"Human World", the first national drama of the beginning of the year, is undoubted.
It is precisely because the audience's voice is too enthusiastic, after the completion of the central one, the drama quickly opened the second round of broadcast in the central eight.
Although it is a second round of broadcasting, the drama can still break the ratings of 2, continue to win the first place in the national ratings during the broadcast period, and suppress the big dramas such as "Meet the Season", "The Rest of Life" and "Heart Residence" broadcast at the same time.
It is equivalent to a "Human World", and the two sets of CCTV programs have jointly won the first place in the national ratings for nearly two months. You say, this is not called the annual king fried, what is the king fried.
However, this 58-episode drama was broadcast in the second round of Central Eight, and it was finally over.
Who has the strength to take over "The World of Man" and become the next king bombing drama of the Central Eight that has also been popular in recent years?
On March 27, that is, tonight, another era drama unveiled the mystery, 4 years of waiting, CCTV sent five dynamic boosts in a row, only for this night to decide, it is time to introduce it, gorgeous debut - "A Generation of Hong Shang".
CCTV buying dramas, it is never possible to be fooled by the drama side, this time, the old drama bones are really not here to stand for young actors, the first two of the cast list: Zhang Fengyi, Li Liqun.
Coincidentally, Zhang Fengyi's special appearance in "Love Fight Will Win" was broadcast in the golden file of Yangyi.
But the old drama bones, more than two, Ding Haifeng, Kou Zhenhai, Niu Li, a proper old drama bone out of the big drama.
If you say, "The World of Man" is a civilian epic of a Chinese family and three generations spanning 50 years.
Then "A Generation of Hong Shang" is the story of three generations of people in the historical background of the collusion between profiteers and government officials, warlords, Japanese spies and bandits.
The former is realistic, the latter is more legendary.
But the roads left in the legend are all the rings carved by history.
In the CCTV dynamics, a line by Li Liqun in the play was recorded, sonorous and powerful, and the force broke through the thousands of jun - "As long as the bottom oil of this barrel is still there, our Hongyou line and Hongjiang City will never kneel." ”
Sure enough, watching the era drama, CCTV is enough to taste. Let's take a look at how powerful the three bottom oils of the episode are.
The first "bottom oil": a Legend of Xiangshang who would rather lose silver than conscience
A generation of Hong shang, derived from Hong oil.
Hongjiang is rich in high-quality tung oil, which people call "Hong oil". But hong oil is not easy to come by.
The so-called Hong oil, is refined and processed on the basis of tung oil, the soil method of oil extraction is time-consuming and laborious, seven or eight people can work together to promote the wooden stakes, in a little bit of dry oil cake in one by one. Today's flood oil adopts mechanized production methods and simplified process formulas, and the quality of the flood oil produced is no longer comparable to that of the flood oil of that year.
See it, Hong Oil, it is difficult to please, and those who can do this oil are all -- "crazy"?
At the beginning of the story, Liu Yunxiang, the treasurer of the Yuanlong oil number played by Zhang Fengyi, directly shouted this sentence at Yang Tongchang, the manager of the Hengshun oil number played by Li Liqun.
No wonder, because the other side wants to fight with him. Bucket oil is bucket oil, where crazy?
Miss Liu Jia, played by Zhang Hanyun, said in a broken word: Fighting oil is fighting for life.
According to the old rules, whoever loses, sinks the pond.
Make no mistake, it's not the oil that sinks, it's the people who sink.
The origin is that Liu Yunxiang pointed out that the yang family's oil is hong oil, but it is not the top flood.
In a word, it aroused Liu Yunxiang's fighting heart.
Life can not be lost, the goodwill and face left by the ancestors cannot be lost.
Well, then fight.
outcome? Liu Yunxiang lost on the surface, and was indeed sunk in the pond, but the person had just sunk into the water with the iron cage, and Yang Tongchang reported to himself that he was the one who lost--"In fact, it is me who lost, and it is also me who should sink the pond." ”
Found that no, where this fight oil, in fact, the fight, is the goodwill, is the character, but also the character of Hong Shang.
Zhang Fengyi's role lost, conceded defeat, sink pond, sink!
Li Liqun's character luckily won, but he took the initiative to tell the truth, preferring to risk sinking ponds and damaged goodwill rather than telling lies.
This is the resounding Hong Shang!
Guarding their own "one acre and three points of oil field", they should do their duty and do business honestly. Oil is more important than life, how can such a person be fake adulterated.
A plot full of conflict directly shows the background of Hong Shang.
But it is this group of people who do business that have to be involved in the torrent of the development of the times.
The story of "A Generation of Hong Shang" focuses on the Xiangjiang region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the legendary story of Hong Shang's contribution to the country while circling with various people and horses in the storm of the times.
The core protagonists are Zhang Fengyi and Li Liqun, who play two old treasurers.
Liu Yunxiang had two daughters, Tianchan Tianjuan, under his knees, while Yang Tongchang had two sons, Yang Dajiang and Yang Erjiang, as well as a lost daughter.
These two families have commercial competition and cooperation, there are grudges and reconciliations, and there are also love and hatred between children. When everything is put into a big choppy era, it's interesting.
Because those who sell oil must also make a choice in the face of the righteousness of the country. In the torrent of great historical changes, these two families have chosen their home country and righteousness. It closely links the fate of the individual with the life and death of the country and the nation.
Oil refining, between each ring, is not evenly distributed, good wind and good rain, good oil.
In the face of a fierce year, things are difficult. But it's time to strike.
In the story, the two families experienced a series of major historical events such as the "Eight Kingdoms Ultimatum", "Northern Expedition", "Currency Reform", "Tong oil loan", "Battle of Changde" and "Battle of Western Hunan".
There is a sinister warlord played by Ding Haifeng who lists the crimes of collaborating with the enemy, and the industry is in danger, Zhang Fengyi said in the play, "Since someone does not let us be servants, then be the master." "When you meet the wicked, fight with them and fight with them."
There is also a critical moment for the country, which needs hongshang to produce oil, pay money, and contribute, then it will be out.
Tongyou loan, in the face of foreign businessmen asked, what to use as collateral, Zhang Fengyi in the play sonorous and powerful two words - "Hongyou". Deals.
What happened to Hong Shang in that era? On weekdays, peace is precious and morality is resented.
At the critical moment, a promise of thousands of gold, words and deeds will bear fruit, the country is in crisis, the autumn of the survival of the nation, a generation of Hongshang, proud of the tide.
The two treasurers, firmly at the helm in the storm, several pairs of sons and daughters, all threw themselves into the revolution, the Yang family, Yang Dajiang joined the underground party to raise military funds, and the second son threw himself into the battlefield and was eventually killed.
The Liu family, the two daughters have fallen in love with Yang Dajiang, but both put aside their children's private feelings and resolutely joined the struggle against the traitors, and finally Tianjuan accidentally sacrificed.
In the galloping era, there will be sacrifices.
The road ahead is difficult, how can Chinese businessmen move forward without losing morality? Hong Shang action replied: "Business in the world, a word nine ding" "Rather lose silver than conscience."
The rules of the old ancestors, keep them, and keep them to the end.
The so-called legend, in fact, is a generation of HongShang wind bones. This story is strong enough.
The second "bottom oil": five old drama bones sit in town, this drama is enjoyable
Patience concocted, just out of the flood oil, if you want to top the flood, it is more difficult. It has to go through many processes such as "baking", "crushing", "cake making", "drying", "oiling" and so on.
A trumpet hit a hammer of oil, until those wooden stakes were beaten, and there was almost no room for compression, only to see the tung oil dripping, from thin to thick, and then thin, until the last drop could not drip, only to squeeze the oil dry.
Seven or eight people do it for a day, only to squeeze out 3 oil. That's the top flood.
Do the oil as it is, do the same with the drama.
They all say that "The World" is good. What's the good?
In my opinion, the value of "The World" is that its success is a kind of "clumsy success".
A group of people nestled in Changchun, northeast China, grinding day and night, using the oldest craftsmanship to perform the best plays. This is not the success of big data computing, it is the success of craftsmanship.
"A Generation of Hong Shang" also let me see this old craft.
A long picture depicting the history of Hong Shang's trek, of course, there are no young actors, but carrying the whole play is still an old drama bone.
I know that many TV dramas use the banner of old drama bones as "tool people" to raise the coffee of the whole drama, and this drama is really not. Say a few of the old drama bones that I value the most.
First, Zhang Fengyi.
Played the first male protagonist Liu Yunxiang, "Yuanlong" oil trumpet treasurer. Ingenuity, righteousness awe-inspiring.
In the play, Liu Yunxiang, between the old and the new ideas during the Republic of China, Zhang Fengyi saw a foreign businessman wearing a suit and leather shoes, and Li Liqun wearing a horse's coat robe. It can be seen that its merchants are flexible.
But some can change with the trend, and some can't change when they die.
During the years of war, he took charge of the Yuanlong Oil Is a piece of "big fat meat" that everyone knows, coercion, inducement, bankruptcy crisis, but he is afraid but does not give in, "even if he loses silver, he will never lose his conscience."
Playing such an atmospheric masculine and resourceful role is really not a second choice.
After all, masculine and bloody roles, Zhang Fengyi has played "Camel Xiangzi" and "Overlord Farewell".
Rich, complex roles, including "The Age of Peace" and "The Sky of History", with these two dramas, he has twice won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor.
What about the Wise Character? In the Name of the People.
This time Zhang Fengyi has a lot of scenes, completely carrying the whole drama, just waiting to see you.
Second place, Li Liqun.
Played Liu Yunxiang's lifelong enemy and lifelong best friend - Yang Tongchang, the manager of the "Hengshun" oil trumpet.
This man, old-school, cautious, good at drilling, has a heavy name, but never loses morality.
He and Zhang Fengyi play a real fight, but in the torrent of the times, the gains and losses of individuals and the fate of the business name cannot be compared with the future of their home country. Reconciliation is inevitable.
The whole drama can be regarded as a double male drama of two old drama bones in a sense.
The old drama bone, which is equal to Zhang Fengyi, is not easy to find, but Li Liqun is the number one person.
When he was young, Li Liqun was an acting school that founded the "Performance Workshop" and starred in classic masterpieces such as "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" and "The Story of Time".
He is also the first to enter the mainland to act in the old drama bones, first came to the mainland, he was like a fish, playing the "Great Wei King" in "The Great Qin Empire", playing Zhou Wanshun in "Wenzhou Family", and in "Fengyun" he was the crazy Emperor Shi tian.
At the age of nearly 70, he has no less skill on the screen, and the tension of the performance flashes between the pitches.
One of the two major acting schools, one good play has half. But it's not enough.
Third place, Ding Haifeng.
Played the main villain of the whole drama Xu Anbang.
Once famous in the 98 version of "Water Margin", in recent years, he has successively played a righteous character in "The Name of the People" and "Wolf Warrior 2", and played Chang Yuhuai, the director of the security department who saw through Yao Lisong at a glance in "The World of Man", and won the praise of the audience every time.
But this time, he played a hateful villain warlord with itchy teeth, and was finally killed on the spot by the Yang family's son at the wedding banquet. Oops, always looking forward to it.
Fourth place, Kou Zhenhai.
With the role of the feudal patriarch of "Love Deep rain" and "Golden Powder Family", he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in fact, he is a changeable acting school, this time his role is not much, but it is Zhang Fengyi's strong support in the play.
Fifth place, Niu Li.
Pan Qiaoyun in the 98th edition of "Water Margin" and "Nawen" in "Breaking into The Kanto" have also reached the age of playing someone else's mother, but Niu Li, who plays Liu Yunxiang's wife Jingyue Shitai, is still very beautiful.
Acting skills are also online, from Shi Tai, who sees through the red dust in the Buddhist world, to the Hongjiang businesswoman who has to step into the secular world, as soon as she appears, she is stable.
In addition to these powerful factions, there are two young actors who are also worth mentioning.
One is Zhang Hanyun, who plays Liu Tianjuan.
The sweet sister of that year finally recovered in resources after "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and a "Love is Delicious" beauty came out of the circle. This time, her role finally sacrificed for her homeland, and whether she can prove herself again in the period drama is worth looking forward to.
The second is Yang Dajiang, who is also in love with the Liu family sisters.
Actor Zhang Rui is the fifth brother Yongqi in "New Zhu Gege", in recent years, Zhang Ruinan has starred in a lot, there are not many roles in the circle, this time playing the ideological progress, strong and assertive, resolutely walked to the front line of the anti-Japanese Yang family big brother, is his opportunity to prove himself again.
It should be said that what this group of acting schools want to play is actually a history of Hong Shang's broken generation, although the role is fictional, but behind almost every role, there is a certain truth and three-dimensionality.
In that torrent of history, everyone was caught up in the tide and could not grasp the direction of their destiny.
When the tide fades, some insist on reaching the other shore, some can never arrive, with this story, to record those who stand in the times and the tide of the sea, is really worth looking back at the "generation of Hongshang".
The third "bottom oil": the legendary drama of the era, it is time to revitalize
With the passage of time, with the progress of the times, advanced industrial production and mechanization levels gradually replaced the traditional handicraft workshops, hong oil gradually stopped producing, and the output of tung oil was also declining.
It's like the legendary drama of the past few years.
Although the period drama is still the outlet in the market in the past two years, the explosive period legend drama is rare to buy.
Legend is a "big word", and indulging in legend is a taboo in period dramas.
How to put the legend on the ground? The answer lies in emotional resonance —
From two treasurers, two families, to a generation of Hong shang, a large number of people, and even a whole era of resonance.
Can it be filmed?
It's hard, but it's done, it's extra interesting and meaningful.
The director of this drama, Lu Qi, was an artist of classic Chinese dramas such as "Young Bao Qingtian", "Wu Zetian", "Kangxi Dynasty" and so on, and later independently directed "Mazu" starring Liu Tao, "Oriental Battlefield" starring Huang Haibing, etc., and the reputation and popularity are good. It can be seen that this is a master of the main drama and the big drama.
But to make "A Generation of Hong Shang" out of the circle, there must be at least three characteristics:
One is the magnificent epic sense, the second is the wonderful fighting drama, especially the young actors can not drag their feet, and the third is that the story is grounded and makes the legend deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to make the drama a heavy quality like refining hong oil.
Is it okay? Tell a little story.
Producer Meng Fanyao jokingly called Zhang Fengyi a "young man in his 60s", saying that there was a sinking pond scene in the play, that is, the oil fighting scene mentioned at the beginning, which required Zhang Fengyi to be "locked" in a cage and sink into the cold river water for nearly a minute, underwater photography, real sinking, real shooting, the director and actors advised Zhang Fengyi to use a stand-in, but Zhang Fengyi insisted on personally fighting during the filming process, once is not enough, it is many times jumping into the cold and bone-chilling Yuanjiang River.
Clumsy or not clumsy? In the eyes of the traffic stars who even use the literary drama to replace the body, it is too stupid. But the real old craft, it has to be so heavy.
But it is precisely because of such a group of people, the words "old drama bones", that they are worthy of the name. Looking back, it was the precipitation of countless people's years.
This precipitation is heavy.
I hope that this drama can also be as heavy as Zhang Fengyi's performance.
Period dramas have never been the footnotes that the miracles of the times should be, the key is whether they can be filmed, in the big times, the struggle and standing of smiling individuals is the most powerful thing.
Just like Zhang Fengyi's line in "A Generation of Hongshang Merchants": "I, the Hongjiang merchants, do craftsmanship, rely on conscience, and abide by faith." "Sit back and wait for this fine oil to come out."
