Among the many classic masterpieces, there will always be some masterpieces that attract many directors' remakes because of their wonderful plots and rich and distinctive character images. This is the case with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the most vivid and three-dimensional image, in addition to Cao Liusun, is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Yu.
And having experienced so many remakes, there are also many people who have played Zhou Yu. There are Hong Universe, Huang Weide, Liang Chaowei, Huang Bo, and Li Yuan, who played Zhou Yu in the recent "Martial God Zhao Zilong". Personally, I think that among these five people, Hong Yuyu and Zhou Yu, played by Huang Weide, are the most appropriate. So among these two, who is the most in line with the image of Zhou Yu ''Zhou Meilang'' in your mind? The following are my personal views.
First, analyze the true image of Zhou Yu in the interpretation and history.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Luo Guanzhong, perhaps in order to set off Zhuge Liang, the image of Zhou Yu is somewhat too distorted. In Zhuge Liang's three Qi Zhou Gongjin, the first time made Zhou Yu's arrow sores recur, and the second time made Zhou Yu's anger soar, the sores cracked, and qi passed out. The third time Zhou Yu directly shouted a few times, "Both Shengyu, He Shengliang." ''And die.
Throughout the development of the event, it is written how Zhou Yu is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and jealous of meritocracy. However, it reflects Zhuge Liang's great wisdom and strategy, and people can't help but lament the author's injustice to Zhou Yu. But this is only a novel after all, and in the main history, Zhou Yu's image is far from this.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu is a multi-strategy, beautiful appearance, good music rhythm, and a broad-minded image. According to historical records:
Yu is long and strong and has a posture. The sexual degree is restored, and the great rate is to win people, but it is not harmonious with Cheng Pu.
Moreover, Zhou Yu was proficient in music when he was young, and even after drinking, he could hear it keenly if the song played by Ge Ji was wrong. At that time, people made a folk song and said: "'There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu." And he had a long-term political vision and outstanding military ability. During the Three Kingdoms period, he made many outstanding contributions to the State of Wu. In the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD, Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao, ensuring the strength of the State of Wu and laying the foundation for the three divisions of the world. But later died on the way to the conquest.
Second, analyze the zhou yu played by Huang Weide and his real historical image.
Huang Weide once participated in the new version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" directed by Gao Xixi in 2010, in which he played the role of Zhou Yu. In fact, before that, the role played by Huang Weide was roughly inconsistent with Zhou Yu's role image. But Huang Weide, who is tall and gentle, eventually performs Zhou Yu, who belongs only to himself.
He not only speculated about the overall image of Zhou Yu, but also restored this image to a large extent, performing the characteristics of Zhou Yu's Wen Tao martial arts of a generation of Confucian generals, which can also be said to be the Zhou Yu in the hearts of a generation. But I don't think he is very suitable for the role of Zhou Yu.
Because zhou Yu in history is not only magnificent and deeply Confucian, but more importantly, he is rich in talent and exudes a little romantic feeling. Although Huang Weide did his best to play Zhou Yu, he did a better job. But the overall plot will inevitably reduce the degree of love for it.
In the 2010 version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I personally feel that the plot development in the first half is a bit blunt, and the whole drama seems to regard Cao Cao as a "male one", and Zhou Yu's own development profile has not been clearly and clearly expressed. And when Huang Weide played, he always felt that his facial expression had hardly changed, and his face looked very serious. Just more than enough, Confucianism is insufficient.
Third, analyze and compare Zhou Yu, played by Hong Universe, with his real historical image.
In the 1994 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hong Yuyu played Zhou Yu, and personally believes that it is the most appropriate to the original image of Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, played by Hong Universe, has the corners of his mouth up when he is calm, his eyes are energetic, and his heroic posture is refreshing, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, which is very in line with the description of Zhengshi. And when he carried out the strategy, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes were gloomy, and his heart was quite deep, which made people shudder; when it came to the bridge section of jealousy of Zhuge Liang, Hong Universe also had a drama of eyebrows, his face was red, and he looked jealous, which was very appropriate to the image in the interpretation.
And zhou yu, who he plays, is so close to people's hearts, it is inseparable from his and the entire crew's hard work and excellence. In the 1994 edition of the rendition, the actors not only had to learn the overall era background of the Three Kingdoms period, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the customs of the Han Dynasty, etc., but also a special group to study the script, and every word was carefully considered.
In this TV series, I personally think that the most reflective of his acting skills is the paragraph of "Jiang Gan Stealing Books". He has done a very good job in controlling the emotions of the characters, moody and drunk, true and false, whether it is body language or behavior state, they are all full of performance, which is simply Zhou Yu's divine restoration.
It can be seen that among the many zhou yu actors, Zhou Yu, played by Hong Universe, is the most in line with the image of Zhou Yu in people's hearts. But this is only a personal expression of opinion, and so on.
