Zhu Yilong is very similar to Tony Leung
Recently, the movie "Disappearing Her" starring Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni and Wen Yongshan is on the air, and as of today, the box office has exceeded the 3 billion mark.
The story of "Disappearing Her" is not new, the so-called nothing new under the sun, but a story of wealth and murder between a husband and wife.
However, the film was really popular, and the box office is the best example of this.
Many people say that this is all supported by the explosive acting skills of the male protagonist Zhu Yilong. Is this really the case?
I paid attention and went to see Zhu Yilong, thinking that I had made a major discovery: Zhu Yilong and Tony Leung looked alike.
I quickly went online and opened the search engine, intending to find two photos of the two of them put together to see, but as soon as I opened it, I found that the photos of the two people together were everywhere.
Haha, it turns out that I am not the only one who thinks they look alike.
Slow and slow! Are these two really alike?
Looking at this photo, would you still say Zhu Yilong and Tony Leung statues?
It's not like that, right?
So how did Zhu Yilong grow into what he is today?
01
Fulfilled my mother's dream of being an actor
Zhu Yilong is a little tail of the 80s, born in 1988, from Wuhan. He learned to play the piano since he was a child, he also likes to play basketball, and he has envisioned many careers for the future, but he has never thought about becoming an actor.
In the end, he became an actor, which fulfilled his mother's dream, and his mother wanted to be an actor before, but he didn't take it as such.
After getting married, Zhu Yilong was born, and Zhu's mother pinned her wish on her son.
In 2006, Zhu Yilong graduated from high school, and Zhu's mother suggested that her son go to film school.
The obedient and sensible Zhu Yilong went to the art examination training class for surprise training for three months, and then walked into Nortel's examination room to perform kendo.
Then in the middle of the performance, he fell, and he fell twice.
That year, Nortel enrolled 19.
Zhu Yilong looked incredulous when he got the admission notice, and he thought: Maybe this is the legendary luck?
This, this—this...
I made such a big embarrassment during the exam, is this the sky without eyes?
After enrolling, he asked the head teacher Cui Xinqin: Teacher, why did you recruit me?
Teacher Cui smiled kindly: Because you are a blank piece of paper, easy to teach. And my gut tells me that you have a lot of acting potential.
It was Mr. Cui's words that planted a seed of being an actor and a good actor in the young Zhu Yilong's heart.
Career may sometimes be the idea of parents, but do a line and love a line, Zhu Yilong did it.

Go home and practice
After entering the university, Zhu Yilong spoke with a strong Wuhan local voice, coupled with his introverted and social fearful nature, so that he could not liberate his nature no matter what, and in the acting class, he always felt that he was out of place and screwed badly.
Watching his classmates freely perform on the stage one by one, he looked frustrated and began to doubt that he was not this piece of material, and even began to doubt life.
So many candidates only recorded 19 people, and you can get in, which shows that you are very good. If it comes, it will be safe, and we will find a way to overcome difficulties when there are difficulties.
His mother's words made him suddenly cheerful.
If Mandarin is not good, then practice more; If there are many fearful people, then act more, and even play "hairy monkey" in class, jumping, shouting and shouting, desperately suppressing the fear in your heart, and a little, do not watch the audience's reaction, focus on yourself.
Immerse yourself fully in the performance, first make yourself happy without paying too much attention to the audience.
It was this little trick that supported Zhu Yilong through that difficult period.
And Zhu Yilong tries to find opportunities to film as much as possible, which can also be regarded as a desensitization treatment. By his junior year, he had become the most filmed person in his class, making dozens of digital movies, one in almost 10 days, and almost every role he tried.
When he graduated, he went to the digital film company, a small company, that had been asking him to make movies, and continued to shoot and continue acting.
This choice surprised many students in the class who were not as good as him, and many classmates advised him: your image is not bad, the performance is good, you should wait a little longer, see what big companies want you not.
But Zhu Yilong said: Everyone wants to enter a big company and shoot a big production, but every year there are so many new actors graduated, there are so many big productions, how many newcomers can have the opportunity to participate?
As a newcomer, it is important to practice, get more familiar with the role, and hone your acting skills. Small companies allow me to act every day, and I can act better than anything.
In this way, Zhu Yilong made a unique choice, waiting for opportunities while acting.
For ten years, he filmed almost every day, trying various roles over and over again.
During school, to enter a role, he needs to brew emotions for a long time, but after filming more, he can enter the role almost immediately as soon as he gets the script.
That's about 10,000 hours, but it's more than 10,000 hours.
In ten years, he made 21 TV series and 37 movies.
Through these works, Zhu Yilong obtained a special function: he can instantly enter the character!
It's such a god!

Go out and fight
The reporter asked him: Do you have ambitions?
Zhu Yilong replied frankly: Yes, I hope to leave a name in the history of Chinese film and TV series.
Go home and practice, and when you practice, go out to fight.
After graduation, Zhu Yilong lived in a small company for 10 years, accumulated 10 years of experience, and his acting skills have gradually improved, but in the show business, he still has not made any splashes.
At this time, Zhu Yilong was already 30 years old, but his acting career still did not improve, and in the dead of night, he would also doubt himself: Could it be that he really can't do it?
But soon, he stopped being skeptical and began to change tactics.
After ten years of practicing at home, now is the opportunity to go out and fight and try real kung fu!
In 2015, Zhu Yilong changed his strategy and began to run the crew, take the initiative to attack, and strive for his favorite roles.
He usually carefully reads the script and then looks for various materials to enrich his knowledge and understanding of the characters; Write a short biography of the character, to express his understanding of the role to the director, if there is no news after the audition, he will spend a day writing a text message to express his understanding and love for the character to the director.
In this way, he won roles in dramas such as "The Legend of Miyue", "New Border City Prodigal Son", "Flowers and Flowers Flying in the Sky" and so on.
In this way, Zhu Yilong also gradually attracted the attention of big names.
Soon he received an invitation from the director of "Town Soul" to play the male number one Shen Wei.
At the beginning of getting the script, Zhu Yilong saw that it was a magic drama, and thought it was also a bad drama, and when he finished reading the script, he found that the male protagonist was a particularly interesting character, and there were several identities in the play, which means that he had to play four roles at the same time.
It's interesting and challenging.
Zhu Yilong gladly starred.
It was this drama that made him popular out of the circle.
The victory of World War I, the broadcast of "Town Soul" is a milestone in Zhu Yilong's acting career. Since then, he has finally had a little say of his own.
After the fire, Zhu Yilong played the roles of Xiaoye Qi Heng in "Do You Know If It Should Be Green Fat, Red and Thin" and Lin Nansheng in "Rebel".
These roles are not the destinations he wants to go, but he still plays them naked, and after the TV series was broadcast, Zhu Yilong's popularity was expanded, and more audiences knew him.
In June 2021, "Rebel" was launched, and he made the movie "Life Events", and the "third brother" in this play finally won him the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
Winning a prize is not an end, but winning a prize is a proof. Zhu Yilong's 10 years of hard work has finally been recognized, and since then he no longer doubts himself, has become confident and determined, and is more solid towards his future.
After that, he starred in the movie "Mistake by the River".
Then he ushered in "Disappearing Her", and according to director Chen Sicheng, he was not the first choice. But after the audition, in the end he became the first choice.
There is a scene in the movie "Disappearing Her", in which He Fei takes a certain type of antipsychotic drug, causing his cheeks to shake involuntarily.
How did Zhu Yilong make this jitter?
He took a pen and put it near the apple muscle every day, repeatedly tried to use the muscles to push the tip of the pen to move, as long as he had time, he practiced like this, until one side of the face can be free to exert strength, shaking whenever he wants, just like fitness training muscles.
It was through this most stupid method that Zhu Yilong let his face shake at any time. However, the sequelae are that after the filming of the scene, occasionally the face will move uncontrollably.
Zhu Yilong finally proved to the world with this work that he is an idol powerhouse with double blessings at the box office and word of mouth.
In this way, Zhu Yilong moved towards his goal in his own way, and he walked firmly and without distractions.

Write at the end
Actor Hao Lei said: I don't think anyone is born to act, in fact, I am not a particularly talented actor, so I have to keep learning.
Zhu Yilong did exactly this, he kept practicing, practicing through the bad dramas of many people, to grow. In the end, he grew into what he is now, very much like Tony Leung.
Hao Lei said: The biggest honor will be my name in the performance textbook.
In the same way, Zhu Yilong also said a similar thing: I hope to leave my name in the history of Chinese film and Chinese television.
They are all ambitious people, they are all down-to-earth slow walkers.
Old people often say a saying: not afraid of slowness, afraid of breaking.
As long as you are steady step by step, no matter how far you go, you will eventually arrive one day.
There is ambition, there is a goal, there is a down-to-earth training, Zhu Yilong is not hot, who will be hot.
What do you think?
