Before actor Cao Lei played Lu Xun in The Awakening Age, there were not many films and TV works with such a major historical revolution theme. His last out-of-the-box role was Guo Jia in The Military League.

This time, many viewers read Lu Xun's resume after being moved by Cao Lei, only to find that Cao Lei's acting skills are so superb that you can only remember his role, but forget the actor's own appearance.

For styling, it is appropriate to change three headdresses.

Cao Lei also said that it was a great surprise for him to play Lu Xun in The Awakening Age. This role is an olive branch thrown by Zhang Yongxin, director of "Military Division Alliance". Although he knew the role was very important, he accepted it gladly out of trust in the director. "Before joining the league, you should make a pose first, because you are not a special actor, so it is also important to look like a gentleman."

Cao Lei bluntly said that the first step for an actor to enter a role is to pursue similarity. He recalled that he did it for a week just for styling. Finally, the style used in the play is that the headgear is completely glued, and then the hair is trimmed on the headgear. "We changed three headgear, all of which were rejected, and finally found a suitable headgear. Every time you cut your hair separately on the hood, you have to cut it for another four hours. "

After setting the shape, it looks a bit like Mr. Lu Xun, and Cao Lei has some feelings. "It can be from the outside to the inside." Cao Lei said frankly that when filming a drama with a major revolutionary historical theme, the characters generally have prototypes, so it is not difficult to work at the desk. "We will understand the family background and historical era of the characters, but the biggest difficulty in this drama is not the desk, but how to truly restore the state of these historical figures together and how to let ordinary life penetrate into the lives of these great men."

In Cao Lei's view, this is also a question that the crew of The Awakening Age has been thinking about in their creation. They need a lot of daily life to enrich the image of great men. "Many of our usual impressions of characters are conceptual, so we should break these concepts and make the characters alive and warm."

He bluntly said that the whole team of Awakening Times has been working hard for this, and the final presentation result is still satisfactory. "No matter what kind of cultural background the audience is, seeing this drama will not alienate the times and characters in the drama. The characters are approachable and understandable. "
