This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. For this unforgettable commemoration, a number of excellent film and television works have come out one after another, and the large-scale revolutionary historical theme TV series "Red Flag Long Roll West Wind", which is being broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, is one of the masterpieces. Set against the backdrop of the modern and contemporary revolutionary history of Shaanxi from 1927 to 1949, and based on the founders and revolutionary pioneers of the revolutionary base areas in the northwest, the drama passionately recreates those magnificent years. Among the many roles, Li Zhiyuan, the male number one played by young actor Zhang Su, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
The similarity between the role of "Li Zhiyuan" and the male protagonist in previous similar film and television dramas is that he is also a simple and impulsive big boy who has gradually grown into an excellent communist fighter after experiencing the baptism and tempering of many revolutions and major events, and his faith is supreme, for the country and the nation, he is willing to throw his head, spill his blood, and die without regret. The difference is that because of the setting of the plot, Li Zhiyuan has three fathers, two brothers, a first love girlfriend, and a wife in the play, and these people also have their own positions and principles. Over the years, few male protagonists in similar film and television dramas will face such complex and chaotic personal emotional relationships, so how he handles these relationships and how to choose has become a major attraction for this role.
For Zhang Su, it is not too difficult to play such a role as "Li Zhiyuan". Because since his debut, this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes has starred in many film and television dramas with similar themes: in the hit drama "Postman", he partnered Li Youbin to play the male number one Xu Zhongliang, interpreting the growth history of spy geniuses and shaping the Chinese version of "Rain Man"; in the major revolutionary historical drama "Beacon Liang Mountain", he is the brave and resourceful founding general Yang Yong, who interprets the anti-Japanese legend of General Yang Yong leading his comrades in the Luxi region; in the anti-war drama "Hero of the Yellow River", he is the hot-blooded boy Guan Feng. With eight hundred Shaanxi army generals to reproduce the heroic feat of bravely jumping the Yellow River... With such rich acting experience as a basis, he now starred in "Red Flag Rolling West Wind" to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a mastery, coupled with its positive and sunny image and temperament itself is very suitable for shaping the role of justice and awe, so in the war drama and action drama section of the play, he can be described as a heroic and fearless boy in every minute.
However, Zhang Su wants to play the role of "Li Zhiyuan", which is not so easy. Because this character not only has to sacrifice life and death to charge the battle and kill the enemy, but also needs to deal with more complex and chaotic personal emotional relationships as mentioned earlier. As a actor, if Zhang Su interprets it too hard, it will appear too heavy on the love of children and the righteousness of the family and the country; on the contrary, it will appear to lack humanity, so for him who is more shy and introverted in real life, it is also a big challenge.
What is surprising is that Zhang Su performed very well in "Red Flag Rolling West Wind" this time, showing the charm of "red idol". At the beginning of the series, he tried his best to show the youthful enthusiasm of Li Zhiyuan's small fresh meat period, worry-free and simple. For example, when asked what his beliefs are in the play, he replied that he could eat a piece of crystal cake every day, and he could share it with people he liked, and his intoxicated expression was very cute, and the opponent of his first love girlfriend Gao Zixuan (played by Fan Lingzi) Qingmei Bamboo Horse also sprinkled dog food and abused countless single dogs. With the development of the plot, Li Zhiyuan and Qin Huaiwen (played by Ji He) and Qin Huaiwu (played by Feng Bai) the three brothers gradually evolved from hardships and commons to brothers breaking up, Zhang Su will also pay attention to emotional "release" and "collection" in the performance to highlight the growth and change of the characters, that is, from the early entanglement and collapse, the heartbreak gradually changed to the iron-blooded toughness in the middle stage, the courage to move forward to the calm restraint in the later stage, focusing on the overall situation and the great righteousness of the family and the country first. What is most impressive is that during the Liberation War, when Li Zhiyuan bitterly took great justice to Qin Huaiwenxiao, the eldest brother who was already a high-ranking Kuomintang official, Zhang Su's eyes were firm and fearless, and he was upright from top to bottom, and his speech was loud and clear, which was particularly heartbreaking. As for the emotional drama between Li Zhiyuan and his wife Liang Dongmei (played by Lü Yi), Zhang Su also deals with Zhang Relaxed, not only the tenderness and sweetness of the two loves, but also the sense of responsibility and responsibility of being a good husband after marriage, the charm of a mature man, I believe it will fascinate countless female audiences and become the best candidate for the new "husband" in their minds.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Su does not only act in film and television dramas with revolutionary historical themes, he is actually extremely malleable. This year, he also has a new drama based on the urban emotional drama "Scenery Wedding", which is based on the novel of the same name by the wind, in which he will take off his military uniform and change into a suit to interpret the urban romantic love story. How it will perform, let's wait and see.
