2006 was the height of summer, and the heat had not yet arrived. A middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes walked into a café, and he was Teng Huatao, a director over half a hundred years old. In the museum, another man in a suit and leather shoes has been waiting for a long time, and that person is Feng Jiayi, a wealthy man who is old and old.
The two looked at each other and smiled, for some reason. In fact, a few years ago, Director Teng intended to invite Feng Jiayi to join his new play "Double-sided Tape" to play a small supporting role. It's just that I haven't found a chance, but today is the best.
"Lao Feng, I have a new script here, do you want to consider joining?" Director Teng got straight to the point.
Feng Jiayi's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this, and the actor dreamed that he would never forget it. It's just that he was young and poor, was opposed by his family, and failed to start a business, so he temporarily put aside his ideals and joined the business world. Now that the family business is successful, he is naturally determined to succeed.
"Of course I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Feng Jiayi's tone was firm. Seeing this, Director Teng waved his hand again and again.
"Don't be fooled by me, I'm looking for you this time, not because we have a lot of connections. I've seen your acting skills, and you're definitely a good seedling of an actor! It's just a supporting role, you can master your skills with me first, and you will be able to shine in the future!"
Although Director Teng's words were straightforward, they were undoubtedly praise from the heart. In fact, Feng Jiayi loved movies and acting in his early years, and he himself tried to film abroad several times, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to emerge.
This time, he was able to regain his dream under the affirmation of the domestic director, and for him, who is nearly sixty years old, it is like a spring from the heart of a rich child, which finally burst out. His eyes shone brightly, and even his posture became high-spirited.
"Then it's hard for you to bother, Director Teng!" Feng Jiayi said sincerely.
"Haha, my old guy's forte, naturally is to discover talents. You just have to let it go, and I'll take care of the rest!" Director Teng smiled heartily and patted Feng Jiayi's shoulder fiercely.
In this way, Feng Jiayi started her career as an actor at the age of 37. Who would have thought that a rich man who has worked hard in the shopping mall for decades would be so concerned about making tricks? He could have invested in making a movie and let himself alone in the whole show, but he preferred to play small roles. Regarding this phenomenon, the outside world generally believes that Feng Jiayi is seeking a sense of existence, but he has never thought of it this way.
For Feng Jiayi, acting is like a willow blossom, and it is the last ideal in his life. After taking too many detours and suffering too much on this road, when the ideal was finally realized, he was like a thirsty deer who finally found Ganlin. He doesn't care if he can be the protagonist or not, as long as he can show his acting skills, he is already satisfied.
Since then, Feng Jiayi has fallen in love with the crew. Whenever a new drama starts filming, you can see him walking into the crew in a suit, taking over the script and starting to study his role intensively. He never allows any slackness, for fear that a small look or action misinterpretation will ruin the overall look and feel of the whole play.
In order to better interpret the role, he will even start working hard a few months in advance. Even when he was catching a plane, he would use every minute to observe and learn acting skills.
You see, he is surrounded by stills of the characters he has played; The shelves were densely filled with books of scripts that he had studied countless times; Even in the luxury car he drove, the back seat became his temporary little theater, where he pondered his lines along the way. It can be said that he regards the crew as his home, and the actors are the backbone of his family.
However, he is so attentive, but he is often ridiculed as "the most expensive trick" in the crew. Indeed, even if Feng Jiayi plays a small role, she is often full of drama and has an incredible influence. But compared to the thousands of family fortunes of the protagonist, the salary he received was really insignificant.
Once, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to repair his luxury car. At that time, a director said: "Boss Feng's car cost is far more than his total salary in our crew." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and even Feng Jiayi herself was amused.
It can be seen that even if he has a lot of money, he loves the profession of actor from the bottom of his heart. However, enthusiasm alone is not enough, Feng Jiayi is with extraordinary dedication and diligence that she can achieve today's achievements in the entertainment industry after becoming a monk halfway.
To date, Feng Jiayi has starred in more than 40 film and television dramas. Others may be open-minded and greedy for fame and fortune; But for him, being an actor is what he wants. Maybe he is in the prime of life, and he has already read all the things in the world, but this career has not yet been dusted. So when he finally found an outlet to vent, he naturally threw himself into it tirelessly.
Throughout his acting career, from "Snail House" to "City in the City", he has always been strict with himself. Even in small roles, he is fully engaged and shows the essence of the role in the most focused state. Perhaps it is this diligent dedication to his career that allows him to be noticed from time to time even in the ranks of dragons.
It's like a bright pearl meeting a beloved, shining on the stage of the crew. What the audience sees is not a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but an actor who is diligently pursuing his acting career. The simple supporting role in the face of the spotlight shows the innocence and dedication to drama.
You see, when Feng Jiayi appeared in front of the screen, he completely removed the aura of a rich man and focused on performing around the role. Sometimes the gestures reveal the wanton wildness of the characters, and sometimes they show the inner twists and turns with affection. Even when playing against old actors, he can easily transform a variety of emotions in just a few tens of seconds, and portray the psychology of the character vividly.
Years of perseverance and diligence have finally won him the recognition of the director and the audience. For example, in the 2013 action movie "Control", his performance was highly praised by producer Wu Yanzu. And acting masters like Zhang Jiayi have also become his "golden partner".
"Director Teng is really a talented person who discovers talents, where did he discover such a treasure for us?" A director once sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Teng Huatao laughed when he heard this, and patted Feng Jiayi's shoulder and said: "My old guy's ability is to know people!
Nowadays, whenever a new drama joined by Feng Jiayi is released, it can always set off a heated discussion on the Internet. The roles he plays are all impressive, even if it is only a small supporting role, he can rely on his superb acting skills to show the personality of the character to the fullest.
No wonder many people are puzzled after seeing his wonderful performance in front of the screen: "Why didn't I find out that he turned out to be a rich man?" Yes, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, how did he go deep and be willing to be a tepid little role for a long time?
