"Crossing the Wire" subverts itself, and Lu Han, who steps in and stands, is starting again


1905 movie network feature A year ago, we wrote a manuscript, "Laughing at Lu Han is the real tragedy of the year". At that time, the manuscript wrote: Failure does not mean that Lu Han should really be laughed at by the crowd. This film should be a warning that we allow failure, and failure is for future progress.


After the manuscript was sent out, various comments emerged in the background, some supporting their favorite beans, and some continuing to "black". Without a doubt, traffic largely represents controversy. As a representative of traffic, Lu Han’s every move will be noticed by the public. In the past year, in addition to publishing music works, he has participated in the recording of "Creation Camp 2020", and rarely participated in other film and television works. He is still surrounded by countless fans, and at the same time, many people are singing bad news.


Until the online drama "Crossing the Wire" went live, the comments about him, whether on Weibo and Zhihu, or on Hupu and Douban, formed a "epic" praise front. 


This time, maybe we can re-establish ourselves in the context of our work and talk about Luhan as an actor. 


Luhan is no longer exquisite.

At the beginning of the first episode of "Crossfire," we almost didn’t recognize Lu Han on the screen. With short instant noodle hair, a baggy T-shirt, fat pants, and flip-flops, he looked like a gamer. 


In this drama, he is no longer the shining idol image we used to know in front of the camera. He does not maintain the expression management of an idol at all times, nor does he have a Korean filter, but the audience is very comfortable watching. Lu Han said in an interview with "Shanghai Fortress" that I am learning about the word actor step by step, and I especially want to deeply study the acting aspect, because I am also gradually transforming, hoping to use my own actions to work hard to get more people’s recognition step by step. 


When the movie was released, his overly delicate and handsome appearance was constantly complained, and many viewers who did not buy it believed that his thick bangs did not match the role setting of the officer and lacked the toughness that should be there. 


Now, at least from the initial impression in "Crossfire", it can be seen that Lu Han and the entire team are really determined to transform. Of course, pretending to be ugly can never prove his acting skills, it can only be said that he has taken the first step. 


In the sixth episode of the series, Lu Han made his most emotional appearance as an actor. In order to comply with his parents’ arrangement and make his job regular as soon as possible, he kept changing drinks for the leader at the wine table. After three rounds of drinking, he returned home, sitting decadently on the ground, facing the dilemma of reality and dream. 


Sighing, bowing his head, and Lu Han’s habitual licking of his lips. This string of movements is placed here, directly conveying the helplessness and confusion of this character to the audience in a layered manner. Director Xu Hongyu mentioned in an interview that during the filming of this scene, Lu Han did not rely on drinking alcohol to find feelings, but actually performed it.

Let’s watch another scene. He was also full of enthusiasm. After running errands to buy KFC for the leader, he was finally thrown away by the other party. At this time, the camera still gave Xiao Feng a close-up – the same sigh and bow, but the emotion given was no longer helplessness, but the helplessness of "social animals" and the grievance of not daring to be angry. 


Let’s take a look at a group of the same scene and compare the states in different atmospheres. At the beginning, Xiao Feng temporarily put down his dream and stood at the door of the unit to pull his tie. It was a kind of helpless but had to be passively accepted. 


After this short period of work, he resigned decisively at the staff meeting, choosing to ignore the eyes and pressure of the world and resume his e-sports dream. Even at this time, he did not have any team members around him, but the youthful high spirits returned to him again. 


From these key scenes, Lu Han really grasped the different emotional states of Xiao Feng’s character. Overall, he still retained some habitual movements during the performance, but in this drama, these movements no longer seemed inconsistent, but could make people easily enter the play. This time, Lu Han did improve. 

Just a comfort zone?

On the Internet, they saw a lot of negative opinions. They thought that Lu Han had performed well this time, largely because Xiao Feng’s character was close to him. In other words, Xiao Feng was Lu Han performing in his comfort zone.

 

Looking back at his previous works, when he starred in and, many people said that the characters in these two works are similar, and they are more compatible with Lu Han himself, and there is not much personality arc, so it is not too difficult. 


So can these characters be hastily considered as Luhan in their comfort zone?

We don’t know, and I believe that no one except himself would dare to make such a positive conclusion. When Lu Han met the director Xu Hongyu for the first time, the first question he asked the other party was, "Do I want to play Lu Xiaobei?" Because in his opinion, this role is very similar to him and has a sense of security. This result was rejected by the director, but at that time he did not know whether the teenager in front of him could play the role of Xiao Feng well. 


For all the people behind "Crossfire", they were very sure that casting the star, who was a huge controversy in his acting at the time, in the role meant risks. Because before this, Lu Han’s first series "The Book of Choice" had just faced the double fire of word-of-mouth and business. During the filming of this drama, Lu Han chose to hand himself over to the director. During the five months of filming of the film, he hardly left the crew. He talked to the director every day to find the feeling of Xiao Feng. They started with the details of their lives, and wiped all the traces of the "idol Lu Han" in the eyes of everyone. 

Therefore, in "Crossing the Line of Fire", we can see a state of Luhan that we have never seen before, not playing handsome or deliberate, but really turning ourselves into Xiao Feng in the drama. There is a sentence on the poster of the characters in the drama, "In Crossing the Line of Fire, what do you want to leave behind?" Perhaps for Luhan, it is also a question that he should seriously consider as an actor. 


He once said in an interview, "I don’t think it’s possible to like everyone, as long as you work hard 100%, or 200%, or you feel that you have a breakthrough. Because it’s impossible to get everyone’s recognition, maybe some people’s doubts will become the driving force for your progress. I hope everyone can see my progress." This sentence just responded to the question on the poster. What he wanted to keep was his acting skills and everyone’s recognition. 

Transformation, stand up

In just 5 years from "Return to 20" to the present, the audience has witnessed every step of Lu Han. This year, Lu Han just turned 30 and officially entered his thirties. He knows very well that it is not just traffic that really needs to stand firm in this entertainment industry. Obviously, he has slowed down his progress because of this. 


He is facing his own transformation. On Lu Han’s Weibo certification, he says "actor, singer," but few people other than fans are willing to use "actor" to define his identity. 


While reconstructing his identity as an "actor" to the outside world with his actions, he is slowly making a transformation. He understands that he cannot always appear in film and television works as an idol or a teenager, and the same appearance will not bring recognition to everyone. As he said, "I am learning about the word actor step by step, and I especially want to deeply study the aspect of acting, because I am also gradually transforming, hoping to use my actions to work hard to get more people’s recognition step by step."

When everyone thought he could only play a certain type of role, he once said that he especially wanted to play the villain. Perhaps compared to the role of Xiao Feng in "Crossing the Wire", the villain will become his biggest challenge. And in the work "Doom" to be broadcast, he will try the villain role of Sven scum for the first time. 


For the audience, it will be another kind of expectation. Admittedly, at the end of this article, we are not trying to brag about how good Lu Han’s acting skills are, but objectively speaking, in "Crossing the Wire", he has obviously made qualitative progress. The public often looks at this group of stars with the colored lens of "traffic".

They may still be some distance away from the name of actors, but as for whether their acting skills are good or bad, whether they have improved or regressed, is the content worthy of public discussion. The concept put forward by Xu Hongyu during the creation of "Crossfire", "game life", is not a state of bottoming out immediately, but a process of exploration. This process requires time, recognition, and questioning, not pure denial.

As Gala’s performance of "Dreams of Innocence" sings in the latest episode, "Run forward/Face the cold eyes and ridicule/The vastness of life can’t feel without suffering/Fate can’t make us kneel and beg for mercy/Even if the blood is spilled in the arms."


Revealing the truth that Teresa Teng was forced to break off her marriage: I don’t want to be looked down upon.

People’s Daily Online, August 24 According to Taiwan Province Zhongshi Electronic News, Teresa Teng had a rough life. At the end of 1982, Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng, a wealthy businessman, broke off their engagement, which caused public outcry and various speculations. This was the third time that the singer passed by marriage in her life. How did Teresa Teng walk into the marriage hall hand in hand with Guo Kongcheng, and how did he choose to break up? Guo Kongcheng is six years older than Teresa Teng, and fell in love through the introduction of his friend He Lili. In 1981, Teresa Teng held an engagement party in Xianggong Restaurant on the ground floor of Guo Kongcheng’s Shangri-La Hotel, which featured the splendor of the Song Dynasty.

On that day, there were 3 tables, attended by about 30 people, including mothers, Hong Kong Polaroid agents and fans. Teresa Teng in a yellow dress looks very happy. There is a commemorative matchbox specially made by fans in the restaurant on the plate. On the surface of the box, the words "Teresa Teng" and "Hongkong" are printed with gold lettering on the red background, and the Shangri-La Hotel is also printed with black lettering. Although I didn’t say "I decided to get married" in detail, almost everyone met this Guo Kongcheng for the first time at this banquet.

After the engagement, the two exchanged tokens, and Teresa Teng put on an engagement ring. When meeting a good friend, she will hold out her left hand, show the ring on her ring finger and tell her happily, "I’m engaged." He Jiangxi recalled: "It was her sweetest and happiest day, and she took this relationship very seriously."

I got engaged because Guo Kongcheng’s mother found out that she had cancer. She wanted to see her son get married, and she liked Teresa Teng very much, so she hoped that Teresa Teng could marry the Guo family. Guo Kongcheng’s father was the boss of Shangri-La Group. At that time, Teresa Teng was already quite popular in the mainland. Having Teresa Teng as his daughter-in-law should be more helpful to the Guo family’s career, so he also hoped that his son would marry Teresa Teng. The reason why the relationship between the two people changed was related to a meeting between Teresa Teng and Guo’s grandparents at his home in Guo Kongcheng, Singapore, before they got married.

Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng were scheduled to hold a wedding reception at Shangri-La Hotel on March 17th, 1982. At that time, the Hong Kong media reported that she had even printed the wedding invitations and prepared the wedding dress.

Before getting married, Guo Kongcheng took Teresa Teng back to his home in Singapore to meet his elders. As a famous singer, Teresa Teng was surrounded by Guo’s servants as soon as he entered the door, excitedly asking for his autograph. The Guo family is a very conservative Chinese family, and Guo Kongcheng’s grandmother has a conservative concept. Seeing that Teresa Teng has just entered the house has robbed the limelight, he is very unhappy.

When Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng talked about the details of the wedding, Guo’s grandmother put forward three conditions to Teresa Teng: First, Teresa Teng was asked to provide detailed personal information; The second is to stop all singing and performing arts and concentrate on being a wife; Third, cut off contacts with the entertainment industry and draw a clear line with all male friends? ? .

When Teresa Teng listened to Guo Kongcheng’s request, she cried while touching the engagement ring. However, she can understand the strict family rules of the Guo family and is convinced that Guo Kongcheng will solve the difficulties, so she put forward the condition that "all other requirements can be agreed, but at least let me record and make a record".

However, a few days later, Teresa Teng received Guo Kongcheng’s reply that "your offer was not accepted". To this answer, Teresa Teng was silent. After repeated consideration, finally, Teresa Teng resolutely broke off her marriage and parted ways with her beloved Guo Kongcheng.

Most people outside believe that the relationship between Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng fell apart because of the opposition of the Guo family. However, He Jiangxi said that this is not the case. "In those days, after she broke up with Guo Gongzi, she had a hard time. During that time, I visited her at her residence in Singapore. I asked her why she broke up, and she told me,’ There is no problem with my boyfriend, but there is a problem with my parents.’ Because she is a female artist who sings on stage, that kind of family does not accept artists to marry in. I still remember her telling me,’ It’s actually ok to get married, but I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to be forced, I don’t want to be looked down upon.’ "

Teresa Teng’s younger brother, Deng Changxi, also revealed in an interview with the media that in fact, Teresa Teng had decided to quit the entertainment industry. Later, she felt that if she took this as a condition for marrying into the Guo family, it would be a sense of humiliation, so it ended in discord. After Teresa Teng’s engagement, the owner of Japanese record company, Zhou Muren, visited Teresa Teng in Hongkong.

After dinner, from about 8 pm to 12 pm, they talked in the lobby of Peninsula Hotel. Teresa Teng wants to refuse to renew the contract with Japanese Polaroid Records on the grounds that: "I want to get married, live a happy life, and don’t want to be bound by work. Please set me free!" Later, Tomaki said, "You have a lot of fans in Japan, and your existence is very important." To convince her, but Teresa Teng is very determined. It can be seen that she had planned to give up all performance activities and concentrate on being a housewife.

After this relationship ended, Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng returned the keepsakes to each other, and she was depressed for a period of time, which was solved by singing and making friends constantly.

He Jiangxi recalled the meeting in Singapore, and Teresa Teng’s words also revealed that he was deeply hurt by this relationship. "When Teresa Teng first came to live in Singapore, she told me,’ My health is not good and I have asthma, so I chose Singapore to rest. Because Singapore is a garden city, I am very happy here.’ But after breaking up with Guo Gongzi, she told me,’ Singapore is only suitable for the elderly and the sick, and young people are not suitable for coming to Singapore.’ The inconsistent statement is because her views changed when she was lovelorn. She didn’t think Singapore was bad, but simply expressed her misstep on the road of love, which brought her great trauma. However, there will be gains if there is a loss. Since then, she has devoted herself to her work, and her singing career has reached its peak. She has started to hold concerts in various places, and her career is very busy, but it has made her forget emotional things. "When it comes to this failure, will it make Teresa Teng lose confidence in love? He Jiangxi replied affirmatively:" No! She told me,’ No matter how many setbacks I have experienced in love, I will continue to pursue it. Love is very important to me.’ "

Take stock of six bumpy love histories

In Teresa Teng’s short 42-year-old life, there are six or seven boyfriends. Lin Zhenfa, the first lover, died of a heart attack during her relationship, and had a brief spark with movie stars Qin Xianglin and Jackie Chan. Japanese artist Mori Shinichi is also on the list, but when he came to Taiwan recently, he denied it. Teresa Teng admitted two feelings, one was Guo Kongcheng, a Malaysian rich second generation she met at the age of 28, and the other was Paul, a French photographer, who was her last emotional support before her death. > > > Next page
