Liu Inquiry
In the show business circle, there is such an old drama bone whose strength has been seriously ignored, although he has not won the Film Emperor Trophy, he has been regarded as a thousand faces by countless fans. His performance in the movie is like a sweeping monk, seemingly sparse and ordinary, harmless to people and animals, once the drama starts, it can make many acting schools lose three points. The eunuch he plays is also known as one of the most classic eunuchs in the history of Chinese cinema. However, you may not know that he only stepped into the film and television circle at the age of 47, and how did his ancient and modern acting skills develop? Today we will reveal the behind-the-scenes history of The Diamond-level Supporting Actor Liu Xun. In 1939, Liu Was born in Beijing, and in that war-torn era, many people could not afford to raise their children to study abroad, and at the age of six, they were sent to drama classes by their parents. Friends who have seen the overlord Bieji should know that although they are bitter in the drama class, they do not have to starve to death, and they can have a means to make a living in the future. After entering the drama class, Liu Xun began to learn opera with his master, during which he was also influenced by the Peking Opera masters Li Wanchun, Shanghe Yu, Zhang Dejun, Li Shaochun and other predecessors.
Until he laid a solid foundation, the so-called do a line of love, although learning drama is bitter, but Liu Qian is as willing as a glutton. In 1958, Liu Yuan, a graduate, came to teach at the Peking Opera House in China, and the principal was Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera. At that time, I was full of enthusiasm to study abroad, thinking that I must carry forward Peking Opera. But the reality is very harsh, in 1980, because he could not stand the bureaucratic atmosphere at that time, 41-year-old Liu Xuan resigned and went to Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, Liu Xuan was introduced by a friend and entered the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts as a lecturer, teaching Peking Opera while engaging in the study of Yue opera. With solid skills, he soon became famous in Hong Kong's Pear Garden, and later many famous Actors of Yue Opera were guided by him, such as the famous actor and Cantonese opera master Luo Jiaying, who was his student, the Tang monk who sang young you. The reason why Liu Que and the showbiz circle are related, they have to start from a movie. In 1986, Xu Ke was preparing for the film Dao Ma Dan, which had a Peking Opera scene and needed someone to guide him and train.
Liu Xuan served as the opera director of this film, and also made a small cameo role in the play, saying a few simple lines, but it was a few cameos in the inner lines that made Xu Ke regret his talent. Soon after, the two began a collaboration that lasted for more than 20 years. In 1987, the 48-year-old Liu Qingjian was the first movie to eat her zombie supreme to play a fierce Maoshan Taoist, with a solid stage foundation, she and the popular Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao objects did not fall behind. As a newcomer to the film, Liu Yuan's performance is really surprising, and the title of Thousand Faces begins with the many classic films he and Xu Ke have cooperated with. In 1990, Liu Xiang played the eunuch for the first time in the film Xiao Ao Jianghu directed by Xu Ke, but all the friends who have watched this film have a fresh memory of the yin and yang weird, fierce old eunuch Gu Gu and Fei, his every look is hidden in the killing machine, in order to recover the stolen sunflower treasure book, he did not hesitate to kill Lin Zhennan's entire family, even the tree that followed him for many years also said to kill, there is no humanity, Liu Xunjiang's role of the body and soul are perfectly combined, fully showing the treachery and ferocity of the factory worker, It can also be shown by the hidden forbearance that is suppressed by the decent. The film brings together many old drama bones such as Lin Zhengying and Noon Ma, but Liu Xuan, as a newcomer, is no less impressive, and was nominated for best supporting actor at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards for this role. In the xiao'ao jianghu, the second oriental undefeated, Liu Xuan became the arrogant sun and moon god sect bright left envoy Xiang Qingtian, the third oriental undefeated storm resurgence it became a transfigured, knowledgeable oriental undefeated, and these three films are called the top of the martial arts film. It is precisely because of the joining of Liu Qian, Wu Ma, Liu Zhaoming and other ashes-level old drama bones that Xu Ke's films have been qualitatively improved. Subsequently, the second Taibei portrayed by Liu Xun is more classic than the first. In 1992, Xu Ke filmed the New Dragon Gate Inn, which is considered by most fans to be the most classic jianghu film
And the eunuch Jia Ting, played by Liu Xun, is known as one of the most classic eunuchs in the history of Chinese film. In this movie, the eunuch Jia Ting is more vocal than the eunuch in the laughing pride of the river, especially the dialogue between Liu Xuan and Liang Jiahui in the film, testing every expression of Liu Xuan, a glance and a smile are dramas, the two are still talking and laughing one second, the next second is murderous, the atmosphere of the sword is overwhelming, and the film is pushed like a climax in an instant
In addition, why can Old Master Liu Xun enjoy the reputation of a thousand faces? In fact, friends who have seen his works know that the main reason is that he can successfully create a role with great contrast. In 1990, in the path between the two ghosts of Qiannu, Liu Xun played the demon monk Pudu Cihang who was a misfortune in the human world, and as soon as he appeared, he brought his own BGM1 song Suo Feng Sanskrit, which can be called the shadow of childhood. When it came to the third part of the Qiannu Ghost, Liu Xuanyi changed the role of the evil sect and transformed into a Baiyun Zen master who descended the demon Voldemort, preferring to sacrifice himself to save the world' sentient beings. In the end, the big battle between him and his grandmother is the highlight of the whole film, even if he is blinded, Baiyun Zen Master still has to fight for the Tao and grandma in his heart to form a sharp contrast with the evil Purdue Cihang before, and this positive and evil two characters blame Liu Xun for acting without any sense of violation. Next, in Jet Li's Huang Feihong series, Liu Xun once again portrayed two completely different characters. In 1991, in Xu Ke's huang feihong yizhi ambition, Liu Xuan changed the image of the previous villain, and became the iron-faced, selfless, loyal and patriotic black flag army commander Liu Yongfu Wrote on the fan that we signed an unequal treaty with foreigners. In 1993, during Huang Feihong's Lion King Battle, he became Huang Feihong's father. From the kindness and love of a generation of grandmaster Huang Qiying in the face of his son to the calm and self-assured when facing the enemy, Liu Xuan's performance is always so delicate and natural, and zhang is relaxed. It is worth mentioning that although he has not practiced martial arts, Huang Qiying in the play shows the style of a master in one move after another when fighting with people, and the momentum is not inferior to any kung fu plot, and it is completely impossible to see that he is a person without a martial arts foundation, which also benefits from Liu Xun's deep Peking Opera skills. Liu Xun's acting skills are like hanging up, and any type of role can be played. Someone once said that what others act like, and what he plays is what. It can be said that from the heavenly gods and demons to the pawns of the peddlers, Liu Xuan can switch with one button. If you don't look at the cast, the audience has no idea that this is the same person, so he is given a nickname of a thousand faces. In fact, as long as you have seen these liu Xuan plays, you know how strong his ability to shape characters is. Later, netizens also summed up a set of logic, saying that Liu Xun's old man with a beard is a good person, and without a beard is a big villain. The old eunuch who kills people in the rivers and lakes without blinking, the eunuch Jia Ting of the East Factory in the center of the ancient and modern Fuxin Dragon Gate Inn, the Daoist species between the two ghosts of Qiannu, and the demon monks who are evil in the world, these are all big villains without beards, and the good people with beards have the white cloud Zen of the demon Voldemort in the three daos of the ghost of Qiannu is The loyal and patriotic Black Flag Army commander Liu Yongfu and Huang Feihong, his father Huang Qiying, Taiji Zhang Sanfeng and the amiable Master Jueyuan in the Huang Feihong series of movies. Of course, this is only most of the movies, but there are still deviations in some movies, such as the high ball with a beard in the hero of the Water Margin is the villain, and Yan Zhen, who has a mustache in the gambling bully, is also a villain. Although this kind of example is only an individual, it is undeniable that no matter what role is played, Liu Xiang can be handy, and his ability to have a thousand faces looks simple, but the temperament transformation between each character is very exquisite, requiring a deep performance foundation and meticulous speculation on the characters, which is not something that can be done overnight. In contrast, the current flow actors, who dare to act on stage when their lines are not clear, and Mr. Number, who was guest starred by Huang Bo some time ago, actually used 1234567 to replace the lines.
These actors are really punching in the face 12345675054214214214567 after entering the 21st century, Liu Xun's grandfather rarely has works due to physical reasons. In 2013, a generation of grandmasters with Wong Kar-wai became his last film so far. Today, Mr. Liu is 82 years old, he once said that he had nothing in his life, but when he looked back, he found that he seemed to have experienced everything and tried everything. Indeed, he has long reached the realm of the unity of human nature, but it is a pity that an old drama bone like him who plays a good person can become a Buddha, and a bad person can become a demon, but he has never been able to get a reputation that matches his acting skills. Even many people do not know that there is such a sweeping monk in the show business circle, although he has not won the honor of film emperor in his life, but his card position has definitely reached this realm, and this title of a thousand faces is well deserved with her.
