In film and television works, special actors are special beings. In order to restore the historical figures, the crew chose actors whose appearance and temperament are similar to the prototype, and played the same role for a long time, which is called "special actor". The early special actors were very fixed, but with the increasingly commercial development of film and television dramas, more and more actors joined the roles assumed by special actors, and the original "special actors" gradually tried to interpret other roles, and the boundary between "special actors" and "non-special actors" became increasingly blurred.
Take Chiang Kai-shek's actors as an example, so far he has 12 main actors, but it is difficult to say who is his special actor.
Today we will take stock of these Chiang Kai-shek actors to see who plays Chiang Kai-shek the most classic and is most recognized by the audience.
01
Sun Feihu
Speaking of Sun Feihu, the audience will think of Chiang Kai-shek. To a certain extent, "Sun Feihu" has been closely linked to "Chiang Kai-shek."
In 1981, Sun Feihu accepted the invitation of Cheng Yin, director of Xi'an Film Studio, to participate in the filming of the movie "Xi'an Incident". Sun Feihu played Chiang Kai-shek in it. Prior to this, Sun Feihu was an actor in the Guizhou Repertory Theatre and had never played Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, many people said that he was like Chiang Kai-shek, but Sun Feihu did not think of himself as. In the 1980s, when historical films with military themes flourished, filmmakers emphasized the serious spirit of "restoration" in the treatment of history, and strived to achieve a degree consistent with the prototype in the interpretation of historical figures. However, the character of Chiang Kai-shek is rather special, and how to shape him is not easy to grasp.
Cheng Yin said to Sun Feihu: Don't make Chiang Kai-shek a comic-like character. Cheng Yin asked Sun Feihu to read more about Chiang Kai-shek. In order to shape Chiang Kai-shek well, Sun Feihu read a large number of materials, including some captured from the Kuomintang and accompanied by pictures of Chiang Kai-shek's various historical periods. This gave him a certain understanding of Chiang Kai-shek. For example, when Chiang Kai-shek was arrested in Lishan, Xi'an, he still straightened his waist and showed a domineering frame, and if he had not seen these historical pictures, Sun Feihu would not have known Chiang Kai-shek's demeanor at that time. It was on the basis of reading Chiang Kai-shek's historical materials that Sun Feihu created the artistic image of Chiang Kai-shek.
"Xi'an Incident" was a turning point in Sun Feihu's acting career. This film also opened the era of cooperation between Gu Yue, Wang Tiecheng and Sun Feihu, three "special actors" in the iron triangle. After the film was released that year, it caused a great response, not only the leaders portrayed by Gu Yue and Wang Tiecheng were unanimously praised by the audience, but Sun Feihu, who played a supporting role, also became famous in one fell swoop. At that time, several historians in the United States who studied Chiang Kai-shek were surprised after watching this film: "It is so similar, even the back of the head is like." In addition to appearance, Chiang Kai-shek, played by Sun Feihu, speaks an authentic Zhejiang dialect, which also gives him a lot of extra points, which is not unrelated to the fact that he is a Shanghainese.
Since the "Xi'an Incident", Sun Feihu has "one shot and no receipt", and he has become a "professional household" played by Chiang Kai-shek, and has played Chiang Kai-shek in more than 30 film and television dramas. Among them, the famous ones are "Weiwei Kunlun", "Founding Ceremony", "Chongqing Negotiations" and so on. Because of his wonderful interpretation, Chiang Kai-shek, who played in the first film, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor in Chinese Film. In other later films, Sun Feihu also won the Best Supporting Actor Award four times for playing Chiang Kai-shek. It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek, played by Sun Feihu, is not only recognized by the audience, but also recognized by experts. It is said that Sun Feihu's interpretation was also recognized by Chiang Kai-shek's descendants.
However, in his later years, Sun Feihu said: "I am not a special actor of Chiang Kai-shek. Even makeup is a big gap with Chiang Kai-shek's looks. At that time, Sun Feihu was already very different from Chiang Kai-shek's appearance due to his fat body shape. Therefore, he voluntarily gave up playing Chiang Kai-shek in film and television dramas. For an old artist, this kind of self-knowledge is invaluable. This actually involves a problem:
Does Chiang Kai-shek, played by Sun Feihu, look like a historical prototype?
To tell the truth, all the impressions of Chiang Kai-shek when I was a teenager came from Sun Feihu, believing that Chiang Kai-shek was Sun Feihu.
However, with the increase of age and the channels through which historical information is obtained, we realize that the difference between Chiang Kai-shek played by Sun Feihu and Chiang Kai-shek in history is still relatively large. The most important point is that Chiang Kai-shek's face is thin, while Sun Feihu's face is relatively rounded. In terms of the degree of reduction of the external image, Sun Feihu is indeed not like Chiang Kai-shek, which he also admits, so although he has played Chiang Kai-shek many times, he does not consider himself to be a special actor of Chiang Kai-shek, and he considers himself to be "an actor who can play a special type".
Since 2000, Sun Feihu has rarely played Chiang Kai-shek in film and television works. He said: "When you are old, people are blessed... Actors are responsible for the audience and for past film and television images. If Sun Feihu, who played Chiang Kai-shek for the first time, has a relatively thin face, as he grows older, the gap between Sun Feihu's external image and Chiang Kai-shek is getting bigger and bigger. The reason why he was recognized by most audiences was, on the one hand, that the audience did not know the true appearance of Chiang Kai-shek at that time, and on the other hand, that the Chiang Kai-shek he portrayed reached a god-like degree. Chiang Kai-shek is a warrior and has a literary side, and Sun Feihu has a better grasp of these two aspects!
02
Du Yulu
Du Yulu is an old drama bone.
With his unique temperament and sophisticated acting skills, he has become one of the hot male stars, and he has played countless heavyweight roles, such as The loyal minister Zhang Tingyu in "Yongzheng Dynasty", the old soldier of Tie Zhengzheng in "Highlighting the Siege", the big bandit in "Northeast Bandits", the secretary Gong Kaichen in "The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee", Bai Mengtang, the old owner of baijia old shop in "The Gate of the Great Mansion", the big corrupt official Mi Rucheng in "The Granary of the World", the wang taiyi in "Divine Doctor Xilaile" and other roles, all of which left a deep impression on the audience.
Du Yulu played Chiang Kai-shek twice.
In 2007, he starred in Chiang Kai-shek in "Red Sun", and in 2008, he played Chiang Kai-shek again in the TV series "Dongfang Hong".
Du Yulu is not a special actor, for the role of Chiang Kai-shek in "Red Sun", Du Yulu was also full of expectations and creative enthusiasm, he strived to interpret a Chiang Kai-shek image that is different from any previous character, so that the audience's interpretation of this character to a new level. Du Yulu deliberately read the "Complete Biography of Chiang Kai-shek" and did not miss a single detail. Because of his body size being fatter than Chiang Kai-shek, Du Yulu began a weight loss plan, which also produced an episode in the middle, because the weight loss plan he formulated was too fierce, so that he fell ill and was hospitalized. It was not until 6 days after the filming of "Red Sun" that Du Yulu was accompanied by his wife to the crew. Just sat in the dressing room the mobile phone rang, is to find him to shoot the film, Du Yulu had to say: "I am now in the "Red Sun" crew, the head has been shaved ..." Because of the late entry into the crew, Du Yulu's first day of filming reached more than 20 scenes. Once in the role, the kind Du Yulu disappeared and was replaced by the image of Chiang Kai-shek who did not smile. Between words and demeanors, a look, a movement, all make people feel chilling. It turns out that Du Yulu's efforts have been successful, and compared with Chiang Kai-shek played by Sun Feihu, Du Yulu's version of Chiang Kai-shek has a more fierce demeanor, interpreting a dictator into three points.
The first time he played Chiang Kai-shek, he achieved unprecedented success, which can be described as "old red" for Du Yulu. So in 2008, when he was invited to play Chiang Kai-shek again, Du Yulu gladly accepted. With the first experience, it is reasonable to say that Du Yulu should be confident, but he did not slack off at all. When he was still filming Tang Guoqiang's scene in the crew, Du Yulu rushed to the crew in advance to familiarize himself with the environment and recite his lines.
The famous director Su Zhou has cooperated with Du Yulu many times, and has a high evaluation of Du Yulu:
I like Du Yulu's performance the most. The first is his personal seriousness about the work, in the filming process has never left the film crew a step, never stringed a scene, he also takes the role extremely seriously, an actor pays as much as he pays.
In order to complete the transcendence of Chiang Kai-shek in "Red Sun", Du Yulu did not dare to slacken off, he filmed during the day, never socialized at night, did not show his face, and studied the script behind closed doors, Du Yulu said: I am old, my memory is not as good as that of young people, and I must have the spirit of "old birds fly first".
Du Yulu believes that Chiang Kai-shek in "Dongfang Hong" is not easy to shape. He was a man with a scheming, a means, and a strong military talent, but in the end he brazenly launched a civil war and lost the people's hearts, the so-called "he who wins the people's hearts wins the world", and the biggest failure in his life is here.
In order to create this character, Du Yulu strictly controls his diet. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek in "Dongfang Hong" is much more haggard and lonely than Chiang Kai-shek in "Red Sun". But Du Yulu completed this shooting very well, and the portrayal of Chiang Kai-shek went one step further.
03
Zhao Hengduo
Compared with Sun Feihu and Du Yulu, Zhao Hengduo's fame is not particularly loud. But he was the first actor to play Chiang Kai-shek in a movie.
In 1978, Zhao Hengduo played Chiang Kai-shek in the movie "Dadu River".
A year later, Zhao Hengduo played Chiang Kai-shek again in the movie "Ji Hongchang". It is quite interesting that although Zhao Hengduo debuted early, he was not as lucky as Sun Feihu, and the Chiang Kai-shek he starred in was not generally recognized by the audience, on the contrary, Chiang Kai-shek played by Sun Feihu was extremely successful, which won him the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor award, and later won this award many times, but Zhao Hengduo never won the Golden Rooster Award, which can not be said to be a regret of his, although he played Chiang Kai-shek more than 50 times.
"Blood Battle Taierzhuang" and "Armageddon" are the main films starring Zhao Hengduo. This allowed the audience to know more about Chiang Kai-shek, who he played. Compared with Sun Feihu's sternness, Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zhao Hengduo, is much softer, especially the contrast between the eyes is obvious. He is characterized by a thin face, which is very similar to Chiang Kai-shek, closer to the prototype of the character than the rounded faces of Sun Feihu and Du Yulu. "Blood Battle Taierzhuang" has caused a sensation, and Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zhao Hengduo, has also been recognized by the audience, which is a round with Sun Feihu.
04
Chen Daoming
Chen Daoming is an old drama bone.
He's not a special actor.
But also twice played Chiang Kai-shek.
The first time was in the Long March in 2000.
At that time, Chen Daoming was praised as "slender in stature, with a shiny forehead, a tight brow, and droopy eyelids, which is quite similar to Chiang Kai-shek in historical records."
The second time was in 2012, playing Chiang Kai-shek in the movie "1942".
When Feng Xiaogang invited Chen Daoming to play Chiang Kai-shek, his first reaction was to refuse.
In Chen Daoming's view, if an actor plays particularly well, other characters will be affected in the future, and the so-called deep into the hearts of the people is also. Chiang Kai-shek is a special character, a real figure in history, not a fiction. People have a certain impression of Chiang Kai-shek, and then put this impression on you. If you act well, you are restoring that impression and making that impression even more profound. At this time, if you play other characters, people will say that you play "like Chiang Kai-shek." This is from a professional point of view.
As an old actor, Chen Daoming's understanding is very professional. After all, he is not a special actor, and playing such a special character is also afraid of binding the image.
But Feng Xiaogang repeatedly asked. Chen Daoming said: You first find other actors, and if you really can't find them, I will play Chiang Kai-shek again. However, I played Chiang Kai-shek from the perspective of friendship, not out of professionalism, but out of friendship to help. From the perspective of an actor's profession, I can't act. Feng Xiaogang finally looked around and felt that he had not found what he hoped for, so Chen Daoming played Chiang Kai-shek.
In "1942", Chen Daoming's scene was filmed for only 10 days. It's a very depressing film. Therefore, when someone asked him how he felt about playing Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Daoming said: This is a creative process, so it is not about "repression" and "enjoyment", and it is a bit contrived to talk about "enjoyment" in creation.
Chen Daoming's portrayal of Chiang Kai-shek is remarkable, but perhaps the shortcoming is that his performance is too literary and lacks the domineering spirit of Chiang Kai-shek as a warrior. After Sun Feihu saw Chen Daoming's performance, he also thought that his performance was relatively weak, like an intellectual, and lacked domineering. For Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zhao Hengduo, Sun Feihu also commented on it this way, believing that he was weak and domineering.
05
Gemme
Compared with Chen Daoming, Zhao Hengduo, Du Yulu and other famous actors, Gaimei's name is unknown. He was born in Heze, Shandong Province, to an ordinary peasant family, and his family did not engage in acting. After graduating from Shandong Normal College, Gai Mei joined the Kaifeng Repertory Theatre by learning the skills of Peking Opera in the county town as a teenager. Speaking of playing the role of Chiang Kai-shek, Gai mei said: This is purely accidental.
When he was in the drama theater, once an old entertainer said to him: "You didn't find that you look particularly like Chiang Kai-shek?" The old artist suggested that Gai Mei could study the character of Chiang Kai-shek more and engage in his special actor in the future. At that time, Gaimei was not interested in this suggestion, and he had resistance to a character like Chiang Kai-shek from the bottom of his heart, and found it difficult to accept, let alone perform. However, the old artist said that the artistic image and the historical image are not the same thing, and Gaimei suddenly realized that he accepted the old artist's suggestion.
In order to play Chiang Kai-shek, Gai mei read a lot of books about Chiang Kai-shek. Learn about his life and figure out his character. In the course of touring with the troupe, Gai mei will also play Chiang Kai-shek in language programs. In 1998, when Gaimei participated in the star competition program "Happy 100" of Southeast Satellite TV, he achieved good results. This gave me a certain confidence in playing Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1999, a film and television company in Beijing recruited special actors, and Gai Mei went away. At that time, the staff gave him a script and asked him to perform live. However, Gai mei, who came from the drama stage, suffered a big loss, and the director commented after watching his performance: "Start a model.". Qifan is a Peking Opera term, which means that the state of preparation before the performance is also the shelf. Suddenly changing the old habits of many years is not an easy task for Gaimei. Fortunately, there was a teacher at the time who said that he could teach the art of Film and Television Performance.
This began Gai mei's career as Chiang Kai-shek.
In order to play the role well, Gaimei always wanted to improve her performance level, combining the plot of the script with real life. Strive to shape Chiang Kai-shek according to the scene of life. Gaimei's family is in the countryside, and he often performs in the wheat fields with few people, and people who don't know him think he is a madman.
So far, Gai Mei has played Chiang Kai-shek in more than a dozen film and television dramas. After years of polishing, Gai Mei has played Chiang Kai-shek as a wonderful portrait. The main thing is that the external image of Gaimei is very similar to chiang kai-shek in history, and in this regard alone, gaimei's conditions are more suitable for playing Chiang Kai-shek than Sun Feihu, Du Yulu, and Zhao Hengduo. His efforts were eventually recognized by the film and television industry.
06
Xu Daolin
Xu Daolin has played Chiang Kai-shek more than 50 times. More times than Sun Feihu played Chiang Kai-shek. In the film and television circle, Xu Daolin is called "Chiang Kai-shek without makeup", because his appearance is very similar to Chiang Kai-shek, and it is very natural to perform between his hands and feet.
The successful shaping of any character is not the result of an overnight occurrence, nor is it achieved solely by virtue of the similarity of appearance. The same is true of Xu Daolin, who has embarked on the path of a special actor since he first played Chiang Kai-shek in "Very Big President" in 1986. In order to create a good artistic image of Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Daolin collected a large number of materials to read Chiang Kai-shek and studied it from the aspects of history, personality, pictures, and even blood type. Xu Daolin's efforts laid the foundation for him to outstandingly shape the image of Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1998, when filming the TV series "The Decisive Battle of China's Destiny", Xu Daolin was 58 years old. In order to shape Chiang Kai-shek's imagination, Xu Daolin got up early on the set every day and was greedy, and when the most nervous filming was, Xu Daolin only slept three or four hours a day, and the overloaded workload made him have gallstone attacks and had to live in the hospital for a week. In order not to delay filming, every morning during his hospitalization, he was picked up by the crew to shoot a scene, and then returned to the hospital for treatment in the evening. This professionalism eventually allowed Xu Daolin to successfully complete the shaping of Chiang Kai-shek.
Among Chiang Kai-shek's many special actors, Xu Daolin is a very outstanding one. Compared with Gaimei, Xu Daolin's performance is more natural and smooth.
07
Zhang Guoli
Zhang Guoli is a big name in the film and television circle. His life does not need to be introduced, his wife is Deng Jie, the actor of Wang Xifeng in 87 "Dream of the Red Chamber". When Deng Jie became popular, Zhang Guoli was still unknown. After Deng Jie withdrew from the film and television industry, Zhang Guoli gradually became famous.
In the audience's impression, Zhang Guoli's more famous roles are Kangxi in "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", and Ji Xiaolan in "Copper Tooth and Iron Tooth Ji Xiaolan". Zhang Guoli's outstanding performance makes the audience remember him. Like Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli is not a special actor.
In 2009, Zhang Guoli starred as Chiang Kai-shek in the movie "The Great Undertaking of the Founding of the People's Republic".
For himself to play this role, Zhang Guoli is of course self-aware. When director Han Sanping asked him to play Chiang Kai-shek, he reacted the same as Chen Daoming's original reaction, which was also a resignation. Because he felt that his image was too far behind Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek is thin in size and face, but Zhang Guoli is large and has a rounded face, how can he play Chiang Kai-shek? But after much thought, Zhang Guoli accepted the role. In order to be close to Chiang Kai-shek's size, Zhang Guoli only ate one meal a day, in addition to drinking more water, that is, eating a little melon, fruit and vegetables, sometimes hungry and dizzy, half a month, he lost from 146 pounds to 135 pounds.
The costumes of special actors themselves take a long time, and for non-special actors like Zhang Guoguo, it takes 4 hours to disguise Chiang Kai-shek's costumes. Before shooting, you also have to pad your nose and wear braces, which is naturally very hard. But when the film began, the crew commented on Zhang Guoli: "Another Chiang Kai-shek was born. Wu Junmei, who played Song Meiling in "The Great Undertaking of the Founding of the People's Republic", spoke highly of Zhang Guoli, praising his walking back as "I have shocked, and I must 'recognize' this Chiang Kai-shek." It can be seen that Zhang Guoguo's version of Chiang Kai-shek is quite OK.
"The Great Undertaking of Founding the People's Republic" is Zhang Guoli's first time playing Chiang Kai-shek. Since this is an "all-star" film, most of the actors are made up of stars, so it is understandable that non-special actors play Chiang Kai-shek. Afterwards, when an audience commented on the good performance of Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zhang Guoguo, Zhang Guoli said: "I don't think it is necessary anymore." He said: He does not want to play Chiang Kai-shek again.
It can be seen that he is still self-aware of the Chiang Kai-shek he plays.
08
Ma Xiaowei
Ma Xiaowei debuted very early and was already a well-known actor in the Shanghai Film Studio in the 1980s. He has starred in many movies: "Love of the Sea", "Xiyingmen", "Return of the Swallow", "On the Side of the Water" and so on. His play path is very broad, workers, peasants, intellectuals, soldiers, Ma Xiaowei can play. For a period of time, Ma Xiaowei was on a par with Tang Guoqiang, calling it "Tang Guoqiang in the north and Ma Xiaowei in the south." "
Ma Xiaowei first starred in Chiang Kai-shek in "Ode to Yan'an".
At that time, the director found Ma Xiaowei and asked him to play the role of Zhang Wentian. The reason is that he played Zhang Wentian in the TV series "Zhang Wentian and Liu Ying". But Ma Xiaowei was an actor who did not want to repeat himself, so he proposed to play Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, the crew did not agree, saying that Ma Xiaowei, a cream boy, played Chiang Kai-shek, which was not like at all. But the director Wang Chaozhu still let him wear makeup, and took 3 photos, and Put them together with Chiang Kai-shek's photos for everyone to see, and many people could not distinguish between true and false. Afterwards, Ma Xiaowei revealed the mystery: Chiang Kai-shek in these three photos was all made up by Ma Xiaowei. He said: I deceived this Chiang Kai-shek.
Starting from "Ode to Yan'an", Ma Xiaowei has played Chiang Kai-shek in various film and television dramas more than 20 times, and later became a "professional household of Chiang Kai-shek." "
Compared with chiang kai-shek in history, Ma Xiaowei's appearance is not the most similar, his face is as round as Zhang Guoli, and his figure is not as slim as Chiang Kai-shek. The reason why Ma Xiaowei's version of Chiang Kai-shek is recognized by the audience may be that the gods are greater than the shapes. This also shows a problem, with the development of film and television dramas, specific characters in history have not particularly pursued the shape of actors, but have paid more attention to the inside. Because the audience has an accurate understanding of the appearance of historical figures, no matter how the actors wear makeup, they cannot fully restore the historical figures, so the audience pays more attention to whether an actor can create a new meaning to the historical figures, which is an important criterion.
09
Wang Jinsong
The TV series "Armageddon" is currently airing, and the wonderful interpretations of the actors have been generally praised by the audience.
Chairman Mao is played by Tang Guoqiang, and played by Young Actor Wang Jinsong.
In the 1990s, the movie "Armageddon" also caused great repercussions across the country. At that time, it was Gu Yue who played Chairman Mao, and It was Zhao Hengduo who played Chiang Kai-shek. Tang Guoqiang and Gu Yue have been well known to the audience, and their role as Chairman Mao is widely recognized by the audience. Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zhao Hengduo, was also well received. However, young actor Wang Jinsong is a "novice" who plays Chiang Kai-shek, and before starring in "Armageddon", Wang Jinsong played Chiang Kai-shek in the TV series "Glory and Dreams", which is his second time to play Chiang Kai-shek.
Acting skills aside, Wang Jinsong's external image is more similar to Chiang Kai-shek's. We can look at the previous actors, whether it is Sun Feihu or Du Yulu, or Zhang Guoli or Ma Xiaowei, they have a common feature: they are "fatter" than Chiang Kai-shek, so if you want to achieve Chiang Kai-shek's ideal state, you must lose weight! But even losing weight is far from Chiang Kai-shek's image.
But Wang Jinsong is different, both in stature and face shape, more potential to play Chiang Kai-shek than Sun Feihu and Ma Xiaowei and others.
Facts have proved that Chiang Kai-shek, played by Wang Jinsong, is still remarkable. The audience generally gave him praise. Compared with the previous actors, Wang Jinsong vividly interpreted Chiang Kai-shek's sense of powerlessness, frustration, and failure during the "Great Armageddon" period. Perhaps the only regret is that Wang Jinsong's version of Chiang Kai-shek is still too soft and lacks the domineering spirit of a warrior. In particular, Wang Jinsong's eyes are really too soft, and even look a little confused, if his eyes are sharper, the effect will definitely be better!
10
By Liping
Among the young actors, Yu Liping is a very outstanding one. He has a strong character malleability, can play both modern characters and ancient characters, especially for the characters of the 20s and 30s is even better, so he is known as "professional figures in the 20s and 30s." "
What is valuable is that Yu Liping is also the actor of Lin Biao, who has played the image of Lin Biao in "Liberation", "Oriental" and "The Great Cause of The Founding of the People's Republic", which has been widely praised by the audience. In the TV series "The Young Marshal", Yu Liping played another extremely challenging character: Chiang Kai-shek!
Lin Biao and Chiang Kai-shek, the contrast between these two characters is a bit large. Accustomed to lin biao, who he played, he had both expectations and worries about his role of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek in "The Young Marshal", the interception time point is before and after the "Xi'an Incident", at this time Chiang Kai-shek has been detained by Zhang Xueliang, how to express Chiang Kai-shek's mental journey at this time is a very test of the actor's level. For his own performance, Yu Liping said: "The space is limited, how effective it is, it remains to be judged by the audience!" However, it can be seen from the stills that the Lipin version of Chiang Kai-shek is not similar to the prototype, and compared with the previous actors, his interpretation is even mediocre, and an old problem is that it lacks domineering, giving people a feeling of being unable to hold the scene.
11
Zheng Yu
Zheng Yu played Chiang Kai-shek in the TV series "Xi'an Incident". The drama is played by "Chairman Mao's professional household" Tang Guoqiang as Chairman Mao, and Chiang Kai-shek chose Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu played Chiang Kai-shek with a lot of trouble. At that time, the crew also chose several actors played by Chiang Kai-shek, but in the end, because of the actors and directors, those actors did not play. As an old actor, Zheng Yu has starred in many film and television dramas, and has been widely praised by the audience for his superb acting skills, because he is more similar to Chiang Kai-shek, so the director finally chose Zheng Yu to play Chiang Kai-shek.
Zheng Yu portrays a sinister Chiang Kai-shek with a sinister personality and a knife hidden in his smile. In order to play this role well, he carefully studied the script, consulted a lot of materials, studied the characters, and finally shaped Chiang Kai-shek's hesitant, fickle, stubborn and unobtrusive character. Zheng Yu believes that Chiang Kai-shek's personality is irritable and straightforward, the city government is extremely deep, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, which is a contradiction.
Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zheng Yu, was finally praised by the audience, saying: "Teacher Zheng Yu acted very well, playing the stubborn and calculating Chiang Kai-shek too much. "
On the whole, regardless of appearance, temperament or demeanor, Chiang Kai-shek, played by Zheng Yu, is not bad, and he can't pick out too many slots!
12
Wu Jing'an
Wu Jing'an is an excellent actor, playing a farmer and a soldier in many film and television dramas, once known as "the world's first farmer", loved by the audience.
He played Chiang Kai-shek three times, first in the 2002 TV series Zhang Xueliang, second in the Eighth Route Army, and third in The Leader 1935.
Before playing Chiang Kai-shek, Wu Jing'an had no experience playing a historical figure. But his friends have told him many times that Chiang Kai-shek has a photo of Wu Jing'an in the 30s that is very similar to Wu Jing'an, and later after Wu Jing'an saw that kind of photo, he also felt very similar, and he had an impulse in his heart to play Chiang Kai-shek. So at that time, he always wondered, why didn't the director come to him to play Chiang Kai-shek?
However, just one photo looks similar is not enough. Wu Jing'an actually knew that there was still a big gap between his appearance and Chiang Kai-shek.com. Therefore, when the "Zhang Xueliang" crew came to Wu Jing'an to play Chiang Kai-shek, Wu Jing'an was also doing his best to show the shortcomings of Chiang Kai-shek's appearance as he understood, and he tried his best to get closer to Chiang Kai-shek from temperament and use his acting skills to make up for the deficiencies.
How, do you see the portrait of Chiang Kai-shek played by Wu Jing'an?
epilogue
Among Chiang Kai-shek's actors, most of them are not "special actors", such as Sun Feihu, who also claims to be "different" from Chiang Kai-shek. As for Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoguo, Wu Jing'an and others, they are more "cameos". This also reflects a trend: for the interpretation of specific historical figures, there is now more emphasis on god-likeness than shape-likeness. The appearance of Chiang Kai-shek at different ages is also different, and some actors are suitable for playing young people, some are suitable for playing middle age, and some are suitable for playing old age. But no matter what, as long as the audience can recognize it, it is successful.
