"Red Star Shines on China" Wang Pengkai as Mao Zedong
As the main actor of the film, the powerful actor Wang Pengkai is tall and handsome, full of aura, and is an "eye-catching" character at each press conference. It has been learned that as a sincere work to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the film "Red Star Shines on China" truly reproduces the story of the Chinese Communists during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who, under difficult conditions, still cared about the overall situation of the nation and persisted in the revolutionary struggle, showing the lofty faith and extraordinary style of Mao Zedong and other outstanding Communist Party members. Wang Pengkai, an actor who has played Mao Zedong in film and television works such as "Red Stream" and "Fujian Wind and Cloud", is his sixth role as Mao Zedong in "Red Star Shines on China". Playing such a great man so many times is not only an affirmation of his previous performances and recognition of his acting skills, but also makes him fully prepared for the role every time, distinguishing the difference between each role. This time, Wang Pengkai also carefully studied the script and the original work of the same name. He said in an interview: "The difference between this film is that it looks at Chinese history from the perspective of foreigners, objectively and truthfully shapes the image of Chairman Mao, and also very objectively shows that in such a severe era, the Chinese Communist Party can achieve victory, which is the choice of history and the choice of the people." At the same time, it made me understand what it means not to forget the original heart, keep in mind the mission, and continue to live and work like those revolutionary martyrs with the mood of "not forgetting the original heart"! In addition, Wang Pengkai also revealed that when the film was made, the 34-year-old deliberately gained 14 pounds in order to better interpret the image of the 43-year-old Mao Zedong to enhance his sense of age to fit the character. Such a move shows his professionalism and dedication!
The movie "Red Star Shines on China" is being released nationwide. Looking forward to Wang Pengkai's wonderful performance in the play, interpreting the positive energy of the times, and "burning" the big screen in summer!
