For her beloved dance career, Yang Liping directly painted clothes on her body. Not many people can do such a dedicated job. But I think there are still some actors who deserve the title of "dedicated to art". 01. Yan Huaili? He doesn’t care about remuneration when filming, and he doesn’t even care about his health.
Yan Huaili was the actor who played the role of Sha Seng in "Journey to the West". The role he played is still a classic in everyone's hearts even after so many years. In "Journey to the West", he not only played the role of Sha Seng, but also played many other small roles. There were twenty roles in total, but he did not ask for a penny of pay.
His love for acting has gone beyond his desire for money and profits. What he loves is filming. What he enjoys is the process, not the fame and fortune that will bring him after filming. Comparing the current "digital ladies" and "cutout actors" in the entertainment industry, Yan Huaili really deserves our respect.
In 1993, Yan Huaili accidentally inhaled too much dichlorvos in order to film his part, causing a lung infection. In 2009, Yan Huaili passed away. One of the main reasons why he inhaled too much dichlorvos was because he had been filming for many years and his body was aging rapidly, resulting in his sense of smell getting worse and worse.
Yan Huaili’s dedication to art is touching and admirable. 02. Wu Jing was injured many times while filming and had no complaints.
Although Wu Jing is an actor who became famous relatively late, in the current entertainment industry, Wu Jing can definitely have a name as an actor who can truly devote himself to art. When he was filming "Little Lee's Flying Knife" in his early years, Wu Jing's eye was directly injured and he was almost blind; and when filming "Fist of Life and Death", Wu Jing fell from a high altitude and suffered a concussion.
I thought that as Wu Jing grew older, he would slowly retreat behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, after filming "Wolf Warrior", he suffered countless large and small wounds on his body, and fractures and dislocations were commonplace. Even for filming, after the skin around Wu Jing's eyes tore, he directly glued it up with medical glue to avoid affecting the filming.
For Wu Jing, when filming action scenes, he has to do it himself. Regardless of whether he will be injured or in danger, he must do it himself. Even though today there are various electronic technologies and various special effects makeup artists, which make it very easy to shoot good-looking action scenes, he still believes that action scenes must be performed by himself.
Wu Jing, who is so serious, is really manly. 03. Tang Wei and Tony Leung? Appeared naked for filming
I believe many people have watched Tang Wei and Tony Leung's "Lust, Caution", and Tang Wei was banned because of this movie. Everyone may have different opinions on this movie, but I think Tang Wei and Tony Leung really worked hard to express the entire story.
The most noteworthy thing is that the two of them appeared naked for the purpose of filming. They did not use borrowed positions or use some technology to process, but actually appeared naked, just to express the story. The feeling to be expressed. Yang Liping wore no clothes for the peacock dance, and they also appeared naked for filming.
How many current actors can achieve this level? Even if you bring together directors such as Ang Lee, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou and invite them to film, they may not be willing to appear naked, right? But Tang Wei and Tony Leung are willing! It's not that they wanted to attract attention. At that time, they really didn't need to make "Lust, Caution" just to attract attention.
Don’t they rely on their love for art?
However, among today’s young people and flowers, there is really no one who can truly devote themselves to art like Yang Liping.
