Zhang Zhijian played Dong Jianchang again: I was reluctant to let this role fall aside
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent land of China from 1925 to 1949, "The Right Way in the World is vicissitudes" depicts the entanglement of fate and life experiences of five young people from the Yang and Qu families and a group of Huangpu classmates who parted ways due to different beliefs, joined the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang respectively, and embarked on a special journey.
The character image is new and vivid, rather than "facial", which is a big reason why "The Right Way in the World is vicissitudes" is loved by the audience. Tung Chee-chang, played by the famous actor Zhang Zhijian, is one of the most talked about characters in the play. Dong Jianchang started from a peddler who sold flower cloth to become a veteran figure of the National Revolution, and repeatedly changed camps in the changeable situation. He finally recognized the direction of history, responded to the call of the Chinese Communist Party, and led his troops in a peaceful uprising. Dong Jianchang's sentence "One of your sister's hairs can pull my eight military horses" has touched countless female audiences.
After 12 years, in the drama version of "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", Zhang Zhijian will once again play the role of Dong Jianchang, a wise and cunning and amorous character. Zhang Zhijian said that Dong Jianchang is the most beloved role in his acting career so far, and after receiving the invitation of the drama "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", he was reluctant to let this role fall by the wayside, considered it again and again, and decided to personally fight.
In addition, former TV series actors Huang Pinyuan and Shi Wenzhong will also play the role of the original drama again in the drama version.
"The steel knife returns to the steel knife, and the classmates return to the classmates", this is the classic line left by Fan Xiliang, played by Huang Pinyuan, which will be retained in the drama version. This tough guy with a rough appearance has a rich inner world, how will Huang Pinyuan interpret it on the drama stage? Exciting.
Chu Cai, played by Shi Wenzhong, is a tragic and foolish character. After many years in the film and television industry, it was the first time for Shi Wenzhong to be on the drama stage, and this time he still played Chu Cai. From the TV screen to the theater stage, Shi Wenzhong himself said that he was very much looking forward to it and hoped to meet the audience at the theater as soon as possible.
After "Li Dazhao" challenged "Yang Liqing", Zhang Tong re-played the revolutionary youth
In addition to the starlight of the original actors, the powerful Caste gathered in the drama "The Right Way in the World is vicissitudes" should not be underestimated. Zhang Tong, Niu Piao, Wang Jinsong, Shi Jingming, and Zeng Li have joined in, striving to create the strongest lineup of star dramas this year.
In the first half of this year, young actor Zhang Tong successively played the role of "Li Dazhao" in two TV series, "The Age of Awakening" and "Glory and Dreams". In the drama "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", Zhang Tong will play the role of Yang Liqing.
Yang Liqing is the third eldest of the Yang family, and was once a rebellious young man with a stubborn and sense of justice. After years of arduous fighting, he gradually grew into an excellent revolutionary soldier with integrity, sincerity and optimism. Yang Liqing's characters are clearly layered, the time span is large, and there are also many emotional scenes interspersed, which is a test of acting skills. On the drama stage, Zhang Tong will play the role of Yang Liqing in a new way.
As the best actress among the Mesozoic generation, Zeng Li has been brave in different fields in recent years. Walking off the competition field of the second season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", this time she will stand on the stage of the drama and play Zhang Tong's sister Yang Lihua in the play. Yang Lihua is one of the few female main characters in the play, not only the second sister who loves her brother Yang Liqing the most, but also the partner who makes Tung Jianchang obsessed with her all her life.
Zeng Li even admitted that he pushed off a lot of drama contracts for rehearsing this drama: "This drama is too attractive to me, and it can make me meet me and I don't want to miss it."
Niu Piao and Shi Jingming are both veteran actors on the drama stage. Niu Piao will play the role of Yang Tinghe, Yang's father, in the drama "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes". Niu Piao said bluntly that the first thing to do when entering the group was to forget the TV series version and make a pure drama. Shi Jingming has been deeply involved in the film and television circle in recent years, and he will return to the drama stage after more than ten years of separation with "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", "When you meet such a good script and can work with so many powerful peers, it is time to come back!" ”
Wang Jinsong has created many classic roles in many TV series in recent years. This time, he will join the drama "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" as an actor in the Nanjing Repertory Theatre, playing the important role of Qu En.
Nanjing Repertory Theatre was founded in 1960 and has grown into a new force on the Chinese drama stage. It is reported that in order to rehearse the drama "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", the Nanjing Repertory Theatre sent the strongest cast of the troupe to form a performance team.
