According to writer Zhang Jiawei, Ge You's face is as many as dandelions.
The meaning of the variety of acting skills is called "the first 1000 faces".
The wealth in "Alive" gradually disappeared in the great waves of the times, fate changed from prosperity to decline, and his son died unexpectedly in a car accident, resulting in an emotional breakdown, and grief and helplessness were intertwined.
Yuan Siye in "Farewell My Concubine" has a sinister temperament, ** has a soft spot for opera, and even when he is dying, he still can't forget the action of performing and singing.
He played the role of "comedy uncle" in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", revealing social reality at will, with considerable irony.
All of these are not Ge You's real faces, only the last one is his true self.
He is modest and cautious, timid and low-key, afraid of kissing scenes, afraid of crying scenes, and even a little cringe?
Chen Kaige praised Liu Bei for his sincere words, calling him the most outstanding actor in China.
Feng Xiaogang commented: "Ge You only has relatives, no enemies. ”
Although he wears the title of actor and has a stable position, he is known for his low-key, and his acting career with almost zero negative reviews has been 34 years, what kind of charm does he have?
It's time to unravel the mystery hidden in Ge You......
In recent years, the stalk of "Uncle Ge" has been widely circulated among netizens, and forms such as Ge You paralysis, Ge You lying, Ge You working overtime, and Ge You slamming the door have emerged in endlessly. This calm and hippie attitude to life makes the audience empathize.
What a comical effect this is, it's like playing yourself. Therefore, many people think that Ge You is the incarnation of the uncle.
In fact, long before the emoji went viral on the Internet, the legend of "Uncle Ge" was already circulating in the circle.
Chen Kaige filmed the movie "Zhao's Orphan" in 2010, and whenever it was time to eat, several leading actors would get together to share the big pot of rice.
The exception is Ge You, who always takes out delicate cutlery from his bag. Huang Xiaoming saw it and joked: "It seems that Uncle Ge is a person who knows how to enjoy." ”
The name spread and became known.
Although he is called "Uncle Ge", Ge You's style and demeanor are not like "Uncle" at all.
He has been working in the field of art for more than 30 years, has won many awards, and has become the favorite "queen actor" of many well-known directors.
Those who can achieve this status must have a lot of experience, but Ge You is the polar opposite of them, and he is famous in the circle for his timidity.
Guo Degang participated in a large-scale event and found that he was hiding alone behind the crowd, without an obvious star halo, and obviously looked a little restrained.
He himself half-jokingly said: "Every time I arrived at the entrance of the hall to participate in an event, I felt nervous, as if I would be machine-gunned as soon as I opened the door." ”
He always tries his best to attract attention, hyping himself up with hot topics, and the "fake falls" on the red carpet are constantly staged, while he chooses the strategy of "staying away from it".
When domestic entertainment artists travel, the scene is very grand, accompanied by at least three or five assistants and bodyguards.
Some well-known artists, even the security guards have to line up in a long line, surrounding the front and back, and escorting them closely.
Uncle Ge simplified everything as much as possible, and when the staff subconsciously reached out to stop people, he hurriedly stopped: "No need, in fact, there is no one at all." ”
A few words woke up the person who was immersed in the dream, and this little fresh meat didn't know how many shelves he had put up.
He responded in an interview afterwards: "No one is in my way, and I can sneak away faster." This sentence amused many people.
Ge You said that his life is serious and serious, and he gets nervous and sweats when there are many people. The so-called comedy elements that are occasionally displayed in life are also inspired by the humorous characters in the film.
He is characterized by leaving the character to the audience and life to himself.
Feng Xiaogang depicted such a plot in the movie "Uneasy": A New York Times reporter wanted to interview Ge You, but he refused on the grounds that there was something at home.
Director Feng was puzzled, this was a rare opportunity to enter Hollywood, what was more important at home.
Ge You said that he was going to the Great Bell Temple to buy floor leather for his parents, and added: "What are you doing in Hollywood? It's good to be able to serve the Chinese audience well. ”
Some people may say that he is dull, or even call him "stupid", but it is precisely because of this timidity that the image of Ge You as an actor has been created.
Ge You's attitude towards acting can be summed up in three words, that is, "no pretense", no matter the size of the role or the number of scenes, he pursues perfection and shows a unique "ingenuity spirit".
In order to depict the image of the workers in "Carla is a Dog" in depth, and to present the lives of the little people in a more down-to-earth way, he took a small bench to the factory gate and sat down, carefully observing the workers passing by, and even noticing which leg took the first step when they walked.
Keep it in mind, imitate it repeatedly in private, and then add personal understanding to integrate the two.
Eventually, the images of the workers were brought to life on the screen, and their performances were full of life and energy, which resonated with the audience.
Dressed in a shabby old man's shirt, unkempt, while gnawing on a cucumber, with a loveless expression, this scene is regarded as a classic, and seems to be a portrayal of each of our lives.
The reporter went to visit the class during the filming, but Ge You could not be found in the crowd.
His demeanor is no different from that of an ordinary worker, and he is so completely immersed in the character that it is difficult to discern.
Uncle Ge once brought two chickens and a dog in order to experience the life of the small people in the market, and let them fight.
Inside, he silently pondered his emotions and carefully pondered how to perform the scene.
With this mentality, each piece of work is completed.
During the filming of the movie "Zhao's Orphan", there was an important crying scene that needed to be shown, and the director suggested shooting with his back to the camera, because he knew from life experience that real sadness is often not easily shown, and the tears behind people's backs can convey sadness better and be more real.
In the movie, the role of Cheng Ying directly won nearly ten awards for Ge You.
Drama is like life, life is like drama, this state of plausibility and falsehood, and staging is life, isn't it the highest state of an actor?
However, all of this was hard-won, and Ge You came at the cost of sleep!
In order to delve into a drama, I often suffer from insomnia, and sometimes I even think that I can't sleep at all, and in severe cases, I have to rely on sleeping pills for 45 out of 50 days to maintain a normal schedule!
He jokingly said, "I'm just an actor, just to please the audience." ”
For him, being an actor is not only a means of work and livelihood, but also a responsibility, and he needs to be responsible for the audience and fans, as well as for himself.
Of course, this is also indispensable to Bole's vision of knowing people.
Feng Xiaogang is considered to be one of Ge You's enlightenment teachers, and their collaboration produced an excellent chemistry that laid the foundation for Ge You to become a "civilian actor".
The classic roles played by Ge You and Feng Xiaogang in the movie "Party A and Party B" have become classic images that people talk about.
This is not that Feng Xiaogang made Ge You, but on the contrary, it was Ge You who "charred" Feng Xiaogang.
Uncle Ge has long been famous, and when Wang Shuo left, he chose to participate in "Party A and Party B", which made the movie a "box office dark horse" later.
Under Feng Xiaogang's lens, Ge You is full of market atmosphere, his performance is natural and smooth, full of freewheeling feelings.
Before the movie started, Director Feng had already remembered Uncle Ge's performance.
Zhang Yimou showed another side of him, showing the tragic experience of Fugui from the first squandering of family property to the last with nothing, witnessing the tragic experience of his relatives leaving one by one.
Therefore, it can be seen that Ge You has a high degree of performance plasticity as an actor.
The film was not only a huge success at home, but also caused a sensation internationally.
To this end, he did not hesitate to pay the hard work, took more than 20 trains back and forth, and rushed to the Cannes Film Festival overnight.
When the host announced the list of winners, Ge You didn't react until the name of the movie was pronounced, and then he went on stage to accept the award in a daze.
Standing on the international podium, he hurriedly said less than three sentences and left.
When Uncle Ge was interviewed in China, he joked lightly: "Just give me a piece of paper, and I didn't give money." ”
After becoming the first actor in Asia to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, well-known directors such as Ann Hui and Chen Kaige approached him.
However, he still maintains a humble attitude, always vigilant and not complacent because of his achievements, and is not sloppy in his performances, and is low-key and steady.
Once, when he was with Feng Xiaogang, a young man came forward in a panic and asked for an autograph, and it took him a lot of effort to find a crumpled note from his pocket.
Ge You eased the embarrassment of fans with a small joke, he joked: "As long as it's not an IOU, it's okay." ”
Director Feng couldn't help but sigh at his patience, however, the "uncle" reacted with this answer: "For me, I have signed my name tens of thousands of times, but this is the first time that people have plucked up courage." ”
In a leadership position, it is rare to be able to deeply understand the feelings of fans.
In recent years, Ge You regrets to find that his opportunities to be on camera are getting fewer and fewer, and the approachable "Uncle Ge" seems to have "disappeared" ......
Ge You's success is both accidental and inevitable. In the era when he was growing up, there was a strong creative atmosphere and good scripts emerged in an endless stream, and it was an era of a hundred flowers.
Fifth-generation directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang burst out of their creative inspiration, setting off a wave of enthusiasm in the international film industry and playing a significant role in promoting the inheritance of Chinese films.
With the support of objective conditions and personal efforts, Ge Youcai has achieved the road of actor.
In recent years, he has appeared less and less in front of the camera, so it has gradually become a luxury for fans to see Uncle Ge.
rarely appears on variety shows, doesn't participate in interviews much, and has almost no social activities.
In addition to being strict with itself, this also indirectly indicates that the number of excellent scripts is decreasing. Ge You once said that as long as the script is good, even if he is ninety years old, he will shoot.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer works that can touch his heart and ignite his passion for performance, and he chooses to "not follow the crowd" out of the principle of "rather lack than excess".
Despite not having much time to appear, the performances are still superb.
As Feng Xiaogang pointed out: "He can seriously play a very unobtrusive role, saying lines that don't follow the routine, but his attitude is very sincere." ”
In the movie "Two Tigers", the "freshman comedian" Qiao Shan and his partner reflect each other like "mirrors" in a seemingly absurd kidnapping, and "loosen the bonds" for each other, conveying positive energy and broad life feelings, and facing life with an optimistic and open-minded attitude.
The film has a strong cast, but there are problems with the plot and content, resulting in a rating from 79 drops directly to 63。
Ge You can only ensure his own performance, but he can't resist the influence of the external environment.
This is not only a problem faced by him alone, but also plagues many old drama bones, such as Chen Daoming, Li Baotian and Wang Zhiwen.
Even with excellent acting skills and popularity, it may not be that the old drama bones voluntarily "disappeared", but that they were forced to leave the stage because they could not meet high-quality scripts.
Ge You appealed to the director at the film festival, saying: "Don't just shoot young people, I can play anything." He also added an almost humble teasing.
I hope that more practitioners can pay attention to these senior actors and give them more opportunities.
The news that Ge You won the infringement lawsuit caused a sensation on the Internet and directly appeared on the hot search list.
Many netizens joked: "Uncle Ge can make money even lying down", and joked that they didn't dare to use the "Ge You Lying" emoji again, thinking that this behavior was really disgusting.
Infringement is a fact, and artists have the right to defend their image rights, and it is completely reasonable to protect their rights and interests according to the law.
This also reminds us that we need to pay attention to moderation when playing memes, and don't be swayed by "poisonous chicken soup" and "**."
