On December 8, "I Am an Actor" ushered in the final issue, the first game Wang Yang against Tu Songyan, challenging the classic drama "The Gate of the Great House", Tu Songyan won, in the second game Han Xue against Song Yi, challenging Lu Yao's novel adaptation of the same name "Ordinary World", Han Xue won, the final showdown Han Xue against Tu Songyan, the two challenged the 1994 Xian Qiran directed "Western Chu Bawang", Han Xue's Yu Ji was unanimously recognized in appearance and performance, and finally won the championship.
In fact, the best performance in the last game of "Western Chu Bawang" is not Han Xue's Yu Ji, nor Tu Songyan's overlord, but Yu Ziqi, who assists Wang Luoyong's teacher. Xu Zheng said that Wang Luoyong was the first to break into Broadway, let him understand what is a shocking performance, and then Chen Kaige commented on his three [eighty less] each sentence is different, really a heart-stirring three shouts. Then Zhang Guoli also said that this is what our actors should learn from you, they have all come to the end, and the last crying voice is still coming out.
I believe that students who have watched "The Tiger Of the Army-Master Alliance" have learned his Zhuge Liang, a new cold version of Zhuge Liang, different from Tang Guoqiang's version, is simply a clear stream.
But we don't talk about these today, I want to discuss with you about the film "West Chu Bawang" challenged by Han Xue and Tu Songyan, they played the overlord and Yu Ji is really good, but "West Chu Bawang" is actually a classic commercial history blockbuster that has been ignored, the whole film is divided into upper and lower episodes, directed by Hong Kong director Xian Qiran, supervised by Zhang Yimou, the mainland, Bay Bay and Hong Kong have actors participating, which was a big production at the time, and it can also be regarded as a precedent for large-scale commercial costume dramas in the Chinese film industry. The name Xian Qiran may not be familiar to everyone, but he once filmed the "Three-Man World" series, and achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth.
Then executive producer Zhang Yimou, everyone is familiar with it, and later his "Hero" created a precedent for large-scale commercial films in the mainland, promoted the progress of the mainland film industry, and has always been a pioneer in the film industry.
Then the music is completed by Huang Xia, one of the four talents of Hong Kong, a musical ghost talent, a song "A Laugh in the Sea" is enough to prove its status. There are two versions of the theme song "Si Gui Fu", of which the Cantonese version is sung by Guan Zhilin, the Chinese version is sung by Gong Li, and Gong Li also sang the ending song "Hate This Life". Action design is by Asia's first martial arts director, Hong Kong gambling film mysterious hand Jiang Daohai, he is best at designing small actions, we have seen the "God of Gamblers", "God of Gamblers", "Gamblers", "Winner is King" series all have his credit, known as the biggest hero behind the Hong Kong gambling films.
Looking at the actors, in the mainland, Zhang Fengyi starred in Liu Bang, Gong Li starred in Lü Yan, Yu Hai starred in Xiang Liang, Jin Demao starred in Ji Bu, Xu Xiangdong starred in Xiang Zhuang, Yang Fan starred in Tian Rong, Mutu starred in Wang Li, and Zhang Xuehao starred in Zhang Handan. Then in Hong Kong, Lu Liangwei starred as Xiang Yu, Guan Zhilin starred as Yu Ji, Guan Haishan starred as Zhao Gao, Liu Xun starred as Fan Zeng, Xu Jinjiang starred in Zhong Liming (Liu Xun and Xu Jinjiang became famous in Hong Kong, so they were classified as Hong Kong actors), followed by The Bay Side, Jin Shixing played Zhang Liang, Wu Xingguo played Yu Ziqi, Zhang Shi starred in Qin II, Chen Songyong starred in Fan Duo, Ye Quanzhen starred as Liu Bang's servant, and Gu Baoming played Chu Huaiwang.
At the same time, it should be specially explained that Guan Zhilin, because of her relatively good relationship with director Xian Qiran, agreed to the director very early, did not know what role to play at first, and later told the director that she wanted to play Lu Lu. After Gong Li joined, said that he also wanted to play Lü Yan, director Xian Yuran did not know what to do for a while, and finally Zhang Yimou came forward to adjust, let Guan Zhilin play Yu Ji, it turned out that Zhang Yimou's arrangement was correct, Lü Yan was only suitable for Gong Li, Guan Zhilin was still suitable for beauty. At the same time, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li are also golden partners, and naturally know what role is suitable for her and which role she can play well.
Gong Li's Lü Yan can be said to be the most brilliant role in the whole film, one appears in order to escape, abandons his mother,And then helps Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to worship, and then approaches Yu Ji step by step and uses her, Liu Bang Zhang Liang discusses the military when she is also on the side to give advice, Liu Bang was shot after she immediately cut off the arrow, let Liu Bang stand up, and then left alone as a hostage, let Liu Bang escape. Gong Li's version of Lü Yangong was scheming, sharp and fierce, and personally felt that the later Lü Yan never surpassed her again.
There is also a more interesting setting in this film, that is, let Lü Yan have love for Xiang Yu, and also say that a man like Xiang Yu and which woman do not love it. Lu Liangwei's Xiang Yu is still more in line with the image of the overlord in everyone's mind, the typical beauty lover does not love Jiangshan, he is a man in the woman's mind, but he is not a man who owns the world. Lu Liangwei performed that kind of heroic heroism.
Look at Zhang Fengyi's Liu Bang, who is a villain who wants a sword and a woman. In fact, it is also good for Lu Liangwei and Zhang Fengyi to exchange each other, after all, Zhang Fengyi and Guan Zhilin have formed a CP in "Tang Chop the Murderer", which is still quite appropriate.
In addition to several protagonists, the supporting roles are also brilliant, such as Fan Zeng, the old master of Liu Xun, who is angry with Xiang Yu, and finally ends up with a tragic death in the suburbs, which is very sad. The two sentences that impressed me the most: The world is Liu Bang's world, and the world is your Lu Yan's world. What is the use of ten thousand gold and me, what is the price of life and me, and what does the Chu kingdom have to do with me. Old Master Liu Xun is worthy of a thousand faces, eunuchs can play well, and they can also shape good counselors.
There is also Jin Shijie's Zhang Liang, who did not show his strength in the early stage, and remembered the last sentence he said: the bird is exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, he is the real smart man. There is also Fan Duo, played by Chen Songyong, who performed a different taste and saved Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, because he said that he had helped Yu Ji. Teacher Xu Jinjiang's Zhong Liming would go to the battlefield even if his legs were lame, and Wu Xingguo's Yu Ziqi did not want to embarrass the overlord and committed suicide. Of course, there was also Ye Quanzhen, who was surprised by the glimpse, which was really beautiful.
The plot of "Western Chu Overlord" is basically an assembly line, containing various major events that we are familiar with, such as the Battle of the Giant Deer, the Feast of Hongmen, the Embattled Song, the Overlord Farewell, the Self-Destruction of Wujiang, etc., which is called an epic work. The war scene was already magnificent at that time, and the thick and simple photography style was also a major feature, which was an excellent work overall, compared to the later "Hongmen Feast", I don't know how much advanced. At present, the Douban score of the upper part of "West Chu Bawang" is 7.0, the lower part is 7.1 points, personally I feel that it is low, at least 7.5 or more, what do you think?
