What are your views on the topic of "actors are too deep into the play to be extracted from the role"? As viewers, we may have a hard time understanding the so-called "too deep into the play".
But some foreign psychologists have also confirmed this statement: when an actor devotes himself to a role for a long time, he will "accept this new self" in his heart, and it is difficult to withdraw in the short term. Zhang Guorong's "Cheng Butterfly Dress" was like this.
There are two actors in the mainland, because of the 2001 cooperation in "Lan Yu", they have not dared to meet for 14 years, and you can imagine how "profound" the role of this movie is in their hearts.
Yes, these two people are Hu Jun and Liu Ye, who are related to the "division brothers"
"Lan Yu" is a film adapted from the best-selling novel on the Internet, due to the particularity of the film theme, director Guan Jinpeng did not "hit the wall" in terms of finding actors. After all, in 2000, the "same-sex" theme was too "avant-garde" for many actors to try. In the end, director Guan Jinpeng found Hu Jun Liu Ye, who also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.
Because Hu Jun was several years earlier than Liu Ye, the two did not know each other at the Central Academy of Drama at that time, and it was precisely because of this cooperation that the shi brothers "recognized each other".
The story of "Lan Yu" is not complicated, but it has "shocked" many people
The main story of the movie is: Chen Handong (Hu Jun), a son of a high-ranking cadre, lingers in the happy scene, men and women are not jealous, and they are merry. Poor college student Lan Yu (Liu Ye) was forced to make a living, sold his body to have a one-night stand with Han Dong, and later became a fixed lover, then broke up, reunited, and finally experienced disasters together, Lan Yu died in a car accident, leaving Han Dong alone.
The overall "very light" of this movie: first by Lan Yu's poor family, in order to make up for tuition fees as the starting point, and then in order to go to school, he had to choose to sell himself to make money, under the guidance of others, he and Chen Handong knew, and the two people had a one-night stand. Chen Handong is a veteran of the love scene, he initially only regarded Lan Yu as one of many playmates, and finally Lan Yu completely fell in love after that...
Director Guan Jinpeng: Actors in "Lan Yu" must have a "sense of emotion"
The director specially looked for actors a year in advance, and after finally determining Hu Jun and Liu Ye, he asked them to eat and live together for several months, and every day they had to quietly watch each other for two hours, and the brain made up: the two big men slept together every day, and they also had to look at each other every day "with emotional pulse", which felt really "chicken skin".
Hu Jun was even asked to be friends with "real" same-sex people, try to truly enter their inner world, and then experience "that same-sex love".
"The purity of the emotions between the same sexes is even far better than the purity of the emotions between men and women, the sense of dependence, the kind of things that do not abandon, really move people." This is what Hu Jun felt when getting along with friends of the same sex!
Due to the particularity of "Blue Yu", the mainland cannot be released, but it does not hinder its "success"
Although "Lan Yu" is not the first "same-sex" theme movie, it is the most "affirmed" in this genre movie. Because at the 2001 Golden Horse Awards: "Blue Yu" was nominated for 9 awards, and finally won 5 "most gold-bearing" awards such as Best Actor, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing and Audience Voting Best Film.
It is worth mentioning that Hu Jun and Liu Ye were both nominated for the "Best Actor" of the year, and finally Liu Ye won the "Golden Horse Film Emperor" for the second time with two "narrow victories". At that time, Liu Yecai had just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, which could be described as "promising".
After announcing that Liu Ye won the "Golden Horse Film Emperor", the media interviewed director Guan Jinpeng and asked: Are you happy that Liu Ye got the "Film Emperor"? The director replied: "I think Hu Jun is also a film emperor, and the two of them sacrificed too much in "Lan Yu". Indeed, even if Hu Jun won the Film Emperor, it was "deserved", but it was a pity that the "double yolk egg" was not popular at that time.
Then, director Guan Jinpeng also said the classic "advice": after the award ceremony, Hu Jun and Liu Ye, the two of you, had better not meet for half a year, and do not contact, otherwise there will be any problems "I am not responsible." Although it feels like a joke, this shows that Hu Jun and Liu Ye did "go too deep into the play" in order to interpret their respective roles.
In fact, two years later, Guan Jinpeng found them to cooperate for the second time
In 2003, Guan Jinpeng specially "pulled Together" Liu Ye of Hu Jun in order to remake the film version of Gong Li's "Painting the Soul" into the TV drama version of "Painting the Soul". On the first day of entering the group, Liu Ye ridiculed Guan Jinpeng: "It is you who tells us that we cannot meet, and it is you who let us meet." Unexpectedly, Guan Jinpeng still said: "With me here, you can't have an accident, and if I'm not there, I can't guarantee it." ”
This "Painting The Soul" is mainly about the story of the female painter Pan Yuliang: and Pan Yuliang is played by the big beauty Li Jiaxin, Hu Jun plays her husband Pan Zanhua, and Liu Ye plays Pan Yuliang's lover Tian Shouxin, in order to make the movie into a TV series, the overall story is more "plump", the director also specially joined another "third party" Yi Nengjing, the lineup is quite luxurious, but unfortunately, this TV series version of "Painting The Soul" did not "set off much waves" in that year.
2015's "Where Did Daddy Go" Made Hu Jun Liu Ye "Hug Each Other" Again
At that time, many viewers said that they were not as exaggerated as the outside world, and it was impossible for them not to see each other for 14 years. However, Liu Ye did say in an interview: "After working with Lan Yu that year, I really didn't meet with my brother in private. Hu Jun also said: If he had known that there was Liu Ye in this parent-child program, he should not have participated.
In the end, the audience also saw the brothers appear together in the "Where Did Daddy Go 3" program. At that time, many audience fans "did not think it was too big" to coax "feelings to rekindle". However, after all, both of them are already married and have children, and they are on the show with their babies, and everyone is still more restrained.
In the show, "brother" and "brother" seem to be very natural, but when they meet, they can feel a little embarrassment across the screen, and the two dare not look at each other. Later, with the show going on, the two slowly "looked at each other and smiled and hugged each other."
Everyone expects: Hu Jun and Liu Ye have cooperated again after 20 years
In the past two years, the mainland has been more "popular" shooting: adaptations of the deeds of historical figures, such things. At the end of October: a film about the true deeds of Mr. Chen Wangdao, president of Fudan University, "Wangdao" debuted at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival, officially finalized and officially announced the cast.
On the day of the film festival, the crew of "Wangdao" was fully starred: Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Wen Yongshan, Xi Meijuan and others, which is also the third cooperation between Liu Ye and Hu Jun after the movies "Lan Yu" and "Painting The Soul". The picture of Hu Jun and Liu Ye walking the red carpet together reappeared after 20 years.
This picture once caused many netizens to sigh: as long as you live long enough, you can see anything!
I remember a passage in a book about acting: the highest state of a good actor is: "Slave to drama" would rather be "tortured for a lifetime" by the role he chooses.
20 years have passed, I believe that Hu Jun and Liu Ye have already come out of the "Blue Yu Love" of that year. At the beginning, they made a very big "sacrifice" in order to play their roles well. But in so many years, I have never seen any of them "ask for credit" in front of the camera, maybe Hu Jun and Liu Ye have also read that book?
