The movie "Beyond" made a good box office performance. Ryan finally put himself down.
"People always call me Little Cheetah, so they chose Beyond."
"I find more and more that the role of’ Hao Chao’ is very similar to myself."
"Beyond" can be said that I am a summary or report of the past ten years. "
"The role of’ Hao Chao’ is the most beautiful role I have ever presented … …
Special feature of 1905 film network In just 20 minutes, the number of golden sentences confided to us is no less than the chicken soup in the movie. Admittedly, this time he was distracted.
At the premiere, Vivi, a wife who is also an actor, made a confession, saying, "Although I am very distressed, this is Ryan’s dream, and I will always support it anyway." A few short sentences won the headlines of the day and poked each other’s lacrimal glands.
The film Beyond is the first film produced by Ryan and starring in it, and it is also the first film produced by Cheetah Media. Only he knows the ups and downs of the stories behind it.
As early as three years ago, the audience saw a different Ryan in the movie. At that time, he told us that he was going to take the initiative to prepare his own works. We all thought that he would choose to transform into a director like a good brother. As a result, he is still willing to focus on the identity of an actor and put the quality of his works first. "Will there be more’ Ryan Producer’ works in the future?" "If there is an opportunity, there will definitely be another one."
chance
Ryan’s opportunity is the market performance of the film Beyond. Four-day, three-day single-day box office champion. But before carefully resuming the market performance, let’s start "Beyond" again. The film Beyond was released at the end of 2019. At that time, the project was called Speed Beyond, but later Ryan thought the name was too similar to the theme of racing, so he gave up. He once considered changing it to After the Finish Line, but he finally decided that a simple and direct name would be good, and finally decided on the name, Beyond.
There are many choices of names, and there are also many scripts before Ryan. Let’s keep running. Many viewers are familiar with Ryan, mostly from the variety show Run, Brother. In this program, everyone found that he ran so fast, and slowly, "Little Cheetah" became synonymous with him. Many people don’t know that he received sprint training in high school, and the memory of this experience has been accompanied by his growth.
Sports movies are difficult to shoot, which is a conclusion recognized by many filmmakers. No matter what kind of sports, the scheduling of competitive venues is far more difficult than many big action scenes. It is necessary not only to show the professionalism of sports, but also to show the blood of the competition process. Besides, with a little effort, the screenwriter may be particularly successful. "Beyond" is an original story, and there is no prototype for reference. All its ideas are written by Ryan with the director and screenwriter. "The script has been written a lot, and many adjustments have been made in the early stage of the shooting plan."
For the 100-meter dash, Zheng Kai has inexhaustible life philosophy and sports philosophy. After much deliberation, he decided to make the project "Beyond" his "first film". Not only that, he also brought in the running family, known as the "big iron cow" title, and also showed the power behind the title in Beyond. Such a configuration in the film market, how to look at it, is directly full of business indexes, but also topical enough.
Ryan did not evade the commercial pursuit of this work, but in fact, in the early stage, the effect of the film will be more artistic, "or, a style that is not acceptable to the public." Perhaps because of the fans of the authorities, Ryan and the director found many audiences to make a movie trial, and also found many friends in the industry around them to watch it. After repeated adjustments and revisions, it took more than a year to get the current version.
sound
Is it really possible for Ryan to transform into a producer? This is the most popular voice on the Internet after the official announcement of Beyond. Public opinion is no stranger to Ryan. Although he has played many roles since his debut, it is still the variety show that really made him popular among the whole people. Even though he handed over the perfect answer sheet in the movie Shadow, many passers-by still said that when they saw Ryan and Deng Chao, they felt that they would start to "tear up famous brands" at any time.
"Variety Coffee" became the most famous brand on Ryan’s body, while "Actor" was forgotten by some audiences. "Transcendence" became an opportunity for him, and Ryan almost put all his efforts into it. "This is why I am only the starring and producer, and I didn’t participate in the title of director, but I also want to go to a higher direction on the road of actor." But when it comes to the regret of this movie, he tells us that the regret is not a little fatter.
In fact, Ryan gained 40 Jin in two months because of filming Beyond. During that period, Ryan in the past became "Ryan XXL", whether in variety shows or on the red carpet. However, the outside world does not know that his body shape is to prepare for the new film, and all kinds of doubts are one after another. Some people directly swear that this is the actor’s lack of self-discipline; Some are teasing, and the "little cheetah" has become a "little seal". "We can’t guarantee to win all the time, but the only thing we can do is not to be afraid of losing." This line in the movie Beyond is also the inner projection that Ryan doesn’t care about these realistic voices. It was not until the movie roadshow began that the audience walked into the cinema and found out that it was all for the works.
Even if it is "thin", it is different in Ryan’s view. "The thinness of sports school students is that kind of lean, and the whole needs to maintain a certain sense of lines." To this end, at the age of 35, he followed the sports school students to exercise and live together, and in just half a year, he received 9% body fat. The subsequent fattening process is particularly painful, with short cycle and sufficient effect, so Ryan can only keep eating. In fact, there are many ways to make yourself fat, such as makeup, special effects, silicone, body double … … These methods can only make the body show, but it is difficult for the actors to really become roles.
It is Ryan’s favorite sports movie. In Ryan’s view, it is the pinnacle of the actor De Niro’s performance. He gained 60 pounds in the film. "It is the most basic self-cultivation of the actor."
After constant polishing, Ryan made a tribute with his behavior. Hao surpassed this role and became the most beautiful role he thought he had completed. "I haven’t slept very well these two days, not because of my anxiety, but because of this excitement." We sitting opposite him can directly feel this joy.
"I didn’t want to admit it before, but after the roadshow, I found more and more that Hao Chao’s role is very similar to myself." Hearing this sentence, we can’t help but pause. In the impression of several interviews, Ryan has always been a confident person, but his sudden confession seems a little cramped. So, did Transcendence change Ryan?
splendid
Hao Chaoyue in the movie Beyond once had the glory envied by everyone, and so did Zheng Kai in reality. When studying at Shanghai Theatre Academy, Ryan was a famous "advertising little prince". While other students were still running the cast, he was already driving a sports car. However, during the period of graduation, he didn’t get more opportunities because of this. He still held his own information, and went around different crews to sell himself to directors.
Even so, Ryan did not feel that he had failed. In 2013, Ryan ushered in its own small explosion, "To Youth" … … Although none of them are actors’ scenes, several roles do not lose their standard.
Especially in 2018, he participated in Shadow. Although he was criticized for his variety face, more people think that Ryan ushered in an acting explosion. "I used to feel that I was very powerful, especially at the peak, but now I have begun to feel peaceful." He has been in the business for more than ten years, and Ryan has been able to hand over satisfactory answers to both box office results and word-of-mouth works. At this time, he seems to have more time to think.
"Is" Beyond "a summary of its own stages?" We try to summarize this conversation and find the closest connection between Ryan and Transcendence. Compared with other questions, he paused here and slowly gave the answer. "I think it is," Beyond "can be said to be a summary or report of my past ten years of filming." It is true that whether he used to be a little proud or he is willing to be honest with himself now, the idea of being a producer began to sprout from the day he entered the business.
"The past 10 years may have been busy. I have been working hard between various crews, interpreting different lives and expressing the wishes that different directors want to express. I slowly found that there seems to be no self-understanding of movies and life. Understanding."
"Beyond" is actually not the first film and television work produced by Zheng Kai. After the filming of "Shadow", he gave himself a long vacation, looked at various scripts handed over by the team and patiently found the right resonance from it. Finally, in 2018, Ryan spent more than half a year as a producer and starring, producing the suspense drama "Ordinary".
The director of this series is also the director of Beyond, Han Bowen. Although the two often "love each other and kill each other" for their ideas, the purpose is clear: "To make better works, find some characters and themes that can make all breakthroughs." After the release of Transcendence, Ryan and his story may come to an end temporarily, and more is to look forward to the next movie story. There are still many projects in Ryan’s computer, some of which began to hatch together with Beyond, and some were added later.
But what will be next? I still know. "If a character or a story makes me feel impulsive and enthusiastic to create, I will definitely continue."
