Profile

The reason why an Rongsheng became a special actor of young Deng Xiaoping was also related to the great flood in southern China in 1999. That summer, an Rongsheng actively signed up to participate in the flood relief performance. Because he performed in the disaster area where the conditions were difficult, he specially cut his head for convenience. When eating in the guest house, many colleagues joked with him, saying that he looked like Comrade Xiaoping when he was young. An Rongsheng smiles and doesn't care. Before long, director Ding Yinnan wanted to make the film "accompany forever". Before he started, he had not found an actor to play young Deng Xiaoping. Someone suddenly thought of an Rongsheng with a small flat head. When the makeup artist finished making up for an Rongsheng, everyone was shocked by the effect - an Rongsheng embarked on "Deng Xiaoping's youth road".

Character experience

He successfully created the image of young Deng Xiaoping in the play "Red Bank", which shows the strategy of great wisdom and courage and the revolutionary spirit of not afraid of sacrifice of a generation of great Deng Xiaoping in the dangerous struggle environment. In the TV play "Long March" broadcast by CCTV, an Rongsheng brings the audience a new image of Deng Xiaoping. Gradually, an Rongsheng is famous for playing young Deng Xiaoping.

It is said that when an Rongsheng played Deng Xiaoping for the first time, he felt weak. One day, when the crew filmed a play in Paris, France, in which Deng Xiaoping was studying abroad, a group of middle school students, as mass actors, took a group photo with an Rongsheng. An Rongsheng asked them, "do you know who I play?" "Of course I know, Deng Xiaoping!" An Rongsheng finds self-confidence among these children. As long as an actor finds self-confidence, he can perform well. Once, when shooting "Red Bank - Deng Xiaoping in 1929" in Guangxi, the relevant leaders of the central major theme office specially came to the crew. When they saw an Rongsheng, they held his hand and said, "it's like that!" An Rongsheng gradually learned from the major theme office that his performance was also recognized by Comrade Deng Xiaoping's relatives and friends.

Every actor has his own special performing way, and an Rongsheng has found his own direction. In order to play young Deng Xiaoping well, an Rongsheng collected, read, observed and sorted out Comrade Xiaoping's videos, photos, movies and written materials, read all kinds of Deng Xiaoping's biographical novels and read selected works of Deng Xiaoping. At the same time, he often discussed the performance with Lucci, who played Deng Xiaoping most famous. Lucci believes that "in addition to being close in appearance, it is more important to grasp the spirit of the characters, that is, their origin, knowledge, experience, thought, demeanor, ideological connotation, etc. I try to approach leaders in these ways. " Every time when taking a picture, an Rongsheng will "go through" it in his mind. He will think about whether Comrade Xiaoping has ever appeared in similar scenes, who are around him, and how he looks and feels. In addition, an Rongsheng also tried his best to learn Sichuan dialect. In order to have a deeper understanding of Deng Xiaoping, he plans to visit Deng Xiaoping's younger brother who lives in Wuhan to learn more about Deng Xiaoping's daily life.

In order to be closer to Deng Xiaoping's inner world in performance, we have to speculate more about the details, from the form to the spirit. He chose Deng Xiaoping's favorite calligraphy to practice, in order to improve his performance. Because of an Rongsheng's excellent performance in "Red Bank - Deng Xiaoping in 1929", he is also regarded as Lucci's successor in the film and television industry. An Rongsheng admits that although he looks like Deng Xiaoping, if he wants to be closer to Deng Xiaoping's inner world in his performance, he still has to ponder more about the details, from resemblance in shape to resemblance in spirit.

In 2004, in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's birth, a gift film "Deng Xiaoping 1928", which reflects Deng Xiaoping's revolutionary life in his youth, was jointly produced by China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group. The art reproduces the revolutionary demeanor of a great man with both wisdom and courage, and shows the red marriage between Deng Xiaoping and Zhang Xiyuan under white terror for the first time. The film breaks the Convention, boldly innovates and uses the form of thriller to describe this period of history. The whole film runs through the tense rhythm and atmosphere, and the soul stirring struggle between the enemy and us is exciting. It is a wonderful film that perfectly integrates the thrilling scene and the fiery revolutionary passion.

After reading the script of Deng Xiaoping 1928, an Rongsheng felt that there was a lot of room for his performance. During this period, Comrade Deng Xiaoping held an important position in the CPC Central Committee for the first time, which strengthened his belief in the party's cause, which was also an important turning point in Comrade Xiaoping's life. An Rongsheng is ready to constantly explore the inner world of great men and strive to show Comrade Deng Xiaoping's mature, firm, decisive and persistent leadership temperament. At the premiere of the film in Beijing, Deng Lin and Deng Rong, the daughters of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, said excitedly after watching the film: "the film is very innovative and has strong visibility. The image of young Deng Xiaoping in the film is refreshing."

What's special

Compared with previous films, an Rongsheng thinks that Deng Xiaoping 1928 is particularly humanized. Lucci once told an Rongsheng that one of the keys to a good performance is to look at more photos of Deng Xiaoping and figure out his manner. Through playing Comrade Xiaoping many times, an Rongsheng feels that special actors do not have to deliberately imitate the leader's gestures and modeling, but should start from the heart and show the image of great people from the inside to the outside.

Social evaluation

As a "young Deng Xiaoping specialist", an Rongsheng has made the most efforts in this role. He hopes to play it all the time until he is old. As he studied traditional Chinese opera, he also hoped to try to take on some costume plays. But compared with films and TV plays, he prefers stage plays and the audience's warm applause, which is why he has always stayed in children's arts.

An Rongsheng also plays Deng Changlun in the digital film "Mianyang beacon".
