Can the "post-90s" director Wei Shujun, who is favored by the Cannes Film Festival, and his partner Huang Xiaoming, the veteran actor who plays a person with intellectual disabilities for the first time, win a Golden Goblet Award from the Shanghai International Film Festival?
html On the afternoon of June 16, the 26th Shanghai Film Festival Golden Goblet Award main competition shortlisted film "Sunshine Club" held an official press conference. Director Wei Shujun, starring Huang Xiaoming, Zu Feng and others attended the event. Huang Xiaoming said in an interview that he admired director Wei Shujun's talent very much, so he joined the crew without hesitation and quickly gained 30 pounds for the role.
Don't be a domineering president
Be a "rubber man"
"Sunshine Club" is Wei Shujun's new directorial work after "The Mistake by the River", which was a double hit at the box office. Wu You, who has always been a child, supports each other with his mother and brother and faces the ups and downs of life together. Huang Xiaoming, who plays Wu You in the movie, presents the audience with a special image of a moon-faced, pot-bellied, honest but persistent character. Everyone can no longer see the shadow of his former "domineering president".
Huang Xiaoming said that he liked the script written by Wei Shujun very much, especially the family portraits and atmosphere portrayed by the director, "I am from Shandong, and I have had a strong sense of family since I was a child, so I like this story very much." "Closely, Huang Xiaoming experienced life in a charity for special groups for a month, eating, chatting, living and studying with people with intellectual disabilities, and then fed back his observations and feelings to the character.
Many viewers who watched the movie in advance were surprised by Huang Xiaoming's subversive appearance in the movie. According to him, when experiencing life, he found that many parents of special groups love their children very much, so these children will be a little fatter. . For this reason, he deliberately gained about 30 pounds before joining the group, thinned his hair and eyebrows, and wore dentures to try to "remove" Huang Xiaoming's shadow from his appearance.
Huang Xiaoming said that he did not hesitate and could not wait to become "Wu You". This was not only due to his appreciation for director Wei Shujun, but also from his desire to become a "rubber man" in the field of acting. "I can Change yourself at any time and become the character in the movie. Although the whole process is painful, when the character you create is successful, your adrenaline will make you very happy. I really like this feeling of constantly breaking through and changing myself."
If you want to hear unfavorable advice
You can’t just listen to good words
When sharing his experience on how to improve his performance level, Huang Xiaoming said that whether he is a senior actor or a new actor, he needs to continue to learn and practice, “Real actors need practice. Sometimes what you learn in school is different from whether you can use it and how well you use it later. Therefore, many actors find themselves having problems of this kind during practice."
Huang Xiaoming became famous as soon as he entered the industry. He also shared that it is not a bad thing for young actors to encounter setbacks. "If you become popular too early, it may not be a good thing for the second half of your life."
Huang Xiaoming said frankly that he has often reminded himself these years A team member asked everyone to tell him the truth, "I said you must tell me what my problem is. I don't want to just listen to the good things, I want to listen to some bad things, so that I can be more helpful to me next time." There are benefits to creating."
