For many viewers who often watch revolutionary dramas, Tang Guoqiang's role as Chairman Mao and Liu Jin's role as Premier Zhou seems to be a foregone conclusion, but when the TV series "The People's Choice" was casting, it boldly chose Tong Ruixin and Sun Weimin to pick up the great liang to play the great man, which aroused the attention of many netizens, and everyone was wondering whether without Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin, this drama could still be as hot as "Armageddon" after broadcast.
"The People's Choice" tells the story of a series of revolts made by the communists led by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the face of the Kuomintang's provocations and oppression. In order to obtain a hard-won peace, Chairman Mao was not afraid of life and death, and went to Chongqing alone to negotiate, in exchange for a short period of peace. However, it was not long before the Kuomintang side tore up the contract, and Chairman Mao and others realized that the short-lived peace could not hide the Wolf Ambitions of the Kuomintang, so Chairman Mao resolutely confronted it and commanded the three major battles, bringing long-term peace and light to the people.
Playing Chairman Mao in the play is the actor Tong Ruixin, who debuted for starring in the movie "The Strange Affair of Jiangcheng" and became famous for it. Tong Ruixin has always given the impression of being powerful and low-key, until after the broadcast of "Big House Gate 2", the audience really noticed how superb his acting skills were, even if he performed on the same stage with Chen Baoguo, Si Qinggaowa and other old drama bones, he did not fall behind at all.
Tong Ruixin is not a professional special actor, but he has also played Chairman Mao many times and has a lot of experience. As early as the filming of "The Long March Division", he had already played Chairman Mao, but it was not Sun Weimin who played Premier Zhou at that time, but Liu Jin. The performance of both of them in the play is excellent, this time Tong Ruixin and Sun Weimin partnered, and the new combination made the audience look forward to it.
Sun Weimin is one of the most recognized special actors of Premier Zhou, who has played the role of Premier Zhou in many film and television dramas such as "Diplomatic Storm" and "Begonia Still", leaving a very deep impression on the audience. Sun Weimin debuted at the age of 70, and his first role was the role of Premier Zhou in "Seven Battles and Seven Victories", and then he started his career as a special actor, playing Premier Zhou dozens of times.
Although the actors who play Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou can be replaced, there is one role that cannot be changed, that is, Deng Yingchao, played by Huang Wei, because she is currently the only female special actor. In "The People's Choice", Sun Weimin and Huang Wei worked together again to play Zhou Enlai and his wife, making many viewers dream back to "Begonia Is Still".
Different actors playing the same role will inevitably be compared by the audience, which is actually an incentive for actors. When Zhang Xinyu starred in the role of Daji, she also encountered many viewers pouring cold water, complaining that she was far worse than Wen Bixia. However, Zhang Xinyu did not shrink back from this, but became more and more frustrated and courageous, deducing another style of daiji. Perhaps it is her tenacity that has touched the audience, the response after the broadcast of the drama is still good, Zhang Xinyu's career has also improved, and she has also received endorsements from the online game Blue Moon.
Although Tong Ruixin and Sun Weimin are not as popular as Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin, their acting skills are not bad, so audiences who are accustomed to watching the Tang and Liu combinations may wish to look at the new combination. Do you think "The People's Choice" can still be fired without the blessings of Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin?
