Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is being held in Xiamen, and many awards will be announced at the closing ceremony.
Among them, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" won 8 nominations including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, and finally won several awards and attracted the attention of movie fans. The movie starring Xu Zheng and the director is New Humanities Muye.
Xu Zheng will compete with five other actors, including Duan Yihong and Fu Dalong, for the best actor. Whoever gets the flower will be the actor of the year.
Actually, Xu Zheng really doesn't care if he wins or not, because he is a person with a big picture.
In a sense, Xu Zheng now has a lot of tasks in filmmaking, not only to achieve himself, but also to support newcomers and contribute to the successor of China's film industry.
Xu Zheng is also a filmmaker with deep humanistic feelings. Otherwise, how could he discover and shoot such sensitive and profoundly meaningful realism subjects?
01 Accurate vision and devotion to achieve a realist masterpiece
Initially, when Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were preparing to shoot "I'm Not the God of Medicine", they thought that the film would sell well.
However, they chose to hand over the work to the new director Wen Muye, which shows that the two support the younger generation's heart.
Faced with two big guys, Wen Muye felt a little pressure, worried that a good script would fall into his own hands.
However, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao firmly supported him, and they gave Wen Muye enough confidence. Everyone worked together to achieve such a great work.
Why does Xu Zheng give away such a good opportunity? With his talent and fame, he can write and perform himself, and once again prove to the public that he is so good that many people can't match it.
However, Xu Zheng's goal is to present the best work. Therefore, he said modestly, he is not the most suitable.
Xu Zheng and Ning Hao gave Wen Muye a lot of support in the shooting details. And Xu Zheng has no trivial interference, and devoted himself to the shaping of the role. He also wrote a strong stroke in his acting career.
In this movie, Xu Zheng broke through himself and presented a breakthrough performance; he carefully polished the character, worked hard on the character and details of the character, and acted the character alive. It is also commonly called, showing a textbook-like acting. More importantly, Xu Zheng, who is famous for his comedy, has his own unique style in performance.
is foreseeable, in the future, there will definitely be actor trophies waiting for him.
02 The little fresh meat of that year has come to the top of the country, Xu Zheng is a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
In 1994, Xu Zheng graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and polished his body and mind on the stage of drama.
In 2000, the 28-year-old Xu Zheng became famous in "Spring Bright Pig Bajie". Since then, he has created many comedy roles one after another.
However, many people think that comedians are actually harlequins, with little technical content, just cute and happy.
Of course, on the contrary, many people confuse comedy with funny. Funny is of course kitsch, but comedy is actually very elegant. It is too difficult to turn comedy into a classic, so there are few masters.
For example, there is only one Chen Peisi in China, and there are a lot of old dramas who act in the drama.
Chen Peisi believes that comedy has a tragic core. Laughter is the fruit, sadness is the cause. It is difficult to exchange self-torture for the audience's joy, and a low profile to arouse the viewer's superiority.
Comedy is very difficult and the actors are very tired. Many years ago, even if Zhao Benshan prepared a short comedy sketch for the Spring Festival Gala every year, he was under tremendous pressure. In short, people who can perform well in comedy have acting skills. For example, actors include Wei Zongwan, Fan Wei, Huang Bo, etc., and actresses include Song Dandan and Cai Ming.
However, many people want to tear off the label of comedians because they are thankless.
Actually, Xu Zheng performed well in dramas and was very capable of acting. He was only 26 years old in the fourth year of college graduation and won the Magnolia Best Actor Award for the drama "The Color of Stocks".
However, TV movies can only be disseminated to the public because the impact of drama is small. Therefore, many people believe that Xu Zheng is a funny Zhu Bajie. Moreover, he successfully starred in the TV series "Li Wei as an Official", and the response was very good.
Since then, Xu Zheng has filmed many comedy genres in 5 years, among which, "Love Call Transfer", "People on the Journey" have all succeeded, and it has made his funny way more real.
In 2013, "Tai囧" won the domestic film champion at the box office of RMB 1.267 billion, and director and star Xu Zheng became a hit again.
In fact, Xu Zheng just wanted to switch careers to be a director, to see if he could broaden his path. As a result, because of the success of the film, some people raised him to the height of Stephen Chow's "successor".
This hat is too big, Xu Zheng doesn't want to wear it.
He still wants to remove the label of comedian, this is not what he put on deliberately.
He wants to continue filming drama, because he is more willing to take care of life and human survival. Xu Zheng also had this consideration in the comedy, but they were all obscured by laughter.
03 Can accept the applause of flowers, but also can accommodate speculation and questioning
Xu Zheng is more willing to shoot works with humanistic care and works that are valuable to Chinese movies.
In this sense, Xu Zheng is a talented filmmaker, not just an actor.
But some people don't think so, stubbornly and eagerly expecting Xu Zheng's comedy talent to be revealed again. In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, good comedy works are too scarce, and everyone hopes that Xu Zheng can bring surprises.
In 2015, "Hong Kong 囧" was released under much anticipation. While the box office rose, word-of-mouth continued to decline.
Many film critics complained that the filming was terrible, and Xu Zhengjiang was full of questions.
Xu Zheng is very speechless, I am not Jiang Lang, how come I am done? I have two more movies. Are "Master of Hypnotism" and "No Man's Land" also bad? Didn't you see it?
However, there are a group of people who are very stubborn and believe that Xu Zheng is a comedy. Even if their cognition is wrong, they must insist stubbornly.
Some people wished Xu Zheng to the altar. If they didn't push him down, wouldn't they be wrong?
Xu Zheng is well versed in the gloom of human nature, unlike those actresses who like low-level hype, who are willing not to respond to negative news. Just as he disdains to respond to unfounded scandals, his relationship with classmate Xiao Tao is very good, and there is no need for others to make irresponsible remarks. As a public figure,
accepts flowers and applause, but also bears speculation and slander.
Xu Zheng has a lofty goal to promote the development of Chinese films, so he did not start the mode of mass production of comedy films, but settled down, stopped to dig out good works, and was willing to support newcomers.
Xu Zheng came up with the script of "Overtime Cohabitation", but he left the opportunity to the new director Su Lun, who had only been a deputy, and personally supported him as producer. The box office of
was a big hit, close to one billion, and Su Lun became a big director from a rookie.
Su Lun is not well-known. Without Xu Zheng, I am afraid that no one would dare to invest in such a movie, which would be too risky.
Today, the son Yu is long-winded and talks too much. Stop here.
In short, Xu Zheng is able to direct, perform, and produce. He serves the performing arts business and earns a lot of investment. He is an all-rounder in the film and television industry.
became famous as a teenager, so clear-headed, everything relies on works to speak, and is tested by the market.
What is valuable is that Xu Zheng is willing to use his fame and influence to help the newcomers, without gaining credit or speculation, and giving them the greatest support.
New Year's Day 2020 is approaching, and the new film "Favorite" produced by Xu Zheng will be released. The director is Yang Zi. It should be a good work, but everything must be tested by the market.
The reason why we are willing to support Xu Zheng, in a sense, is that we are willing to see a more brilliant future for Chinese films.
