Li Qingzhao, the first talented woman in the Song Dynasty, her father was a student of Su Shi, her mother was the daughter of the prime minister, and her husband was a talented son, and she was known as "the first talented woman in the ages". Although modern people can't witness her style with their own eyes, we can still feel her unique talent in film and television works.
But despite this, it still does not fully satisfy our yearning for this great woman.
In Dragon TV's cultural variety show "Sven Jiangnan" in 2022, Liu Tao was selected to play the talented girl Li Qingzhao. She was wearing plain clothes, and her eyes showed a melancholy and firm temperament, although it cannot be said that Liu Tao's performance was not beautiful, but the moment she picked up the bowl, many netizens began to question whether this was Pan Jinlian.
In front of the camera after her costume change, she recited "Summer Quatrain" passionately, and at this time she did not show Li Qingzhao's scholarly temperament.
In 2022, Henan Satellite TV will play the youth of Li Qingzhao in the Qingming Wonderful Tour, and the program team will find Xu Jiaqi, who was born in the draft. However, her performance has received more criticism than Liu Tao.
Her interpretation not only failed to show Li Qingzhao's profound cultural heritage, but instead shaped him into a simple and lovely image. This is not only a matter of actors' skills, but also Li Qingzhao's lofty status in people's hearts, which makes it difficult for most people to achieve its depth and breadth.
From the ups and downs of her life, we can see her unique charm at each stage, she was full of vitality and innocence in her youth, and lonely, melancholy and heroic in her later years.
And this time, under the wonderful performance of Yang Ma, the audience was able to witness Li Qingzhao's demeanor at different stages.
On the first day of the New Year, that is, from February 10th to February 16th, Yang ** and CGTN joined forces to create a poetry and cultural feast - "Famous Chapters of the Ages".
In this program, the program team specially selected 7 beauties full of bookish atmosphere, and led us to revisit the wonderful life of Li Qingzhao, a talented woman, through ancient and modern dialogues and poems.
Whether it is a young girl, a mature youth, or even a middle-aged and old age, these 7 actors all play two roles in one person, transcending time and space, realizing the dialogue between ancient people and modern people.
This unique way of interpretation can be said to be extremely rare in other shows, or even never. When the majority of netizens saw Li Qingzhao in different periods, they all exclaimed, "Great, great!" ”
When Li Qingzhao was young, her life was full of joy and unrestrained. Although in that era of low status of women, Li Qingzhao was unique. Her parents encouraged her to pursue her dreams, and she lived an enviable life by drinking, admiring flowers, making friends, and having fun.
In this show, Zhou Jingyang, a 23-year-old young actor of the Chinese Theatre, perfectly interprets Li Qingzhao's playful image.
The dark pink plain clothes, smart eyes, gentle and funny expression, just like Li Qingzhao when she was a girl, the innocence and innocence are still there. On that summer afternoon, Li Qingzhao was boating on the lake, and when she was slightly drunk, she left the song "Like a Dream Order" that has been praised through the ages, making her the leader among the literati.
Zhou Jingyang is trying his best to restore Li Qingzhao's chic and cool girlhood, however, there are still some viewers who question his line skills and small expressions.
However, professionals generally believe that if you can truly understand Li Qingzhao's poems, you will find that her image at that time is consistent with Zhou Jingyang's interpretation.
The appearance of Ma Fanshu made the audience's eyes shine and received many praises. Her appearance makes it difficult for people to associate her with ancient costumes anymore, but this time, her performance seems to really let people see Li Qingzhao, a talented woman of that era.
Li Qingzhao, played by Ma Fanshu, is about 30 years old, and has lost the vitality and liveliness of her girlhood, but has added a kind of elegance and gentleness of a mature woman. At this time, she still maintained her inner happiness.
She is independent, confident, and full of wisdom, which is very similar to the character of Ma Fanshu, who played Li Qingzhao in this period.
In the sweetness of love, Li Qingzhao still sticks to himself and refuses to be defined and commented on by men. This spirit of independence and autonomy has deeply attracted modern women. In reality, Ma Fanshu is also a top student, and he was admitted to the Communication University of China with the first place in Heilongjiang Province, giving people a deep "bookish atmosphere".
Her independence and talent are fascinating.
Netizens are full of praise, CCTV's vision of selecting people is really unique, and Ma Fanshu successfully shaped the image of Li Qingzhao. In addition, Liu Xinyue, who is the same host as Ma Fanshu, played Li Qingzhao at the age of 35, when she was separated from her husband and suffered from lovesickness.
Liu Xinyue uses "A Cut of Plums" to interpret the waiting in her heart, but this waiting is like "the moon is full in the West Building when the goose character returns", which is always unrealizable. is different from Li Qingzhao played by Ma Fanshu, Liu Xinyue's role reveals deep sorrow and lovesickness.
After the complete work, the amazing role is none other than "Li Qingzhao" played by Mr. He Saifei!
Li Qingzhao's middle-aged life was full of longing for her husband. She loves her husband deeply and longs for his company, but she knows that she can't be a burden to him. As a result, poetry became the only way for her to pour out her lovesickness.
And CCTV host Wang Duanduan vividly showed us Li Qingzhao's deep lovesickness by reciting "Memories on the Phoenix Stage".
Whenever she climbs a tall building, Li Qingzhao will be immersed in sweet memories with her husband, although her heart is full of faint sorrow, but she is more of an expectation for the future.
She believes that the parting is only temporary, and the day of reunion will always come, and she looks forward to the day when she will see her husband again.
We are used to seeing the image of Wang Duanduan with short hair, but this time she put on a long dress, combed her hair, and said, "How many things, if you want to talk about it." Subsequently, the familiar host Zhu Xun appeared.
At the age of 51, Zhu Xun successfully portrayed Li Qingzhao, who still deeply misses his hometown after experiencing the collapse of the country and the death of his family. Even in the face of the early death of her husband Zhao Mingcheng, her grief is full of longing for her hometown.
Zhu Xun's wonderful performance allows us to see that even in a difficult situation, Li Qingzhao did not completely sink, but became more tenacious. In the past, poetry was her deep longing for her husband, but now, the country has become something close to her heart.
Zhu Xun once said that whenever he reads Li Qingzhao's poems of this period, although endless sadness wells up in his heart, he also feels deep comfort. And CCTV host Liu Xin analyzed the song "Proud of the Fisherman" for the audience in both Chinese and English!
Standing in the boat at sea, Li Qingzhao is no longer the girl she used to be, her hair is coiled, and her immaturity has passed. She is Liu Xin and Li Qingzhao, a poet known for her "graceful", but her poems are full of heroism.
Facing the sea, she has countless emotions that she wants to confide in, and it is not just longing.
Teacher He Saifei's appearance on the stage made many netizens exclaim: This is Li Qingzhao in my heart, even if he is old, his elegance and calmness have not diminished at all. Especially when she read Li Qingzhao's "Eternal Happiness: Lantern Festival", her deep eyes seemed to touch everyone's soul.
When Mr. He Saifei played Li Qingzhao in this period, he deeply felt that he had a similar life situation to the characters in the play, and experienced many misfortunes, but he also became calm and transparent.
Teacher He Saifei's love for Yue Opera stems from his inner persistence. She has always insisted on passing on Yue Opera, even if she chooses to film under economic pressure, she always believes that she is a Yue Opera actor.
Her persistence and love have allowed Yue Opera to be inherited and developed in modern society.
Li Qingzhao is not just the miserable poetess in people's impressions, she also has a free, playful, and lovely side. It's just that in those carefree days, she didn't foresee that her future self would experience the pain of the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family.
These seven actors who play Li Qingzhao brilliantly reproduce her living environment in a specific period, allowing us to not only feel the changes on the surface of Li Qingzhao, but also have emotional resonance.
I have to admire CCTV's unique vision in casting! So, which actor do you think has the best performance? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section!
