"The Founding General" was not satisfactory at the box office, and the audience experienced aesthetic fatigue. The image of Mr. Tang Guoqiang has been repeated in many works, making the audience feel a lack of freshness. For more than 20 years, his performance has undergone a change from god-like to monotonous, resulting in aesthetic fatigue for the audience's image. Foucault once said that the age in which the story is told is more important than the age in which the story takes place. "The Founding General" is a story set in 1955, a genre that may have been more popular in the eighties of the last century, when there were illusions about rebuilding hierarchies.
However, now that we have entered the twenties of the 21st century, society has become a dense, complex and extensive hierarchical society, and the audience is no longer enthusiastic about it. There have been reservations about establishing a rank system, as it is very difficult to establish an egalitarian culture and system within the military, but it can be very easy to establish a hierarchy. This also affects the audience's acceptance of the film.
**Refusal of the rank of generalissimo: Return to the masses, cancel the rank system, and regain victory*** Refusing the rank of generalissimo, he said: "I can't ask for this generalissimo, let me wear the generalissimo's **, how uncomfortable!".How inconvenient it is to go to the masses to speak and move!In response to the phenomenon of competing for military ranks, ** criticized: "Men don't flick when they have tears, just because it's not time to confer 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?βγ
In addition to *** having a negative view of the rank system, many of the founding generals also had a negative view of the rank system. At the end of the fifties, ** when receiving foreign guests, he said: "I don't like people to call me marshal", "I don't like these two cards on my shoulder." βγIn addition, the six air force generals jointly proposed to "abolish the establishment of military ranks," and senior cadres also raised doubts at the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission in 1958, holding that the military rank system did not conform to the reality of our army. One major general even said in his speech: "I doubt the rank system itself.
In ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, the old and new national armies have military rank symbols, but this does not mean that the Chinese People's Liberation Army must also be listed ......Therefore, I think we should take the sign off and wear it again during the ceremony. * At the enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Beidaihe in 1958, he expressed his concern about the military rank system, saying that there are now "flowers" (referring to the rank marks on the epaulettes of officers), and salaries must be ranked, divided into generals, colonels, and lieutenants, but some have not yet fought, and the result is that they are separated from the masses, and the soldiers do not love the officials, and the people do not like to work, because this is similar to the Kuomintang.
This kind of implementation of the military rank system has not brought much positive effect to army building. Because the military rank system did not bring much positive effect to army building, by the 60s, the abolition of the military rank system was basically the consensus of the whole army. In August 1964, Marshal ** proposed to *** to abolish the military rank system in Beidaihe, which was approved and supported. In November 1964, after careful study, the ** Military Commission drafted the "Opinions on Abolishing the Military Rank System", which pointed 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. * Through the rejection of the rank of Generalissimo, as well as the questioning of the rank system, a consensus on the abolition of the rank system was finally contributed. This decision returned the army to its original purpose of serving the people and regained victory. The fashion of military uniforms and the innovation of 65-style military uniforms allow us to travel back in time to the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1965. In this year, the Chinese People's Liberation Army abolished the military rank system and replaced it with the still well-known 65-style military uniform.
This kind of reform not only brought about the innovation of military uniforms, but also profoundly affected the relations within the army and the unity between the military and the government and the army and the people. The abolition of the military rank system promoted the revolutionary construction of the army, broke the idea of personal status and hierarchy, and became one of the best periods in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. During this period, military uniforms became the most desirable and fashionable clothing for young people in the country, with a red star on their heads and revolutionary red flags hanging on both sides, giving them a new look. Behind the brilliance of the military uniform is the hard work of building a new society where everyone is equal.
By reviewing the thoughts when the military rank system was abolished, we can better show the response and significance of this history to the times. **In 1964, he chose to abolish the military rank system, when he was over seventy years old, and today's teacher Tang Guoqiang is exactly this age. If Mr. Tang Guoqiang chooses the subject not in 1955, but in 1964, it will be more pertinent, more responsive to the anxiety of the times, and more meaningful. The image of ** should be played by an actor suitable for this age group, and Mr. Tang Guoqiang just meets this condition.
Such a choice will better show the authenticity of history and will also be more likely to resonate with the audience. Tang Guoqiang has made great contributions to shaping the image of the leader, especially in the performance in "The Long March", which looks like *** highly restores the image of the leader. Although Tang Guoqiang has his own performance characteristics, his performance has encountered some bottlenecks and has not broken through. Perhaps, he can think from different angles and present a more challenging and in-depth performance to the audience.
In "The Founding General", the audience feels that the age gap between the *** played by Tang Guoqiang and the reality is too large, and there is a lack of coordination. In fact, Tang Guoqiang does not need to speak in tongues, and the most important thing is that his voice can reflect the character and temperament of the leader. The audience's requirements for actors are multifaceted, and Tang Guoqiang has the ability to conquer the audience through his performance charm. Today, we can still revisit this history and re-understand the decision to abolish the military rank system.
This period of history has not only affected the relations within the military, but also has far-reaching significance for the people of the whole country. The reform of military uniforms is only a microcosm of it, and it is more a reflection of the changes of the times and the choice of history. We should have a more comprehensive understanding of this history, and Mr. Tang Guoqiang should also find a new breakthrough in the performance and show more diverse performance charm. Tang Guoqiang needs to let go of distracting thoughts, study Xi *** thoughts deeply, and be fully prepared. After that, he could choose to make a film about major post-1964 events, such as the abolition of the military rank system or the story of Sino-American relations.
Through careful shaping, Tang Guoqiang can once again create a god-like image, showing the image of working hard for the Chinese nation and human liberation in his later years. This will also draw a perfect end to his artistic career as a ***.
