On April 2, Chen Jianbin's work "The Eleventh Time" was released, and the reputation of the film continued to ferment before the release, and the Douban score was as high as 8.4 points. After the release, there was a phenomenon of polarization, and now Douban has a score of 7.5.
But like it or not, fans and general audiences alike admit that "The Eleventh Time" is a film with style and attitude, it is very small, and even "offensive".
From actor to director, Chen Jianbin is steady and steady, step by step to achieve his dreams, he does not compromise with the market, specializes in "small films", has the dream of a director and does not give up the actor's own line, movies, TV series, costumes, modern, serious, humorous, anything can come, can also take his wife on the reality show "show love".
This kind of warm man who is talented and takes care of the family, that person does not love it.
Chen Jianbin's acting road and Jiang Wen have a lot in common, the same Chinese opera graduates, are acting schools, but also choose to act and excellent direction of the road, and Chen Jianbin does not have Jiang Wen's "sense of distance", he is very kind, a bit like the close uncle around, even if he is talented, there is no shelf, he is a friend of women on the TV screen, a warm man who loves his wife Gu family, and of course, he is also a domineering artist.
The audience was most impressed by yongzheng in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", "The Biography of Zhen Huan" is a woman's play, which once annoyed Chen Jianbin when filming, "As soon as the filming was over, they began to talk at the same time, they talked about their own things, at that time I sat there, I felt, really annoying, really depressed, just want to do this ..." In this way, Chen Jianbin also mastered the essentials of playing the emperor - annoyance.
Therefore, the Yongzheng of "The Biography of Zhen Huan" is often accompanied by a kind of deep and depressed, and there is a domineering spirit that is not angry and arrogant. When filming, Chen Jianbin also often does some impromptu play to make Yongzheng more grounded and more natural.
In the early years, Chen Jianbin deeply cultivated the field of TELEVISION dramas, but it was obvious that he was not here, and the film was his real dream.
In 2011, he starred in a small-budget crime movie "Crowd of People", in which he played a farmer who chased the murderer for thousands of miles, Chen Jianbin faded the domineering spirit in the costume film, hid all the sharp edges, and suppressed the murder who sought to kill his brother. "Crowds of People" was cut in China and no one paid attention to it, but it shined at international film festivals and won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
In 2014, Chen Jianbin came to the other side of the strait again, and cooperated with Taiwanese filmmakers to shoot "Paradise in the Army", in the film, Chen Jianbin played the role of Lao Zhang with dark skin, bare arms, with a Shandong accent, reprimanding a group of recruit eggs, at the same time he also has his own lover in the "military paradise", he also often looks north to the mainland on the coast, missing his hometown and his father.
"Paradise in the Army" won Chen Jianbin the most important performance award of his acting career - the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 51st Golden Horse Awards.
That is, that Golden Horse Awards, not only did he participate in "Paradise in the Army", but also his directorial debut "A Spoon".
The story of "A Spoon" takes place in Chen Jianbin's hometown of Xinjiang, telling the story of a simple farmer in the northwest who rescues a weak intellectual who lives on the street, named "Spoon", and then trouble ensues, and the simple old farmer is eventually lost in the complex world.
"A Spoon" has an absurd tone, a comedic plot, but it is still an allegory that tortures human nature, depicts the desolation of human nature with absurdity, and reflects on the meaning of goodness and the reality of "people being deceived by people". Back in his familiar hometown, Chen Jianbin's acting skills are impeccable, and he is an old farmer in the northwest without any sense of violation.
More importantly, we see Chen Jianbin's directing ability, he also won the affirmation of the award, won the best new director, the best actor two awards at the 51st Golden Horse Awards, plus the best supporting actor award of "Army Paradise", 51 Golden Horse Chen Jianbin alone won three awards, which can be described as unprecedented and unprecedented.
This year's Qingming file Chen Jianbin's second work "The Eleventh Time" was released, which also has the shell of absurd comedy, but it is about the relationship between stage and reality, is art derived from life, or art changes life? When the stage is as absurd as reality, where should we go?
The tractor murder case on the stage, the noisy family under the stage, but also the love of the theater director and the actor, the virtual and real of the old case, the nesting layer by layer, the drama in the play, some viewers are confused, and some viewers are like treasures, thinking that it is the best of the year.
Either way, you will admit that "The Eleventh Time" is a rare film, and Chen Jianbin is a rare good director.
