In this summer season, the costume suspense drama "Tang Gui 2" is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

A "three-no drama" that has no top artists, is not a popular IP, and has no marketing, it is actually "killing everyone" in the field of domestic dramas where involution has become the norm.

Douban scored .9, and ended with .5 points . It is the domestic drama that ranked second in reputation this year, only after "My Altay".

Some netizens admitted that could get the 10 points just for "The Death of Wu Zuo" (a chapter in the play).

is better than the first season in terms of plot and fighting scenes.

Admittedly, the drama is good to watch.

But the actors in the play who have wonderful performances are also not bad.

For example: Chen Chuang.

In "Tang Gui 2", he still plays the role of the "old naughty boy" Fei Jishi . He is unkempt and addicted to alcohol, but he has a righteous heart and his IQ is always online.

In the play, there are two details that Chen Chuang completed very well. Based on this, he completely grasped the essence of this character.

First, when dividing the pie, he always takes the smallest piece and eats it with relish.

Secondly, in the case of "Tongtianxi", he and Xijun were in the city. Facing Tongtianxi's siege, he said one sentence, "We will travel west together in life, and we will go to hell together in death.".

Looking closely at the changes in his expression, there is both generosity and compassion.

At this moment, Master Fei Ji’s kindness and expression were vividly interpreted by Chen Chuang.

To be honest, Chen Chuang is a good actor.

can act and can act, but his acting career seems not to be very good, and he has always been tepid.

is a bit like Fu Dalong , but there are some differences.

1. The most difficult time was to eat three-yuan noodles. Because he played a dog and completed his first "out of the circle" role in his life.

Chen Chuang was not good-looking, and could even be said to be very ordinary.

With small eyes, a flat nose, a thin face, and an average height, she can only be called comely. For a person like

, even if he is the best among Nortel undergraduates, his career in acting will not be smooth.

Sure enough, after graduation, when his classmates began to stand out, he was still "fighting" for the opportunity to play a small role.

When it was most difficult, he couldn't even solve the most basic problems of food and clothing.

In the interview, Chen Chuang said that before 2004, he had almost no movies to film.

Once, he was eating noodles outside. When choosing what kind of noodles to eat, he hesitated because the four-dollar noodles had meat, but the three-dollar noodles did not.

In the end, he chose the three-dollar meal. Although the food was less and there was no meat, at least he could eat enough.

In 1997, when Zhang Guoli was filming "Dangerous Times", Chen Chuang was one of the supporting actors.

On the set, Chen Chuang met Zhang Guoli, who was already famous, so he plucked up the courage and approached Zhang Guoli to ask Zhang Guoli about his performance.

For such a motivated young man, Zhang Guoli cherishes talents very much.

Especially after learning about Chen Chuang's life dilemma, Zhang Guoli even said this, "If you don't have anything to eat in the future, come to my crew to get some food."

This sentence looks like "charity", but in At that time, Chen Chuang's ears were filled with the sounds of nature.

Not only that, Zhang Guoli also gave Chen Chuang many opportunities. Even the latter appeared in four "Kangxi Private Interviews".

Although he doesn’t have many roles in the play, every scene is an exercise.

In 2005, he went to visit Zhang Guoli's crew and happened to meet a makeup artist who also came to visit the crew. After the makeup artist met Chen Chuang, he recommended him to the crew of "Lotus Lantern" to play the role of Roaring Dog.

Playing a dog, for Chen Chuang, there is no psychological burden, after all, he is not famous.

How to play this role well? Chen Chuang is in trouble.

So he turned himself into a "dog peeping" person, looking for stray dogs everywhere to observe.

In the end, he simply kept several dogs and stayed with them all day long, imitating their behaviors.

However, this is not the most difficult.

During the filming, his clothing style was cape + jumpsuit .

This seemingly silky jumpsuit is sweltering in summer and freezing in winter, making it very difficult to take off and put on. Therefore, in order to avoid going to the toilet and delaying progress, Chen Chuang did not even dare to drink more water.

In this way, Chen Chuang completed his first "out of the circle" role in his life.

In the play, Chen Chuang did show his superb acting talent.

Especially the sense of tragedy under the comedy role of Roaring Dog is released to the greatest extent.

For example: The scene where Erlang Shen was besieged and the roaring dog knelt down to die for its master is still fresh in my memory.

From this point alone, you can see Chen Chuang's acting skills.

Prior to this, although Chen Chuang had appeared in many film and television dramas and had outstanding performances, most of them were supporting roles and did not even have a few scenes.

The reason is that his ordinary appearance cannot support the directors' considerations.

2. After "Fugui", I saw the cruel laws of the entertainment industry in the actor Chen Chuang.

Perhaps, for Chen Chuang, 2005 was really his "lucky year".

After "Lotus Lantern", the drama version of "Alive" "Fugui" started filming.

Originally, the male protagonist of this drama had been decided on Jiang Wen. But before filming started, Jiang Wen's schedule conflicted, so the director had no choice but to find someone else.

Coincidentally, someone happened to recommend Chen Chuang, so Chen Chuang got his first male lead drama in his life.

Although this is something that excites Chen Chuang, it also brings him a huge challenge.

Because this role in the movie version of "Alive" was played by Ge You.

Zhuyu first, it is not easy for Chen Chuang to perform well.

Therefore, after confirming to play this role, Chen Chuang first did his homework.

not only read the original work repeatedly, but also visited many elderly people, always pondering the inner world of the characters. Sometimes, when dreaming at night, he would shout "家尊".

It was with such investment that Chen Chuang had a screen explosion.

He interpreted a character with a long life span from 20 to 60 years old very vividly.

In the play, there is a scene where Fugui's son dies. In the

scene, he almost held it in one breath until all his emotions had changed. Later, he said that if the director hadn't called to stop, he might have been out of breath and had an accident.

After "Fugui" was launched, Chen Chuang was recognized by the audience and was nominated for the Best Actor at the Shanghai TV Festival.

In terms of Douban ratings, his drama version even surpassed the movie version and became a veritable classic.

Even the original author Yu Hua agreed with Chen Chuang’s performance.

Unfortunately, after this drama, Chen Chuang was forgotten again.

Everyone remembers that his role is Roaring Dog.

So, "Magic Phone" asked him to play the role of the King of Yellow Eyebrows, and his makeup was almost exactly the same as that of the Roaring Dog; "Qing Yun Zhi" asked him to play the wild dog Taoist, still a dog.

It seems that in the entertainment industry, acting well is not the core competitiveness of actors.

More often, what is needed is the actor’s popularity and discussion.

And when Chen Chuang won the Best Actor Award for his "Kong Erpi Enters the City" and gave his speech, he was still asked about "The Roaring Dog".

It seems that the identity of the actor only makes him have a higher discussion value with his former identity.

Look, "traffic is king" seems to have always been one of the cruel laws in the entertainment industry.

It can even allow some rising actors to "taunt" him openly.

Chen Chuang once said that during a shooting, he saw a group scene being filmed at the scene, so he kindly gave the protagonist a suggestion, "Would it look better if the protagonist takes the initiative?"

He The advice was very tactful and sincere.

But the lead actor replied disdainfully, "Do you really want it?"

Chen Chuang, who has been in the industry for decades, even though he is a veteran actor and movie king, has no reputation, so he does not have the right to "suggest".

Perhaps, Chen Chuang has become accustomed to such things over the years.

But I still couldn’t help but feel sad, "This industry has become like this, so we have to settle for the next best thing. If we can’t sing a part, it’s fine. There’s no other performance, so just do this!"

3, He is just doing it Only actors like this are worthy of our liking for things we love.

Chen Chuang is 49 years old. He has been in the industry for 22 years and has never been popular.

However, he has always loved acting.

Chen Chuang has been aiming to be admitted to an art school since he was a child. Although he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in the 1994 college entrance examination, it was a self-funded junior college.

The teachers encourage them that if they perform well, they will have the opportunity to transfer to undergraduate studies.

While others were enjoying college life, Chen Chuangmou worked hard and got the transfer quota with the first overall ranking.

After he came out of school, he often "forced" himself for filming.

In "Kong Erpi Enters the City", the disabled teacher he plays needs to be tough.

But the feeling the makeup gave him was not realistic enough.

For this reason, when he joined the group, he neither cut his nails nor took a good bath, just to make his temperament more suitable for the character.

Sometimes, he feels really itchy and uncomfortable, but he will still "force" himself to endure it.

It can be seen that he loves it very much and is very attentive.

In "The Three Brigades" , the old father he played only had a one-minute scene, but he was the first to arrive at the filming scene.

In order to maintain the character's sad mood, he even refused others' greetings.

Therefore, this scene is enough to impress people and make everyone praise it again and again.

For Chen Chuang, filming is filming, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role.

All he has to do is devote himself wholeheartedly to live up to the audience's expectations!

This is an actor worthy of our liking.

In recent years, Chen Chuang has appeared in more and more dramas.

But this face is still not familiar to everyone.

Regarding this, Chen Chuang just smiled and said "If you can't remember it, don't talk about it anymore."

Compared with these so-called fame, he seems to care more about how to make good movies.

Guo Jing, the director of "Tang Wei", liked Chen Chuang's performance and realism very much. He once said, "I didn't even want him to leave during the filming of this scene."

Chen Chuang took the scene step by step. My own acting career is vividly presented to everyone. There are no shortcuts, and there is no need to strain your brain to become a "wanderer".

Playing well is what a real actor should care about!
