Jiao Huang, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Baoguo, Zhang Guoguo, Chen Daoming, five old drama bones, are all national first-class actors and belong to the powerful actors.
They also have one thing in common, that is, in their masterpieces, they have more or less created the classic role of emperor. In particular, Tang Guoqiang's old drama bones can be described as the emperor's professional household. According to incomplete statistics, the scope of the emperor he played involved five thousand years, and it cannot be said that every emperor has been played, but he has played the emperor of each dynasty, and even played several emperors in a dynasty.
So among these 5 old drama bones, which one is strong as the emperor? Is it to come to Shandong to find Lan Xiang, or something else, today Song Anzhi came to analyze it.
I. What is the difference between the masterpieces of the 5 old drama bones and their styles?
The first one said that the oldest Jiao Huang was the oldest, in fact, Jiao Huang's "main business" was not film and television dramas, but dramas, and enjoyed a high reputation in the drama industry, known as "South Jiaobei Yu".
Jiao Huang has always thought of himself as a dramatist, not a film and television industry, let alone a person in the entertainment industry, acting in a TV series is a cameo.
But even so, the TV series he plays are mostly classics. In terms of the role of the emperor, it is mainly the Han Jing Emperor in "The Emperor of Han Wu", the Kangxi Emperor in "Yongzheng Dynasty", and the Qianlong Emperor in "Qianlong Dynasty".
Among them, the Kangxi Emperor in "Yongzheng Dynasty" is the most classic, and so far, the most classic Kangxi Emperor in the eyes of many viewers even thinks that "Jiao Huang is not playing the Kangxi Emperor, but the Kangxi Emperor himself."
In this TV series, the Kangxi Emperor, played by Jiao Huang' grandfather, on the one hand, portrays the image of the Kangxi Emperor in his later years facing the nine sons and taking the wife, which is a helpless and failed father who has never been able to give a heavy hand to his son. On the one hand, it is portrayed that the Kangxi Emperor is not angry and arrogant, and seems to be benevolent and generous, but when the thunderbolt means is not at all soft, it is killed between laughter, and this kind of introverted and relaxed acting skills can be much smarter than the acting skills expressed externally through body movements, which is a higher level.
Of course, Jiao Huang's grandfather is very general in "Qianlong Dynasty", first of all, there is a problem with the direction of the script, it seems that the Qianlong Emperor is the protagonist, but in fact, he yan is the protagonist, as long as there are problems that cannot be solved, it is possible to find hezhen, exaggerating the role of hezhen. Secondly, Jiao Huang was 66 years old at the time, playing the Qianlong Emperor's three old age groups, the sense of violation is too strong, even if the acting skills can make up for the age gap, but when the age difference is too large, the acting skills are too good to make up for this sense of violation.
The second said that the emperor specialized Tang Guoqiang, who was known as the "jade-faced little student" when he debuted in his early years, similar to the positioning of today's small fresh meat. Many people think that he is not far away, thinking that he is just relying on his appearance for a while, and there is no acting skill, and Tang Guoqiang later encountered a bottleneck.
But then he broke out of a sunny avenue, through the "Garland under the Mountain" movie, as well as playing Zhuge Liang in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and finally through the role of the Yongzheng Emperor in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", he completely got rid of the positioning of small fresh meat and became a powerful actor.
Since then, Tang Guoqiang has been unstoppable, and it can be said that as long as he is a famous emperor, he has basically played it. But to say that the most classic role is naturally the role of the Yongzheng Emperor.
In "Yongzheng Dynasty", Tang Guoqiang interpreted the emperor as a human being, and there was also a helpless side, which perfectly deduced the various different and even contradictory personalities of the Yongzheng Emperor in history, such as "mean and unkind", "temperamental people", "serving the country and the people", and "belly black".
Song Anzhi believes that the biggest highlight of this is to show the audience a flesh-and-blood Yongzheng Emperor, with a good side and a bad side, not a monotonous positioning of black and white.
It can be said that Tang Guoqiang's control of the role of the emperor is handy, but it may be a problem with his own appearance, and the emperor he plays feels that the human touch is very strong, more grounded, but the domineering is insufficient.
For example, the role of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who plays the domineering, always feels that it is not that the acting skills are not good, but in terms of appearance, it is the lack of domineering spirit, which can be said to be a small flaw of his. After all, when the appearance lacks the domineering side leakage that the role needs, when the acting skills cannot make up for it, it is indeed almost meaningless.
The third person to talk about Chen Baoguo is to play a number of classic TV series. Among them, there are also many emperor roles, the main representative works are "Han Wu Emperor" and "Daming Dynasty 1566".
In the case of the Jiajing Emperor in "Daming Dynasty 1566", Chen Baoguo interprets the mysterious and alternative Jiajing Emperor brilliantly, portraying a crazy and shrewd Jiajing Emperor. In esoteric terms, Chen Baoguo's version of the Jiajing Emperor is unique in its portrayal of the emperor, and in the end it is not the emperor's side of killing and robbing with his life, but the emperor's side of being just a high-ranking prisoner under the huge imperial system.
It may be said that in terms of playing the emperor, Chen Baoguo is almost impeccable, the domineering Emperor Wu of Han, the nervous but shrewd and vicious Jiajing Emperor, he can control it.
The fourth one is Zhang Guoguo, the old drama bone, whose deepest impression on Song Anzhi is the two dramas "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview" and "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", which can be described as a hot time when he was a child.
Of course, Zhang Guoguo's other TV drama works are also classics, but compared with several other old drama bones, although with age and other reasons, the works of old drama bones are less and less, but Zhang Guoli retreated to the background earlier, and the sense of existence is relatively low.
His "Kangxi Micro Service Private Visit" left a deep impression, the so-called Kangxi prosperous world, in fact, is full of holes, the dark side of society is too much, it seems that the Kangxi Emperor can eventually punish evil and promote good every time, but a huge empire, the system derives all kinds of drawbacks, relying on the emperor's micro service private visits to govern, is simply useless, and even the effect of curing the symptoms but not the root causes can not be achieved.
Of course, this TV series also has a feature, that is, Zhang Guo's version of the Kangxi Emperor belongs to the "joke emperor", which is very different from the emperor in the previous audience's impression, and the emperor shown to people is too grounded and unique, such a theme is rare today.
Of course, relatively speaking, Zhang Guoguo's acting skills are there, but the shortcomings in his personal appearance are also obvious, and his appearance is more suitable for the role of politeness and benevolence. In terms of playing the emperor, he is the same as Tang Guoqiang, and can easily portray the emperor's human touch, but the domineering is insufficient, and even worse, it is more than benevolent, the majesty is insufficient, and it is not suitable for playing the role of the domineering and vicious emperor.
The fifth one talks about Chen Daoming, Chen Daoming plays many imperial roles, the most classic and famous of which is the Kangxi Emperor in "Kangxi Dynasty".
Chen Daoming's version of the Kangxi Emperor is a fairly classic version, showing the aristocratic temperament of the young and middle-aged Kangxi Emperor to the fullest, and it has to be said here that Chen Daoming's appearance is also very suitable for this role.
Chen Daoming's acting skills are also very good, but compared to the old drama bone Jiao Huang, in terms of not being angry and self-assertive and retracting freely, he still seems to lack a little, and sometimes he has to express the character's emotions through the external way of body movements.
Many netizens think that Chen Daoming is a bit cookie-cutter, a little too upright, the acting skills are actually average, Song Anzhi thinks that Chen Daoming's acting skills must be no problem, like the "Siege" TV series, Chen Daoming can be retracted freely, and the performance is very good.
Of course, it may be because of the appearance factor, Chen Daoming's long-term role as the emperor is somewhat the same, or it is mostly the kind of role with a bright image and a wise and divine martial spirit. Therefore, when Chen Daoming played Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu in "The Legend of Chu Han", portrayed Liu Bang's rogue rogue, he always gave people a sense of violation, feeling that the body movements were excessive, and the performance traces were somewhat obvious, a little unable to let go.
There is also the role of the Kangxi Emperor in "Kangxi Dynasty", which is simply too suitable for Chen Daoming, as if it is specially tailored for him, and he and this role are simply a perfect match made in heaven, so once it is played, it is a hot moment.
But because of this, it seems that it is also invisibly limited to his play path, so the roles that followed him are not diversified, so the improvement of acting skills is naturally limited to a certain extent. Therefore, Chen Daoming not only has a certain sense of violation when playing Liu Bang, but also has an obvious sense of violation in the movie "Infernal Affairs".
Second, the portrayal of the role is actually directly related to the script.
I feel that many viewers now have a blind spot, that is, the film and television dramas in which the old drama bones participate are certainly no problem, but many times it is difficult to say anything and disappointing.
The reason for this is that there is a key factor that affects the performance of the actors, that is, the script problem.
How important is the quality of the script?
As mentioned in the previous article, it is very clear that when Jiao Huang encountered the role of the Kangxi Emperor with deep script "Yongzheng Dynasty" and met his own conditions, although it was only a supporting role, he suppressed the equally wonderful Tang Guoqiang version of the Yongzheng Emperor.
The same is true of Chen Daoming's role as the Kangxi Emperor of "Kangxi Dynasty", although the depth of the script is not as deep as that of "Yongzheng Dynasty", but it is very compatible with Chen Daoming's own conditions, it is almost as if it was tailor-made for him, and naturally it is also a great success.
Therefore, the script is good and deep, and the acting skills of the old drama bones can naturally play better, and on this basis, the role will be portrayed and interpreted to a higher level.
But in the same way, when an actor encounters a good script or a script that fits his acting skills, it is natural to do more with less, but it has always been so, especially the film and television drama that only matches his acting skills, he has somewhat limited himself, like Chen Daoming's old drama bone.
To test an actor's acting skills, in fact, it still depends on whether different roles can be interpreted well or badly, not only playing the domineering and fierce emperor, but also playing the cowardly and helpless king of the country, but also playing the emperor of the rogue rogue, and then for the mysterious and alternative emperor can also be controlled, this is the real acting skill, it can also be said that it is a thousand faces.
Finally, these five old drama bones have their own advantages and disadvantages in playing the emperor, each with its own characteristics, and there is no need to score high and low.
If the scope is expanded, it is not limited to the role of the emperor, in terms of the diversification of acting skills, Jiao Huang, who is born as a drama actor, should be better, after all, the order that tests the difficulty of acting skills is drama- film - TV series. What's more, Jiao Huang also enjoys a high reputation in the drama industry and is the famous "Prince of Shakespeare".
The other four relatively young old drama bones have their own advantages, there are pure acting skills, and there are small flaws of one kind or another, but on the whole, they are flawed, and they are worthy of the praise of the old drama bones, and they are all powerful.
