Preface
Have we ever thought that instead of saying that most netizens are "hi skin", it is better to say that they are actually "sad".
Why do those actors who work hard to perform always like to swarm for collective output.
Is it really because of flaws in acting? In fact, behind the verbosity and complaints, there is more awe of the heroes of that period of history.
So, what kind of evaluation will Liu Chenglin's version of Mao Zedong arouse this time?
The countenance of a great man is not to be desecrated
When netizens learned that Liu Chenglin would play Mao Zedong in his youth in the new drama "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", their first reaction was surprise.
This is not a question of Liu Chenglin's acting skills, but an incomparable loss in his heart after seeing the gap between him and the image of Mao Zedong in his impression.
Indeed, Liu Chenglin, who has deep facial features, has a temperament that is at odds with the sunny Mao Zedong.
Coupled with the double eyelids with obvious traces of medical beauty, it is like desecrating the face of a great man.
"It's really hard for me to accept, how could this actor be chosen to play Chairman Mao?" netizen A sighed, "It's too different, from facial features to temperament!"
"Really, it doesn't fit the image I had in mind at all. Netizen B echoed, "I can't bear to look at it directly, it's blaspheming the great man in my heart." ”
Such comments appear on many forums.
For a time, doubts about Liu Chenglin came and went.
However, none of these comments were taken on board by the crew.
They think that Liu Chenglin has the strength to deduce, and his appearance does not mean that he has failed to deduce.
So, when the series was officially broadcast, as netizens expected, even if Liu Chenglin worked hard, he couldn't impress the audience who remembered Mao Zedong's image deeply.
"I still support Wang Renjun's image of Mao Zedong at the beginning, this is simply unwatchable!" A netizen sighed on the night the series aired.
Wang Renjun is the actor who played Mao Zedong in "Ask the Boundless" before.
Although everyone thought that his temperament was weak at the time, compared with Liu Chenglin, Wang Renjun's temperament was closer.
"I think so too!" another netizen immediately replied, "Liu Chenglin is really not like it, I still accepted Wang Renjun's version before." ”
"Haha, it seems that we should not be too strict about appearance. The first netizen replied.
Through these comments, we seem to see that when faced with their inner hero image, everyone has a certain persistence.
Any deviation is unacceptable.
Therefore, it may be very difficult for Liu Chenglin to achieve self-breakthrough through this interpretation.
Because under the established impression, the knot in the hearts of netizens cannot be simply moved.
This also makes people think that if you want to play a great man who is loved by the people, the actor himself must be cautious and devote himself wholeheartedly, otherwise he will not only desecrate the great image, but also be ridiculed by the group!
The acting skills that are too strong are unconvincing
In addition to his nondescript appearance, Liu Chenglin's exaggerated acting skills in the play have also been complained about countless times.
Specifically, when he expresses the emotions of his characters, he always uses too much force on his facial features.
When you are angry, your eyebrows are twisted, and when you are angry, you directly stare and grin.
"I think Liu Chenglin's performance is very contrived and not natural at all. ”
A drama critic Zhao Si sighed, "His various exaggerated expressions are like saying to the audience, 'Look how realistic my acting is', but it is difficult to resonate." ”
Indeed, this kind of performance makes the audience unable to believe it.
always feels like Liu Chenglin is telling everyone, "I'm acting, don't take it seriously".
This is a world away from the image of the intelligent and sagacious Mao Zedong.
"I feel like he's just pretending to be there on purpose, and he's not taking himself seriously at all. A netizen commented, "It's very disrespectful to the audience and the characters you play." ”
"This acting is too perfunctory, I think he is fishing in troubled waters. Another netizen scoffed.
What's more, in many scenes, Liu Chenglin's demeanor is not upright and steady enough.
This is very different from the impression of Mao Zedong's demeanor.
It always feels like two people.
In this regard, netizens deeply regretted: "I've seen people who have bad acting skills and fish in troubled waters, and I haven't seen people who have bad acting skills and have to self-destruct their signboards"!
Through these comments, it seems that the audience's disappointment with Liu Chenglin's performance can be glimpsed.
They originally thought that through this performance, Liu Chenglin would be able to let everyone see their strength.
Unexpectedly, in the end, acting skills were still his weakness.
This can't help but make people sigh that in the face of great people, actors must be cautious, otherwise they will only be ruined.
After seeing Hou Jingjian, it is inevitable to be disappointed when I look at others
In stark contrast to Liu Chenglin's exaggeration, Hou Jingjian has played the image of Mao Zedong's youth many times.
Hou Jingjian not only has very good facial features, but also has a lifelike temperament.
Every time he appears, he will read a lot of information and figure out Mao Zedong's personality carefully.
As a result, the audience always has a sense of being there when they watch him.
The gestures are full of the atmosphere of that era.
"I remember watching Mao Zedong played by Hou Jingjian many years ago, and it was really charming. A netizen recalled, "From his speech and demeanor to his demeanor, he revealed an extraordinary aura, which people couldn't help but respect." ”
"That's right!" another netizen agreed, "I also like his version of Mao Zedong."
It feels like he has traveled back in time to that era, and he has completely become Chairman Mao himself. ”
In addition, Hou Jingjian is never exaggerated when he plays it, and every micro-expression is steady, which makes people feel Mao Zedong's broad inner world.
Some commentators have pointed out that a large part of Hou Jingjian's success is due to his understanding and interpretation of the characters.
"I feel that Hou Jingjian should understand very well what kind of person Chairman Mao is, so the connotation he played is very rich and layered. ”
A professional reviewer analyzed, "This is by no means something that can be done by appearance or acting skills, you must know the character very well." ”
It can be said that Hou Jingjian's interpretation of Mao Zedong has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless people.
Other latecomers will inevitably lose color compared to them.
Of course, some people think that Tang Guoqiang's Mao Zedong is the most classic.
But after careful study, Tang Guoqiang's performance is also a bit mechanical, not as vivid and delicate as Hou Jingjian's vivid and delicate layering.
This may be the charm of art, and when facing great people, we all want to be as realistic as possible.
Gu Yue - even Mao Zedong who never gets tired of watching
Among all the actors who have played Mao Zedong, everyone is recognized as the most successful is Gu Yue.
Although Gu Yue is no longer alive, he played Mao Zedong more than 80 times during his lifetime!
"Gu Yue's Mao Zedong is perfect, no matter how many times you watch it, you won't get tired of it!" said one netizen.
"I remember watching his films when I was a child, and I still remember it vividly. Another netizen chimed in, "It's amazing, I feel that Gu Yue is Chairman Mao who has traveled back!"
Gu Yue's success is largely due to the fact that he attaches great importance to restoration.
In order to fit the image of the character, he plucked the hair in front of his forehead.
Therefore, when the audience sees Mao Zedong in Guyue, they often have the feeling of witnessing a great man.
The precision of his demeanor is breathtaking.
"I remember that someone counted that the details of Gu Yue's performance of Mao Zedong were restored to 97%!" a netizen sighed, "Such a high reduction rate is really unprecedented!"
"He is worthy of being a master of acting!" another netizen praised, "I can't accept watching anyone else play after watching him!"
Perhaps because of this, since Gu Yue's death, his interpretation of Mao Zedong still remains in the hearts of countless people.
Become a classic version of this great image.
We might as well imagine how Gu Yue would interpret this history if he was still there.
And bring you what a shocking wonderful!

People come and go, and they follow each other
When we reminisce about those outstanding actors, we are actually remembering history itself.
Some people may think that netizens' comments are too harsh.
But in fact, it all stems from the longing and yearning for the image of a great man.
We should not limit the views of others, because everyone has a different answer to the great man in his heart.
"I don't think we should limit what actors are most suitable to play Chairman Mao, everyone has their own understanding. A netizen commented.
These words remind us that perhaps we should not be too obsessed with any one kind of interpretation.
When it comes to great people, everyone has a different answer in their minds.
