On January 21, the list of TV dramas filed for December was announced, and Zhang Yimou's first TV series has been filed.
It is reported that the screenwriter of "Loading Stage", Chen Yan's novel "Protagonist", which won the Mao Dun Literature Award, will be made into a TV series, and Chen Yan also revealed earlier that the director of the play is Zhang Yimou. This will be Zhang Yimou's first tv series to direct this, so looking forward to it!
The novel "Protagonist" tells the story of the encounters and ups and downs of Qin E's half-century life, and its connection with the ups and downs of Qin Cavity and the great history.
Zhang Yimou directed his first film "Red Sorghum" and won the Golden Bear Award at China's first international film festival, and then directed "Ju Dou", "The Big Red Lantern Hangs High", "Qiu Ju Fights lawsuits", "Alive", etc. The film has won film awards at home and abroad, and the director's film has repeatedly broken the box office record of Chinese films.
Most of the films directed by Zhang Yimou use traditional Chinese culture as a background to tell Chinese stories. The original novel of the TV series on the record is also telling a Chinese story in a classical Chinese way, which is very close to Zhang Yimou's style. Netizens also said that "a play about Qin actors, it is most appropriate for him to direct it."
In addition, Zhang Yimou's movie "Sniper" will also be released in the Spring Festival file. "Sniper" is a film co-directed by Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo, starring Chen Yongsheng and Zhang Yu, and specially performed by Zhang Yi. Set against the backdrop of the "Cold Gun And Cold Artillery Movement" in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the film tells the story of the battle between the Chinese Volunteer Army and the US Army in a deadly battle.
Looking forward to the film directed by Zhang Yimou, and also looking forward to the smooth start of the TV series!
