Last year, Feng Yuanzheng ushered in the appointment of the dean of Renyi in his long artistic career. As soon as the news of Feng Yuanzheng becoming the new dean spread, the Internet was filled with praise. However, what is surprising is that in an interview shortly after taking office, he made a striking remark: "It is necessary for us to limit the remuneration of actors, and at the same time rectify the negative impact of capital on the industry." ”
The remarks immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. This is actually a blatant statement against capital, facing the trend of opposing capital intervention in the entertainment industry and excessively praising popular traffic stars.
In recent years, the distribution of remuneration in the entertainment industry has shown obvious polarization, with the salaries of traffic stars in the tens of millions, while some old drama bones can only sigh. As Pu Cunxi said: "I can only get a remuneration of 1,000 yuan to 1,200 yuan for a performance." This huge pay gap led to a significant reduction in the crew's actual disposable budget, resulting in many low-quality productions.
The issue of salary control in the entertainment industry has always attracted much attention, but there are not many people like Feng Yuanzheng who are not afraid to stand up to this problem. His courage is not just because he is the dean of human arts, obviously not.
Feng Yuanzheng's real compelling moment came in 2001, when he played a crazy domestic violence man in Don't Talk to Strangers. He presents an image of a polite, humble and polite doctor on the surface, but behind it shows a first-class desire for control, and the surveillance of his wife is shocking.
Because his performances were so realistic, Feng Yuanzheng was often spurned by passers-by when he walked on the streets, and even his future mother-in-law doubted his morality. This realistic characterization made him unpopular in the film and television industry, and many directors chose to avoid him for fear of audience disgust, causing him to suddenly fall into a low point in his career.
However, in the face of such a dilemma, he did not choose to give up, but instead accepted those small roles that most people dismiss, such as challenging the sissy role in "No Thieves in the World" and playing Amore in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", trying to gradually change the public's stereotype of him.
However, the intervention of capital has completely changed this situation. In the era of pursuing high salaries and chasing traffic stars, acting no longer seems to be the key, but fame and fan base. The market's pursuit of box office has led to the marginalization of those old actors who have acting skills but lack traffic, and they are almost unable to gain a firm foothold.
Faced with this reality, Feng Yuanzheng found that he had no drama to film, so he pinned his hopes on drama, and finally found a world of his own on the drama stage. His devotion to the drama can be described as extremely high, and sometimes he even needs to go on stage again to thank him after he has just drunk a sip of water. In his dedication to drama, in addition to investing time and energy, it is also mixed with deep regret.
This remorse stems from an experience in 2005. He was performing "Teahouse" at the time, and the audience did not know that shortly before he took the stage, he received a notice that his father was critically ill. Faced with his imminent death of his father and an irreplaceable important performance, he experienced an extreme struggle in his heart. In the end, he decided to stick with the show, a decision that left an indelible regret in his heart.
Holding back his worries and sorrows, he called his wife ** immediately after the performance. When the ** is not connected, he is full of anticipation, hoping that his father is still waiting for his **. However, ** finally connected, and his wife told him, "My father has died. ”
These five short words have become the pain of Feng Yuanzheng's life, and they are also his eternal regret. But thankfully, his efforts were not in vain. With his excellent acting skills and talent, coupled with long-term dedication, Feng Yuanzheng overcame many difficulties and was promoted to the dean of Renyi in 2019, when he was 60 years old.
Looking back on his decades of acting career, he has gone from an inconspicuous supporting role step by step to today's achievements. He is well aware of the hardships of extras and obscure actors.
Therefore, after becoming the dean, he immediately put forward two suggestions: one is to let the group performers participate in the evaluation of professional titles, and the other is to set a minimum salary standard for actors. He hopes to provide more opportunities for those unknown actors to ensure their lives. In this way, they can devote themselves to pursuing their acting dreams and strive to improve their acting skills, instead of being forced by life to change careers or go astray.
In addition, Feng Yuanzheng also proposed to rectify the impact of capital on the entertainment industry, trying to weaken the control of capital over the entertainment industry. He publicly proposed this initiative, which shocked people and won their respect.
After all, not everyone has the courage to stand head-on with the forces of capital. However, despite these suggestions, we rarely see Feng Yuanzheng on the screen. Could it be that the reason why he disappeared for a while was because of the confrontation with the forces of capital and was **? Not really. During this time, Feng's expedition did not stop advancing.
In November last year, he not only directed Renyi's opening masterpiece "Zhang Juzheng", but also starred in person, showing his outstanding talent. In addition, he was also honored as the chairman of the board of directors of the Beijing Dramatists Association, contributing his wisdom to the progress of the theater industry.
Although it seems easy for capital to try to eliminate the former Feng Yuanzheng, it seems difficult to deal with the current Feng Yuanzheng. This is because Feng Yuanzheng has reached a new artistic peak and is deeply loved by the audience. In Renyi, he is not only the core force, but also an unshakable existence.
At present, he has been worried about the future development of show business and continues to work hard. When recruiting people, he would rather not recruit new students than those who can only dance with chopsticks. Because he firmly believes: "Be a man first, and then learn drama." ”
He is not only an excellent actor and director in the field of theater, but also injects new vitality and thinking into the industry. His artistic achievements not only make Renyi unique, but also set an example for the entire entertainment industry.
