conquered women before the age of 40, and conquered Oscars after the age of 40. From TV series to movies, his life can be called legend
. He is the protagonist of our story today, Matthew McConaughey.
When mentioning Hollywood, who can everyone think of? The acting Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the classic and cool Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Titanic" are named "Little Plum" Lai Leonardo DiCaprio?
These actors who can be called perfect scores in the Hollywood acting school are all first-tier Hollywood actors, but they all have a common ideal, that is, the Oscar actor. Oscar actor, it's difficult to say. But today, the protagonist of our story, Matthew McConaughey, although he has not yet jumped to the position of a Hollywood star, he has already won the Oscar in 2014.
Why can he surpass these Hollywood first-line actors and win the Oscar?
Then we have to start with the legendary acting career of Matthew McConaughey.
1. Conquer a woman before the age of 40
Matthew McConaughey was a handsome guy with good looks when he was young. When he was young, he wanted to work in the lawyer industry. Later he was inspired by "The World's Greatest Salesman". Changed the profession into a movie.
So his life started all the way.
in 1993, he was fancyed by director Richard Linklater, starred in the first movie "young frivolous". In this movie, he starred in a high school student, which for him who was in his adolescence at the time, should have appeared in his true colors. At that time, just by showing off his figure and appearance, he was able to attract a large group of beautiful female classmates to watch. In the movie "Young and Frolic", his role is a pure idol actor.
For Matthew McConaughey, although he hasn't tempered his acting skills too much, his actor career began to slowly get on track. Later, he got the opportunity to cooperate with Renee Zellweger. In "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" starred by in 1995, he played a cold-blooded killer. He tried the villain for the first time and achieved good success. . Since then, he has also received the science fiction film "Time and Time Contact", which scored as high as 8,4 points. According to this trend, Matthew McConaughey should soon be able to leap to the status of Hollywood's first-line actor. Until in 2005, he starred in the science fiction films "Sahara" and "Launch Failure", and then faded out of the movie circle.
However, just when everyone thought he would continue to bring good movies to everyone, he suddenly became romantic.
He began to take on a lot of romantic comedy dramas, from "Wedding Expert" and "The Ghost of Ex-Girlfriends" to "The Lai Family". These love action dramas he starred in made him quickly win a group of female fans. Sought after and accumulated a lot of popularity. With the consumption concept dominated by the fan economy, TV dramas can indeed bring a lot of money to stars, but this is not good for the long-term development of an artist.
He created a playboy image for the audience on the screen, showing off his sexy muscular figure, showing off his rhetoric and appearance at any time. With these superficial skills, Matthew McConaughey can easily make money. To a lot of money. When he was young at the peak of his appearance, his appearance was not inferior to Xiao Lizi. This also laid a certain foundation for his future development in Hollywood.
Goodness, who doesn’t want such an appearance?
But if you can’t rely on acting to conquer the audience, then the actor can only be an actor. Only relying on the bubble economy of traffic, idols and fans will not be recognized by the audience for acting. This is just like the hot fan economy in the past few years in China. Movies starring in a variety of small fresh meats, at first, the investor association believed that they could attract a large number of fans into the cinema to buy tickets, but the movies that came from the main performances of some small fresh meats, the box office But billions of things happen from time to time.
The little fresh meat without acting skills can't conquer the audience and naturally won't get the audience's approval.
and later after the release of "Wandering Earth", "I am not a medicine god" and other films with combined acting skills and film quality, this was once again confirmed.
As we just said, Matthew McConaughey seemed to be aware of this problem earlier, and he began to hone his acting skills.
Two, after the age of 40, conquered the Oscars
and Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and other Hollywood first-line actors of the same age have become popular. He felt that it was time for the 40-year-old to make some changes.
finally, in 2011, , he brought the "transformation work" of "Lincoln Lawyer" back to the public eye.
In the "Lincoln Lawyer", he realized his dream of becoming a lawyer. In the film, he helped people at the bottom of society solve lawsuits, playing the image of a rogue lawyer who is both righteous and evil and strictly adheres to the moral bottom line. This movie has a rating of 7.8, and the movie that Matthew McConaughey took does not seem to have a bad story. Of course, this should be mostly attributed to his own acting skills. After all, when you were young, some of the roles you starred in hadn't worked hard, and you can make money by showing off your figure and appearance. Who would fight for acting? However, after the age of 40, he may not be able to show off his appearance, so he started the road of acting.
His acting skills are open again.
2012 , "Dallas Buyers Club" starring Matthew McConaughey tells the story of an AIDS man he played. The content of this story can refer to the mainland movie "I am not a medicine god", the same theme, almost the same story. The mental patient played by Matthew McConaughey contracted AIDS because of having an affair with multiple women and having a messy sex life. After taking the free AIDS drug AZT provided by the government, he found that the drug was not only useless but also accelerated the rate of death.
So in order to be able to find more effective specific drugs, he did not hesitate to go abroad to smuggle imported drugs and find alternative drugs. He and two friends opened a Dallas club. The members of the club are AIDS patients, most of whom are gay men. Later, his smuggling of drugs was stopped by the Drug Administration and drug dealers. He was originally told by doctors that he could only live for 30 days, but he lived for seven years with his tenacious vitality and desire to survive. In the past seven years, he has constantly fought against the disease and made his final contribution to the cause of AIDS.
In this movie, Matthew McConaughey lost 50 catties in order to play an AIDS man.
From a sexy uncle to a scrawny AIDS patient, his "Oscar winner" has taken root since he lost weight.
It is with the exquisite acting skills in "Dallaska Buyers Club" that Matthew McConaughey won the Oscar winner in 2014.
In the same year, the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio failed miserably. Speaking of, in this "Wolf of Wall Street", there is a five-minute scene that is rivalry between Matthew McConaughey and Xiao Lizi. In this scene, Matthew McConaughey's acting skills were blown by the audience, and the audience agreed that Matthew McConaughey's five-minute acting skills have surpassed Xiao Lizi.
Perhaps it is these five minutes that determine the acting level of Matthew McConaughey and Xiao Lizi.
But speaking of it, the heroine of "Titanic" said that the actor of this movie was originally starred by Matthew McConaughey, but was later picked up by Xiao Li. It can be said that Xiao Li robbed Matthew McConaughey of the opportunity that year, and Matthew McConaughey took away Xiao Li’s Oscar actor in 2014. At that time, the little plum sitting under the stage of the awards ceremony, Chongao had not realized his dream for many years. When Matthew McConaughey pointed at him on the stage, he had already left unwilling tears.
In this life rivalry between Matthew McConaughey and Xiao Li, Xiao Li has already lost to Matthew McConaughey.
In 2014, the epic science fiction film "Interstellar" starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway was released. This film won a nearly high box office worldwide, with a score of 9.3 points. It won both audiences and peers. In this movie, Ma plays the role of an astronaut father. While looking for a new home on an extraterrestrial journey, he also feels the aging of his own children on Earth over time.
has to say that when his children in the movie age with the earth time, his own age has never changed. The feeling of powerlessness and paleness brought by time like seems to isolate one’s own children from one’s own for a century or two. The regret, pain, reluctance and regret brought by time make the emotion of this movie especially Infectious.
This classic sci-fi film also became the benchmark of sci-fi films and became another masterpiece of Nolan director.
In the same year, in 2014, in the first season of the TV series "True Detective", the appearance of Matthew McConaughey allowed the audience to see what a real acting school is. He won the American Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for this TV series.
In the following years, he participated in many movies.
Until this year, his acting has been so prosperous, and the sci-fi mystery film "Tranquility", which was once again co-operated with Anne Hathaway, has been released in North America and won a good box office.
Matthew McConaughey, who conquered the Oscars, has successfully transformed from an entertainment industry "vase beauty" to an acting actor.
3. The transformation of Matthew McConaughey, just like everyone's efforts,
The transformation of Matthew McConaughey, just like every effort, develops in the direction of one's own hope and advances toward one's dream. He used his strength to prove that the idol faction can be transformed into a strength faction, and that the strength faction can also be a very handsome idol faction. From the sublimation of idols to powers, Matthew McConaughey has changed not only his mentality and age, but also his wisdom and maturity with age.
When we see a "little meat" turning into a man, we may not understand his experience, but what we must be able to know is that he has grown up and he has matured.
His proficient acting skills have proved himself and his opponent Leonardo DiCaprio through the practice of the film again and again. In Hollywood, it is really a blessing to have a star who is comparable in acting skills to compete with each other. A pair of rivals like DiCaprio and McConaughey is very lucky to meet in their acting career. Both will be more advanced and more successful as a result.
Just as Xiaoli won the Oscar in 2016 with "Wild Hunter", everything will come, everything is on the way.
Although 40-year-old Matthew McConaughey has lost his youthful capital and advantages, he is still able to gain audience recognition with his acting skills. This is rare for an actor who has passed 30 years without confusion. Matthew McConaughey didn't achieve much when he was young, and awards such as Oscars were also won by him later.
The legendary life of Matthew McConaughey provides us with a good example of life.
I think that everyone should have an "Oscar" in their heart, which is not far from the future, waiting for us to win through unremitting efforts and struggle. The small achievements we make at every step are for greater achievements in the future.
Therefore, we should keep working hard until we get the "Oscar" in our hearts.
