On the night of October 16, the official media platform of CCTV TV series released a final trailer for the TV series "Red Flag Canal", and later, the data platforms such as the drama's encyclopedia updated the specific broadcast time and broadcast platform: october 18, 2021, it was broadcast on CCTV, and broadcast simultaneously on iQiyi and CCTV. Due to the starring of Zhen and An Yuexi, Zeng Li, Li Qinqin and Kou Zhenhai and many other powerful actors have played important roles in the play. Obviously, this is a serious narrative TV drama work, which is very worth looking forward to.
The plot synopsis of the TV series "Red Flag Canal" actually does not need to be introduced too much. Audiences familiar with the Hongqi Canal know that in the 1960s, the people of Linxian County built the Hongqi Canal. This "Red Flag Canal" is to use the way of TV drama to re-present the process and significance of the construction of this water canal in that year. It is worth noting that in 1971, the Central News Documentary Film Studio filmed a documentary on "Red Flag Canal". The documentary was also shown at the United Nations as a video work after China's return to the United Nations.
In recent years, there have been many documentaries about the Hongqi Canal, but there are not many works that have really formed TV dramas. Because of this, this drama version of "Red Flag Canal" is more noteworthy. For the audience in the new era, it is obvious that they are no longer aware of the difficulties of the older generation when they built the Hongqi Canal in the 1960s. Therefore, although this TV series is a period drama and a rural drama, it is especially worth recommending for young audiences. You can see in the play how Chinese people have created another miracle in the world in the most difficult environment. Hongqiqu was once known as one of the eight wonders of the world.
In the play, actor Yu Zhen plays the chief designer of Hongqi Canal. Perhaps because Yu Zhen has starred in many TV dramas with the theme of the War of Resistance, some viewers have an established impression of actor Yu Zhen as "shouting". After the release of the final information of the play, on some platforms, there have indeed been a certain number of viewers who have commented that Yu Zhen seems to be unable to play the role of the chief designer of this red flag canal. I have a personal opinion on this.
When we think of designers, we always form the stereotype of gentleness and elegance. In fact, this established impression is only brought to us by film and television drama works in recent years. Putting the chief designer of the Hongqi Canal into a specific chronological background, he is not only not a weak scholar, but must also be a kind of wind and fire, and the momentum is like a rainbow. If you think about it, without the momentum of daring to change the sun and the moon for a new day, how can this red flag canal be successfully excavated in an era when manpower and material resources are very backward? Because of this, I actually think that Yu Zhen's starring role is very suitable. It is that the male protagonist should be allowed to perform the momentum of rolling up his sleeves and working hard. This is not a kind of life inspiration for the current young audience.
The heroine An Yuexi played Shi Shuilian in the TV series "Red Flag Canal", which is the "Captain of the Iron Maiden Team". Listening to the name, the audience will be able to know what kind of posture the heroine will appear in the play. The image of women at that time was really a great progress for Chinese women, and everyone, like men, was a labor expert, and with their own labor, they gained the respect of equal pay for equal work. It is worth noting that in the TV series "Meritorious Service", the image of Shen Jilan, played by Jiang Xin, is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - a labor expert, not worse than men, which is the best praise for Chinese women.
In addition, Zeng Li, Li Qinqin, Kou Zhenhai and many other powerful actors have played important roles in the play. Judging from the content of the trailer, Zeng Li should play the wife of the male protagonist. Li Qinqin plays the role of Shui Gen Niang. In particular, Li Qinqin's role is simply the appearance of a typical rural old lady. In the play, the audience can see a strong local taste of Henan.
The TV series "Red Flag Canal" was completed by two screenwriters, namely Guo Yaping and Fan Shengzhen. These two screenwriters have already published a number of film and television drama works. Their screenwriting style is tough and powerful, and mastering the theme content of "Red Flag Canal" should be able to present the momentum of the year when everyone was working together to repair the Great Canal.
The director of the play, Corning, may not be familiar to young audiences anymore. Corning's co-directed film "The Day I Left Lei Feng" was once the film memory of a generation. So far, many of the bridges in this film are still important adaptations in some acting competition variety shows. The TV series "Migrant Workers of Survival" co-directed by Corning is a hit TV series in the years after 2005. To this day, Douban still maintains a 9.5 points of audience praise.
The theme content of the TV series "Red Flag Canal", the level of screenwriter and director, and the starring lineup are all reassuring. Of course, a TV drama that reflects the unity of everyone in the last century to build water channels obviously has a very strong attraction for us middle-aged and elderly audiences. For a young audience? That's what I'm worried about. Therefore, we should recommend it to young audiences - everyone should also be able to see the sense of power from the play, and this sense of power can be used for our work and life.
