#Film and Television Miscellaneous Talks #Jiana Shahati's centenary tribute drama "Big Wave Taosha" directed by Jiana Shahati is being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV.
The drama interprets the groundbreaking event of the founding of the Communist Party of China from a new perspective, and for the first time focuses on the 13 deputies of the Communist Party of China, focusing on the choice of faith, life experience and fate trajectory of their revolutionary careers.
"Big Waves and Sands"
At present, "The Great Waves and Sands" is another conscience drama with the theme of party history that ordinary audiences are willing to chase after after "The Age of Awakening".

For many viewers, director Jana Shahati may be unfamiliar, but at the same time familiar.
Jana Shahati
Previously, the TV drama works she served as the general director or executive director occupied a place in domestic dramas, such as "Qia Classmate Boy", which created a new era of great dramas, "Daming Dynasty 1566", and then "Liu Shaoqi, the Communist", "Autumn Harvest Uprising", and this "Great Wave Taosha".
The historical background of "Big Wave Taosha" is from the May Fourth Movement in 1919 to the "Seven Congresses" held in 1945, with a long time span, and "Big Wave Taosha" cleverly uses a two-line narrative to avoid the embarrassment of the plot becoming a running account;
Of course, it cannot be denied that the director and screenwriter of Chen Qihang's modern line are a bit "mashed up", the role is like a tool man, there is not enough emotional output, and the current function is only narration and transition, which seems very chicken;
The costume is detached from the Hengdian style and is not cheap.
02
The shaping of the main characters in the "historical line" is very successful, and Gao Junman, who "came out" from the "Age of Awakening", finally began to teach, no longer a traditional female figure who can only cook and teach her children;
Compared with "The Age of Awakening", the role of Chen Duxiu is closer to history in "Big Waves and Sands" and has not been deliberately beautified. In fact, Chen Duxiu in history is grumpy and patriarchal, and the performance in this drama is vivid, and the actor Cheng Taishen also plays three points.
The portrayal of a major representative is also a top priority.
03
The leader is played by Bao Jianfeng, who previously played a young leader in the film "Xiangjiang North" directed by director Chen Li, and also has some acting experience.
Bao Jianfeng
However, in this "Big Wave And Sand", the leader played by Bao Jianfeng is not outstanding, and can only be described as "decent", and he does not show enough leadership temperament in the 13 "big representatives".
First, age is also a major obstacle for actors to perform, Bao Jianfeng was 45 years old when filming "Big Waves and Sands", the necessary hardware conditions for shaping the leaders of youth are less, and the extra flesh on the actor's face and even the double chin affect the shaping of young leaders;
Second, Bao Jianfeng's own temperament is very gentlemanly, giving the audience a sense of humility and kindness, and his appearance is also full of natural elegance, which is the advantage of his acting path. However, it cannot be called an advantage when shaping a great leader, because this is somewhat different from the temperament of the great man.
In the TV series "Big Waves and Sands", Bao Jianfeng's eyes are too soft, the book is too angry, the expression of lines is insufficient, and the spirit of the revolutionary who should have the character is lacking.
The leader is first of all a typical Hunan person, "eat bitterly, be patient, bully, and not afraid of death", and there is a summary corresponding to "hegemony and patience"--"Hunan mule", which is the basic principle that any actor should grasp when shaping a leader, and Bao Jianfeng's understanding of this is slightly shallower.
Hou Jingjian
While "Next Door" "Glory and Dreams" and "Hit the Water in the Middle Stream" were broadcast at the same time, Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun, who played the young leader in the two dramas, were more full of charm, and the stubbornness and persistence in their eyes let the audience see the revolutionary state that the leader should have.
04
In the TV series "Big Waves and Sands", Bao Jianfeng's performance is slightly inferior, and this contrast is not only reflected in the contrast with Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun of "next door", but also in the contrast with characters such as "Zhang Guotao" in the same drama.
Taking Zhang Guotao in "A Big Representative" as an example, actor Xia Tian successfully portrayed this role and even robbed Bao Jianfeng of the play.
In history, Zhang Guotao once became Mao Zedong's "nemesis", he was stubborn, obedient, stubborn, cold, and even blind, and he was also a "left" crazy figure.
And "Big Waves and Sands" made a comprehensive interpretation of this role, and the actor Xia Tian also vividly expressed his talented and unscrupulous "Shen Yun", especially after the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the whole role has changed, although he is in our party, he has been everywhere looking down on the faces of comrades, and he can play three points.
Zhang Guotao once mentioned in his memoirs that he was not "spicy" enough, and the "contrast character" was Mao Zedong, whom he hated with his teeth, and he thought that Mao Zedong's personality was more "spicy". However, in this "Big Wave and Sand", the degree of "spicy" of the leader portrayed by Bao Jianfeng is inferior to that of "Zhang Guotao", which is exactly contrary to history.
05
In addition to "Zhang Guotao", the portrayal of characters such as Zhou Fohai is also successful, thanks to the successful "tuning" of director Jana Shahati.
The core of the character shaping of historical dramas should be the personality of historical characters, and it is also worth speculating and playing with, especially once there is historical comparison and performance comparison, the gap is reflected very thoroughly.
In "The Great Waves and Sands", Bao Jianfeng, as the absolute male protagonist, is not highly invested, and the portrayal of the great man focuses on elegance and bookishness, and lacks the "spirit" of the revolutionary, which affects the texture of the whole play to a certain extent.
