A few days ago, at the Hong Kong Academy Awards ceremony, Wu Yanzu, Feng Delun, Nicholas Tse and Li Cansen appeared together as the guests of honor for the two major awards of "Best Vision and Sound".
After 20 years, the four major actors of "SWAT New Human" have finally been pleasantly reunited again.
Sure enough, the picture of the four male gods in the same frame quickly alarmed the entire network world and became hotly searched.
However, you see this hot search title - #谢霆锋吴彦祖冯德伦同框 #
？？？？？？？？ What about Lee Chan-sen? Netizen: Obviously it is the story of four people, Li Cansen does not have a name?
Moreover, people also nominated for this year's Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor with "Fallen Man".
Organic netizens found that the hot search was less of Li Cansen's earth-shattering secret: because Xie, Wu, and Feng were wearing black suits, only Li Cansen wore white suits... (Mistaken)
Back 20 years ago, he was just as inconspicuous: sitting next to several top handsome men, Li Cansen's face had almost no advantage.
But his unshuai face always reveals a vivid energy of "doing my own thing", known as "an alternative handsome guy in Greater China".
No wonder netizens replied: Li Cansen, did not lose.
Many people know Li Cansen, perhaps because of his identity as a friend of Guanxi.
After the "nude photos gate", when a group of friends left Chen Guanxi, only Li Cansen (alias Li Xuanchen) sent a message to care about his situation.
And Li Cansen's more impossible to ignore identity is an actor.
People often use "born on the street, famous on the street" to describe his fate to turn the road.
Everything must start with Hong Kong ghost director Chen Guo. In 1996, he was working hard to prepare for the filming of "Made in Hong Kong".
With only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in funds and a shortage of film, he wanted to shoot with non-professional actors.
One day he was looking for actors on the street, and he happened to meet Li Cansen, who was skateboarding.
At that time, Li Cansen was tattooed, unusual, and strange, living off a bad teenager; there was not a famous brand under the body, but there was a kind of inadvertent unique temperament.
Chen Guo glanced at his leper outfit, stepped forward to ask him if he was interested in making movies, and left him a business card.
And intuition told Li Cansen: This person must be a liar. Because at that time, there were scammers in Hong Kong who pretended to be scouts to deceive young people who were not deeply involved in the world.
At that time, Li Cansen had been mixing at the bottom, selling fruit at a stall and working as a plumber. One day when he was bored, he accidentally dialed Chen Guo's phone on his business card.
Later, Chen Guo invited him to audition at the company. On the day of the audition, Li Cansen still suspected that Chen Guo was a fraud, and held an electric drill in his hand on the way to go, "No matter how to talk, as long as he asks me for money, I will leave immediately, this is my bottom line." ”
After the audition, considering that he could get 20,000 yuan of remuneration in two months, Li Cansen thought that it was better to try it.
During filming, his family saw that he carried a large bag of clothes every time he went out, sometimes for several days without entering the house, and did not see any money.
For a long time, his family was worried about what crooked road he had taken.
After the killing, his family asked him again and again: Didn't you say that you made a movie, why didn't it come out for so long?
A year later, Chen Guo told Li Cansen: Let's come and see the finished film. He went and was praised by Andy Lau, the executive producer of "Made in Hong Kong": he acted well.
Until "Made in Hong Kong" won the award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, Li Cansen and director Chen Guo were going to attend the award ceremony, and the family did not dispel his doubts.
"My mother said that if I went over there, I would definitely be sold, and I would be cheated or something..."
Later, with "Made in Hong Kong", Lee Chan Sen was nominated for the 34th Golden Horse Awards and won the Best Newcomer Award at the 17th Golden Film Awards.
After that, Li Cansen successfully signed a contract with Andy Lau's company, which is an official debut.
Next, he starred in Chen Guo's "Last Year's Fireworks Were Particularly Numerous", so he was nominated for the 18th Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor.
Perhaps it is the advantages brought to him by his life experience and non-scientific background (on the contrary), coupled with the good tuning of director Chen Guo, in the two films "Hong Kong" and "Last Year", Li Cansen presented a "performance without performance".
His fit with the characters in the film can no longer be summed up by the word "acting", and his strong temperament of Hong Kong's marginal youth has even changed the role and the temperament of the whole movie.
Surprise and regret are the biggest feelings of watching "Made in Hong Kong", and you will also deeply remember Li Cansen's famous line: Countless planes flew in my dreams... Every plane was for Ah Ping.
Later, it was "Dog Bites Dog" starring with Chen Guanxi, who played a policeman with an equally different personality and wandered outside the organization.
In the film, he and Chen Guanxi both contributed to the performance of the film emperor level.
With "Dog Bites Dog", he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award again (oh, as for why Chen Guanxi was not nominated, go to the movie to find the answer).
Without watching Hong Kong films, you may not understand how much people who love Hong Kong films miss that Li Cansen 20 years ago.
As long as his works come out, there will be a team of supporters who will stubble after stubble.
It is said that Lee Chan Sen was one of the earliest artists in Hong Kong to wear Yokosuka embroidery.
In the movie "Made in Hong Kong", because there was no costume sponsorship at that time, the character costumes came from Li Cansen's own clothes.
Although it was bought from a cheap clothing store, in the 90s, the combination of that body was really stylish and trendy.
Around 2003, a friend asked Li Cansen to do the tide brand business together.
So there was the later tide brand Subcrew, the brand name was designed by Lee Chan Sen, composed of "Submarine" and "Crew", which means that a group of people from submarines freely shuttle and fight side by side.
In this way, in addition to the actor, his identity is one more: the boss of the tide brand.
As a good brother of Chen Guanxi, as early as a few years ago, they made a joint "CLOT × Subcrew" on behalf of their respective tide brands.
With the Hong Kong movie "going north", his fashion brand has also been co-branded with the Beijing brand, that is, a coat printed with a skeleton to play table tennis.
"Because table tennis is our favorite sport since childhood, earlier than skateboarding, and it is also our national ball, so we did it together."
Because Li Cansen himself is very obsessed with skateboarding culture, his tide brand has always insisted on the word "street", and the street elements in the design products can be seen everywhere.
It is precisely because of the diversity of colors and unmatched street feelings that his tide brand has always been different, after all, in addition to him, There are three other trend icons in Hong Kong: Chen Guanxi, Mak Junlong and Yu Wenle.
And the public often argues endlessly about the question of the four of them, "who is more fashionable?".
"Do you think Hong Kong people have a personality in dressing?" No. Li Cansen, who is a tide brand himself, often debunks the "illusion of the trend":
"The trend is just a cycle of 10 years, playing around is still like that, just adding and subtracting a little bit, people say 'good style!'
(Trend) is actually led by some idols, just imagine if it is an ordinary person wearing it, it will be laughed at by people as a 'silly boy'..."
He will even tell you frankly: what is popular really does not matter, do not be bound by "popularity", the most important thing is to wear your own attitude.
Not only can he act and understand trends, but li cansen is now a proper slash man: because he is still a singer, DJ, and foodie.
If I were a DJ, would you love me?
Someone asked Li Cansen: Which identity do you like the most, actor, singer, DJ, or tide brand boss? He replied: Actor.
He has always had a passion for movies, as long as there is a scene, even if it is only a small supporting role.
"Even if there is only one shot in the supporting role, as long as it can make a deep impression, it is a success." 90% of the films he's made are supporting characters, but he doesn't mind.
In the future, he hopes to challenge himself to play the role of a marginal person, "I want to try the story of people with flaws, such as physical or psychological problems, sick marginal characters, I hope that through these roles, let everyone feel that there are many people in society who need to be paid attention to." ”
The actor is his most valued identity, but he never regards himself as a star, and still eats fish eggs and food stalls on the street, "only doing what he likes".
"Don't look at his appearance and dress up, in fact, his personality is very easy-going, like a child", Li Cansen in Xie Tingfeng's eyes, free and casual.
Li Cansen even cares about getting old.
Li Cansen, who is already 44 years old, is no longer as bright, angry and free as the wind when he was twenty years old.
Sometimes he will be ridiculed by netizens: Li Cansen is becoming more and more like Teacher Jiukong
Occasionally, he would laugh at himself: fat, the previous clothes could not be buttoned...
But even if it's like nine holes, what about it? As he said when he compared photos on social networks twenty years ago: People will always get old, won't you?
In the entertainment industry, he is recognized as a character actor with "poor appearance, but good acting skills"; in the fashion circle, he has always been a personality hipster with "average appearance but quite style".
At the age of 20, Li Cansen was still an obscure street gangster, who was once recognized by the big director Chen Guohui, and his life trajectory was reversed by "Made in Hong Kong".
You see, when he first played a bad hand, he played his own wonderful. Lee Chan Sen Zhen Life Winner!
