Has anyone ever thought that among the movies scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival this year, whether it is Jia Ling's self-directed and self-starred "Hot and Hot" finally won the championship, or "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou, the biggest winner in the end has to be Lei Jiayin, the co-star of these two movies.
In "Hot and Hot" directed and acted by Jia Ling, Lei Jiayin is the first male lead, and in the movie he plays the personal trainer Hao Kun of the female protagonist Le Ying. The character was originally a down-and-out boxing coach, but later met Le Ying, who had nothing to do, by chance, and then the two worked together to change their lives.
In "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou, Lei Jiayin is the absolute first leading actor. In the movie, the character he plays is a prosecutor who has long lost his former edge, and he is most concerned about the daily firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivialities. A subsequent case brought him a huge test.
Lei Jiayin alone starred in two movies during this year's Spring Festival, and one of them "Hot and Hot" successfully won the box office championship of the schedule, and the other "Article 20" achieved various counterattacks after the schedule, becoming a film that truly achieved a win-win situation at the word-of-mouth box office during this year's Spring Festival.
There is no doubt that Lei Jiayin has become the biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival.
In fact, if we take a closer look, we will find that Lei Jiayin in recent years is really the best actor in domestic film and television resources, and he not only won this year's Spring Festival.
Just like in 2023, Lei Jiayin will release a total of three movies, two of which are works directed by the great director Zhang Yimou, and these two films "Man Jianghong" and "Solid as a Rock" also won the box office champions of the year and the National Day file respectively.
and in 2022, a "The World" broadcast at the beginning of the year directly let the domestic audience see Lei Jiayin's excellent acting skills, which directly made him successfully win the Best Actor Award in the Magnolia and Golden Eagle Awards.
Lei Jiayin, who has already entered middle age and is not very outstanding, why has he had such good resources in recent years, and why has he become the queen actor of the great director Zhang Yimou?
Some people say that Lei Jiayin's "cost performance" is high, first of all, Lei Jiayin's acting skills are very good, which can be proved through the TV series "The World", and secondly, his salary is not very high, so big domestic directors like to let him star in their own movies.
A cost-effective actor, of course, the director likes to use it, but with the rise of fame over the years, the current Lei Jiayin's salary has already risen, and it can even be said that it has reached the first-line level.
Therefore, some people think that "in fact, it is because Lei Jiayin is riding on the track of 'nest'", the characters he plays do not have much temper, they all seem to be very nesty, and they are also very kind. Some netizens said that Lei Jiayin is really suitable for playing the role of a nest type, as long as he doesn't have to say lines at that stop, he feels very nesty.
There seems to be some truth in the words of netizens, since Lei Jiayin has been an actor, most of the roles he has played are very poor, he is really very suitable for this type of role, and such a character is easier to define as the protagonist. So in recent years, Lei Jiayin's resources have been getting better and better.
