Shawn Yue entered the entertainment industry in 17 years, that is, in 20 17 years. He was nominated for the best actor in the first Hong Kong Film Awards for his film "A Missing Mind", and the third film in the series "Charming in Spring" was released on April 28th. A series of glamorous labels such as "male god", "strength school" and "trendy man" are attached to him.
As a pure post-80s "Hong Kong native", he accepted an exclusive interview with the Beijing News reporter on the eve of the release of the new film. In the face of overwhelming praise, Shawn Yue always keeps a calm smile. The "old driver" in this actor has long since failed to pay attention to fame and fortune as people imagined, knowing the way of "following fate" and the "truth" of love. For a "big shot", he can have many life experiences and laugh off the situation in Vanity Fair.
Love: "Men are more emotional than women." Starting from Zhiming and Chunjiao in 2009, Shawn Yue's version of Zhiming and Miriam Yeung's version of Chunjiao have become synonymous with Hong Kong couples, and they are also the epitome of men and women in love. Although he has always been the "male god" in the eyes of fans, the role of Zhang Zhiming played by Shawn Yue in Peng Haoxiang's love films is always labeled as "love rat".
Shawn Yue was only 29 years old when she first played this role, from Zhiming and Chunjiao's Love of a Pure Son to Chunjiao's rescue of Zhiming. "The defects and advantages in Zhang Zhiming's personality are shared by most men, and boys mature late." In fact, Shawn Yue's "doing the opposite" has been going on for a long time. Even he admits that the real him is very similar to Zhang Zhiming, but not the "scum" part.
As for "the appearance of love", just like the love in buff in the movie, "there is no regionality". In the reality show "Let's Love", he and CP in Zhou Dongyu concocted a lot of "dog food"; Once misunderstood, he also used the most low-key and steady way to resolve the scandal with Hong Kong female DJ. In Shawn Yue's eyes, women are rational, while men are more emotional: "Women will think that I should get married today because I am old, which is very rational; Men will get married if they feel like it. The location is not important. Anyway, I love you and you love me. It doesn't matter anywhere. This is very emotional. "
Until now, young couples will still remember the game "dry ice in the toilet"
Therefore, he doesn't think that a "middle girl" like Chunjiao (referring to older leftover women) is very good, and he doesn't think Zhiming is very scum. As for his own love, he also has a vision. "In the future, my wife and I hope that I will be responsible for it. I don't want her to work. I will respect her unless she really wants to work. "
Beijing News: Have you ever met a girl like Chun Jiao in real life? Will you stay away from her?
Shawn Yue: No, when you understand why she has such a motive, you will understand why she "did it". When you really like someone, you will accept her strengths and weaknesses.
Why do they think Zhang Zhiming is love rat and Yu Chunjiao is a middle-aged woman? It is because the audience has a sense of substitution and no sense of distance, which is a good thing for actors. What I fear most is that after the performance, the audience will respond: Oh, this is a play by Shawn Yue. That means I didn't succeed.
As the theme of "brotherly love" which is not surprising now, the story themes of Zhiming and Chunjiao always go straight to the differences of mentality and situation between mature men and women, revealing the eternal childlike innocence of men and the "mental derangement" emotion caused by women's insecurity.
Zhang Zhiming and Yu Chunjiao stripped the essence of ordinary people's love. Peng Haoxiang said that the film is about "when two people have been in love for a long time, you will need someone to save you, a spiritual rescue, to help you grow up and let this relationship continue."
Academy Awards: "Those comforting messages are more important than my winning the prize", and Shawn Yue's other recent eye-catching film besides "Spring Jiao Save Zhiming" is "In a Moment", which was nominated as the leading actor in the Academy Awards. This is a special work starring Shawn Yue and Ceng Zhiwei, with zero pay. In the film, Shawn Yue plays a sad psychopath, and the dark past of killing his mother makes him fall into despair. This role once made Shawn Yue almost unable to extricate himself. In order to play as soon as possible, he even flew home immediately after filming, trying to get out of the "morbid" situation as soon as possible.
From Infernal Affairs, The Legend of the Flying Tiger Heroes to Men's True Color, before the age of 30, Shawn Yue seems to have played the most important role in the film, with blood and tenacity. Even in the Army Chicken directed by Zheng Baorui, he played a violent fighter, dark and stylish. At that time, he used to take "getting the best actor before the age of 30" as his career ideal.

But after the age of 30, he consciously changed obviously, thinking that "I have nothing to grow up in particular" and his work attitude is "fearless". In his own words, "I'm surprised that I'm not afraid of anyone as long as there's a' rollover'."
So he began to choose some scripts that he had never played, such as the manic patient in Ignorance, Erlang God in Wukong Biography, and the villain in Mad Beast. The selling point of each drama is different, even if it is a gangster film with the same theme, some sell personal charm and role charm, and some highlight actions, stunts, thrills and nervousness.

"I don't want to win an award or nomination. I've made so many movies over the years. I hope I can choose something fresh when I have a choice. "
Having said that, when Ignorance was nominated for eight Oscars, Shawn Yue admitted that he was under pressure. Especially after director Qin Huang, actor Ceng Zhiwei and Jin Yanling won the laurels one after another, Ceng Zhiwei told him after winning the prize: "I took it, I hope you will take it too."
No one knows that Shawn Yue didn't prepare any acceptance speech at that time. His mother called to remind him, "I said I'm really not prepared, and I'm not prepared, so that's it."
After the award ceremony, he received numerous text messages, both comforting and aggrieved. "Their information is warmer and more real than winning the prize. Because I have never received so many calls. "
Beijing News: You once said that the goal before the age of 30 is to win the best actor. For example, you are over 30 this year, and you just won a prize not long ago.
Shawn Yue: When I was a child, every boy said he would marry Michelle monique Rice. Did you get it? Michelle monique Rice is one of them. She has always wanted to marry Kimura Takuya. Is she married? Not even married.
Beijing News: Are you disappointed to hear the final result of the Academy Awards?
Shawn Yue: Every actor tries to shoot what he thinks is right. There is only one prize a year. Can it be said that those who are not nominated and those who are not shortlisted are not well filmed? As for the loss, there is, because the first three prizes have been won. If I win, it will be perfect, just like a home run. If I don't get it, I will feel that I have failed their expectations. From this time on, I found that many times my pressure came from others. (Colleagues around) They are all more nervous than me. I'm also nervous to see their faces. I also know that they mean well. The moment I announced it, I thought, Oh, what should I do?
Family: I started to support my family from my debut, but now I have become an "idiot" at home. For Shawn Yue, "high face value" was once his greatest advantage; In addition to him, there are brothers and sisters to support at home, and parents are under great pressure. Fortunately, I met him in high school, and then I set foot on the runway and became a full-time model after my studies. From then on, Shawn Yue took on the responsibility of supporting his family, from the daily necessities at home to his sister's tuition, which made him realize the full meaning of "big man".
A "big shot" needs the ability to make money, which is why Shawn Yue can persist in his career as an actor. Since he appeared in the youth idol drama "Youth @Y2K" in 2000, he has appeared in nearly 80 film and television works, which means that he has been working nonstop for 17 years. Be old friends in the same industry, such as Feng Delun and Ceng Guoxiang. Being a director one after another, he still bowed his head and filmed. "They made a wrong choice. It's too hard to be a director. In fact, everyone works hard, but my personality is not suitable for being a director. I don't like to care too much, because the director is the chief controller. He has to control the lights, control the actors, and control a lot. I like to focus on one thing and don't like to control many different things. "
Running around the set all the year round makes him look like an idiot at home. He can neither do housework nor write checks. "It doesn't matter if he lacks the concept of money. As long as the family can sit around the table and have a happy meal, it is my greatest satisfaction."
In Shawn Yue's eyes, money is for spending. "It's gone. Anyway, I earned every point myself. From nothing to now, the happiness and health of my family is more important to me than anything else; And if one day the money runs out, it will just make me change back to my original appearance. Anyway, I am not a rich second generation. " So he once said bluntly, "I tell you, I can retire tomorrow."
Beijing News: You said you didn't want your other half to go out to work in the future, but you always said "retirement"?
Shawn Yue: Actually, money is not important. What is the difference? Just use it better and eat it better. I really don't think money is something I value very much. Because money and happiness are not on the same line. For example, my sister and her husband are both ordinary people. They are all very happy, and so is my brother. Neither of them is a materialist, but they are happy. They are both happier than me.
Q: How to understand the word "male god"?
Shawn Yue: I'm afraid people will call me by that name. I think it's too girly and dreamy. It seems that this word should be used to describe children. Maybe what I pursue and like is different from what everyone thinks. Of course, I don't resist the name, but I'm not happy either. Because all my favorite actors are older, the youngest is Tom Hardy, who is also in his thirties. I prefer more aggressive actors, such as Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando, and then Heath Ledger, who has passed away. They are not necessarily tough guys, but every work will feel that he is the man (the role played) and the most handsome performance. What he looks like is really difficult to play.
Q: Do you think you are similar to Zhang Zhiming?
Shawn Yue: Everyone loves beauty.
Q: What is the next crazy plan to be realized?
Shawn Yue: It's crazy to take a year off. I don't think it's possible.
Q: When you feel tired, how do you keep fit? Would you want to give up?
Shawn Yue: Think about how painful it will be if you don't practice and then practice.

Q: Everyone says you are a hipster. You also have a fashion shop in Beijing, but why do you always like to wear military green clothes?
Shawn Yue: I like Tom Cruise's clothes in Top Gun and Taxi Driver very much, because I am a military uniform controller. I think many soldiers' clothes are particularly stylish.
△ There are quite a few military green clothes.
Q: Will you consider opening more stores in the Mainland?
Shawn Yue: I'm so tired. I really can't do anything when I'm in control.
