Huang Xiaoming first played the young Zhou Enlai in the TV series "Glory and Dreams", and when he played this role, Huang Xiaoxiao was 44 years old.
Zhou Enlai in 1927 was only 29 years old.
Huang Xiaoming played the young Zhou Enlai at the age of 44, and he lost a lot in age.
As an idol star, Huang Xiaoming's iconic smile brought off the screen with a powerful warm current that swept through Liuhe and harvested a crowd of fans for him.
However, Huang Xiaoming's smile of the invincible hand that hits the world has also brought side effects, that is, his smile is frank, gushing out, and unobstructed, and when his smile with personal warm charm is transplanted to the image of Zhou Enlai, it is obviously not on a channel.
Zhou Enlai had his style of laughter, but let's note that Zhou Enlai's smile was restrained, restrained, and implicit, and never out of control at a glance.
And it is at this point that there is a huge gap between Huang Xiaoming's style and the prototype of Zhou Enlai played by him.
Huang Xiaoming's unprincipled smile, in "Glory and Dreams", we prominently feel this smile, too open, too fierce, too simple.
In "Glory and Dreams", we see that when Huang Xiaoming and Chiang Kai-shek played opposites, the plot required that Zhou Enlai have a ghostly view of Chiang Kai-shek's heart, so this part of the scene requires that behind Zhou Enlai's superficial enthusiasm, with a cautious, restrained, and questioning inner emotion, this brings a paradoxical space to the actor's performance, that is, the superficial enthusiasm and the inner psychology present a clear contrast, which is undoubtedly a great test for the actor's acting skills.
Huang Xiaoming's zhou Enlai's laughter in the face of Chiang Kai-shek is obviously exaggerated
And Huang Xiaoming's performance, can be described as "what you see is what you get", that is, when Huang Xiaoming faces Chiang Kai-shek's clever tongue, he does not show the sharp and sharp vision and judgment in his heart, in the lens, we see that Huang Xiaoming's smile, and the disk, warm as spring, behind the foreground of his smile, there is no other dimension of vigilance and caution connotation.
This is also the reason why Huang Xiaoming's version of Zhou Enlai's image is difficult for the audience to be satisfied.
Let's look at Zhou Enlai, played by Liu Jin.
Liu Jin in "August 1st"
In fact, from the appearance, the similarity between Liu Jin and Zhou Enlai is not very high, Liu Jin's face shape is long and round, and the basic background of Zhou Enlai's face shape is a square face, but Liu Jin grasps the internal conflict between Zhou Enlai's gods, and pays attention to showing the essence and connotation of Zhou Enlai's inner spiritual level, so that Liu Jin fits the essence of Zhou Enlai's image, which looks quite comfortable.
In particular, Liu Jin in his demeanor has always given the image of Zhou Enlai he plays a deep foundation of caution and contemplation, in a word, the Zhou Enlai played by Liu Jin has always been in a highly vigilant and cautious situation, and his external relaxation and ease are backed by cautious words and deeds behind him, which is the reason why the image created by Liu Jin has three-dimensionality and depth.
In contrast, Huang Xiaoming is like cutting off a dimension in Liu Jin's performance dimension, leaving only a single dimension of "what he sees is what he gets", so that the character image he plays appears monotonous and floating.
In the recent film and television works of the founding ceremony season, we see the image of the young Zhou Enlai starring Xu Jian and Qu Zheming.
Xu Jian played the young Zhou Enlai in "The Great Waves and Sands", and the gap between the character image and the prototype was large, and the simplicity was more than enough, and the heroism was insufficient.

Qu Zheming played the image of the young Zhou Enlai in "Hit the Water in the Middle Stream", giving people a sense of light.

Qu Zheming was born in 1989 and is 33 years old this year, and at this age, playing Zhou Enlai, who is about thirty years old, can be described as the right age.
Qu Zheming's mouth shape is very close to Zhou Enlai's facial features, with a clear silhouette, and the upper and lower lips are buttoned together to bring a resolute look to the corners of the mouth, which is difficult to see in other actors.
We can compare Qu Zheming's mouth shape with Huang Xiaoming's mouth shape, Huang Xiaoming's mouth shape is bold, while Qu Zheming's lip edge is meandering and colorful, closer to the physiognomy of the character archetype.
Huang Xiaoming plays Zhou Enlai
Zhou Enlai, played by Qu Zheming, is young and vigorous, handsome with internal strength, and is expected to become a good actor who plays Zhou Enlai in the future.
Finally, we will use the image of Zhou Enlai played by Huang Xiaoming, Liu Jin, Xu Jian, and Qu Zheming to test the approximation with the "face comparison" software, and make a arrangement from high to low for everyone to verify whether their eyesight is really in line with the fair judgment of technology.
First place: Qu Zheming, similarity 39.96%.
Second place: Liu Jin, similarity 38.09%.
Third place: Huang Xiaoming, similarity 29.88%.
Fourth place: Xu Jian, similarity 17.82%.
In fact, this result is basically closer to our visual intuition, what do you think?
