The villain role has always been a yardstick to measure the acting skills of actors.
On the Big Screen in Chinese, many actors have won the love of more and more audiences with their excellent grasp of the "villain image", and have gradually embarked on the peak of their careers.
And Wang Yanhui is one of them.
Mention Wang Yanhui, some viewers may think of "Qiu Huogui" in "Li Mi's Conjecture", and some fans may think of "Xiong Laosan" in "Glorious Rage".
Of course, there will also be many fans who think of "Qian Guixing" in "The Pursuer".
And a fierce middle-aged face with cunning and a thick southwest accent has also become a "first screen impression" of Wang Yanhui.
Wang Yanhui on the big screen, with a strong southwest accent, has created one classic role after another. Wang Yanhui, off the screen, was able to embark on the path of an actor by virtue of a standard Mandarin.
Yes, you heard it right, Wang Yanhui was able to follow the path of an actor because he could speak fluent Mandarin.
In 1987, Wang Yanhui, who graduated from high school, applied for the Yunnan Academy of Arts under the influence of several classmates.
In fact, for "applying for the Yunnan Academy of Arts", Wang Yanhui himself did not have much confidence, after all, he could neither sing nor dance, and "how to pass the interview without talent" has also become a problem that plagues him.
Fortunately, Wang Yanhui's Mandarin is very fluent. With this fluent Mandarin, he successfully passed the interview and was successfully admitted to the "Yunnan Academy of Arts".
After graduating from the "Yunnan Academy of Arts", Wang Yanhui was assigned to work in the Yunnan Provincial Repertory Theatre.
In the drama troupe, Wang Yanhui participated in many classic plays, such as "Kong Fansen", "Rainy Night", "Sentinel under neon lights", "Out of the Café", "Mud Man" and so on.
However, in these plays, he basically appears as a supporting role.
Like all young people, Wang Yanhui in this period had a very deep obsession with fame.
In order to become a protagonist and become famous, Wang Yanhui in 1994 chose to be admitted to the "Beijing Film Academy Acting Refresher Course".
In an interview with the "Pin Dao" column of the movie channel, Wang Yanhui also talked about some of his thoughts when he was young, "When I was young and just started acting, I thought about fire and thought that I could see all kinds of exclamations, but now I don't think about it at all. ”
During his studies at the Beijing Film Academy, Wang Yanhui did encounter many opportunities.
At the end of the 1990s, the mainland TV drama market developed and prospered, and at this time, Wang Yanhui also participated in TV drama works such as "Xi Shi", "The Great Corrupt Official and Yan", and "Black Golden Triangle".
However, these works have not made Wang Yanhui realize his wish to become popular.
In 2000, Wang Yanhui, who had no results in "chasing fame and profit", chose to return to the drama stage and concentrate his energy on the polishing of his acting skills.
The return to the real nature on the drama stage also laid the groundwork for Wang Yanhui's future acting career development.
Wang Yanhui, who returned to the drama stage, began to polish his acting skills, and his outstanding performance on the drama stage also allowed him to win the "Wenhua Performance Award" issued by the Ministry of Culture in 2004.
Today's Wang Yanhui always feels nostalgic for the years of drama performance.
Wang Yanhui believes that although drama, film and TV drama are three different things, we should study drama when studying film, because drama is the foundation of performance.
After achieving results on the drama stage, Wang Yanhui's acting career has also ushered in a huge turnaround.
In 2005, director Cao Baoping took the crew to Yunnan to shoot "Glorious Rage". Wang Yanhui, who won the "Wenhua Performance Award", was also recommended to the crew to audition.
For this audition, Wang Yanhui actually did not have much confidence. Because the crew will generally select good actors in Beijing, form a good team, and then go to the filming location. The possibility of audition and participation in filming is basically not large.
However, what is surprising is that this small probability event was encountered by Wang Yanhui in 2005.
In the process of auditioning, Wang Yanhui's performance made Cao Baoping very favored.
Although in "Glorious Rage", many role candidates have been decided, Cao Dao still won the opportunity for Wang Yanhui to star in "Xiong Laosan".
When portraying the role of "Xiong Laosan", Wang Yanhui explored a set of his own performance methods.
He thinks, "Why must Xiong Laosan be a bad person?" He did so many evil things, in fact, he was protecting his brother and protecting himself. ”
With such an idea, Wang Yanhui portrayed the role of "Xiong Laosan" in his performance as more three-dimensional and multi-faceted. And this role also allowed Wang Yanhui to win the honor of "Chinese Film and Media Awards - Best Supporting Actor".
After experiencing the shaping of "Xiong Laosan", Wang Yanhui has a lot of feelings about the performance of the villain role.
He believes that the focus of the actor is to show human nature, and the bad guy never thinks that he is doing something bad, because the role's position is different, so the way of thinking about the problem is different.
As long as you deeply understand the complex situation and complex emotions of the character, you can make the villain appear multi-faceted and three-dimensional.
With this unique set of villain performance theory, after "Glorious Rage", Wang Yanhui began to incarnate as a "wicked professional household", and successively created many classic villain roles.
After "Glorious Rage", Wang Yanhui seems to have become an indispensable element in cao Baoping's film works.
In works such as "Li Mi's Conjecture", "The Pursuer", "The Burning Heart of the Sun" and so on, the appearance of Wang Yanhui can always add icing on the cake to the presentation effect of the film.
Especially in "The Burning Heart of the Sun", the nearly 3-minute "documentary" clip can be called the moment when Wang Yanhui 'acting skills are sealed".
After seeing this bridge section, many fans mistakenly think that this is a real bridge section intercepted from the "Popularization of Law Column". And Wang Yanhui also became the "uncrowned film emperor" in "Burning Heart of the Sun" because of this performance.
The encounter with director Cao Baoping has had a huge impact on Wang Yanhui's acting career.
In Wang Yanhui's impression, Cao Baoping always made himself a "test product". Every time he shoots a scene, Director Cao likes to let the actors break through their own limits.
Under the high requirements of director Cao Baoping, Wang Yanhui can only break through himself again and again, and his acting skills have also been rapidly improved in this self-breakthrough again and again.
The superb acting skills polished during the drama performance period and Cao Baoping's self-breakthrough under high requirements have made Wang Yanhui's acting skills more and more sophisticated.
After "Burning Heart", Wang Yanhui began to be favored by more and more Chinese directors, and his screen image began to gradually peel away the shackles of "evil people and villains".
Now Wang Yanhui is active in various types of film and television works. I believe that in the future Chinese film and television works, this powerful faction will give us more and more wonderful performances.
