In the previous article, the author and everyone talked about the artist's role as Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. Today, we talk about a founding marshal, that is, Lin Biao. Due to various problems, the controversy over Lin Biao has always been very large, and we will not talk about this issue. Among the artists who have played Lin Biao, the author identified 4, namely: Li Xuejian, Ma Shaoxin, Yu Liping and Ma Shihong. Teacher Li Xuejian is naturally a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the performance industry, compared with Teacher Ma Shaoxin at that time, what are the differences between Teacher Liping and Teacher Ma Shihong? Today, we're going to talk about that.
First of all, let's talk about Teacher Li Xuejian. Teacher Li Xuejian belongs to the Taishan Beidou-level figures in China's film and television performance industry, and has performed a series of classic characters and film and television dramas, such as Qin Wang Yingzheng, Liangshan Song Jiang, Northeast Zhang Dashuai and so on. It has been more than 40 years since he participated in his first work, "Tianshan Xing" in 1980. Perhaps everyone does not know that teacher Li Xuejian once played Lin Biao in a play.
Due to various reasons, the role of Lin Biao has always been a negative character in a series of performances. In 1980, 26-year-old Li Xuejian played Lin Biao in the drama "The 913 Incident". At that time, the wonderful performance of teacher Li Xuejian was affirmed and accepted by the audience.
At that time, even some viewers were "brought into the plot." Due to the complexity of Lin Biao's role, at that time, young Li Xuejian was not afraid. In order to play Lin Biao well, Li Xuejian worked hard enough. Lin Biao was very thin, his chin was very sharp, Li Xuejian starved himself to lose dozens of pounds, and then deliberately shaved his hair. He also repeatedly imitated Lin Biao's walking posture and accent, studied his habits and learned, and finally successfully shaped the role.
Because this drama was very successful, it has been performed more than 300 times and attracted the attention of many people. After a performance, Liu Shaoqi's wife, Ms. Wang Guangmei, took to the stage to comfort the actors and shake hands with the actors one by one. But when she walked up to Li Xuejian, Ms. Wang Guangmei, who was originally smiling, suddenly put away her smile and did not shake hands with Li Xuejian. Later, teacher Li Xuejian learned that it was his costume and performance that were too realistic, which triggered a series of memories of Ms. Wang Guangmei.
Next, let's talk about Mr. Ma Shaoxin. Before the movie "Armageddon" trilogy, the character of Lin Biao had not appeared on the screen. In the process of preparing for the "Armageddon" series of movies, it is difficult to grasp the character of Lin Biao, which has triggered an extremely fierce debate among the main creators of the crew.
In the face of such a role that has experienced such a big ups and downs in life, the creators have really made difficulties. At that time, Yang Shangkun, who was then vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, made up his mind: When writing Lin Biao, we must seek truth from facts, and we cannot write this person as bad from beginning to end because he is not good. In this way, the character of Lin Biao was determined.
Teacher Ma Shaoxin was originally a drama actor in Jixi City, Heilongjiang, and when preparing for the "Armageddon" series of movies, the Jixi Theater originally recommended Ma Shaoxin to play the role of Chen Bray. However, during the audition, the director found that Ma Shaoxin, whether it was his image or temperament, was more in line with Lin Biao.
Ma Shaoxin's face is thin, the bridge of his nose is straight, his eyes are large and energetic, and Ma Shaoxin's height and appearance are indeed similar to Lin Biao, which undoubtedly adds a stronger credibility to Ma Shaoxin's performance. In order to play Lin Biao well, Ma Shaoxin made a lot of efforts.
Ma Shaoxin consulted a large number of historical documentaries and documents to fully understand Lin Biao's situation at every stage. And also visited some people who knew Lin Biao at that time, learned about Lin Biao's living habits, imitated Lin Biao's walking posture and tone of speech, and spoke at a speed.
Finally, in the "Armageddon" series of movies, Ma Shaoxin successfully played the role of Lin Biao. In the movie, "Lin Biao" has a sharp breath in his eyes, a proud breath in his speech, and his every move seems very calm and unfazed. For example, after learning that Zhangwu had lost the first line, from the look in Ma Shaoxin's eyes, there was anxiety, but there was no panic.
The silent Lin Biao slowly turned around, that kind of temperament that was not angry and arrogant, with some melancholy, making many people think that "Lin Biao" was standing in front of him. The author believes that the unique temperament of the founding leaders and generals is very difficult to imitate.
After watching the "Armageddon" series of movies, the audience recognized Lin Biao, played by Ma Shaoxin, with a very high degree of recognition. It is said that Lin Biao's daughter Lin Doudou once called the film crew to thank Ma Shaoxin.
In 2002, the 67-year-old teacher Ma Shaoxin played the role of a mountain eagle in the TV series "Lin Hai Snow Field". This is the last role played by Mr. Ma Shaoxin. Subsequently, the elderly teacher Ma Shaoxin retired. In fact, in this TV series, the author also saw Tong Yao ,who was only 17 years old at the time (playing a small white pigeon).
Next, let's talk about Mr. Yu Liping. Born in 1963, Yu Liping is an authentic Beijinger. In 2009, in the movie "The Great Cause of The Founding of the People's Republic", Yu Liping played Lin Biao for the first time. Subsequently, he played Lin Biao in a series of film and television dramas such as "Oriental", "Admiral Hong Xuezhi" and "Changed the Human World".
Compared with other artists who play Lin Biao, Yu Liping has two advantages, that is, his height and appearance. It is indeed somewhat similar to Lin Biao at that time. In order to better grasp the role of Lin Biao, Teacher Liping watched a series of documentaries and materials to imitate and learn from Lin Biao's words and deeds.
At the same time, the different performances of Lin Biao at each stage were analyzed and portrayed. Since Lin Biao crossed from the 20s to the 70s, Teacher Yu Liping basically played Lin Biao's middle-aged age. From the series of performances by Teacher Yu Liping, the interpretation of the character of Lin Biao is still very commendable.
Finally, let's talk about Ms. Ma Shihong. In the popular "Crossing the Yalu River", Teacher Ma Shihong played Lin Biao. Seriously, there is one problem that cannot be avoided, and that is height. Teacher Ma Shihong's height is 1.8 meters, which is deficient in this regard.
However, on the whole, Teacher Ma Shihong's control over the role of Lin Biao is still good. Especially the eyes and expressions, which are very well grasped. In short, Lin Biao, played by the 4 artists, has its own advantages, and it is difficult to say who is high and who is low. Through the efforts of the artists, it is invaluable that the founding leaders and generals of the country are vividly presented to everyone.
