Dapeng, and whenever he appears in front of the camera, someone always mentions this matter and uses it to attack.

The second thing is Dapeng's standing for Guo Jingming in "Actors Please Take Position".

This matter is not a small controversy, and everyone knows it.

Dapeng himself is a host, and he was also invited as the host of "Actors Please Take Position".

In the second program, after Guo Jingming issued the highly controversial S card, Li Chengru and Chen Kaige couldn't stand it.

Everyone was looking forward to Dapeng's mediation as the host, but they didn't expect Dapeng to directly show his views, saying that he stood for Guo Jingming and saying that everyone came from a young age.

After listening to Dapeng's words, Guo Jingming was happy, but Li Chengru had a black face.

But the public opinion orientation of the whole thing is biased towards Li Chengru, believing that Guo Jingming's S card is indeed problematic.

As the host, he did not mediate the contradictions between the guests, which also made the public question that Dapeng was using this "hype" and was quite "scheming".

Such an operation even led the audience to have stereotypes and views on "Actors Please Take Position".

Today, these things have passed, and looking back, you may be able to see the essence of each event.

The grudge between Dapeng and Da Zhang Wei is not clear now, just like many "unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry".

But the public sympathizes with the weak side, so public opinion is oriented towards Zhang Wei, and Dapeng has also suffered a lot of "Internet violence" because of this.

In "Actors Please Take Position", because Dapeng himself is a stand-up comedy, and the biggest feature of stand-up comedy is the blessing of views.

So in the show, he habitually outputs himself and directly expresses his views, which proves that Dapeng has the same attributes as Li Chengru, and he dares to show his heart in the face of the camera.

Of course, whether this is "scheming" or "sincerity" is a matter of opinion.

And the essence of Dapeng being said to be "scheming" and "smooth" is actually his very embarrassing positioning and situation in the entire entertainment industry.

As a rare "entertainment industry all-rounder", Dapeng has small achievements in various fields, he is an actor, director, host, he can invite a vote of entertainment industry bigwigs, and can also express his heart unscrupulously in the program.

But as a public figure who came from a grassroots background and eventually rose to the top of the entertainment industry, Dapeng has never been able to integrate into these two groups.

People at the top of the pyramid have their own sense of superiority, and in the face of Dapeng, who is born in "comedy", they will scoff: are you worthy of our circle with grassroots like you?

People at the bottom of the pyramid will question his path to success: not by resources and grandstanding, by sleek mental traffic, I am not not impossible, but disdainful.

Dapeng once mentioned this in an interview, and he believes that he carries a "theory of original sin".

Any circle seems to have a specific scale, and itself wanders outside the scale.

This makes his every word and deed, in any dimension, not accepted.

In essence, he is unable to change his origin, but he is eager to get rid of his own label, and the two things are themselves contradictory.

In the interview, Dapeng once said that he became famous because of luck.

And this passage without any ambiguity, in our opinion, there is an inexplicable sense of superiority and ostentation.

Behind this feeling is that he has completed the leap from the bottom, which inevitably represents a betrayal of the grassroots.

At that time, Dapeng obviously could not help himself, and he lacked a synaesthesia that connected with the grassroots, resulting in his behavior in front of the camera being easily misunderstood.

Just like in "Sewing Machine Band", he temporarily added his kiss scene with Naza to the script.

By the time of the official shooting, nine shots were taken, and before the shooting, Dapeng was very excited,

After that, not only smiled, but also three years later, he specially sent a state to commemorate the third anniversary of kissing the character played by Naza.

From the perspective of ordinary people, if we can kiss with Guli Naza, our excitement is definitely no less than that of Dapeng; But from Dapeng's point of view, such an operation not only seems contrived, but also a little greasy.

The awkwardness in this comes from Dapeng, which not only carries the dazzling aura of the star class, but also has a disdain for the self under the halo.

But in the past two years, Dapeng has been much better.

He began to face up to the separation between his self-positioning and the audience's impression, slowly got out of the confusion and screwing between his star identity and the underlying contradictions, and became a transparent person.

From his eyes, he couldn't see the cunning of the nouveau riche before, but he showed the sincerity of Wang Baoqiang.

The scene of the press conference of "The Eighth Suspect" is like this, and it is also the same in his own filming of "Auspicious Ruyi".

"Auspicious Ruyi" is not so much a sincere movie, but rather, it is Dapeng's work to recover its original heart.

That grassroots Dapeng, and the director Dapeng in front of the camera, have thus become connected.

The encapsulation in his heart was cut open, the third uncle walked and walked into the theater, and Dapeng finally exposed his deep inferiority, reality, and ugliness to the audience.

Facing your true self is also the beginning of Dapeng's thorough growth, becoming sincere, and liking itself.

People always have to experience growth, and the unspeakable past of the youth period will always pass.

Tomato Jun predicted that in the future, we will definitely see a more comfortable Dapeng appear in front of the public.

This may be the real beginning of Dapeng's career.
