Deng Chao's acting skills in his new film are god-like! But bad things are happening to him
"The Gate of the Sand Sea" has not yet been finalized, but it has been warmed up in patch mode.
Deng Chao, who plays Zhang San, has unkempt hair, unshaven beard, and eyes full of horror in the film, which is completely the little person in the setting who is reluctant to live in troubled times, obviously very cowardly, but has to be brave.
Deng Chao, who has no personal characteristics, is unrecognizable to many people. and those who recognized it said that this was "the acting award clip of the actor".
He is "serious", and he is really different.
Among the domestic entertainment actors, Deng Chao belongs to the "idol + powerful faction", and has acted in many bad movies, but it cannot be said that he has no acting skills.
During the period of "Emperor Professional Household", he was actually still very young, but he could already use his acting skills to add color to the role on the basis of completing the character.
For example, in "The Young Son of Heaven", Concubine Dong E died, and Shunzhi was grief-stricken.
When Deng Chao dealt with this scene, the promotion and transformation of emotions such as fear, grief, and despair were layered and infectious.
In the "military professional period", his acting skills are not only more mature, but also obviously more relaxed, integrating the different sides of the character's calm and ruffian spirit very naturally.
Later, he played "Boss", and he was not greasy at all.
Meng Hao in "The Difficult Love of the Diamond King" has a "dignified" side, but it is not excessive, but it makes up for the age difference between Deng Chao and the character, and becomes the calm and aura of the character.
And Deng Chao on the big screen performed even better.
officially transferred to the film industry's first work "Assembly Number", which made him nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" released in 09 made him nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards with Pei Donglai.
Later, "Chinese Partner" was a win-win situation for word-of-mouth and box office.
And Deng Chao's highlight moment on the big screen is undoubtedly Xin Xiaofeng in "Scorching Sun".
This film directed by Cao Baoping tells a story of atonement. The script changed drafts several times, but they were all overturned by the director himself. Even if a large number of scenes are deleted in the finished film, the scale is still amazing.
Duan Yihong, Guo Tao and Deng Chao and other three leading actors all contributed "immersion" performances. The author of the original book praised Deng Chao for putting aside his vigorous and optimistic self and grasping Xin Xiaofeng's mental state of "loneliness, depression and anxiety".
The death penalty scene at the end of the film has also become a textbook-level classic clip on the screen. The trembling of Deng Chao's body, the fear in his eyes, and the out-of-control muscles all form an amazing sense of realism.
This role helped him become the "double actor" of Golden Rooster and Golden Jue.
But after filming "Scorching Sun", Deng Chao began to deviate.
While "not adapting" in the director world, he is active in variety shows.
In 2013, Deng Chao set up a personal studio and partnered with Yu Baimei and others to open a media company.
His road to "bad movie director" began here.
In "The Breakup Master", adapted from the popular drama of the same name, Deng Chaozhen, who appeared in various women's clothes, completely let himself go, and also teased his marriage with Sun Li.
But even with such "hard work", the film's reputation is still a mess, and it was even criticized as "disgusting".
Deng Chao himself was also accused of "embarking on a road of no return".
After that, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei teamed up again to direct the second part of the "Chao's Comedy Series" "Villain Angel", and found Sun Li to play Cha Xiaodao. But even if the couple is in the same frame and works together to be funny, the reputation is worse than the previous work.
Deng Chao + Yu Baimei has become a "lightning symbol" for many people. But in the interview, he used "If we can't help it, we smell the same", in response to his question that he always cooperates with Yu Baimei.
The quality of the big-screen works is not up to scratch, but variety shows frequently show their faces.
One thing to say, Deng Chao has a strong sense of variety shows, which can not only drive the atmosphere, but also create a lot of Internet hot stalks. The most widely disseminated sentence "tired of logging" even helped him get endorsements.
No matter how you say it, from the actor to the "variety show", it can be called a waterfall downgrade. What's more, at the same time, Deng Chao also lost a lot of popularity because of "showing affection".
Deng Chao and Sun Li, who came together because of their cooperation in "Happiness Like Flowers", have the right appearance and equal strength, and they are a very good match among the star couples in the circle.
Every time the two interact, almost all of them can become a hot topic.
But there are many more "shows", but it will inevitably have a negative effect, especially in many cases, the purpose is visible at a glance.
For example, in 2015, Deng Chao sent 10 blog posts in a row to show his love to Sun Li within half an hour, and the number of likes exceeded 10 million in one day, and he also collapsed the platform's like function.
Although the reason is "generous defeat", it is really difficult not to suspect that it is promoting the new film in connection with the imminent release of "Villain Angel".
In this way, many "career fans" who were circled by Deng Chao's works were angry.
tactfully, questioning him "what the hell are you thinking, do you still like acting", and the temper is angry, and he directly takes off his fans and steps back, thinking that he should "get out of the entertainment industry".
In the middle, Deng Chao also spoke with actions.
The comedy quality of the cooperation with Yu Baimei was not good, so the two switched to the main drama. "Galaxy Cram School", which was released in 2019, has rebounded a lot compared with its predecessor.
played Fang Mu in "City Lights of Psychological Crime", although the film is not good overall, Deng Chao's acting skills are remarkable, and he was praised for "completing a very different role".
starred in "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou, one person played two roles, and lost 40 pounds due to the needs of the role, and lost so much weight that his ribs protruded.
directed and starred in "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back", although the final box office just exceeded 100 million, the reputation was the highest among the films he cooperated with Yu Baimei.
Some viewers said, "This time it's really good."
As evidenced by this, even if Deng Chao has no masterpieces like "Scorching Sun" in recent years, he still likes to jump in the variety show circle, but it still makes people feel that he has a performance in his heart.
When he won the award for "Scorching Sun", the media asked Deng Chao if he was "about to brake sharply on the road of comic and return to be a 'normal person'". He replied that he wished he could "live like a child" and "choose your favorite toys and games" as he pleased.
At the same time, he also said that he would not take on a role similar to Xin Xiaofeng again, because he had already "done it".
Therefore, Deng Chao over the years has actually been "playing happily" while waiting for desirable roles. Thinking that "being remembered" will attract resources, and then he chooses freely, choosing to use high exposure to maintain popularity.
But obviously, this choice is a double-edged sword, and it is also a bad status quo of domestic entertainment - good actors have to be consumed in variety shows and gain popularity in order to be remembered and discussed.
If, this time, his performance in "The Gate of the Sand Sea" is really shocking as the director said, then it is not impossible to win another trophy.
At that time, Deng Chao's reputation lost due to variety shows may come back. I hope he will be a good actor and stop looping indefinitely.
