With the changes of the times, the image of our great leader Chairman Mao has been continuously inherited and interpreted on the screen. From Tang Guoqiang in the early stage to Hou Jingjian today, they have all successfully shaped the image of this great man of history in their own way. So, which one do you like better than Gu Yue's interpretation?
Back then, Gu Yue successfully created a lifelike image of Chairman Mao with her superb acting skills and deep understanding of the role. His performance not only moved the audience, but also made Li Ne and other Chairman Mao's relatives sigh endlessly.
His superb acting, vivid image, let people seem to see that great leader back to our side.
However, the times are progressing and art is developing. Hou Jingjian, as a new generation of actors, also successfully took over this important task. In his own way, he interpreted a younger and more vivid image of Chairman Mao. His performance was full of passion and vitality, allowing people to see Chairman Mao's elegant demeanour and charm in his youth.
Of course, both Gu Yue and Hou Jingjian present us with a three-dimensional and vivid image of Chairman Mao. Their performances have their own advantages and characteristics. We can't say which one is better, we can only say which one is more in line with our aesthetic and preferences.
Chairman Mao on the screen: who will take over from Gu Yue to Tang Guoqiang?
When the dust of history settles, the figure of a great man is eternal on the screen. Since the ancient moon left us in 2005, the deeply rooted image of "Chairman Mao" seems to have faded. Soon after, however, Tang Guoqiang took over the task and became a new generation of "Chairman Mao". For his interpretation, the audience's comments are varied, mixed praise and criticism.
Time flies, Tang Guoqiang is no longer that high-spirited actor. The traces of time left a mark on his face, and his inability to play the chairman gradually emerged. Viewers began to worry about whether the image of the great man who once inspired countless people would disappear from the screen.
Just then, a group of young actors such as Hou Jingjian, Wang Renjun and Liu Chenglin came to the fore one after another. They are expected to continue to inherit the image of great men on the screen. However, are these young actors really qualified for the role? Can they show the unique temperament and charm of Chairman Mao?
Looking back on the interpretation of the ancient moon, it seems that the respect and affection for the great man is still fresh in my mind. Now, can these young actors resonate with the audience again? How will they face this huge challenge?
The image of "Chairman Mao" on the screen is changing all the time, but the respect and memory for the great man will never change. Whether it is Gu Yue, Tang Guoqiang or Hou Jingjian, they are all paying tribute to the great man in their own way. And we, as viewers, are also looking forward to seeing that familiar figure again on the screen, the image of a great man who has inspired us countless times.
On September 9, 1976, it was a day that broke the hearts of all Chinese people. Chairman Mao, the great founder of New China and our guide, suddenly closed his eyes forever. At that moment, all over the world, north and south, all immersed in deep sorrow. The sky seems to be covered with a black coat, and the hearts of the people of the whole country are shrouded in a thick haze.
In this context, in order to let the story of the great man continue to spread, in order to let more people feel the elegant demeanor of Chairman Mao through the screen, an unprecedented "great man special actor" search has been launched across the country. Among the many actors, talented artists such as Li Kejian and Zhang Keyao stand out, but the most eye-catching one is an ordinary person named Gu Yue.
Speaking of Gu Yue, he is really a dark horse in this selection. Before that, he had never set foot in show business, or even learned the basic skills of acting. But it was such a seemingly inconspicuous man who was recognized by Marshal Ye Jianying and personally asked him to play Chairman Mao.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar. People are talking about: where on earth is this ancient moon sacred? How could he be favored by Marshal Ye Jianying? However, when Gu Yue first appeared on the screen in the image of Chairman Mao, all doubts and speculation dissipated.
Look at his manner, manner, and tone of voice, which is simply a vivid reappearance of Chairman Mao! The audience was deeply moved by his performance, as if they had returned to the days of burning passion. For a time, Gu Yue became the spokesman of Chairman Mao in people's minds. When Chairman Mao was mentioned, his lifelike image first came to mind.
Gu Yue's success is not accidental, but the result of his deep understanding of the role and his dedication to the performance. He was not bound by his own zero foundation, but bravely challenged himself, transcended himself, and finally achieved a legend.
Gu Yue and Zhang Keyao: chairman Mao complex behind Special Actors
Imagine standing in front of the mirror and shaving the fluff off your forehead first thing in the morning, just to get closer to the image of that great man. This is Gu Yue, the daily life of the actor who presented us with a lifelike "Chairman Mao" on the screen.
When she first received the task of playing Chairman Mao, Gu Yue knew very well that the similarity in appearance was only the foundation, and the real challenge was charm. As a result, he began an almost draconian self-transformation: adjusting the hairline, pulling teeth, and even imitating Chairman Mao's behavior and habits in life.
But Gu Yue knows that in order to truly resemble each other, it is not enough to rely solely on the imitation of appearance. Immersed in Chairman Mao's world, he flipped through a large number of books, personally went to the local area to experience life, learned Chairman Mao's style of writing, and internalized the thoughts and spirit of this great man.
Years of efforts have not been in vain. In 1981, when Gu Yue first appeared on the screen in the image of Chairman Mao, the charm and elegant demeanor moved countless audiences. In the following 27 years, he played Chairman Mao 84 times and became the irreplaceable "Chairman Mao" in people's minds.
However, in the world of special actors, Gu Yue is not alone. Zhang Keyao, who is as famous as him, also has a deep "Chairman Mao" complex. As early as 1976, Zhang Keyao began to play Chairman Mao on the drama stage and played it more than a dozen times in a row. His performance is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, allowing people to see different interpretations of the same role by different actors.
Both Gu Yue and Zhang Keyao showed us a vivid and real image of Chairman Mao in their own way. Their efforts and efforts not only let us see the elegant demeanor of the great man, but also let us feel the actors' awe and love for the role. This complex may be the driving force for them to present a classic image again and again on the screen.
Tang Guoqiang: the Actor Road of Mao Zedong in dispute
When it comes to which actor plays Mao Zedong in the film and television circle is the most controversial, Tang Guoqiang's name always comes to mind. Although many people affirm his acting talent, there are also voices who question his acting as being too deliberately imitative and seemingly lacking some natural charm.
Before Tang Guoqiang embarked on the acting career of Chairman Mao, he had left his footprints in many film and television works. This makes some viewers wonder whether he is qualified for the role of a historical giant when they see him turn into the actor of Mao Zedong.
Tang Guoqiang in the film and television works is fluent in Mandarin and looks solemn, as if trying to depict the serious image of Chairman Mao incisively and vividly. However, this has also attracted some criticism for him, with some audiences saying that his performance is too single and lacks Chairman Mao's multifaceted display.
However, it is undeniable that Tang Guoqiang's performance style is completely different from the image of "Chairman Mao" created by Gu Yue and other actors. Especially after Gu Yue and other actors passed away, Tang Guoqiang gradually strengthened his position in the field of playing Chairman Mao.
However, time is unforgiving. With the growth of age, Tang Guoqiang faces more and more limitations in his acting career. Can he break through himself and continue to bring more yuan and more three-dimensional image of Chairman Mao to the audience? This question is up in the air, which makes people full of expectation and curiosity about his future.
The "New Youth" in the Rain: Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun, the successors of the road of special actors
In the film and television circle of 2021, there are two plays like summer thunder that awaken the audience's memory of that special era-"the Age of Awakening" and "Mid-stream hitting the Water". In these two works, two post-80s actors Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun, with their excellent interpretation of young Chairman Mao, have become the focus of heated discussion after dinner.
Some people say that Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun are the newcomers on the road of special actors. They have successfully taken over the class of their predecessor Gu Yue and continue to write the legend of the role of "Chairman Mao" with their young posture. So, what kind of charm and story are there in these two young actors?
It was a gloomy and rainy day, and pedestrians on the street were in a hurry to avoid Rain Water, except for a young man running in the rain. He was Chairman Mao played by Hou Jingjian. This scene not only became a classic scene in the Age of Awakening, but also let the audience see the strength and passion of young Mao Zedong.
Hou Jingjian used his acting skills to successfully create an image of Chairman Mao, a young man full of vigor and ideals, which made people seem to return to that turbulent era.
At the same time, Wang Renjun also interprets Chairman Mao's image in his own way in "Midstream Strikes Water." He paid more attention to showing Chairman Mao's inner world and emotional entanglements, allowing the audience to see a more three-dimensional and real young leader. Wang Renjun's acting skills have won unanimous praise from the audience, and he has thus become another brilliant star on the road to special actors.
Of course, the success of Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun is no accident. They not only have excellent performance in acting skills, but also have made a lot of efforts in character shaping. In order to better interpret the image of Chairman Mao, they read a large number of historical materials, watched a large number of video materials, and even personally experienced life and felt the atmosphere of that era. It is this awe and devotion to the role that enabled them to successfully create a deeply rooted image of Chairman Mao.
Today, Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun have become leaders in the road of special actors. Their success has not only won them honor and applause, but also set an example for a younger generation of actors. They use their own practical actions to prove that as long as they have dreams, dare to challenge, and make continuous efforts, they will certainly be able to walk out of their own wonderful life on the road of acting.
However, for Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun, this is just the beginning. They are well aware of their responsibility and mission, and will continue to use their acting skills and enthusiasm to create more deeply rooted characters and bring more wonderful works to the audience. And we also look forward to them to create more splendor and legends in the future!
When the post-90s generation met Mao Zedong: Liu Chenglin's "accidental" road to fame
In the long river of history, some characters seem to be deified and intimidating, such as Mao Zedong, the great man who came out of Xiangtan, Hunan. Can you imagine, a post-90s "fresh meat" actor, dare to challenge such a role? He is Liu Chenglin.
The popularity of the TV series "ask the boundless" has not gone away, and another masterpiece with the same theme, "Kun Peng hitting the waves", is coming like a huge wave. The two dramas seem to be engaged in a silent contest, but the most eye-catching is Liu Chenglin, the post-90s actor who plays young Mao Zedong in Kunpeng against the waves.
Liu Chenglin? The name was not loud before, or even unknown. But when the director of Kun Peng hit the waves made a bold decision to choose the 27-year-old born in 1996 to play young Mao Zedong, everything seemed to change.
"he has that kind of bookiness and the heroic flavor of the young Mao Zedong." That's what the director said of him. And the audience? It was questioned at first, after all, not everyone can play such a role. But when the show was broadcast, people saw a different Mao Zedong-a vibrant, youthful and slightly bookish young Mao Zedong, and the voice of doubt gradually turned into admiration.
How did Liu Chenglin do it? He does not have a professional background and does not have a wealth of acting experience, but he has a lot of awe of the characters and love of acting. He made an in-depth study of Mao Zedong's life and tried to enter the inner world of the great man; he pondered every action and every line, and tried to do his best.
Such efforts, in exchange for the recognition of the audience, but also let him harvest his own growth. From an unknown young actor to the focus of public attention, Liu Chenglin proved with his own strength that as long as he has dreams, courage and efforts, nothing is impossible.
Liu Chenglin: interpreting legends and carrying expectations
Imagine standing in front of the camera, every subtle action, every line carries the expectations and scrutiny of countless people. This is the challenge that Liu Chenglin faced when filming that play. He knows that for him, this opportunity is not only an interpretation of a role, but also a transcendence of himself.
In order to better shape the character, Liu Chenglin did a lot of preparatory work before shooting. He studied etiquette and calligraphy, studied plays, and tried to understand the great character from all angles.
His efforts have not been in vain, and the first time he played Mao Zedong attracted wide attention, which is an honor that previous actors have never had before, but also a heavy responsibility.
Of course, disputes and doubts also follow. After all, everyone has an image of Chairman Mao that belongs to them. Liu Chenglin's appearance is somewhat different from that of Chairman Mao in people's memory, which is an unavoidable fact. Instead of being discouraged, however, he studied the character even harder, trying to be perfect in every aspect of expression, movement, language, etc.
On the first day of the broadcast, the show directly won the number one hit of the day! This is the best reward for Liu Chenglin's efforts. His interpretation has been recognized by the audience, but also let more people see his potential and strength. As a newcomer, Liu Chenglin is bound to bear a lot of questions and criticism, but he chose to face it calmly and turn these voices into a driving force for progress.
We hope that Liu Chenglin can go further on the road of interpretation in the future and bring us more wonderful roles and works. At the same time, we also believe that he will use his own strength and efforts to prove that he is one of the most dazzling stars of his time.
