's "Celebrating More Than Years" launched yesterday brought back an actor who was not often active in the public eye- Chen Daoming .
Counting down the roles played by Chen Daoming, the audience is most familiar with the Kangxi he played. In fact, in addition to Kangxi, he also played the role of emperor many times.
plays Puyi in his youth in "The Last Emperor", Xianfeng in "Shangfang Sword", Tongzhi in "A Generation of Demon Empress", Emperor Tianqi in "Jiangshan Fengyuqing," and "Hero" as Emperor Qin Shihuang, " Gou Jian in the play "Let's Taste the Courage".
This time, in the just-launched "Qing Yu Nian", Chen Daoming once again played an emperor- Qing Emperor . Unlike the emperor role played in the past, this Qing emperor is a hidden ultimate conspirator.
As this drama partnered with traffic actors, people can't help but guess the quality of the drama. Fortunately, the Douban scores released on the first day after the broadcast were particularly reassuring. 7.8 points , better than too many domestic dramas.
This is also fortunate, even though he is over 60 years old, Chen Daoming is still an actor who sticks to his heart. In fact, based on the past news about him and the plays he took over, it is not difficult to see Chen Daoming's mentality for acting- does not follow the trend .
In 1984, once the TV series "The Last Emperor" was broadcast, Chen Daoming, who played Puyi, became an instant hit, followed by constant acting invitations. But he didn't lose himself because of this, but settled down to hone his acting skills and fill his hunger with reading.
By 1990, "Siege" found him. In order to play the image of Fang Hongjian, a Shanghai intellectual who has returned from studying abroad, he cultivated his own intellectual temperament and also lost more than 20 catties. Finally, the completion of this role is very high. Therefore, he also became attached to Qian Zhongshu and became a year-end friendship. The exchanges between
and Qian Zhongshu made him realize his limitations and believed that in front of those real literati, he was just a person who played the role of a literati, not a real literati. It is precisely because of this that he is more cautious about the choice of script and roles.
From 2002's "Hero" to 2017's "My First Half Life", whether it is the protagonist or supporting role, every drama, every movie, every role, he is carefully selecting and playing.
According to Ma Yili, an actor of the same crew, when filming "My First Half of Life", even if Chen Daoming's play was over, he would still stop on set to watch other actors act. Ma Yili was puzzled at first, and ran to ask him. The answer was: has different acting styles in each era. He hopes to better understand the new acting styles by watching youth acting.
His pickiness of scripts and roles can be said to be his non-following mentality, which can be traced back to his youthful experience.
His father was a teacher at Tianjin Medical University, and because he worked as an English translator before liberation, he became a key review object when the catastrophe came. Later, in order to avoid going to the mountains and the countryside, Chen Daoming was admitted to Tianjin Renyi by accident and became an actor. The path of
's performance at the beginning was not so smooth. Because he didn't love acting, he only dealt with acting courteously every time. Finally, after being a dragon set without lines for 7 years, he gradually found his mentality to follow the trend. .
Later, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and got married with his wife, who is also a scholar. With a family, he is more aware of his attitude towards career. So he began to delve into acting carefully.
Finally, he ushered in the role of Puyi in "The Last Emperor". In that era, there were not many TV sets and not many TV series. Coupled with his superb acting skills, Chen Daoming soon became well-known throughout the country.
Because of his own circle of friends , he also got to know the director Huang Shuqin. The director not only made him even more popular with "Siege", but also made him more friends, many of whom are literary masters like Qian Zhongshu.
all say that the circle of friends, if you can become friends, it means that you are a type of circle. Putting this sentence on Chen Daoming's body is not fake at all. In addition to literary circles, his friends also have figures in the film and television circles, including the familiar Ge You and Feng Xiaogang.
Talented actors can gather together and become friends. Acting is a big factor in itself.Vegetarian. Not to mention the actor Ge You, even the director Feng Xiaogang has won the actor with "Old Cannon", let alone Chen Daoming's acting skills. When
played "Siege", in order to get a better part of the show, he wore a mandarin jacket to rehearse at home in summer. In the end, he vividly performed the style of "not good at all but good temper", leaving a strong mark in Chinese film history.
Not to mention the unforgivable Nie Mingyu in the TV series "Black Hole". This role can be said to have played the two extremes of cruelty and flesh and blood to the extreme. Even after seeing justice defeated evil in the end, Lian Pianjun couldn't help feeling sorry for Nie Mingyu in his heart.
It is precisely because of Chen Daoming's scholarly family background, high-quality circle of literati and actor friends, and his consideration of acting skills that he did not follow the trend and can become the artist in the eyes of the public today.
Looking back at the current actors, when variety shows are hot, they get together to join variety shows, when online dramas are hot, they get together to play online dramas, and when everyone is playing, they also play when they are playing. There are a lot of titles: what musician, what variety artist, what actor, what host... all the lines are involved, but they can't get the same. Once the name is mentioned, even a masterpiece cannot be imagined.
Lianpian does not praise or criticize this phenomenon vigorously. Lianpian just feels that the development of Chinese film history is much shorter than that of Hollywood, and many unreasonable phenomena may only be necessary for the development of film and television. a process. But the actor's choice of to is different, what else do I have to do? Is it necessary to follow the trend of others? Not necessarily.
Chen Daoming was invited to make a TV series in his early years. He discovered the illogicality of the script and pointed it out, but the director persuaded him: Everyone did the same. He was very angry after hearing this: "Everyone is wrong, so should we also be wrong?"
People are wrong, so should we also be wrong?
Every actor has his own choice, and the filmmaker has no right to blame whose choice, but often the changes in society are changed by individual choices . Take the tens of millions of actors who are now criticized. If the cost of making a film is 200 million, only half of the actors’ wages will be cut off. How can the quality of the film itself be guaranteed? If film quality cannot be guaranteed, how can Chinese films develop well?
The existence of actors like Chen Daoming is the hope of our Chinese movies.
