Preface
Speaking of Guan Yu, which actor comes to mind?
It is the martial saint Guan Yu created by Lu Shuming in the 94 version of the TV series.
is still the pair of eyes lacking chivalrous charm in Yu Rongguang's version, as if Guan Yu is sleeping.
Or is it the laughable and unique Guan Yu in Han Geng's version?
In your mind, which actor's performance best meets your expectations and imagination for Guan Yu?
Lu Shuming
Lu Shuming, the actor of Guan Fei in the 94 version, this actor has set a good example for the new generation of actors like his name, and has also successfully made people remember the image of Guan Yu he played.
He successfully interpreted Guan Yu, a historical figure, into the hearts of the people and made it unforgettable.
However, it is sad that Lu Shuming left us forever in 2022.
But fortunately, he left us an immortal masterpiece - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
Among them, the image of Guan Yu played by him is known as "unparalleled in the world", and almost no one can surpass it.
As for why netizens say that Guan Yu played by Lu Shuming is the most expressive and vivid?
This has to mention his majestic figure of 186 centimeters, which alone is enough to make people feel a strong sense of oppression.
Even if he didn't say a word, he could feel a strong sense of presence from the aura emanating from his body.
Especially when he put on Guan Yu's costume and looked up, his slender eyes seemed to contain endless charm, revealing the demeanor of a chivalrous man at all times.
His costume is extremely chic, which perfectly interprets the bravery and heroism of Guan Yu, a historical figure.
If Guan Yu sees the wonderful interpretation of him by later generations, he should also feel gratified!
Yu Rongguang
Yu Rongguang played Guan Yu in 2009's "Three Kingdoms", he has a height of 1.83 meters, and when he plays the image of the tall Guan Erye, although he is not tall, it is enough.
Because if you want to play a good role, you are not only highly similar in appearance, but also similar in charm.
Yu Rongguang is the latter, because his eyes are not big, or they can be said to be small, they are also controversial.
When Yu Rongguang played the role of Guan Yu, he really played it very well! He used his acting skills to show Guan Yu's heroic and fearless temperament.
When you see him playing Guan Yu, his eyes are very firm, his movements are very powerful, and his tone of voice is also very calm, really like a mighty general.
Whether he was commanding a battle on the battlefield or encountering difficulties in peacetime, he was able to remain calm and firm, and that kind of bravery was really admirable.
Moreover, when Yu Rongguang played Guan Yu, he also paid special attention to expressing his emotions.
He played Guan Yu's joys, sorrows and sorrows very well, allowing us to feel the inner world of this historical figure more deeply.
Especially in those scenes where he drank and sang and fought side by side with his brothers, Yu Rongguang acted so well that it made people feel like they really saw the righteous Guan Yunchang.
In general, Yu Rongguang really played the role of Guan Yu.
He not only looks like Guan Yu in appearance, but more importantly, he also acts like Guan Yu in Shen Yun.
His performance allows us to see a more real and vivid Guan Yu, and also allows us to better understand the heroism and heroism of this historical figure.
Han
After the movie "Dynasty Warriors" was released in 2021, the film rushed to the hot list as soon as it was broadcast, and the expressiveness of the actors quickly caused heated discussions on major platforms.
Among them, the role of Guan Yu played by Han Geng has become the focus of everyone's discussion, and it has been controversial for a while.
Judging from the appearance, there is indeed some gap between Han Geng's height and Guan Yu's tall and mighty image in history.
To perfectly show Guan Yu's majestic momentum on the screen is indeed a big challenge for Han Geng.
He also admitted that this role is a big challenge for him, and he has put a lot of effort into it, including going to the gym in the hope that he can have strength and look more powerful.
Although Han Geng may not be able to fully restore Guan Yu's image in terms of height, his hard work in the film is still worthy of recognition.
He tried to make up for this deficiency through his performance, showing Guan Yu's bravery and majesty.
However, many netizens didn't seem to be satisfied with his performance, thinking that he didn't deduce Guan Yu's majestic feeling.
Some netizens bluntly said that it is not just anyone who dresses up as Guan Yu to claim to be Guan Yu.
They believe that the role of Guan Yu requires an actor to have a unique temperament and verve, and Han Geng's performance in this regard obviously did not meet their expectations.
In general, the image of Guan Yu played by Han Geng in "Dynasty Warriors" has aroused heated discussions and controversies among the audience.
This also reflects that the audience has extremely high requirements and expectations for the shaping of historical figures.
I hope that in the future film and television works, we can see more actors and works that can accurately interpret historical figures, so that the audience can feel the charm and style of historical figures more realistically.
epilogue
In "Dynasty Warriors", the three actors have their own interpretations of Guan Yu.
With his tall and mighty figure, Lu Shuming showed Guan Yu's bravery and domineering to the fullest, which was highly praised.
Yu Rongguang captured Guan Yu's charm through delicate performances, although his height was slightly insufficient, his acting skills made up for this shortcoming.
However, when Han Geng played Guan Yu, because his height did not match the image of the character, despite his hard performance, he could not fully deduce Guan Yu's majesty.
The attempts of these three actors all let the audience see their intentions and efforts for the roles, but the effects are not the same.
This also shows that when creating historical figures, in addition to appearance, it is necessary to deeply understand the temperament and charm of the characters, so as to truly make the characters lifelike and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
