A foreign doctor of sociology once said to Zheng Shuyun, Zhou Enlai's hygienist:
Why is Zhou Enlai willing to listen to everything he says, is it because he is beautiful?
The image of Zhou Enlai can be described in 8 words: elegant and elegant.
Some reporters also called him the first beautiful man in China.
According to such a description, the actor who conforms to the image temperament of Premier Zhou is none other than Liu Jin.
In the 20 years of playing Zhou Enlai, Liu Jin was considered by the audience to be the most similar to Zhou Enlai's actor, and even in the hearts of the post-90s and post-00s, when it comes to playing Zhou Enlai, he will reflexively ask, is it Liu Jin? His image and acting skills are deeply "admired" by the audience.
Recently, the revolutionary historical drama "The Great Armageddon", starring Tang Guoqiang, Wang Jinsong, Liu Jin, Liu Tao and Su Qing, was broadcast on CCTV channel, which vividly and imagined the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin, and expressed the three major battles through the three major levels of strategy, tactics and combat.
The old actors of the play are endless, and they can't help but be excited, especially when they see Liu Jin play Zhou Enlai again, or so kind, or the familiar "taste".
Why do the audience like Zhou Enlai, played by Liu Jin, so much? Whether he can really stand up to the "first man in diplomacy".
To answer this question, let's first take a look at several versions of Zhou Enlai in past historical dramas, is Liu Jin the one you like the most?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="49" > movie Nanchang Uprising (1981</h1>).
Zhou Enlai plays Kong Xiangyu
The film is adapted from the drama "August 1st Storm", which tells the story of Zhou Enlai, He Long and other organizations that launched the Nanchang Uprising in 1927.
In 1982, the film also won the 2nd Golden Rooster Awards, the 1981 Outstanding Film Award of the Ministry of Culture for Best Styling and Culture.
At the beginning of the creation, director Tang Xiaodan made it clear that he wanted to make this film into a documentary, although the film could not fully interpret the story in the history textbook, but still try to restore the characters, food, clothing, shelter and customs of that era.
Therefore, the visual presentation of the film is indeed more shocking, especially when describing the personality characteristics of Zhou Enlai, which makes the audience refreshed.
The famous film artist Kong Xiangyu played the young Zhou Enlai, this role is already familiar to the audience, in order to get the audience's recognition, you must move closer to the role from the shape and expression, which Kong Xiangyu grasped is not brilliant, and the external features are not obvious enough.
Kong Xiangyu has also said many times in interviews that imitating Zhou Enlai is never a simple thing. However, you can take a look at Kong Xiangyu's Role in "Sunrise Oriental" Chen Duxiu, which is quite wonderful and is also the peak of Kong Xiangyu's personal acting career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="83" > movie "Groundbreaking" 1991</h1>
Zhou Enlai is played by Jin Dong
The film is similar to the recently released Revolutionary, telling the story of Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu's arduous journey to victory for the Chinese revolution.
At that time, "Breaking New Ground" was the first film in China to tell the story of the modern revolution, and many people did not know that Jin Dong played the role of Zhou Enlai in it.
At that time, Jin Dong played Zhou Enlai in his youth, although there were indeed some gods in his appearance, but this was far from enough, and there was still a big gap with zhou Enlai in history.
However, in this film, there are not many shots of Zhou Enlai played by Jin Dong, and At that time, Jin Dong was relatively young, at least in terms of age, he met the needs of playing, but he still lacked the heat.
To tell the truth, Jin Dong's image is not suitable for interpreting anti-war films, but more suitable for interpreting urban dramas and the image of the domineering president.
Over the years, Jin Dong has also successfully found his own role positioning in these fields, and has gained the love of a large number of female fans.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="86" > movie "1939-En-Hui Hui Hometown" 1991</h1>
Zhou Enlai plays a six-year-old child
Many people say that the six-year-old child is the most unexpected Zhou Enlai actor, when the six-year-old child went out of the circle because of "Journey to the West", probably because he wanted to transform and boldly try new roles, he would have Zhou Enlai in "1939 - Enhui Back to his Hometown".
Few people know about this movie, let alone Zhou Enlai, who played a six-year-old child.
At first glance, I thought that the six-year-old child still had the charm of Zhou Enlai, but he would still play a drama, after all, the image of Sun Wukong had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The film tells the story of Zhou Enlai, who first revealed his identity in 1939, and returned to his hometown of Shaoxing for the first time to visit the tombs and worship his ancestors, preaching national unity, and igniting the patriotic enthusiasm of the people everywhere he went.
Interested audiences can watch this movie, much like a documentary, but also very interesting, look at the six-year-old children's version of Zhou Enlai, and this film won the first "Five One Project" award, the 12th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award and the second National Film Studio Outstanding Film Crew Selection.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="88" > TV series "Glory and Dreams" 2021</h1>
Zhou Enlai is played by Huang Xiaoming
The recently broadcast TV series "Glory and Dreams" received a good response, and what surprised the audience was that Zhou Enlai's young actor Huang Xiaoming had a serious string of dramas.
Although Huang Xiaoming's drama path is broad, it is mostly a love drama and an urban drama, and even if it is a costume drama, it is also the role of "cream boy". But in this movie, Huang Xiaoming tried the role of leader, which really made the audience feel greasy and always felt that something was missing.
Huang Xiaoming's image is generous and decent, and his appearance is outstanding, which is in line with Zhou Enlai's image, but the momentum still needs to be improved.
On the other hand, Zhou Enlai, played by Liu Jin, many people say that Liu Jin has played Zhou Enlai's eyes to the extreme, and carefully the audience can see that in the anti-war works in recent years, Zhou Enlai's middle-aged actors have almost been chartered by Liu Jin, and at least no one can surpass them now.
More than 20 years of character shaping, Liu Jin's image status in the hearts of the audience is unshakable, as long as you see Zhou Enlai in film and television works, you will think of Liu Jin, which shows that his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Liu Jin has been able to appear as Zhou Enlai for so many years, thanks to the movie "Long March", at that time he was already playing Zhou Enlai for the 9th time, at the film viewing meeting, experts gave full affirmation to Liu Jin's acting skills, and the eyes and image temperament added a lot of brilliance to the role.
Zhou Enlai, as one of the great men in Chinese history, wrote a legendary revolutionary story, which is the real reason why Liu Jin's image can be immortal.
As China's first foreign minister, Zhou Enlai brought peace and happiness to the Chinese people, and the reason why Liu Jin wanted to imitate Zhou Enlai so hard was that through his own interpretation, he wanted future generations to understand the significance of Zhou Enlai to China, never forget history, never forget the revolutionary ancestors.
