Don't you guys think Jung Woo Sung's handling of the soldier role is great?

This film is adapted from the comics, so according to the logic of the comics, it is good to set up before and after. Combining too much with current events can feel naive + idealized. So I don't want to discuss this.

For Zheng Yusheng, I have to say something. Although I don't really like gunfights, I watched the part where he chases a truck on the road several times. Although it is very short, it has basically revealed the characteristics of his character.

In short, an extremely calm, experienced soldier.

Many actors (not limited to domestic actors) have exaggerated expressions when performing gunfight scenes, their eyes are wide, and their eyes are piercing. Standing behind the door and waiting for the enemy to come, he stared at him and looked wary. But Zheng Yusheng did not express it that way. And those who are familiar with him should know that he should not be too satisfied with his appearance in private hhhhhh, but as an actor, he never seems to bring this sense of superiority into the film. Also in "Iron Rain". At this point, many male actors in our country do not handle it this way when they are playing. He must be handsome when he pulls out a gun, he gets out of the car and takes a step to show his long legs, his expression is deliberately cold, and the eyes I just said are bright and so on.

In the scene of chasing the truck, Zheng Yusheng can be said to show his agility in a very "homely" way. For example, when he climbed out of the car window a few times and emerged most of his body, he turned around and sat on the window frame to shoot. As well as climbing back into the car a few times and shooting the truck directly from the smashed rear window. The actions are very daily, except that these plots appear in the movie, the audience will not feel that his actions are acting in a movie, or the illusion of "he knows kung fu" (think carefully about the soldiers who are only trained in combat, that kind of high The beautiful move of raising the leg and kicking super straight is really just a movie, right?). Even the evaluation of "handsome" is entirely from my personal point of view, and his own performance does not show such characteristics.

In the whole play, he is not the North Korean soldier we think = Wei Guangzheng, and his tone is like that of their news host, nor does he have the feeling of "I am North Korea" and "I represent the country", but all The action scenes are basically very commonplace and unusually calm. It can probably be understood that this is the quality of a professional soldier (although he has already retired), he does not have the kind of adrenaline rush, but instinctively sticks out the window to shoot, or instinctively pulls out a gun and waits to enter at any time. 's enemy. He didn't even have to open his eyes (to put it simply, he didn't open his eyes very hard at all, his expression on weekdays was completely different from that in the movie), and he didn't feel the light of righteousness shining on him when he killed the so-called "coup d'etat". The whole thing is everyday, everyday, everyday.

He didn't open his eyes carefully at all, seriously.

Do you want to say that he has no expression on his face and no waves in his heart? no. Combining with his settings, ① an impoverished North Korean and ② suffering from cancer all year round, he can probably understand the reason why this person is not such a "spiritual boy", the tempering of life and the torment of illness, he has taken this too lightly Now, maybe he didn't even have the strength to make him pretend to be so vigorous and full of fighting spirit on the surface.

The doctor said, how could he not feel, these diseases are very painful. As a result, Zheyu came back and asked him, how do you feel about your body? It must have hurt to be shot. As a result, Tieyou said that maybe he took too much analgesic, and he didn't feel anything, but he slept well for a long time. It's so distressing...

As for the way he handled this soldier, it really doesn't matter if you don't think about it, you will think that this kind of person is probably really like this. A calm middle-aged retired soldier: when he gets the gun and loads it, he just stares at the target, the car has not stopped and the door is already open and ready to jump off. That's what his life seems to be like.

Just finished loading, eyes are just staring, not hate or ruthless

Here, after he opened the door, the car continued to slide for at least 3-5 meters

As an aside, I was curious about his enlistment photos at one time, but later I found out that such a tall actor has not actually served in the military (I heard that it was because the high school graduation degree was too low to be accepted). When I watch "Iron Rain", I can't stop thinking about this, so my mood is also very subtle.

As for the nature of his acting. At least no one will laugh at his Korean dialect in "Iron Rain", but when the other two actors in "Iron Rain 2" speak Korean, Zheng Yusheng will laugh at him. I have been to him, and the basic words are "very professional". In addition, you can also watch the 2016 "Asura" crew participated in "Infinite Challenge" and reenacted the sitcom hosted by the 6 permanent hosts of "Infinite Challenge". The rivalry between Zheng Yusheng and Huang Zhengmin didn't feel too good. Huang Zhengmin's lines are first-class, Zheng Yusheng has few lines but his eyes are full of content. Although I haven't won the title of Best Actor at major awards ceremonies before this, I have been nominated many times.

(In so many film critics, no one has carefully analyzed how actors digest roles, which is quite... There is really nothing to criticize about a role someone can easily pick up, but such an obviously different role should be carefully paid attention to. Of course , maybe it's also because I've watched too many routine films, so that he would be surprised by the slightest difference in his handling.
