Idols and actors are two completely different professions.
The difference is no less than that of a nurse and a doctor.
Idols, selling dreams.
Playing the role of a "character" with their own unique personality.
Actor, drama translate life.
Play the "role" in someone else's story.
It's really hard to say which is lighter or heavier.
From idol to actor, it is tantamount to a crossover.
Some people have crossed the past, and there are many people who have not crossed the past in their lifetimes.
Recently, Xiangyu interviewed an artist.
He gave me another deep understanding of these two identities.
In 2014, Wang Duo was a senior.
He walked on campus, like all recent graduates who were about to enter the society, and had a planned blueprint in mind.
But it is not a graduate school, nor is it a public examination.
Instead, he opened a hot pot restaurant and became the owner himself.
Wang Duo is a practical person, even the location of the store and the franchise brand have been determined, just waiting to receive the graduation certificate.
As a result, the dream was half done, and it was suddenly intercepted by the production team of "Good Chinese Boys" who came to the school to select people.
The sharp-eyed director took a fancy to his superior appearance and hoped that he would participate in the draft.
Wang Duo did not want to be an idol at first.
As a child, his only stage experience was poetry readings and sketch performances arranged by his teacher.
Although I tried it once or twice when I grew up, it was not very successful.
He said he no longer wanted to be cannon fodder and declined the invitation.
In 2011, Wang Duo made a cameo appearance in Shenyang's local program "Big Talk Pop"
But the director continued to persuade him that if the competition went viral, it could bring business to his hot pot restaurant.
The words were not rough, and he could not refute them:
"And the director flew from Changsha to Shenyang to talk to me about it and talked about it 5 times." And then I was very impressed."
As a result, Wang Duo became the newcomer who loved to eat hot pot in the entertainment industry.
Wang Duo participated in "China's Good Boys"
Choosing to debut as a singer is not a success for him.
Although he graduated from the Conservatory of Music, he has not released a single so far.
Fortunately, after the show was broadcast, it had a little fame, and it also got some performance opportunities one after another.
But as a newcomer who has been halfway out of the family, Wang Duo's performance inevitably has some hard injuries.
He still remembers when he first entered the industry, he was ridiculed by a director in front of the whole crew, "the acting is too bad".
This is a world of collapse for northeastern men with strong self-esteem.
Shame, guilt, despair enveloped him.
It also gave him a sense of awe for the profession of an actor.
Since then, he has gone crazy about making up classes, reading books, watching movies, and asking people around for advice.
Forcing himself into a tool man who can recharge at any time.
Until you're not famous enough, you don't really have much choice.
Either do your best or sit on the cold bench forever.
Therefore, as soon as he finds a good role, Wang Duo will let the agent quickly contact the audition, although he also knows that the chances are slim.
Once in an audition, the crew had not yet finalized the final selection.
But the walls of the interview location are already plastered with photos of other actors.
That said, the production team decided that the actor was the most suitable.
The other actors who came to audition were all cutscenes, but Wang Duo did not perfunctory.
He was eager for that role and was well prepared before the audition to conquer the crew.
At the end of the audition, the audience applauded.
"The director said directly to the producer: Go and take down the photo of that person, and then this role will not have to be tried, and this role will be fixed, that is, Wang Duo."
He was ecstatic, thinking he had a chance to win, and just waited for the signing.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the crew still chose the actors who had photos on the wall before.

There are still many grievances, but it is good to be young and vigorous.
At that time, he had just entered the industry not long ago, and the freshness had not yet dissipated.
In his words, "There is a kind of newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."
In the face of a steady stream of failures, Wang Duo once thought he could carry it down.
But as time went on, the frustration finally overcame his load and crushed him.
He began to doubt his own abilities, nor did he have any courage to fight.
Fortunately, his family gave him a lot of support.
"They'll always give me confidence, including when I first debuted, when I was filming, acting... They also say I have spirituality. Step by step, my parents were actually a necessary factor in my growth."
The entertainment industry is a cruel vanity fair, and no one can win without a fight.
You can only face failure and then dilute the frustration.
Especially for a person without any background, the more frustrated and courageous, in order to survive.
Wang Duo, who flows with the blood of the northeast, has a personality of actually a bit of a "tiger".
In 17 years, he participated in a show "Flower DreamWorks", and he was injured countless times that time.
First a fracture of the sternum, then a fracture of the ankle.
Usually filming, he almost does not need a stand-in, patting the scene, hanging Weia all on his own.
So the bruises are constant.
"The pain of flesh and skin is not bitter, and spiritual whipping is the part that really makes you sad." 」
The lens is the most intuitive, and no one's flaws can escape its scrutiny.
Therefore, every artist will have some appearance anxiety.
Wang Duo was no exception, and he began to fall into a deep inferiority complex.
As a vegetarian, he is already one of the best in the world, but in the circle, good-looking skin bags abound.
"I often compare my shortcomings with the strengths of others, and every time I am bloody."
As he grew older, he also slowly became transparent.
No longer obsessed with physical breakthroughs.
If the goal is to be an actor, instead of anxiety, do not hone your acting skills truthfully.
Therefore, when participating in "Actors Please Take Place", he chose Chen Kaige's group.
If nothing else, Wang Duo just wanted to learn something different.
The opportunity to work with big directors is too precious for an actor like him who is halfway out of the family.
Wang Duo actually has no ambitions, compared with other actors, he is quite Buddha.
You ask him what opportunity did he miss because of it?
He said he generally doesn't think about it.
"I don't know, I have grasped the opportunities I can see anyway, and the ones I missed may be opportunities that I didn't even realize."
In order to enter the play, Wang Duo will use the "wild road" he has explored.
For example, once, he wanted to play a student.
But this student is very screwed, the cold window has been reading hard for decades, and finally he is still unwilling to go to the imperial examination, and he has to stay in his hometown.
He couldn't understand the character's motivations.
So a man ran to wansong academy in Hangzhou and knelt on a bed to read books for a few days.
It was a rainy day, the air was wet, and he hid under the eaves, only to have a small desk.
One day, Wang Duo was suddenly able to empathize with Shusheng.
"He didn't want to leave here because he knew he wouldn't be able to pass. Instead of going to the capital as a loser, he would rather be a literati in a small place."
In this way, Wang Duo found the role he needed to play again and again.
It's stupid, it's useful, but it also hurts.
Played the prince in "Beauty Without Borders"
Especially the boy he played in "Beauty Without Borders".
It's a character that's too much for people to be upset about.
His father sacrificed his mother for the sake of power, and reunited many years later to hunt down the mother and son. So his mother was driven mad, blinded him, and forced him to kill his father.
In this life, the prince was tormented and torn apart by his original family.
For this role, Wang Duo spent several months shooting, thinking about problems from the perspective of Gongzi and getting along with people.
So that after the killing, he could not come out for a long time, and that way of thinking would cause many troubles to his life.
Wang Duo feels that going too deep into the play is a kind of consumption for the actor.
"Because after that time, I couldn't get directly into the state of another character, and it was very unfair to that role." 」
So until now, he is still looking for the most suitable way to make him play immediately at the moment of the killing.
When he gradually returns to reality, the friends, colleagues, and family members he comes into contact with will also help him withdraw.
Wang Duo's temperament is particularly suitable for ancient costumes, so most of his roles are also ancients, including Crane Shouyue.
This is another character that is difficult to reconcile, and can be called the most tragic character in the whole film.
The Yin-Yang Master He Mao Zhongxing fell in love with the princess, but could not stay with her, so he let his style crane shouyue guard the princess.
The birth of Tsuru Shouyue is a tool man.
As in the first line of the opening paragraph, the shortest mantra in the world is the name.
The name Crane Shouyue is the meaning of He Mao Zhongxing's guardian princess Fangyue.
He had only princesses in his life, and only loved princesses.
In order to protect the princess, he even turned himself into the appearance of Zhongxing.
He had previously seen the feedback from the audience after the screening on the Internet, and there was a message that impressed him:
"Tsuru Morizuki is a ruthless guardian machine."
But in Wang Duo's view, Crane Shouyue is actually a sentient guardian machine.
"He's a big-hated man, and there are only princesses in his world." Zhongxing created him, because in Zhongxing's heart, the great love for Cangsheng takes precedence over the small love for the princess.
Therefore, Tsuru Shouyue is actually the sustenance of Zhongxing's love for the princess, and is a typical representative of xiao ai. It can also be said that TsuruMorizuki's love for the princess is higher than Tsung's love for the princess, because the princess is the meaning of his life."
Zhongxing's eyes are resolute and compassionate, because he carries the mission of helping the righteous and destroying evil.
Crane Shouyue's emotions are richer, but he belongs to the people who are calm on the surface and have a storm in their hearts.
It is actually difficult to want different eyes to portray the different personalities of two people.
Xiangyu had to admit that like many people, until the end I found out that the two roles of He Mao Zhongxing and He Shouyue were actually played by Wang Duo.
However, after filming so many scenes, Wang Duo has not yet encountered a role very similar to him.
He wanted to tap into his own greater possibilities and try modern dramas of criminal suspense.
During the interview, Xiangyu had a feeling.
Compared with those stars who have been put on the altar, Wang Duo, who has not yet become popular, is more vivid.
Faced with many questions, his answers seemed very sincere and did not condescend.
When it comes to the difference between the North and the South, he said that the last thing he is adapted to is that the cockroaches in the South are too big.
"Southern cockroaches seem to work out every day. Eat protein powder, muscle gain powder, the figure is incomparably large, but also fat. Cockroaches I really can't stand."
Speaking of going home, he said that although he has been busy all these years, he has not missed spending time with his parents.
"A week or a few days, my parents' birthdays, holidays, I will go home whenever I can, even if I have a meal and leave the next day, I will return." 」 I've always been willing to do this, and I feel the need to do it."
When it comes to the actors he likes, he says too much, but Song Jia has a great influence on him.
"Every time I talk to her, I grow a lot. I think for me, a real idol is someone who can bring you positive energy and something useful to you, and for me, he is my idol."
When it comes to red or not, he is very clear.
"I don't think I'm greedy, I didn't think I'd be red to the point where everyone in the world knows who I am, and the whole country knows my name. There are some people who support you, and that's your power source. You have a responsibility to do better.
But in other words, I don't always live for others, and I am willing to act myself. I'm happy now."
When it comes to the future, his answer is also very realistic.
"Plans can't keep up with changes, and it doesn't make any difference if they don't plan." It's important to always put the matter of strengthening yourself first."
Time back to November 2014.
Wang Duo stood on the stage of "Good Chinese Boy" for the first time.
Guest Xiao Yaxuan asked him: What kind of a good boy do you want to be?
He replied: I hope to speak with my strength.
6 years later, he's still auditioning and looking for the role he loves best.
Do not sell tragic people, do not hype romance, and do not take the black and red route.
Those who seriously pursue their dreams should not be ridiculed.
Wish him a good star.
