Lin Biao's image shaping in Chinese film and television cannot but be said to carry a kind of fetal embarrassment.
In many film and television works, we can see Lin Biao's figure, but he has only been recorded in his existence, and his more personality has to be played, but he has to try his best to make intentional dilution and suppression.
With the advent of "face contrast" software, it can make it easier for us to compare the similarities between people.
So, we can use this software today to compare whether the image of Lin Biao created on the screen and the screen is similar to the real prototype.
Speaking of Lin Biao's most sensational actor, it should be said that ma Shaoxin played the image in "Armageddon".
It is not that Lin Biao's artistic image did not appear before, but "Armageddon" gave Lin Biao a more neutral and objective image demonstration.
For actor Ma Shaoxin, this is also an unattainable peak moment in his life.
Born in 1936, Ma Shaoxin was given the opportunity to play Lin Biao in 1988, when he was 52 years old.
It's an awkward age for actors, and the opportunity to get such an important role in their fifties is really hard-won.
Looking at the screen role played by Ma Shaoxin before, it is really difficult to see what similarities he has with Lin Biao.
Ma Shaoxin is an actor in the Heilongjiang Jixi Repertory Theatre, and it is really difficult for such an actor in a regional-level drama troupe to emerge and win the whole country.
Undoubtedly, the film and television stage in Heilongjiang is the upper limit that the actors in this troupe can aspire to.
Therefore, the TV dramas that Ma Shaoxin was able to star in in the early days were some film and television dramas shot by provincial and municipal television stations in Heilongjiang, including "Pen and Ink Spring and Autumn", "Xiangshan", "Wheel March" and "Silent Merry Man" filmed in 1982, and the works he participated in on the screen can be seen in his "Homecoming" filmed by Changying Film Studio in 1983.
"Homecoming" is also the only film that we can see today in which Ma Shaoxin (named Ma Shaoxin on the cast list) starred before playing Lin Biao.
The plot of this movie, it seems today, is still intriguing. The film shows a soldier who is demobilized and returns home, only to find that his fiancée is married to someone else, and he is caught in a painful contradiction.
The male protagonist naturally cannot let the 47-year-old Ma Shaoxin play, in the film, Ma Shaoxin plays a bearded, vicissitudes of the old man, known by the villagers as "eight two old uncles".
The role in the shot, at least sixty years old, his appearance is not proud, it looks like dirt, and his expression is quite exaggerated, it can be seen that the actor is also doing his best in the performance, and he does not have the majestic style of the city government when he later played Lin Biao.
Now it seems that The transformation of Ma Shaoxin's image has reached an incredibly strong contrast.
In "Armageddon", Ma Shaoxin mainly appears in the first and third parts, he grasps the unique temperament of the characters who are silent but must do what they say, and correspondingly, the character expressions are also cut to the extreme, but with cold eyes, revealing the character's highly guarded inner world.
Ma Shaoxin's Lin Biao came out, and with his cold, restrained and restrained mix-and-match style, he shocked a large number of eyes in the film and television circle.
Wherever the crew of "Armageddon" went, Ma Shaoxin's momentum even overshadowed Mao Zedong's actor Gu Yue.
From an unrecognizable fellow in the countryside to the extraordinary commander of the First Army in "Armageddon", Ma Shaoxin also showed a handsome and compelling side that he may not have tried before. Fifty years old can still have a handsome side, which can only be achieved in playing a historical figure.
After that, Ma Shaoxin also played Lin Biao in "The Great March - The Great Pursuit of the Southern Front" and the TV series "Four Levels of Blood", but Lin Biao could not become the protagonist, and the film and television films with him as a supporting role were also rare, so there were not many opportunities for Ma Shaoxin to vividly interpret the character image, and now it seems that his most impressive image shaping is still concentrated in "Armageddon".
After that, Ma Shaoxin also intended to open up a new world of interpretation, successively playing the Japanese Masao Nakamura in "Iron-Blooded Kunlun Pass" and playing a mountain eagle in the TV series "Lin Hai Snow Field", but it was not as eye-catching as the cold Lin Biao image he created, and gradually faded into the acting queue that always pushed the front wave.
So, is Ma Shaoxin really similar to Lin Biao?
Let's use the "Face Contrast" software to see if it is similar to the character archetype.
It can be seen that Masayoshin and the character archetype are identified as the same person in an appropriate way compared to the software.
But it must also be seen that the gap between the two people is still quite large, and under more pictures, the two people have lower similarities from the perspective of face shape.
However, Ma Shaoxin created a character image expected by the audience, shaping a unique character that fits the public imagination and the film and television situation, thus earning him a well-received reputation.
Ma Shaoxin's portrayal of Lin Biao's image is the most important, and his positioning of the character image allows later actors to have a template for drawing gourds.
Of course, before Ma Shaoxin, I have to mention Li Xuejian's pioneering contribution to Lin Biao's image.
This is Li Xuejian's almost live drama-style interpretation of Lin Biao in the drama "913 Incident".
It seems that Li Xuejian released the empowerment of the character's shrouded skin and flesh without smiling to an unprecedented extent, which temporarily shocked the showbiz circle.
Li Xuejian's interpretation is too similar, but this image is also an image shaping that conforms to a special situation, and he grasps several points of the character in the image setting, and then the audience will receive this image unconditionally.
We use the image played by Li Xuejian in the drama to compare with the character archetype, and we have to admit that Li Xuejian, who is only in his twenties, can actually be judged to be highly similar to Lin Biao, who has entered old age.
This cannot but be said to be Li Xuejian's acting skills, which give such magic.
In fact, we can look at it, Li Xuejian's true color photo does not have any similarities with Lin Biao.
It is precisely because Li Xuejian's performance in "913 Incident" is too fascinating, and he also played Lin Biao during the Long March period when he filmed "Four Crossings of Red Water" in Bayi Factory in the future.
This is also the image of Lin Biao in the first film and television film that can be found to find information.
In this film, only fictional characters appeared in the script, and later the leader characters were added, which weakened the role of fictional characters, but brought a problem that there was a lack of a middle-level general class at the legion level.
Therefore, the film is improvised, and a legion-level leader who plays a mission to the film is added, and Peng Dehuai and Lin Biao, who did not appear before, can also have a brief appearance in the film.
The scene of Lin Biao in "Four Crossings of Red Water" is very limited, Lin Biao, played by Li Xuejian, has been silently immersed in thinking in front of the map, expressionless, silent, it can be seen that the film's portrayal of Lin Biao is quite contradictory, so try to minimize Lin Biao's drama and only give him a symbolic existence.
In this way, Lin Biao in "Four Crossings of Red Water" is only a flash, if you do not pay attention, you do not know at all, Li Xuejian has also played an important role in the film.
This is also the reason why when "Armageddon" was filmed in the future, it was really faced with the problem of how to represent Lin Biao, because "Four Crossings of Red Water" did not solve this shooting orientation, but only as a legacy dilemma and shelved here.
After Ma Shaoxin, Lin Biao's actor also appeared like a marquee, and it is difficult for us to find a satisfactory optimal solution.
Below, we select a few of the more eye-catching actors to compare, and their similarity with the prototype characters reaches geometric.
Yu Liping is an actor who plays Lin Biao's image more.
Born in 1963, he is an actor in the Beijing Children's Art Theater, and in 2008, he first starred in "Liberation", and it turned out that he planned to compete for the role of Liang Shuming in this play, but he did not expect to try Lin Biao's debut, so he embarked on the road to play Lin Biao.
Lin Biao in "The Great Undertaking of Building a Nation" is also played by him.
In the film, Lin Biao is shown documentarily participating in the meeting, and after entering the synagogue, Mao Zedong only shook Lin Biao's hand and made a joke with Lin Biao: "Still so thin, more than a million Kuomintang put into the stomach, and have not eaten you fat." ”
It's just that the camera is a long-range view, and the image of Lin Biao, played by Liping, has not been fully revealed.
However, Yu Liping himself is not thin, his cheeks are more plump, and he looks closer to Li Xuejian's face shape, in contrast, he is not like Ma Shaoxin, highlighting the feminine color of the character, but has a little more affinity.
In "Admiral Hong Xuezhi", Lin Biao's image is more kind, seeing Hong Xuezhi coming, warmly inviting them to dinner, talking and laughing, and not giving the character too much character color that is pushed backwards by the ending.
Let's compare the similarities with the "Face Contrast" software.
The conclusion is that the appearance of Yu Liping and Lin Biao is far more similar.
Chen Shanshan is also an actor who plays Lin Biao's image more.
Strangely, in the 2001 film version of "Taihang Mountain", he played Nie Rongzhen, and in the camera, he stood next to Lin Biao, played by Jiang Feng, which gave people a strange feeling. In "Hundred Regiments War", he also played Nie Rongzhen.
Played Nie Rongzhen in "On the Taihang Mountain"
Chen Shanshan's face is relatively thin and pretty, but he has a deficiency, the upper lip is thin and not full, and it lacks the appearance characteristics of Lin Biao's straight nose and mouth.
However, choosing a better angle and avoiding the lack of upper lip, he can also achieve high similarity with the character archetype. Let's take a look at the following comparison:
This high imitation similarity has to be impressive.
Chen Shanshan still starred in Lin Biao in film and television films, and at the same time, he also played Nie Rongzhen in a busy way. Lin Nie would often appear together, so Chen Shanshan jumped between the two people, and the sight was dazzling.
Chen Shanshan's film and television films playing Lin Biao mainly include: "Liberation of Hainan Island", "Marshal Peng Dehuai", "Diplomatic Storm" and so on.
Jiang Feng, whose name is Jiang Feng in the movie "On the Taihang Mountain", has also played Lin Biao many times in the future.
He mainly plays Lin Biao in "Where the Sun Rises" and the TV series "Long March".
He was far closer to Lin Biao than Chen Shanshan around him in "On the Taihang Mountain".
The similarity of Jiang Feng (Jiang Feng) is significantly lower.
Zhong Shan, playing Lin Biao in the movie "Long March".
Later, he played Lin Biao in 2003", "Ode to Yan'an" in 2003, "Zhou Enlai in Chongqing" and other films.
Zhong Shan's cheeks are fleshy and far away from Lin Biao.
Tian Yong has played Lin Biao in the movie "The Founding Ceremony", "The Decisive Battle of China's Destiny" (with the name Tian Yong) in 1999, "Mao Ze, the Founding Leader", "The Record of the Great Marshal", "The Eighth Route Army", and "Comrade Shaoqi".
In "Comrade Shaoqi", there is a scene that is quite interesting. Lin Biao caught lice in the house, catching with relish, and did not smell anything outside the window.
Outside the house, the pistol was fired, the bullet was shot into the house, and the generals rushed into the room, only to see lin Biao spoiled and still tirelessly engaged in the work of catching lice in his hand, which was relieving.
This is also a rare depiction of Lin Biao's life, which is much deeper than the presentation of the habit of eating soybeans that is indispensable in every piece.
Tian Yong played Lin Biao basically at the same time as Ma Shaoxin, but his face was fat and he looked like he lacked connotation, so he had not performed his personality. Take a look at the similarity of the shapes:
Similar values are OK.
Liu Xu played Lin Biao in the TV series "Nie Rongzhen" and "Dongfang Hong 1949". Liu Xu is relatively thin and pretty, the bridge of his nose is high, and he still looks more comfortable.
The comparison results are as follows:
The result was less than satisfactory.
Lu Yujie, who played Lin Biao in 2005's "Chen Yun in Linjiang", and Ma Shihong, who played Xiao Jinguang in this film, later played Lin Biao in "Crossing the Yalu River". Lu Yujie starred in "Ode to Yan'an" as Dai Kasa, perhaps there is a little similarity in the appearance of the two people.
Take a look at the comparison results:
Dong Jingchuan, born in 1979, should be the youngest actor currently playing Lin Biao, mainly playing Lin Biao in his youth. His works include "Red Cradle", "Red Army Crusade", "Jinggangshan", and "The Great Turning Point".
This image does not need to be compared.
Yi Kun, who played Lin Biao in the 2014 TV series "Founding Father Zhu De".
Yi Kun version
Ding Jianjun played Lin Biao in the 2013 TV series "Leader". This version of Lin Biao is flesh and blood, the actor is also relatively handsome, is a good actor with the potential to develop in the direction of special type.
Ma Tianyu played Lin Biao in the movie "The Great Cause of Building an Army".
This basically has no comparative value and is directly skipped.
Ma Shihong played Lin Biao in "Crossing the Yalu River", which highlighted Lin Biao's unsmiling personality setting, although he only appeared in a few episodes in the film, but the performance of the characters was still quite in place.
This description looks more like, take a look at the comparison results:
We were shocked to see that this was by far the actor with the highest similarity score. Ma Shihong has great potential.
It is worth mentioning that makeup artist Wang Xizhong made a cameo appearance in the movie "Zhou Enlai".
Lin Biao in the TV series "Armageddon", which is currently being filmed, is played by Hewei, let's see if he is similar to the prototype.
The score is not high, only hope that the actor will create a vivid character through his superb acting skills.
Overall, it is not difficult to play Lin Biao's image, because this role, there is no wide-open range of action, only need to converge their kinetic energy, weaken their performance, slowly show the eyes, reduce the brightness of the eyes, it can basically match the character's personality.
But there is no doubt that Lin Biao is a role in film and television works that is easy to attract special attention from the audience, and for this image, the audience undoubtedly accepts more god-like settings, which is also the reason why this role is relatively easy to play. Because of this, this is also the reason why some actors can quickly change their identities without being questioned by the audience.
