"Don't be fooled! His Holiness is not honest! "
At the 2023 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, something very shocking happened. Actor Chen Yiwen suddenly took out a whip on the stage, and while whipping Ruan Jingtian, he asked him to read the following three sentences with him.
Ruan Jingtian is passionate about movies, he devotes himself to acting and never gives up halfway. Whenever he said these words, Chen Yiwen would give him a spur and motivate him to keep going.
At the beginning, many people only thought that Chen Yiwen was erasing the stain of 10 years ago for Ruan Jingtian. That year, Ruan Jingtian was unable to participate in the group photos of previous actors, which made him named "the most impolite actor" and other negative labels.
It wasn't until March 2024 that "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" was released, and the audience suddenly realized that they were reinterpreting the movie clips.
Chen Yiwen's performance in "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" made him stand out, few people knew him before, but now his name has been known to the public, and his acting skills have been widely recognized.
In this film, the role he plays is one of the evils, the "Venerable". On the surface, His Holiness was a gentle, kind-eyed old man who zealously provided guidance to young people who had gone astray.
But in reality, he is a cunning and insidious character, and his words and deeds are enough to influence the overall situation. The contrast between the outside and the heart made Chen Guilin, who was cautious in the play, also fall for his plan.
After the traps of one ring after another were gone, Chen Guilin, who was ruthless, was also ** to the point of kneeling on the ground crying bitterly.
Chen Yiwen and Ruan Jingtian recreated a shocking scene at the Golden Horse Awards: he was like a whip that allowed His Holiness and others to bully, whipping himself on his body.
However, when he watched another woman being forced to death with his own eyes, he realized that all this was just a cold-blooded and cruel routine of His Holiness. Blood was sprayed on his face, but he remained calm and calm, smiling and singing to the faithful.
The contrast behind the smile is so strong, Chen Yiwen perfectly interprets it with his acting skills. His superb performance amazed countless audiences, and some even regretted why they met him so late.
However, many people don't know that Chen Yiwen's career in the entertainment industry is actually only a short ten years.
Chen Yiwen, an only son born in Taipei in 1966, his parents did not have the same expectations for him as other parents. Instead, they focused on Chen Yiwen's feelings and educated them first.
They did not force Chen Yiwen to get the first place in the exam, nor did they force him to go to any prestigious school. Their approach to education focuses more on cultivating Chen Yiwen's independent thinking skills and self-awareness, as well as respect and support for his own interests and hobbies.
No matter what Chen Yiwen's interests are, his parents will fully support them and never limit them. This unfettered upbringing allowed him to have a wide range of hobbies at a very young age, such as martial arts, horseback riding, sailing, swimming, etc.
No matter what he tries, he has the encouragement and support of his parents.
Chen Yiwen loves horseback riding, but he never imagined that it would be indissoluble with his life. However, looking back now, this is a thing of the past. At that time, Chen Yiwen, who was only 20 years old, was working hard to apply for the drama department of the National Academy of Arts in Taiwan.
This choice could be considered "deviant" at the time. After all, in the 80s of the last century, the actor industry was not highly valued. None of his friends and relatives were in this profession.
But Chen Yiwen's parents stood firmly behind him, encouraging him to pursue his dreams. With the support of his parents, he was successfully admitted to the Academy of Arts and embarked on the journey of drama study.
In 1994, his debut work "Independence Era" not only made him famous, but also made him acquainted with director Yang Dechang. In the cooperation with Yang Dechang, he moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, serving as an assistant and assistant director, and gradually embarked on the road of self-writing and self-directing.
In the Taiwanese entertainment industry, he won the Golden Harvest Short Film Award for the short film "Lessons of Life" from 1995 to 2000, and has since emerged in the entertainment industry.
Then, he consolidated his position in the Taiwanese entertainment industry with the movies "Jam" and "Love of Running Hands".
Although his "Love of Running Hands" was nominated for Best Film at the Golden Horse Awards that year, showing outstanding directing talent, it is a pity that after receiving the nomination, he indulged in horseback riding and horse breeding, and for 9 years after that, he went to the club whenever he could, from morning to night.
Chen Yiwen was originally on the rise in the film industry, but due to his obsession with horses, his career path began to decline. In the past ten years, except for "Love Bay", his films have not been well-known.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he spent two years kicking his horse addiction while also thinking about his future. Eventually, in 2014, he made a surprising decision: to move from behind the scenes to the front of the camera and return to being an actor.
You know, he was 47 years old at that time, and his age and appearance did not have much advantage in the entertainment industry full of young people. In order to change this situation, he can only start with a cameo in a small supporting role.
Therefore, we can all see him in classic movies such as "Paradise in the Army" and "Big Buddha Plath".
Whether you're a budding director or an obscure supporting actor, the ups and downs of life can make you feel deeply frustrated. However, Chen Yiwen took this calmly.
He keeps trying, from comedy to horror, and is willing to challenge every genre. In the end, he showed a dazzling light in the 2019 feature film "The Sun Shines".
In the play, he succeeds in creating a father figure full of contradictions and complexities. He showed a very different attitude towards his two sons, which is thought-provoking.
Despite the loss of his proud eldest son, he still decides to avenge his younger son. Although his behavior is disgusting, his love for his son makes people feel a little cute.
Chen Yiwen vividly expressed the complexity of human nature through his superb acting skills, so he won the title of "Best Actor" at the Golden Horse Awards. From a supporting actor to an actor, it only took him five years.
It is worth mentioning that he also presented the audience with a surprise of a villain in his third year after receiving the award. In the TV series "She and Her Her", which will be broadcast in 2022, he played the ruthless Xie Zhizhong.
Xie Zhizhong, a high school chemistry teacher, abused his power to make up classes and conducted ** on female students, causing mental trauma to female students. Even though he was now paralyzed and unable to take care of himself, his eyes were cold and his expression was arrogant, showing no remorse.
This indifferent attitude made the audience feel extremely indignant.
Lin Yilan said in an interview that although she had prepared before filming, Chen Yiwen's performance still shocked her, and she couldn't control her emotions and collapsed directly.
Her fear of Chen Yiwen deepened, and she felt creepy when she saw him searching for her name on the Internet, and she was often awakened by his knock on the door in her dreams.
The image of the bull head in "Removing the Three Evils in the Week" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and may become a psychological shadow for some people. However, with the popularity of the film, the audience began to discover that Chen Yiwen has performed in Taiwan's well-received movies in recent years.
Chen Yiwen is undoubtedly an excellent "drama face", no matter what role he faces, he can always control it easily, and even shape it into a more three-dimensional one, which is eye-catching.
He is not satisfied with playing the role of a villain, as long as there is a role he likes, he will not hesitate to try, which is also a good thing.
We don't want you to have any grievances. ”
He has always insisted on himself on the road of acting and has never given in. Emerging as an actor, he aspired to become a director; However, he encountered confusion on the road to directing, so he resolutely returned to the role of an actor and struggled again.
No matter what role he started in, he rose to the challenge without fear and never gave up. This fearless spirit may lead him to open up more possibilities in the future.
We look forward to him and create more engaging characters."
