It seems that there has not been an excellent major revolutionary historical drama on the TV screen for a long time.
" Showdown "
" Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong ", "Armageddon" and other works broadcast in the past few years can only be described as "normal", and the same type as " Liberation " and "Oriental" in earlier years The play is much worse than that.
A high-quality drama with a major revolutionary historical theme first requires the director to have a precise grasp of ideology and a high political pursuit, and secondly requires the actors to accurately understand and interpret the theme of the work.
Tang Guoqiang
If the screenwriter is the core and the director is the cornerstone, then the actors, especially the great special type actor , are the souls that determine the success or failure of major revolutionary historical films. The most important figures in the
"group of great men" are Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou.
Regardless of the role or the importance of the characters, these two main roles determine the success or failure of the entire play.
After the unexpected death of Gu Yue, the role of Chairman Mao has been "monopolized" by Tang Guoqiang.
Tang Guoqiang
Objectively speaking, Tang Guoqiang's performance level is relatively stable, and his majestic characterization also caters to the audience's expectations for a leader.
And the special actors who play the role of Premier Zhou are relatively abundant.
Liu Jin , Sun Weimin are the main force, Xu Wenguang, Guo Weihua belong to the substitute lineup.
Xu Wenguang
In "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong", Xu Wenguang appeared as a special actor of Premier Zhou, and the audience's evaluation was polarized.
If you talk about experience, Xu Wenguang is not the first time to play Premier Zhou.
As early as 40 years ago, he played Zhou Enlai in the drama " Newsboy ". In
's tribute movie "Hai Lin Du", he also portrayed the image of Premier Zhou, but his role was very small.
Xu Wenguang
In the TV series "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong", Xu Wenguang once again played Premier Zhou. In order to play Premier Zhou well,
took the initiative to ask Tang Guoqiang, Wang Wufu and other experienced special actors for advice on how to shape a great man, and worked very hard.
On the one hand, his performance is very attentive, focusing on the responsible, careful, thoughtful and calm, steady and natural side of the characters.
On the other hand, its lack of appearance and temperament makes the audience lack a sense of substitution.
Xu Wenguang " In the Name of the People "
Xu Wenguang became famous by playing the villain, whether it was Yuan Shao in "Three Kingdoms", Zhao Gao in " Legend of Chu and Han ", or Ding Yizhen in "The Name of the People" , His shaping is all three-pointers.
He has a sinister temperament about him, which allows him to play the villain with ease.
But the suave Premier Zhou looks out of place.
In addition, Xu Wenguang looks too old, with fat and wrinkles on his face, more like a retired veteran.
Guo Weihua (second from left)
Guo Weihua plays the role of Premier Zhou in the just-completed major revolutionary historical drama "World Concentric".
But judging from the refined stills, the image of Guo Weihua's version of the great man is also unsatisfactory.
On the one hand, Guo Weihua is too fat.
Guo Weihua
As we all know, Premier Zhou is very self-disciplined throughout his life, especially paying attention to his appearance, so his image in the hearts of the people is arrogant and extraordinary.
And Guo Weihua's body is seriously out of shape, some fat, reflected in the drooping cheek muscles on the face, serious double chin, and some feeling of depression.
On the other hand, Guo Weihua's eyes lack the wisdom and insight of a great man, and are too dull.
Guo Weihua
Strictly speaking, Guo Weihua's appearance is not bad, he has been a special actor for decades, and has successively appeared in the movie "Pioneering the World", TV series "Founding Father Zhu De", " General Su Yu ", " Chongqing Negotiation ", etc. The work portrays Premier Zhou.
, but he has never made a name for himself. The reason is that his acting skills are much inferior to well-known special actors such as Liu Jin, and his eyes lack the expression of the character's soul.
To put it bluntly, Xu Wenguang and Guo Weihua's "special performance" is a failure of the corresponding drama.
Liu Jin
is not only Xu Wenguang and Guo Weihua, but also Liu Jin's body management is not good. He is obviously fat, which is far from the image of Premier Zhou of the corresponding era.
Compared with Gu Yue and Wang Tiecheng, the generation, today's special actors are generally not very "special".
On the one hand, the performances are stylized, imitating each other, and there is no breakthrough, and the assembly line is "homework";
Recalling the state of Mr. Wang Tiecheng when he filmed the movie "Zhou Enlai", he can't help but sigh: the older generation of special actors really worked hard!
Wang Tiecheng
In order to be closer to Premier Zhou at different stages of life, Wang Tiecheng is reluctant to give up day and night:
interprets the prime minister's fast and steady demeanor. He walks around in front of the practice mirror and can walk 40 miles a day;
I bought a variety of books related to Premier Zhou, built up to four or five meters high, and studied it day and night;
recorded the pronunciation characteristics of each word in the recording of Premier Zhou’s speech, and practiced it repeatedly until it turned out to be fake;
Wang Tiecheng
shot Premier Zhou In his later years, he used drugs to lose weight of dozens of pounds in a short period of time, and his body was so weak that he would shake as soon as he stood up; In order to fix the wound, a thick plastic bandage was placed on the front and back of the chest, and the skin was bruised. Instead of screaming, he was very happy, because his weak appearance was closer to the Prime Minister's serious illness in his later years... ...
Wang Tiecheng has created the most perfect image of the prime minister so far, no equal!

Looking at the image of Premier Zhou on the TV screen today, which one can satisfy people?
