It is deeply regrettable that a historical film has a dismal box office for two reasons. First of all, the chairman played by Mr. Tang Guoqiang in the film has caused the audience aesthetic fatigue and cannot stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience. Since the 2001 TV series "The Long March", Tang Guoqiang's performance has gone through a process from refreshing to constantly repeating himself.
Now, the image of Tang Guoqiang on the screen is very different from the image of the chairman in people's memory, leaving only the monotonous appearance of a "domineering president". In addition, Foucault once said that historical film and television works, even those related to great men, cannot automatically arouse the public's attention and enthusiasm, and only by directly (at least indirectly) responding to the anxiety of the times can they gain the support of the audience and the return of the box office.
And "The Founding General" tells the story of the title awarded in 1955, such a theme film must have been very popular if it was placed in the eighties of the last century, but now it can no longer resonate with the audience. In this hierarchical society, grassroots youth have felt that they have no respite, and it is no longer possible to win the enthusiasm of the public by continuing to use titles to endorse the hierarchy. In fact, ** has always had reservations about the establishment of a military rank system.
Therefore, in order for a historical-themed film to be successful, it must not only have good actors and storylines, but also keep pace with the times and cater to the focus of the times and the needs of the audience. A war is not won by virtue of military rank, but requires the courage and dedication of every soldier. However, within the military, it is very difficult to build an egalitarian culture and system, and it requires continuous education and ideological transformation.
In contrast, it can be very easy to establish a hierarchy. However, ** refused the rank of generalissimo, because he believed that it would affect his activities and speeches among the masses. ** Having a negative view of the rank system, he criticized, "Men don't flick their tears because it's not time to confer their titles." There are some people in our army who don't even want their lives when they fight, and now they want to fight and make trouble for the sake of a star on their shoulders, what's the point?
Many of the battle-hardened founding generals also had a negative view of the rank system. In fact, the military rank system has not brought much positive effect to army building. By the sixties, the abolition of the military rank system was basically a consensus of the whole army. Therefore, in November 1964, the ** Military Commission drafted the "Opinions on the Abolition of the Military Rank System", pointing out: "The military rank system of our army is copied from the Soviet Union and other countries.
In the past, there was no such system, and the battle was won. Victory in a war is not won by rank, but requires the courage and dedication of every soldier. ** The abolition of the rank system, a decision that is still considered a step in line with the fine traditions of our army.
In 1965, the Chinese People's Liberation Army abolished the military rank system and changed into the still well-known 65-style military uniform, "wearing a red star on its head, and the revolutionary red flag hanging on both sides." The military-government military-civilian relations and the relationship between officers and soldiers within the army during this period were also one of the best periods in the history of our army.
The combat effectiveness of the army was fully tested in the battle of Zhenbao Island that broke out soon after, and this historical event makes people think, if Mr. Tang Guoqiang chooses to take 1964 as the theme to show the various thoughts when the military rank system is abolished, is it more pertinent and of significance to the times?The *** year was more than seventy years old, and now Tang Guoqiang is also entering the age of seventy, can this fit touch the heartstrings of the audience more?
In general, Tang Guoqiang has made significant contributions to the shaping of the image of the leader, especially in the performance of "The Long March", which has reached a god-likeness, which is endlessly evocative. However, in recent years, Tang Guoqiang's performance has failed to make a breakthrough, which is quite regrettable. Tang Guoqiang's image in his later years is unforgettable, but it has also caused a lot of controversy.
If Tang Guoqiang wants to continue to create the image of a historical figure, it is recommended that he can read more books, integrate them, and then choose a major event after 1964 to shoot a movie, such as abolishing the military rank system, or opening the door to Sino-US relations.
Through careful preparation and shaping, we can once again reach the height of god-likeness and create an unforgettable image of the Chinese nation and the liberation of mankind. In this way, Tang Guoqiang can also play the best artistic career for himself and draw a perfect end.
