"Meritorious Service"
On September 26, 2021, a chronological biopic drama "Meritorious Service", which tells the story behind the recipients of the Order of the Republic, was simultaneously broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, Oriental Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV, and also broadcast simultaneously on Youku.
"Meritorious Service" is directed by Zheng Xiaolong, Mao Weining, Shen Yan, Lin Nan, Yang Wenjun, Kang Honglei, Yan Jiangang, yang Yang as the unit directors, Wang Lei, Lei Jiayin, Guo Tao, Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Xin, Tong Dawei, Zhou Xun, and Huang Zhizhong, who serve as the protagonists of the eight units of "Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian", "Unsung Hero Yu Min", "Obscure Zhang Fuqing", "Huang Xuhua's Deep Dive", "Shen Jilan's Proposal", "Sun Jiadong's Heavenly Road", "Tu Youyou's Gift", "Yuan Longping's Dream", and "Yuan Longping's Dream".
So, which of the eight units is the best shot, and which protagonist has a better and better interpretation?
"Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian" Wang Lei
"Meritorious Service" broke through 9.0 as soon as it opened on Douban, all thanks to Wang Lei and "Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian", and Wang Lei also really brought to life a combat hero Li Yannian who was able to write and nengwu; even the whole tense and urineless war scene was filmed more bloody than the blockbuster "Changjin Lake" of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the same period.
Li Yannian was the instructor of the company, with first-class combat mobilization ability, and his prestige in the company was even higher than that of the company commander; in battle, he was also a pioneer, and he could rush to the front and defend to the end.
Wang Lei's interpretation lets the audience know that a real hero is not only heroic himself, but also can lead his comrades around him to be heroic.
"Unsung Hero Yu Min" Lei Jiayin
Yu Min is really a great unsung hero, because many people only know the father of China's hydrogen bomb after watching "Meritorious Service", and some people know him after he was awarded the Order of the Republic in 2019, because Yu Min's name and identity were kept secret before 1988.
However, even if we know that he is the father of China's hydrogen bomb, we do not understand his outstanding contribution to the theoretical exploration of hydrogen bomb technology.
In the play, Lei Jiayin's performance is low-key and introverted, and the waves are not alarming; through Lei Jiayin's interpretation, we see a super genius in technology, who is also a simple nerd in life.
The greater, the more ordinary.
"Obscure Zhang Fuqing" Guo Tao
In the play, Guo Tao's old man makeup is really amazing, and he can't recognize the appearance of the actor himself. Guo Tao also uses disfiguring acting skills to magically combine a special combat hero who has repeatedly made battle achievements with an obscure ordinary old man.
Guo Tao is a kind of generous and easy-going smile from beginning to end, which not only strengthens the simple quality of the character, but also gives people a simple feeling that being a good person for a lifetime is to keep smiling for a lifetime.
In fact, such an extraordinary thing made this Zhang Fuqing, who looked ordinary, quietly do it, and even his own children did not know his great merits.
"Huang Xuhua's Deep Dive" Huang Xiaoming
This unit brings together the most slots in the whole drama, and the spearhead is directed at Huang Xiaoming, which seems to have been expected by many people.
Huang Xiaoming is the first two-time Golden Rooster Award film emperor in history, so he is also the C position in the poster; but the idol aura on his body still makes people distrust his acting skills. Therefore, there are always people who focus on him to find faults, ignore his strengths, amplify his shortcomings, and somewhat unfair to him.
However, this unit, in the whole "Meritorious Service", is really not excellent.
In addition to the actors' performances, there are too many bits and pieces of family life in the plot, which will give the audience the illusion that the research of nuclear submarines is too easy.
"Shen Jilan's Proposal" Jiang Xin
In the film and television industry, Jiang Xin's strong body is very prominent; therefore, for the role of Shen Jilan, she not only tanned a few numbers, but also deliberately lost weight.
Shen Jilan, played by Jiang Xin, is originally a hard-working and simple peasant, capable and courageous and bold, which is indeed very suitable for Jiang Xin; those grooves on her figure before are all the highlights of the role here.
Compared with other Republic Medal recipients, either combat heroes or great scientists, Shen Jilan is really too ordinary, and he can be selected by positive consciousness and enthusiasm.
Jiang Xin's interpretation shows the energy of that fire real and vivid.
"Sun Jiadong's Heavenly Road" Tong Dawei
The casting of the whole drama of "Meritorious Service" is very rigorous, and the combination of Tong Dawei and Sun Li is very close to the character archetype in terms of image temperament.
In this unit, big figures such as Qian Xuesen and Marshal Nie Rongzhen also appeared, which increased the point of view and also distracted the light of the protagonist. Tong Dawei's appearance design is very clever, from childhood to adult dreams; then in the class of translating for Soviet experts, he was praised by experts with excellent strength, and the image of the character was instantly erected.
The kind of strength that Tong Dawei showed was not convinced and did not accept defeat, and indeed had the temperament of daring to challenge authoritative scientists.
"Tu Youyou's Gift" Zhou Xun
As a three-material film queen of the Golden Rooster Award, the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award, Zhou Xun's acting skills have always stood firmly; therefore, the "Gift of Tu Youyou" starring her has also been highly anticipated.
Tu Youyou, played by Zhou Xun, did give people a feeling of being bright in the eyes: it was really too rigid!
Because of the particularity of the era in which he lived, while engaging in scientific research work, he was disturbed by many external factors, and there was often a situation in which laymen guided insiders. In the face of those high-ranking laymen, Tu Youyou did not give face at all, and every time he used his profession to crush and open his mouth, so that the audience could see the integrity and temper of a rigorous scientist.
"Yuan Longping's Dream" Huang Zhizhong
The entire "Meritorious Service" has been completed in early 2021, and by the time Yuan Longping died on May 22, the audience already knew that Huang Zhizhong played Yuan Longping and personally visited Yuan Lao before filming.
So the audience has high hopes for this unit.
Through this unit, the audience learned that Yuan Lao was originally an expert in the study of sweet potatoes, and he cultivated a 17-kilogram sweet potato in the 1960s; he also knew the reasons why Yuan Lao turned to study rice, and more understood the pressure and tribulations that Yuan Lao endured to study hybrid rice.
Because the time span of the story is 60 years, Huang Zhizhong's main groove point is that he looks too old when he is young, but his acting skills are very good.
After the broadcast of "Meritorious Service", although the "Li Yannian" unit has the advantage of preconceptions, it is indeed a good reputation for the whole drama. This unit does not attempt to unfold the protagonist's great life, but focuses on several consecutive battles, and the story seems more complete.
Moreover, Wang Lei, who plays Li Yannian, has the lowest popularity and curry position compared with the protagonists of several other units in the whole play. Therefore, "Li Yannian" can make the first shot, and it has become the most acclaimed unit, which is definitely a quality victory.
The reputation of the "Yu Min" and "Sun Jiadong" units is also good, largely due to the excellent performance of ni ni and Sun Li, the two heroines, and there is such a virtuous internal help behind the great scientist, which makes the audience more assured.
The reputation of the "Tu Youyou" unit is indeed as expected by the audience, mainly relying on Zhou Xun's acting skills; the "Yuan Longping" unit has the same problem as the "Huang Xuhua" unit, that is, the supporting actress makes people play, and it is quite difficult to play a student at the age of 40.
Now, "Meritorious Service" as a whole has reached 9.1 points, so there is no need to find which is the worst unit.
