Academician Yuan Longping died, and the whole country was in mourning, the CCTV Movie Channel broadcast the movie "Yuan Longping" 5 times online, and Hunan Satellite TV also announced the suspension of "Fast Book" and broadcast this movie.
One of the highlights of this biopic is that Elder Yuan personally starred in his old age at the age of 79.
Playing Yuan Longping well is not an easy task.
For the Chinese people, the image of Elder Yuan is multi-faceted, three-dimensional, and rich. He is both a Confucian scholar who plays the violin in the rice fields and a "peasant man" wearing a simple plaid shirt in front of the camera, who will sigh and scratch his head when asked about students in interviews, and he is also a cute old man with great energy and love to swim.
In the movie "Yuan Longping", the actor Guo Jinglin, who played Yuan Lao, won the "Best Actor" award at the Huabiao Awards for this role.

From 1990 to the present, five actors who have played Yuan Longping in film and television dramas, musicals and variety shows, the first actor Li Xinmin has died, the third actor Guo Jinglin is the most widely known, and the fifth actor Huang Zhizhong has left a bitter regret in his heart.
First place: Li Xinmin
Yuan Longping, as the protagonist of a film and television character, was first put on the screen as a 3-episode TV series directed by Gong Ruofei in 1990, which won the first prize of the "Golden Sail Award" and the first prize of Hunan Excellent TV Program 31 years ago.
Playing Yuan Longping in the play is actor Li Xinmin. He was born in 1950, and when he took over the play, he was just 40 years old, playing Yuan Lao in middle age. Although it is not very close in appearance, it is better to be simple and sincere in acting, and to see the skill in plain reality.
Perhaps because of the age, the audience that has seen this drama is not much, and the directors Gong Ruofei and Li Xinmin both became famous with other works more than ten years after filming "Yuan Longping".
Gong Ruofei directed "Classmate Qia Teenager", "Tang Dynasty Love History" and "Blood Xiangxi", which have won many awards. Li Xinmin starred in "Zhan Yu" in "The Gate of the Big House" and was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" at the 28th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Cinema with "Lao Zhai".
It is regrettable that Li Xinmin, as the first actor to play Yuan Longping in a TV series, died one step ahead of Yuan Lao, and died of illness on March 3, 2018 at the age of 67.
Second place: Guo Jinglin
In March 2009, on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the Republic of China, the movie "Yuan Longping", directed by Shi Fenghe, written by Tan Xiao and Luo Ju, and starring Guo Jinglin, was released.
At the end of the film, Yuan Longping's personal appearance became a highlight of the biographical film: the actor appeared in the same play as the prototype. In the face of the reporter's interview, Elder Yuan told his two dreams in English - "The Dream of Cooling under the Grass" and "The Dream of Hybrid Rice Covering the World", and the last picture was frozen in Elder Yuan's smile.
In the movie, Guo Jinglin has been acting from the age of 30 to the age of 60, born in 1970, and from the appearance point of view, he is undoubtedly the closest to the prototype among the five yuan lao actors. The reason why he won the 13th Huabiao Awards with this role is due to Guo Jinglin's careful consideration of the role.
"In my mind he was not a mortal, and I made a joke with him, 'Elder Yuan, how do I play you?'" You're strong in everything'. Guo Jinglin said: "On wisdom, Teacher Yuan is a super intelligent person, can use a seed to change the world, I can't compare to him; on personality, Teacher Yuan can only do one thing in his life and do so successfully, such a super personality, I can't compare to him; on the taste of life, Teacher Yuan once won the swimming championship, and played the violin so well, and speaks fluent English, I still can't compare to him." ”
Later, Guo Jinglin finally found a little confidence: "I am an actor, only the acting skills are stronger than him in this regard." ”
In order to play Yuan Longping well, Guo Jinglin not only studied it carefully from the point of view of raising his hands and feet, but also pursued the godlike appearance that came out of his bones.
"The slightest imitation is not clever. Actors must have their own creations, which are not like dramas, too much like not art. He captured the character characteristics of Yuan Lao's "romance" and "tenacity" and performed a "charming" Yuan Longping.
Guo Jinglin in the audience's cognition may be Gao Yang, a disciple of the courtyard in "Days Related to Youth", chu Yunfei in "New Bright Sword", in the movie "Yuan Longping", he outlines Yuan Longping's wisdom life with a gentle gentleman's temperament, more legendary and romantic.
Some Douban netizens commented: "Elder Yuan outside the play is very cute, and Elder Yuan in the play is equally cute." ”
In August 2009, the 13th China Film Huabiao Awards was announced, and Guo Jinglin took away the Emperor of Film Trophy, and his acceptance speech was as simple as the acting skills in the film, which made many people cry:
"I hope that my mother who is far away in heaven and my wife can come to see me, kiss me, and hug me."
Because when he was filming "Yuan Longping", his wife was in the recovery stage after surgery, but after filming, his wife unfortunately died of cancer recurrence, and this film emperor trophy is a consolation to his beloved wife.
Third place: Xia Zhenkai
In June 2017, the musical "Yuan Longping" premiered at the Hunan Grand Theatre. Yuan Longping is played by Actor Xia Zhenkai, who was born in 1985 and graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
This version of "Yuan Longping" is not only the youngest of the 5 people, but also the most "out-of-line" in the form of expression - the music starts, "Yuan Longping" sings and dances into the audience's field, he dances tap dances in the rice fields, plays the violin, and also dismantles his own bed sheets to build a "moonlight vegetable shed", which is very romantic.
Inspiration was generated after the creators visited Yuan Lao: "We went to Sanya, Hainan To collect wind, and when we visited Yuan Lao, he danced tap dance on the spot, sang and played the violin, which provided a creative opportunity for the song and dance presentation of the musical." ”
"Yuan Longping" in the musical is not the cute grandfather we are familiar with, but the energetic and enthusiastic "youth version", Xia Zhenkai said, he strives to integrate the simplicity of the peasant children of Yuan Lao, the rigor of the great scientists, the rich and profound education, and shape a flesh-and-blood "person" who can make the audience feel close.
During the rehearsal process, everyone was very engaged, "the longest rehearsal in the impression was a full 16 hours, everyone was sweating, but everyone still insisted on rehearsing with the fullest enthusiasm." At the end, many people, including me, cried, touched by the cohesion of our crew and the love for this musical. ”
In order to protect his voice to complete the premiere for 3 consecutive days, Xia Zhenkai could only sing on the stage with a tone of air, he said: "The fatigue of the body may not be solved for a while, but we can use Yuan Longping's spirit to motivate ourselves, constantly adjust the state, and be sure to show the audience the best performance." ”
After Xia Zhenkai learned the news of Elder Yuan's death, he sent a condolence in his heartache: "Still can't keep you!" Elder Yuan, all the way good. ”
Fourth place: Tao Hai
In March 2021, the CCTV variety show "China in the Classics", which has a high score of 8.9 on Douban, and the second program "invited" Song Yingxing, the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu", to stage a "handshake" with Yuan Longping in the rice field with modern etiquette spanning more than 300 years, which became the climax of this program.
Playing Yuan Longping is actor Tao Hai. Born in 1971, he has starred in a series of film and television dramas such as "Submission of Names" and "Holy Heaven's Gate".
In "China in the Classics", he acted from Yuan Longping in his 30s to white-haired cang, although the program was only a short period of more than 1 hour, Tao Hai's performance "hit" the audience's heart in a short period of time, and the lines were extremely infectious.
"Song Yingxing" played by Li Guangjie and "Yuan Longping" played by Tao Hai, when shaking hands through time and space, many viewers in front of the screen know that all this is a dramatic imagination, but they still inevitably "break the defense"!
This is the charm of a good actor, and the performance is not in the length but in the concentration.
After Elder Yuan's death, Tao Hai mourned the old man with a gesture of mourning, and I don't know if he has the next chance to play Elder Yuan in film and television dramas?
Fifth place: Huang Zhizhong
For the above four actors, Yuan Lao has seen their "possibility" of interpreting themselves. But for Huang Zhizhong, who is filming the "Yuan Longping" unit in the TV series "Meritorious Service", it is a bitter regret.
After learning the bad news, he posted: "I still don't believe it's true" "A while ago, he also said that he waited for the film to be released to visit you and ask for guidance, and he will never have this opportunity" "I will always miss you."
"Meritorious Service" is directed by Zheng Xiaolong and is divided into 8 units to tell the story of 8 meritorious characters: "Yu Min", "Shen Jilan", "Sun Jiadong", "Li Yannian", "Zhang Fuqing", "Yuan Longping", "Huang Xuhua", "Tu Youyou".
Among them, Huang Zhizhong starred as Yuan Longping, Lei Jiayin as Yu Min, Zhou Xun as Tu Youyou, Jiang Xin as Shen Jilan, Guo Tao as Zhang Fuqing, and Tong Dawei as Sun Jiadong.
Not long ago, "Meritorious Service" exposed a trailer, and Yuan Longping, played by Huang Zhizhong, made his debut. His face was resolute and he said, "Something went wrong, I Yuan Longping carried it!" "It was moving.
For this version of "Yuan Longping", which has not yet appeared, director Zheng Xiaolong said: Restore the meritorious characters to ordinary people to shoot, loyal to their innate emotions, and also loyal to the true logic of the times, "Only in this way can we shoot works that the people love to see." ”
Huang Zhizhong, as the "Emperor of Double Materials" of the Feitian Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with works such as "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", "Daming Dynasty", "Chinese Expeditionary Army" and so on, and before starring in Yuan Longping this time, he read a lot of relevant materials.
What touched Huang Zhizhong the most was Elder Yuan's affectionate memories of his mother: "Some people say that I changed the world with a seed, and I know that this seed was planted for me by my mother when I was young."
The elderly man is willing to reduce himself to a romantic and determined child, for the seeds planted by his mother when he was young, he strives to grow and be born to the sun... Such an interpretation makes people look forward to Huang Zhizhong's interpretation and look forward to the early start of "Meritorious Service".
"Three meals a day, the aroma of rice is pervasive, and the full eater should often remember Yuan Gong."
Elder Yuan took the seeds of his dreams and went to a distant place.
And we can reminisce, remember, and relive the stories related to this old man over and over again in light and shadow.
