How did 41-year-old Xiao Yang cross the threshold of being "not from a major"?

Sean is a joke! Seven years ago, I first saw Sean, and he and Terry Wang made flashy moves in the MV, showing their greasiness among gorgeous beauties.

"Little Apple" officially opens the era of online divine music. Although the two won a National Music Award for the song, Sean was still a clown in the eyes of the audience.

It can be said that with his fame, Sean can become a comedian in the field of variety shows. Many people once thought this was his best way out. When everyone thought that Sean's success was just "opportunistic", he became a "supporting gold medal" that cannot be ignored in the film and television industry. The recent explosion of the movie "My Sister" is the best proof of his strength.

From a clown-like character to a well-known actor, what did Sean, who was not born in the training class, do?

We may be able to see the underlying reasons for Sean's success from "My Sister".

Realistic themes are the best way to understand an actor's "undertones", and even Sean is no exception. In this film, he broadened the boundaries of domestic supporting roles and proved that actors do not have to be "trained."

There are actually only three reasons why Sean can cross the threshold of "non-actor".

A girl opened the curtains, and behind her was a man shouting "50/50" and "37 is fine."

Under the setting sun, the girl's face was neither sad nor happy, and her firm eyes meant that she was completely disappointed with her family.

After shouting in vain, the man gave up the struggle, but his desire for benefits never went out.

No one would have thought that this man’s so-called “splitting” was not about doing business, but eating his sister’s “RX steamed buns”. This man was Sean.

Sean plays An Ran’s uncle Wu Dongfeng, a failed middle-aged man. Sean's strength lies in his ability to show a person's layers. Wu Dongfeng's differentiated attitudes towards different people are fully demonstrated by him, so it is difficult for us to define this character in black and white.

The appearance of Wu Dongfeng is often accompanied by the mahjong table. In front of the spirit of An Ran's parents, we can clearly see the philistine and scoundrel nature of this person.

When we play cards with others, we lose money and always break the contract. We could barely see the apology on his face when we were asked to make an excuse and leave the table. This guy seems to be the poster boy for "shameless".

In the subsequent family meeting, Wu Dongfeng dominated the meeting with a loud voice, as if he was the leader. But his true thoughts were revealed in his subsequent words. He just wants to seek benefit for himself in the name of "seeking justice", and the tragedy of a family is regarded by him as a means to get rich.

Anron did not choose to appeal, but Wu Dongfeng did not give up.

He used "appeal" as an excuse to extort 20,000 yuan from the perpetrator. In front of this lens, our impression of Wu Dongfeng began to take shape. The "well-meaning elder" image he painstakingly created completely collapsed, and the audience lost hope in him.

This is the first reason. As long as an actor with "untrained background" can create a good character, he has crossed the "threshold" of becoming an actor.

If you think this is the real Wu Dongfeng, then you underestimate my sister and Sean.

The basis of Sean's success is to completely break a character and then use his acting skills to reshape the character.

In the following story, Sean pieced together Wu Dongfeng's broken character bit by bit, allowing us to once again see a character other than the "villain" image.

When An Longer made up his mind to abandon his younger brother and marry his boyfriend, and when his mother-in-law praised An Longer, Wu Dongfeng brought his younger brother to An Longer. The younger brother called "Mom" and ran to his sister. An Long'er was at a loss at her boyfriend's house. Wu Dongfeng's move made Enron's plan to "abandon his brother" have to be postponed.

Some people say this is Wu Dongfeng’s fault. In my opinion, this is the family love in Wu Dongfeng's heart. In this way, he forces An Ran to face his younger brother and become a "family".

After this scene, An Long'er has subconsciously identified herself as "sister".

One shot cannot truly reshape a character, Wu Dongfeng’s next behavior is the key.

Wu Dongfeng, who is nearly 50 years old, has poor posture in the classroom and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the people around him despite his best efforts. The teacher leading the dance in front of him was his own daughter. After the phone rang, Wu Dongfeng fell into the criticism of people around him, and his daughter was not with her father. She drove her father into the rain with a cold face.

Regardless of his daughter’s treatment, Wu Dongfeng came to An Longer’s house one morning and handed An Longer a wad of money and a camera with red eyes. It turned out that he knew that his daughter was getting married today and that she didn't want to see him, so he asked An Long'er to attend his daughter's wedding by himself and take the most beautiful photo of her.

When my daughter saw the camera, she couldn’t stop crying. Wu Dongfeng told her family stories at the wine table in the evening. He was once a wife. He once said that he would take a photo of his wife and daughter every year. When his daughter was five years old, he never wanted to collapse again.

We can clearly see the envy in An Longer's eyes, just like what An Longer said to Wu Dongfeng later: "I want to have a father like you." An Longer yearned for Wu Dongfeng Such a father, a father who can boldly show his love to his daughter. After writing this line, Wu Dongfeng's image was reshaped.

It is difficult for us to define what kind of person Wu Dongfeng is. We can only shout: "Xiao Yang is a real cow."

The second reason is obvious. As long as you have the courage to break people's designs and the power to reshape people, even "untrained people" are real actors.

If it were just An Ran and Auntie, "Sister" would be a good movie, but it would definitely not have such a high reputation.

The existence of Wu Dongfeng is not only a contrast, but also a projection of another reality. The beauty of family never disappears, but sometimes we are trapped by obsession and think we have never had it.

To be honest, I didn’t recognize Wu Dongfeng as Sean when I first saw him, or I just thought the actor looked familiar but couldn’t remember his name. When I looked at the cast afterwards, I wasn't surprised at all, just because he was Sean.

Sean is so good at constructing and interpreting characters that the light in his eyes is different when he plays different roles. The "Detective Chinatown" series is how most viewers know him. In the first movie, he played the police officer Quintai, and in the second movie, he played Song Yi, a criminal with a high IQ who plays the leading group in the palm of his hand.

Different characters will not make the audience flirt, but they can bring the same deep impression to the audience. As an untrained actor, Sean arguably rarely practiced such a skill.

Looking back on Sean's life experience, it is not difficult to find why he was able to win applause time and time again by relying on little people.

Wang Terry is Xiao Yang’s first partner and the latter’s lucky partner.

The two people met each other in a real sense. Although Sean is very famous on campus, he has never been famous during his years of social struggle. It was not until middle age that he waited for his perfect partner.

It can be said that the rough experience in the first half of his life is the foundation for Sean to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, and it is also the advantage of an actor from a non-professional background. Although Sean has not received professional training, we should know that the training for actors is only to let an actor understand what a character looks like in reality, but Xiao Yang has seen and even experienced those characters.

"When you write it on paper, you will feel very superficial." Sean's ups and downs in the first half of his life made him understand what people at the grassroots are thinking, and why there are such contradictions as Wu Dongfeng Behavior. When you see Wu Dongfeng, you will inevitably think of one of your relatives, which makes the movie really sink into the surface and connect with the "local atmosphere".

This is the third reason Sean crossed the threshold. Not only can he create a good image, he can also freely transform into different roles.

To achieve the third point, any "untrained" actor can succeed after crossing that "threshold".

Before Sean, only a few actors such as Zhao could break out of the "walk-in" group and write miracles with untrained students as the background, but they were not as successful as Sean. actor.

Shawn's success will definitely make many directors understand that untrained actors can always get very close to the characters. Even if they have good theoretical knowledge, they still need practice, right?

I can’t say what the general trend will be in the casting of film and television dramas in the future, but I can say that Sean has broadened the “source” of domestic actors. His continued success is the “endorsement” of countless group performances: What happened to the non-professional background?

You can perform well in shows even if you don’t have an academic background.

I have always believed that the most important thing in acting is to find your own position. Sean found his place at the age of 41 and became a well-deserved "golden supporting actor". For more non-professional actors, Sean undoubtedly pointed out a way for them, almost teaching them how to cross the "threshold."

Do you understand? Do you think it is easy to achieve the above three points?
