Is it by luck or strength that Jackson Yee, who has been an actor for a few years, has achieved such eye-catching results? The answer can be found in The Battle at Lake Changjin.
The entire film took more than 180 days to shoot. Jackson Yee was just 20 years old when he entered the set and never left for a single day during filming. The 176 minutes of The Battle at Lake Changjin are just the period of time during which we sit in the cinema, but they are the 180 days he spent groping (摸索) around in the snow and ice. Apart from taking time off to attend the Spring Festival Gala, not once did he take time off to shoot another film or attend a show.
Thus, we see Wu Wanli change from a coward holding a knife with his hands trembling on the battlefield and not daring to stab the enemy, into a fearless soldier shooting enemies on the battlefield, and saying "There are 8 short of 20" (because one of his comrades says that killing 20 enemies makes him a hero). From a brash and unruly (傲慢无礼的) boy to an outstanding soldier, Jackson Yee makes us understand "How can a teenager grow old fast? Living through a war can make a teenager become thirty years older than he is quickly."
Even when competing with a group of senior actors who have spent most of their lives in the acting world, Jackson Yee, a new actor in his early 20s, received the favorable comments.
However, the more praise Jackson Yee wins, the more it has caused some netizens to hate him, and thus controversy (争论) about his acting skills has arisen.
Anyhow, Jackson Yee has always been calm and awake; he once said, "No matter how noisy the world is out there, I have to be calm." Therefore, you can always trust Jackson Yee.
