Directed by Battle and starring Tang Guoqiang, Xu Wenguang, Wang Wufu and Guo Lianwen, the major revolutionary historical drama "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" has been completed, which is one of the key tribute dramas for the centenary of the founding of the Party and one of the 21 tribute dramas recommended by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
To be precise, "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" is the TV drama version of "Decisive Victory Moment", which tells the story of Chairman Mao leading the CPC Central Committee from Xibaipo to Xiangshan from Xibaipo to "enter Beijing to catch the examination" after the peaceful liberation of Peiping in 1949, liberating all of China, and preparing for the construction of a new China.
Movie "Decisive Moment"
Similar to the movie "Decisive Moment", the TV series "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" is still starring Tang Guoqiang and other special actors, almost the original team.
However, Zhou Enlai's special actor Liu Jin did not participate in the TV series "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong", he focused on the TV series "Armageddon", replaced by the "non-special" actor Xu Wenguang.
Most viewers may not know which one it is, but when they see these few stills, everyone knows.

Yuan Shao of the costume drama "New Three Kingdoms" directed by Gao Xixi.
Gao Xixi played the eunuch Zhao Gao in the costume historical drama "The Legend of Chu Han".
Xu Wenguang, who is now 60 years old, is one of the powerful actors in the show business circle, a national first-class actor, and the above is his representative work.
In addition, Xu Wenguang also participated in film and television works such as "Blood Battle Long Sky" and "City of Warriors", which has a certain status in the hearts of the audience.
In 2019, Xu Wenguang created the image of the great Zhou Enlai in the movie "Hailindu", and the just-finished "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" belongs to his second film and television work to play a great man.
In fact, actor Xu Wenguang's "career" is more brilliant than his acting experience.
He is the chairman of the board of directors of the Film and Television Company of the National Drama Theatre of China, the director of the Actors Center, the vice president of the Actors Committee of the China Federation of Radio and Television Organizations, and a member of the China Dramatists Association, the Television Artists Association, and the China Film Artists Association.
It may also be this "position convenience" that gives Xu Wenguang the opportunity to play the great Zhou Enlai.
In the movie "Hailindu", Xu Wenguang played the role of Zhou Enlai is not much, he can imitate Zhou Enlai through actions such as "curved arms", and some emotional expressions are also in line with the temperament of the character.
"Fragrant Mountain Leaves Are Red"
The role of Zhou Enlai in "Fragrant Mountain Leaf Zhenghong" accounts for a large proportion, and there are many plays with special actors such as Tang Guoqiang, which is not a small challenge for Xu Wenguang, who is currently in the imitation stage.

Judging from the materials released by the cast members, Xu Wenguang's role as Zhou Enlai on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China has some violations. First of all, the age gap is relatively large, Zhou Enlai in the background of the play is only about 51 years old, and the actor Xu Wenguang is already 60 years old, and the old state is inevitable; in addition, the facial features of actor Xu Wenguang are different from the role, to put it bluntly, the gap between the appearance of Zhou Enlai and Zhou Enlai is too large.
However, there are countless similar ordinary actors to great actors in the show business circle, and the most well-known one is Tong Ruixin.
Tong Ruixin
Probably mentioned by name, most viewers said they didn't know. His acting career has a high starting point, and he is one of the royal male actors of Qiong Yao drama, and he starred in the Republic of China love drama "The Ghost Husband of Plum Blossom Three Alleys".
However, since then, Tong Ruixin has refused the invitation of Qiong Yao drama again, concentrated on studying various roles, enriching his own drama path, and also starred in many film and television dramas, but the popularity of the work is average. However, Tong Ruixin's "career" is relatively smooth, and he is currently the president of the Shanghai Film Performing Arts Association and the head of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe.
Tong Ruixin began to play Chairman Mao in the war drama "Long March Division", and then starred in the movies "Zunyi Conference" and "Unforgettable Years" and other works, and gradually appeared in the audience's sight as a special actor.
At present, in the centenary of the founding of the party, Tong Ruixin played the middle-aged Mao Zedong in "Glory and Dreams".
To tell the truth, Tong Ruixin has not received enough recognition as a special actor, and his performance is similar to Tang Guoqiang, but he has not received Tang Guoqiang's "true biography".
From the positive side, it is understood that Xu Wenguang, Tong Ruixin and other actors are willing to play the leaders of great people out of respect for the great people, and want to present the glorious image of the great people for the audience through their own performances, which is worth affirming;
But on the other hand, they have a certain status in the show business, especially with many titles and the opportunity to touch such roles. In other words, they also want to enrich their resumes by playing great leaders, break the bottleneck of middle-aged careers, and obtain new breakthroughs.
These are all understandable, but the role of the leader of the great man is different from "Ding Yizhen" and "Zhao Gao", and it is not something that any actor can control, so the actors who play the great man in major revolutionary historical dramas cannot choose to play children's plays, otherwise the significance of the existence of special actors such as Liu Jin is not great.
