Today, [King Kong Chuan] was released, and the treasure actor who looked at the treasure that Mimi was holding, couldn't hide it at all——
Li Jiuxiao.
In [King Kong Chuan], he is the protagonist in the story of the beginning, the infantry squad leader Liu Hao.
Young and vigorous, bent on meritorious service and medals, but no matter how strong the youthful spirit is, it cannot rival the cruel battlefield.
Finally, he found that no one could save him, and he could only shoot at God weakly. Like the last cry of a beast.
As soon as the opening scene, it grabbed the hearts of the audience.
In fact, this treasure can not be hidden, but many viewers "stare" at him.
In the work released at the end of August, [Yaobai], he is a "junior knife" who is "willing to try" in order to send a telephone line to the other side of the river.
Under the stills of the knife, the audience lined up neatly to leave messages, and the scene was very shocking -
Li Jiuxiao, I remember you
Ah look bold prediction, when you finish reading [King Kong Chuan], you will line up to leave a message ——
Li Jiuxiao, you can't escape.
At least Ah Kan really thought so: he must not be spared.
After reading his name in the editor-in-chief's ear for three days, the matter finally became, and Ah Kan could say toughly-
Li Jiuxiao, you wait, October 25th, don't go at home.
A look to ask you, come to the "Movie FUN Screening" section of the "Movie Now" APP, and this group of people who can't forget you, watch a movie together, don't want to escape.
This is the fourth issue of "Movie FUN Screening". Li Jiuxiao will watch the war movie [The Awakened Adam] with fans and communicate after the screening.
Why is it that the threshold of the gradual recovery of the film industry is that he stands out and becomes the first wave of new forces?
Probably, for the same reason that Ah Kan didn't want to "let go" of him.
Because, in Chinese films, there is a lack of actors like him who have a "story".
Don't rush to gossip, listen to Ah Kan slowly.
01
Let's start with [Kongo Chuan].
Liu Hao complained childishly to Elder Lian Gao Yitong:
Why did you tell us to do the work of the sappers! I'm going to fight and get the medal!
He ran away in a huff, and in the place where there was no one, he took out a piece of burnt yellow photo paper from his arms, the edges of which had been burned out, but still very flat.
He squeezed the photo paper tightly with both hands, and as soon as he lowered his eyes, the arrogance of the teenager just now dissipated, and he was beaten by reality like a stick.
In the eyes, it seems that there are countless past events.
But they can only exist on the photo paper, or the burnt yellow afterimage.
Some people can just look at him and sigh, and it makes people feel as if he has lived for hundreds of years.
Just such a look, you can understand, he seems to be childish to ask for medals, but in fact he carries the hopes of countless deceased comrades-in-arms.
Later, he shouted for the medal again, and the audience felt a different meaning.
Even more than directly filming those past events in great detail, people can't figure out how many stories have happened to this person.
It's called an actor with a "story." Words are endless, meaning is endless.
In "Actors Please Take Place", the most commonly heard directors ask this question:
Your character, why are you here?
What exactly is the relationship between the two of you?
Although in the show, the actor only plays a few minutes of footage, but this role is not without roots, he has a past, he has a future.
There is the story of his life.
It's not just about finishing the lines on the script and the scenes, and it's gone. Then the character must be dead.
[Kongogawa] is a group portrait movie, with infantry, artillery, sappers, and the characters are huge.
The space given to each character is also limited.
But whether you are a male classmate without a story is not determined only by the length of the performance.
Some stories don't need to be elaborated. A good performance, even in one shot, makes the audience feel that there is an endless story.
This scene of Li Jiuxiao in [King Kong Chuan] is.
02
Ah look at the following sentence, it is quite sour to say -
Li Jiuxiao's "sense of story" is first of all a talent.
He himself said:
I still believe that people are visual animals, and it is possible that I look special.
This face has a story at first glance.
Liu Chang, the director of "Exclusive Memory", said that Li Jiuxiao is the only actor in the whole play who tried the play once.
Because he was natural, there was "that kind of non-aggressive, natural, brilliant pride."
Yao Chen asked him to play [Send Me to Qingyun], and he brushed his photo in the circle of friends, "immediately felt that he was the most suitable candidate for Simao."
Starring in [Eight Hundred], there was no audition, and I had not even seen the director Guan Hu, that is, the producer Liang Jing found that he was energetic and recommended to Guan Hu.
Such a story of "one glance and life" has happened countless times in Li Jiuxiao.
Once may be accidental, many times, can not be simply attributed to luck, or appearance.
I still have to start at the beginning.
People who have stories have stories from an early age.
As soon as Li Jiuxiao was born, he drifted east and west.
His father is Yi and his mother is Han.
Not long after his birth, Li Jiuxiao left his parents and was sent to his grandparents, a Yi autonomous prefecture.
After two years, Li Jiuxiao was taken back to Xichang by his mother.
After a few more years, my parents were transferred to Beijing. As a result, he also became a small north drifter.
Drifted until later, there were two years when I couldn't get a play, and I even went to didi.
The flesh is always floating, and it leaves traces on the soul.
First, all these regional cultures became part of his "personal history."
He was naturally interested in The Yi culture, and when he was empty, he always liked to check the origin of the Yi people.
There was always a picture in his mind, when he was a child, his grandfather spoke the Yi language, the charcoal was burning, crackling, and the fire was shaking.
He was also influenced by his mother, loved to eat Chongqing cuisine, and his personality had a pepper flavor.
Each of these regional cultures adds a little spice to Li Jiuxiao as a person.
Since high school, Li Jiuxiao has always visited the old Taoist in his hometown of Xichang
Second, he learned different languages.
The mother tongue was Yi dialect, later, Tuanjie dialect (Yi dialect pronounced sichuanese), then Chongqing Sichuan dialect, and beijing dialect.
Those who have seen [Advent] movies or novels will believe that a language will completely affect the way people think.
Together, these two points underwent a chemical change in him.
As a result, he also has a layer of rich "taste", like perfume out of the front, middle and back notes.
When you have long hair, you are dashing and angry, and when you have short hair, you are stubborn and unyielding.
The long hair of [Hotpot Hero], the short hair of [King Kong Chuan].
Either way, the temperament of the body makes people wonder what happened to him.
When it comes to acting, these different aspects of temperament can be used on the characters to add a layered story to them.
In those two years, he could not receive drama, and when he was at home, he read, painted, and worked out, and his long hair was also stored at that time.
As a result, it was used in [Hotpot Hero].
Although the role only has a few minutes of drama, the image of a little evil in literature and art is indeed a person who has been closed for two years, reading books and growing hair.
Especially when you tie your hair and fight against the uninvited guest, that action, that look—
When this male classmate went to school, he was determined to dominate the campus, swept thousands of young girls, and was frightened by the mixed wind.
03
But it can't all depend on talent. Otherwise, how many stories will be told one day.
More importantly, Li Jiuxiao spent his time studying his character and what the story was.
Even if those stories are not in the script at all, they will not be filmed.
As mentioned earlier in "Actors Please Take Place", the real story is outside the script, in the "sewing" of the script.
The characters may only appear on the screen for a while, but they have a lifetime in the heart of the performer Li Jiuxiao.
The knife is in [Eight Hundred], one of the group portraits.
Li Jiuxiao, however, wrote hundreds of words of biographies for him.
You have to be more realistic, yes, these words will never turn into a picture on the screen.
The father who wrote the knife was a carpenter, wrote about the leaflets he broke into the beach at the age of 16 and saw "down with imperialism" on the ground when he first arrived.
What really made me want to fight with them was when they actually drove the boat to prepare to land on the leased land and bully to the doorstep! You'll have to fight to the death!
But are these stories that are not "on" the picture really not in the movie?
Petition to send telephone lines for the troops of his compatriots, braving the rain of bullets from the Japanese army.
As soon as he raised his hand and threw out the telephone line, the courage and righteousness belonged to a carpenter's son, a man who ran famous on his legs.
Acting in "Very Witnessed", Zhou Yu, a small-town youth.
Although as one of the people involved, the identity of the "small town youth" is only a background for Zhou Yu, Li Jiuxiao has made a lot of efforts to make up for these stories
On the first day of the crew, a pair of feet flattened the winding streets and alleys of the town, and the shoes had the earthy fragrance of the town.
I also borrowed a small motorcycle and suddenly turned around again and again.
He also wrote poems for the characters.
Needless to say, there is really a song that is useful.
The dirt and poetry have also become stories that are implicit but not revealed, not on the skin of the picture, but in the soul of the characters.
And in order to perform [send me to Qingyun] Si Mao's excitement, he poured himself coffee every day.
In order to play the scene in "I Am the Murderer" who pleaded with Wang Qianyuan to come out of the mountain, he really drank eight cans of coffee diligently.
Yes, these stories, whether they belong to the characters or to Li Jiuxiao, will not appear on the big screen.
But the audience saw it through Li Jiuxiao's eyes.
04
In this issue of "Movie FUN Screening", Li Jiuxiao, who has a story, will watch [The Awakened Adam] with us.
Like [Kongogawa], it is also a war film.
But more offbeat.
It tells of the fact that During the war, Jews had to disguise themselves as dogs in order to survive under the Nazis.
After the war, the male protagonist's heart is still clouded.
It's a story that once you decide to shoot it, you have to take it 200% seriously.
To perform this sensational story, male lead Actor Jeff Gablen traveled several times to Israel to visit Holocaust survivors.
Another male classmate with a story.
What will Li Jiuxiao think of this alternative war film?
In his eyes, what will be the story of the characters in this movie?
So many of the characters he himself has played —Liu Hao, Knife, Si Mao, Eight Precepts— and what other off-screen stories have not been "exposed" on the big screen?
At 19:15 on October 25th, "Watching Movies" and "Now Movies" jointly launched the fourth issue of "Movie FUN Screening" "Li Jiuxiao Talks About Alternative War Films".
At that time, Li Jiuxiao will come to the current movie, join the online movie hall, and watch [The Awakened Adam] with us.
At 21:00, he will also meet with everyone after the screening and share the story of the movie.
Together with Ah Kan, Li Jiuxiao can tell a good story of how much to drink.
