In the entertainment industry, small freckles are an open existence.

Eddie Redmayne, British actor, best actor at the 87th Academy Awards, known as "Little Freckles" in Jianghu.

Why call him "little freckles"? Take a look at the unrefined high-definition picture and you will understand: the face is densely packed, like the stars in the sky, and when I meet him, the makeup artist has to use double the concealer.

Generally speaking, it is normal for Caucasians to have spots on the skin, but it is really rare to have such a large number.

However, this is not a disadvantage. It is a good thing to have characteristics in the entertainment industry. It is best not to look like everyone else, and the audience can't remember it at all.

Talented, young and promising, elegant in manner, well-educated, and has a bookish air that is unique to literary and art students - this is the public's first impression of freckles.

Because of her looks and her family background, not long after her debut, Little Freckles won the endorsement of British luxury brand Burberry, winning at the starting line.

Little Freckles was born in a wealthy family, and is the kind of person who will go back to inherit the family property without working hard. Although it is said that the wealth is only three generations, the family of the little freckles is not included.

The family's property was established by Gao's great-grandfather. At the beginning of the 19th century, he made his fortune by operating silk fabrics and opened a chemical company with more than 700 employees. He also married the daughter of a rear admiral as his wife. After gaining wealth and fame, he abandoned business and entered politics. sheriff.

His great-grandfather founded the Department of Civil Engineering and Mining and Metallurgy at the University of Birmingham and served as Chairman of the British Empire Mineral Resources Bureau.

Little Freckle's father is a banker, her mother is the owner of a logistics company, her eldest brother is the CEO of the world's largest English publishing group, and she is a classmate with former British Prime Minister David Cameron.

He has an older brother, a younger brother, a half-brother, and a half-sister. The family relationship is complicated, like a real-life version of "great grievances".

Little Freckles received an elite education since childhood, studying at the famous Eton College, and was a classmate with Prince William. However, he is an outlier in the family - he likes acting, and after graduating from Cambridge, he rejected his father's arrangement and plunged into the entertainment industry.

In 2003, he participated in his first TV series "Doctors", which started his film and television career. In the same year, he played Harold in the stage play "Master Harold and the Boy". In 2004, he played his son Billy in the family drama "The Goat or Who's Sylvia", for which he won the London Evening Standard Drama Award and the British Drama Critics' Newcomer Award.

Then, there are "Elizabeth I", "Sympathetic", "The Secret Service", "The Labyrinth of Desire", "The Age of Glory", "The Golden Age of Elizabeth II", "Tess of the D'Urbervilles", "The Other Boleyn Girl", "Blue" "Powder", "Glory 39 Years", "Black Death", "Temple of Spring and Autumn", "The Countryman", "Birdsong" and "The Year of Miracles".

At this stage, the little freckles won by quantity. He played the leading role in the small cost, and played a role in the big production. He was very familiar, but he failed to stir up any splashes.

The most acclaimed is the "One Week with Monroe". In the film, the little freckles play the young and young aristocratic Colin, who is fascinated by Monroe fans. (This role is equivalent to tailoring, because the little freckles are playing himself)

In 2010, he won the 34th Oliver Award and the 64th Tony Award for Best Supporting Actor for his stage play "Red".

In 2011, he starred in Shakespeare's play "Richard II", and won the British Drama Critics Award for Best Shakespeare Performance for this play.

In 2013, he was named "Person of the Year" by the British edition of "GQ" magazine and won the Most Breakthrough Award.

Like the predecessors, the up-and-coming little freckles set their sights on Hollywood on the other side of the ocean and started a new journey. There, he was still a rookie, and the process of fighting monsters and upgrading had to be repeated again.

He appeared in "Jupiter Ascending," supporting Channing Tatum, playing a weak and insignificant villain.

Or show off your singing voice and take a role in the star-studded "Les Miserables", playing the role of the revolutionary young Marius, the boyfriend of the hero's daughter, and the role of the cast.

Soon, the little freckles ushered in one of the most important opportunities in her acting career: to play the young Hawking in "The Theory of Everything".

In order to get closer to the prototype, he began to lose weight and lose weight frantically, tossing himself into thin bones. He spent 4 months in the London Motor Neurone Disease Clinic, reclining in a wheelchair every day, studying and imitating the body language of patients, and after the filming, he also suffered severe damage to his spine.

The hard work pays off. The film received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and even Hawking himself praised with tears: "Eddie Redmayne played me very well, I even thought he was me!"

With this film, the little freckles won the award softly, and successively won the best actor in the 72nd Golden Globe Award, the 68th British Academy Film Award and the 87th Academy Award.

Every actor has a dream of Oscar, but few dreams come true, and the process is full of hardships:

The older generation, Paul Newman and Marlon Brando, were all awards that were won after the old man lost his shape;

The Mesozoic superstar Tom Cruise, who gained weight and played ugly and disabled, played all the tricks, and finally got nothing;

Also, Xiao Lizi, who is familiar to everyone, made himself fat and crippled in order to win the award.

Oscar is about seniority, and there is a kind of compensation mentality for repeated nominees. Newcomers and old people compete for awards. Generally speaking, newcomers suffer.

However, Little Freckles is not an ordinary person. He won the award when he was nominated for the first time, and he was defeated by Lizi, who was the most popular back then. This result made everyone's eyeballs fall to the ground.

The little freckles did not stop moving forward. After winning the award, his masterpieces continued to be applauded and well received.

In 2015, he starred in "The Danish Girl". In the film, he boldly tried women's clothing, which was really charming and lively. This androgynous role earned him a second Oscar nomination. (If it wasn't for the award that I just won, the second best actor is not impossible)

In 2016, he was awarded the OBE by the Queen of England.

The future is bright. In addition to literary and artistic films, commercial blockbusters also extended an olive branch to him. The actor of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" finally chose Little Freckles.

As a prequel to "Harry Potter", this film became popular before it was released, and it attracted much attention before the filming started. A large number of stars ran to audition, and the little freckles were able to win, still relying on the title of "the first Oscar winner of the post-80s" .

After the film was released, it earned a total of 800 million US dollars at the global box office, and the value of Xiaofreckle also rose with the tide. Warner Bros. has announced that the series will be filmed in at least five installments, and it's conceivable that Freckle's good days are just beginning.

There is an old saying in the entertainment industry, which is called "Little red depends on support, big red depends on life". When the little freckles just debuted, the family background did help a little, but the subsequent awards depended on the good luck of the sky.

Of course, he has always worked very hard, but why don't others work hard? For all living beings, the road to success is full of thorns, and it is not hard work that can be rewarded.

Recently, I'm chasing a British drama "Inspector Morse". Inspector Morse is a household name classic, single, alcoholic, and short-tempered, but has a unique charisma.

In order to make full use of this IP, the TV station has developed derivative dramas on this basis. One shot is six seasons. So far, there is no plan to stop it.

In the play, Inspector Morse is still a young cute newcomer who has just walked out of the Oxford campus. The reasoning of the show is not rigorous, but the British style of the 1960s fascinated me.

When I watch it, I always feel that the male protagonist is familiar, but I have never seen any of his works before. It wasn't until the fifth season that I discovered with hindsight: it turned out that he looked like little freckles.

The male protagonist Sean Evans is similar in age, appearance, height and weight to Little Freckles, and his shy and shy bookishness is exactly the same. His existence shows us another possibility of the little freckles, the winner of life:

If it weren't for that bad luck, the little freckles wouldn't have won the Oscar. If there is no actor, it is impossible to receive a big IP such as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and come to a commercial literature and art.

He is not a mainstream handsome guy, nor can he act in action films, he can only spin around in low-cost literary films.

He has a wife and children to support, an actor who is not too popular in his thirties, and has limited opportunities. He will be happy to play the leading role in the prequel of the longevity drama, increase the exposure, and also get a long-term meal ticket.

The series continued to be filmed year after year, and he played the same role day after day. His passion for acting and his former ambitions were gradually exhausted by repeated work.

Then, before he knew it, the wrinkles increased, and the white hair appeared on the temples. As he got old, he began to take on some dramas with two men, three men and four men. The father or teacher who played the protagonist, by the way, was honored as "" British old drama bone".

It's not that he is unhappy, but he always feels that there is something missing in his life.

In the dead of night, he occasionally thinks of a lucky person: "In those days, if only I could play that role, maybe I could win an Oscar..."
