Yang Zirong, handsome and calm Shao Jianbo, pure and gentle Bai Ru, sinister mountain carvings ... "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and the era it represents have become indelible marks in the hearts of a generation. The 28-episode TV series "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" based on the original work will be broadcast today. The new version of Lin Hai Xue Yuan has changed a lot, no matter compared with Tong Xiangling's Peking Opera model drama "Taking the Tiger Mountain Outward" or the old version of the film "Taking the Tiger Mountain Outward" produced by Bayi Film Studio.
plot of a play
Yang Zirong is full of pique.
In the past, Peking Opera and movies focused on "outsmarting the Tiger Mountain", while the TV version explained the story of the establishment of the squad and the fight against bandits on various hills one by one more specifically, and showed the growth experiences of heroes such as Yang Zirong and Shao Jianbo more completely. The old version of Yang Zirong was a reconnaissance platoon leader as soon as he appeared. He didn't explain his background and experience. It seems that he was born a great hero. In the play, his starting point was lowered. At first, he was just a cook around Commander Tian. When he was a child, he worked as an apprentice because of his poor family. He also worked as a bodyguard in the home care and could cook good dishes. Because he has been wandering in the Jianghu for many years, he can speak a lot of slang, and he is sophisticated and good at have it both ways. He is not like a hero at all. He has never submitted an application for joining the party. Because he can speak slang, he was transferred to the reconnaissance team, and he is not willing to go. On the other hand, the squad is also unwilling to take him, thinking that he is new. Before going to Mount Weihu, he said to his comrades: "You are all party member. If I can't come back this time, can you recognize me as a martyr?" Moved comrades-in-arms expressed their willingness to introduce him to the party, and he joined the party.
In the original work, only chief of staff Shao Jianbo and Bai Ru had a love story, but in the model opera, even Bai Ru was gone. In order to be more humane, Yang Zirong's love clue was specially added to the TV series, in which Yang Zirong had a first lover named "Sophora japonica".
The hero was sacrificed.
However, the new version of Lin Hai Xue Yuan always feels something is missing from the plot. First of all, the "Xiao Changbao" in the old version of the "model opera" disappeared, and the "Asking for bitterness in the mountains" was also cancelled. Think that year, how many people heard Xiao Changbao's anti-Erhuang gong, followed by tears, and how many people heard that "from now on, they will follow the savior * * * to produce a party and call the mountains and rivers new clothes", and their blood will boil. The cancellation of this character in the new TV series always makes people feel unhappy. Not only does it seem that they have lost a feeling, but after watching it, they also lost the feeling of reminiscing about their passionate burning years in the 1960s and 1970s.
Except for Xiao Changbao, even the exciting argot conversation in Weihu Hall has disappeared. Once upon a time, the famous code word "Heavenly King Gai Di Hu, Baota Town River Demon" used by some people even to let their families open the door when they came home from the night shift was replaced by idioms and hundreds of surnames. Even the new TV has inexplicably added a load of kwantung army cigarettes-although it looks more reasonable, it is easier for people to understand why the mountain carving is so easy to accommodate Hu Biao, but emotionally, after all, it is difficult to accept at the moment.
But compared with Yang Zirong's sacrifice, all these are very small things. In the old movies and "model operas", in order to implement the principle of "three highlights" (that is, highlighting the positive characters in all characters, highlighting the heroes in the positive characters and highlighting the main heroes among the heroes), Yang Zirong was portrayed as an all-powerful and idealistic hero. However, in the new TV series, not only Yang Zirong became a "person" with many defects, but even Shao Jianbo became an emotional leader. For people over 30 who used to watch the model operas in those days, it will be really hard for them to accept that their perfect heroes as children have become like this for a while.
style
Bold+meticulous description
Tong Xiangling's version of "Taking the Tiger Mountain Outward" follows the style of Peking Opera, but the difference is that this drama film is achieved through a three-pronged approach of dance, music and dialogue. Although Wang Runsheng's version of Yang Zirong lacks the "dance" in the drama, the plot of Bayi Factory is extremely compact, so people can also be portrayed through the plot. However, these two old versions of the characters have a very serious tendency to make faces. The good guys are always handsome and handsome, and the bad guys are all rats and mice. To some extent, this sameness strengthens the political preaching meaning of the film, but weakens the story of the film itself. At this point, the new "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" is undoubtedly easy to be accepted by the audience.
According to director Li Wenqi, the TV version is to let the audience know this history again, to highlight the historical background of the great era, to "create a big atmosphere, a big scene and a big lens as a whole, and create a heavy historical atmosphere, and the costumes of the actors are all big cotton-padded jackets, big dog skin hats and big shoes to highlight the special living environment". After describing with a series of "big" characters, Li Wenqi concluded: "To give people a strong impact visually, we should be meticulous in the details of shooting, but from a distance, it is meticulous and meticulous, and we should have a sense of oil painting."
performer
Yang Zirong drank enough foreign ink.
Yang Zirong in the TV version is played by Wang Luoyong from Broadway. Wang Luoyong became a famous Chinese performing artist on Broadway in the United States because she performed 2478 famous plays "Miss Saigon" in six years. After leaving the motherland 15 years, in 200 1 year, he stepped onto the stage of China drama and played Kong Yiji in the drama The True Story of Kong Yiji. Can this new version of "Yang Zirong" who drank a lot of foreign ink be recognized?
From the image of being westernized who is used to shrug his shoulders and roll his eyes, to the northeast man who speaks roughly and is unkempt, Wang Luoyong admits that he was "very nervous" when he really took on Yang Zirong. "From my own life experience, I am not very familiar with the northern culture. The language, climate, clothing and atmosphere of life are different from the culture in southern China that I am familiar with. The director first adjusted my state from my life and asked me not to listen to American music, to wash my face with soap instead of American soap, and to wear sweaty clothes. Have porridge for breakfast without milk, cereal and butter. " So what's different about his performance? "The more such a hero's image is, the more it should be expressed in as many details as possible, so that the audience can feel that he is like ordinary people, not mythical. For example, he has his shortcomings, his hobbies, and loves to eat stewed noodles with sauerkraut.
Yang Zirong is just a "symbol" in the old films and model operas-an idealized symbol of an invincible and wise SHEN WOO and an idealized revolutionary hero. Compared with that year, the biggest feature of the new edition of Lin Hai Xue Yuan is to restore "symbols" to "people" one by one. In this sense, the new version of Lin Hai Xue Yuan is not at the same level as the old one. The former has neither political preaching function nor symbolic fantasy, so the new version of "Yang Zirong" is basically incomparable with Wang Runsheng and Tong Xiangling in acting.
Bai Ru hasn't lost his student flavor.
Bai Ru (nursery rhyme ornaments)
In the original work, the love story between Shao Jianbo and Bai Ru added a lot of romantic color to this man's play. In the TV version, Bai Ru was played by the heroine nursery rhyme of the "Zhang Tong Incident" which was hotly debated. Although it was a maiden work and was beset with negative news, the cast members still appreciated the nursery rhyme's acting skills. Producer Zheng Kainan told reporters that Bai Ru, who had chosen nursery rhymes to play "a little girl in a million horses", was totally interested in her unique innocence and cuteness. "At that time, she was still a freshman in Chinese opera, dissatisfied with 18 years old, just in line with the role, and her appearance was very simple." In fact, there is no image of "Little White Dove" in the old film "Model Opera". Although there is a "health worker", it is a walk-on, and there is no drama. In Wang Runsheng's version of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", the play score of the health worker is a little heavier, but according to the drama creation criteria at that time, "when shaping positive characters, we must start from heroes, and all positive characters are like green leaves supporting red flowers to set off heroes, especially the main heroes." Therefore, the relationship between her and the 203 head is still not clear. Although there is a chapter in Qu Bo's novel "Bai Ru's Heart", it is only euphemistically mentioned.
Although Bai Ru, played by nursery rhymes in the new TV series, is heavily divided, there is no comparability because his previous roles are either symbolic characters or "green leaves". But as far as her own performance is concerned, she really doesn't look like a health worker who has been in the army, and she hasn't lost the shadow of a student. The tone of many dialogues is not well controlled, and it seems that they don't know how to talk to the "head".
In addition, other female characters have been added to the new edition of Lin Hai Xue Yuan, such as Sophora japonica, Luan Ping's wife and so on. Among them, the presence of Sophora japonica makes first hero a little more popular, but it also makes the whole drama fall into the traditional emotional drama for men and women.
comment from head to feet—make critical remarks about sth/sb
This "hero" is too ordinary
An ideal is not so easy to return to reality. This is true for idealized things, especially for idealized people. In an ideal situation, heroes can not eat, drink, die or get hurt; At the same time, there is no worldly desires, no messy thoughts and no personal problems. Unfortunately, such a hero can only be a symbol, a product of political preaching.
Heroes are human beings, and they also make childish mistakes. This is the deepest impression I left after watching the TV version of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". Now it's hard to understand how people in those days fell in love with Gao Daquan's Yang Zirong. After all, it is not a day or two to say that "no one is perfect". As a result of the lack of idols, people in those days fell into a blind worship of all positive heroes, ignoring the characteristics they should have as normal people.
However, in the TV series "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", we saw the humanization of heroes. Neither Yang Zirong nor Shao Jianbo has perfect qualities. However, at the same time of humanization, the color of idealism has gradually been lost. After 30 episodes, we didn't even hear a word like "for the revolution". Although shouting slogans is not popular now, the political quality of many soldiers in those days did not reach the point where opening their mouths was a slogan, but even the political commissar couldn't jump out of this word, and it seems that the whole drama has changed a little.
Another aspect of the humanization of the TV series "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" is the choice of the protagonist image. In those days, the positive characters in the movies were all Chinese characters with upright faces-but in fact, few revolutionary heroes in those years grew up like that in the movies. Therefore, the humanity restoration of Yang Zirong's image is actually the biggest attraction of this TV series.
The fly in the ointment is that Yang Zirong, a lonely hero, has been reduced to an ordinary person, but Shao Jianbo, who feels like a scholar, still stays in the plane. Shao Jianbo in the new edition of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" is not only similar in character modeling to that of that year, but also only adds an emotional drama with the little white dove to him in terms of characterization, which is undoubtedly much thinner than Yang Zirong's flesh and blood fullness. It gives people a feeling that it is not even as vivid as the images of several bandits (such as Luan Pingping).
People who watched movies in those days would think that Shao Jianbo had the feeling of Zhou Yu, but now watching TV series, Shao Jianbo still has the feeling of Zhou Yu. If Shao Jianbo can show his personal charm in details like Commander Tian, this image, which was regarded as an idol by many boys and girls in the past, can be truly resurrected from the ideal.
