Two episodes into the air, CCTV's new drama "Going to the Southwest" has achieved a ratings score of 1.35%, firmly ranking first in the entire network.

Generally speaking, the audience group of main theme dramas is very stable, attracting mostly middle-aged and elderly audiences.

However, because the style of this work is more down-to-earth, while showing the liberation and development of the Southwest by great people, it will also incorporate many life-like scenes.

The most impressive scene in the first two episodes is when Deng Xiaoping went to Chen Yi for help carrying a sauced duck.

Because supplies were in short supply at the time, and Deng Xiaoping, Liu Bocheng and others wanted to attack the southwest, they could only use all available resources. Chen Yi, who had just settled in Shanghai East China Bureau of

, became their best choice.

Deng Xiaoping looked confident even before he saw Chen Yi while carrying the sauced duck. As expected, everything was settled when he saw his old friend.

However, this process was very interesting. Deng Xiaoping first watched Chen Yi eat the duck before expressing his demands.

’s main feature made Chen Yi soft-spoken. He was short-handed and had to give away supplies even if he didn’t give them.

This plot makes Deng Xiaoping, the main character portrayed in "Going to the Southwest", instantly become three-dimensional and vivid. It can not only make everyone feel his flexibility in handling work, but also be impressed by his wisdom.

What’s surprising is that this time, the actor who plays Deng Xiaoping, who is popular all over the country, is not Lu Qi or Ma Shaohua.

One, both physical and spiritual, full of details

In a main theme drama like "Towards the Southwest", when interpreting the image of a great man, the first thing to do is to match the appearance.

For a great man like Deng Xiaoping, who left a lot of video materials during his lifetime, and whose voice is even familiar to the audience, it is even more necessary to find a convincing image.

Many viewers now think that Deng Xiaoping played by Lu Qi and Ma Shaohua is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

After watching Deng Xiaoping played by An Rongsheng, he also achieved both physical and spiritual performance.

From height to body shape to facial features, he is very similar to the real Deng Xiaoping. This also made everyone guess that he was Deng Xiaoping as soon as he appeared on the stage and even before the subtitles introduced who this person was.

But if you want to stand out as a character, appearance alone is not enough, your acting skills must also be in place.

In the first two episodes, Deng Xiaoping, played by An Rongsheng, has the most scenes. It can be said that he is given enough room to perform, and every plot is performed vividly by An Rongsheng.

When he mentioned that he would lead the team on a march of thousands of miles, An Rongsheng frowned and looked serious. He had already conveyed the difficult message of this battle to the audience through the screen.

But when he saw his brother whom he hadn’t seen for many years, An Rongsheng’s Deng Xiaoping was happy again. The moment he saw his brother, his brows stretched, and he couldn’t control the smile at the corner of his mouth, and even his eyes showed excited.

also expressed happiness. He had not met his brother yet, but he just heard that the other brother had also signed up to go to Southwest China. When there was a possibility of meeting the brothers, An Rongsheng's smile was completely different. Another feeling.

is more of a quiet joy, without the excitement of actually seeing each other.

In front of college students, An Rongsheng played Deng Xiaoping in a very approachable manner. He was still wearing a military uniform, but holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, sitting on a bench and mingling with the students.

At this time, Deng Xiaoping had no airs of leadership at all, and was like a kind and gentle elder.

At the conference, An Rongsheng's performance of Deng Xiaoping made everyone feel his full aura. His eyes were firm when arranging work, and every word was pronounced. This acting skills that were put on the ground was really amazing.

It can be said that in just two episodes, we can know why An Rongsheng can play Deng Xiaoping counterpoint.

two words, details.

controls every emotion in place and can adapt to different situations and perform different states to adapt to changes.

2. The three actors have their own merits. An Rongsheng may become the next Lu Qi

In fact, An Rongsheng is not the most familiar actor of Deng Xiaoping.

To say that the person who has played the role of Deng Xiaoping the most is definitely the special actor Lu Qi.

Over the years, he has partnered with Gu Yue and Tang Guoqiang. Other actors have changed constantly, but Lu Qi has always been the best choice for the role of Deng Xiaoping in many major dramas.

So far, he has appeared in " Crossing the Yalu River ", " Battle " and other works. He was even seen in the box office champion " Changjin Lake ".

Lu Qi's appearance and temperament are most similar to the real Deng Xiaoping. Because of this, after playing Deng Xiaoping, he won awards and became famous among the audience.

Ma Shaohua plays Deng Xiaoping, who is different from Lu Qi. Back then, with "Deng Xiaoping in the Turning of History", he performed the image of this great man in a real and tangible way.

Ma Shaohua's best role is Sun Yat-sen. In the main theme drama "Ask the Cangmang" which is closer to us, he plays Sun Yat-sen. Compared with Deng Xiaoping, it is obvious that the role of Sun Yat-sen played by him is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Ma Shaohua does not just limit himself to playing the images of these great men. He also constantly tries more possibilities, and can act in martial arts dramas and life dramas.

can be a hidden master or an ordinary little person. He will not stop taking other roles just because he has played the image of a great man.

Therefore, Ma Shaohua is also not a special type of actor among the actors who played Deng Xiaoping, but he can still achieve both physical and spiritual performance.

Compared with these two actors, An Rongsheng's appearance rate is not high, but as a national first-class actor, he can give a stunning performance every time he appears.

In the 2001 "Long March", he played Deng Xiaoping, and in last year's "Volunteers: Heroes Attack" directed by Chen Kaige, he played the same role.

An Rongsheng also played other roles, but none of them were as impressive as Deng Xiaoping's impression on everyone.

Conclusion

"Going to the Southwest" once again proves that CCTV's vision in selecting dramas is indeed unmistakable.

is not only guaranteed in terms of quality, but even the actors are all talented, ensuring that every role meets everyone's expectations.

After all, as a drama show that showcases great people, the audience has already assumed the role of real people. If it is not suitable or the acting skills are not up to standard, it will affect the overall perception.
