[Of the seven special actors of Chairman Mao, which one is most similar?] 】
The first picture is a postcard of Chairman Mao printed by the Northeast Film Studio in the 1950s, which is very precious.
The other pictures are of special actors who played Chairman Mao in various periods.
Who do you think is more like Chairman Mao in temperament?
The second picture, which you may not be familiar with, is Han Shi, who played Chairman Mao in the old film "Dadu River".
Everyone else is more familiar with it: Gu Yue, Tang Guoqiang, Liu Ye, Wang Xia, Huang Haibing, Wang Lei.
Among them, Wang Lei's most controversial is his stills in the revolutionary historical drama "Hundred Refining into Steel".
Chairman Mao's special actor impressed me the most was Wang Xia (yīng), who starred in Jinggangshan, which was the best of the red TV series I had ever seen.
Wang Xia has played Mao Zedong on the silver screen about 60 times, and every time he performs, there is a breakthrough, he said:
"Before I perform, I not only have to read his books, find his materials, understand the background of that period and the relationship between the characters around me, and fully understand his inner growth and changes, which are the duty of an actor."
In order to play Mao Zedong well, he has turned down many other roles over the years, and he has also turned down a large number of advertising invitations (compare another special actor), but he does not regret it. He said: "Playing Mao Zedong is my greatest honor. ”
Director Chen Li also has a high evaluation of him: "No one can show Mao Zedong's temperament better than Wang Xia! ”
