he is ugly.

he is so ugly.

he is really ugly.

but he became famous.

on september 13, the news reported that he appeared in the 2024 autumn issue of "numero" wearing a sacai shirt and suit. the comment section was "overwhelmed", and there was one message that was the funniest:

"i couldn't look him in the mouth."

his name is jiang qiming, and now some people call him "local dog".

anyway, forget about being the "good-looking guy". the last person to make fun of his own looks was sun honglei, whose name became popular all over the country through variety shows.

men like his acting and women like his ruffian side.

especially beautiful women.

ugly men paired with beautiful women seems to have become a stereotype.

at this point, i touched my face and smiled confidently...

jiang qiming would probably feel the same way.

people who understand acting or not will be attracted to this kind of actor. it’s certainly not his looks that matter, but his acting skills.

the trend of domestic entertainment is often quite embarrassing. for example, praising an actor's acting skills usually falls into the "self-proven trap":

you said he acted well, have you asked for everyone’s opinion?

you might as well just praise him for being handsome!

it turns out that this actor really has both good looks and good acting skills.

what about the male actors who are not handsome?

fight! fight!

jiang qiming stood out from this group of people.

he and zhang yu, aruna and others have successively become famous.

01

in "article 20", jiang qiming and a runa did not appear in the same frame. one of them is from the central academy of drama and the other is from the shanghai theatre academy. they are both ugly in their own ways.

it's a pity that the "thug" aruna became famous before him, and with the blessing of "mang from mang village", the scene where he "raped" zhao liying made people feel hatred, and it was also satisfying that he was stabbed in the end.

instead, jiang qiming "restrained" himself and became a small lawyer, wearing glasses, being submissive and acting like a day-to-day person.

two "ugly" people are competing for supremacy, but they are not on the same track.

pity.

then jiang qiming came from behind——

he chatted with the boss for a few words, as if he was speaking for someone else, but he had no say. the boss threw him a few bills and asked him to give them to the girl. he hesitated for a moment, took out a bill and put it in his pocket, and then said to the girl, "i worked so hard to get you..."

it was a scene in "my altay", in which jiang qiming played a "xinjiang drifter" who usually made small talk with girls. he didn't necessarily have any bad intentions, but he wasn't that great and upright either. when it came to personal interests, his appearance of being afraid of poverty made people angry and funny.

but this is the true portrayal of most ordinary people.

such characters usually do not have a prominent position in the play, but they are often impressive.

later, the young man met the heroine again. he was unlucky, deceived, and redeemed.

the audience then realized that no one is born mercenary and mean, and the good and bad of the little people are so obvious. jiang qiming played this role to let everyone see the true nature of the world.

then jiang qiming was "bad" for a while:

a person from the lower class wants to rise to the top, and it happens to be a turbulent time, so he becomes a lackey and beats people like dogs.

he does things that his colleagues are reluctant to do, and he takes care of things that his colleagues don't want to take care of.

he put a knife to the gap between people's fingers and said, "the nerves are densest here, and it hurts the most..."

the madness is frightening.

jiang qiming is so bad in "harbin 1944" that people want to kill him on the spot.

many viewers hate this mad dog.

then he actually became a "dog"——

"i am, a dog."

"past events by the border water" allowed jiang qiming to successfully "get on the table".

at this time, he is more than just a "dog", but also a "country dog".

02

some people praised jiang qiming for his "sexual tension", but i will not comment on this statement for now.

if i look at it from the perspective of a male audience, i would regard jiang qiming as a brother in real life:

he has flaws and shortcomings, but they're all okay. sometimes he can be quite tough.

some of them are similar to the wild ticket seller in huang bo’s early movie "get on the bus, let’s go" who kept shouting "there are big seats!" he has many small flaws, but he is real.

in "border water past", the foreign environment is complex and full of crimes. people like "wang anquan" are most suitable to survive in such a place. there is only one reason:

the "human-dog" mode can be switched freely and the survival is the most important thing.

to say that jiang qiming's temperament matches the role is somewhat more negative than positive.

it can only be said that jiang qiming knows how to show the temperament of different grassroots characters:

when looking at people, gao xiaoliang lowers his eyebrows and makes eye contact, looking straight ahead slowly, and occasionally looking away. wang anquan looks at you from a distance, with a blank look in his eyes. both characters have the meaning of "guarding against" but they have different backgrounds, identities, and temperaments when looking at people.

speaking of "looking at people", the eyes of "fu weijun" in "the long season" are always clear. even if he has committed a crime, there is only pure love and hate in his eyes.

the most amazing thing is that without a single line of dialogue, jiang qiming was able to act out the youthfulness through his eyes.

it has only been four years since he starred in his first movie "king kong river" in 2020. whether it is a movie or a tv series, he is always a supporting role, but people still discovered this "oddity"——

so many handsome men and beautiful women were on the same stage, whether it was a grand epic or a family story. jiang qiming appeared, everyone saw it, skipped it, and then after a long time, they savored it and found out:

this guy looks familiar, i seem to have seen him somewhere.

then i thought:

isn’t he the zhang san or li si that i know?

that's acting.

no need for appearance, just authenticity.

jiang qiming's face gives the audience a lot of room for imagination. he can be a righteous and upright person, or a vicious and ruthless villain.

because he is so ugly that he is always in people's hearts.

combined with his acting skills, jiang qiming can transform himself into any common character you and i see.

can i say this is a triumph of acting?

03

jiang qiming's earliest performances were in dramas and musicals, including many classics such as "the three heroes of the wind and dust" and "the moon and sixpence". however, these types of plays were not within the scope of the mainstream audience, so it was surprising that jiang qiming became popular.

in fact, i think it is best for actors to hone their acting skills by starting with small dramas, which especially test the psychological quality and on-the-spot adaptability of actors during performances, including stage positioning and on-the-spot reactions. after performing many times, actors will automatically form a sense of picture in their minds and get into the performance rhythm in advance, so that when they perform in film and television dramas, they can adjust appropriately and cope with it with ease.

many performing artists of the older generation started out as drama actors.

jiang qiming has performed in dramas for more than ten years (starting in 2011), which is longer than when he was in the central academy of drama. he was only 19 when he performed. he is 32 years old this year, which is the prime of his life.

during this period, the domestic entertainment industry was not good-looking, and there were many popular male actors. the aforementioned sun honglei and huang bo were typical examples, and wang baoqiang, zhang yi, lei jiayin, etc. could also carry a movie. then there were zhang yu, aruna and other actors who entered the film and television industry earlier than him, and they became famous quickly with just one role.

jiang qiming is considered a "latecomer", but fortunately he has extensive experience in stage performances.

therefore, the audience, especially the female audience, recognized jiang qiming and even called him the "country boy boyfriend". ultimately, they were impressed by his acting skills.

domestic entertainment is not a circle for a few people; it will eventually face the public.

an actor's performance cannot be judged based on just a few articles; it also takes time for them to mature.

as for aesthetics, it is also a trend. in an era where male actors are also judged by their looks, jiang qiming and others have conquered the audience with their acting skills and have even been chosen by well-known brands as their image spokespersons. this at least shows what is the foundation of maintaining artistic life, which is worth serious consideration by many young actors.

i have no intention of equating him with a "dog":

a person is a person, why do you have to call him a "dog"?

"nicknames" are not good either.

i just think he is ugly, and really ugly in a real way.

he can get into the mood for any role. he won’t play a lawyer like a ruffian, nor will he play a ruffian like an idol.

this is what a good actor is.

i hope there are more actors like this.

no matter how ugly he (she) is.
