A few days ago, the nomination list for the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards was officially announced. "Under the Sun" led the way with 16 nominations, "Goldfinger" and "Diary of a Teenage Girl" each received 12 nominations, while the mainland films "Man Jiang Hong" and "All or Nothing" Nominated for Best Asian Chinese Film.
In terms of Best Actor, Tony Leung was nominated for this award again for the first time in 10 years with "Goldfinger", while Dapeng was also nominated for the first time with "The Eighth Suspect".
Dapeng has already won the Best Actor at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival with this film. Now he has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor again with this film. I have to say that Dapeng really won this year. Numb.
Dapeng also sent a series of ahha messages to express his happiness.
then forwarded the nomination list and bluntly said, "This is so unreal!!!"
After that, he once again posted a message to express his gratitude to the producers, directors, screenwriters and other colleagues on the crew, and said "Hong Kong movies have deeply influenced me and shaped me." It is a huge exclamation point in my life to be shortlisted for the Best Actor in the Academy Awards. I will continue to work hard! "
In 2008, Dapeng officially entered the film industry. From actor to director, along the way, After going through ups and downs, it has finally reached its highlight moment.
previously won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival with the film "The Eighth Suspect". Now he has been nominated for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards again. This is the first time in his acting career a new pinnacle.
Now, in addition to being nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, he also starred in the film "The Annual Party Can't Stop!" ” has also hit new box office records, becoming the highest-grossing movie starring Dapeng.
When he was a guest in the "Fan Deng" live broadcast room, Dapeng was still sad about this, because after "Pancake Man", the box office of any movie he starred in or directed has never exceeded 1 billion again. Of course, he has suffered many years of His complaints have been tormenting him. But with the "Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" "The box office exceeded the 1.2 billion mark. Dapeng has undoubtedly entered a new stage and can say goodbye to the past completely.
But saying goodbye to the immature Dapeng does not mean that the past is useless. Without the Dapeng of the past, how could there be the new and more mature Dapeng today.
Four years after entering the film industry, Dapeng began to become a director, but at the beginning he did not directly direct major films, but started with short plays. In the series of short plays "Men", he made full use of his network resources, directed, wrote, and acted. He caught up with the trend, had a place in the short play industry, and accumulated rich experience.
Then we started to prepare for the big movie "Pancake Man".
"Pancake Man" was officially released in the summer of 2015, and the box office was booming all the way. It finally took in 1.159 billion at the box office, ranking eighth on the box office list that year. Dapeng's first big-screen movie challenge has such outstanding results, which is obviously the result of years of accumulation. However, the film's reputation was not ideal, and it also caused him to be criticized.
But this is the first film after all, but for Dapeng, it has endured more pressure.
He is also well aware of his own shortcomings and problems, and then continues to learn and work hard, and is not in a hurry to shoot a second film.
In 2017, the second self-directed and starred film "Sewing Machine Band" was officially released. Indeed, Dapeng has grown and matured a lot, and this film finally passed the test of reputation. Although the box office of 459 million is far less than the first film, for Dapeng, it can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of film directors.
The next ones are "Auspicious" and "Auspicious Ruyi", a short film and a big movie. Dapeng has made great attempts in style, challenging niche art films, and successfully transitioning from short films to major movies. The short film "Auspiciousness" won the Best Feature Short Film Award at the 55th Golden Horse Awards, and the big movie "Auspicious Ruyi", although not ideal at the box office, hit a new high in word-of-mouth ratings. Dapeng after
also entered the fast lane.
From "Keep You Safe" to "Enthusiasm", Dapeng has made a qualitative improvement in terms of acting skills and directing ability, and Dapeng has made another subversive performance in "The Eighth Suspect" try. In the
film, he changed his appearance. There is a huge contrast in body shape and appearance. He interprets the characteristics of the characters in different stages with great precision.
In the end, he stood on the highest podium and conquered the judges with his acting skills.
He said: "This is a very long, hard and very happy dream." Receiving this honor made him believe that "no matter how unknown, ordinary, and undervalued he is, he will one day shine." ."
"The annual meeting cannot be stopped! ” not only pushed the reputation of the movie he starred in to a new high, but also created a new high in the box office. This moment, he has been waiting for ten years and spent ten years.
Although Dapeng is still scolded and complained about today, he has proven himself step by step with excellent works and slapped those people in the face.
This time, he was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for the first time. As Dapeng said, it was a huge exclamation point in his life!
Although it was only a nomination, he was more excited than winning.
However, he will continue to work hard!
Hard work never ends. Even though Dapeng has entered his forties, he still pursues his movie dream with an open mind and piety, not to mention ordinary people like us. Although life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, we will not be able to achieve achievements like Dapeng. Although we are ordinary, we need to work hard persistently, pursue our dreams bravely, and never give up or give up!
