For the current entertainment industry, due to the frequent bad movies and the high salaries of actors, the outside world's view of this industry is becoming more and more negative, and many actors are "just bad money" in the eyes of the audience.
But there is such a person, who is obviously a rich man with a lot of money, but in order to be "addicted to acting", he has played supporting roles and even tricks in major film and television dramas for many years, and was ridiculed by netizens that "the salary is not enough for car fuel".
He is Feng Jiayi, "Su Jianren" in the current hit drama "City in the City".
What is the story of his life?
1. "The most expensive set"
"Feng Jiayi is a rich man, he brought money into the group, and used money to buy roles, 10 million is too low, there must be 5 billion. ”
In an interview, Feng Jiayi imitated hearsay, telling about himself in the eyes of the outside world for many years, but when asked about the details of the business, he refused to say more.
We only know that Feng Jiayi went abroad to study at the age of 14, earned the first pot of gold in her life in Australia, and engaged in the hotel business after returning to China in 1997.
Recalling the years of entrepreneurship, Feng Jiayi felt that there were not too many legends, just for the purpose of survival, he bumped into opportunities like flies, and he just happened to hit the right one.
But after the business world became prosperous, he did not calm down, because he always had an unfulfilled wish in his heart - acting.
In order to realize this wish, Feng Jiayi contacted the director through various opportunities, until around 2006, under the recommendation of a friend, he met director Teng Huatao, and the two soon became friends.
However, Teng Huatao did not agree to Feng Jiayi's request to participate in film and television dramas at first, after all, whoever it is, I am afraid that Feng Jiayi's request will be subconsciously regarded as a whim.
just couldn't stand his repeated pleas, Teng Huatao still wavered and allowed him to participate in the TV series "Double-sided Tape", but only gave him a role in a few minutes.
Before the start of filming, Teng Huatao said to Feng Jiayi earnestly: "I won't joke about work, if you really want to be an actor, your acting skills must pass, and when the camera is aimed at you, I won't let you fool you." ”
In the end, Feng Jiayi proved his determination with his own actions, and although the "Tan Yidao" scene he played was few, it made the audience remember deeply.
Later, in the TV series "Wang Gui and Anna", Feng Jiayi appeared again, and her performance was still outstanding.
After these two tests, Teng Huatao also recognized Feng Jiayi's acting skills, so in the TV series "Snail House", he finally got a weighty role - "Chen Sifu".
In order to play this role well, Feng Jiayi played it in front of the camera at home before filming, and then watched, analyzed, and corrected frame by frame.
In 2009, "Snail House" was broadcast, which set off a ratings frenzy, and Feng Jiayi also became popular and became an "actor" recognized by the industry and the audience.
Since then, many scripts such as "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", "The Age of Naked Marriage", and "Starlight" have found him, but almost all of them are rich characters.
With real life experience, it is not difficult for Feng Jiayi to play this kind of role, and the screen effect presented to the audience is also frequently praised.
But he felt that since he was already a real actor, he couldn't be so restricted......
Second, beyond the image of the rich
After becoming famous, Feng Jiayi did not publicize his businessman status too much, but his experience was too unique, so he inevitably became the talking point of the people who eat melons.
And with the spread of people from person to person, the rumors about him in the outside world are becoming more and more outrageous, saying that he spends hundreds of millions to buy a role, and that he is a super rich second generation or something.
Feng Jiayi couldn't laugh at this, he didn't want to explain anything, but he also clearly realized that in order to get rid of stereotypes, he had to step out of the comfort zone of the role of a rich man.
In 2016, he participated in Sammo Hung's movie "My Agent Grandpa", in which he played a perverted black boss, which made the audience love and hate.
In 2019, Feng Jiayi, who is accustomed to acting in modern dramas, played the role of Emperor Li Longji in the costume drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", which was also highly recognized.
Recently, "City in the City" was broadcast on CCTV, and many old actors such as Yu Hewei, Wang Xiao, Wang Jinsong and so on joined, but Feng Jiayi relied on the role of "Su Jianren" to fight a bloody way.
Under Feng Jiayi's interpretation, Su Jianren's superficial cowardice and deep shrewdness on the inside have been well displayed, and he has given the character a different kind of charm.
When she first entered the industry, Feng Jiayi once said happily: "The crew's box lunch is much better than the big meal ordered by the secretary, and I am really happy to squat on the ground and talk and laugh with everyone and discuss the script." ”
Perhaps, what Feng Jiayi has is a real passion for performance.
