"Preamble"
CCTV's new TV series "Ask the Boundless" I don't know if you have watched it, the theme of this main theme is infinitely charming, and the play tells the story of Chairman Mao in his youth from a more life-like perspective.
Just when the show was on the air, another drama of the same type "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" appeared in the audience's field of vision, although the theme is the same as the former, but the story is different, it is worth mentioning that the actor who played Chairman Mao this time is not the well-known Tang Guoqiang.
Tang Guoqiang is no longer suitable to play Chairman Mao's youthful appearance, and he will be replaced by a little-known rookie actor, so what kind of surprise will he bring to the audience?
"The Great Man in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves""
As soon as the news of the rookie actor playing Chairman Mao in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" came out, it aroused the curiosity of netizens, and everyone wanted to know what kind of actor could challenge the charm of this role.
Presumably the audience knows very well that playing Chairman Mao not only requires excellent acting skills, but also has a deep cultural heritage, can a rookie actor who has never been exposed to this role meet the audience's expectations?
When "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" was presented on the screen, all eyes were focused on the actor who played Chairman Mao, and the appearance of the great man was irreplaceable in the minds of the audience.
Fortunately, the masterpiece "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has very strict requirements for actors, not only pursuing resemblance, but more importantly, resemblance, that is to say, it is a difficult challenge for actors, and playing Chairman Mao is a super intensity challenge.
In fact, in the minds of the audience, whether it is Gu Yue or Tang Guoqiang, they are all the best players who play Chairman Mao, Gu Yue is a relatively early group of characteristic actors, in order to fit the image of a great man, he did not hesitate to start "plastic surgery" for himself.
When Gu Yue created the character, she specially plucked out the hair on her forehead, even pulled out her teeth, and learned Xi dialect, which is not only to restore the appearance of a great man in terms of appearance, but also to achieve a perfect fit in demeanor and language.
Gu Yue's efforts have indeed paid off, his role as Chairman Mao has been widely praised by the audience, and Tang Guoqiang is now the most well-known actor who plays Chairman Mao, and his unique performance style makes the audience appreciate it.
Tang Guoqiang's portrayal of a great man is undoubtedly successful, after all, he has played more than 40 times, and without a certain amount of effort, it is impossible to play Chairman Mao in different dramas, which shows that he already has a deep understanding of this role.
However, to get back to the point, can Liu Chenglin, who played Chairman Mao in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", surpass his predecessors? Will he become the leader of the new generation of Chairman Mao actors? It depends on whether his acting skills can meet the audience's expectations.
The TV series "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" tells the story of Chairman Mao's mental journey after graduating from Hunan No. 1 Normal School in 1918 and joining the First Party Congress in 1921.
Therefore, with Tang Guoqiang's current age, there is no way to restore the image of a great man in his youth, after all, his age does not match, and he always plays a great man according to a special actor, so what should I do in the future?
Liu Chenglin is just a rookie actor in his twenties at this time, the same age as the role of Chairman Mao in the play, before, he only appeared in some works with other themes, and this time he made the audience refreshed with his outstanding performance.
"Liu Chenglin's acting skills have been recognized"
There are many actors in the entertainment industry who have played Chairman Mao, such as Gu Zhixin, who is the most controversial in terms of appearance restoration, he also played a great man in his youth, can an actor who has no resemblance really be recognized?
We all know Chairman Mao's solemn and iron-clad image, but Gu Zhixin's image gives people a sense of being a literary and artistic youth, and has nothing to do with tough guys, but his acting skills can be described as tough.
Although Gu Zhixin did not reflect the majesty of Chairman Mao, his performance impressed the audience, and with his excellent acting skills, he successfully restored the image of Chairman Mao as a scholar in his youth.
Even if Gu Zhixin is not compared with other special actors in appearance, it can be said that he can't get it back in terms of acting skills, which can be regarded as opening up another way to play a great man, and giving full play to his demeanor.
In addition, there is also an actor who played Chairman Mao in his youth, that is, Hou Jingjian in "The Awakening Age", and the evaluation of this actor is mixed, which shows that it is not easy to play a great man.
So what kind of evaluation will Liu Chenglin, as a new-generation actor, receive, and what kind of surprises will "Kunpeng Hit the Waves" bring to the audience?
Liu Chenglin really entered the showbiz in 2016, and he has not had too many classic roles in his experience in the past few years, but this does not mean that the actor has no acting skills, on the contrary, his performance strength has been recognized by industry insiders.
Liu Chenglin, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, has always been eager to have a good script, and in order to be recognized by the audience, he has also been working hard to hone his acting skills, and "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" may be an opportunity for him.
In "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", Liu Chenglin's image is highly consistent with the role, "scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan", presenting the ambition of Chairman Mao in his youth in front of the audience.
Especially when dealing with emotional scenes, Liu Chenglin can handle it and bring the audience into the scene very well to understand the environment and inner thoughts of the characters at that time, which is difficult not to empathize.
Liu Chenglin's acting skills are indeed passable, but does the appearance conform to the image of the characters at that time? In fact, judging from the image in the play, he also has a lot of advantages in appearance, with a sense of justice on his face, exuding an endless end.
The most important thing is that the quality of the TV series "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is also very good, and it won the first place on the list after only two episodes, if the actor's acting skills are not up to standard, it will not be recognized by the audience.
This is enough to see that whether it is "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", or newcomer Liu Chenglin, or the actors of the crew, the theme, image and acting skills have been well evaluated, and it is a good drama with heart.
"Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" breaks the sky"
"Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is different from previous works similar to this theme in terms of plot, he adopts a first-person narrative method, with the protagonist as the main line throughout the play, bringing the audience a life journey of a great man's youth.
As far as the current entertainment industry is concerned, in most of the main theme film and television works, the actors who play great roles are Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin and other special actors, and there is a word to describe them, called "great professional households".
At first, it was a good choice to rely on special actors to set off the play, but after a long time, it will inevitably cause a sense of fatigue to the audience, not to mention that the older generation of actors can no longer play the great roles of youth.
Liu Chenglin's arrival may prove that even if he leaves the older generation of special actors, in the domestic entertainment industry, he can still find suitable actors to take over the burden of his predecessors, and Liu Chenglin's performance left a good impression on the audience.
In the TV series "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", many great historical figures appeared, but the crew chose new actors to share these roles, and did not let special actors play them, which shows that as long as the acting skills meet the standards, they can also be recognized by the audience.
"Conclusion"
"Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has been broadcast for several episodes in a row, and in the early work, from casting, plot to later publicity work, it is very sincere, as long as it is not to rub the popularity of the main theme, and make a good drama in a down-to-earth manner, it will not be bad.
Kunpeng hits three thousand miles of water, judging the good and bad of a drama, it is necessary to analyze it from multiple angles, and the plot is constantly updated, and the audience is also looking forward to whether it can bring more surprises as the follow-up plot unfolds.
2023 is the 130th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's Christmas!
