mentions Wu Zhenyu’s name, the first feeling it gives is that it’s a pity that a powerful actor who holds the role almost impeccably has made countless movies. In recent years, there are only a handful of classic works that can be obtained. But the regret of movie fans is also the regret of Hong Kong movies. There is a saying that makes sense, called "works make actors". The number of
movies released every year is very large, and there are not many that can be retained without being eliminated by time. No matter how good an actor's acting skills are, if the quality of the movie is not good enough, his/her performance will also be forgotten. But you have to know that performance is only one part of a movie, and other factors are beyond the actor's control. This is also the most helpless place for actors.
Some time ago, this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony struck. Among the five finalists for the best actor, the most notable one has to look at Wu Zhenyu, which is very similar to his character, but in Before the Academy Awards, 58-year-old Wu Zhenyu couldn't hold his head up.
, as the first of the "Four Evils" in Hong Kong-produced films in the new era, has been playing the role of evil and madness but pure heart in Hong Kong films under the title of "East Evil". Even if he won the Golden Horse Award Winner and Best Actor Award, the local Golden Image Award never gave him the title of Winner.
Wu Zhenyu debuted quite early. Like other stars, he has experienced soy sauce and silly tricks, and he has come to today without one step. Although he was earlier than Liu Qingyun, but he did not have good luck and opportunities. Liu Qingyun became the leading role as soon as he debuted, while Wu Zhenyu has been running the lead on TVB in the first few years after his debut. It was not until 1985 that the chances of performance increased greatly, but he played the role. The roles are dominated by bad guys.
The one that impressed me most was "Brother Difficult" in 1997 with Luo Jialiangnan, the other is "Climbing the Clouds" in 2003 and "Climbing the Clouds 2" in 2013. Then in 1997, he and Liu Qingyun collaborated on the birth of a prefix, and then gained a good reputation in the movies "Gunfire" and "Exile". In addition, the Burst Criminal Police in 1999 made him Won the best actor award, these themes of movies, all of their unique interpretation methods have been brought to the extreme, and they are quite brilliant among many actors.
is worth mentioning is Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs 2" in 2003. After that, Wu Zhenyu maintained his understanding of the roles he played relatively easily. It may also be that the previous image is too deep. Gradually, Wu Zhenyu is trying to take a diversified role line. Only when the audience has a certain kind of loss and doubts whether he can get another career peak.
In 2004, Wu Zhenyu won the 23rd Best Actor nomination by virtue of Ni Yongxiao. He was very confident in himself and claimed: If I compare with Andy Lau, I believe that my acting skills are definitely better than him. No matter what the result is, I will lose the election for each one. The actors are sorry, including Andy Lau. Finally announced the result, Andy Lau won with "Big Brother". At that time, many fans also complained about Wu Zhenyu, thinking that the Golden Image Award owed Wu Zhenyu a movie king.
Lian Wu Zhenyu himself claimed with grief: In this circle, it is not about strength, but about luck, personnel, and connections. The implication is unfair. At the 31st Golden Statue Awards in 2012, Andy Lau proclaimed himself emperor for the third time, and the outsiders commented on him relatively negatively, saying that he was not easy to get along with, his personality was too straightforward, he spoke casually, and was too sensitive.
may also usually take the role of the play, most of the movie roles are unpleasant, either crazy or villain, and most of the movies in which they participated are bad movies. Secondly, in reality, he is a relatively straightforward person, speaking straighter, and therefore not Too much welcome, this will also have a great impact.
Gradually, a generation of celebrity-level figures continue their alternative route, let alone playing small roles, and later entered the mainland film scene, but has never encountered a role that can push his acting skills to the extreme. Life is like a river. Everyone is in it. It depends on whether you choose to follow the current or go upstream.
