In 2010, the anti-war film "Snow Leopard" was broadcast and was so well received that it even became a must-replay drama during the summer vacation.
The starring article has also been promoted to a first-line star because of this drama, and the resources are continuous.
Looking at this drama with the current vision, you will find that there are many unreasonable and inappropriate places in the plot, but you will still be attracted by the superb acting skills of the article, so as to ignore these flaws.
The character played in the play is called Zhou Weiguo, who is a brother who gave up glory and wealth in the face of great right and wrong, and firmly moved towards the revolutionary road.
Such character settings are rare in anti-war films, so this is also one of the factors that make the play popular.
Zhou Weiguo, Liu Yuan, and Liu Zhihui were good brothers, and although they belonged to different camps, they were bent on fighting for victory and national peace.
Liu Zhihui's actor Zhang Ruoyun played the role of Zhou Weiguo in "New Snow Leopard" 4 years later.
Once Zhou Weiguo's younger brother, now it is Zhou Weiguo, many netizens questioned "Isn't he embarrassed?" ”
Next, let's compare the two actors in the old and new versions of the two actors, when interpreting the same role differently.
01, the article version of Zhou Weiguo
It is said that the character of Zhou Weiguo was not fabricated by the screenwriter out of thin air, he has a real prototype, and this person is General Li Yuan.
In the play, Zhou Weiguo is a brother who can have no worries about food and clothing during the war, and is a proper high-quality student.
He was very righteous and upright, because he was not accustomed to the behavior of the enemy, he was wanted by the whole city, and after his father saved him, he decided to apply for the military academy with Liu Yuan.
On his deathbed, he bowed down to his father and promised him that he would serve the country well after he had succeeded in his studies.
His personality was cultivated from an early age, and as a rich young master, his sense of superiority and debauchery were difficult to change.
In the military school, his grades have always been very good, relying on his clever brain, he was liked by the German instructors, and then he chose to study in Germany, determined to become the best soldier.
After returning to China, he was more cold, courageous, and showed his talent in the military.
The first two battles were the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, but they ended in defeat.
After the fall of Nanjing, his fiancée was bullied by the enemy, and because of her strong self-esteem, she could not accept this matter, and finally chose to settle it in front of him.
The scene where Xiao Ya shouts for help is definitely an epic tear-jerking scene.
The death of his fiancée was a pain in Zhang Weiguo's life.
Later, after playing against others, he shouted Xiao Ya's name at the mountain.
This passage of the article runs through this late nostalgia for Xiao Ya, showing Zhou Wenguo's heavy love and feelings.
There are many confrontation scenes in war films, and the reason why this drama can be compared to "Bright Sword" is because it does not overly deify the protagonist, and most of them follow the facts.
During a mission, Zhou Wenguo and his own squad infiltrated the enemy's arsenal to plant explosives, and when everything was arranged to retreat, the enemy commander found an abnormality and the whole army entered a state of alert.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo's face did not change color, let his comrades change into the clothes of the enemy, and used his advantage of knowing Japanese to take everyone out.
When he almost succeeded with one foot, he was still discovered by the enemy army, and Zhou Weiguo did not have the slightest fear in the face of danger, desperately fighting with the other side.
He led only 12 men, but destroyed the arsenal guarded by 180 people on the other side, buying our army enough time to prepare.
This scene shows the bravery and wit of the characters.
In another battle, Zhou Wenguo returned to Suzhou and met his father.
He did not have any reproach for his son's situation of not returning home for many years, whether he was safe or not, but once again stressed that the country is more important than home, and I hope that peacetime, my son is still there.
The battlefield is cruel, as a father at this time only hopes that his son can return safely, in front of his son is a strict father's appearance.
But after turning around, he was full of tears, and he was not worried about the safety of his son's life at any time, and he did not want to be reunited with the family.
When the enemy army killed Zhou Weiguo's father, which made his hatred for the enemy army even stronger, with the determination to die together, he commanded a large army to attract the fire of the other side in the front, and he led a small detachment to sneak up from behind the enemy army and successfully snatched his father's body back.
This scene shows Zhou Weiguo's jealousy and hatred and his feelings for his father.
People's hearts are good, and enemies can also be friends.
When studying in Germany, Zhou Weiguo met the Japanese Takeshita Toshi, the same hobbies, and saw the concept of high unity of things, which made them quickly become good friends.
Later, after the Takeshita Jun state launched a war, Zhou Weiguo chose to break off relations with him.
The two are in different camps and have different positions, so it can be said that they have become the biggest enemies of the other side on the battlefield, because they both know each other too well.
Takeshita Jun is surrounded by Zhou Wenguo during the mission, and in order to save his last dignity, he proposes to have a duel with his former friend, and finally loses, imploring Zhou Weiguo to end his life.
Watching his friend fall in front of him, Zhou Weiguo cried loudly.
Leaving aside his position and simply starting from his feelings, Zhou Weiguo held a cremation for his friend.
The sensible, kind, and sincere side of the characters in this scene is revealed.
The early stage of the article plot shows the cynical, dragging, and aggressive image of the characters just right.
Later in the plot, after experiencing the separation of life and death and seeing the desolation of the human world, he has become mature, stable, and more concerned about the feelings of others from the heart.
This drama is a small cost drama, the funds in the group are very limited, the costumes, props, scenes, are all OK, but it is still a mess.
When filming was in the coldest year in Beijing, the actors wore thin clothes and braved the cold to shoot outdoors, which was extremely arduous.
Zhang Zhengyong, the actor who plays Yang Dali in the play, was diagnosed with bronchitis due to the ultra-long high-intensity shooting, coupled with a very low temperature environment, and had a fever and cough for several consecutive days, but even so, he still insisted on staying in the crew to shoot the scene, and could only go to the hospital for injections after rest.
In addition to the uncontrollable natural environment, there was also the security measures at that time that were not in place, and during an explosion, due to inaccurate positioning, the face of the article was injured by the fragments of the explosion and was immediately sent to the hospital.
The success of a drama does not depend only on the main actor, but on the cooperation of various departments, and it is not afraid of the old.
With this drama that year, the article was nominated for the title of Emperor of Vision, and successfully won this award, reaching the peak of his life.
02, Zhang Ruoyun's version of Zhou Weiguo
First of all, let's first review the performance of Liu Zhijun, the third brother of Zhou Weiguo, who he played in "Snow Leopard".
In the play, Zhang Ruoyun's role is not very much, but he is also a more brilliant role.
This person looks handsome in military uniform, and the setting of the role is the embodiment of justice, even if he is very young in experience and acting, but he is also a material that can be made.
Four years later, the "Snow Leopard Strong Years" directed by Zhang Jian was officially launched, and for a time, the topic of "Zhang Ruoyun squeezed out the article" attracted heated discussion.
Those familiar with Zhang Ruoyun may know that Zhang Jian is his father, and the relationship between the two is extremely delicate, which makes people feel confused.
Maybe because "Snow Leopard" is a big IP, Director Zhang wants to rub a rub of heat, or maybe he wants to "hold" his son, no matter what reason, remake this classic drama is a good choice.
The plot setting of the new version is almost the same as that of the old version, studying abroad, the children of rich families, and choosing revolution for the sake of national righteousness.
If you want to say which place has the biggest difference, it is Zhang Ruoyun's idol-level appearance.
Comparing this version with the old version, the former will face a rain of bullets and bullets every day, and the soldiers who should be gray-headed have been upgraded to a "type male training camp".
This version, whether it is a young student or a middle-aged uncle, is a muscle man with a straight board and a straight board.
I heard that Zhang Ruoyun went to the gym to practice hard for several months in order to make the image of a soldier upright.
Just by his appearance, he has captured the hearts of many young girls.
How to join the military, how to study abroad, and the friends you have made are all very different from the original version.
After returning to China, he relied on his keen observation and ingenuity again and again to prejudge the enemy's movements, formulate detailed battle plans, help the team achieve victory, and even scenes with more enemies and fewer enemies can be defused by using the terrain.
The most grateful scene in the play is that in order to help the large troops withdraw smoothly, his troops struggled to resist without rear support, and Zhou Weiguo's arm was unfortunately injured by enemy artillery fire.
On the battlefield full of gun smoke, he relied on his strong will and another good arm to climb to the top of the mountain in great pain, and his comrades also sacrificed to help him.
Although the scene of the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms is staged every day, Zhou Weiguo is still extremely hurt.
Hiding his sad feelings, he lay on the ground and slowly moved forward with his body on his side until he was physically weak and passed out.
This scene played by Zhang Ruoyun reflects that the soldiers have a tenacious fighting spirit beyond ordinary people.
After being rescued, he was diagnosed with a necrotic arm, and if he wanted to save his life, he had to have his leg amputated.
Such a choice undoubtedly cost the soldier's life, and he was injured by his right arm, and his comrades and brothers who were present were very angry and did not agree to such an approach.
But what everyone did not think was that Zhou Weiguo decided to amputate his leg without thinking.
Without an arm, he can still fight with his own brain, and he can practice the flexibility of his left hand, because the great righteousness in his heart is not complete.
From Zhang Ruoyun's eyes, the audience can see the firmness of faith and the sense of responsibility for the country, which is very credible.
When he reappeared, the sleeve on one side of his body had been fluttering, and it was very painful to see.
When he walked in the courtyard, he saw that his comrades always responded with smiles, but who could not see that he was forcing a smile?
Celebrating the discharge from the hospital due to serious illness, the comrades-in-arms held a party for him, but also wanted to give him a comfortable mood, after drinking, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, crying bitterly, for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, for the dead fiancée, sad, uneven.
Zhang Ruoyun's handling of this plot is very layered, the subtle changes in the characters are very rich, and his every move makes the audience feel painful.
In addition to the scene of heroic fighting, Zhou Weiguo's relationship with his fiancée and first love is also very sadistic.
For the marriage arranged at home, at first he was very resistant and opposed, and he longed for freedom and free love.
Out of courtesy, he came into contact with Xiao Ya several times under the arrangement of the family, and gradually he was attracted to the girl who pursued romanticism in front of him and fell in love with her.
From time to time, he will prepare romantic surprises for each other, buy her favorite pastries, and the way the two get along envies others.
However, this love did not go as expected, and many netizens implored the screenwriter to "let Xiao Ya resurrect!" ”
Zhang Ruoyun's deep affection when he truly invested in his feelings can be felt by the audience, so when he cried on his knees for Xiao Ya, he was particularly sad.
There is also a woman who makes Zhou Weiguo's soul haunt her dreams, she is chen yi, a heroine among women.
The two are classmates, although her family is very poor, but it is a famous joke in the school, there is a look, there is a brain, many boys are fascinated by it.
In a patriotic action, Zhou Weiguo and her met, and the small seeds of their love began to sprout.
In this relationship, she has always been indisputable, because of the experience of the hour, she has never dared and will not take the initiative to explain and ask about the things she doubts, and in the end, she has not been able to grow old with Zhou Weiguo.
I don't know, Zhou Weiguo risked his life, broke through many difficulties to find Chen Yi, but learned that the scene when she thought she was his wife, how many viewers' hearts were pierced?
Love in a chaotic world is that there are many uncontrollable factors, but Zhou Weiguo gave the most beautiful first love to each other, and the bits and pieces of getting along will become Chen Yi's best memories.
03, the story behind the filming of the "divine drama"
Zhou Weiguo, played by Zhang Ruoyun, is a little less wild and more tender, more like a promising young man full of blood on the battlefield, and more like a polite and infatuated man emotionally.
And Zhou Weiguo, played in the article, has less of a feeling of iron bone tenderness and pays more attention to the interpretation of the arrogance and self-confidence of the characters, whether it is from the age, appearance, or the situation at that time, he is the most suitable candidate.
It can be said that the role of Zhou Weiguo has made the article's career reach its peak, but many people do not know it, in fact, he rejected it at the beginning.
In 2008, the complete script of the play was completed, and the director began to select the actors.
Looking at the inner entertainment showbiz circle, the momentum of the article is very large, and xiaobei, who has just relied on the naïve and unambitious Xiaobei in "Snail Residence", is well known to the audience.
The director compares the age and characteristics of the characters, and the absolute article is a good candidate, coupled with his fame, it must be able to bring good questions to the play.
Therefore, the director immediately contacted the article, but he was reluctant to take over the play.
Because he had just finished filming a play, he wanted to take a good rest at home for a while, and he had an arrangement for his next work, and he didn't want to disrupt his plans.
But his ex-wife Ma Yili knew the news, advised him to star, at this time he is just a little red, the most needed is exposure, as an actor the most confident is a good work.
Subsequently, at the repeated invitations of the director, he reluctantly agreed to star.
In the play, he is not only the male number one, but also takes on the heavy responsibility of the screenwriter, and he is very hardworking.
Zhou Weiguo is a person who is proficient in many Chinese, although the actor speaks the language of foreign languages will do dubbing in the later stage, but in order to avoid the audience as much as possible, he found teachers in different languages, let them translate the required lines and record them, he listened repeatedly in the usual way, followed the pronunciation, and let his mouth shape close to the language.
As mentioned above, the shooting environment was extremely harsh at that time, and the shooting process will be repeatedly filmed, in order to present the most perfect state.
High requirements are good, but many staff, actors and feet are frozen numb, in order to let everyone warm up, the director prepared some liquor when discussing the plot.
Ben was kind, but did not think that the article and many people drank a little too much, the progress can not be slowed down, so the actors were slightly drunk on the scene, but did not think of the classic "drunken madness" famous scene in the play.
All the scenes of the article and his friend Takeshita Jun are written and designed by himself, and such an unforgettable scene of cutting the robe and breaking the righteousness adds highlights to the whole play, and also makes the character of Zhou Weiguo more three-dimensional and fresh.
Many people don't know that "Snow Leopard" has also produced a movie, and the people in the play are all actors of the first part, which can be described as sincere and full.
The plot is very different from the first two parts, which is based on the original story, showing the patriotism of the revolutionary soldiers and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice during the war.
The main perspective this time is Xu Hu, who was once a member of the Zhou Weiguo special team, and his personal comprehensive strength is very strong, and the actor who played Xu Hu is still Qiao Pengyu in the original play.
The heroine is set up as a female special operator, giving the audience a great sense of curiosity.
When the official announcement was announced, it was said that the original class was a horse, and the actor article of the first generation of "Zhou Weiguo" would also star in this drama, which really hung the appetite of the audience, and he still played Zhou Weiguo.
Unfortunately, due to the re-grooming of the character relationship, the article is only a supporting role that only appears for a few minutes.
The release of the title of "Divine Drama" earned enough popularity for the audience, but at this time, Zhou Weiguo was no longer the Zhou Weiguo he once was.
The film ended with a dismal rating of 3.4 points, becoming the lowest-rated "Snow Leopard" series.
The first part scored 8.1 points, the second part scored 6.6, and other derivative works should not be lower than 4.0 points.
summary
The reason why the classic becomes a classic is that it needs to meet multiple conditions, which is simply to say that "the time, place, and people" must be satisfied.
If one point is not achieved, the effect will be unsatisfactory.
A large part of the Zhou Weiguo who likes to play the article is preconceived, and at the same time, he also seized the opportunity to leave a memory in the hearts of the audience, but this does not mean that Zhang Ruoyun or other actors have poor acting skills, they are also treating the role with care.
The above is the analysis of the two actors through the plot, I don't know which version is the favorite in your heart? You can leave a message in the comment area.
