Recently, Tang Guoqiang's new drama "Our Team to the Sun" is being broadcast on CCTV 8.
And Tang Guoqiang once again played the image of Chairman Mao in the play, and netizens' comments were mixed.
So, today let's focus on several actors who have played Chairman Mao.
For example, Tang Guoqiang, Gu Yue, Wang Renjun, Hou Jingjian, etc., put them together to watch.
See what the difference is!
First place: Tang Guoqiang
When it comes to actors who have played Chairman Mao, Tang Guoqiang can't be bypassed no matter what.
Tang Guoqiang has been in the industry for more than 40 years and has played Chairman Mao more than 50 times in film and television dramas.
The image of middle-aged Chairman Mao played by him is recognized as the "peak" in the eyes of the audience. ”
In the TV series "Long March" released in 2001, the image of a great man played by Tang Guoqiang was well received by a group of netizens.
In terms of acting skills, Tang Guoqiang has absolutely no problem, because before turning into a special actor, he has created a number of classic roles.
For example, Zhao Mengsheng in "Garland Under the Mountain", Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc.
But since he played Chairman Mao in the movie "The Long March" in 1993, he has been out of control, and in that year, Tang Guoqiang's performance was not only recognized by experts and audiences, but even won the Huabiao Award for Best Actor.
In 1997, in the film "Founding Leader Mao Zedong", Tang Guoqiang played the image of Chairman Mao for the second time, and he also gained a good harvest.
In addition to the recognition of the audience and experts, Tang Guoqiang won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor, and the title of "actor" is well deserved, and his acting skills are beyond doubt.
Later, slowly, Tang Guoqiang began to turn into a special actor, until the release of the TV series "Long March" in 2001, which brought Tang Guoqiang's career to a higher level.
In the same year, he was also awarded the title of "Lifetime Glory Artist" by the National Theatre of China.
Tang Guoqiang performed the spirit of middle-aged Chairman Mao, but the only pity is that Tang Guoqiang does not know Hunanese, which is a pity.
Secondly, in this "Our Team to the Sun", Tang Guoqiang is more than 70 years old, and it is already a little powerless to play the image of middle-aged Chairman Mao.
Second place: Gu Yue
If you want to say that the actor who plays the image of Chairman Mao, the earliest one is Gu Yue's predecessor, compared with Tang Guoqiang, Gu Yue's predecessor is more cordial.
Gu Yue's predecessor grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, he was an orphan of a martyr, and since he was rescued by the People's Liberation Army, he has been living in the army, and the army is his home.
Unlike Tang Guoqiang, who became a monk halfway, Gu Yue's predecessor is a special actor personally selected by Marshal Ye, which is of great significance.
In fact, Gu Yue's original name was not Gu Yue, his original name was "Hu Shixue", in order to facilitate everyone's memory, he took apart his surname Hu and used "Gu Yue" as his stage name.
In 1981, Gu Yue's predecessors participated in the historical film "Xi'an Incident" directed by Cheng Yin, playing the great man Chairman Mao in the play, and since then he has started his acting career.
This movie gave Gu Yue a lot of inspiration, in order to play the image of a great man well, Gu Yue in addition to carefully grasping every opportunity to perform, but also indispensable to the study of Hunan dialect.
For this reason, Gu Yue's predecessors went to Chairman Mao's hometown to practice Hunan dialect day and night, so this is the image of a great man with a strong Hunan accent on the screen.
Since she got involved in the film and television industry, Gu Yue's roles are all the same image of Chairman Mao, and it can be said that Gu Yue has dedicated her life to interpreting the image of a great man, and her perseverance is admirable.
Compared with Tang Guoqiang's image of a great man, Mr. Gu Yue's authentic Hunan accent makes the audience deeply involved in the play, which is a good plus.
However, it is a pity that Mr. Gu Yue died of myocardial infarction in 2005, which is really regrettable.
In the image of middle-aged Chairman Mao, Tang Guoqiang performed Chairman Mao's domineering spirit through his own performance style.
Through careful research and a lot of study of Chairman Mao's image, Gu Yue's predecessors showed the temperament and characteristics of the great man, and the authentic Hunan accent was a plus.
The performances of the two have their own characteristics, each with its own characteristics, and the difference is still obvious.
Third place: Hou Jingjian
Hou Jingjian is a professional actor who graduated from the acting department of Beijing Film and has relatively stable acting skills.
has been in the industry for many years, Hou Jingjian has played many film and television images, such as "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "The Legend of the Tang Rangers", "Tomb Romance", etc., Hou Jingjian has participated, and left a lot of film and television images.
But it's a pity that Hou Jingjian's career has been mediocre until 2010 in the historical drama "Iron Shoulders and Morality", Hou Jingjian played the image of Chairman Mao, and since then he has found his acting direction.
The young Chairman Mao played by Hou Jingjian in "The Great Torch", "The Great Turning", and "The Awakening Age" have all been highly praised.
Hou Jingjian expressed his views at the online audio-visual theme publicity meeting, saying that we should be in awe of art and put our thoughts and energy on creation.
In "The Flame of the Great Road", Hou Jingjian shows the unique charm of the great man through the delicate portrayal of the characters, and a simple smoking action can show the tension, anxiety and seriousness in the hearts of the great man.
The kindness and wisdom revealed in his speech perfectly interpreted the image of an ambitious Chairman Mao.
Even after this work was broadcast, some netizens commented that "Hou Jingjian's performance has surpassed Tang Guoqiang", and the evaluation is really high.
In general, Hou Jingjian showed the demeanor of the young Chairman Mao, and the image he created was three-dimensional, plump and real, which is the advantage of Hou Jingjian's performance.
Fourth place: Wang Renjun
Among those who have played the image of young Chairman Mao, in addition to Hou Jingjian, there is also Wang Renjun.
If you want to say which of Wang Renjun's works attracts the most attention from the audience, it must be the TV series "Ask the Boundless" released last year, in this work, Wang Renjun once again tried to perform the image of a great man.
This is Wang Renjun's 5th time playing Chairman Mao, and among the actors mentioned above, Wang Renjun is the one with less seniority, and he has played the great man the least.
On the road to playing a great man, Wang Renjun has deepened his respect for Chairman Mao, and the more profound his performance, the more he can appreciate the charm and wisdom of a great man.
Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, and asking who is the lord of the vast land, Chairman Mao in his youth had lofty political ambitions and an indomitable spirit.
Wang Renjun portrayed the image of the great man very vividly in "Asking the Boundless", with both form and spirit, persistent wisdom, and lifelikeness, and in general it was very successful.
Hou Jingjian's performance highlights the demeanor of the young Chairman Mao, while Wang Renjun shows Chairman Mao's wisdom and lofty ambitions, and the performances of the two actors have their own characteristics.
Don't forget the people who dig wells, and don't forget Chairman Mao.
I hope that in the future, more Chairman Mao's special actors can be actively produced, so that the great man will continue on the screen.
But there is one thing that needs to be noted, that is, the selection of special actors should be meticulous and fully considered, and the image of the great man in the hearts of the audience should not be destroyed.
So, who else do you know who has played the image of Chairman Mao?
Which of them impressed you the most?
