In this film, we can not only see Zhang Yimou's powerful directing ability, but also Deng Chao's sacrifice for this film is very great. There are two completely different characters in the play, one is sinister, the other is honest and loyal, the other is skinny and the other is strong. In order to film Yu Zi, a seriously ill and scrawny character, Deng Chao lost dozens of pounds. Although the final evaluation of this film is not particularly satisfactory. But Deng Chao's efforts for this film are obvious to the naked eye. Among them, Deng Chao's acting skills have also been greatly improved, and the wily and sinister interpretation of Yu Ji, the governor who wants to usurp the throne, is incisively and vividly performed. If you don't pay special attention, it's hard to find that the man as thin as a skeleton is actually Deng Chao, then? Shadow? In stark contrast.
The plot of this film has ups and downs. Shadow? It's a great challenge for the actors to change Jingzhou into another role played by Deng Chao, and I will play it myself. Although the setting of individual roles and some plots are unreasonable, it does not affect the audience's appreciation of Deng Chao's acting skills. The inner state is so honest and confident, so simple and simple as a puppet loyal to his master, and the final state of being king has also made a subversive change to the simple role before, which is in contrast with Zi Yu, who died in the throne, seemingly thoughtful, but actually weak in heart, and once again forms a contrast, which makes the audience admire Deng Chao's acting skills.
