At the 2023 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, an "incredible" scene has occurred.
During the award ceremony, actor Chen Yiwen suddenly took out a whip and asked him to read the following three sentences with him while beating Ruan Jingtian:
"I love movies. ”
"I'm serious about performing. ”
"I'm not going to leave the table. ”
Ruan Jingtian followed and said, and Chen Yiwen whipped it.
At that time, many people only thought that Chen Yiwen was helping Ruan Jingtian solve the siege 10 years ago.
10 years ago, Ruan Jingtian was absent from the group photo of the previous actors and actresses because he left the table halfway. This move made him be labeled as "the most impolite actor" and other negative titles.
Until March 2024, the movie "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" will be released.
The audience reacted that the two were restoring the clips in the movie.
At that time, many people were still very unfamiliar with Chen Yiwen.
It wasn't until this "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" that many people knew his name and saw his acting skills.
In this film, the role he plays is one of the evils, the "Venerable".
On the surface, His Holiness is a soft-spoken, kind-eyed old man who zealously enlightens and enlightens young people who have gone astray.
But in reality, he is a cunning and insidious figure who can influence the whole situation with his every move.
The contrast between the outside and the inside makes Chen Guilin, who is thoughtful in the play, also fall into the way.
After the serial routines were completed, Chen Guilin, who was ruthless, was also washed by ** and knelt on the ground crying bitterly.
Let the whip of His Holiness and others be bullied and whipped on his body.
This scene is also the clip of Chen Yiwen and Ruan Jingtian reproduced at the Golden Horse Awards.
It wasn't until later, when Chen Guilin saw another woman being forced to die with his own eyes, that he realized that this was a routine, and he knew that he was the cold-blooded and cruel Venerable.
Blood sprayed on his face, but he was calm and calm, smiling and singing to the believers.
The huge contrast in the characters is perfectly interpreted in this smile.
Chen Yiwen's skillful acting skills amazed many audiences.
It is also a pity for many people, how did they know him.
In fact, Chen Yiwen's acting career in front of the screen has only been 10 years.
Chen Yiwen, who was born in Taipei in 1966, is the only son in the family.
But unlike other parents, the expectation of the only child to become a Chan.
His parents educated him based on his feelings.
He will not be required to take the first place in the exam, nor will he be required to go to any prestigious school.
As long as it is something he wants to do, his parents will not stand in his way.
Therefore, Chen Yiwen has had a wide range of interests since he was a child.
Martial arts, horseback riding, sailing, swimming, etc., what interests him, he will try it.
But Chen Yiwen, who likes horseback riding, did not expect that he would form a deep fate with "horses" in the future.
But that's all for later.
Chen Yiwen, who is only 20 years old at the time, is preparing to apply for the National Academy of Arts in Taiwan and plans to study drama.
At the time, this decision could be regarded as "deviant".
After all, in the eighties of the last century, there were not too many people in the actor industry who could afford it.
None of his relatives and friends are engaged in this industry.
But Chen Yiwen's parents still chose to support it.
With the support of his parents, he was successfully admitted to the art academy and began to study drama.
In 1994, he starred in his first work, The Age of Independence.
It was this work that made him get acquainted with director Yang Dechang, and decided to move from the front of the stage to behind the scenes.
And he also started from serving as Yang Dechang's assistant and assistant director, and gradually opened his own road of self-editing and self-directing.
From 1995 to 2000, he first won the Golden Harvest Short Film Award that year with the short film "Lessons of Life", and made a name for himself in Taiwan's entertainment industry.
Later, he relied on two movies "Jam" and "Love of Running Hands" to gain a firm foothold in the Taiwanese entertainment industry.
The Love of the Running Hands
Among them, "The Love of the Running Hands" was nominated for the best film at the Golden Horse Awards that year, which shows his directing skills.
It's just that as soon as the front foot was nominated for the Golden Horse Award, he became obsessed with riding and raising horses on the back foot.
For the next nine years, he went to the club whenever he could, from morning to night.
Perhaps it is precisely because of his obsession with horses that Chen Yiwen, who was originally on the rise, slowly went downhill.
In the past ten years, among the movies he directed, there seems to be only one famous "Love Bay".
Realizing the seriousness, he spent two years quitting, while also thinking about his future path.
In 2014, Chen Yiwen made a surprising decision.
That is to turn back to Mu Qian from behind the scenes and return to the identity of an actor.
You know, he was 47 years old at the time. In the entertainment industry, which is full of young people, his age and appearance do not have much advantage.
Without an advantage, he can only start with a cameo in a small supporting role.
Therefore, he can be seen in classic movies such as "Paradise in the Army" and "Big Buddha Plath".
From cutting-edge directors to unknown supporting actors, there may be a huge sense of frustration when this gap is applied to anyone.
However, Chen Yiwen seems to be enjoying it more.
Because of the theme he participated in, he crossed from comedy to horror films, and obviously made a lot of attempts.
In 2019, he finally made his mark in the feature film "The Sun Shines".
In the play, he plays a father with complex contradictions.
Two sons, two attitudes.
But after the proud eldest son committed suicide, he was able to take revenge with a knife for the younger son he couldn't look down on.
He's a real bad guy, but in a way, he's a lovely guy.
Chen Yiwen portrayed the complexity of human nature very well, and with such an excellent performance, he won the "Best Actor" award at the Golden Horse Awards in one fell swoop.
From a supporting role to a "actor", Chen Yiwen only took 5 years.
And in the third year after winning the award, he gave the audience a big surprise in the portrayal of villains.
In 2022, in the TV series "She and Her Her", he played the human-faced beast-hearted Xie Zhizhong.
As a chemistry teacher in high school, Xie Zhizhong took advantage of the convenience of make-up classes to extend his claws to his female students, causing them to have mental problems.
But until he was paralyzed in bed and needed to be taken care of by others, he still didn't have any remorse.
The indifference in his eyes and the disdain in his expression made countless viewers hate it.
Lin Yilan, the heroine in the film, even said that although she had been mentally prepared before the start of filming.
But during the actual shooting, she was still frightened by Chen Yiwen's expressions and movements, and collapsed directly.
Later, she had a shadow on Chen Yiwen.
He will be creepy at looking up his name on the Internet.
I often dream of him, knock on my door, and scare myself awake.
This time, the bull head in "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" may also become the psychological shadow of other people.
However, many people seem to have reacted while being frightened, and Chen Yiwen has appeared in Taiwan's acclaimed films in recent years.
From this point of view, he can also be regarded as a "drama face".
Not only can you easily control different characters, but you can also enrich the characters and make them more three-dimensional. Every character is amazing.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Chen Yiwen.
Because, he doesn't want to be limited to villain roles.
He said that as long as there is a role he likes, he will try it.
In his opinion, the 58-year-old still has unlimited possibilities in the future, and he can still try them one by one.
The reason why I have the courage to try this way is because of the support of my parents and letting go.
He is not married, and his parents have not had any urging to marry all along, just let him be himself.
For this reason, Chen Yiwen's friends once told him that his parents are very special.
When he was 50 years old, he asked his father why he had been allowed to do what he wanted to do since he was a child.
The father said that because he didn't want him to be wronged.
Throughout his acting career, he has indeed not wronged himself.
debuted as an actor and wanted to be a director, so start as an assistant;
The road to directing has reached a stage of confusion, so he re-uses his identity as an actor.
From the beginning, it was as if he had never had an unfinished business.
And this courage may lead him to make more attempts in the future.
I also look forward to him to create more wonderful characters.
