40-year-old Lei Jiayin has actually been in the industry for 20 years. Why do you think he is so popular all of a sudden? Because in this year’s Spring Festival movies, his presence is so strong!
The Spring Festival every year is a must-win period for movies, and it is also the most intense period of "fighting". Especially this year, it’s even more magical! The entire Spring Festival movie finally received a box office of 8 billion, and only 4 movies had the last laugh. Also because competition is too fierce, this year’s Spring Festival stalls have become the Spring Festival stalls with the most cancellations in history.
The reason why Lei Jiayin has such a strong presence in this Spring Festival is precisely because he had the last laugh in both movies he starred in. The two movies "Hot" and "Article 20" have a combined box office of more than 4 billion, which is more than Shen Teng.
In fact, Lei Jiayin has basically been present during the Spring Festival in recent years. In 2021, there will be "Assassination of Novelists" and "The Crowd", in 2023, there will be "Amores" and "Swap Life", and in 2024, there will be "Hot and Furious" and "Article 20". In addition, there are also many non-Spring Festival movies.
So far, the cumulative box office of the movies he starred in has reached nearly 14 billion. Although he ranks 13th, according to this trend, it is not impossible to reach the top five.
Why did Lei Jiayin suddenly become popular? In fact, he didn't become popular all of a sudden.
In his early days, he played many "little man" roles in TV series and already had a strong sense of presence. The one who really became popular was the cheating man Chen Junsheng in "The First Half of My Life" in 2017. Since then, dramas such as "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "Human World" have all received good reputations and ratings.
There is no need to question his acting skills. However, Lei Jiayin feels like a TV star. Many people think that he suddenly became popular because they suddenly realized how he became one of the leading actors in the Spring Festival show?
Regarding this question, the answer given by some netizens is: is unmatched in the "waste" track!
is really dumbfounding. I don’t know whether this is a compliment or a disservice to him! However, this statement seems to be very insightful!
Lei Jiayin has a big head that is almost unrivaled in the entertainment industry, and small eyes with single eyelids. As long as his face slumps a little, the feeling of grievance will come up in an instant.
Moreover, many of the roles he plays are of little men who are afraid of their wives. For example, in "Article 20", he and Ma Li played a middle-aged couple. The two quarreled, and he could only bear it all.
Actors with this style don’t really have many domestic entertainments, but they are not without them, such as Xu Zheng.
Whether it is the early TV series "Spring and Pig" or the later "Love Call Transfer", "Blissful" and "囧" series of movies, his image and style have a strong personal touch.
However, Xu Zheng has been more of a director and producer in recent years, allowing Lei Jiayin to reach the extreme in this track.
In the final analysis, the type of actors needed for movies will change. What remains unchanged is that no matter what type of actor he is, in the end, whether his acting skills can support him to successfully portray a character is the key!
Objectively speaking, actors such as Lei Jiayin, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang are not typical handsome guys. However, they all have very memorable faces, and with the blessing of acting skills, they are still very popular in movies!
