Of course, this is not the last hot search term of "Ace Troop", since the launch of iQiyi and Jiangsu Satellite TV on December 26, 2021, "Ace Troop" has repeatedly achieved good results in ratings, and the popularity remains high.
On the evening of January 16, the drama took the lead in iQiyi, and on the evening of the 18th, its broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV will also usher in the finale. The smooth conclusion of the series made the show's general director and screenwriter Liu Yan full of emotion, and when interviewed by many media, including Jimu News, she said that from the creation, preparation, filming to broadcast of "Ace Troops", "the ups and downs have experienced ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties", "Without a strong team to persist, this drama can not go to today." ”
Pay tribute to your comrades-in-arms through your works
"It is my duty to tell the story of the military that moves"
Liu Yan is the former director of the Television Art Center of the Guangzhou Military Region, who has been deeply engaged in military creation for 20 years, although it is not highly prolific, but "Homecoming Like a Rainbow" with her as a producer and director has won the second prize of the 24th Feitian Awards, the Golden Eagle Award for Outstanding Long-form TV Series, the first prize of the 22nd Golden Star Award for Long-form TV Series and the Outstanding Director Award;
In 2010, the "Bing Feng" she directed and co-wrote won the first prize of the 28th Feitian Award for long-form TV series, the first prize for long-form TV drama at the 23rd Golden Star Award, and the five-one project award for the construction of spiritual civilization in the 12th Central Propaganda Department.
"Ace Troops" is the third military long-form TV series that Liu Yan has devoted to creating, and it is also the realization of her dream of creating a "sovereign trilogy". In the interview, she left a message mentioning that she began to work as a director in the army, so she has a deep affection for the army and thinks more about the subject of home and country, "I always have a dream of a 'sovereign trilogy', the first is about the return of Hong Kong, and later filmed as "Homecoming Like a Rainbow"; the second part is about Tibet Shubian, and later filmed as "BingFeng". And this third part of the "Ace Troops", the story is related to the story of the growth of the military in the southern coastal frontier of the mainland.
As a 34-year veteran, Liu Yan integrates his sense of mission for the military and his deep feelings for the army into "Ace Troops", "The commitment and sacrifice of soldiers need to be paid attention to and cherished by someone all the time, and I feel the responsibility to tell the moving story of the military, pay tribute to the fathers, and pay tribute to those ordinary comrades-in-arms." ”
The vivid characters are the deep impression left by "Ace Troops" to the audience, Liu Yan mentioned that she hopes that the soldiers in the play are alive, "They are young people with seven passions and six desires and a sense of truth, they have the right to be confused, and they also have the ability to break the cocoon of themselves, they are not symbols, they are not born ace soldiers, they have to face loss, face life and death, we pay attention to their emotional choices in a desperate environment." ”
Judging from the audience's evaluation, "Ace Troop" combines the individual's youth growth with the 40-year journey of strengthening the army, and finally realizes the perfect integration of youth narrative and thick theme; and the fresh combination of Huang Jingyu, Xiao Zhan, and Zhong Chuxi, the three leading actors, is matched with the "ace lineup" of military dramas such as Li Youbin and He Zhengjun, and is properly balanced.
Respect and discover the light of "people" in stories
The living army crowd resembles the idealism behind it
In the interview, Liu Yan especially thanked the actors for their efforts, "Several young protagonists are not soldiers, but they are very conscientious and have a strong love and dedication to the role. I remember when they were fighting, they all called each other comrades in arms, hugging and saying goodbye with tears in their eyes. ”
At the same time, the joining of mature actors from Li Youbin, Fu Chengpeng, Xu Honghao, Zhao Xun, Sun Xun, Hou Mengsha, Liu Xiaojie and other mature actors added a full military temperament to the series, "They were once soldiers, and they also played countless soldiers, this time in "Ace Troops", they poured their hearts and souls, blending the love for the army and the love for the characters vividly and movingly, injecting the 'army atmosphere' into the whole drama. In particular, a number of old drama bones such as Li Youbin can be said to be the 'dinghai god needle' of this drama. ”
From story construction to actor matching, "Ace Troops" counts the journey of a strong army for forty years, showing the bloody military career of five generations of soldiers. On the 16th, the series ushered in the finale of iQiyi, Huang Jingyu, Xiao Zhan, Zhong Chuxi, Mao Linlin and other posted farewell roles, thanked each other and paid tribute to thousands of heroes who dedicated their youth and defended their families and the country.
Liu Yan was even more emotional, she said that she hopes to find those fragments of military camp life that have been scattered and loyalty and faith throughout through "Ace Troops", and she wants to talk about something else, "that is idealism."
In the play, Gu Yiye, played by Xiao Zhan, is the embodiment of this idealism, "Idealism is something that people in that era can't do, people who can't love, and can't change the past--those who want to fall in love and are scared by the roar of the squad leader and never see each other again in this life; those soldiers who want to lecture on morality, are reprimanded by the staff officer, and tearfully "betray" their comrades-in-arms; those soldiers who have sworn countless times and hoped to one day shine on the scene but always fail and are frustrated..."
She hopes that friends who have been soldiers can return to their youth through this drama, "We are used to telling the reality, we will tell friends who have no military experience, the discipline of the army is strict, you will encounter a lot of hardships and setbacks and even blows, but we hope to cheer up these people who have experienced the hardening and growth of the military camp furnace, like Sorghum, Gu Yiye, Jiangnan Zheng, do those ridiculous, infuriating, cute, and respectable things together, even if there are many things that have not been done and not done well, it does not matter." Because, I believe you in the real world will do it. ”
