Original, Poison Sir movie
Ruan Jingtian turned red.
He plays Chen Guilin, who is being killed in theaters and online.
Everyone remembered this actor who first became popular because of "I’m Destined to Love You", won the best actor with "Mengka" 14 years ago, and is about to disappear in recent years.
Some people lamented that when Ruan Jingtian returned, there was still no meal replacement.
Today’s young audience may be unfamiliar with this.
In this article, let’s talk about Ethan Ruan.
01
New Creation
In "The Three Evils", there is a scene that goes from play to play.
Chen Guilin, dressed in white, knelt on his knees and was "baptized," sprinkled with water, whipped and cut his hair.
I am a sinner
I endanger the world
I let down the common people
I’m willing to leave everything behind
Eliminate fame and power
Give up money and material goods
Return to the true self
From reading in a low voice in ignorance to crying out in pain, Chen Guilin washed away his sins in repentance, completed self-purification, and became a new creation.
In this scene, Chen Guilin in the play and Ruan Jingtian outside the play overlap to form the same person:
Be honest with yourself, even if there are desires, mistakes, regrets, and pain.
Ruan Jingtian, who moved to the mainland market, although left a famous scene in the variety show;
In the top production of the TV drama "Yellow Skin Grave" as a Hu Bayi;
I have also returned to the "old line" idol drama.
But they have never handed over such a dazzling answer sheet as Ji Cunxi, and most of the plays they performed are hovering on the line of substandard.
Needless to say, the reason was clear.
Think about how many excellent scripts there are now, and there are also problems with acclimatization.
Ruan Jingtian revealed in an interview:
As the old saying goes, it’s boom and bust: 25-year-old "I’m Destined to Love You", 28-year-old "Best Actor", and then all the way to Waterloo, no matter what I try or how hard I try, I don’t get recognized. For a long time I was indignant and trapped myself.
For an actor, having no role, no work, and no recognition is painful and depressing, moving forward in a daze that stings the soul.
Until he was nearly 40 years old, the appearance of "Removing the Three Evils in the Zhou Chu" gave Ruan Jingtian the opportunity to become a new creation –
Chen Guilin.
The innocent cruelty, the painful hiding, the hidden confusion, the ignorance of the trapped and self-seeking.
Only Ruan Jingtian, who has encountered unstinting student days, fallen from a height, and been dormant for nearly 10 years, is the most suitable.
It can be said that Chen Guilin’s four years were Ruan Jingtian’s ten years.
After filming Chen Guilin, Ruan Jingtian was finally able to enter the new gate.
"The Week" should be
My struggles in this decade are fine
Self-doubt is fine
Pain is good
Healing is also good
It’s good to re-examine yourself
It was sort of the end of my journey.

Ruan Jingtian’s Taiwan Puppet Era
The golden decade of Taiwanese idol drama has left many idols and gods for today.
Since its debut in 2001, Meteor Garden has achieved an average audience rating of 6.43 when it was broadcast, and has been exported to more than 20 countries and regions, making it popular throughout Asia.
In 2011, "I May Not Love You" became the ratings champion, sweeping seven awards at the Golden Bell Awards, including Best Actress and Actress, Actress, Director, Screenwriter, Works and Marketing, and was regarded as the final highlight of the puppet.
The golden age of Taiwanese idol drama lasted only 10 years.
The first time Ethan played the male lead role was in 2008’s "Fated to Love You".
It was still being reviewed by the audience in the ridicule of "Replica Ming Dao" and "Ming Dao Pingti".
In the corner of Ji Cunxi, the drama originally wanted to find Ming Dao to play the role, but they were rejected by the other company, so they found Ruan Jingtian according to Ming Dao’s appearance.
How similar are Ruan Jingtian and Ming Dao?
There is a shot of Ji Cunxi dancing with her back to the audience in "Hit", which is the cameo of Ming Dao, who is the visiting class.
Mingdao, Jingtian, makes people stupidly confused.
The current status and achievements of the two in the entertainment industry are quite reversed.
After the release of "Zhou Chu", Mingdao took the initiative to post a video Weibo, saying that many people misunderstood Chen Guilin’s role and that he played it.
And Ming Dao’s last "out of the circle" work for mainland audiences was obviously a middle-aged idol drama "Love Around the Corner" starring Wenli.
In 2019, Mingdao participated in "Actors Please Take Place".
After the first performance, he held the microphone and said one sentence to everyone:
This is my first play of the year
Now, against the background of Ruan Jingtian, Ming Dao’s words and the situation of performing arts are even more sighing.
The same model, the same "idol brother", the development direction of the two is very different?
In addition to acting skills, personality, and life experiences.
But in Sir’s opinion, there is also a crucial point, which is the difference in the puppet environment that the two faced when they debuted, as well as the difference in mentality and choice that came from it:
One is conservative, the other is seeking change.
Mingdao coincided with the period of Taiwan puppet development from infancy to heyday.
Taiwan’s first campus idol drama "Spicy Fresh Master", Ming Dao starred.
Ming Dao starred in "The Prince Turns into a Frog", which successfully broke the ratings record of "Meteor Garden".
He played the role of the high cold tyrant, Shan Junhao, who became the screen "White Moonlight" for countless people, and could be called a textbook tyrant.
Nowadays, the entertainment tyrant always has any trouble on the greasy road, and it is necessary to be pulled by the audience to compare and spur.
Such a successful experience and the mainstream of the environment make Ming Dao tend to be conservative in his next acting choices.
He kept circling in idol dramas and love dramas, repeating the role of Duo Jin Ba Zong many times (some are not Ba Zong in social identity, but the character is still close to Ba Zong).
Looking at the works starring Ming Dao, it is difficult to find characters and films that are completely unrelated to love dramas and idol dramas.
Especially when he became popular and the resources should be the best, he was still the same.
Ming Dao watched the building of the puppet rise, ready to grasp the steady happiness.
Unexpectedly, even the puppet will be unable to protect itself one day, and the actor cannot "eat the old money" for a lifetime just by relying on sporadic classic characters.
As for Ruan Jingtian, on the one hand, he was not as smooth sailing as Mingdao at the beginning of the idol drama track; on the other hand, he met the stage puppet from prosperity to decline.
From 2004 to 2007, Ethan Ruan played a supporting role in Taiwan, and his screen debut, "Michael’s Dance," was rated only 5.5 by Douban.
Audience comments: The embarrassing dance in the film is suitable for Bilibili’s ghost and animal area.
When encountering the better script "Green Light Forest", in the same year there were "Prince Turns Frog", "Prank Kiss" and "Ultimate Class" in "Fairy Fight".
From 2008 to 2011, Ethan was finally able to lead the way in the puppet.
"Destined I Love You" in the record of the hope for the Taiwan puppet’s era of tyrannical master drew a perfect end, after the tyrannical master, are not very clever.
In 2009, Lucas in the "Lost Dog Queen" that went LIVE became the best model for siblings to love their younger brothers, handsome, considerate and respectful of women.
The TV drama itself also revealed a hint of the later development direction of Taiwan drama because of the "left-over woman humiliation" in the society at that time.
However, at this time, the "golden decade" of Taiwanese dramas has come to an end.
Ruan Jingtian became famous because of his tyranny.
Fortunately, I didn’t have time to get into the play.
In 2006, Ethan had made his first film, "Exit 6," a Taiwanese youth film; the following year, his second film, "The Chosen One," was released, a suspense thriller.
After coming from a later generation to become the "First Brother of Taiwan Puppet", he went to play "Mengka", a film that mixes tragic youth, action martial arts, underworld crime, and Taiwanese history and culture.
In it, Ethan Ruan shaved his head, played a tough guy, and played "brother" (referring to gangsters in the Taiwanese context), and contributed an impressive performance, which won the Best Male Actor Award of the year.
The different trends of one big and one small idol school are not unique, and even a bit like a microcosm.
Similar to the old "Taiwan Puppet First Brother" Yan Chengxu and the rookie at that time Wu Jianren.
Yan Chengxu, who was nourished by the dividend of idol dramas, still attracts attention with his (figure) charm in idol dramas.
Wu Dianren, who had boarded the last train of the puppet, was still hot, but today everyone’s discussion about him was by no means just about his figure – "A Handful of Green", "Anesthesia Storm", "Imitator", "Our Distance from Evil"…
Last year, he won the title of Best Actor by performing without a single line.
If you are poor, you will change, and if you are flexible, you will generally last for a long time.
Acting is like that.
The puppet is like that.
The same goes for film and television creation.

We need "Chen Guilin" more than Ethan Ruan.
As early as the second half of last year, Ethan Ruan had already brushed his face on the big screen many times.
The emotionally out-of-control decadent foreign labor agent and suspect in "Hunted"; the decadent police officer who looks and is faithful in "Rage Tide".
In terms of subject matter types, they are all crime, violence, and pursuit; in terms of appearance and character, they are unshaven and violent, which all overlap with "Zhou Chu" and Chen Guilin to a certain extent.
Only Chen Guilin can be deeply remembered by a large audience.
Of course, there is the actor’s acting tension and the dramatic tension of the work, leaving the audience with enough aftertaste and chewing energy.
But…
When the audience followed Chen Guilin in the spirit of killing and happy;
The killer heard the spiritual theme song after get off work and went upstairs to rework. Who is so excited? I
When different versions of "Zhouzhou Dividing the Three Harmful" were derived on the Internet.
The reason why killer Chen Guilin is so addictive is because he fits the audience’s current situation.
In a life of frustration and frustration, people’s inner evil and anger grow quietly, but there is nowhere to vent.
And Chen Guilin, he satisfied the instincts of evil and resistance in our human nature.
No education, no value, no hypocrisy, a bang a cool.
In reality, such a moment actually flashed through the minds of many people.
When being educated, urged to marry, dumped, yin and yang…
And the audience needs such an uncompromising film even more.
Today, many people fall in love with Ethan Ruan again because of Chen Guilin.
After the stagnation of his career, Ruan Jingtian finally began to stop falling and entered a new period of growth. Mainland variety shows and idol dramas would once again offer him an olive branch.
But a Chen Guilin appeared on our screen, and then what?
The audience is still left with no news to wait.
