Can anyone play Premier Zhou now?
In recent years, domestic dramas with red historical themes have become more and more on track, and "Age of Awakening" and "Armageddon" are relatively successful mainstream dramas.
With the explosion of these works, there are more and more works of this genre, and everyone's expectations for these works are getting higher and higher.
"Avenue Fire", which will be broadcast on CCTV on 9.15, has also attracted everyone's attention, which was originally a new drama that everyone was looking forward to, but unexpectedly, it was spit on because of casting.
Even called by netizens as "the most failed mainstream drama in history", the root cause is from the actor of Premier Zhou in the play.
"Little Fresh Meat" can also play great people?
This year is the 130th anniversary of Chairman Mao's birth, in order to commemorate our great Chairman Mao, "The Great Torch" will meet you on CCTV prime time on 9.15.
As soon as the promotional poster was announced, the director's casting was questioned by many people.
The performance lineup in the play does not have well-known characteristic actors such as Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin, but instead of some unknown "small fresh meat".
Chairman Mao in the play is played by a newcomer actor named Hou Jingjian, although he is not as famous as Wang Jin and Tang Guoqiang, but his acting process in recent years has gradually been recognized by everyone.
Many people call him the successor of "Tang Guoqiang", so everyone is also waiting for Hou Jingjian's casting, but Premier Zhou's actor has been dissatisfied by everyone.
Many netizens even said: "Little fresh meat without the temperament of a great man can also play a great man? ”
In the play, Premier Zhou is played by a young actor named Zhang Bo, in fact, although Zhang Bo is not very famous, he can also be regarded as an experienced actor.
Since his debut, Zhang Bo has starred in many works, and he has appeared in "Three Kingdoms", "Langya List", and "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire".
But most of his works are supporting roles, and now he can get this kind of great role, which is also unexpected.
In fact, this should be a happy thing, but why was it so viciously commented by netizens?
In fact, as early as when the stills of "Avenue Fire" were announced, Wang Bo's image was complained about by everyone.
At the opening ceremony, Wang Bo made up the character's hair, and at the scene he wore a long beard and thick eyebrows, although he was as close to the character as possible, but there was still no trace of a great man on him.
Not only is the shape not similar, his expression in the stills is also very stiff, without the temperament of Premier Zhou, and Wang Bo's deep eyes and thin face are really inconsistent with Premier Zhou's image.
In everyone's hearts, Premier Zhou has always been a polite and elegant person, and his face is also very gentle and close to the people, on the contrary, Wang Bo can see a poor and sour appearance.
His casting really makes people feel that the director is treating the audience as blind, and the image of a great man is not something that can be played by just one person.
In fact, not only does the image not match, Wang Bo's acting skills have also been criticized, in fact, Wang Bo's acting skills in "The Great Qin Empire" are quite passable, but the recent "Ice and Snow Sharp Knife Company" directly exposed his original form.
The Mei Sheng played by Wang Bo in the play reveals the image of a poor and bloodless warrior all over his body.
"Ice and Snow Sharp Knife Company" as the TV series version of "Changjin Lake", Mei Sheng actor Zhu Yawen in the movie version has created this role perfectly, revealing the bravery and perseverance that a warrior should have.
Zhang Bo's Mei Sheng is always obscene, and even exaggerated in order to create a role.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Zhang Bo just doesn't look like a great man, and I really don't know how the director chooses the role.
Look at the strength of the "successive Premier Zhou"
In fact, there are many people who play Premier Zhou, and even many actors have successfully created the image of Premier Zhou's great man, the most famous of which is teacher Wang Tiecheng.
Wang Tiecheng is not only the most successful actor, he is also the first person to play Premier Zhou, and after he acted in the movie "Zhou Enlai" in 1992, people who met him on the street would blurt out and call him "premier".
Before he played Premier Zhou, he had always been a trickster, and his son also suffered from congenital stupidity, and by chance, he auditioned for the drama "Turning Point".
Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded in face-to-face, and later, after finishing his makeup, everyone was directly stunned, because it was so similar, even Premier Zhou's wife burst into tears with excitement when she saw him.
Later, Wang Tiecheng began the 25-year road of "Premier Zhou", and in order to be able to play Premier Zhou well, Wang Tiecheng really put a lot of effort.
He watched the documentary film about Premier Zhou over and over again, and the walls of his home were also plastered with pictures of Premier Zhou.
With accumulated efforts, Wang Tiecheng finally played the role of Premier Zhou to the fullest.
The second is Premier Zhou played by Liu Jin, Liu Jin and Wang Tiecheng are less similar in appearance, but Liu Jin's performance is more delicate, and the image he creates is intended to be "godlike".
The first time he played Premier Zhou was on the TV series "Zunyi Conference", and he could have this opportunity entirely because of Mr. Wang Xizhong, and under his strong recommendation, the crew found Liu Jin.
Liu Jin also opened the door to a new world, and after that, Liu Jin played the role of Premier Zhou in 32 TV series, and later won two awards in "Ode to Yan'an".
The third is teacher Sun Weimin, who mainly plays Premier Zhou in his middle-aged and elderly years, and in his acting career, he has played Zhou Enlai for most of his life.
From the first "Seven Battles and Seven Victories" to "Crossing the Yalu River", he has played Premier Zhou more than seventy times, and he is also the most popular actor among these characteristic actors.
In "Across the Yalu River", his acting skills have also been questioned by many netizens, but he is very humble in the face of these doubts.
He will face the suggestions made by netizens, and then study it himself and figure out Premier Zhou with his heart, but as far as he has appeared in so many times as Premier Zhou, his acting skills are still recognized by everyone.
After talking about the middle-aged and elderly Premier Zhou, the young Premier Zhou also has a good candidate.
The first is Premier Zhou played by Zhu Yawen in "The Great Cause of Army Building", in fact, as early as "Our French Years", Zhu Yawen played this role.
Compared with the first time, Zhu Yawen's performance in "The Great Cause of Building an Army" is more mature, he combines Premier Zhou's handsomeness and elegance, and his performance is also known as "the most heroic version of Premier Zhou".
There is also a new-generation actor named Jin Jingcheng, and the young Zhou Enlai he played in "Rebirth" is simply carved out of a mold with the real Zhou Enlai.
From him, he exudes a vigorous spirit different from other actors, and this unique temperament cannot be performed by others.
epilogue
Even if everyone is now dissatisfied with the casting of "Avenue Fire", it cannot be changed, and the only hope now is that Wang Bo can surprise everyone and play a qualified Premier Zhou.
I also hope that he can seize this hard-won opportunity, and everyone really hopes that this drama can bring surprises to everyone.
In short, casting is important, but the interpretation of the actors is even more important, so let's wait and see!
