Introduction: In 1951, Chairman Mao ordered that the Chinese Volunteer Army led by Marshal Peng Dehuai began the vigorous War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. This campaign brought out the momentum of the People's Volunteers and also the prestige of China in the world. In recent years, the theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has been very hot, and a large number of related film and television works have emerged. As the commander-in-chief of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Peng Dehuai has gained great attention in film and television works, and many actors are proud to play General Peng Dehuai.
In the years when Sino-US relations were close, the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was not presented much in film and television works, so Marshal Peng Dehuai mostly existed in the form of supporting roles in film and television works. Now, as the central figure of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Peng Dehuai's proportion of works has increased, leaving the audience with a deep impression on him. Marshal Peng Dehuai, with a straightforward personality, a heroic personality, and a strict and gentle treatment of soldiers, was Chairman Mao's close and good comrade-in-arms, and once said: Whoever can stand with a sword is General Peng.
Marshal Peng Dehuai, who has been a military man all his life and has distinguished himself in battle, has a high prestige in the People's Liberation Army. He had strong combat command ability and a bold personality, and dedicated his life to the cause of the liberation of New China. Among the marshal Peng Dehuai played by a number of actors, Teacher Ding Yongdai in "Crossing the Yalu River" and Teacher Dong Yong in "Marshal Peng Dehuai" left a great impression on us.
1. Dong Yong
In the 2016 CCTV TV series "Marshal Peng Dehuai", Dong Yong played Marshal Peng Dehuai's life of fighting horses. Talking about the feelings of playing Marshal Peng Dehuai, the professional actor said that he was very honored and at the same time, the pressure was also very high. In order to play this big hero, he specially bought more than a dozen copies of Marshal Peng Dehuai's materials, according to the historical background, other film and television materials, not only to be familiar with Marshal Peng Dehuai's words and deeds, but also to seize his "soul".
Marshal Peng Dehuai, performed by Teacher Dong Yong, told the story of a peasant child in the old society, who went through difficulties, fought bravely, and became a revolutionary and a military man, and he created the image of a bloody, upright, and dedicated soldier who served the people.
Teacher Dong Yong's parents were both veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they were once soldiers under President Peng. When they learned that their son was going to play Mr. Peng, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. The second elder instructed Teacher Dong Yong to play this role well. To this end, Teacher Dong Yong specially went to Xiangtan, Hunan Province, The hometown of Mr. Peng, to experience life, and also studied the battles he participated in many times.
Teacher Dong Yong's appearance is actually somewhat similar to Mr. Peng's, in order to play the image of Mr. Peng in his later years, Mr. Dong Yong insisted on losing weight in the later stage and strictly controlled the shape. In order to achieve physical similarity, under the pressure of shooting high intensity, I only ate one bite of food a day. In the eyes of Teacher Dong Yong, Mr. Peng is the "God of War", so for him, this bit of suffering is nothing at all.
In the play, Teacher Dong Yong also let Mr. Peng's state in daily life be presented in front of the audience. Mr. Peng's work is strict and serious, but in life he is very kind to people, strict, and very sincere to the people, and the soldiers he leads are strictly disciplined, brave on the battlefield, and have achieved strict self-discipline. Teacher Dong Yong's performance allowed the audience to see a different Mr. Peng.
2. Ding Yongdai
When Ding Yongdai received the invitation to "Crossing the Yalu River", he was still filming in Sichuan, so he casually sent a few photos to the past. After Ding Yongdai finished filming, he received a phone call saying that he played Peng Dehuai. When he heard this news, Teacher Ding Yongdai was very excited, because he felt very honored and proud to play such a big person.
Ding Yongdai's face shape is not very similar to Mr. Peng, in order to make the image more realistic, he went to the dental hospital to paste a tooth piece to make the mouth shape more prominent. Although the appearance is still very different, Teacher Ding Yongdai has captured the essence of Mr. Peng through his own thinking, and has created a mr. Peng who is not similar in shape but god-like with a simple and generous performance.
Ding Yongdai knew that Mr. Peng was not only straight, but also very tender through his own checking of information. In some real photos on the Korean battlefield, Mr. Peng always smiled at each other. So I took the initiative to find the director, re-set the role, decided to show Mr. Peng as an ordinary person, although I found a mr. Peng who puts joy and sorrow on his face, but has affinity and cohesion.
The director follows Ding Yongdai's train of thought, and the final work makes people feel vivid and warm. Especially in a scene after Mao Anying's sacrifice, Ding Yongdai's performance can make the audience feel the pain of the character's cone. Mr. Peng, played by Ding Yongdai, is not only a general, but also an elder, an old revolutionary with flesh and blood and emotions. In the face of the audience's recognition of this drama, Teacher Ding Yongdai was very pleased.
Summary: Both teachers are professional actors, and they gave us a vivid image of Mr. Peng, and their performances are not different, they are all excellent. What they hope to bring to everyone is to let the audience know more about Mr. Peng, learn his fighting spirit, let us remember history, and love our homeland more.
