He played the actor who played Premier Zhou Enlai the most times, and since he stepped into the film and television industry, he has played the role of Zhou Enlai in more than 70 works. Recently, he came to "Light and Shadow Star Podcast" again to share his film and television works with us, and he is our old friend Liu Jin.
The last time we were a guest, Mr. Liu Jin brought us the revolutionary historical film "Zhou En's Return to Yan'an" directed and starred by him, which was his first film director.
In order to conform to the character image in the film and show the state of Premier Zhou's illness in his later years, he insisted on losing weight for four or five months, losing 28 pounds, and finally reached the thin state when Premier Zhou returned to Yan'an in 1973.
As an actor who has played the image of Premier Zhou Enlai for 26 years, Liu Jin said that on the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, it is his greatest honor and pride to be able to present gifts to the party through this drama.
Liu Jin: After the broadcast of "Armageddon", in addition to some old comrades, there are many young viewers who are also watching, and most of the ratings are young audiences helping us to top.
In the exchange with us, the audience said that "Armageddon" for them, used to be very rational historical knowledge, this time on the screen, the character history inside is real and vivid, not only the highlight moments of the leaders, the small characters in the play also have the aura of heroes.
This drama allows them to see the hard-won happiness of today,They have a sense of history and a sense of pride in the nation, and I think this is a main theme film that brings the audience the most enlightening place.
In the National Day film "Changjin Lake", which has repeatedly achieved good results in the National Day file, Teacher Liu Jin once again played Premier Zhou Enlai, and he described this war giant film that can be called the largest investment, the longest shooting time and the largest number of cast members in the history of Chinese cinema, which he described as "very shocking and very interesting.". I hope that everyone can pay attention to the wonderful performance of Teacher Liu Jin in the film.
Next, Teacher Liu Jin also has a historical drama film "Founding General Shuai Awarded 1955" is about to be released, and the film "Tianbao" is currently in preparation, hoping that everyone can support it more.
In August, "Self-cultivation, Self-discipline, Standing up for the Soul - Symposium on the Construction of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Literary and Art Workers of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" was held in Beijing, at which Teacher Liu Jin spoke as a representative of artists, combined with the reality of his work, he talked about the "three wants" and "three don'ts" of literary and art workers.
First, we must hone our skills and do not pursue false traffic.
The second is to serve the masses and not to be slaves to the market.
Third, we must practice character and not step on all kinds of red lines.
Liu Jin: As an actor, when we were in school, the teacher taught us that we must first learn to be a good person, and then we can do a good job as an actor, which is what we now call virtue and art.
For myself, acting is actually acting out my own worldview, outlook on life, and values. As an actor, after ten years of work on stage and offstage, you must learn your skills well, temper your skills, and experience your character.
As literary and art workers, we must take root in life and the people, and the orientation of our creation is to take the people as the center. Telling the Story of China well and serving the people is the direction we have pursued all our lives.
For the people's beloved Premier Zhou, the former teacher Liu Jin was a role, but now he has become the inheritor and promoter of the spirit of Zhou Enlai, he believes that this is his responsibility, but also the audience's expectation of him.
I hope that the audience and friends can understand the national spirit and the spirit of the times from The performance of Teacher Liu Jin, and do a good job as the builder and successor of the new era.
