After entering the year 2000, several veteran actors left us one by one.

Such as Guanhai Mountain;

Shi Jian;

The afternoon horse;

Cheng Kui’an;

Dong Biao, Shen Dianxia;

And so on.

At the beginning of this year, what shocked and saddened me the most was the departure of Wu Mengda.

After Uncle Da passed away on February 27, many superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, and others sent messages of condolence.

Major portals, social media, and self-media have expressed their regret for Uncle Da, and social platforms such as Weibo WeChat have also aroused national nostalgia.

What’s more rare is that Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily and other official media have also issued multiple articles to mourn and review Uncle Da’s life.

The death of Uncle Da seemed to remind everyone of this golden supporting actor who had accompanied him in his childhood, youth, and even middle age.

Although the old saying goes: man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.

But Uncle Da’s life seemed to have been like a feather, spinning in the wind behind the light, but at the moment of the final landing, it shook the corner of everyone’s heart that had almost been forgotten.

"Forgetting" is Uncle Da’s key word

Uncle Da is not always remembered by people.

We always remember "Xingzai and Uncle Da", but after Zhou Xingchi’s influence grew, Uncle Da was gradually not mentioned.

Especially after Zhou Xingchi became the director, people no longer tied the two, but looked forward to the sublimation of Zhou Xingchi more, while Uncle Da was drowned in many small-scale movies.

In 2016, there was a question on Zhihu: Who are the outstanding actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?

At the beginning, there were many people answering questions about Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Leung Ka Fai, Maggie Cheung, and other leading actors and actresses. However, in the end, an answer about Uncle Da’s acting skills received the highest number of likes, and today, they are all ranked first.

Maybe it’s because all the people who watched Uncle Da’s movies have grown up.

When we were young, we all liked the protagonist.

Because we will imagine that one day, we will also become the protagonist, strategizing, maneuvering, and exuding dazzling charm in the crowd.

But when we grow up, we realize that we are not the protagonists.

We may be the third uncle in "Gambling Saint";

It may be the Taibao in "Heaven Ruoyou Love";

It may be the loyal uncle in "Urban Love";

It could be Ming Feng from Shaolin Football.

Even the boss in "God of Cookery" is not the protagonist of the work.

The reason why people top the answer about Uncle Da is only because most people have starred in a movie.

And the name of this movie is "The Life of a Supporting Actor".

Uncle Da was like this. Only when he was forgotten to the point of almost disappearing would he be remembered by people.

Is that demeaning?

No, definitely not.

Da Shu said in an interview with "New Oolong Courtyard": "The protagonist and the supporting actor are just a noun. When you perform, every character should be treated as the most important."

What the supporting role needs to do is to make people forget his existence and his sharpness in order to make the protagonist stand out even more.

Uncle Da, who took the initiative to make the audience "forget", was gradually "forgotten" by the audience passively, but every time you think of it, everyone will feel that this person has actually evolved into your heart.

"In 100 years, I hope the audience will still remember me."

Uncle Da’s acting skills are of course top-notch.

Although most of the time, he is playing a "bad character".

Wretched, sloppy, chicken thief, frivolous, stupid, weak…

He was like the idle middle-aged greasy man we could see on the way to and from class. His origin was unknown, his background was unclear, and it was better to live than die. When he saw someone he knew, he would greet him with a smile, say a few words without beginning or end, and then disappear into the crowd.

But we don’t hate that kind of uncle.

Because we remember in "Variety Star Lord", the dog leg Uncle Da asked Xingzai to cut off his hand;

Remember "martial arts champion Su Qier", the down-and-out uncle and Xingzai eat a bowl of dog food together;

I remember that in "Tian Ruoyou Qing", Uncle Da covered the blood spurting from the wound with a proud face;

Remember that in "Love in the City", Uncle Da took his son out of prison on crutches;

Remember "Black Prison Heartbreak Song", Uncle Da laughed at his own experience, but hid from others to cry;

Remember "Shaolin Football", Uncle Da smiled but not smiled, as if crying but not crying helplessly;

I also remember Uncle Da’s emaciated body and powerful performance in "The Wandering Earth".

As Zhihu said in his reply:

Uncle Da’s acting is different from Stephen Chow’s.

Stephen Chow is the ultimate comedian, while Uncle Da is the playboy.

Whether it is a small person or a hero, whether it is serious or funny, Uncle Da can perform well.

So we can see Uncle Da playing the villain;

You can see Uncle Da playing the villain;

You can also see Uncle Da playing a doctor playing politics.

Uncle Da said in an interview with the 1905 film network:

"I can’t live without my acting. I love acting very much. Many people ask me, I’m almost 70, why do you love acting? Although I was sick a few years ago and my heart was not good, I have been following movies and the development of Chinese movies. I really like being an actor. In fact, I can move behind the scenes very early, but I just don’t want to go. I hope that in 50 years, 100 years, there will still be audiences who can remember Wu Mengda."

A protagonist of an era

We probably won’t be able to live to 100 years from now, but will anyone remember Uncle Da in 100 years?

I believe there is.

Because Uncle Da, who has played supporting roles all his life, is the protagonist of an era.

Da Shu, who was born in Xiamen, moved his family to Hong Kong at the age of 7.

At the age of 20, he attended the Hong Kong Wireless Artist Training Course with Chow Yun-fat and was always at the top of the class, pressuring Chow Yun-fat.

At the age of 26, because Hu Tiehua in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" became popular, he began a life of eating, drinking, drinking, and gambling.

At the age of 35, Uncle Da, who rose from the bottom of the valley, began to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi. This cooperation lasted for 30 years and created a new brilliant life.

Uncle Tat’s life is like the ebb and flow of Hong Kong movies.

From a small harbor that no one paid attention to, it suddenly ushered in the golden age, gradually deteriorated in the feasting, and went to a desperate situation. Under the support of nobles, it ushered in the peak of travel, and finally, under the torrent of the times, helplessly exited.

Uncle Da’s acting is worth remembering, not just because he acted well, but because he experienced such a unique and dynamic era.

Including the actors of his era, the torrent of the times has left a mark on their faces, which is a kind of imprint that can make the audience feel the sense of story even without doing too much performance.

Uncle Da said in "Thirteen Invitations": "If you have not suffered, you will not know what performance is."

Nowadays, we criticize young actors for their poor acting skills. Sometimes it is not their fault that they are not good at learning, but they do not have some specific experiences. How can they interpret the traces left by the years?

Among the green leaf actors who have gradually faded over the years, most of us only lament that time prompts people to grow old. Only when Uncle Da passed away did we feel the end of the era. In fact, it is because among the supporting roles, Uncle Da’s works are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, have greater influence, and have the imprint of the times.

Uncle Da and countless green leaf actors jointly performed a movie called "The Life of a Supporting Actor", and Uncle Da was the absolute protagonist of this movie.

"A Dream-seeking Journey" says: When a person is forgotten, he is truly dead.

If this is the case, Uncle Da will be remembered by people for a long, long time…

　　Beijing Benz’s new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long-wheelbase models have launched a total of six models, and the official guide price range is 449,000-529,800 yuan. Compared with the previous generation, the new generation (11th generation) Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been greatly improved and upgraded as a whole, especially equipped with a number of domestic market-specific configurations in terms of comfort configuration and intelligence, and the power is still equipped with a 2.0T engine with high and low power adjustment. Then, how should we buy a new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase models?　

　　The new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long-wheelbase models has cancelled the configuration level of "E 300 L distinguished model". At present, all six models are actually divided into three configuration levels, namely, entry-level E 260 L sedan and E 260 L sports sedan, middle-level E 300 L fashion sedan and E 300 L sports sedan, and high-level E.

　　The body length, width and height of the new generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase models are 5092/1880/1493mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3094mm, only the wheelbase length is 133mm longer than that of the standard wheelbase version. Even compared with the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class long-wheelbase model, the overall dimensions of the new generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class long-wheelbase version have also increased. The new generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase model is the first Mercedes-Benz model equipped with the third generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, and also the first luxury brand model equipped with Qualcomm 8295 intelligent cockpit chip. Qualcomm 8295 intelligent cockpit chip adopts 5 nm process technology, combined with the faster network speed provided by 5G communication technology, and with the newly upgraded "mind-reading voice assistant", it supports colloquial language interaction and issues multiple instructions at one time, thus making voice interaction more natural and smooth.

　　The 360 surround ambient light equipped on the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long-wheelbase vehicles has the function of "moving with the sound", which can work together with the audio system and automatically adjust the interior lighting according to the music rhythm. With the 21-speaker Burmester audio system and seat oscillator, it can bring a more stereoscopic sound experience to the occupants in the car.

　　The new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase vehicles have L2+ level auxiliary driving ability, which can automatically change lanes, overtake and avoid large vehicles on expressways and urban expressways, and automatically enter or leave the ramp. Moreover, all these functions have been customized locally, so that they can adapt to smaller lane-changing space and lower lane-changing speed (50km/h).

　　The new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase models are also equipped with more than 10 exclusive luxury and comfortable rear seats in China, such as electric adjustable rear seats that can be laid down 36, extended rear seat cushions, electric adjustable rear seat leg rests and velvet luxury rear headrest with neck heating function; In addition, there are comprehensive configurations such as coherent ambient lights in the back seat and wireless charging in the back seat, which can further enhance the riding experience of the rear passengers.

　　As the entry-level models of the whole department, the "E 260 L sedan" and "E 260 L sports sedan" with a guide price of 449,000 yuan are equipped with 2.0T low-power engines (maximum power of 150kW and maximum torque of 320 Nm). Compared with the "E 300 L" model equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine (maximum power of 190kW and maximum torque of 400Nm), the gap in power performance is still relatively large. The entry-level models of "E 260 L sedan" and "E 260 L sports sedan" don’t come standard with functions such as 360 panoramic image, seat memory in the main driver’s seat, and the front seat heating and the new generation of E-class digital keys for smart phones also need to be optional at an additional cost. Considering the guide price of this configuration level of nearly 450,000 yuan, it can be seen that its cost performance is not high.

　　As the high-end models of the whole department, the "E 300 L luxury sedan" and "E 300 L luxury sports sedan" with a guide price of 529,800 yuan have naturally included most of the highlights of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but they are like the bright star rain digital headlight assembly, the bright star ring grille, the quiet cockpit system, the naked-eye 3D digital instrument screen, the multi-area intelligent air conditioner, the active atmosphere light with the function of moving with the sound, and the MBUX intelligent atmosphere light. From the perspective of the best cost performance, it is not necessary to choose "E 300 L luxury car" and "E 300 L luxury sports car" with high grades.

　　The models of the whole department are "E 300 L Fashion Car" and "E 300 L Fashion Sports Car" with a guide price of 499,800 yuan. The "E 300 L Fashion Car" and "E 300 L Fashion Sports Car" in the middle of the configuration not only have 2.0T high-power power equipment, but also have standard configuration. Compared with the high-grade "E 300 L Luxury Car" and "E 300 L Luxury Sports Car", the differences mainly focus on the MBUX super screen and the exclusive comfortable configuration of the rear seats. Relatively speaking, the choice of "E 300 L fashionable car" and "E 300 L fashionable sports car" with middle grades can maximize the cost performance and is worth recommending.

Recently, the news of actor Deng Chao’s suspected depression was exposed on the Internet, which attracted widespread public attention. His cousin’s family, Deng Chao, came forward to confirm the news and expressed great concern about Deng Chao’s physical condition. It is understood that Deng Chao has been feeling down recently and has lost contact with his family and friends. The reason why Deng Chao’s cousin made a public statement on the Internet is to use everyone’s strength to help Deng Chao get through this difficult period.

Depression is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Veterans like Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung, as well as new-generation stars like Qiao Renliang and Coco Lee, have all suffered from depression. They usually look glamorous, but in fact they are miserable because many viewers do not understand the dissatisfaction behind them.

Some netizens noticed that Deng Chao’s social platform has not been updated for 23 days, whether it is work or life. This makes it difficult to connect this Deng Chao with his usual cheerful and cheerful self. Many people got to know Deng Chao’s "Running Man" through this show. He always shows a lively and cheerful personality in the show. Even when he is laughed at by the guests, he always looks optimistic. This also makes him win a lot of fans in the show.. Therefore, it is even more serious that Deng Chao’s cousin is so open about Deng Chao’s suspected depression. Otherwise, the family will not ask the Internet for help. During the summer vacation, Sun Li took his two children on vacation overseas, but Deng Chao did not. Taken together, this may mean that Deng Chao’s recent state is quite bad.

It is difficult for the public to accept the news that Deng Chao is suffering from depression, because Deng Chao has always been a very good character. However, recently, Deng Chao’s wife, Sun Li, updated a post on social media, posting a yoga video dedicated to psychological training, claiming that doing so can improve both mentally and physically over time.. Although she did not explicitly say that this is a practice designed for depression patients, it still brings people to mind depression. Many people suspect that Sun Li hopes to help Deng Chao build confidence through yoga and recover as soon as possible.

It is understood that there is a reason why Deng Chao is suspected of suffering from depression. Recently, he turned into a director and directed his first film "Chinese Ping Pong". However, the film lost 300 million yuan. The production cost of the film was as high as 350 million, but for various reasons, only 100 million of the box office revenue was received. Coupled with the commissions charged by the producers, the film eventually lost 320 million and became one of the most profitable films to date. At first, "Chinese Ping Pong" had a good reputation, but later due to the continuous withdrawal and the change of the release time, the box office only took 100 million. Perhaps, domestic audiences prefer big-scale productions with suspense or ups and downs, and may be a little resistant to movies like "Chinese Ping Pong" that recall the past.

In any case, Mr. Deng’s cousin’s revelations about his suspected depression are not groundless. Mr. Deng’s career has stabilised in recent years, even if the emotional impact of the loss of new films is not taken into account. However, everything will pass, and the most important thing is to calm down. The public has doubts about Mr. Deng’s illness and hopes that he will recover soon and return to the image of optimistic sunshine in the eyes of people.

1905 movie network feature　On the evening of March 20, the film premiered in Beijing, and the director and the lead actors appeared for a post-screening meeting.

The main creator "Family and Friends Group" who came to help out for "More than Endless" on the day could be described as a strong lineup. Wanhe Tianyi and a group of friends came to call Bai Ke, half jokingly saying that everyone always likes "bad words", but this time they are really happy and proud of Bai Ke’s performance.

For Bai Ke, the most special audience of the night was the writer. The "King of Fairy Tales" told a story with imaginative words in his post-screening remarks, and the final answer was revealed that the "protagonist" of this story was the young Bai Ke, and his stage name was taken from his favorite fairy tale "Bai Ke".

Zheng Yuanjie

Zheng Yuanjie’s speech made Bai Ke cry on the spot, but the touch was "fleeting". Zheng Yuanjie then expressed his excitement to Zhang Songwen, the star of Bai Ke, as a fan of the drama, to be able to see "Gao Qiqiang" at the scene.

And Zheng Yuanjie not only met "A Qiang" – that day, "Jinghai" and the ruthless Gao Qisheng (actor), Gao Qilan (actor Ronnie), Tang Xiaolong (actor) and Lao Mo (actor Feng Bing) were all there to support "Big Brother" Zhang Songwen’s new work.

Su Xiaoding

In addition to praising Zhang Songwen’s consistent performance as always, Su Xiaoding also praised the director and Bai Ke for adding "constellation details" to the role: "I noticed that Han Dong is a Capricorn, and as a workaholic, it is really (rare) to be able to do this for friendship."

Wang Junkai

On the same day, the "Pingyao Film Festival Curator", as well as actors, actors, etc., also attended the premiere of "More Than Endless". It is reported that the film will be officially released on March 24.
