Chapter 313: I'm an Actor

"What does Wang Xu say in his acceptance speech?"

Wang Xu heard Zeng Zhiwei's reminder, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, glanced at Brother Chen Long, and said: "Big brother, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer if you want to win the Lifetime Achievement Award, according to the organizing committee's words that love me so much, it is very likely that I will win the Lifetime Achievement Award next year." ⊙ Top-of-the-line novel,"

Chen Long and Zhou Yunfa both laughed, and the stars in the audience also laughed, they understood Wang Xu's joke. Although the Lifetime Achievement Award is a supreme honor, it is generally awarded to retired or deceased old-timers, in addition to ridiculing him, another meaning of his words is also to thank the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards for his highest praise, not only he and his wife won the award together, the organizing committee also carefully produced a video, and invited Liu Dehua to make comments, which broke the previous practice.

Wang Xu continued: "Just now I heard in the audience that Brother Chen Long entered the industry at the age of seven, and he has been in the film for 53 years, and I feel a lot, I don't know if I can fight like my eldest brother at the age of 60." I remember that in the crew of "The Lion of the Heavenly General", I asked my eldest brother if you still fight so hard, you don't need a stand-in, you have to complete all the scenes by yourself, why are you? We young people should fight for fame and fortune, but isn't the eldest brother already famous? At that time, Brother Chen Long casually replied to me, "I am an actor!" ’”

"Bang Bang!"

Wang Xu's speech was interrupted by applause, he smiled slightly, and also applauded his eldest brother, and after a pause in applause, he said: "In the crew of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" Angkor, it is Wu Jing, we all call him Angkor, Angkor is very deep in the play, last week he also told me that he still maintains the living habits of the protagonist Wang Chao in the movie, and he gets up at dawn every day to practice boxing, and it is uncomfortable if he doesn't practice." I saw in Angkor that the legendary actor was too deep into the play, but fortunately, Wang Chao was a normal person and did not cause great trouble to Angkor, but I know that Liang Chaowei is often very deep because of his deep involvement in the play. Many of the characters are extremely complex characters, which is a bit troublesome, I also know Xu Zheng, you see he is smiling now. ”

A camera was aimed at Xu Zheng, and the big screen gave him a close-up, only to see him smiling and listening to Wang Xu's words.

He's smiling now. But you may not think that Lao Xu experienced something unimaginable to ordinary people during the filming of "Master of Hypnosis". He plays a psychiatrist, he has to deal with all kinds of mental patients, he spent half a year before filming to understand hypnosis and psychiatrist, it took a long time to get into the role, and then it was difficult to get out of this role. In the end, it was only three months after the end of the movie that he completely broke out of the character with the help of a doctor, please note that he needs the help of a professional doctor to jump out, you can imagine the pain in the heart of this process. I also asked him if he regretted playing the role, and he said no, he said he was an actor. His job is to get the trick right unconditionally. ”

Wang Xu's words were once again interrupted by warm applause.

He sighed: "I also said 'I am an actor', and even said it more than once on different occasions, I want to confess today, before I said this in order to show that I am a very stylish person, and I did not understand the weight of the word "actor" very well. I didn't suddenly realize it one day, but after three years of working with many excellent actors, I saw what they said and what they were doing. The good character in them gradually came to understand. Why Zhou Runfa. Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Chen Long, Wu Jing, Wang Bo, Xu Zheng. And all of you here regard "I am an actor" as the highest honor, and I think I understand a little.

I think back four years ago, I made my first campus micro-film, a small video that was less than ten minutes long, in which I played a college student named Wang Dazhui without lines. I can still recall the excitement when I saw my roommate type the words 'actor Wang Xu' on the subtitles. At that time, I just wanted to be an actor. is not a star, not an actor, just an actor.

There is a group in this industry that I don't know if everyone has paid attention to, and that is 'extras'. I've been in contact with them, and they're all working in a variety of occupations, some as waitresses, some as cleaners, and some on construction sites after paying for it, but when you ask them what they do, they still say, "I'm an actor." ”

I believe that people who can say the phrase "I am an actor" must have a passion for acting. The eldest brother has been in the industry for 53 years, Brother Hua has been in the industry for 33 years, and my teacher Mr. Zhou Yunfa has been in the industry for 40 years last year. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu looked at Zhou Yanfa, imitated his tone and said: "I'm not celebrating 40 years in the industry today, it's 'celebrating that I'm not dead!'" I haven't thought about retiring yet, maybe until I don't remember the dialogue. Someone said, 'Abel, call it a day, don't stop the earth from turning!' Or Parkinson's disease of being dumb, blind, walking across the street, shaking in a nursing home. Filming is fun, there are so many people, seeing so many things and eating, it is so boring at home. ”

"Why didn't Zhou Runfa, Chen Long, and Liu Dehua think about retiring, because they are actors and they love this industry. I can't help but think of the question, what would we do if we weren't actors? I myself didn't think of the answer yet.

So far, I won't do anything other than know I can be an actor. Since the day I entered the industry, I have had a strong obsession with me, that is: no matter what my role is, how many scenes I have, even if I am only given a second of footage, I have to find a way to make you remember me in this second.

I have been practicing hard for a long time in order to realize this obsession, and it is difficult to say that this obsession is my original "dream", but I must do it if I want to live up to the word "actor".

When I was on the set, I would often forget that I was Wang Xu, because I only remember that obsession, and it is the same to this day.

Please allow me to be verbose a little longer, I also want to say some personal insights to those colleagues who have the dream of being a big star, aiming for the Academy Award actor, and have just entered the industry, it is good to have dreams and goals, but if you only see the goal, it is easy to ignore the process, just like running, you want to run to the finish line, and you will forget to enjoy the scenery along the way.

The happiest thing about being an actor is not worry-free food and clothing, not winning numerous awards, but whether you can really enjoy the process of every effort.

Young friends who have conditions, confidence, perseverance, and interest on the scene and in front of all the TVs, you are welcome to join the ranks of actors.

Please see, I'm waiting to be friends with you.

Please take a look, Brother Chen Long will invite you to film one day, Liu Dehua will invite you to his concert one day, and Zhou Yunfa will pat you on the shoulder one day and say, 'Young people are good, I am very optimistic about you'.

even

One day you will be shortlisted for Best Actor at the Academy Awards with Liang Chaowei, Gu Tianle, Liu Qingling, and Zhang Jiahui, please take a look, the four of them are all idols you like, you admire, and you respect, you are not only shortlisted with your idol, but you also finally got the trophy of the actor, or Chen Long and Zhou Yunfa are your award guests.

Isn't this kind of life wonderful?

Thank you! ”

Wang Xu took two steps back and bowed deeply to the audience.

Liu Dehua, Zhen Zaidan, Liang Chaowei, Wong Kar-wai, Gu Tianle, Liu Qingling, Zhang Jiahui all stood up and applauded warmly, and all the stars and fans stood up.

The applause lasted for a long time. (To be continued......)
