Fan Wei won the Korean TV Emperor, and at the age of 61, his acting skills have been perfected
Fan Wei can be described as a living map of the mainland entertainment industry, from the TV screen to the big screen, from comedy to drama, his RFFI footprints are all over the place. Especially in recent years, Fan Wei, who has entered the age of sixtieth year, has become more and more exciting in his acting skills, and has repeatedly reached new heights, which is impressive.
Not long ago, 61-year-old Fan Wei won the "Best Actor" award at the 18th Seoul International TV Drama Awards with his outstanding performance in the Korean TV series "The Long Season", realizing a leapfrog evolution from domestic to international.
This not only represents that Fan Wei has successfully opened up his international popularity, but also shows that the peak of his acting skills has not yet arrived.
In fact, for Fan Wei and his acting skills, the words "old and strong" are very appropriate. Unlike male actors of the same age, who mostly choose to play old roles, Fan Wei switches between different roles as he likes.
He can interpret a warm man or a villain; He can laugh and curse in comedy, or he can cry bitterly in tragedy. In the face of different roles, Fan Wei can devote himself to it and give it a soul, which just proves that he has long been beyond the identity of an actor, but the embodiment of life.
The reason why Fan Wei can continue to break through himself and innovate in acting is his love and awe of acting. In his eyes, each character is a unique life individual, worthy of being injected into the soul by surging emotions.
Because of this, we can see Fan Wei's abundant performance emotions and shocking acting skills on the screen.
The 61-year-old Fan Wei has already surpassed his peers and become an outlier in the film and television industry. And South Korea's TV Emperor is undoubtedly a new starting point for his acting journey. Let's wait and see, the next peak of his acting skills will bring us what shocks and surprises will be brought to us.
In the 2005 Spring Festival Gala, Gao Xiumin revealed that it may have something to do with money
In the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan cooperated in the popular sketch "Kung Fu", and the cooperation between the two was seamless, and the laughter came one after another.
No one expected that they would cooperate perfectly after that, but they gradually drifted apart after that, and finally announced the dissolution of the 10-year partnership.
While there was a lot of speculation from the outside world, Gao Xiumin, who had worked with the two, revealed that it may have something to do with money. According to Gao Xiumin, once the three of them went to Sichuan for seven performances, and Zhao Benshan received a remuneration of 420,000 yuan.
But he only gave Fan Wei 7,000 yuan, causing Fan Wei to feel neglected.
Indeed, as a sketch partner, Zhao Benshan captured most of the laughs and flashes, which is crucial to his status. But we can't deny that Fan Wei's role in it, his reaction and cooperation are indispensable.
A good partnership requires equality and respect for the status of both people. Otherwise, cracks will inevitably arise in the cooperation.
However, we must also see that as the leader of the sketch group, Zhao Benshan has a responsibility, and he needs to maintain the operation of the entire team. There are his own difficulties and helplessness, and we need to understand and tolerate them.
The real reason for the breakup between the two is probably not a simple matter of money, and we need to look at it carefully.
But in any case, the 10-year tacit cooperation has become a good story on the road of the two acting. We can only reminisce about those glorious years with gratitude and regret, and hope that they will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Fan Wei grew up and was misled by his parents to embark on the road of cross talk
Speaking of Fan Wei's growth experience, it is very ups and downs. He was originally passionate about acting, but he was led to the road of cross talk by his parents' misunderstanding.
Fan Wei is shy and introverted by nature, and in order to open his heart, his parents asked Fan Wei to learn many specialties Xi, but they all failed. Until a teacher pointed out that Fan Wei was talented in storytelling and acting, and should become an actor.
Fan Wei's parents misunderstood the teacher's meaning, thinking that Fan Wei was suitable for cross talk. So when Fan Wei was 16 years old, he was sent to the Shenyang Quyi Troupe to learn Xi cross talk.
At first, Fan Wei, who didn't know anything about acting, was really difficult to gain a foothold in the cross talk world. But under the careful guidance of the teacher, he gradually discovered that his interests and talents were hidden in cross talk.
Through Xi hard work, Fan Wei has transformed from a newcomer to a new star of cross talk five years later, and his work "Diary of a Factory Director" made him enter the Shenyang Quyi Troupe in one fell swoop and began to emerge in the Northeast.
Young and frivolous, he is no longer the shy teenager he was back then, but has been replaced by an infinite passion and creative desire for the art of cross talk. He is diligent in writing and has created a large number of jokes.
Those jokes, whether satirical or emotional, all come from his delicate observation of life and human nature, and have become an important force that promotes his fame in the cross talk industry.
Life's circumstances are often unbelievable. Fan Wei was mistakenly pushed onto this road, but he found his own wonderful life in it. The road of cross talk watered by passion and sweat has become the starting point of his performance road.
It also laid a solid foundation for him to shine on a broader stage in the future.
In 1995, he began to partner with Zhao Benshan and gradually transformed into a sketch actor
In the winter of 1995, 33-year-old Fan Wei finally ushered in the first Spring Festival Gala stage in his life. In this year's Spring Festival Gala, he partnered with Zhao Benshan and performed the popular sketch "Uncle Niu Tigan", which won the second prize in the sketch category in one fell swoop.
This is the starting point for Fan Wei to conquer a bigger stage. As one of Zhao Benshan's partners, Fan Wei gradually moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and was able to show his skills on a huge stage like the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Although he was still performing with Zhao Benshan's rhythm at that time, and most of the jokes and baggage came from Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei's reaction also added a lot to the sketch.
It can be said that it is on the cusp of Zhao Benshan that Fan Wei has gradually accumulated popularity. From the initial unknown, to sketches such as "Selling Abduction" and "Selling Cars" made him a household name.
As Zhao Benshan's right-hand man, Fan Wei gradually transformed into a new star on the comedy stage.
Although he has never been able to completely break through Zhao Benshan's aura, his partner with Zhao Benshan has achieved a new Fan Wei. He gradually transformed from a cross talk actor to a sketch actor in the eyes of the audience, which laid a solid foundation for him to shine in the field of film and television dramas.
Sometimes life's opportunities come in a way that is ridiculous and incredible. Fan Wei originally wanted to be a serious actor, but he became a comedian because of various encounters. But it was this seemingly absurd experience that allowed him to accumulate acting experience, sharpen his acting skills, and save enough energy to shine in the film and television drama industry in the future.
After being the actor in 2004, Fan Wei was determined to develop in the direction of a drama actor
2004 can be said to be an important turning point in Fan Wei's life. In this year, the 42-year-old Fan Wei starred in the movie "July of the Car Watcher" and won the actor award for this film.
This is like opening another door to his acting career, and it also ignites his determination to realize his dreams.
The movie "July of the Car Watcher" tells the story of an ordinary car watcher. In order to create this role, Fan Wei not only lost 20 pounds, but also made a long observation of the little people in life, and finally created a three-dimensional character image.
In the end, he became one with the character and interpreted the sorrow of an ordinary person to the heartbreak.
When the actor trophy was held in his hand, Fan Wei suddenly brightened. It turns out that his dream is not to be a cross talk actor or sketch actor for a lifetime, but to play ordinary people with different destinies, so that more audiences can see the living conditions at the bottom of society.
This successful attempt strengthened his determination to realize his dream.
So, at the 2005 Spring Festival Gala, after cooperating with Zhao Benshan in the last sketch, Fan Wei withdrew from the big stage. Since then, he has continued to try different roles, expand his acting path, and go all out in the direction of a full-fledged actor.
He is no longer limited to the field of comedy, but hopes to play a more colorful life.
42-year-old Fan Wei finally mustered up the courage to follow his inner voice. He chose to let his footsteps stay on a broader journey, and strive to achieve his dream of becoming a good film actor.
Inspired by the Best Actor Award, he set off across mountains and headed for the next peak of his acting skills.
Fan Wei continues to break through himself, and his acting skills are becoming more and more perfect
After withdrawing from the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, Fan Wei began his acting journey of self-breakthrough and exploration. He is no longer limited to the field of comedy, but takes the initiative to contact film and television works of various themes to expand his own acting path.
In the challenges again and again, Fan Wei's acting skills have become more and more perfect.
For example, in the 2006 movie "Aromatic Journey", Fan Wei played a laid-off old driver "Lao Cui". In order to portray the image of this model worker hero, he lost 20 pounds and strictly required his appearance.
At the same time, he also went deep into life and visited the vegetative ward to feel the fragility of life. In the end, he successfully performed a tragic character in the scene of tears but speechless in the film.
From comedy to tragedy, Fan Wei can understand it and devote himself to it. He constantly breaks through himself and looks for the commonality that belongs to ordinary people in various roles. Whether he is a villain or a decent person, he can fit the hearts of the characters and deduce a three-dimensional character.
It is this persistent pursuit of acting skills that has made him win many film and television awards at home and abroad.
Today, at the age of 61, Fan Wei has already become an outlier in the film and television industry. He is good at switching between comedy and drama freely, and can laugh and frolic as well as cry in pain.
In the face of different lives, he can gain insight into his heart, infiltrate the characters with emotions, and bring the audience a sincere and shocking viewing experience. This kind of love and exploration of acting skills has made his career as an actor more exciting and more sophisticated.
Zhao Benshan is upright and innovative, and there is not much room for the two to cooperate
Unlike Fan Wei, who chose to open up a broader drama path, Zhao Benshan, as the inheritor of Northeast comedy, chose to keep the right and bring forth the new. He is committed to promoting the culture of the Northeast and satirizing the evils of the times in a comedic way.
"The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate" is a representative of his masterpieces in recent years.
As a leading figure in the comedy industry, Zhao Benshan shoulders the mission of promoting comedy culture. He needs to take on the multiple roles of director and screenwriter, discover the place of comedy, and cultivate comedy heirs.
As a result, his focus is still limited to comedy and sketches, which has become his comfort zone.
Although the two are developing in different directions, the relationship between Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan has not completely broken down. In the 2011 movie "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", the two also had a friendly interaction.
In 2019, Fan Wei returned to star in the comedy "Liu Laogen 3" directed by Zhao Benshan. These all show that after the precipitation of time, the relationship between the two has been restored to the same as before.
But it's unlikely that the two will work together again in the future. Because of the different paths they choose and their positioning, Fan Wei will stand more from the perspective of an actor, while Zhao Benshan has the courage to take on the role of director.
The cooperation between the two sides is not as good as before, which may become an obstacle for the two to regain their former screen charm.
But who can say that there will be no more surprises between the two? The miracles of life are everywhere, and perhaps one day, the two masters of comedy will join forces again and bring a new joy to the audience.
Let's wait and see, the next chapter of their saga.
Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan are leading the way, and the road to acting is still long
Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan can be described as two monuments to the Chinese comedy stage. The classic works they created together are still haunting in people's hearts today. Although the two are no longer as close as they once were, their respective achievements and contributions in the film and television industry continue.
61-year-old Fan Wei has successfully transformed into a powerful actor. He continues to challenge himself, and his acting skills are becoming more and more perfect, becoming a bright star in the film and drama industry. As a leader in the comedy industry, Zhao Benshan is also working hard to inherit comedy culture and discover and cultivate new talents.
The two masters each lead the way and continue to work hard and harvest in their own fields.
The road of life is endless, and so is the road of acting. Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan will also continue to hone their acting skills, allowing us to see their performances to the next level.
No matter how the characters are reversed, we can still feel the temperature of life through their works.
The legend written by the two masters together continues. It is part of the history of Chinese comedy and our common memory. Let us wish them to go further and further on the road of acting, do better and better works, and continue to warm our lives with comedy.
