In the revolutionary drama of the Anti-Japanese War, the victory or defeat is all due to the actor alone.
With the ruthlessness of the years, Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin and other old actors are gradually unable to do their best, and the film and television industry is constantly looking for actors suitable for the image of great men. They need to have a certain amount of acting skills and make the audience shine.
As a result, various approaches pop up on the screen"Cow ghost snake god"。The two major dramas "Armageddon" and "Dawn of the East" launched by CCTV are quite level. On the one hand, he admired Wang Jinsong's vivid portrayal of Lao Jiang, and on the other hand, he was shocked by Yu Hewei's version of **.
When Zhang Jiayi played **, the audience deeply realized that acting as a great man does not rely only on acting skills. Some people may have a good look, but it is difficult to grasp the taste in the details.
As for those widely controversial actors, the list goes on. In "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", Ou Hao played Ye Ting, Ma Tianyu played **, and Dong Zijian played the role of *** comrade. In "Revolutionary", Peng Yuchang plays Zhang Xueliang, and Han Geng plays Lao Jiang. In the CCTV drama "The Flame of the Avenue", Zhang Bohu's performance on the back of the bear also attracted a burst of attention.
These actors, who are outside the public's perception, are all based on the director's unique vision, and the audience cannot predict them. Now, CCTV has once again launched a revolutionary drama called "Ask the Boundless" as the year-end finale.
Among them, the role of Song Qingling, the mother of the country, portrayed by Song Jia, surprised me. Theoretically, for a well-known Mesozoic powerful actor, this role is not too complicated. However, precisely because there is no harm if there is no comparison, we might as well review the actors who played the role of Song Qingling in film and television dramas and see how everyone treats this character.
In "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", Xu Qing plays Song Qingling, the mother of the country. After the movie aired, people had mixed opinions about her performance. She has changed significantly in her image, no longer as charming as in daily life, but shows a gentle and generous charm, which makes people shine. may be too soft and lacks the majesty that the mother of the country should have, but her bright eyes and natural demeanor still impressed the audience.
Performing on the same stage with many stars, especially against Tang Guoqiang, Xu Qing is not inferior at all. Looking back now, her performance is enough to attract attention. She skillfully portrayed the image of the mother of the nation, although there are not many scenes, but the audience can fully feel the shock and inner pain of the mother of the country through her performance. The emotional expression may be slightly insufficient, but Xu Qing successfully interprets complex emotions.
The audience's evaluation of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is mixed, but Xu Qing's performance is still quite watchable. She has successfully captured the charm of the mother of the nation, which is worthy of recognition. As for "Song Qingling and Her Sisters", most young viewers may not be familiar with it. This 32-year-old drama may have rough pictures, but the plot is very gripping, the characters are vivid and full, and the content of a few episodes can be better than the ten or twenty episodes produced today.
When it comes to the actor who plays Song Qingling, unexpectedly, the most popular in the comment area is Li Ling.
This national-level actor has only played the role of a returning mother once, but it has made the audience unforgettable for a long time, and even said that the role she played is absolutely "unparalleled".
In fact, the most impressive thing about Li Ling's version of Song Qingling is her eyes.
In the play, she didn't have too exaggerated expressions, nor did she deliberately show off her skills, no matter what kind of emotion it was, it was instantly conveyed to the audience through those eyes.
She slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were red, it was a concern and deep compassion for the people of the country, she stared into the distance, and her confidence in the cause was revealed in her firmness.
In my opinion, it is not so much "like", but rather that Li Ling has fully integrated into the role when interpreting, and the simple costume is completely supported by her excellent performance.
Whether it's the slight shaking of the head when speaking, the gesture of the natural armchair when walking, or the panicked demeanor shown in the silence, the audience cannot detect the slightest trace of the actor himself.
Such a state of mind and an atmosphere of reading poetry and books are by no means "acted".
In fact, this is not the first time Song Jia has played Song Qingling. In "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", she once created the image of the mother of the country.
But unfortunately, both in terms of temperament and performance, it was not satisfactory. When I first looked at the poster, I still had expectations in my heart, after all, Song Jia's acting skills are undeniable, especially in retouching, showing the strength of her inner strength.
However, when Song Jia appeared, I was simply dumbfounded
bowed his head to pour tea, a model good wife and mother, but his eyes were not engaged in it, and his whole body exuded a "weak" atmosphere, and even "likeness" could not be depicted. The dialogue seems unimposing, as if you are in a hurry to get dressed and arrange your hair and then casually go on stage to perform, casually say a few memorized lines, and the confrontation is over.
This scene is a conversation between Soong Ching-ling and her husband Sun Yat-sen, but Soong Ching-ling's expression is more like a servant reporting the situation to the elders. The two didn't even make eye contact, sometimes looking left and right, and they didn't seem to be familiar with each other. This kind of scene makes people feel left out, just like the aunt's wife treats the eldest master.
Considering her identity as the mother of the country, such a posture and expression are really difficult to match Song Qingling. Of course, this is not a doubt about Song Jia's acting skills, but observing her performance in the play, she doesn't seem to have put too much thought into it, and she doesn't even study the role in depth.
Such expressions and demeanors have also been seen in Song Jia's other works. The role of Song Qingling is not the only one that these three actors have tried. Yuan Li played the role of the mother of the country in "China 1945: Chongqing Storm", she showed a stern and aura side, but she lacked the soft quality and seemed too mean. Maggie Cheung also played the same role in "Song Family Dynasty". In terms of performance, there is no doubt that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the film, both in appearance and acting skills.
Maggie Cheung pays more attention to showing a girlish feeling, and in contrast, her performance style is less historical solemnity. Of course, this is also in line with the overall style of the film. Compared with the image of the mother of the nation, her performance may lack some sense of majesty.
For characters who have gone down in history, it is a matter of course to appear frequently in film and television dramas. However, there are not many actors who are really qualified for the role of "Mother of the Nation". The actor who takes over this role needs to be close to the prototype from the inside out, only focusing on the external image and not digging deep into the inside, then the acting skills will be lacking.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. Even actors who are known as queens and actresses, such as Song Jia, will inevitably encounter difficulties when playing a role like Song Qingling. This shows that even among the highly skilled actors, there are some insurmountable challenges.
I wonder which actor impressed you with their performances?Realistically, such a comparison can highlight the differences in the performance of the actors between different roles.
