As of press time, the movie " Homecoming " starring Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai has been released for 20 days, with a box office of more than 1.3 billion. Because there is no blockbuster movie released in the near future, there is still room for improvement in the box office of "Returning Thousands of Miles". The current total box office forecast given by the ticketing platform is 1.624 billion.
A more important statistic, the total number of people watching this movie reached 31.682 million. Regardless of the box office or the number of people watching the movie, the entire National Day file "The Journey Home" ranked first, which shows that the audience not only recognizes the quality of the film, but also appreciates it. Wang Junkai's performance is fully affirmed. In the starring lineup of
"The Journey Home", Zhang Yi has already passed the acting skills of other works "Feng Shen", although there is a breakthrough in this film, but it is not amazing; and Wang Junkai, through emotional and excellent performance, got rid of the inherent inherent The idol image of , labeled himself as a powerful actor.
director Rao Xiaozhi has full confidence in Wang Junkai. Cheng Lang, played by him, has to complete his character growth in a 130-minute movie. The difficulty of the performance can be imagined.
The first scene he appeared in the movie was when he and three other colleagues drove to the destination in the Republic of Numia. He was a newborn calf, completely unaware of the existence of the crisis. It brought a lot of trouble, and even almost died in a car bomb; Cheng Lang, who insisted on telling the truth behind
, had a disagreement with Zong Dawei played by Zhang Yi because of whether to tell the truth to his compatriots, and had a fierce quarrel, which indirectly led to Several people acted alone, and Zong Dawei was held hostage by the rebels. Different ideas are hard to distinguish right from wrong, but Cheng Lang's naivety and impulsiveness are obvious.
and the following plot, thanks to Wang Junkai's precise performance, the audience saw Cheng Lang's growth, he led more than 100 people through the desert, out of the war zone, and finally bravely raised the camera, confronted the rebel leader in English and wept In that scene, a very wonderful performance was presented, and Cheng Lang's personality charm was also sublimated.
Wang Junkai also grew up with Cheng Lang. Going back to 2010, 11-year-old Wang Junkai joined the TF family . In 2013, he and Wang Yuan , Yi Yang Qianxi formed the TFBOYS group and officially debuted and served as the captain. Over the next 10 years, the three have gone their separate ways.
From " young you ", " gives you a little red flower ", to " Changjin Lake " and "Miracle · Stupid Child", Yi Yang Qianxi consolidates his career as an actor step by step , The identity of the powerful actor has been stamped and identified by the audience and fans. Compared with Yi Yang Qianxi in the same group,
has always given the impression that Wang Junkai, who focuses on music and the stage, has walked slower as an actor.
In 2015, he participated in " Deadly Pursuit " starring Shange Winton , as a singer, he was a true actor, and he had no sense of presence; Participating in " Great Wall " directed by Zhang Yimou is a very rare opportunity for Wang Junkai to cooperate with international directors and participate in major Hollywood productions. It seems a little insignificant in a group of big-name actors. After
, his resume gradually added works such as " Relief Grocery Store ", "My Hometown and Me", "All-powerful", "1921" and other works, but he still failed to get rid of the impression of "playing soy sauce".
The watershed of Wang Junkai's performance will appear in 2022. This year is enough for him to describe it as "explosive". In "Broken Bridge" released in August, Wang Junkai "self-destructed image", playing the fugitive, sloppy and very sad Meng Chao. Once people saw the spirituality of his performance, a role that contrasted greatly with his own image, Wang Junkai could at least get a passing score.
and the "Returning from Thousands of Miles" is being released, as mentioned above, Wang JunKai's performance is enough to be described as a strong actor, and then I remembered that he graduated from Beijing Film Academy's performance department .
has labelled himself a strong actor with only two works. Wang Junkai, who is just 23 years old, has a lot of stamina, and he can't help but think. Will he, who started a little later, become the next Yi Yang Qianxi? the answer is negative.
The first reason, as the saying goes, "The times create heroes", Yi Yang Qianxi started in the best era of Chinese movies, the box office of Chinese movies hit a record high of 64.2 billion in 2019, and "Youth You" was released that year. . Yi Yang Qianxi successfully seized this opportunity. After winning Hong Kong Film Awards , Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards and other awards, Yi Yang Qianxi quickly gained recognition in the industry, which is why the later "Send You" A Little Red Flower", "Changjin Lake" and other film appointments.
As we all know, starting from 2020, the movie has entered a "cold winter". At this time, Wang Junkai has only begun to exert his strength, but it is already the best development opportunity in the past, so from the overall environment, it is difficult for Wang Junkai to catch up with Yi Yang Qianxi. The second reason for
is that although opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, good film projects are still scarce. "Youth as a Younger" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" are both literary and youth themes, and the audience is not too large. But "Changjin Lake" is different. It currently ranks first in the Chinese film box office with a box office score of 5.757 billion, and the number of viewers has reached 125 million. As the starring, Yi Yang Qianxi has also become an uncompromising national actor. The audience has a very high awareness in the hearts, which will greatly help him in his later acting career.
However, the total investment of "Changjin Lake" is as high as 1.5 billion. Such a large-scale project will not be easy to appear for a long time in the future, so Wang Junkai has at least one less important opportunity than Yi Yangqianxi.
The third reason is that from the performance itself, although Wang Junkai has made obvious progress, compared to Yi Yang Qianxi, there is still a lot of performance in terms of acting skills, understanding of the role, and fit with the role. The gap requires more tempering and accumulation of performance experience.
However, Wang Junkai still has a long way to go in the future. He is currently co-director Gu Changwei, drama bone Ge You, and Geng Le's "Hedgehog" is waiting for release, I believe he will have a better performance.
