has recently had a new heart for Yumei: Du Jiang.
Two National Day blockbusters, "My Motherland and Me" and "Captain of China", it happens that Du Jiang is the starring!
"My Motherland and Me" is a gift film celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The film is divided into seven independent chapters, featuring seven historical moments in the 70 years of New China.
Du Jiang played the flag-raiser in the chapter of "Return" directed by Xue Xiaolu.
seems to be just raising the flag, but behind it is a political struggle.
Hong Kong returned in 1997. Regarding the timing of raising and lowering the flag, the Chinese and British governments are still fighting.
The British side insists on "falling at the end of the day" and requires the flag to be lowered at 0:00:00 on July 1st; we require "raising at the end of the day", and it is the Chinese flag at 0:00:00 on July 1 Flag raising time.
After 16 rounds of see-saw negotiations, China finally has the initiative, and the five-star red flag will be raised on time at 0:00:00 on July 1.
However, when the formal handover ceremony was held, because a British spokesperson delayed the time, the originally scheduled process was completely disrupted.
The task of raising the national flag on time fell on the flag-raiser; Du Jiang played exactly the main flag-raiser of the handover ceremony that year! The task of
is self-explanatory.
Du Jiang's other work is "Chinese Captain".
It is adapted from a real occurrence, Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 had to complete a life-and-death emergency landing at an altitude of 10,000 meters because the cockpit glass suddenly broke.
This is the uniform that the pilot wore after he got down... It was a miracle in the history of civil aviation to make a safe landing!
Du Jiang played this hero flight crew; if
is added some time ago, the box office broke 1.6 billion "Heroes of Fire". This year alone, Du Jiang has played an important role in three major productions.
Are you curious too? Why can Du Jiang stand out from the crowd? It is not easy for
to appear in works adapted from real events. The advantage of
is that the actors can obtain real information from the "prototype", making the role more complete; the disadvantage is that people have the contrast of the "prototype", and you can be found out if you act well or look like it.
Du Jiang is under great pressure. In order to be able to create a good role, Du Jiang also rushed to learn flying professional skills early the next morning to prepare for the "Captain of China".
At that time, "Heroes of Fire" was still filming intensely. Because of the many night scenes, the crew basically shot in the afternoon on the first day and finished work in the early morning of the second day.
Studying during the day and filming at night...the cycle goes back and forth. At the end of the special training, Du Jiang was able to independently control the plane to take off and land, reaching the captain's professional level.
During the training, Du Jiang observed that the captain’s uniform had four bars, while the first officer had only three bars. After asking the heroic captain prototype Liang Peng, he learned that the extra bar represents the " responsibility ". The captain shoulders the safety of the entire crew, passengers and the entire aircraft.
When it was time for the official filming, director Liu Weiqiang was equipped with high-pressure liquid pipes and high-strength air ducts in order to restore the danger. The wind was about seven levels, so that the actors could not stand up.
Du Jiang said that in order to restore the depressurization of the cabin caused by the blow-off of the windshield glass, many actors vomited directly on the set due to intense exercise and strong winds in a small space.
is in such a difficult environment, Du Jiang still has to complete: in a messy cabin, desperately returning to the cockpit with a strong wind to rescue the whole crew.
Finally, he closed the door in time, rescued Captain Liu, the first officer, and successfully rescued the 119 passengers on board. can be described as a key figure in the safe resolution of this aircraft accident.
This is really a "good actor", and it is also the mutual fulfillment of actors and roles.
Compared with the hardcore drama of "Captain China", the risk factor of the flag-raiser in "My Motherland and Me" seems to be much less.
But in fact, the test of this role is even greater: when it gets bigger, he represents the image of the country; when it gets smaller, it tests the professionalism of his actor;
But compare Du Jiang and the real flag-raiser Zhu Tao. After the teacher's photo, Yumei’s first feeling was: This is too similar, right? The "image" of
may be the appearance; more importantly, the appearance.
To play a good role, Du Jiang looked back and forth at the video data.
Later, after the crew hired Zhu Tao as the instructor, Du Jiang stood in military posture every day, with a brick on his head, a book under his arm, and even a "cross" on his back to ensure that his military posture was correct.
practice for a few hours without rest. There is no other reason, Du Jiang is completely asking himself according to the standards of a true flag-raiser.
So we saw in the final film, the angles of the chin and the head up were all corrected by Du Jiang one by one.
A good actor actually has a "drama addiction": if you don't play this role well, first of all you can't get through it in your heart.
Du Jiang and his rivalry never stopped.
In "Heroes of Fire", Ma Weiguo, played by Du Jiang, is determined to die. For the family confession, many people cried after watching it. But you may not know that there is actually only one sentence about this paragraph in the script. How does
play? What to say? It is entirely his own play.
For Du Jiang, " is almost the same as ".
In order to play the special forces in "Operation Red Sea", he reduced his body fat to 6.2% in 21 days, which is the standard of the real special forces. The only price is that for a period of time, his dinner was "a packet of salt + a mouthful of water";
, but Du Jiang's preparation for the role, was not all such "ascetic" daily.
A good actor can't work hard under the light, and you have to use skillful work. And this " clever work " also comes from the observation of life. When
played "Chinese Captain", he observed that the character prototype of the captain was very cheerful, and he advocated happy flying and enjoying flying.
So Du Jiang also restored the captain's witty and humorous side in the film. Captain
himself once joked that his wife was very satisfied with the young and handsome Du Jiang. Du Jiang also responded humorously: I am also very satisfied to play you.
In fact, to sum up, whether it is in-depth communication with prototype heroes or directly turning himself into a role in life, Du Jiang's acting is by no means perfunctory.
Whether it is the flag-raiser Du Jiang who raised the first national flag in Hong Kong, or the captain Du Jiang who rescued the crew at the very moment, Du Jiang performed the most brilliant moments in the movie in his own way!
I remember a post on Douban before asking: Is Du Jiang "catch up" now?
After reviewing Du Jiang’s works in recent years, he holds "Operation Red Sea","Fire Hero" is enough for him to gain a foothold in mainstream cinema;
plus the two National Day files "Captain of China" and "My Motherland", said he is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the country. A male lead is justified.
In fact, Yumei thinks that it is not that Du Jiang "catch up", but that he is too late!
Du Jiang has already shown wonderful acting skills in various film and television works.
For example, "Boy Chicken" in "The History of Romantic Demise" directed by Cheng Er. When this role first appeared, he was just a gangster horse;
After a murder action, the underworld "boy chicken" immediately adapted to this arena. The cuteness and innocence at the beginning has long been transformed into a ruthless and cruel killer. For many of the previous films of
, the entertainment girl may not be looking at Du Jiang, but after watching, I was asked which character is the most memorable one? I always mention Du Jiang.
And now, Du Jiang has become the " good film detection machine " of Yumei. I can rest assured that he has his works!
Actors are difficult to show up, they may be red, and they are all good actors.
"shares" Du Jiang, I don't think it is a loss!
