Abstract

South Korean actor Song Kang-ho and Chinese actor Ge You are often compared with each other, not only because they both won the best actor in Cannes Film Festival (there have been only four Asian actors achieved this accomplishment), but also due to the similarity with regards to their performing styles and screen images. Despite of their international recognition and similar early acting career, it is noticeable that Ge You’s stardom has been fading from the public attention while Song Kang-ho’s popularity has been growing from South Korea to the world in recent years. This essay will focus on these two Asian actors, Ge You and Song Kang-ho, in a detailed comparison of their acting, role positioning and some other aspects. Furthermore, I will also examine in depth their screen image transition paths, as well as how the different paths impact their domestic and international reception.
