Chapter 54 A Born Multifaceted Actor!
Yu Shasha's laughter was so loud that it enhanced the show's effect and resonated with the viewers in the live broadcast room.
"666, Shen Gongbao insults people without using any swear words, is he a master of historical fabrication, or a master of dog shit?"
"Deconstructing history is slang for 'bullshit,' and that's spot on! Was Red Cliff also bullshit? Master, we understood your code!"
"Everyone, please don't spread rumors. The Taoist priest clearly said that John Woo is very good at deconstructing history. Please don't misunderstand."
"Yes, yes, the Taoist priest risked his life to deliver this message to us. He still has to film in the Red Cliff movie set. We shouldn't harm him."
"This live broadcast was so enjoyable! Shen Gongbao was openly criticizing Wu Yusen, and Wu Yusen didn't even realize it! It cracked me up!"
The viewers in the live stream were happy, but Wu Yusen was unhappy.
After hearing Shen Gongbao praise him as a master of historical construction, Wu Yusen also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
I feel like I've gotten myself into a trap?
Coupled with Yu Shasha's laughter, it seemed as if she was mocking him.
Wu Yusen's face immediately darkened, and he directly questioned Yu Shasha: "What's so funny about it?"
-
As a host, you should be more professional. The guests are the main characters; you are just a supporting role!
Please figure out your own position first!
Great directors vent their anger directly. During an interview with The Promise, Cheng Kaige also didn't hold back in scolding Liu Yan.
Liu Yan had to apologize, and afterwards she was targeted for a period of time.
At this time, Yu Shasha was in the same boat.
After being scolded by Wu Yusen, her face changed, and she quickly lowered her head to apologize.
This scene angered the viewers in the live stream, and many people were cursing Wu Yusen.
Shen Gongbao added fuel to the fire, deliberately saying, "Everyone should understand Director Wu. He manages thousands of people in the Red Cliff crew and has always been the one to make the decisions. That's just how he's used to speaking."
With so many people on set, it was no joke that Director Wu couldn't keep everyone in check unless he had a really bad temper.
On set, Wei Ge was often scolded.
"You agree, right, Brother Wei?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Wei was stunned for a moment. What Brother Wei? Who is Brother Wei?
Seeing Shen Gongbao pointing at himself, Awei realized that Brother Wei was referring to him.
He said in broken Mandarin, "Just call me Ah Wei or Wei Zai, don't call me Wei Ge, it sounds weird."
You're right, Director Wu is indeed very strict on set, and he has very high standards for his work.
But this is just professional rigor; in reality, he's a very nice person.
Ah Wei was obviously praising Wu Yusen and speaking up for him.
However, this did not help Wu Yusen. Netizens sympathized with Yu Shasha, who was a working-class woman, and criticized her even more harshly.
Yu Shasha adjusted her emotions and took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "We have a rumor that you, Teacher Shen, know some physiognomy and are very accurate at reading people's faces on set."
No secrets stay hidden forever. Shen Gongbao's high-profile appearance on set naturally led to some rumors.
Upon hearing Yu Shasha's words, Shen Gongbao smiled and denied it, saying, "This is not physiognomy, but just a summary of experience."
The ancients said that one's appearance reflects one's heart.
There's a famous saying abroad that says once you turn thirty, you have to take responsibility for your appearance.
There is now a discipline called physiognomy.
I only have a slight understanding of the relevant knowledge.
Yu Shasha's original plan was to have Shen Gongbao read her fortune, but then she remembered what Wu Yusen had just said: she was just a supporting character and shouldn't steal the spotlight.
Seeing that Ah Wei hadn't said much today, she took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you have Teacher Liang read your fortune, and we can learn from him?"
Shen Gongbao did not refuse. He looked at Awei's face and then praised, "Brother Awei, with your looks, you are a natural-born multi-faceted movie star!"
After I recently joined the entertainment industry as an actor, I started learning about acting skills. That's when I learned that actors have a concept called mental health, also known as occupational health.
This means that when actors immerse themselves in portraying a character, they can easily become too deeply involved and unable to detach themselves, which can lead to mental and psychological illnesses.
Brother Wei wouldn't have this problem.
Because he has many facets!
He can portray melancholic, affectionate, and devoted characters in movies, attracting a large number of movie fans, and in real life, he can be humorous, witty, and a womanizer, yet remain untouched by any of the women around him.
He can be enthusiastic and emotional abroad, even crying with excitement at the Cannes awards ceremony, but he can also be serious, cold-faced, and socially awkward at various events in mainland China, unwilling to say a word.
This is Brother Wei's most powerful ability!
He can switch between expressions and adjust his emotions with remarkable smoothness, as if he has an intelligent program installed.
I would call it an intelligent persona, or an intelligent social anxiety.
This is the best actor, a natural-born multi-talented actor!
Shen Gongbao launched a tirade against Awei, who looked displeased and frantically tried to come up with a rebuttal.
Yu Shasha was secretly pleased. She had long been annoyed by Awei's coldness, so she deliberately asked, "What is social anxiety?"
""
In 2007, the concept of social anxiety was not yet popular.
Shen Gongbao explained: "Social anxiety is short for social phobia."
This symptom was originally a medical concept, specifically referring to a psychological disorder characterized by an inability to adapt to large social situations, resulting in fear and avoidance of social interaction.
In today's internet age, some people have begun to use the term "social anxiety" to express their preference for quiet solitude and their dislike of joining in crowds and engaging in meaningless social interactions.
We should respect this custom.
Take Wei Ge for example. He's in a state of social anxiety. He doesn't want to talk much, wants to be quiet and alone, and is afraid that others will notice him.
If he returns to Hong Kong Island or goes to places like Japan or Europe, he will no longer feel uncomfortable, his social anxiety will disappear without medication, and he will become a social butterfly.
Just like when Brother Wei was interviewed before, he said that when he was unhappy, he would fly to London to feed pigeons.
This is intelligent social anxiety, and also a way for top actors to heal themselves.
A good actor must have multiple facets and integrate acting into daily life. I am currently humbly learning these advanced techniques!
Shen Gongbao's approach to Ah Wei was more direct, but the effect was not as good as Wu Yusen's.
The viewers in the live stream split into two camps:
One group consists of Shen Gongbao's fans, who think that Shen Gongbao did a good job of exposing Awei's hypocritical mask;
The other side felt that Shen Gongbao went too far, and that it was very unethical for a newcomer to speak ill of a senior actor like that.
This was in June 2007, only three or four years after the release of Infernal Affairs, and before the more controversial Lust, Caution had been released.
Ah Wei's intelligent social anxiety, his two faces—one in mainland China and one overseas—and future figures like the Mandarin, all emerged gradually in the mobile internet era.
At this time, Awei was at the peak of his popularity and reputation.
In many people's eyes, Ah Wei is the pinnacle of male actors in the Chinese film industry. His melancholic and affectionate eyes are captivating, and his superb acting skills are admirable.
What's rare is that he is still a loving couple with Liu Jialing, and there are no problems with their private lives.
When Shen Gongbao first publicly endorsed Jet Li and Jackie Chan, he was in a vulnerable position as a bullied person. He had not yet entered the entertainment industry and was just a student. Everyone sympathized with him.
The comment I just made was about John Woo, criticizing the haphazard historical adaptations of Red Cliff, and it was widely accepted.
However, he is now a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and his status is different. If he were to portray Ah Wei during the period when Ah Wei had a good reputation, it would inevitably cause a lot of controversy.
For example, in the live broadcast room right now, two groups of people started arguing, and the argument was quite fierce.
At a glance, there seem to be more people supporting Awei and criticizing Shen Gongbao.
This group included not only fans of Ah Wei and some rational audience members, but also fans of Li Lianjie and Wu Yusen.
Shen Gongbao offended these fan groups before, and now they want to retaliate.
However, having more people does not necessarily mean having stronger fighting power.
A large portion of Shen Gongbao's fan base comes from online forums, especially the Shen Gongbao forum.
Those are all seasoned veterans, extremely powerful fighters, capable of defeating ten opponents online with ease.
So, judging from the situation, Shen Gongbao's fans still had the upper hand.
Especially after the live broadcast ended, related news continued to spread, and more and more people criticized Shen Gongbao.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau's online forum immediately rallied together and launched attacks across the internet.
The controversy quickly spread across the entire internet, turning Shen Gongbao's interview with Awei and Wu Yusen into the focus of public opinion.
Major portal websites have reported on the news.
Topics such as "Master of Historical Construction", "Chibi Cuckolds Liu Bei", "Shen Gongbao mocks Awei's social anxiety", and "Shen Gongbao's arrogance and satire of his predecessors" have become hot topics across the internet.
Actually, during this interview, Shen Gongbao was just making a casual joke to lay the groundwork for what would happen next.
Unexpectedly, Ah Wei's filter was still there.
Even John Woo has quite a few fans, and there are many people who support them.
They've made this issue so popular.
Seeing this, Shen Gongbao wasn't in a hurry; after all, the best was yet to come.
Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to start a group purchase that very afternoon.
Literary and artistic icon Xu Jinglei was the first to fire a shot, posting a blog entry titled "Newcomers to the industry should be down-to-earth; relying on sensational statements to grab attention is unsustainable."
"I've been busy preparing for my new movie, 'Go Lala Go!' until today when I suddenly saw the news and discovered that a newcomer has entered the entertainment industry."
This newcomer is a bit arrogant. He first made fun of kung fu master Jet Li, which caused him to be ridiculed by netizens.
Today, he started making sarcastic and sarcastic remarks about director John Woo and teacher Leung Chiu-wai again.
He uses the reputation and word-of-mouth of these predecessors to attract attention and gain exposure, just like a clown trying to please the crowd, which is completely unsustainable.
As a senior figure in the industry, I would like to say to this newcomer:
No matter what kind of achievements you have or what kind of academic excellence you have, once you enter a new industry, you must work hard in a down-to-earth manner and learn from the fine traditions of your predecessors.
I worked with Mr. Awei last year. He is a very good person. He is serious and dedicated to his work, putting in all his energy to create a good character.
When he's not filming, he's very quiet and enjoys reading books and newspapers; he has a very good character in private.
Such people should not be mocked or labeled as two-faced, promiscuous, or socially awkward.
I hope this newcomer will take the initiative to apologize and clear his name.
Xu Jinglei collaborated with Ah Wei on "Confession of Pain" last year and with Jet Li on "The Warlords" this year. In the past two years, she has focused her career on the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Shen Gongbao played roles in both of her male leads, so it's reasonable for her to criticize him, and it's also for the sake of popularity and traffic.
In 2007, Xu Jinglei was undoubtedly the queen of blogs.
At that time, blogs didn't have the concepts of followers or fans; they only looked at page views.
Xu Jinglei is the first blogger on Xinlang Blog to surpass 100 million total visits, not only setting a "world record" but also a full year earlier than Han Han, the next blog traffic king.
Her blog post immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Not only that, Liu Jialing also reposted Xu Jinglei's post and commented: "My husband has always been a very low-key and quiet person. He is not a two-faced person, and he would never be unfaithful. I hope everyone will not be deceived."
Following Liu Jialing, artists from Chengtian Entertainment, as well as some Hong Kong celebrities, also spoke out in support of Ah Wei.
Shen Gongbao's fans were ultimately outnumbered and lost the public opinion battle.
There was a huge outcry online against Shen Gongbao.
Many people are waiting for Shen Gongbao's apology.
Everyone thought Shen Gongbao would back down, but unexpectedly, he only forwarded Xu Jinglei's post and added a long comment: "I was telling the truth!"
Jet Li is the world's number one action star, and I am a loyal fan of his!
Director John Woo is very good at deconstructing history from a wonderful perspective; he is indeed a master of historical construction!
Wei Ge is an exceptionally talented actor, a natural-born multi-talented actor!
His acting talent is top-notch; he can intelligently switch between different personas, seamlessly transitioning between different states and standards, whether in public or private, domestically or internationally!
This is a talent that all actors dream of; it's something that others simply can't learn!
Our ancestors told us that one's appearance reflects one's heart, so you should believe in physiognomy!
I'm telling the truth, so why doesn't anyone believe me?!
