Stills of Ding Yongdai's "Crossing the Yalu River"
In "Crossing the Yalu River", the wonderful performance of the famous actor Ding Yongdai is obvious to all. The "Peng Dehuai" he portrayed has courage and strategy, strategizing, and has a bit of domineering in stubbornness, but also has a warm and delicate side.
Compared with Peng Zong portrayed by other special actors, Ding Yongdai's version of Peng Zong is more delicate, more flesh and blood, and vivid.
"Crossing the Yalu River" made Ding Yongdai popular in the country. What is less known is that after the end of the play, the old drama bone suffered from "role sequelae"...
Ding Yongdai has been practicing art for more than 30 years, and it is the first time to play "Peng Zong". Because many special actors have portrayed Peng Zong, he is quite stressed: worried about dragging the hind legs of the crew, worried about being spat on by the audience in the future.
Although Ding Yongdai did a lot of desk work before the scene began filming, he was still walking on thin ice.
Stills from "Crossing the Yalu River"
In "Crossing the Yalu River", Peng is always the male number one in the absolute sense, and there are quite a lot of scenes. If you don't act well, this role will be facialized and superficial. In order to create a flesh-and-blood Peng Zong, Ding Yongdai is meticulously crafted from all aspects such as image, demeanor, and eyes.
He also designed many physical movements himself, such as "Deng Hua" and "Hong Xuezhi" in the play to avoid enemy bombing, and other commanders asked him to enter the air raid shelter. At that time, Mr. Peng was studying the battle map, and he dropped his pen and did not want to go in, and as a result, he was taken away by the guards. The action of wrestling the pen is designed by Ding Yongdai, which fully reflects his bravery and stubbornness.
In the play, Ding Yongdai has a lot of tearful scenes. But the level of his tears is different, the connotation is different, and it is impressive.

For example, when he returned to China to report to Chairman Mao on the sacrifice of the martyr Mao Anying, he said: "Shore Ying, Shore Ying is a good boy, he works very diligently in the headquarters, and gets along well with everyone. Until the sacrifice, no one knew he was your son..."
The more Ding Yongdai spoke, the more emotional he became, his voice became more and more muffled and choked, and tears poured out of the corners of his eyes. Tears contain feelings of self-blame, heartache, and regret.
There is also a scene in which the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is victorious, and the volunteer army nails wooden stakes on the "38th Line." They nailed down thick stakes, each representing a martyr, and wrote their names on the stakes, so that these martyrs would always guard the peace here.
Ding Yongdai looked at the names of the martyrs on the stakes, remembered the smoke and flames of war, and the fierce battles, and his eyes were tears again, which were tears of heartbreak.
Ding Yongdai simply integrated himself with the character, he shed tears in the play, and he also cried after the play, almost every day. Sometimes it's stressful, sometimes it's touched by the actors, sometimes it's the plot.
On November 25, 2020, "Crossing the Yalu River" was completed, Ding Yongdai and his colleagues hugged and said goodbye one by one, and everyone shed tears.
This unforgettable filming years have witnessed their efforts and precipitated their friendship.
After leaving the crew, Ding Yongdai returned to his hometown in Inner Mongolia to rest. After more than 3 months of crew life, he was exhausted and slept at home for two days and two nights.
In the past, every time he returned home after filming, Ding Yongdai would accompany his wife to visit his parents-in-law and help her do housework after he finished sleeping. This time, Ding Yongdai looked haggard and sad, silent at home, and had no interest in anything. His wife asked him, "Are you sick?" Do you want to go to the hospital? ”
Ding Yongdai shook his head: "I'm not sick, I just feel very tired." ”

It turned out that because he was too deep into the play, Ding Yongdai could not walk out of the inner world of the character and suffered from "role sequelae". The tone of his speech, his demeanor, and the shadow of "Peng Zong".
And when he slept at night, his ears were filled with the roar of artillery fire, the roar of warhorses, and he had to wake up several times a night. Ding Yongdai's appetite was also not good, and he only ate one-third of what he had before at each meal. The wife thought he was seriously ill and was anxious.
Ding Yongdai's son Ding Ning studied abroad as a director in the United States, and due to the serious epidemic there, he returned to China to rest. As a director, Ding Ning knows that his father is too deep into the play and suffers from "role sequelae".
He comforted his mother: "Mom, don't worry, Dad hasn't stepped out of the role yet, after a while it will be fine, we have to give him more warmth and love." ”
Together with his mother, Ding Ning chatted with his father every day and guided him to tell the filming experience of the crew. Ding Yongdai often spoke, and his eyes became moist.

Ding Ning said: "Dad, you are an actor, and Mr. Peng is just the role you created. "Crossing the Yalu River" is finished, and it is time for you to say goodbye to the characters. Ding Yongdai thought thoughtfully.
After dinner, Ding Ning and her mother also accompanied their father out for a walk. Bathed in the moonlight, the family of 3 walked and talked, and Ding Ning told about the experience of being a director in the United States.
He told his father: "Domestic actors are more professional, more dedicated, and better to get along with. Dad, I am ready to go back to China for development in the future, and then there will be a suitable script, and our father and son will cooperate well. ”
Ding Yongdai has always disapproved of his son's development in the United States, and when he heard that he was preparing to return to China, his eyes lit up: "Well, I have long been looking forward to this day." ”
A few days later, Ding Yongdai's wife called relatives of her mother's family and in-laws to her home, and everyone and Ding Yongdai made dumplings and played mahjong together, and there was talk and laughter.
Under the guidance of his son and wife without a trace, half a month later, Ding Yongdai completely bid farewell to the "sequelae of the role".
On December 27, 2020, "Crossing the Yalu River" was broadcast in a set of prime-time hits on CCTV, and Ding Yongdai chased the drama at home every day, always paying attention to the evaluation of netizens on himself.
