Recently, the New Year's war drama "Scout Heroes" ended perfectly.
The 43-year-old starring Luo Jin wrote a long letter to his character Liang Chen on his social platform.
He said, "If belief can be embodied in concrete form, I think it must be you."
In the article, he mentioned his inner feelings during the filming, and also lamented the greatness of the other characters in the play.
He also expressed his incomparable reverence and heartfelt thanks to the martyrs of the Volunteer Army.
It can be seen that he has worked hard in this drama, and he has indeed used his 100% efforts to make the audience feel the excitement of the play.
has been online for 19 days, and has won the daily broadcast ratings championship for ten consecutive days, and on the closing day, it firmly occupies the first place in the proportion of TV drama broadcasts.
Why does such an "old theme of domestic dramas" as resisting US aggression and aiding Korea have such great magic?
In the interview, Luo Jin gave two reasons.
First, the anti-war ideology of the play itself has resonance;
The second is that the local perspective adopted in the play, using the small incision of "scout", to show a great war, which is novel and explosive.
Of course, the most important thing is that the plot of this drama is really exciting, especially the routine that is very different from traditional war films, focusing on the game between the two sides before the war starts.
While the reversal is fast, the ways to compete strategies are also diverse.
In addition, Liang Chen, played by Luo Jin, is also one of the key factors for this drama to get out of the circle.
In fact, in the eyes of the audience, there are two standards for an actor to play a role well, one is that the character should be performed in the plot, and the other is that the emotional expression should be appropriate and not let the audience jump the play.
These two points seem simple, but it is not easy to do them well.
But watching Luo Jin's performance, he has to complete it better than the audience's "requirements", he is relaxed and grasps the characteristics of the character, making Liang Chen in the play more real.
For example, when riding a horse to report the news, Liang Chen's anxious face and the reluctance to rush the transport horse formed a more ingenious joke.
But looking closely at Luo Jin's interpretation, the movements and expressions make people feel the embarrassment of the character.
This is a very different mental activity than his demeanor when he was reconnoitring in front of the local position.
The former is the urgency to report the information to the headquarters immediately, while the latter shows the character's caution, calmness, and a hint of nervousness in carrying out the mission.
The body movements and facial expressions of the characters were completed by Luo Jin in great detail.
Of course, in different scenes and facing different roles, Luo Jin also portrayed the integrity of Liang Chen's role very vividly.
For example, in the face of the division commander's concern about him, Liang Chen forcibly cheered up, and expressed his determination to complete the task in a relaxed tone.
At this time, he was a warrior who could overcome all difficulties for the victory of the war.
In the face of Qi Lu, he worked for his thoughts, and after affirming the other party, he let the latter understand the general righteousness of the country and the national beliefs.
His words were sonorous and powerful, with both the wisdom of a leader and the sincerity of a comrade-in-arms.
is also a literary drama, Luo Jin's acting skills have never been confined to one form, but will refresh the audience's cognition in different scenes.
However, for Uncle Fan, in "Scout Hero", I personally think that the most explosive thing about Luo Jin's acting skills is his crying scene.
In the finale of "Scout Heroes", as the war subsided, the male and female protagonists officially became a revolutionary couple.
And just when the male protagonist Liang Chen saluted the soldiers with wine, the soldiers of the reconnaissance department who had sacrificed themselves also "came back".
And Liang Chen's eyes turned red instantly, and two lines of hot tears couldn't stop flowing, and he muttered vigorously, "It's all back, it's all back!"
Although we all know that this is an "illusory" reunion, Luo Jin's acting skills made me feel the inner pain of the characters and the heartfelt longing for their comrades.
In addition, after the sacrifice of the people, when Liang Chen saw the letter of his "sweetheart", Luo Jin's forbearance crying scene was also very infectious.
Some people say that Luo Jin can act well, in addition to being a professional actor, but also thanks to his ability to truly integrate with the role.
In an interview, Luo Jin expressed his liking for the role of Liang Chen.
In his opinion, Liang Chen is a microcosm of countless volunteer soldiers, who has the enthusiasm, loyalty to the country and faith in the nation in the hearts of all volunteer soldiers.
When shooting, in order to restore the real scene, the shooting conditions they experienced were actually not good.
But it is precisely because of this that Luo Jin understands the greatness of the military and the preciousness of peace at the moment, so he said, "Filming this drama, my life will be handed over to this drama" - believe in him, entrust my life, this is the most enthusiastic confession of this drama and the director.
devotes himself wholeheartedly, which is also the reason why he can play Liang Chen well and act well in this play.
I don't know, have you noticed that Luo Jin's drama has really gotten better and better in recent years, and it has become more and more stable.
From the very beginning of the "emperor professional household" to the current reconnaissance section chief, Luo Jin's drama has grown visibly.
He once said, "The profession of an actor is to walk into others, to live other people's lives, to live a profound and real life." ”
In 2014, an actor originally scheduled for "Ten Sending the Red Army" was injured, and Luo Jin stepped up and played a veteran Gao Fuxing who led the injured team out of the encirclement.
In order to play this role well and restore the vicissitudes of the veteran in the play, he lost ten pounds in a week and "tossed" himself to a "weak face".
And when shooting, he also deliberately asked the pyrotechnician to set the explosion point closer to him, just to present the most realistic effect.
In "Narrow Road", he was injured unexpectedly, but he did not delay the progress, insisted on performing a lame role for a day, and finally arrived at the hospital and was told that he had broken a bone.
When he starred in Tuoba Jun in "Splendid Weiyang", he carried "Xinhua Dictionary" with him on the set, and whenever he was free, he pondered the rare words in his lines to deepen his understanding and control of the role.
Regarding acting, Luo Jin never thinks of himself as a talented actor, what he values is the details.
How to shape the character, how to express the character's heart, and how to impress the audience are the things he wants to improve and pursue.
Looking at it this way, Luo Jin has always had a very sober positioning for his own interpretation.
In fact, Luo Jin's appearance conditions are superior.
As early as when he was in college, many crews came to him to act, and many classmates in the same class were already running the crew.
But he didn't, he still put more effort into polishing his acting skills, thinking that "an actor's business card can only be a work." ”
Therefore, before graduation, he only participated in one sitcom and one MV, far "behind" others.
Until 2010, his two dramas became popular, one was "Beauty Scheming" and the other was "Mu Guiying is in charge".
Since then, he has ushered in an explosive period in his career, with many film and television works meeting the audience every year, and his acting and acting skills are also maturing.
However, in recent years, the number of Luo Jin's works has decreased a lot, but it is better. You must know that in recent years, there have been several Luo Jin's transformational works that are impressive.
Some people say that if Luo Jin's acting skills in "The Long River of the World" are a little bit watery, he will be crushed by the supporting roles, Huang Zhizhong, Liang Guanhua, Gong Lei, Xi Meijuan, all old drama lineup.
What about Luo Jin? In addition to the old role of "Emperor", it is relatively appropriate, and it is really not easy to perform well in the performance circle.
never thought that Luo Jin proved himself with his actions.
In the play, because of the flooding of the Yellow River, 600,000 people on the front line are facing starvation and hardship, and the ministers blame each other.
Kangxi played by him was anxious and ironic, he first suppressed his emotions and asked rhetorically, "Mandate of Heaven?", and then there was a sudden anger and roar, "Mandate of Heaven I am in charge of China in the Qing Dynasty, not to order the Qing Dynasty to withdraw from Shanhaiguan!"
In addition to emotions, Luo Jin also performed the changes in the role vividly, from the weak scholar of Kangxi's youth, to the middle-aged city government, and then to the loneliness and coldness of old age.
let the audience see the growth of a generation of emperors and the level of actors' performances.
"Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" is directed by him and Zheng Xiaolong, director Zheng Xiaolong is synonymous with quality, and the two important works after Luo Jin's transformation are from Zheng Xiaolong.
"After I put on this military uniform, I suddenly had a sense of mission, not only to be worthy of Director Xiaolong, but also to be worthy of those real soldiers. ”
It is this kind of passionate entrustment that has made this excellent work.
There is a neck strangulation scene in "Blind Spot", which impressed Uncle Fan very much, Chen Man in the play sent someone to strangle Qiao Shaoting's neck with a steel wire, and Luo Jin was under the camera, with blue muscles, hoarse vocal cords, and bloodshot eyes, which all made the audience pinch a cold sweat.
Obviously, Luo Jin understands acting, and he knows that actors always rely on their works to speak.
Looking back, almost all of Luo Jin's plays in recent years have a good popularity and reputation, and what he wants are works that can resonate with the audience and bring positive energy.
From a nameless to a powerful actor, at every step during this period, Luo Jin seems to know how to walk clearly.
In this era when traffic is king, he has always been steadfast.
Interestingly, Luo Jin's "sobriety" is not only for himself, but also for Tang Yan.
In an interview, the director of "X Female Agent" once said that Luo Jin was always teaching Tang Yan how to enter the play, be patient and serious on the set.
And when Tang Yan was hacked, and even when he was ridiculed for his drama later, Luo Jin could always stand up.
What Luo Jin gave Tang Yan was a confidence and a sense of security.
And Tang Yan, who returned to the audience's sight from her family, did not disappoint everyone.
The New Year's drama "Flowers" brought by her partner Hu Ge has gradually increased in popularity and reputation since it was launched, and Miss Wang played by her has won the favor of the audience.
Miss Wang is also a prosperous husband, not only adding a baby daughter to Luo Jin, but also bringing Luo Jin's career to a new level.
Therefore, Luo Jin's success is inseparable from his thoughtful and sober cognition.
He is not arrogant or impatient, always starts on the things in front of him, does a good job, and takes into account the authenticity of life at the same time, but also loses the truth and purity.
Such an actor, I believe, there will be better works in the future!
