Recently, in addition to a few online dramas that have attracted attention, the TV screen has also become lively, because the high-quality dramas are coming again!
Look at the latest China audio-visual big data release: prime-time TV series ratings (November 27, 2021 - December 3, 2021), the TV series "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" ranked first in the ratings list, I am afraid that many people did not expect that the first place will be a major revolutionary historical drama.
This just shows that this drama is good.
"Fragrant Mountain Leaves Are Red" takes Xiangshan as the incision and tells the story of chairman Mao leading the CPC Central Committee from Xibaipo to Xiangshan from Xibaipo to "enter Beijing to catch the examination" after the peaceful liberation of Peiping in 1949, liberating all of China, preparing for the construction of new China, and building the four beams and eight pillars of new China.
It is worth mentioning that the director of the drama is Bartle, who has made "Supreme Interest" (Douban 9 points), "Predator" (Douban 8.4 points), "Jiangshan" (Douban 7.7 points), especially good at this kind of subject, can be said to be a director who understands the audience very well.
Sure enough, the drama was broadcast on CCTV, although it was another main theme TV series, but the angle was very novel, the expression was very delicate, and the history was presented from the dual perspective of the leader and the small person, and the overall context was both clear and very grounded, and immediately circled a large wave of drama fans.
Many viewers have become "tap water" and have spontaneously recommended this good drama on the Internet, thinking that they can "watch the history of drama learning".
Some viewers highly praised: "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong" This is a conscience drama, the actors are in place, the script does not drag mud and water, the character portrayal is very delicate, not artificial, not exaggerated, and the sense of historical reality is very strong. The chairman is bold, the prime minister's negotiation strategy and warmth, the boldness of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and the distinctive personalities of the other generals.
There are many viewers who like this drama, and some people conclude:
Great people have temperature, civilians have patterns, and "Fragrant Mountain Leaves are Red" is vivid and grounded.
There are also viewers who like the little characters in the play, saying:
Recommend the major revolutionary historical theme drama "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong", the group portrait drama is very colorful, especially the small characters Liu Eryong and Jiang Laiyang, written extremely vividly.
Let's talk about two little people: Liu Eryong and Jiang Laiyang.
Liu Eryong, this is a soldier who looks humble, but is very real and frank, is a guard with many good qualities. Many viewers liked this character very much.
For example, as the personal guards around Chairman Mao, they are naturally carefully selected small comrades, but Liu Eryong in this play is particularly cute.
The squad leader asked Liu Eryong, "What is your specialty?" ”
Liu Eryong's answer was actually: "Leg length!" ”
It is such a small person, gathering the excellent qualities of many soldiers, and the bravery, simplicity, and frankness of ordinary people, while maintaining the alertness of being a guard.
According to the summary of his actor Gao Feng, this role has three labels of sharpshooter, kindness and self-motivation at the same time.
Sharpshooter Eryong, although he is not very old, he has fought for 6 years, participated in the Tower Mountain Blockade Battle, and can shoot with both his left and right hands, he is not left-handed, he is "pure and pure training".
He was very kind, and although he had been a soldier for so many years, he still treated some things like a big boy. He was very motivated, because he was by Chairman Mao's side and heard about it every day.
In the daily life of this character and Chairman Mao, a lot of great wisdom is manifested through trivial things, which is very grounded in the presentation of characters, so that the audience feels a very strong sense of intimacy.
The leader of the troupe, Jiang Laiyang, is a fictional character, combined with the shadows of many heroic characters, the actor who plays this role is Zhang Ningjiang, who also played the staff officer Lei Yingfu in the movie "Changjin Lake".
His righteousness and handsomeness made the audience very recognizable, and from him, he could appreciate the perseverance of the Chinese soldiers of that era.
Talking about the creation of this drama, Zhang Ningjiang mentioned, "The fate is so wonderful, I have really been in the army, before the first unit of the Star Soldiers reported to the Jinan First Regiment, there was a very special emotion when creating. ”
As a main melody drama, to be able to rush to the first place in the ratings, it must be both thick and intimate, in addition to the above-mentioned performance of small people, in "Fragrant Mountain Leaf Zhenghong", the performance of the great leader is also very pyrotechnic.
As we all know, Tang Guoqiang has played the great leader Chairman Mao countless times, including the movie "Changjin Lake" some time ago. Some of the plot passages in "Fragrant Mountain Leaf Zhenghong" he has acted in other plays before, but this time the script made his eyes shine. According to director Battle, after Tang Guoqiang read the script, he praised the play for being more vivid and grounded.
Therefore, in the performance this time, Tang Guoqiang's performance pays more attention to detail, that is, the various paragraphs are broken and re-performed.
Battle gave an example of the action of "sitting every day", which Tang Guoqiang interpreted in several ways, sometimes sitting on the ground, sometimes leaning against the railing, and sometimes even sitting on the table.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Tang Guoqiang has shots of handwritten mao body calligraphy in the play, and these shots are not replaced by hands, they are all written by himself, and the photograph is his own hand, I have to say that it is too powerful!
Speaking of Mao calligraphy, it is necessary to mention the origin of Tang Guoqiang's role as the great leader Mao Zedong.
In 1996, when he first starred in Mao Zedong in the film "The Long March", he was initially controversial.
Because, the image of Mao Zedong played by Gu Yue in many important film and television drama works was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and at that time, many people's impression of Tang Guoqiang was still stuck in the early years of "Cream Xiaosheng" and Zhuge Liang in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
At that time, Tang Guoqiang was given confidence by Zhai Junjie, the director of the movie "Long March", who was the director of the film "Armageddon" trilogy, and Zhai directed tang Guoqiang, saying: "I have no doubt about the use of people, and doubtful people do not need to." He also gave Tang Guoqiang the most pertinent advice, to shoot this play well, the important "sincerity".
At that time, in order to play a generation of great people and live up to the director's trust in him, Tang Guoqiang made a lot of hard work, including writing: he studied hundreds of thousands of words of historical materials to analyze the real Mao Zedong; he practiced the "Mao body" calligraphy assiduously, and did not use his hands at all during the shooting process; and in order to fit the image of Mao Zedong at that time, he lost more than twenty pounds in forty days...
Finally, Tang Guoqiang in "Long March" received various praises with his refreshing image and delicate acting skills, and "Long March" became an important turning point in his acting career and became one of his important masterpieces.
In this regard, Tang Guoqiang said: "I am not a special actor, I am an actor, I am just on the screen or on the screen to create the image of a leader." ”
From the early works to a number of film and television works in recent years, on the one hand, we can see a Tang Guoqiang who is becoming more and more comfortable in performance, and on the other hand, we can see a Tang Guoqiang whose performance is more and more detailed and life-oriented.
This can be seen from the Role of Mao Zedong in "Decisive Moment" in 2019, in which Tang Guoqiang created an image of a great man who was humorous and funny outside of work, and even spoke English.
This time in "Fragrant Mountain Leaf Zhenghong", the interaction between Tang Guoqiang and the guards around him further expands the grounded side of the great man, which is quite interesting.
For example, during a meeting, the guards wanted to make new clothes for Chairman Mao and chase after Chairman Mao to tailor-made clothes, which made Chairman Mao unhappy. Such a simple episode outlines a frugal and simple leader - even if he is about to enter Beiping, he does not make new clothes, and he can be frugal.
There are also small scenes such as him mingling with the common people, smoking dry tobacco and eating peppers, and the whole drama not only portrays Chairman Mao's leadership and great demeanor, but also presents his daily life as an ordinary person, moody and sad.
But at the same time, even in a very small shot is permeated with a small view of the details -
Chairman Mao asked ErYong, the guard next to him: What do you think of Li Zicheng?
Eryong's answer was very direct and simple: Didn't Li Zicheng fail when he was proud?
A short dialogue not only showed the relationship between the two men and chairman Mao's affinity, but also showed the great leader's far-sightedness.
For Tang Guoqiang, every time he plays Chairman Mao, he has different feelings, "because different works intercept different historical eras and different emphases of performance." ”
Since starring in Mao Zedong in the movie "The Long March" in 1996, in 25 years, Tang Guoqiang has played Mao Zedong more than 40 times. Tang Guoqiang cherishes every opportunity, and in an interview with the media, he said that he was very lucky to be able to play a generation of great people and have been able to act until now.
This time starring in "Xiangshan Ye Zhenghong", Tang Guoqiang is also meticulous, according to director Bartle revealed, "Tang Guoqiang's teacher filming is very serious, his script is full of words, densely marked with revision opinions and noteworthy places." ”
Therefore, it is not surprising that such a good drama with a good main theme is the first in the ratings, because the audience is spontaneously recommending.
Really good drama, it will shine on its own.
The first time to recommend the interpretation of good movies, good dramas, good actors, life is like a movie, welcome to click to pay attention to the "number one cinema"
