The TV series "Armageddon" has now been fully completed, is in post-production, and the casting of the main role has also surfaced.
Lucci
Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin and Guo Lianwen once again led the lineup of great people.
In addition, Lu Qi played Deng Xiaoping again after a gap of 30 years, Guo Guangping played Su Yu, Liu Zhibing played Liu Bocheng, Gu Wei played Chen Yi, and Yu Hewei took on the heavy responsibility of playing Lin Biao.
Wang Jinsong
The casting of the main role of the Kuomintang has also been announced, and Chiang Kai-shek will be played by actor Wang Jinsong, who previously played Chiang Kai-shek in the TV series "Glory and Dreams";
Song Meiling is played by actor Liu Tao, and Chiang Ching-kuo is played by He Shengming;
As a senior general of the Nationalist army and a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, Du Yuming is played by actor Li Qiang.
1. The tragic "fire captain"
As we all know, the weight of Du Yuming's role in "Armageddon" is comparable to Lin Biao and Su Yu.
He was the first of the Kuomintang generals to advocate a great armageddon with our army, but he was a tragic hero.
Li Qiang plays Du Yuming
In the Liaoshen Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming twice played the role of "firefighting captain"; he was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, but he was temporarily called by Chiang Kai-shek to the northeast to save the scene in the middle of the way, and the result ended in failure; he returned to the Huaihai battlefield to save the scene, failed again, and Yu Chen Guanzhuang was captured, ending his experience of "holding back" the rescue scene.
In fact, Du Yuming in history was a general with very high military attainments, especially during the War of Resistance Against Japan, who made outstanding contributions and was outstanding within the Kuomintang army, otherwise he would not have been repeatedly used by Chiang Kai-shek as a firefighting captain.
But following Chiang Kai-shek doomed him to a tragic end.
Xiao Rongsheng once played Du Yuming

However, relatively speaking, Du Yuming was lucky, after all, he was not killed in the battlefield like Qiu Qingquan and Huang Baitao. After the founding of New China, he also received amnesty as one of the first war criminals and was buried in Babaoshan after his death.
2. The positive image of a rare national army general
In film and television works, the role of Du Yuming has also always appeared as a "positive image", which is also one of the few Roles of The Kuomintang Generals who can get "affirmation" in mainland film and television works, comparable to Li Zongren in the old movie "Blood Battle Taierzhuang".
Xu Zhengyun plays Du Yuming
In the previous classic film "The Battle of Huaihai" of bayi factory, Du Yuming actually appeared as a "positive image", especially the scene where Du Yuming was captured did not appear, which also gave him enough respect.
In addition, in the movie "Armageddon", actor Xu Zhengyun played the role of Du Yuming. On the appearance of appearance, actor Xu Zhengyun is higher than Du Yuming, if you must carefully investigate why you find such a handsome actor to play Du Yuming, this is probably also related to the "positive" role positioning of Du Yuming in the film.
Moreover, Du Yuming, played by Xu Zhengyun, did not show the "yellow and thin face and a sick face" of the role, but on the contrary, he was too strong, too energetic, and lacked the haggardness of a long-term sick person, which is the regret of this version of Du Yuming.
3. The key factor in the success of the TV drama version of "Armageddon"
In the TV drama version of "Armageddon", actor Li Qiang played the role of Du Yuming.
Actor Li Qiang
Judging from the above stills, the TV drama version of "Armageddon" seems to focus on Du Yuming's thoughtful and deep side of the city government, but its tragic side should also be portrayed.
There are many actors named "Li Qiang" in the show business circle, the actor who played the role of "Ximen Qing" in the old version of "Water Margin" is called Li Qiang, and the actor who played "Du Yuming" in this version of "Armageddon" is also called Li Qiang.
Actor Li Qiang has played the role of "villain" in "Aiming" and "Hidden and Great", and Tang Siyuan in "Aiming" hides cunning in swing;
Zhong Baiming in "Hidden and Great" is wrapped in hypocrisy and fierceness.
Actor Li Qiang starred in many film and television works, he has been active on the drama stage for many years, his basic skills are solid, and he has also won the famous "Tian Han Performance Award".
The importance of Du Yuming's role in the TV series "Armageddon" is beyond doubt, and shaping this role is also a key factor in the success of the show. It is believed that actor Li Qiang can successfully control this important role and add icing on the cake to the TV series version of "Armageddon".

In addition, other Kuomintang general actors in the TV series "Armageddon" have also been released, actor Liu Bin plays Liu Zhi, actor Huo Qing plays Gu Zhutong, actor Xu Guangyu plays Qiu Qingquan, and actor Zhao Liang plays Wei Lihuang.
Of course, the TV drama version of "Armageddon" can not be compared with the previous film version in the choice of actors of many national army generals, after all, the crew was selected nationwide and found the best special actors, and now the TV drama version of "Armageddon" can only "simplify everything" because the shooting cycle is too short, sophistication and other issues. Here, I hope that the actors can deeply understand the role, the shape is not enough, but the god is like.
