on september 30, 2024, the war masterpiece "volunteers: battle of life and death" directed by chen kaige was officially released nationwide. the film focuses on the cheorwon blockade in the fifth battle of the war to resist us aggression and aid korea. tens of thousands of volunteers fought fiercely with the enemy through "nights of life and death." the soldier yang chuanyu, played by actor li zhuoyang, also left a deep impression on the audience.
the growth from mortal to hero is full of human arc
as a character throughout the two movies "volunteers: attack" and "volunteers: battle of life and death", yang chuanyu has experienced two life-and-death battles, the battle of songgu peak and the cheorwon blockade, in which the enemy was outnumbered and the strength gap was huge. on songgu peak, the heroic third company with more than a hundred troops resisted the attack of thousands of american troops, and the entire company was almost wiped out. yang chuanyu, who managed to survive because of his cowardice, returned to the battlefield with self-blame and regret. when yang chuanyu reunited with his former deputy company commander sun xing (played by chen feiyu), he finally confessed his former cowardice, volunteered to complete the most difficult task, and finally died heroically in the caochuan reservoir to cover his comrades in completing the gate opening task. mortals are all made of flesh and blood, and there is no one who is not afraid of death! the journey of a hero's growth must be accompanied by pain and tears. the realism of yang chuanyu's character allows the audience to better understand the arc of the flesh-and-blood character.
the tough guy inside the film and the cute guy outside the film create a full sense of contrast.
a full-bodied and real character appears on the screen, and the actor's careful shaping is evident. li zhuoyang, who plays yang chuanyu, also shared his understanding and insights of the character with the audience during the film roadshows and interviews: "the justice of family and country triumphs over human instinct, and his fear and escape are in sharp contrast with his heroic death later. this behind the growth is a pile of blood." however, unlike the image of a tough guy in the movie, li zhuoyang always has a shy and cute feeling in real life. the confusion when facing the audience and the true feelings revealed when hearing the stories of veterans all show the contrast between li zhuoyang's screen and outside.
looking back on li zhuoyang's past, he has starred in "changjin lake", "people's prosecutor", "hutuo children" and other works. he has a solid resume and is a rare tough guy niche type in domestic entertainment. however, after many years since his debut, he still has a "newcomer beauty" and remains focused on the role and uneasy about the audience. it is this sincerity in polishing the character seriously and facing the audience with sincerity that has allowed him to work steadily until today, breaking through himself time and time again in his works. i believe that li zhuoyang’s future will bring more excitement to the audience!
