As a classic of domestic anti-war film and television dramas, the success of "Bright Sword" is inseparable from the clever shaping of dramatic characters. To create a character that is vivid and vivid and leaves a deep impression on the audience, it is inseparable from the actors who are responsible for their duties.
▲ "Bright Sword" starred, Li Yunlong's actor - Li Youbin
For example, the successful portrayal of the image of The Chinese tough guy soldier represented by Li Yunlong, the protagonist of "Bright Sword", is due to the true color of his actor Li Youbin, and even his late success - decades of literary and artistic performance accumulation.

It can be said that it is the tempering of the years and the deep understanding of China's red culture that made this man who was more than half a hundred years old at the time create a classic screen image of Chinese soldiers and let people truly remember him.
▲ The famous Japanese villain Yamamoto Kazuki Daisaku in "Bright Sword"
However, the charm of "Bright Sword" lies not only in faithfully reflecting the living conditions of the Chinese anti-war soldiers and civilians, but also in its truthful portrayal of the "villain"--the Japanese army, as the initiator of the war, also endured the cruelty and suffering of the war. One of the most famous villains may not be the commander of the Japanese special forces, Daisa Yamamoto.
▲ Led the troops and prepared to sneak attack Yamamoto at the headquarters of the Independent Regiment
As a ruthless Japanese soldier, Kazuki Yamamoto demonstrated superb tactical qualities, successfully sneaking into the village of Zhao Jiayu, the rear of the independent regiment, at a slight cost; at the same time, he also showed unusual ruthlessness, slaughtering innocent villagers after winning the battle, just to kill the mouth.
▲As a "foreigner" who studied at the German Special Forces School
Although he was arrogant, he had to submit to the seniority system of the Japanese army
However, Yamamoto, who is also a Japanese soldier who advocates special anti-guerrilla warfare, is an unpopular outlier in the Japanese army, and even has to rely on actual combat to prove himself. And his dying struggle in Ping'an County, not hesitating to lay down the dignity of a soldier and rely on women to blackmail Li Yunlong, is not the embodiment of his unwillingness and anger of "dying before he can get out of the school".
It can be said that if Li Yunlong is the epitome of the spirit of the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and people who "are not afraid of violence and dare to show their swords," then Kazuki Yamamoto is the embodiment of the crazy cannon fodder of the officers and men of the Japanese army in World War II for the so-called "gamble of national fortunes."
Similarly, the portrayal of the sad and hateful role of Kazuki Yamamoto is inseparable from the efforts of the actors he plays. And this actor is Lu Peng. For a long time, because the role of "Yamamoto Daisa" left too deep an impression on Chinese audiences, many people thought that he was played by an authentic Japanese. However, when I opened the list of actors, the name "Lu Peng" was obviously a Chinese name.
▲ Lu Peng, an actor dressed in civilian clothes, does look very much like a Japanese at first glance
Lu Peng, born in 1968, although his appearance is indeed a bit Japanese, he is more than one meter and eight meters tall, and he is a typical Chinese man. If you want to say why Lu Big Brother got the role of "Yamamoto Daisa" at that time, in addition to his appearance, he also has his language talent.
▲ Lu Peng while teaching at the school
Before his debut, Lu Peng was an ordinary teacher, but it happened that the subject he taught was Japanese, and he had been teaching for 12 years at that time. The advantage of language allows Lu Peng to inject emotions into his fluent Japanese, and with his sinister expression, the image of the grass-roots officers and soldiers of the Japanese army can be displayed.

Of course, like Li Youbin, in order to create a successful artistic image, Lu Peng is also inseparable from the precipitation of performance experience. However, as an actor who "went halfway out of the house", Lu Peng's acting career is more academic. In the transformation from a teacher to an actor, Lu Peng relied on his academic potential and obtained a doctorate degree from the Beijing Normal Film Academy by learning the knowledge of acting, which can be called the most highly educated "devil" actor in "Bright Sword".
▲ Lu Peng has also played a positive role
But the total feeling is very strange, funny
The result of the synthesis of performance theory knowledge and on-site practice is the successful shaping of the Japanese military role of "Yamamoto Kazuki Daisa", the realism of the acting skills, and the temperament in place, which ultimately deceives the audience.
Another well-known Japanese "professional household" is Yang Qingwen.

His most famous character is also from Bright Sword, the Japanese cavalry commander Kuroshima Morita who surrounded and annihilated the Cavalry Company of the Independent Regiment during the sweep. Although the character only appeared for a few minutes, it vividly demonstrated the Japanese army's reverence for such a strong warrior as the cavalry company.
▲ Kuroshima Morita played by Yang Qingwen
Yang Qingwen's Japanese army "professional household" road is very similar to Lu Peng, first the appearance is a bit "Showa Fan", and then he knows Japanese, it should be noted that Uncle Yang's Japanese is self-taught when he is a driver. In 2003, when he was working as a transport driver for the crew of "Bright Sword", Yang Qingwen, who was good at Japanese, was discovered by the director because of the needs of the role, and he dramatically began his career as an actor.
Of course, since there are Chinese actors who play the Japanese army, there are naturally Japanese actors who play the Japanese army. Since the reform and opening up, with the development of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges, many Japanese actors have also come to China to participate in the role of the Japanese army.
▲Koji Yano Chirateru
One of the most well-known to Chinese audiences is Koji Yano. And his famous work in China is the well-known "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" TV series.
▲ The classic role played by Koji Yano - Captain Saito
Among them, the classic role of "Captain Saito" played by him can be said to have left a lot of "childhood shadows" for many young friends. In addition, this Japanese friend also starred in more than 20 anti-war TV series such as "Sniper", "Special Warfare Pioneer", "Big Knife" and so on, which can be called the "Taijun Brother" in the anti-war films!

▲ Nagahide Asano, who starred in "Snow Leopard"
▲ Keiichi Yamazaki, who starred in "Borrowing a Gun"
Japanese actors such as Hiroshi Tsukasa, Nagahide Asano, and Keiichi Yamazaki are also very famous for their roles in the Japanese army, and due to space limitations, they will not be described one by one.
The picture above is a once rumored photo of Yano returning home and being beaten by the right wing, but it was actually left over from the filming. However, after the "Diaoyu Island Incident", the careers of Japanese actors such as Yano in China were once under great pressure.
As a historical period of special significance for China and Japan, the sensitivity and difficulty of the role of the Japanese army are self-evident, which not only tests the acting skills and temperament of the actors, but also tests the correctness of the actors' personal views on history, especially the Japanese actors. You must know that behind their performance, they are also under the pressure of domestic public opinion. Would they have been willing if it weren't for the reverence for history and the love of art, just for a salary?

Above the screen, let us remember the hateful and pathetic role they play, and off-screen, don't forget to be grateful for their sweat and dedication.
