It stands to reason that Chen Jianbin is an actor with acting skills, feelings and works.
And his resume is particularly dazzling.
1998 stayed in school to teach after graduating from the master's degree in Chinese opera. The earliest drama won the Golden Lion Award, and later TV series won the Golden Eagle Award and Flying Award, and then became a director in the film. He won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer Director, which is unprecedented.
20 10 Chen Jianbin plays Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Chen Jianbin was known to the public for his Qiao Family Courtyard. When his career rises, he wants to enter the front line with the role of Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, in the end, his reputation was mixed. Later, she recovered by playing a concubine in the palace.
Why did Cao Cao become the battle of Waterloo in Chen Jianbin? What is the gap between him and Bao Guoan? Today, Pigou will talk to you about this topic.
First, the performance of Chen Jianbin
Let's start with Chen Jianbin.
He has been making mistakes since he appeared in the play.
At first, the director told him not to play Cao Cao, but "another very important role". Chen Jianbin said he didn't like the role, "not as interesting and attractive as Cao Cao", so he refused to play it.
Later, the directors of the Three Kingdoms changed, and Chen Jianbin successfully got the role of Cao Cao.
Chen Jianbin didn't disclose which role he gave at first, but judging from his appearance, it is likely to be Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao or Sima Yi, but it is unlikely to be Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang.
For an actor whose career is on the rise, it is understandable that Chen Jianbin refuses to play such a villain or a relatively dull role.
But a person who should have played Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao went to play Cao Cao, and this sense of dislocation made him lose his lead from the beginning.
Then there is the pot of the script.
Zhu Yu, who owns the 1994 version of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is in the forefront, while the 20 10 version of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms avoids its sharpness when writing the script, and strives to write an easy-to-understand drama that modern people can understand.
For example, lines are "modern".
Dong Zhuo said: "Moving the capital to Chang 'an is a century-old plan. "
Xu You said, "Are you here to fight or flirt?"
Pan Feng said, "My axe is thirsty."
These lines sound very shocking, and there is no ancient style, which makes the whole play lose its depth.
In terms of characterization, the play is also biased.
For example, Sima Yi, played by Dahongni, has been shaped into a natural schemer. Dahongni is an old-school player. However, in this drama, the impression is very poor, which is quite different from Wei Zongwan, the actor of Sima Yi in the Old Three Kingdoms.
Another person who was cheated was Chen Jianbin.
In the 1994 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bao Guoan has vividly interpreted Cao Cao, a treacherous man, and the screenwriter has forcibly created a "humanized" Cao Cao, putting Liu Bangshi's rascal on Cao Cao, so we have seen a modern version of another Cao Cao.
Yi Zhongtian called Cao Cao a "lovely adulterer" in The Three Kingdoms. In this play, in order to interpret cuteness, Cao Cao was made to smirk.
Liu Bei ran away, he shouted; When he saw Zhao Yun, he shouted "I love him to death". When I met Guan Yu, I directly sold the rotten "Yunshang Can't Go".
Cao Cao's true face has become "defecating everywhere", which is not a generation of fierce, but simply a "local ruffian" whose emotions erupt at any time.
So if you write such a script, the fairy will play badly when she comes. Chen Jianbin is really unlucky.
Finally, Chen Jianbin has big problems of its own.
No matter how bad the script is, as a good actor, it is also capable of acting beyond the standard, but Chen Jianbin pushes it too hard.
On the one hand, body language is too rich, blowing his beard and glaring from time to time, jumping up and down, and failing to perform Cao Cao's talent.
On the other hand, it is the question of lines. Teacher Bao Guoan's lines are vigorous, magnetic and highly recognizable, but Chen Jianbin's lines have no ups and downs in timbre, which gives people a dull feeling.
His punctuation is also very problematic. The most obvious thing is to recite "Short Songs", which is originally a poem with four words and short sentences. He was stunned and read two words: "Drinking, singing, life, geometry, such as morning dew, going to Japan, suffering a lot ..."
A domineering poem made him stammer, and the audience really felt uncomfortable.
And although Chen Jianbin said that he cancelled many appointments and made full preparations for the play, he always felt that Chen Jianbin's performance of Cao Cao was too original, and his gestures were all modern, without the quaint feeling of the old version of Cao Cao.
In a word, the Chen Jianbin version of Cao Cao has been criticized for his unsuitable role, imprecise script and flawed performance, but compared with the Bao Guoan version of Cao Yicao, the gap is more obvious.
Second, the performance of Bao Guoan
Let's see how Bao Guoan plays Cao Cao.
1990 When CCTV began to prepare for the filming of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bao Guoan was Cao Cao's first choice. At that time, he was very close to Cao Cao in both age and temperament, and Bao Guoan was already the most skillful in the crew.
But compared with Chen Jianbin's wishes, keeping the country safe is on thin ice. He couldn't sleep for several nights, fearing that he would spoil Cao Cao.
In order to play Cao Cao well, Bao Guoan even took to the streets to do a questionnaire survey. At that time, the image of Cao Cao was vague in the public mind. There are treacherous and white-faced Cao Cao on the opera stage, Cao Cao in Guo Moruo's drama and Cao Cao in the new historical drama. Every version of Cao Cao is different.
In the end, he chose Cao Cao, the white face in Beijing Opera, as the blueprint for his creation, but he also reminded himself to "learn from its source instead of its flow". Beijing opera is an exaggerated performance on the stage, so it must not turn Cao Cao into a showpiece if it is to be realistic in TV dramas.
He also wrote many creative notes and small papers, trying to figure out Cao Cao's performance methods. He felt that he wanted to show Cao Cao's wit, changeable personality and suspicious nature.
After in-depth study, he felt that Mao Zonggang, a literary critic, called Cao Cao "the first strange traitor since ancient times", so the performance should not simply show his "treachery", but also his "strangeness".
In the play, Cao Cao's age spans from 39 to 66, so Bao Guoan asked himself to interpret Cao Cao's different personality characteristics according to different ages.
In previous episodes, he played Cao Cao with sharp edges and corners, magnanimous and conceited.
After the scene of "Catch and Release Cao Cao", Cao Cao experienced life and death, and shouted out the life creed of "Better teach me to be negative to the world than to teach the world to be negative to me". Since then, a lean man has grown up.
When he was named the general of Town East by the imperial court and led Qingzhou soldiers to crusade against the Yellow Scarf Army, he showed his thirst for talents.
Later Cao Cao's father was killed. On the one hand, Cao Cao avenged his father, on the other hand, he used his father's death to fight for Xuzhou. There are some sincere feelings and some insincere feelings. One of the lines fully illustrates his complexity: "Even if you don't avenge your father, Xuzhou will surely win."
Later, at Xun's suggestion, Cao Cao took the opportunity to hold the emperor to make the princes. In the scene of "Three Passes to Xuzhou", Bao Guoan skillfully combines Cao Cao's apparent willfulness with his inner calmness, and the audience can see the growth of his role. Bao Guoan called the performance a "three-dimensional war".
When Cao Cao controlled the ruling and opposition parties, on the one hand, he paid tribute to Corporal Xian and adopted a soft policy towards Liu Bei, showing everyone's demeanor;
On the one hand, the "Cao Aman" in his bones is branded in his heart like a birthmark. This childlike cunning is reflected in the hunting in Xu Tian, the battle of Guandu, the defeat of Battle of Red Cliffs and Huarong Road, and this is what he wants to perform.
After making a general performance framework, Bao Guoan also paid attention to an elaborate performance.
For example, there are several kinds of Cao Cao's smiles.
When I was young, I was informal and full of ambition; Middle-aged complacency, optimism and arrogance; In old age, unfathomable and deceitful have different connotations through a smile.
For example, the relationship between Cao Cao and Guan Yu is handled.
From the appreciation of "cutting Hua Xiong with warm wine" to the admiration of Red Rabbit, to the excessive tolerance of "riding a thousand miles alone", Cao Cao's heart is constantly fluctuating, and finally he seems to be too indulgent to Guan Yu, but the irrationality presented to the audience becomes natural, with a strong possessiveness behind it.
Bao Guoan, for example, thinks that we can't take the hero's scenes too seriously, because it's a psychological game. Cao Cao put pressure on Liu Bei with a casual remark, which was not bad.
For example, in the scene of destroying Dong Cheng, Bao Guoan asked himself to vent his hatred, which was both incisive and appropriate.
For example, in the scene played by Xu Youlai, Cao Cao went out to meet him and put on his shoes. He wants to show humor.
As you can see, when Bao Guoan played Cao Cao, he didn't play it in three or two ways. Instead, he pondered over Cao Cao repeatedly, and studied all the ravines that Cao Cao had experienced all his life, knowing exactly which one to play.
He interpreted Cao Cao with the spirit of teaching and scientific research. Can this role be unsuccessful?
In the end, Cao Cao became the most classic character in the 1994 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even without one. Bao Guoan defeated Tang Guoqiang and won the Flying Award and the Golden Eagle Award.
Cao Cao's poems, beards and robes have also become famous scenes in the play, and his iconic smile has become the memory of a generation.
Comparing Chen Jianbin and Bao Guoan, the gap is too obvious. He is blind and confident in himself, with a single way of performance and too self-centered lines. All kinds of disadvantages are concentrated on this role, which makes playing Cao Cao a waterloo in Chen Jianbin's performance history.
In fact, Chen Jianbin might as well learn from Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei also played Cao Cao in The Military League, but he took a different approach. In the play, he is only a supporting role, there is no need to play the role so comprehensively. Yu Hewei made a special effort to show Cao Cao's "Machiavellian" side, which was very domineering and unique.
Someone commented on the performance of the three.
Bao Guoan is Cao Cao; Yu Hewei wanted to play Cao Cao, while Chen Jianbin was just playing himself in Cao Cao's costume.
Fortunately, after Chen Jianbin learned to converge, his acting skills improved steadily. Now he has become a successful director of literary films because of his good acting skills.
His role is no longer simple and powerful, but more delicate and compact, and his grasp of the characters is also through the next level.
Bao Guoan was almost 50 when he played Cao Cao, while Chen Jianbin was only 40 when he played Cao Cao. Obviously, the temperature is not enough.
If Chen Jianbin is allowed to play Cao Cao again, I believe he will be better. On the positive side, the failed attempt 1 1 years ago just helped Chen Jianbin to make continuous progress in performing arts.
