Like the movie "Armageddon" trilogy, the drama version of "Armageddon" is based on the "three major battles" as the main line, and Lin Biao and Su Yu are the absolute protagonists of the three parts.
TV series "Armageddon"
At present, the TV series "Armageddon" has been broadcast more than halfway, and the "main position" has been transferred from the Liaoshen Campaign to the Huaihai Campaign.
Previously, in the "Liaoshen Campaign", Lin Biao, portrayed by Yu Hewei, caused a lot of controversy.
His performance is somewhat arbitrary, and the portrayal of Lin Zongyi will transform into a "roaring emperor", and then like a "little daughter-in-law" who loves to lose his temper, which can be described as "the shape and god are destroyed".
Yu Hewei
To put it bluntly, the preparation work from actor Yu Hewei to screenwriter Huang Jiandong and director Gao Xixi has not been done enough.
01
In the movie "Armageddon", Mr. Ma Shaoxin's portrayal of Mr. Lin became a screen classic.
After the film was released, Lin Zong's former subordinates were full of emotions and held Ma Shaoxin's hand to express their gratitude to him. Objectively speaking, This version of Ma Shaoxin captures the main characteristics of the character.
Marshall
During the War of Resistance, Lin Zong's spinal nerves were mistakenly injured by friendly forces, and he has always had sequelae, so he is silent and moody, which requires actors not to use fierce emotional changes to shape characters.
Because of the sequelae, the body is not very good, so often eat soybeans to supplement nutrition.
However, Lin Zong's personal habits are not only to eat soybeans, the movie "Armageddon" restores some details according to Lin Headquarters's recollections, such as sitting in a chair upside down, such as frying Chinese medicine and eating Chinese medicine.
The actor must not only show Lin Biao's physical weakness, but also show the momentum of strategizing, as well as the small habit of showing the role, which requires higher performance skills, and the drama actor Ma Shaoxin shows these elements well.
Yu Hewei, because of his "relationship" and "face", had to accept the invitation of director Ghosh, but this experience is likely to become a "black spot" in his acting career.
02
Guo Guangping plays Su Yu
Another protagonist, Su Yu, is played by Guo Guangping.
Compared with Yu Hewei, Guo Guangping's portrayal of Su Yu is recognized by the audience, and he has previously played Su Yu in the TV series "General Su Yu".
Judging from the plot that has been broadcast so far, Su Yu, played by Guo Guangping, is decent and has no place to shine.
Of course, with the deepening of the plot of the TV series "Armageddon", Guo Guangping may surprise the audience.
Xie Weicai
However, to play Su Yu in the TV series "Armageddon", Guo Guangping's performance is inevitably compared with Xie Weicai, who played Su Yu in the movie "Armageddon".
As a truly Suyut-type actor, Xie Weicai's performance in the movie "Armageddon" is a classic, and no one has surpassed it so far.
For some historical reasons, "Su Yu" did not play much in the movie "Armageddon", but Xie Weicai's teacher "sees the strange in peace" and successfully shaped the image of Su Yu, a revolutionary Confucian general.
03
How successful was it? The influence is not lost to Mr. Lin, who was portrayed by Mr. Ma Shaoxin.
In 1991, at the premiere of the movie "Armageddon", yang Shangkun, the president of the country at the time, said to Xie Weicai, "You Su Yu acted well";
Li Ruihuan, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, recognized Xie Weicai among the many actors and said to him, "You are playing Su Yu, acting well, acting well";
Ding Zhao, head of the leading group for major revolutionary historical themes at that time, also said, "I am Su Yu's subordinate, I know him, you are like, you perform his style";
Of course, Xie Weicai's performance success is inseparable from the director's and screenwriter's control of the storyline.
04
The performance of Su Yu, a generation of famous generals in "The Battle of Huaihai in The Great Armageddon", is plump and three-dimensional, and it is still blood-boiling to watch it now.
In the first act, the key battle of the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Cao Eight Episodes, in order to intercept Huang Baitao, Su Yu's two sentences on the phone are really domineering, "At all costs, occupy Cao Eight Episodes." At all costs, occupy Cao Ba episodes. Which wreck, the military law engaged";
Teacher Xie Weicai's eyes are full of military perseverance, which is what many actors lack today.
In the second act, the East China Field Army held a meeting, and the next step of the battle plan changed, from the original Huaye to continue to do pockets to lure Li Mi and Qiu Qingquan corps, instead of cooperating with Nakano to fight Huang Wei, the commanders of the column have not yet expressed their position, Su Yu asked, "Is there any problem?"
Seeing that everyone had not yet expressed their position, Su Yuteng stood up, "What is the problem", the commanders quickly replied, "No";
In the third act, the general attack on Du Yuming's group is deployed, and Su Yu receives a call from the secretary of the General Front Committee, and finally says, "Yes, yes, the last blow, the last blow";
In the movie "Armageddon", in order to reflect the resoluteness of General Su Yu in military command, Teacher Xie Weicai used a lot of "overlapping words", and now it seems that it has the effect of "doing more with less" to shape the character.
05
The fourth act, which is also the most classic scene of the entire "Armageddon" interpretation of Su Yu, still seems to be exciting, maybe this is the charm of the performance.
Su Yu mentioned this experience with his family in his later years, and throughout his life, he felt the most tormented thing about the second stage of the Huaihai Campaign, predicting the real route of Du Yuming's three corps retreating from southern Xuzhou.
At that time, Guo Rujie, who was "lurking" inside the Nationalist army and was already the director of the Department of Operations of the Ministry of National Defense, sent back information, which showed that Du Yuming would go to the southeast and huai;
However, after careful analysis, Su Yu believed that Du Yuming would not take the two Huai, but would go south along the west side of Jinpu Road;
Whether to believe intelligence or to trust his own intuition, Su Yu was suffering at this time - how should troops be deployed to be foolproof?
At this critical juncture, the sixth sense of the battlefield slaughtered by thousands of troops and horses in a bloody battle made Su Yu finally firm his judgment: Du Yuming would never take two Huai.
Stills of Guo Rugui in the TV series "Armageddon"
Later, it turned out that Guo Rugui's intelligence was not a problem, but Du Yuming did not carry out the Ministry of National Defense's order to withdraw south to ask him to take lianghuai, but took the west side of Jinpu Road, and as a result, he was surrounded by Su Yu tuan and killed in Chen Guanzhuang, and Du Yuming was captured...
The film "Armageddon" is particularly classic in its interpretation of this plot: it is early winter, and Su Yu is pacing back and forth in the cold night with his arms around him. Pushing the door back in, he said to the generals in the conference room, "To be honest, I hate that I can't ask someone to do the math for us, so as not to burn in my heart." The enemy situation briefing, I have no reason to deny. If Du Yuming really did go two Huaihuai, I did not make the deployment to deal with it, delayed the responsibility of the military aircraft, did not talk about it, and affected the entire decisive battle on the southern front. However, I can't convince myself, I think, Du Yuming will not go two Huaihuai, no... Never.".
In this performance, Su Yu's last two lines, "Like the Japanese Wind and Like Thunder", vividly express the characteristics of the characters.
"No" is to show That Su Yu is thoughtful, and "never" is to make a decision, to surpass Guan Shan and show the wind of a great general!
After the "decision-making", Su Yu was once again caught in a long period of psychological torture, he stayed up for many days, waiting for his judgment to be verified...
Zhang Zhen pushed the door in, and Xingchong rushed: "Du Yuming is out!" ”
Riding on a bench in reverse, the commander of the millet who had been tired for seven days heard the words and asked decisively: "Which line to take?" ”
Zhang Zhen replied, "The commander's judgment was completely correct, and the enemy did retreat in the direction of Xiao County and Yongcheng." ”
Su Yu held the newspaper in both hands and pulled himself up steeply, the heroic and martial spirit of the soldiers was shocking, and he walked out with his steps, and Zhang Zhen followed closely...
The movie "The Battle of Huaihai" added a voiceover after this scene: "Many years later, Su Yu and his family sat around gossiping, saying that they had fought most of their lives, and what made him most nervous was the second stage of the Huaihai Campaign, the East China Field Army had reached its limit after many mission transfers, at this time, Du Yuming led 300,000 people from Xuzhou to the south, if there was a slight mistake to let Du Yuming run away, or join forces with Huang Wei's army, the adverse impact on the entire campaign was difficult to estimate." However, it is not enough to rely only on the seven columns originally deployed on the northern front to undertake the task of pursuing and encircling Du Yuming's clique, and in any case it is not enough. ”
This voiceover is very simple in design, but it can make people's blood boil and even tears when read.
This is the charm of the performance of the older generation of special actors, and it is also the reason why the movie "Armageddon" has always been difficult to surpass.
Guo Guangping (first from left)
Compared with Xie Weicai, Guo Guangping lacked some hardness and heroism, which was a major weakness to Su Yu in shaping the period of Armageddon.
Objectively speaking, if Guo Guangping can show half of Xie Weicai's level, it is enough to be commendable.
