"Tang Guoqiang's New Drama" was asked by the audience to be taken off the shelves a few days after its release, and all the bad reviews are pointing directly at Tang Guoqiang, the protagonist of this drama, as an old actor who has played Chairman Mao for more than 20 years, has been collectively boycotted.
How high the audience's expectations are, how big the loss is now, Tang Guoqiang's behavior in this drama has made countless netizens feel uncomfortable, and some people even criticized him for insulting the great man.

The ratings are the first, but the reviews are continuous
On April 4, the war drama "Our Team to the Sun" was broadcast on CCTV, promoting red history has always been a theme we like to watch, and in this drama contains many classic battles on the mainland, which can better reflect the hard-won victory, and can also make us deeply feel the truth that Chinese can only move towards victory if they are united.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, it attracted a large number of netizens to watch, and the ratings went straight to the first place on the list, Chairman Mao's actor is Tang Guoqiang, and many people are also looking forward to him, after all, he took over Mr. Gu Yue's class by himself, and he still has certain opinions on the interpretation of Chairman Mao, but after watching a few episodes, the audience's expectations were disappointed.
In fact, from the plot point of view, there are still many remarkable points in this drama, and the rhythm of the story is also well controlled.
Judging from the special effects, this drama did spend a lot of money, and the fire tongues of the artillery fire, wolf smoke, and machine guns were all very good, and it stands to reason that it should be well received, but it was because of Tang Guoqiang that the comment area was attacked by bad reviews.
Why was Tang Guoqiang "attacked by a group"? The key is that he acted too differently, Chairman Mao's sense of greatness was not performed at all, and many people felt that he was disrespectful to a great man, and some netizens said that if a person in his 70s played Chairman Mao at the age of 40, he would not be able to play it at all.
When I watched the drama myself, I found that the comments of netizens are still very pertinent, Tang Guoqiang is old, his face is full of age, and his eyes are not as bright as when he was young, the great man's foresight is reflected in the details, frowning and raising his hand have a deep meaning, but Tang Guoqiang can't play that feeling at all.
From his close-up, the audience can only see the feeling of endless exhaustion and pretense, he can't perform Chairman Mao's strategy at all, and he doesn't know who designed the character image, wearing a shirt and holding a fan, some people sarcastically Tang Guoqiang is still playing the Three Kingdoms.
Such an image of Chairman Mao is definitely not recognized by everyone, every time I see the main characters, I feel that it is a play, how can such a TV series be well received, and even some netizens commented that it is better to take the whole drama off the shelves directly, such greasy acting skills are not worthy of playing a great man at all.
In the eyes of the audience, Tang Guoqiang himself did not enter the play at all, and his every move was deliberately imitated, which really made people unable to find the feeling of distraction, such deliberate acting is really uncomfortable, Tang Guoqiang can not reflect Chairman Mao's heroism in this play at all, but he himself is "showing" his acting skills.
People who don't know Tang Guoqiang very well even wonder if there is a problem with the selection of people by the production team, how can such an actor be allowed to play a great man, but in fact, Tang Guoqiang can enter the public eye because the image of Chairman Mao he once played is like a god.
Chairman Mao's professional household
In 1996, Tang Guoqiang won the award for the first time when he played Chairman Mao, which also made him naturally take over the position of Teacher Gu Yue and become the best choice to play Chairman Mao, but in fact, his appearance is still very different from Chairman Mao, in order to play Chairman Mao better, Tang Guoqiang can only work hard from other aspects.
At that time, he actively listened to the opinions of others and found many experts, just to be able to have the shadow of a great man in every move, and Tang Guoqiang did conquer the audience with his superb acting skills, and he really did look like a god.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Chairman Mao's figure was relatively thin, and Tang Guoqiang decisively chose to diet and lose weight in order to better interpret it, and his dedication also won unanimous praise from the audience.
Although Tang Guoqiang is playing Chairman Mao more and more, his every move really has the feeling of a great man, and some viewers commented at that time: Look at Gu Yue if you look at your appearance, and look at Tang Guoqiang if you look at your acting skills. From this sentence, it can also be seen that the audience affirms Tang Guoqiang's acting skills, but after all, Chairman Mao, who has been acting for more than 20 years, will inevitably have some aesthetic fatigue from the audience.
Slowly the audience found that Tang Guoqiang's drama seemed to be "following his heart", in the process of playing the great man, he added his own things, it felt very abrupt, there was no previous feeling at all, in the TV series version of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", Huang Haibing's appearance made the audience's eyes shine.
Although it can be said that he is not at all different in appearance, but he has the temperament of Chairman Mao in his bones, it can be said that he completely grasped all the characteristics of Chairman Mao, and deduced it, Tang Guoqiang's position is very unfavorable, everyone thinks that the more they look at him, the more they feel that they are not like great people, in fact, it is not that Tang Guoqiang does not work hard, but that he wants to "perform" too much.
From everyone's praise to everyone's hate
Compare Teacher Gu Yue and Tang Guoqiang, everyone will know why Tang Guoqiang's reputation is getting worse and worse, first of all, Teacher Gu Yue is better in appearance, he looks like him, and Teacher Gu Yue has also worked hard in terms of modeling, and he has uprooted all the hair on his forehead in order to perfectly restore the appearance of a great man.
From the point of view of acting, Mr. Gu Yue is more in line with the public, Chairman Mao is a great national leader, but he is also a person, if he is a person, he will have seven emotions and six desires, Mr. Gu Yue portrayed Chairman Mao closer to the masses in the project he played, and he had a more "live" feeling, which made everyone feel very cordial, while Tang Guoqiang was completely different.
Tang Guoqiang's acting idea is to establish Chairman Mao as an image of a saint, which can also be said to be the kind of image that everyone imagines, tall and majestic, able to penetrate everything, and has a spirit in every gesture, which is completely different from the ordinary people, giving people the feeling of being sacred and unattainable.
But in fact, this is not the case, Chairman Mao also has times when he encounters difficulties, and there are times when he needs help, he is also an approachable, close to the people and loves the people, Tang Guoqiang can't play this feeling at all, and the great man he plays has a feeling that can't be touched by ordinary people.
And Chairman Mao almost never spoke Mandarin, and Tang Guoqiang has always used Mandarin, so it doesn't sound right, and Tang Guoqiang not only received bad reviews because of his image in the play, but after the explosion, he began to receive money from various advertising circles, and many people also felt that he played a great man in front of the stage, and it was really undesirable to fall into the money eye behind his back.
Tang Guoqiang himself said that if it weren't for playing Chairman Mao, he would definitely not be able to get to his current position, and it stands to reason that he should cherish the opportunity to play Chairman Mao.
It's just that the performance in "Our Team to the Sun" is really poor, there is nothing wrong with the drama itself, I still recommend everyone to take a look, I hope Tang Guoqiang can sum up the lessons and bring you better works next time.
