The TV series "Meritorious Service", which tells the true stories of the first eight "Order of the Republic" winners, has not only achieved a high score of 9.1 on Douban since its inception, but also aroused strong resonance and discussion among many viewers.
With the artistic technique of "national narrative and expression of the times", it uses the form of unit drama to connect the colorful chapters of the lives of the eight meritorious figures with the fate of the republic, interpreting their "loyal, persistent, simple" life character and the lofty realm of dedication to the people of the motherland.
At present, the TV series "Meritorious Service" has been broadcast to the eighth unit - Academician Yuan Longping's Dream of Cooling Under the Grass! After many viewers watched it, they directly "broke the defense".
However, with the popularity of the unit, the question of "who plays Academician Yuan Longping is more like" has aroused many people's discussion.
In detail, it is mainly concentrated in the five actors who have played academician Yuan Longping from 1990 to the present, spanning films, TV series, musicals, variety shows and other fields.
They are: Li Xinmin, 1990 TV series "Yuan Longping"; Guo Jinglin, 2009 film "Yuan Longping"; Xia Zhenkai, 2017 musical "Yuan Longping"; Tao Hai, 2021 CCTV Variety Show "Classic China" No. 2 "Yuan Longping Song Yingxing Shake Hands Across 300 Years"; Huang Zhizhong, 2021 TV series "Yuan Longping".
Among them, especially the Huang Zhizhong version and the Guo Jinglin version of the controversy is particularly fierce.
So, the same is the role of Academician Yuan Longping, Huang Zhizhong's version and Guo Jinglin's version, what is the difference?
In the view of the pickpocket sister, Huang Zhizhong and Guo Jinglin have their own advantages, and both actors accurately capture a certain aspect of Yuan Lao and vividly interpret it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Huang Zhizhong's version of Academician Yuan Longping</h1>
As a veteran actor from basketball player, Huang Zhizhong, after graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, has been mainly acting in the main dramas: "Daming Dynasty", "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", "Enemy of the People", "Glorious Era", "Peak Explosion"... Tall, upright, coupled with pure acting skills, Huang Zhizhong's version of Academician Yuan Longping "has both form and god".
In the past, when we played important characters, we often pursued "similarity", that is, to use special actors as much as possible.
However, with the continuous development of makeup technology, "shape- likeness" can be compensated by technology, and "god-likeness" is particularly important.
But even so, "shape-like" is also the first step to playing the role of an important person.
In order to achieve "shape-likeness", Huang Zhizhong can be described as painstaking.
Before the start of filming, Huang Zhizhong personally visited Elder Yuan, did a good job of modeling Elder Yuan in various periods, and asked him to look at it.
Before Elder Yuan saw these photos, he couldn't help but sigh: A little, the hair is a bit like!
After reading it, I agreed, and the two still took a picture together cordially.
In the "shape" to achieve even the hair is like, then "god-like"?
Let's go straight to the TV series and take a few clips as an example.
First, Yuan Longping's last lesson.
This paragraph is a great test of Huang Zhizhong's acting skills: first, Yuan Longping gave up the "iron rice bowl" of teachers to study rice, and his heart was tangled, struggling, anxious, and even a little confused; second, cutting off his own back road all the way forward, there must be enough reasons to convince himself, persuade others, and manifest as a speech (lecture) in the play; third, the reason for doing this is because of courage, self-confidence, and determination to win.
In other words, the character's heart is complex, the transformation is huge, the expression, demeanor, tone, action, a little bit of a failure to do it, will lead to the role can not "stand".
Let's take a look at how Huang Zhizhong acted. When he recalls his mother and childhood, he is full of sorrow and joy; when he talks about the current situation, he is full of mixed feelings; when he looks forward to the future, he is passionate.
The characters are constantly changing, the speed of speech is constantly accelerating, the tone of speech is constantly increasing, and the expressions are from deep thinking, to slight pain, to confidence... The character is up and running!
Second, blind dates are distracted.
The matchmaker brought the girl on a blind date, but Yuan Longping was distracted - what he was most worried about in his heart was rice!
Others were chattering there, but Yuan Longping took the rice spike and fell into meditation.
In this clip, Huang Zhizhong immediately performed Yuan Longping's focused side!
Third, comfort the mother.
After the new variety of rice was researched, Yuan Longping went to comfort his mother, and this fragment was extremely tear-inducing.
Whether it is the narration or the scene, Sheng Sheng portrays a "realistic version" of "the son wants to raise and does not wait".
But what is the best way to comfort a mother? It's so that she can eat enough, so that we can all eat!
But he did not deliberately stir up emotion, and then the camera turned, and Yuan Longping tied his wife's red-headed rope to the rice ear - what reward is more direct than actual action?
The wonderful thing about Huang Zhizhong's performance is that he does not portray this role as a special actor, but enters the inner world of Academician Yuan Longping with abundant emotion, summarizing the highlight moments in Yuan's life as knowledge, sweat, inspiration and opportunity, thus supporting the "two dreams".
It is precisely because of this kind of performance method of thinking big, starting small, and deadlocking details, such as the inner drama of sending off Uncle Guangtian, the opponent drama of Huang Zhizhong and He Zhengjun, Huang Zhizhong can't help but learn yuan lao to touch his hair, etc., so that this version of Academician Yuan Longping has been unanimously praised and widely praised.
After watching the plot, by the way, I looked at the credits: director Yan Jiangang and screenwriter Song Fangjin, and suddenly realized: this unit is really careful! The script is written steadily, the directing is not traceable, coupled with Huang Zhizhong's acting skills, this version of Yuan Longping, the shape and god are both worthy of the name.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > Academician Yuan Longping of the Guojinglin version</h1>
Guo Jinglin is also a senior actor from the class, he graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy.
But unlike Huang Zhizhong, he also has a basketball player status, he is also a veteran director and screenwriter in the industry.
Then in terms of multiple identities, the difference between the two comes out: one is more angry, and the other is heavier!
As far as the individual identity of the actor is concerned, Guo Jinglin has also a lot of works: "New Bright Sword", "Dog Thirteen", "Great Prospects", "Memory Cutting"... Because he is also an actor who mainly plays the main drama, the two are actually quite similar on the road to the play.
However, it should be noted that the movie "Yuan Longping" is a documentary, and Yuan Lao himself also made a cameo appearance.
Therefore, Guo Jinglin's version of Academician Yuan Longping is more of a record, recording the experience of Yuan Lao from the age of 30 to 60 years old, recording the situation of Yuan Lao's research on hybrid rice in various periods, thus showing academician Yuan Longping's noble sentiments of worrying about the world, benefiting mankind, self-improvement, and indifferent to fame and fortune. In other words, the composition of Guo Jinglin's performance is weakened, because the documentary focuses more on the sense of reality.
But even if limited by the limitations of the length of the film and the performance space, Guo Jinglin has perfectly shaped the role of Yuan Lao. Because Guo Jinglin's version of Yuan Longping pays more attention to the noble character and glorious image of Yuan Lao, and these are integrated with the image in the audience's mind, and also play a strong resonance.
Therefore, the biggest difference between the two is that the same is the performance of Academician Yuan Longping, the Huang Zhizhong version and the Guo Jinglin version is that one pays attention to the high restoration of the documentary style, and the other deeply enters the inner world of Academician Yuan Longping in the form of artistic processing; the performance of the two actors is put together, and a full, complete and vivid Academician Yuan Longping is performed!
You see, the audience is more "honest", and they have given both works a high score of 9.1 on Douban.
Wen Wu first, Huang Zhizhong and Guo Jinglin's performances have their own advantages, and the two good actors are using spirit and flesh to strive to make Academician Yuan Longping reborn on the screen.
Paying tribute to them, it is precisely because of the interpretation of these good actors that the image of Academician Yuan Longping has been recognized and admired by more people in film and television works.
Hats off to Merit!
Hats off to the merits!
