Chapter 1,165: One Generals Success and Ten Thousand Bones Withered
Li Tongzhou obviously made preparations.
His views on Captain Xie are indeed novel.
History has always remembered those individual people. Among the Eight Hundred Heroes, there are only a few whose names can be remembered.
As the leader of the lone army, Commander Xie is naturally the most prominent one.
To onlookers, he is indeed worthy of the name of a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, but to the lone soldiers under his command, this may not be true.
"As a leader, Commander Xie is undoubtedly qualified. Although there were a series of riots during his tenure, he still kept the lone army in his hands. However, in my personal opinion, Commander Xie's
Undoubtedly, he was suffering in his heart, because as the saying goes, one general can make a thousand bones dry up. In order to "take the overall situation into consideration", he chose to be patient and trapped with his lone army. The lone army could have broken out, but he stopped it, so there were others behind it.
I was almost assassinated by my best friend."
"So, in terms of role alone, I think he himself may not even agree that he is a hero." Li Tongzhou said the words he had collected and prepared for a long time.
This is indeed his view of this character.
Acting is actually more of a formality. Li Yi naturally knows how good an actor like Li Tongzhou is at acting.
It mainly depends on whether his personal image and style fit the role.
At the same time, it also depends on his understanding of the characters.
Maybe many people will say, this doesn’t mean anything, right?
But in fact, this can really explain something. After a person has a certain first impression of this character, even if you ask him to change it later, he may not be able to change it.
Why do some directors and big-name actors sometimes quarrel?
It's because both parties have different understandings of the roles.
As for movies and performances, many times, if the actor cannot understand the director's request, or denies it from the bottom of his heart, will the performance be good?
the answer is negative.
Many times, when a director makes a movie, he is focusing on details on the one hand, but he also pays attention to a feeling at the same time.
You want to express what kind of person this character is, his inner thoughts, overall context, etc., which have a lot to do with personal understanding of the character.
Li Yi did not make a decision right away. After all, there were still many people waiting for auditions.
Although the second actor who came in has never worked with Li Yi, he is also a powerful actor nowadays.
Ma Junrong, the role he auditioned for was also Captain Xie.
Li Yi also asked the question equally.
"He is a qualified soldier! But for a lone soldier, I don't think he can be regarded as a hero.
From my personal understanding, after the lone army fought the battle to defend the Sihang Warehouse, they have actually fulfilled each of their responsibilities. Simply as the highest direct leader of the lone army, I think he is unqualified.
When we describe an officer, we often use adjectives such as "loving soldiers like a son". He is undoubtedly very prestigious in the lone army. It is justifiable for him to be disarmed, and it is not something that Commander Xie can stop!
But after he was taken into custody alone, his actions were hard to describe as heroic.
I personally can't understand some of his actions. At first, he did think about finding a way out for the lone army, such as breaking out of the encirclement. I believe he had thought about where he would go after breaking out of the encirclement. I also believe that he was not afraid of death. However, when
When an order arrived, his choice was understandable as a soldier, but as the leader of the lone army, he could insist on the honor of his own soldier, but he also made the same request to the lone army. In fact, he
In fact, he knew the pain of being alone, but what did he do?
Someone wanted to leave, but he chose to stop him!
Suppress with violence!
Why not turn a blind eye and let people who want to make a living for themselves leave?
Soldiers who died on the battlefield deserved their death. There is nothing to say. The lone army may not be an elite force, but at least they completed the mission they were supposed to complete.
There, they were not prisoners, but they were worse than prisoners.
If the prisoners had the chance to break out, they would choose to fight to the death, but as a directly subordinate officer, he has been executing orders, even if the order actually has no meaning at all.
Let's just imagine, if he breaks out of the encirclement with his lone army, can their lone army play a greater role?
I think it is ok!
..."
Ma Junrong's cognition is actually similar to Li Tongzhou's, but he is more outspoken.
Li Yi and Chen Wen looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
However, Ma Junrong was not suitable for the role of Commander Xie. Instead, Li Yi felt that he was more suitable for the role of Shangguan Zhibiao, the character who planned to assassinate Commander Xie.
Because in Li Yi's view, his thoughts were not from Commander Xie's point of view, but rather the same as what Shangguan Zhibiao's character thought when he planned to assassinate Commander Xie.
The male protagonist of a movie like "The Eight Hundred", even if it is an ensemble drama, the role of Captain Xie can still be regarded as the male protagonist.
Therefore, for auditions for such roles, those who are usually qualified are famous actors.
For example, Xu Zhengrong later.
His understanding is somewhat different from the previous two.
"I think his idea is actually very pure. As the saying goes, a soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a den. He is worthy of the glory of a soldier. It's not that he doesn't love soldiers, nor is he afraid of death, but he also believes that as a soldier,
As an officer of the lone army, he had found a way out for the lone army, but at the same time, he could not disobey orders, because before that, they were executing orders. If he denied this order, then what did they do before?
He has been persevering. It’s not that he doesn’t know the pain of the soldiers. He is also in pain, even more painful than any other soldier. On the one hand, he is tolerating for the country, and on the other hand, he is watching helplessly. These people who should be heroes
The soldiers were on the verge of collapse one by one in pain.
He had several choices. The first time was to defend Sihang Warehouse with a lone army. The second time was to retreat with the soldiers, be disarmed, and enter the concession. The third time was to break out with a lone army, or carry out the order to hold on.
He chose the latter!
He has never changed. He has always performed the responsibilities that a soldier should fulfill. He is worthy of the country, but he is worthy of being a lone soldier.
This is what I think of Commander Xie!”
After Xu Zhengrong finished speaking, both Li Yi and Chen Wen showed expressions of appreciation.
Because, first of all, these actors, the role they want to audition is Captain Xie, so naturally they have to start from his personal perspective.
What other people think of it is not what they should care about, and it is also not what Captain Xie at the time cared about.
This should be what film critics, media people, and audiences think!
