With the same face, 19 years after acting in "Qianlong Dynasty", he played "South to North", and he almost didn't recognize it
In the entertainment industry, an actor's appearance and character image are one of their most important assets. Sometimes, however, actors present very different images in different productions, making it difficult to recognize. Just like a recent report, an actor starred in "South to North" again after 19 years of acting in "Qianlong Dynasty", and he was almost unrecognized. This provokes deep reflection on the relationship between appearance and character.
The actor's name is Zhang Lei, and he is one of the famous contemporary Chinese actors.
He played the Qianlong Emperor in "Qianlong Dynasty", creating a majestic and wise image, which is impressive. However, when he is in "South to North"**, he plays a simple, simple farmer, which makes people feel as if they are another person.
This dramatic change can't help but make people think about the relationship between identity and external image in their own lives. Everyone plays a different role in different situations, and sometimes even they get confused. For example, a serious manager at work may show a completely different side in the familyOr a person who looks good on the outside, but deep down there may be unimaginable pain and struggle.
This interweaving and collision of multiple identities often brings many challenges and confusions. Sometimes, we feel anxious because we don't know which side to show;Sometimes, we get confused because we have been labeled by others. However, it is this complexity and diversity that makes up our colorful inner world and fills our lives with infinite possibilities.
Recalling Zhang Lei's performance, we may be able to get some inspiration from it. He is able to show such a very different image in different roles precisely because he has a rich inner world and flexible acting skills.
In the same way, each of us is a complex and changeable individual, and we can show different sides in different circumstances and situations, and this does not mean that we are hypocritical, on the contrary, it is precisely our nature as human beings.
Perhaps, we can learn from Zhang Lei and try to accept and accept the complexity of our own hearts, instead of trying to limit ourselves to a single image. We can try to explore and express our innermost emotions and desires without worrying about being misunderstood or labeled by others. We can strive to know and understand ourselves, while also respecting and accommodating the diversity of others, rather than trying to impose on others.
In this era of increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, we may be able to take a broader view of ourselves and others, and be more open-minded to the challenges and changes in our lives. Perhaps, when we learn to accept and tolerate our multiple identities, we will also be able to better understand and tolerate others, and make our lives more colorful.
Zhang Lei's outstanding performances in the two plays bring us into a space for self-reflection. Perhaps, we can draw some strength and inspiration from his performance, to bravely show our multiple identities, to accept and tolerate the differences between ourselves and others, and to make life more colorful.
