Preface
What are the key factors needed for an actor's road to fame? Is it the superb acting? Or is it an opportunity? Or is it a dream and persistence? Today, let's walk into the acting life of the rich son Feng Jiayi, witness his struggle between dreams and reality, and listen to his never-give-up pursuit of art.
Family-sponsored "Playboy"
Feng Jiayi was born in a scholarly family and has a wealthy family.
He grew up in an affluent environment and lived a luxurious life that was envied by others.
In line with his family's expectations, at the age of 14, he was sent abroad to study business management in preparation for the future succession of the family business.
However, deep down, Feng Jiayi has a different kind of feelings for the performing arts.
He often watches the performances of actors in his spare time, and dreams of one day standing in the center of the stage and showing his talent.
Even if his family didn't know his passion for art, he was determined to follow his heart's direction.
After graduating from university, Feng Jiayi returned to China to take over the family business and became a "hands-off shopkeeper".
But this did not extinguish his yearning for a career in acting, but like a raging flame, it always awakened his inner desire for art.
The ups and downs of the world, stick to the original intention
Feng Jiayi, who has lived in a wealthy environment since she was a child, did not immerse herself in the ocean of money, but chose a rugged artistic path.
In her spare time, Feng Jiayi began to take on various roles, starting from the lowest small roles.
He has traveled from major crews to major crews, from an insignificant supporting role, to gradually accumulate acting experience.
Those meager salaries that were difficult to pay even for luxury car fuel did not make him lose confidence in his dreams.
On the contrary, every experience sharpens his acting skills and gives him a deeper understanding of acting.
"I may be the highest-paid trick in the whole crew, and I am also the most unprofessional 'hands-off shopkeeper'." Feng Jiayi said so self-deprecatingly.
Despite being wealthy, he has always maintained a pure heart as an actor, and his love for acting has never waned.
This spirit of determination and determination has become a powerful driving force for Feng Jiayi on the road of art.
He used his actions to explain what it means to "keep the original intention".
walked out of the center of the stage and met Director Teng, a noble man
The turning point of every actor's life often needs the guidance of a noble person and the favor of an excellent opportunity.
For Feng Jiayi, this noble person is director Teng Huatao.
In 2007, the urban drama "Snail House" directed by Teng Huatao swept the country, and Feng Jiayi played the role of profiteer Chen Sifu in the play, and her excellent acting skills made the audience's eyes shine.
This role became an important turning point in his acting career, and it also allowed him to get acquainted with this "noble" director.
Since then, Feng Jiayi has become the "queen supporting actor" of director Teng Huatao, and the two have established a tacit cooperative relationship.
In the next few years, Feng Jiayi successively starred in many masterpieces of Director Teng, such as "Double-sided Tape", "Mr. Good" and so on.
In this cooperation, his control of the characters' emotions has become more and more accurate, and the portrayal of the characters' inner world has become more and more nuanced.
It wasn't until 2019 that Feng Jiayi played the role of Li Longji, a completely different Tang Xuanzong, in the historical drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" directed by Teng Huatao, his acting skills finally reached the peak.
This image of the emperor who has experienced vicissitudes and inner contradictions has almost pushed Feng Jiayi's acting skills to a new height.
He is sometimes miserable and helpless, sometimes tyrannical and angry, and completely shows Li Longji's complex inner world in front of the audience, which is amazing.
Regret in "A City in the City".
The greater the expectation, the deeper the disappointment.
For Feng Jiayi, 2023 can be described as the biggest opportunity and regret in his life.
In that year, the urban drama "City in the City" directed by Teng Huatao was broadcast on various David TV.
In the play, Feng Jiayi plays the male number two Su Jianren, a complex character who combines a playboy, a love brain and a "flamboyant tongue".
In order to interpret this character with a distinct personality, Feng Jiayi has worked hard.
From costumes, makeup to lines and expressions, he took great pains to portray Su Jianren.
He played this "scumbag" role in an interesting way, but without distorting his temperament, giving him a unique charm.
Especially the touching crying scene with Zhao Hui played by Yu Hewei, the two are unpretentious, sincere and moving, and vividly interpret the bitterness and helplessness of brotherhood.
thought that this would be a great opportunity for Feng Jiayi to become popular, but who would have thought that the acting skills of the heroine Lonnie would cast a shadow on the whole series.
Whether it is playing against Yu Hewei or with Feng Jiayi, Lonnie seems stiff and lacks a sense of substitution.
Especially in some key scenes that should be full of emotion, she just blindly stares wide, which is not infectious, and often makes people dramatic.
In contrast, Feng Jiayi is like a fire, passionate like fire; Lonnie is like a lump of ice and snow, as cold as ice.
The emotional drama of the two is like a pair of "real fragrance" CPs, and the strong contrast makes people think about it: if the heroine is played by a powerful actor such as Wang Ou, will this drama make it more dazzling?
Missed the encounter of "Zhang Songwen", can you expect to be a late bloomer?
If Feng Jiayi has an excellent partner in "City within a City", will he be able to become famous overnight like Zhang Songwen in "Hurricane"?
When it comes to the actors who will be popular in 2023, people will naturally think of Zhang Songwen.
Gao Qiqiang, who he played in "Hurricane", was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience with his distinctive personality and ups and downs of life experience.
And Zhang Songwen's popularity, in addition to his own acting skills, is also inseparable from a good work platform and tacit partner.
The outstanding performance of the heroine Gao Ye appropriately sets off and reflects Gao Qiqiang's image, and the tacit cooperation between the two has made this phenomenal masterpiece.
On the other hand, Feng Jiayi's encounter in "A City in the City" can't help but make people feel sorry.
If the heroine is played by a powerful actor, will Feng Jiayi also become another "Zhang Songwen"? This assumption makes people think about it.
With Wang Ou's acting skills, all the roles she has played are impressive, whether it is Su Xiaoluo in "Long Live Life" or Lu Li in "Shocking", they have all become three-dimensional and full because of her interpretation.
Wang Ou's crying scene is even more moving, her restrained and rich eye drama, which complements Feng Jiayi's tacit understanding, will definitely be able to create gorgeous sparks.
Although Feng Jiayi missed the opportunity to become popular in "City within a City", his superb acting skills are already amazing.
The success of a good actor requires his own unremitting efforts, as well as good timing and tacit partners.
I believe that at some point in the future, when another phenomenal work comes, Feng Jiayi will be able to "become a late bloomer" and live up to expectations, so that his acting skills will shine on a broader stage!
epilogue
Although Feng Jiayi missed the opportunity to become popular, he spent 18 years persistently writing a legend of dreams, tenacity and regret.
I believe that when the time is ripe, he will be able to shine on a broader stage and let the flower of acting shine! Let's look forward to this powerful actor who is a "late bloomer" and will create new brilliance in the palace of art!
