Our reporter Liang Yibo Jingyi Shali/Wen
In the Korean entertainment circle, if you are labeled as "Zhong Wudao", it means that your acting skills and status are at the top of the pyramid.
The top of the pyramid is located in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. Take Seoul Metro Line 3 or Line 4 in Korea and get off at Chungwu Road Station. You will find this road different. Movie posters and cinemas can be seen everywhere. The "Big Bell Award" with strong credibility is awarded here, and a series of Korean movies that are famous in the history of movies are produced here. And these films have also made a group of real actors.
Song Kanghao:
The face of Korean movies
Song Kanghao, 52, with a big face and a chubby face, was nicknamed "Uncle Cake" by China fans.
This unremarkable Korean actor is a frequent visitor to many film awards such as South Korea Qinglong Film Award, Best Art Award and Big Bell Award. Song Kanghao also has a bigger title, which is called "Spokesman of Korean Films".
Song Kanghao once participated in the movie "Life and Death Spy" directed by Jiang Digui. In that year, the number of people watching movies even exceeded that of "Titanic", which was considered as a turning point in the development of Korean film industry. He has cooperated with director Feng Junhao for four times, and his works include memories of murder, Han River Monster, Snow Country Train and Parasite. He collaborated with another famous Korean director, Park Chan-wook, in the films Garrison JSA, I Want Revenge and Bat. In Defender, he is a civil rights lawyer, and in Xiaozidong Barber, he is a simple and honest barber.
Song Kanghao has appeared in more than 30 films. At the 20th Busan Film Festival on 20 15, he publicly stated that the most impressive work in his 20-year performance career was The King of Mao Bunkers. In that movie, he played a little guy who was very happy and tried to get rid of the status quo. The details of the film are a bit like Stephen Chow movies, and the Cantonese version is dubbed by Stephen Chow himself.
Song Kanghao went from a nobody to the position of film emperor. Determined to learn acting, he was admitted to the Department of Radio Performing Arts of Busan University of Commerce. Song Kanghao did military service in college, and he was 23 years old after he was discharged. He chose to drop out of school and become a stage actor. After several years of stage experience, he entered the film circle at the age of 30.
Song Kanghao's performance has no unnecessary skills, and the ordinary face will not be abrupt in the crowd, and it can easily take away all the attention. Someone once asked Song Kanghao about his acting skills, and he replied with a puzzled look: "In this way, the performance is coming."
In an interview with this reporter, Han Xiao, a researcher of Korean film history and director of Shanghai Film Criticism Society, mentioned the film Yang Mi directed by Li Cangdong: "Song Kanghao's performance in it is no less than that of Quan Douyuan (Quan Douyuan won the Best Actress Award at the 60th Cannes Film Festival for this film), but he didn't steal the limelight at all, and it was a very low-key cooperation."
At this year's Cannes Film Festival, after Bong Joon ho won the Palme d 'Or for his film Parasite, he knelt down and gave a "gift" to the starring Song Kanghao. Song Kanghao winked and laughed.
Cui Minzhi:
Unlike normal people
Cui Minzhi is a professional villain. In the movie old boys, he plays the avenger of eating octopus raw; In Seeing the Devil, he is a perverted serial killer. In Superbody, he becomes a violent gangster again.
Cui Minzhi's face also says "lose face". There is a very famous poster in old boys. He was holding a hammer, his face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce. 20 14, Cui Minzhi came to China to promote the film "Battle of Liang Ming", in which he played Li Shunchen, a famous Korean anti-Japanese. In the publicity activities, some viewers joked that their understanding of the dark side of human nature came from Cui Minzhi. Hearing this, Cui Minzhi stood up with a serious face, bowed respectfully and replied in Chinese: "Thank you."
Jeannels, a film blogger, thinks that Cui Minzhi is a bit like Huang Qiusheng. "His performance is very aggressive. He gives people a crazy feeling, unlike normal people. "
Song Like Kang Hao, Cui Minzhi started his acting career from a stage play. 1989 starred in the screen debut "Nine Old Arirang", but still with traces of stage performance, not natural enough. Then I wandered around the TV circle for a few years. Cui Minzhi didn't become famous until the film "Field of Life and Death" from 65438 to 0999.
The 57-year-old Korean film champion also has a "cute" side in his life. He is a girlhood fan of Korean idol groups. When filming "Seeing the Devil", he sang along with the MV of his girlhood before taking off his bloody clothes on the set.
Xue Jingqiu: The character's life is in his face.
Xue Jingqiu, together with Song Kanghao and Cui Minzhi, is also called "Zhong Wudao Troika", which is the benchmark of Korean film industry. Compared with passers-by Song Kanghao and "losing face" Cui Minzhi, Xue Jingqiu's temperament is very elegant and gentle. He has been in the business for more than 20 years and has no negative news.
On the screen, this gentle uncle has a changeable temperament. In Mint, he is a frustrated middle-aged man who goes astray step by step. In the oasis, he is a marginal man who has been released from prison. In Su Yuan, he became a loving father who tried his best to protect his sexually abused daughter. Some netizens commented on Xue Jingqiu in Time Online: "Each character was given a different color by Xue Jingqiu. Every time I watch Uncle Xue's movies, I feel strange temperament. "
A few years ago, Han was interviewed. Before the interview, she heard that other media reporters asked Xue Jingqiu some emotional questions. Xue is very unhappy and the interview effect is not good. Han provided was ready for the failure of the interview, but it was very congenial to chat with him. The original ten-minute interview actually lasted for an hour. "Talk to him about professional things, he will be very willing to. Most famous Korean actors are very kind. "
Jeannels, a film blogger, was most impressed by Xue Jingqiu's performance, which came from the film Mint directed by Li Cangdong. The hero played by Xue Jingqiu stood on the railroad tracks and prepared to commit suicide, shouting at the oncoming train: I want to go back! The photo was fixed on his painful and twisted face. Jeannels likes this freeze-frame treatment very much. He thinks: "Director Li Cangdong may pin his hopes on that close-up. All the emotions poured down at that moment, and the life of the character flowed on Xue Jingqiu's face. "
Let me interrupt you and have a rest. In addition to this article, there are other wonderful articles in this magazine, which should not be missed-as long as you register as a new APP user, you can read them for free:
Li Zhengzai:
The golden signboard of pure love movies
Li Zhengzai's family was rich when he was a child, but later his family declined. He also has an autistic brother. In the most difficult time, he didn't even have money to buy birthday presents for his friends. He once recalled in the Korean variety "Healing Camp" that he was often reprimanded by the teacher because he didn't pay his tuition in time, and he felt very inferior.
After graduating from high school, Li Zhengzai did not continue to go to college, but began to work to earn money. With his outstanding appearance, he was recommended by his boss to audition in an advertising company and entered the entertainment circle by mistake. He quickly gained recognition for the film Young Man and the TV series The Hourglass Lover. However, Li Zhengzai didn't adapt to the busy work and impetuous atmosphere in the entertainment circle after becoming popular. He joined the army during his career rise and returned to school to fulfill his college dream.
In 2000, Li Zhengzai and Gianna Jun's romantic film "A Lover Out of Reach" became popular all over Asia, and his career ushered in a new development. In the following years, he starred in love movies such as Pure Love Spectrum and Gift, and once became the golden signboard of Korean pure love movies.
However, Li Zhengzai is not satisfied with this. He has publicly stated that he wants to play a destructive role. 20 10 he co-starred in the movie "My Daughter" with Cannes-winning actor Quan Douyan, playing a man who looks perfect but is hypocritical. Later, in New World, Sightseeing and Assassination, he played many complicated roles between good and evil, and his acting skills were affirmed.
20 16, The Great Reversal, a film co-produced by Li Zhengzai and Wallace Chung. Victoria Hon, vice president of Hairun Film Co., who participated in the production, once recalled to this reporter that because South Korean intelligence agents in Li Zhengzai needed to speak Chinese, he hired a Chinese teacher to study Chinese for three months before shooting, and set aside half a year to shoot. When shooting, Li Zhengzai didn't have a crowding round team and didn't play mobile phones. He just read the script carefully and got into the role.
Lee Byunghun:
Wandering between "Perfect Man" and "love rat"
Han has a deep memory of "Double Kings" starring Lee Byunghun. Lee Byunghun plays two characters with different personalities in the film, and often blogs with himself. "I learned later that many of them were improvisations." Han Xiao said, "The director is very relieved that he will make this play. He is an excellent performer. "
If anyone can make a comeback because of the South Korean scandal, Lee Byunghun must be on the list. Nothing, just acting.
Four years after her debut, Lee Byunghun won many acting awards in the TV circle, and later won the Big Bell Award and the Qinglong Award for films such as JSA Safe Zone and Love about Stupid Pig Jumping. Lee Byunghun is regarded by the Korean people as an outstanding representative of going abroad. In 2006, Lee Byunghun was awarded the Knight of French Culture and Art by the French government. At the fan meeting of Tokyo Dome, Japan, all 40,000 seats were filled. South Korean media also called Lee Byunghun "the most representative Korean actor".
In 2009, Lee Byunghun opened the Hollywood market with the role of "Honky" in Hollywood's "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", ranking 23rd in IMDb, the world's largest film information station, and becoming the highest ranked Korean artist in history. Lee Byunghun smiles at ordinary times, which makes people feel reliable, mature and persistent. Korean media once said that he had a "perfect man" face. However, how high people are set, how heavy they will collapse. Because of a series of sex scandals, Lee Byunghun was once spurned by the public, and "love rat" replaced "the perfect man" as his new wife.
Under the negative news, Lee Byunghun won the fourth best actor in his career with his performance in The Insider of 20 16. In the same year, Lee Byunghun became the first filmmaker to get on the Oscar podium in Korean history. As a result, Korean netizens who have always been mean and vicious are casually called "the pride of Korea."
Liu Yaren:
To shed one's blood for the role.
This is the only post-85 generation in our list of male gods in Zhongwu Road.
It is hard for anyone who has seen the mourning clothes to forget the scene: the prince of Liu Aren, dressed in plain clothes, kowtowed with all his strength, then raised his head, and the blood on his forehead formed two roads, flowing down the river, revealing the victim of power and tragic fate under his interpretation.
Che Peishun, an actor who plays park geun-hye's father-in-law, revealed that Liu Yaren was going to knock on a piece of Shi Zhuan wrapped in a sponge, but he hit a corner of a real stone. Generally, actors would stop when they felt pain, but Liu Yaren continued to play. The blood he saw in the movie was actually Liu Yaren's real blood. So he evaluated Yoo Ah In as a "genius of hard work".
Liu Yaren was born in 1986. He was found by a talent scout at the gate of a high school. He wanted to debut as an idol singer, but he really had no talent for singing and finally died. It was dormant for 12 years before it really became a big red.
In 20 15, Yoo Ah In ushered in a turning point in his career. The film "Veteran" starring him was released, and finally the cumulative number of viewers reached 654.38+03.4 million, ranking third in Han Ying history. The image of arrogant chaebol III played by Liu Yaren is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In "Mourning", he played the prince who was starved to death by his father in a rice cupboard, and beat Song Kanghao to become the youngest winner of Qinglong Film in Korea. In the same year, the TV series "Six Dragons Flying" won him the Best Actor Award in South Korea's SBS Acting Award. Zhongwu Road was once covered with posters of Yoo Ah In, and 20 15 was also called "Yoo Ah In Year" because of the outbreak of Yoo Ah In.
When everyone was congratulating him, Yoo Ah In said, "It's time to find inner stability, return to normal life and find your own balance."
He did move on. In 2065438+2008, the movie Burning, starring him, scored a record 3.8 points in Cannes, and Liu Aren was once again recognized by film critics as a performance that helped the film win the prize. Acting The Secret Behind may be Yoo Ah In's acceptance speech: "The trophy contains many stories, as well as a lot of ambition and fighting spirit, which converge into our purest acting skills under the camera. What is acting? (That is) I have been exercising, and I have been exercising. "
