In the entertainment industry, there are many good-looking stars, but there are only a few male gods who are unanimously recognized by both men and women: Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, Peng Yuyan...
There is also a low-key one that has not been seen for a long time: Jin Chengwu.
Speaking of which, it has been 4 years since Jin Chengwu's last movie, "Like You", has not been released. Although he had previously made a police film directed by Mak Junlong, starring Leung Ka Fai, Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle and others, the film has been slow to move, and the latest news is that it is expected to be released in December this year.
Many people have waited for years for Jin Chengwu's works and news, but he is becoming more and more low-key. And recently,
The always low-key Jin Chengwu finally has a new work - he is the first time to act as a spokesperson for mobile games, returning to Taiwan to shoot short films.
In this black-and-white theme advertisement, a white and vast snowy day, Jin Chengwu is warming up in the wooden house to play Go, and one person is decorated at the same time with two people, one wearing white clothes and one wearing black clothes, still half-length medium-distribution type, eyes are shining, handsome is still the same.
"The opponent of life is only oneself, and every step is transcendent."
This monologue in the advertisement also corresponds to the state of the 47-year-old Jin Chengwu himself over the years - he slowed down the pace of work, the only drama, very little endorsement, "hidden" himself, disappeared without a trace in the entertainment industry, and truly became an "otaku".
It is reported that usually Jin Chengwu lives in seclusion in Japan, in order to shoot advertisements this time, he returned to Taiwan very low-key and secretly, and ate the snack meat balls, rice cakes, noodles, sweet and not spicy prepared for him by the production company, which made him very happy.
Also in March, Wong Kar-wai's old work "Chongqing Forest" starring Kim Sung-moo was released in South Korea 27 years ago, with a super high rating, directly rushing to 9.27 points (out of 10 points), a fairly high score.
The film, which premiered in Hong Kong, China in 1994, is also Jin Chengwu's highest-rated douban film so far, and currently has a high score of 8.8. In the film, Jin Chengwu plays the policeman number 223, and after the loss of love, he meets the blonde female killer played by Lin Qingxia and has a richer sense of life.
In the film, the character played by Jin Chengwu has a classic line about the canned pineapple that is about to expire - "I don't know when to start, there is a day on every thing, saury will expire, canned meat will expire, even plastic wrap will expire, I began to wonder, in this world, what else will not expire?" ”
"On May 1, 1994, a woman said Happy Birthday to me, because I will always remember this woman because of this sentence. If the memory is also a can, I hope that the can will not expire; If I had to add a day, I would have liked her to be ten thousand years old. ”
Jin Chengwu is really too low-key, low-key to the past 10 years only made a few films, most of the time in the rest: basically do not go on variety shows, there are basically no interviews, from the big screen to television, to media reports, are basically rare to see his figure.
It is reasonable to say that 40 to 50 years old is the best age for a mature actor, but when many people are not slacking off, Jin Chengwu has lived a life like a crane in advance, like a clear stream in the film and television circle.
Why?
This is related to Jin Chengwu's personality all along, he is not a person who is eager for success, on the contrary, he pursues work-life balance.
He believes that a busy life is not suitable for him, and he thinks that the money earned only needs to be spent enough, because life is short, and he wants to enjoy life more after work. In addition, he believes that it is more important for actors to focus on the work itself, rather than showing off some other things, so he wants to focus more on acting, and other "entertaining work" that has nothing to do with acting is not of great interest to him.
As we all know, Jin Chengwu is a Mixed Chinese and Japanese, because of his handsome appearance, at the age of 15, because of a soda advertisement, he was photographed by the owner of the brokerage company, learned to sing, officially released a record at the age of 19, and began to officially develop into the film and television circle at the age of 20.
As a result, at a young age, with his outstanding appearance, he was photographed by director Wong Kar-wai and starred in "Chongqing Forest" with Lin Qingxia, Faye Wong, Liang Chaowei and others, laying a high starting point for film performance.
Wong Kar-wai once commented on several male actors in his films, saying: "Zhang Guorong has a story in his eyes, Liang Chaowei's eyes are black holes, and Jin Chengwu's eyes have life." ”
In that era, popular film and television songs developed in an all-round way, and he also became the dream lover of countless young girls in this "comprehensive development", and also became the "four little kings" of Taiwan's entertainment industry with Lin Zhiying, Wu Qilong, and Su Youpeng.
But later, he gradually found the direction he wanted, he chose to stay away from the impetuous and chased entertainment industry, chose to be a dedicated actor, focus on making movies, and occasionally make some TV series.
Therefore, later, we saw an increasingly delicate and layered Jin Chengwu, appearing in "Heartbeat", "Go Left, Go Right", "Ten Faces Ambush", "If Love", "Wounded City", "Cast Name", "Chibi", "Taiping Wheel", and even "Ferryman" and "Like You".
Whether it is in "Heartbeat", the student is full of vigor and handsome Haojun
Or in "If Love", Lin Jiandong, who uses time to prove love
Or in "Letter of Submission", sandwiched between the eldest brother and the second brother, the third brother Jiang Wuyang is embarrassed
In recent years, in "Like You", he has incarnated as the domineering president Lu Jin...
Jin Chengwu always exudes his unique attraction and continues to attract the audience, different types of roles through his different interpretations, under the handsome appearance, let him always maintain a charm that is difficult to be copied, more than just a good-looking skin bag.
Jin Chengwu's film production is not high, but that is exactly the real him. He has always regarded likes more than money, and he only takes the scenes he wants to take, just like when he debuted just to save money to buy a motorcycle, not because he thought he was in good shape.
Over the years, he who did not shoot dramas basically disappeared from the public eye, his whereabouts are a mystery, and his marriage and love situation has always been a mystery...
Although he was photographed wearing a ring on his left ring finger and was once revealed to have a Japanese wife, he never went public and explained anything in order to explain anything, but said that if he got married, he would not disclose it to the public.
In addition, for some outrageous scandals, he is directly denied.
Once asked by the media about "what do you do when you don't shoot", Jin Chengwu's answer was also very flat, he said: "I usually eat with friends, just play in foreign countries, or read books or something." He emphasized, "I just live a very ordinary life, very ordinary, nothing special." ”
In the circle, people like Jin Chengwu, who are so indifferent to fame and fortune and so out of the matter, are probably the only ones. He never brushes the sense of existence, but always has a strong sense of existence, because "disappearing" appears more mysterious and arouses more curiosity from the outside world about his recent situation.
If it weren't for the advertising, I don't know if I saw Jin Chengwu's movie at the end of this year, I hope not to wait too long, after all, everyone is worried about him, they all miss him.
