After 14 years of playing a dog, he became an actor, and how much traffic he slapped in the face

Mondo Entertainment Updated on 2024-03-03

"Internal entertainment is terrible. ”

This is a sentence that has been frequently brushed in the past two days, and it is helpless in the era when traffic is king. Breaking the law and discipline, crying and shouting tired, reading lines and only reading 12345 numbers Miss and gentlemen. They use traffic as an umbrella. In the past two days, Rolling Jun saw a **, talking about the current situation of the actor industry, he said:"The whole world has changed, and now it's generally not as hard as we were then. As long as you can talk, you can act, as long as you want to find faults, there are faults as far as the eye can see. ”

The person who said this was actor Chen Chuang.

Who is Chen Chuang? I don't remember at all when I look at the name. Looking at the face, it feels a little familiar. He is the guardian of the Lord in "Baolian Lantern", the loyal roaring dog;

is Malala, who made a cameo appearance in rock ** in "Family with Children";

is the ill-fated Fugui in the TV series version of "Alive";

is the king of yellow eyebrows who traveled to modern times in "Magic Mobile";

Chen Chuang has created countless classic screen images, most of them are not the protagonists, he is a well-deserved king of supporting roles.

But people still blurt out when they see him:"Howling Dog! ”

can't even name it, even though he has won the actor three times.

An actor who was abandoned by the traffic era, an actor who went from a "dog" to an actor.

Chen Chuang's experience made me see the persistence of the old artist, the indifference of warmth as water, and the persistence of ten years, which is the most precious thing in today's domestic entertainment.

I saw the word "one knife and three worships" from Chen Chuang's top Weibo.

The master said that when carving Buddha statues, in order to show reverence, one knife is bowed three times per carving, which is now rare. asked Chen Chuang, do you act to create characters, will you bow three times like this? Chen Chuang stood next to the master, speechless.

This is Chen Chuang's reflection on himself as an actor, and it is also humble. But from the perspective of those of us who watched the play, he did a knife and three bows to each role.

Even if that character is a dog.

In 2003, when Yu Mingsheng, the director of "Baolian Lantern", was casting, he never found a suitable candidate to play the roaring dog. A TV series of more than 30 episodes, playing a dog, most of the time is lying on the ground, ugly, and not the protagonist, no one wants to take on this thankless job. But Chen Chuang doesn't pick, he does it when he has a job, and he does it when he has a play. He is a drama fan, a drama addict, and a drama maniac. In order to play the roaring dog well, Chen Chuang began to carefully observe the life of the dog. Take a ham sausage as a lure, observe the dog's every move, and find that the dog's nose is shrugging when sniffing things; When the dog is petted by its owner, it will squint and enjoy lying on its stomach; Dogs bark alertly when they spot someone suspicious. Observing these details, Chen Chuang vividly applied them to the role of the Howling Dog.

There is only one set of costumes in the whole play, a thin black gown, and the blower blows at Chen Chuang in autumn and winter, because the clothes are difficult to take off, he doesn't go to the toilet.

Even if it is a small supporting role, Chen Chuang has tried his best. Now that I think back to "Baolian Lantern", I can't remember the plot anymore, the only thing I remember clearly is the whistling dog, even if he didn't even leave a corner of the poster on the TV series.

The year after the release of "Baolian Lantern", in 2005, "Fugui" was also released. After playing countless little characters and running countless tricks, Chen Chuang's acting skills were finally seen and he acted in the first play as the protagonist in his life.

On Douban, Chen Chuang's TV series version of "Alive" has a higher rating than Ge You's movie version of "Alive".

filming this drama is undoubtedly a big test for Chen Chuang.

The original work "Alive" is Yu Hua's classic, which tells the ups and downs of the protagonist Fugui's life, from the landlord's son to the poor, losing his loved ones one after another, and finally only Fugui and the old cow remained.

The time span is large, and the character's heart changes a lot, which tests the actor's acting skills very much, and with Ge You's performance in front, Chen Chuang's pressure is even greater. But after the film was broadcast, the worries were superfluous, Chen Chuang portrayed the role of Fugui very well, and even Yu Hua saw it and agreed with his Fugui. Yu Hua said, he is the blessing in my heart.

On Douban, some netizens posted asking:Looking at the howling dogs, will you be able to play?

The message area is all praise for Chen Chuang.

Some people say that if you don't play at all, you can even watch **, and you can still put Chen Chuang into the situation; Some people say that Chen Chuang is like what he plays, unlike some actors, who can only play one kind of role forever;

Some people say that this is Chen Chuang's best work.

Chen Chuang is the so-called drama face-throwing, every time he plays a play, what he plays is like, and the next play has no shadow of the characters in the previous play at all. He said: "My judgment of a movie, from the perspective of an actor alone, no matter how many appearances a character makes, as long as he has a task and action, he will be remembered. So I gladly went. This comes from his dedication to the creation of characters, whether it is the main character, the supporting character or the trick, he will study the meticulous sculpture like a devout believer.

Chen Chuang relied on the role of Fugui to be nominated for the Magnolia Best Actor nomination, and missed the actor.

But in 2014, Chen Chuang won the title of Outstanding Actor of the Lily Award for his role in "Kong Erpi Enters the City" and became the actor. This counterattack road from "dog" to actor has taken Chen Chuang for 14 years. The award-winning ** spread wildly on various platforms, and the barrage was saying: "The roaring dog is worth it!" ”

Chen Chuang, who took off his costume, was not a roaring dog, not Fugui, not the King of Yellow Eyebrows, not any role he had played, just Chen Chuang himself. A straight suit, a pair of glasses, elegant and elegant. Someone asked: Why does Chen Chuang look so cunning but looks so bookish? His indifferent temperament comes from his opera family, from his knowledge and gentle character. The entertainment industry is a colosseum, if you want to survive, you must fight, you must grab, and you must fight for the position. But Chen Chuang is the one who hides in the corner to "survive".

Even if he won the actor and won the award, he still has no traffic and no expectations.

After winning the award, other artists were waiting for a bunch of microphones in front of them, and a bunch of gossip questions were waiting, and he made the reporter speechless. has no resources, no background, no backstage, and no fighting, according to his own words: "It may be his mother's strength, and he also has a somewhat pleasing personality." The same is true for Chen Chuang on the set, in stark contrast to the little fresh meat surrounded by a group of people, he looks quite lonely. Alone, not even an assistant.

Such a character also made Chen Chuang lose a lot of opportunities and take a few more detours.

He once chatted with a field reporter at night, talking about movies, talking about life, talking about ideals, and they haven't been in touch since then, that scene is the current director Ning Hao, who is the Ning Hao who filmed "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Alien", "Crazy Racing", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and Ning Hao, who became popular with Huang Bo. Once a director also valued Chen Chuang very much, gave him a business card, and said that he would contact him in the future, but Chen Chuang never contacted him again. That is Shang Jing, the director of "Wulin Gaiden". Chen Chuang is not good at communication, he is not good at human affairs, he can't take shortcuts, he can only work hard, down-to-earth, step by step.

With Chen Chuang's self-contained comedic appearance and his superb acting skills, working with these two directors must be able to break out of the world, at least broader than now. But walking slowly and step by step, like a tortoise in a tortoise and hare race, a little slower, you can reach the end and win.

Chen Chuang, who won the award, is still playing a small role, in the popular movie "Life Events" some time ago, he played the uncle of a little girl in it, and he only appeared for five minutes.

In just five minutes, he played a cowardly and incompetent man to the fullest, and when I watched this movie in the theater, I didn't recognize it as the howling dog of the year. Seeing that there was a**Recently interviewed Chen Chuang**, he was still alone in the crew, and he was a small role, and he was ranked second to last on the crew's notice sheet. He didn't believe that anyone would specifically ask him for an interview, and thought that he was hired by an agent.

After winning the award, Chen Chuang, who was walking on the road, still had no one who could call his name.

Winning the award and winning the actor did not make him an instant hit, but he still stuck to his position as a professional supporting actor, doing work whenever he could, and running around for a few minutes of play. sticks to the crew all the year round, and when I see all kinds of actors, of course, I inevitably meet some traffic niches. Chen Chuang said helplessly: "You may want to sincerely and sincerely point out some of their problems, his expression and subtext are telling you, 'You don't have to worry about my business, I am the starring role, you are just a small supporting role, do you still want to come to me?'" ’”

After hearing these words, Chen Chuang had no choice but to give up.

In the era when traffic is king, some people are praised on the high platform and do all kinds of ridiculous things, and some people stand alone, always walk alone, and stick to it for ten years. Even if a really good actor is playing a dog, acting can bring it to life and play fire, and those who just need the title of actor to gild themselves can only be summed up in one sentence by Jackie Chan: It depends on when you finish. The clown is in the temple, the master is wandering, but one day the clown will be dragged out of the temple.
