As of the 18th, "The Party at South Station" has been released for 13 days, and the box office has infinitely approached the 200 million mark. For Diao Yinan, this box office performance is also worthy of the investor, but for Hu Ge, this is a work he strives to transform into a film actor, but from the results, although Hu Ge has entered the film circle, it is not fully integrated.
Please listen to my detailed analysis of the specific reasons:
Positioning: Hu Ge is a star with acting skills
On appeal, Hu Ge can be said to be standing at the top of the pyramid in the circle of TV dramas, from his debut and peak of the "Legend of the Paladin Sword" to the recent "Langya List", these well-made episodes can be said to be Hu Ge's golden sign in the TV drama circle, but the audience should pay attention to the fact that the SPECIFICATIONS of tens of hundreds of episodes of the TV series, as well as the narrative focus of the storyline, will not have too high acting requirements for the actors, as long as they do not pull across the basic OK, of course, good performance will also be brilliant.
Coupled with Hu Ge's good character and reputation among fans in the circle, you can give him a more general definition: a star with acting skills.
Of course, this refers to Hu Ge in the TV drama circle.
What about in the film industry? What is Hu Ge's box office appeal? Judging from the scheduling, roadshow, pre-sale and other situations on the premiere day, Hu Ge, with his popularity, has to some extent dissolved the barriers of movies and TV series, and 27% of the scheduled films on the premiere day are not comparable to ordinary literary and art films.
But actors and stars still have an essential difference, stars focus on traffic and popularity, and actors in the creation of the film can be said to be an extension of the director's ideas, in just 90 minutes how to accurately shape the character, convey the creative ideas, are the need for a high level of business; to put it bluntly, is to act well.
You have to know that actors in the film circle, are based on the work, of course, there are exceptions; those big directors, especially those who make art films, pay special attention to the acting skills of the actors, so if you don't have the role of the hand, you want to enter the circle with dignity, it is a joke. For example, when Jiang Wen first debuted, it was with Puyi in the movie "The Last Empress" that he was caught by the great director Xie Jinxiang, and Jiang Wen could shoot "Furong Town".
Acting: Hu Ge did not have a good performance space and did not come up with the highest level of performance
First of all, we have to figure out what kind of movie "The Party at South Station" is, which is a movie with Diao Yinan's strong personal style. The protagonist of "The Party at South Station" is actually the director, and the others are just a symbol.
This also limits the space for actors to play in the film, because they are not the protagonists at all.
Is Hu Ge's acting skills in "The Party at South Station" good? To be honest, it can only be described as decent.
So hu ge really can't perform better? No, it may be the reason for the character itself, a middle-aged man who has just come out of prison, usually doing the business of stealing chickens and dogs, and speaking the dialect of Wuhan; all of the above are needed by the character itself, and Hu Ge, as a hooligan, has no anger, and the vicissitudes of the escape mostly rely on clothing and makeup.
In the film, in addition to hu ge at the beginning of the film, when knocking people with a lock, he showed a little bit of hostility, and most of the subsequent sections were like a middle-aged man who fell down, and when he encountered evil people and evil things, he did not show the temperament of his character very well, that is, Hu Ge did not digest this role very well; at the same time, because some lines were dubbed in the later stage, the dialect of Wuhan was not easy to learn, so the role played by Hu Ge would also let the audience play at some moments. All of the above are Hu Ge's insufficient performances in the film, and even less infectious than the scumbag who made a cameo appearance in "Hello, Zhihua".
Therefore, in "The Party at South Station", Hu Ge did not show a stunning performance, and the film did not give him the opportunity to perform, but what Hu Ge needs to do now is to improve his business ability, while cherishing his feathers, not to destroy his hard-won good reputation in bad movies, step by step; actor, isn't this born?
