I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

In "Spring Tree", his portrayal of the confused character returning home was particularly touching, and the scene where he encountered his first love at the village entrance was heart-wrenching.

When their eyes met, his gaze first lit up, then slowly dimmed. His lips moved but he didn't say anything. His hands unconsciously clenched his clothes, and his fingertips turned white.

His first love left him, and he stood there with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't cry, his heart was full of loss and helplessness.

These small details, without saying much, just through facial expressions and gestures, can perfectly convey the confusion and helplessness of people returning home.

Director Zhang Lü said he was "very natural, as if he were one with the character."

This "unpretentious acting" style is most likely to gain international recognition.

With this Best Actor title, he has gained a place on the international stage.

However, his method of selecting films has also caused some trouble.

While "less is more" ensures quality, it also means lower exposure.

Moreover, his performance was too restrained.

In big-budget commercial films, it's really not easy to grab the audience's attention at once.

His acting roles have certain limitations in terms of commercial adaptability.

Many viewers are 'frightened' by the roles he plays.

For example, in "Punishment 2", his portrayal of Liu Tian was absolutely insane.

Liu Tian, ​​a character who gradually transforms from a lowly commoner into a crazy and ambitious man, was portrayed with distinct layers by him. Every micro-expression was full of drama, and many people exclaimed that "I can't recognize this as Guan Gu Shenqi from back then."

In a film and television industry teeming with villainous roles, Wang Chuanjun's acting skills have truly broken through the ranks, demonstrating with his talent what it means to "play a human character without playing a villain."

Compared to other actors who specialize in playing villains, Wang Chuanjun's acting style is exceptionally unique.

When it comes to villains, people might think of Zhang Songwen's Gao Qiqiang, whose calm and experienced demeanor as a ruthless and cunning figure relies on his accumulated aura; or they might think of Qin Hao's Zhang Dongsheng, who creates a contrast with the sinister nature beneath his gentle exterior.

Wang Chuanjun takes a "deep dive into details" approach. He designs characters with a vulture-like forward-leaning posture to highlight their predatory nature; he makes characters devoutly clasp their hands when worshipping Buddha, and instantly switch to a cold face when turning around to kill. This extreme sense of contradiction makes the characters more vivid.

Just like Lu Bingkun in "All for the Winner" and Liu Tian in "Punishment 2", both are villains, but one is a greedy and ruthless fraud boss and the other is a crazy and ambitious man who rises from the bottom. There is no sense of repetition at all.

Who would have thought that Wang Chuanjun, who rose to fame for his role as the comedic cartoonist Guan Gu in "iPartment," would one day become synonymous with "chameleon-like" acting?

From the humble Lü Shouyi in "Dying to Survive" to the cowardly traitor Wang Guanghai in "Nanjing Photo Studio" and then to Liu Tianye in "Punishment 2", each role is completely different.

This breakthrough doesn't rely on exaggerated styling, but on a deep exploration of the character's humanity—the villains he plays are never stereotypical "bad," but rather "people" with struggles and vulnerabilities.

Just like when Liu Tian faced his brother Zhao Peng, his eyes showed both anger and numbness, which made the character more complex and real.

His co-star Kim Sung even said frankly, "When we were filming 'All or Nothing,' I was really scared when he was acting."

Wang Chuanjun's acting skills have also been recognized by both the industry and the audience.

In contrast, Jiangsu Film Academy, a master's graduate, was completely outclassed by Wang Chuanjun in terms of acting skills. No wonder Wang Chuanjun joked that she had nothing outstanding except for her fair skin.

Jiangsu Ying only came into the public eye at the age of 26 with her role as Ruan Wan in "So Young".

Despite winning numerous "Best Supporting Actress" awards for this role, she remained insecure about herself due to frequent interruptions during filming.

On one hand, there was her beauty and top-ranking grades, both recognized by her classmates; on the other hand, there was her self-doubt stemming from frequent rejections by the audience. In Wang Chuanjun's words, Jiangsu Ying often used "arrogance to mask her inferiority complex." Later, Jiangsu Ying landed leading roles in various dramas, but never had a breakout role. What people talked about most was her brief relationship with Hu Ge, which was accidentally exposed at the airport in 2014.

After playing cute and quiet roles, Jiangsu Film Studio began to seek a transformation, starring in a series of workplace dramas, including Wang Manni in "Nothing But Thirty" and Ye Zhenzhen in "Ode to Joy 3", which earned her critical acclaim.

Although the transformation wasn't as dramatic as Wang Chuanjun's, it's not hard to observe that Jiangsu Film Studio's performances have improved and changed.

With such a talented actor offered to him, Cheng Sheng had no reason not to accept him. From now on, Shengli Film and Television Company would have its own dedicated villain actors.

"Jiangjiang, I believe in you. Tomorrow, have your classmate come to the company and ask the talent agency to give him a new contract."

Cheng Sheng said.

"Okay, boss, I won't keep you any longer. I'll tell my classmate the good news."

Jiangsu Ying was overjoyed to hear that Cheng Sheng had agreed, and turned to leave like a swift wind.

……

News of the Shengli Film Company's year-end meeting spread quickly.

With so many people at the meeting, it was impossible to hide it even if one wanted to, and besides, Cheng Sheng had no intention of hiding it.

People in the entertainment industry have been paying close attention to Cheng Sheng and his company.

The entire entertainment industry was in an uproar when they heard about Shengli Film Company's plans for next year.

Three movies, one of which is a historical film about Cheng Sheng, which is a big production.

Domestic artists have been calling Shengli Film Company, hoping to get a share of the profits or a role.

Although they may not necessarily get an important role, being able to participate in Cheng Sheng's movies, even as an extra, is a huge opportunity for some actors.

It would be even better if we could use this opportunity to establish a connection with Cheng Sheng.

People who are familiar with Cheng Sheng will send him messages or call him.

"Director Cheng, do you have time to get together?"

Xun called Cheng Sheng and asked him the question immediately.

"That kind of occasion is really not suitable for me, so I'd better not go. Besides, I'm at home working on the script and don't have time. You guys have fun!" Cheng Sheng refused.

Xun'er, who was in the hot pot restaurant, was a little disappointed when she heard this. She hadn't seen Cheng Sheng for a long time since the filming of "Ten Red Army Soldiers" was completed. She had planned to invite Cheng Sheng out to ask about the new movie and see if there was a chance to introduce her friends to him.

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Sheng refused.

However, this was within her expectations.

During the filming of "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off", she learned about Cheng Gusheng and knew that he didn't like crowds or parties.

Their daily routines are frighteningly regular.

Other celebrities in the entertainment industry are constantly socializing, and their private lives are even more chaotic.

They usually rest at midnight, and staying up all night is the norm for them. (End of Chapter)
