I didn't expect the annual "True King Fried" to be buried so deeply.
In November 2021, "News Network" unexpectedly recommended a TV series - "Boat of Peace".
At first, I only read the name, and I thought it was the "main theme" of the department.
As a result, after watching the punch in the face.
Cool and burning.
unbelief?
Look at the image first: the whole process is shocking wide 1.78:1 picture ratio.
What concept?
Cinematic format.
From the point of view, people do not regard themselves as TV dramas at all.
The Boat of Peace
Look at the main creator: Cao Dun, director of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and Feng Ji, screenwriter of "Red Sea Action".
As fast as the rhythm of American dramas, the information density of the first episode alone is enough to inject water into the drama to shoot ten episodes.
The actors' acting skills are all online, and Chen Kun is particularly stunning.

Finally, we can see the product side: CCTV is the leader, and the navy and localities are deeply involved.
Strength endorsement.
Such a card is reminiscent of the similar military-themed movie "Operation Red Sea" in 2018.

"The Boat of Peace" is said in the words of netizens, and it is also boiling with blood.
But the burning of "Boat of Peace" is not simply adding firewood to the fire.
Instead, it pushes people into "darkness" and then ignites them:
For example, in the first episode, Zhang Duhang, a naval medic played by Chen Kun, received an urgent order:
Head to an exotic fishing boat today.
What exactly is the task?
When the medical team reached its target through the thick sea fog.
The sight is creepy.
There are layers of crew remains everywhere, with hideous faces.
What happened to them?
Until the Chinese medical team found the two survivors behind a door with bloody handprints.
Only to find the culprit - bubonic plague.
There is another name for this disease: the Black Death.
It swept away one-third of Europe's population in the Middle Ages.
It is a highly endemic infectious disease.
At the beginning of "Boat of Peace", the Chinese soldiers were "forced" into the predicament.
Launch a "maritime fight against the epidemic".
But only in the depths of darkness can the light of humanity be seen.
Zhang Duhang was on a fishing boat, facing the death of the helicopter about to return without oil.
On the other hand, it is necessary to rescue frightened foreign children.
In the end, he chose to expose himself to the risk of infection of the "Black Death" and successfully rescued the child.
You may think that such a plot is too deliberate, too "screenwriting".
But the story of "Boat of Peace" – it's all true.
The "Peace Ark", which is called the Great White Ship by the audience in the play, is the "first" 10,000-ton professional ocean-going hospital ship developed by the Chinese Navy.
It had no naval guns, no torpedoes, but instead medicines, medical equipment, wards, and blood banks.
Some of the medical facilities inside are comparable to those of a tertiary hospital.
The Ark has been in service since 2008 and has traveled throughout the Gulf of Aden Sea, Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania and elsewhere.
It sailed more than 240,000 nautical miles and served more than 43 countries and regions, totaling more than 230,000 passengers.
True Peace Ark
The TV series "Boat of Peace" tells the story of the military doctors and naval soldiers on this ship.
When the true power shines into the play.
Zhang Duhang showed a sense of responsibility and believed that every Chinese would not be unfamiliar.
We have seen such responsibilities on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and we have also seen it in the fight against floods and disaster relief.

It is not only a humanitarian spirit, but also a quality that Chinese soldiers inherit.
Does the light of such a fire lit in the darkness play a role?
When the child who was rescued by Zhang Duhang left after recovering, he suddenly turned back.
He earnestly saluted Zhang Duhang with a military salute, a Chinese military salute.
You see, the light can be transmitted, and Zhang Duhang handed over the temperature of the Chinese soldiers to the heart of this child.
Chen Kun's performance must be mentioned here.
He used to be one of The Prettiest Fresh Meat Idols in China.
In "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" is Chen Zikun.
In "The Golden Powder Family" is Jin Yanxi.
Haiyan said of him: "Chen Kun looks like every character in my novel."
But Chen Kun has set a benchmark for transformation for all the idol actors in China.
At the moment when everyone in the entertainment industry is vying for exposure, he retreats and lives like a "half-immortal" without competing with the world.
Carefully polish every role he takes over.
Qian Xuesen, without relying on the prop master, silently wrote down a blackboard physics formula.
Playing a revolutionary pioneer, every muscle on the face carries a drama.
In "The Boat of Peace", he plays Zhang Duhang, a military doctor who has a "heart knot" because of a mission.
Chen Kun plays Zhang Duhang
This is not the first time Chen Kun has played a soldier, in 2006 he played a military doctor on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui".
It was only a little childish at that time.

Now his face is full of determination.
In "The Boat of Peace", Chen Kun's standard military hairstyle also makes the audience look in the eyes.
A good actor only has the role in mind, and there is no image burden.
It is precisely in this way that Chen Kun, who can release and receive, will play who is like whom.
Of course, "The Boat of Peace" continues to rise in word-of-mouth.
In addition to the starring force, the story is true, and it is inseparable from the "film standard" of director Cao Dun.
Iconic long shots, restrained lines, insisting on narrating in audiovisual language.
So it is no wonder that it won the national ratings in the premiere of CCTV.
But this TV series is the most memorable.
Or at the end of each episode, please come out the real "protagonist" who followed the Ark of Peace on a mission that year.
In their narration, we can see that with this hospital ship, it is not only medical assistance that is exported to the outside world, but also academic exchanges.
Even our TCM theory.
More importantly, it is not just a ship, but an expression of Chinese desire for peace to the whole world.
A kind of endorsement of China, shaking hands with the world's mind.
From this perspective, "The Boat of Peace" has a new era flavor.
For Chinese military dramas, we have found a door and a new direction.
