If we don't act with our hearts, why can't we cry?
Like Premier Zhou Enlai, he came back to life. He imitated Premier Zhou's words and deeds exquisitely, entered the wood for three points, his acting skills exploded, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
This is the state banquet for the 25th anniversary of the National Day in 1974, and Premier Zhou presided over the record of receiving foreign guests. At that time, he was tortured by bladder cancer, the whole person was as thin as wood, obviously he could not stand steadily in pain, and pretended to be fine, afraid that the people would worry, and pretended to be calm to preside over state affairs.
This time, and for the last time, Premier Zhou appeared in public.
The following GIF is Wang Tiecheng's premier Zhou in the movie "Zhou Enlai", too similar, at first glance I thought it was a historical image, this acting is really amazing, textbook performance shocking.
In his later years, Premier Zhou was tormented by heart disease and bladder cancer, and had no less than 13 surgeries before and after, and at 9:57 a.m. on January 8, 1976, he stopped beating, a great man of the times, forever staying at the age of 78.
The legendary life of Premier Zhou has been filmed into many film and television dramas by posterity, of which Wang Tiecheng, Liu Jin, Sun Weimin, and the three actors are the most brilliant.
Wang Tiecheng was identified by the audience as the person who most resembled Premier Zhou because of the above clip. He once said: "If I don't act well, I will jump from the 9th floor." How can a person with such determination not act well?
During the filming of the "Zhou Enlai" movie, when Premier Zhou presided over the last time the conference scene, in order to achieve the most realistic effect, Wang Tiecheng lost weight for 8 months and released harsh words "If the performance is not good, I will jump from the 9th floor." He tried various weight loss methods, took medicine to lose weight, lost weight when hungry, ate only cucumbers and tomatoes, and his weight fell from 130 pounds.
At this time, he had a car accident and broke 6 ribs and was hospitalized. Fortunately, his weight, appearance and mental state became closer and closer to Premier Zhou, and finally the whole person lost more than 90 pounds. In order to present the most authentic Premier Zhou, half a life is almost gone.
He appeared with makeup, the staff on the scene, the people who played the waiter, and the masses who came to the scene instantly wet their eyes, applause, crying, choking, calling, sound into the ears, everyone could not calm down for a long time, everything seemed like yesterday, Premier Zhou had not left.
As soon as the movie was released, the people of the whole country rushed to see it, and achieved a box office achievement of 200 million, according to the ticket price of 5 cents at that time, which is equivalent to the present, it is to create a new peak at the box office.
He also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor with the movie "Zhou Enlai", and his efforts will really be seen, and his achievements will not disappoint anyone.
No one succeeds, it comes easily.
Wang Tiecheng, in 1961, graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama at the age of 25. At the age of 31, he was assigned to the Central Children's Art Theater as an actor, or a non-staff member, and ran a dragon set for 15 years.
On January 9, 1976, the whole country was in a state of grief, and the ten miles long street sent Premier Zhou.
Wang Tiecheng, I can't believe that the great Premier Zhou has left like this. He actively won the opportunity to participate in Premier Zhou's condolences. On that day, the temperature was very low, the wind was very cold, and there was a three-hour queue in the biting cold wind, freezing until the body stiffened, and it was also necessary to see the last side of the prime minister.
I admired Premier Zhou too much, and after participating in the condolences, he hung the portrait of the prime minister on the wall, thinking that in foreign movies, Lenin and Stalin were played like archetypals, and if I had the opportunity to play Premier Zhou in the future, it would be good.
His admiration and love for Premier Zhou seemed to have been seen by God.
After the first anniversary of Premier Zhou's death, Wang Tiecheng ushered in a turning point in his life.
At that time, the theater was rehearsing the drama "Turning Point", and the role of Zhou Enlai had not yet found a suitable actor, and the makeup artist of the crew recommended Wang Tiecheng and told the troupe leader that "this person is somewhat similar to Premier Zhou, and he can try it."
After getting dressed, trying on the scene for 15 minutes, the crowd did not say a word, silently poured him a glass of water, it was him, it was too similar.
The opportunity was not easy to come by, and Wang Tiecheng began to train himself strictly from appearance to temperament.
First reshape, then rebrand.
He compared his portrait with Premier Zhou's, and traced it in the mirror to see how to draw eyebrows, eyes, noses, and mouths to be more like. The nose and eyes are very similar, that is, their upper lips are short, and when they wear makeup, they draw a little longer.
Premier Zhou walked fast and lightly, but steadily, and in order to achieve the same effect, Wang Tiecheng sometimes walked twenty kilometers a day.
The rest is the accent, Premier Zhou is a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, his ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and his tongue is flat and tongue-twisting, but Wang Tiecheng is an authentic Beijinger. He used it for two months, imitating Premier Zhou's speech, "comrade", and he replaced it with "the same word".
18 days later, the first rehearsal of "Turning", he just opened the first sentence "Little comrade, you just blew the charge trumpet very loudly..." The audience began to shed tears, and the audience in the back row rushed to the front row, sticking their heads out, just to get closer to the "prime minister".
In the first row sat Premier Zhou's wife, Deng Yingchao, whose eyes were like torches, leaned forward, propped her hands on the table, and stared at Wang Tiecheng, who told him that "this is the wish of the people of the whole country, and the play is good", and also gave him a copy of "Zhou Enlai on Literature and Art".
The Premier Zhou he plays can be recognized by Deng Yingchao, which is the biggest reward for him.
In his lifetime, Wang Tiecheng collected more than 800 photos of the prime minister, dozens of picture books, more than a dozen books, and historical video materials, stacked together taller than him.
After filming "Zhou Enlai", he said with full sincerity in an interview: "When I played Premier Zhou, I really felt it out of my heart, and for this film, I paid all my heart and feelings, and it was made with tears." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Premier Zhou, played by Liu Jin, is known as "the best screen image (Premier Zhou)." </h1>
Since "Zunyi Conference", he has become a special actor, playing Premier Zhou in 20 film and television works, such as "Long March", "The Great Cause of The Founding of the People's Republic", "Yan'an Song", "Decisive Moment", "Zhou Enlai in Shanghai", "Lin Hai Snow Field" and so on. Even Premier Zhou's former assistant Li Qi personally called to offer condolences to him for bringing the young premier back to us, thank you very much.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Sun Weimin, who is the most unlike Premier Zhou in appearance, and it is too bumpy to be able to embark on a special actor. </h1>
In the early 1990s, the Liaoning Repertory Theatre's "Xi'an Incident" was about to start, but the male number one who played Premier Zhou fell ill, and Sun Weiming was temporarily pulled to save the scene.
In order to be able to perform smoothly, his premier Zhou unexpectedly received a response.
Then starred in "Begonia Still", a begonia, petals falling, endless mourning, inexhaustible heartfelt intestines. He has played Premier Zhou the most times, and in order to cooperate with Tang Guoqiang's schedule, he changed clothes back and forth every day, switching back and forth from 20 to 70 years old. Not only did he work hard as a makeup teacher, but it was also difficult to adjust Sun Weimin's psychological state back and forth, but he carried these things.
This least optimistic "prime minister" eventually became the peak of the plateau, overpowering everything with temperament.
He presented a Premier Zhou, who could still talk and laugh when walking on the edge of the cliff, and reflected the premier's calm and calm, wise and strategy in the details. From stage plays to film and television dramas, one move and one style, Sun Weimin has achieved the ultimate.
The most god-like Wang Tiecheng, the most handsome Liu Jin, the most arrogant Sun Weimin, three special actors, "can only play one role in a lifetime, will you feel regretful?" ”
The answer is: "No regrets, the greatest happiness in my life is to play this role."
The three special actors, as actors, their efforts are obvious to all, thank them for bringing Premier Zhou to the people again, I can only do my best to express my respect with words.
These powerful people who perform with their hearts have the responsibility, responsibility and principle, which is our pride, and they are the real idols.
