When Wang Jinsong, Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Songwen are put together to play the role of "drug lord", the differences between them are obvious.
In recent years, film and television dramas with the theme of 'sweeping away gangsters and eliminating evil' can be described as a dark horse. The exciting fight scenes and deceitful power disputes in the plot immersed the audience and praised it. The enthusiasm and dedication of the police characters at the expense of their lives, as well as the ruthlessness and invisibility of the 'drug lords', often leave a deep impression on the audience.
However, a successful 'drug lord' image is not an easy task, and the strength of the actor is crucial. Comparing the underworld roles played by Wang Jinsong, Zhang Songwen, Wang Zhiwen and other actors together, the gap is immediately apparent. Wang Jinsong, as an old actor, has rich experience and outstanding acting skills. Each character he portrays is extremely characteristic and impresses the audience. Especially in his works in recent years, he has successfully created the role of the big boss 'Lin Yaodong'.
If the audience has watched "Icebreaker", they should not be unfamiliar with the name Lin Yaodong. His countenance gives a sinister and cunning feel. In the play, Liu Yaodong is a villain with a strong aura, and every appearance can be impressive, and he doesn't even need to say lines, just by looking at his eyes and movements, with a quiet background** and dim lighting, he can make people creepy. And the display of this temperament is inseparable from the superb acting skills of his actor Wang Jinsong. ”
Wang Jinsong is an actor who is extremely good at using micro-expressions. When he prepares for filming, he will have an in-depth understanding of the character's image characteristics and fully integrate himself into the character. While others were still thinking about how to perform well on the set, Wang Jinsong had already become one with the character. He was able to express the character's traits vividly through Liu Yaodong's makeup and costumes. Liu Yaodong's thin figure, sharp eyes, and ruthlessness hidden under his simple appearance can all be reflected through his eyes. This kind of look, or angry gaze, or sly smile, all shows the unkindness of this character.
And Wang Jinsong just grasped the soul of the character, understood the character's state of mind, and how to interpret the lines. He can naturally embody Liu Yaodong's ** character in every subtle shot, so that the audience can intuitively feel the existence of evil. In "Icebreaker", Liu Yaodong's emotional changes are rich and colorful, whether it is joy or sadness, he has performed it vividly, and he can't see the shadow of Wang Jinsong himself at all, only a vivid Liu Yaodong. Wang Jinsong has won people's admiration for his excellent acting skills and unique acting skills, and the audience is very pleased to have such an excellent actor in the film industry. It is such dedicated and excellent actors who can bring classic characters to life and create excellent works one after another.
Recently, there is a popular joke circulating on the Internet: "You know what chemistry is. This sentence often appears in the comment area of various film and television dramas, which arouses the curiosity of many people. This line originally originated from a character in the hit drama "Ice Hunting", who confidently and forcefully said, "Do you know what chemistry is? Chemistry can change the world. This line quickly caused a sensation on the Internet.
And the drama "Ice Hunting" itself also has a lot to watch. Zhang Songwen plays the cold-blooded and ruthless "drug lord" Huang Zongwei in the play, this role breaks people's perception of Zhang Songwen's warm and delicate image in the past, and shows the ability of an actor who is not limited by the role. In order to create this character, Zhang Songwen put in a lot of effort, and even gained weight to show a more "harmless image of humans and animals" to highlight the cold-blooded and ruthless contrast.
This is not the first time Zhang Songwen has challenged such a role. In "Hurricane", he also starred in the underworld big brother "Brother Qiang", and his image of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" is still impressive. Now, he has made a stunning appearance with the murderous Huang Zongwei, which further consolidated his strength in acting.
As a veteran actor, Zhang Songwen pays attention to the performance of the character's words and deeds, which is also one of the keys to his success.
His performance is full of tension and brings a strong visual impact to the audience. His acting skills are delicate, every picture shows subtle emotional changes, and he is committed to showing the character traits of the character and presenting a character image to the audience perfectly.
Although he rarely plays a drug lord or villain, with years of acting experience, he is able to interpret a variety of roles perfectly. Zhang Songwen is also willing to try new character settings, for him, this is a kind of experience and experience accumulation.
This may explain why we can see him in various types of dramas. This also reflects Zhang Songwen's excellent acting skills from the side. He was able to flexibly switch between a variety of different roles to achieve a perfect interpretation that seemed to leave no trace, which amazed the audience.
The villains portrayed by Zhang Songwen are all plagued by many difficulties. They are not pure insiders, on the contrary, each character has a rich inner world. These characters are not independent individuals, but microcosms of many people who have been marginalized and cornered by society.
Therefore, Zhang Songwen's role always makes people feel unfinished. As it is said, "The poor must have something to hate." Under his interpretation, the villains also have their own voices, which makes people both hate them and involuntarily feel sympathy and pity.
Zhang Songwen's performance shows a more real society, touches people's souls, and makes people deeply immersed in the gripping plot he presents, and can't extricate themselves.
The two actors show very different qualities: one is deeply trapped and causes anger, and the other is ill-fated and provokes pity. However, Wang Zhiwen, who appeared later, left a different impression. At first, he seemed to be a kind person, but when I looked at his behavior further, it was a big surprise.
Wang Zhiwen played Guo Xiaopeng in "The Way of Heaven", creating a unique villain image. When I heard this name, I thought he was a positive character, and coupled with Wang Zhiwen's elegant temperament, he didn't look like a villain. However, the director of this drama deliberately asked Wang Zhiwen to play a "big drug lord", obviously considering the scheming and darkness that a drug lord must have. Therefore, choosing a bookish Wang Zhiwen to play this role just balances the inner complexity of the character. The villain doesn't have to be vicious in appearance and have blood on his hands.
Wang Zhiwen's performance interpreted the image of the drug lord as a character who was moody and murderous, which made many viewers call it more terrifying and oppressive. This time, Wang Zhiwen's acting skills have been widely praised, and he usually shows people with a humorous image, but this time he appeared as a villain, which made the audience extremely curious about his role expectations, but he didn't expect him to play Guo Xiaopeng to be such a big villain.
Perhaps that's one of the qualities of great actors: while everyone is still speculating about their roles, they have the flexibility to change their acting style and leave audiences stunned as soon as they appear. This also makes people realize that actors should not be viewed with a fixed concept at any time, because excellent actors can bring countless surprises, which is the most attractive thing about senior actors.
After watching the performance of the three "drug lords", people will be shocked in their hearts, but the most thought-provoking thing is the gap between the actors.
With the popularity of film and television dramas such as "Sweeping Gangsters and Eliminating Evil", "underworld" and "drug dealers" frequently appear on the screen, and the gap between villains is becoming more and more obvious, which stems from the expressiveness and attainments of actors.
A lot of actors focus on "acting", they mold themselves by imitating "underworld" acts, which is not the case with really good actors.
From the impressive villains portrayed by these three veteran actors, we can find that their personalities, behaviors, and even backgrounds are completely different.
Each of their roles is distinct and prominent, with a complete character storyline, rather than simply imitating or learning.
They put themselves into the characters and look at the development of the plot from the perspective of the characters, so that the audience can be immersed in the plot and feel as if it were actually happening.
Let the audience just look at it, they can feel a layer of goosebumps all over their bodies, which makes them impressed by the character. With the advancement of the times, all walks of life are ushering in a new stage of development, and the film industry is no exception, full of vitality, leaving us with many amazing masterpieces.
However, we must recognize that the relationship between film and television and actors is mutually reinforcing. Despite the increasing quality of the images, the former actors are also getting older. While we affirm the old actors, we are looking forward to witnessing the rise of the new generation of actors, and looking forward to more outstanding works and outstanding performances.
