It is never easy to play the role of "cadre" in domestic dramas.
Any actor will face two major problems from the moment he receives the role of "cadre".
The first difficulty is "shape".
To put it bluntly, it is "official style" .
To play a good role as a cadre within the system, you must have more or less official air, at least have a calm attitude , so that you can look like most officials in reality.
This kind of "official style" has certain requirements for the actor's appearance..
For example, " Loyalty " was broadcast in 2001. Jiao Huang and Zhang Guoli played the old secretary and the new secretary of the Mingzhou Municipal Party Committee respectively. As soon as the two appeared on the screen, didn't even have to act , and their aura was immediately apparent.
The second difficulty lies in "God".
Cadres in film and television works often have complex identities, not just pure good or evil , so having to play the soul of the character is a test of acting skills.
For example, the official drama " Year of the Dragon Files " aired in 2003, scored as high as 9.1, just because when the play depicts anti-corruption and power struggle, various officialdom characters are vividly portrayed..
Ge Zhijun plays the municipal party secretary Long Fuhai who is cunning and in control of everything. When he appears, almost every look and action shows his authority;
The airborne mayor Luo Cheng, played by Zhang Fengyi, encountered obstacles in his reform, but he still faced the difficulties. His passionate interpretation aroused strong resonance from the audience.
Therefore, for this kind of officialdom theme or officialdom role, meeting good actors can bring the audience the highest level of acting enjoyment .
However, in recent years, many young actors have begun to target this difficult role in order to "prove" their acting skills.
However, because the temperament and aura of do not match , coupled with the lack of acting skills of and , they often end up being controversial throughout the Internet.
Some people raised doubts, and some people won the full house lottery .
Today, Brother Pi will use the classic dramas of the past five years as examples to list ten actors who have performed brilliantly..
Let’s take a look at the different characteristics of ’s “cadres”, how should act , and what are the strengths of the performances of these ten actors.
We start from the tenth position.
No. 10: Wang Xiao
In the past two years, Wang Xiao has completely embarked on the path of "golden supporting role" .
He frequently appears in major popular dramas, stealing the spotlight from the protagonists with his superb acting skills.
No, in the just-concluded hit drama " County Party Committee " , Wang Xiao played the role of Chengguan Town Party Committee Secretary Qiao Shengli.
Let’s look at Fu Huadao first when playing the role. Look at Wang Xiao, has dark skin. At first glance, it looks like he has been exposed to the wind and sun and often travels to the countryside.
Wearing a wrinkled dark shirt , holding a leather bag under his arm , slightly stooped on his back, facing Lao Qiu who was looking for trouble, his face was full of smiles.
When he saw the county party committee secretary, he immediately stood at attention, just like a child who had made a mistake.
The secretary didn’t say anything. He didn’t dare to speak first. He just took whatever the secretary said, just like the grassroots cadres.
When one thing is not solved, another thing comes to the door.
was knocking on the door to solve this matter, while muttering about that matter on the phone, he was so busy that he didn't care about it.
There is another detail. When we went to the oil seller's house to discuss something, the secretary and the county magistrate already had stools, so they sat down separately.
He didn’t have a stool himself, so could only move one to sit on..
This small detail is also very vivid, and the carefulness of a town secretary in front of the county leaders is well acted.
If we put Wang Xiao in "County Party Secretary" in real life, we would all think that he is a grassroots cadre, which means he is easy to portray and has good acting skills.
No. 9: Ma Shaohua
Ma Shaohua is an experienced actor.
He portrayed Cai Yuanpei in "The Awakening Age ". The Sun Yat-sen he once played is also the most classic image of Sun Yat-sen in the minds of many viewers. These two characters,
, are both very respectable.
It was not until "人世" that the audience discovered that if played a local cadre, Ma Shaohua would be so awesome..
In the play, Governor Hao played by Ma Shaohua is Hao Dongmei’s father and Zhou Bingyi’s father-in-law.
When he appeared on the stage, he had a full official tone. His every move and gesture was that of a high official. Especially when he opened his mouth, he spoke in an official tone. With just a few lines, he immediately established the character of Governor Hao.
In fact, at the beginning, the audience had a good impression of Governor Hao. Two things changed everyone's view of him.
The first thing is that Governor Hao no longer wants to see the Zhou family because of Cai Xiaoguang.
Especially when he is angry, Ma Shaohua has sharp eyes and a face full of flesh. Half of his face is in the light and half of his face is in the dark, which makes people secretly frightened.
The second thing was that his subordinate Sheng Changshun had an unclear relationship with someone else's wife. As the governor, Governor Hao handled the matter in a few sentences, leaving Zhou Bingyi confused.
After a few words of deep introspection, he hastily ended the matter, and used this incident to educate Zhou Bingyi, clearly engaging in the trick of pulling off the mountain.
Governor Hao may be a good father and a good elder, but he is not an absolutely good official.
Among the few villains in "In the World", Ma Shaohua's Governor Hao, although offline early, definitely added a lot of luster to the entire drama.
No. 8: Song Chunli
If we talk about other cadres, they all stop at shaping the cadres "statement of appearance" .
The Jin Yueji played by Song Chunli in "The World" has elevated the shaping of cadres to the level of political charm and language art.
Jin Yueji is the wife of Governor Hao. Before her retirement, she served as deputy minister, which is already a very high official.
Therefore, in politics and officialdom, Kim Yue-hee’s words carry a lot of weight.
At first, Jin Yueji disliked Zhou Bingyi, her son-in-law. For various reasons, she deliberately alienated the Zhou family, fearing that the Zhou family would take advantage of her power..
But after Governor Hao passed away, Jin Yueji intended to train her son-in-law Zhou Bingyi.
Two things made her play a female cadre who is arrogant and well versed in officialdom.
The first thing was that Zhou Bingyi went to the Soviet Union for investigation, and was exposed by the tabloids as having an affair with a girl from the Soviet Union.
Jin Yueji staged a textbook-level conversation .
first taught Zhou Bingyi how to deal with possible investigations, and then asked him to continue to correspond with the Soviet girl. Chinese etiquette must not be lost, but each letter must be read by himself.
is summarized in one sentence: Clean the gun and do not allow it to fire .
She has helped her son-in-law think everything through, both in public and private life. Song Chunli’s performance was neither hurried nor impatient, and every word was steady and powerful. made the audience realize what Dinghaishenzhen is.
The second thing is that she intentionally recommended Zhou Bingyi to enter the real power department . When the officials of the Organization Department visited her, she cleverly recommended her son-in-law.
Brother Pi will talk about how Jin Yueji sold her son-in-law in just a few words.
At the beginning, she said bluntly: She regards Bingyi as her son, and Governor Hao is very satisfied with Bingyi. The implication is, We all think highly of Zhou Bingyi.
then made a request. Has the organization considered training him and putting him at the grassroots level?
Training at the grassroots level has always been our party's default procedure for appointing and promoting cadres. Jin Yueji's meaning has become very obvious.
In the end, I am sure that Zhou Bingyi is a good cadre, but he never mentioned the recommended position or unit, and also removed himself. obviously achieved his goal and avoided suspicion .
With these six sentences, Jin Yueji became the leader of Zhou Bingyi’s political career..
And her effortless and subtle knowledge of the official language art is also the most appreciable and pondering cadre quotation in "The World".
No. 7: Zhang Kaili
There are two female leaders in "The World" who are very brilliant.
One is Jin Yueji, representing the upper-level leader, and the other is Qu Xiuzhen, played by Zhang Kaili, representing the lowest-level leader.
Qu Xiuzhen's appearance was not pleasant, because she was the deputy secretary of the soy sauce factory, and she directly assigned Zhou Bingkun to the most difficult slag discharging workshop.
But towards the end of the play, the audience gradually understood Qu Xiuzhen's painstaking efforts. If Jin Yueji made Zhou Bingyi's political career, then Qu Xiuzhen was obviously Zhou Bingkun's life leader.
frowned and put his hands behind his back, showing off the veteran cadre’s style.
She has her own principles for being an official and doing things, and these principles are all consistent.
And these unshakable "dogmas" gradually turned into her "official airs" in the eyes of others.
Although there are occasions when Qu Xiuzhen seems unkind, especially when she refuses to go through the back door and rejects people thousands of miles away.
But she is considerate, gets along with the lowest level workers, and lives like an ordinary little old lady.
Zhang Kaili is a national first-class actor. In order to play Qu Xiuzhen well, she smoked cigarettes for a long time. This also makes Qu Xiuzhen, a cadre, in sharp contrast to Jin Yueji's arbitrariness.
It's hard to say which of these two portrayals is better, but it is precisely because of this diversified interpretation that "In the World" can have so many classic characters and so many excellent actors, right?
No. 6: Liu Wei
As one of the most classic images of grassroots cadres this year, Liu Wei played the role of Secretary Wan of Wan Shan Tang , which left a deep enough impression on Brother Pi.
Liu Wei is a first-class actor at the National Theater . He once played the role of Wei Yan in the old version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In "Happiness Comes to Thousands of Homes", he is the village secretary and the head of the entire village. is full of style when he appears on the stage..
The back door of the limousine opened, Wanshantang stuck his head out, with a serious look on his face , and then walked into the wedding scene with the villagers' cheering and hugging .
said hello as he walked, giving off the aura of an official.
When I got home, Wanshantang was also full of official attitudes, such as being knelt down by the villagers.
Another example is when he was questioned by a police officer at the police station. He also crossed his legs and looked nonchalant.
The image of Wansantang has a certain realistic expression.
However, in the later stages of the play, Wan Shan Tang became very kind and his attitude became much better. However, Liu Wei's performance in the first half was still the classic image of a village and town cadre.
fifth place: Zhang Zhijian
In " In the Name of the People ", there are many actors who play the role of cadres very well.
Zhang Zhijian, who plays Gao Yuliang, is the most special one among them.
In recent years, Zhang Zhijian has frequently appeared in supporting roles in various popular dramas, such as "The Awakener", " Bingyuhuo", etc., but when it comes to his most classic cadre role, Gao Yuliang is definitely the first..
In "In the Name of the People", Gao Yuliang is the big villain.
He has his hair combed back and wears glasses . He looks amiable, restrained and elegant, but deep down he is very complicated and full of contradictions.
If you read "In the Name of the People" carefully, you will get a glimpse of Gao Yuliang's way of being an official from his daily life.
Whether he is watering flowers, reading books, reading newspapers, talking to people, playing chess, making phone calls... Gao Yuliang always has a temperament that is different from ordinary people.
You can say that this is "holding back", but in fact, it is Gao Yuliang, as the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who has the sense of superiority that he regards himself as a big leader.
This sense of superiority is likely to be alleviated by Gao Yuliang's smile to others, in exchange for the evaluation of "people-friendly" .
But as the plot progresses, the audience will slowly discover that this method of expression and shaping was actually the "thunder" planted by Zhang Zhijian early on.
He used this method to shape Gao Yuliang's inner and outer appearance, creating an image of a big shot but close to the people. In fact, behind the scenes, this is the essence of Gao Yuliang.
In order to portray the role of Gao Yuliang, Zhang Zhijian worked hard.
In addition to pondering his own micro-expressions , the ability to smile without smiling and the character's character shown through facial expressions, even Fu Huadao, sometimes Zhang Zhijian also purchases them at his own expense.
He spent 7,000 yuan to buy a lot of cadre uniforms, because the glasses provided by the crew were too cheap. In order to highlight Gao Yuliang's elegant bookishness, he spent another 5,000 to 6,000 yuan to buy glasses himself.
Finally, Gao Yuliang, a well-known cadre, emerged.
For a feudal official like the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he should be indifferent to emotions , but it is difficult to perform the unusual behavior style that comes with life.
These can make Zhang Zhijian think through, which shows his acting skills.
In "bottomline", Zhang Zhijian once again played the role of a deputy president of the court named Zhang Weimin..
The majesty of drinking, the smile of conversation.
and the complex emotions and emotions in his eyes are still full of majesty.
plays a cadre, Zhang Zhijian really plays the role to the core.
Fourth place: Wu Yue
When watching "County Party Committee Courtyard", the first cadre that surprised Pi Ge was Ai Xianzhi played by Wu Yue.
, deputy secretary of the county party committee, guided the rectification work in a factory at the beginning.
Although County Magistrate Ai is not tall, he has a strong aura. When he speaks, he feels like he is giving guidance to the country, and his reproach and urgency are very similar to those of a local leader who takes charge of a certain task.
I have to say that in reality, many leaders are indeed like this.
In fact, this is not the first time Wu Yue has played a leader. In "Sweeping Crime Storm", she played Police Chief He Yun.
The third-level police inspector should be at the department level.
Wu Yue acted very well in the scene where
goes to prison to "jump out of jail". He still relies on his eyes to create a sense of oppression. With a police title, stares at him like this. Who wouldn't get scared?
The sense of majesty of the police chief in Wu Yue's portrayal is so powerful that it is enough to convince all the viewers in front of the screen.
Therefore, sometimes a good performance does not depend on the actor's height, appearance or even appearance.
An actor who can change his temperament and interpret any emotion with his eyes is very scary when acting.
No. 3: Tan Kai
Tan Kai has become completely popular since "The Storm". He has often appeared in movies and TV series in the past two years, such as the movie " Detective vs. " and the popular TV series " The Great Game ".
The basic role that laid the foundation for all this is the district chief Dong Yao he played in "Sweeping the Crime".
At the beginning, the audience did not know that Dong Yao was the villain. Tan Kai had a big back and was dressed in a cadre uniform. He was full of style as a district chief..
He was promoted from the deputy section chief of the Construction Committee. He started from the bottom, and under the influence of a twisted personality, he naturally enjoyed the pleasure of the peak of power..
However, in addition to being a strategist as a senior cadre, Tan Kai's shaping of Dong Yao is more about his performance as a "chess piece" .
Especially the scene where Li Chengyang went to the municipal government office building to expose him.
Tan Kai embodies almost all his emotions with facial micro-expressions. When the camera looks at his face, the audience can clearly feel the uneasy mood from the smile or even wrinkles.
This is very powerful, and it is a test of acting skills.
When an actor can accurately express that kind of uneasiness in a play without too many lines and actions, , he will definitely be a good actor. The essence of why Tan Kai's Dong Yao is so good is this.
What is even more commendable is that under any circumstances, Dong Yao, played by Tan Kai, has not lost the dignity of his "district chief" .
Even if he panicked and even begged for mercy, he made no move to break through the lower limit.
This also takes into account the last dignity of a fallen official.
Comparing Dong Yao at work and in the police station, both his expression and temperament are completely different.
One is classy but panicked, and the other is haggard but calm. These are Tan Kai's acting skills and the reason why he deserves to be seen by more audiences.
Second place: Wu Gang
"In the Name of the People" not only made Hou Yong popular, Zhang Zhijian became popular, but also Wu Gang.
Li Dakang, played by Wu Gang, , may be the most famous image of a cadre in recent years and the one that the audience loves to see.
It's hard to say whether Li Dakang is a decent character or a villain, but he had the last laugh in the play.
As the secretary of the municipal party committee, Li Dakang has an upright and self-denying side. Especially in the famous scene with his eyes, he has a great leadership style.
But Wu Gang’s role as Li Dakang didn’t become popular just because of a few looks and a few paragraphs of “art of speaking”.
Li Dakang played the secretary well, mainly in two aspects.
The first one is smart.
looked at the handshake and shook hands with the subordinates for inspection. The person who got off the bus did not move, and did not even want to stretch his arms forward, waiting for the subordinates to come over and shake.
But later I heard that Sha Ruijin was coming, but Li Dakang trotted all the way, happily, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Is this the hand you are holding? It's the worldliness of an official.
The second one is serious.
When we criticize acting skills, we often say a word called "boss face", which means that no matter when and where, he always has the same expression.
But for Wu Gang, under the seriousness, there are also rich psychological activities.
Without mentioning the plot, if Brother Pi just gives a few examples, you can find out how good Wu Gang's acting skills are.
had this serious face, and he went to the Public Security Bureau in person to find Zhao Donglai, who was responsible for 's investigation.
's serious face is an appreciation of Hou Liangping .
This serious face shows loyalty to the leader...
Every serious face has different psychological activities of the character in different situations.
As for Li Dakang's face, the audience can guess the character's mental state here and now without even looking at the plot.
This is the reason why Li Dakang is popular and Wu Gang is popular.
Wu Gang said frankly that he never thought that one day, his acting skills would be made into countless emoticons and spread.
But such a good actor and such a good cadre are worthy of the audience's appreciation and careful understanding.
No. 1: Xin Baiqing
There are many mayor roles, but Brother Pi still ranks this one as the mayor of Jichun City played by Xin Baiqing.
In dramas such as "In the Name of the People" and "County Party Committee Courtyard", cadres are played well. On the one hand, the actors perform well, and on the other hand, the most important roles are almost all cadres.
When everyone plays against each other, their identities are quite different, and their acting skills are similar, so it is easy to stand out.
But Xin Baiqing is different. In "The World", the absolute protagonists are ordinary workers and farmers.
And Xin Baiqing himself not only has to play the role of a mayor cadre among such a group of characters, but also spans 30 years in age. It can be said that combines the two "most difficult to act" factors.
Xin Baiqing's acting skills have been certified by the drama, so there won't be any big problems in character creation.
He has a slim appearance, elegant temperament, civil service aura, and people-friendly temperament. Especially in the play, he walked all the way and finally became the mayor, which is what the audience expected.
As for the explosion of his acting skills, in addition to the final scene of reuniting with Lao Yao and writing a suicide note, the ten-minute speech in the light-word film was full of firepower and full of aura.
He spoke with irony, but his tone was humble and decent, his attitude was refined and gentle, but the meaning behind his words was sonorous and uncompromising.
This aspect demonstrates Xin Baiqing's excellent line skills as a drama actor, and the topic of how far lines can push performances.
On the other hand, Xin Baiqing also used a speech to establish the image of a cadre who serves the people and does not seek public gain for personal gain.
The sincerity in his eyes is a reflection of his complete involvement in the drama. Listening to his speech, the audience outside the screen will also nod in agreement frequently. This is the personal charm of a performing artist.
Therefore, the mayor Zhou Bingyi will be recognized by viewers who have watched "The World".
In general:
Cadres themselves are not easy to act. Whether it is a good official or a corrupt official, it is a big challenge.
To play a good official, you must not only get rid of the preaching-like grandeur, but also not be too high-spirited.
To play a corrupt official, you must neither reveal the nature of the character prematurely nor stereotype or impress.
What's more, when it comes to playing the unified role of "cadre", there is no role worthy of reference, because the temperament of cadres at different stages, different levels, and even different regions is different.
Nowadays, many actors like to take such difficult roles to achieve transformation, but their acting skills cannot match such temperament , and in the end it often backfires.
It is precisely because cadres are difficult to act that the cadres in these popular dramas in the past five years have become so famous and discussed.
And these "cadres" also allowed us to discover countless outstanding actors .
They will gradually become the mainstay of Chinese dramas and are destined to bring us more and better works in the coming new year.
At the same time, these dazzling roles have also reminded some actors that if they don’t have diamonds, they really shouldn’t take on this porcelain job.
