Many people know that China was once invaded by Japan, and countless people died tragically at the hands of Japanese soldiers, which is a shame for the Chinese nation and is worth remembering by every Chinese. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many anti-Japanese movies or TV series were filmed in China, such as "Guerrilla Warfare on the Plains" and "King Kong in Flames" and other dramas.
After entering the 21st century, with the development of movies and television dramas, dozens or even hundreds of anti-Japanese dramas were broadcast on television every year, and later evolved into anti-Japanese dramas. Many fans are so disgusted to see those anti-Japanese dramas, especially the Japanese devils played in those anti-Japanese dramas give fans a very false impression, not at all like the fierce Japanese soldiers who said from my grandfather's generation.
First, the image of the bad guy
However, there are still many local actors who play Japanese soldiers who are very similar, and even fans really think of this Japanese actor as Japanese. Fang Hua is one of them, originally named Fang Dehai, born in Dalian in 1925, he began to appear in movies in 1947. In fact, When Fang Hua was a child, he did not choose to be an actor, but chose to be a businessman. When he was a child, his family was poor, and he only wanted to do a small business to improve his poor family.
He was admitted to the business school to study there, and after graduation he also did a little business, but it was not long before he stopped working, and later he was introduced to the photography department of the Manchurian Society to work as a small worker. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the actors of the stage drama were selecting new people to cultivate, and at that time, Fang Hua did not understand anything, and he was selected in a vacuum.
He had never studied acting, so he struggled, but under the cultivation of the stage teacher, he gradually learned to act. Debut film "Songhua River" starred in a Japanese ghost, this drama completely made Fang Hua a ghost professional household, and later many dramas needed Fang Hua to play a Japanese ghost officer, his image is too much like a Japanese, so many people regard Fang Hua as a real Japanese.
The second is Lu Peng, remember the role of Kazuki Yamamoto in "Bright Sword"? Lu Peng is one of the few highly educated actors in the entertainment industry, he graduated from the 02-level acting department, and later studied for a doctorate at the Film School of Beijing Normal University, and is very proficient in Japanese. He played the role of Yamamoto very realistically, especially the fierce side, and because of this role, many viewers really regarded him as Japanese.
After this, he appeared in many anti-Japanese movies and TV series such as "The Big Knife Cuts the Heads of the Devils", and the director felt that Lu Peng's acting skills were really very good, so he asked the screenwriter to add drama to Lu Peng, so in many plays, the audience saw that the officer played by Lu Peng was never dead.
The third Lu Fangsheng, "The Number That Never Erases" many people must have seen, Lu Fangsheng played the Role of the Japanese Division Commander Yamashita Fengwu. His excellent performance made many viewers wonder if he was a real Japanese, and if not, why did he speak Japanese so well. Lu Fangsheng was born in Shanghai and later went to Japan to study and work in Japan. He never wanted to be an actor, but it was good to be an urban white-collar worker.
Later, by chance, he returned to China and insisted on going to the Beijing Theater Academy, although he was a little older, he was studying very seriously, knowing that he was a classmate of Huang Bo at that time. After graduating, he did not have any drama until 2011, when he became famous for playing the role of the head of the Japanese regiment in "The Indelible Horn".
2. Very proficient in Japanese
Lu Fangsheng, who is famous, has also starred in many TV series and movies, although he has not been a big hit, but it can also be regarded as satisfying his dream of becoming an actor. The fourth Ma Weijun, many people have seen the role of the Japanese soldier played by Ma Weijun in the snow leopard, in fact, this actor began to star in many TV series and movies as early as the eighties, but they are some supporting roles, there is not much improvement, Ma Weijun is not discouraged, as long as there is a scene he will take over the role, until 2008 "China Brothers Company" "My brother is called Shunshun" in the wonderful performance, so that many viewers are familiar with him.
Ma Weijun can speak fluent Japanese, he consulted a lot of historical materials before the performance, very good research on the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, coupled with superb acting skills, the director is very satisfied with his role as a Japanese officer. However, he did not accept the anti-Japanese drama, which would only smear his acting skills, after all, in his opinion, the anti-Japanese drama was not real enough.
The fifth Yang Qingwen, who was born in Chengde, Hebei Province in 1961, made a living by running trucks in the 1980s, when he bought a radio, listened to Japanese channels, and learned a lot of Japanese. Learning Japanese with the radio certainly could not satisfy Yang Qing's enthusiasm for literary Japanese, so through more than two years, he had mastered Japanese and was able to communicate with Japanese people normally.
He bought the van and changed it to a taxi, originally wanting to pull a Japanese person to communicate, but he still didn't meet it. Soon under the introduction of a friend, he went to Hengdian to run the dragon set, where he played some small roles, until 2003 he entered the crew of "Bright Sword", when Yang Qingwen knew Japanese, the director asked him to play the role of "Kuroshima Morita", and it was because of this role that Yang Qingwen became famous.
Since then, he has played roles in dramas such as "Snow Leopard" and "Indelible Fan", especially Yang Qingwen's slightly sinister face and fluent Japanese, so that many fans think that he is a Japanese artist who came to China to develop.
Three, into the wood three points
The sixth Wang Xiaozhong, Wang Xiaozhong was born in 1928 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, he was admitted to the Fengtian Railway Academy in his early years, after graduation he stayed in the railway work, after liberation he was arranged to the Northeast Military Region Literary and Labor Troupe, at first he did not work as a drama actor, but in it, and then the director felt that he was very good, so he asked him to study acting.
Wang Xiaozhong just started to play some ordinary people who were bullied by ghosts, and the director always felt that Wang Xiaozhong did not look like the image of an ordinary person. On the contrary, it is very good to play the Japanese. In the early years, when Wang Xiaozhong went to school, his teachers were Japanese, and he also saw many retired Japanese soldiers, although they took off their Japanese military uniforms, they were still rude and unreasonable, and they used force to solve problems at every turn.
When he played the Japanese, he thought of the Japanese soldiers who retired from the military, so he played three points. Since "Growing Up in Battle", he has become a professional ghost, and in many black film films, he has played a fierce image of the Japanese. These bad characters make ordinary people grit their teeth so fiercely that he will meet children of acquaintances on the street who say that he is a "Japanese devil"
4. Summary
In addition to these six actors, there are actually many actors who have been very successful in playing Japanese devils. But many people don't understand that it is not easy to play a villain role well. Think about how ferocious the Japanese soldiers were, and in the play, it is not possible to solve the problem by pretending to perform that murderous image.
Now there are fewer and fewer anti-Japanese dramas, more anti-Japanese dramas are beginning to go on the right track, and many small fresh meats also want to try to play the role of villains, but most of them are not very good. For this reason, directors still hope that those old actors will play these villain roles, after all, classic dramas need classic actors to play.
