China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Shen Jiequn) A few days ago, the major historical theme TV series "The Long River under the Heavens" was officially filmed. "People from all the dynasties have stepped forward, struggled all their lives, worked hard and complained, and guarded this place from generation to generation, until today." Zhang Ting, director and screenwriter of "The Long River under the Heavens", said that he hopes to reproduce this magnificent Yellow River governance epic by telling a story of selfless dedication and protection of the homeland, so that the audience can feel the chinese nation's unremitting character and tenacity.
"The Long River under Heaven" starred Luo Jin and Yin Fang, specially invited by Huang Zhizhong, Liang Guanhua, Su Ke, Lu Siyu, Gong Lei, Li Xinzhe, Zhao Qi, Wang Hongtao, Guo Zhiting, Liu Tianyao, taking the Yellow River governance project of the Kangxi Dynasty as a clue, telling the story of Chen Huang and Jin Fu who were able to cure the flooding of the Yellow River.
"The Long River under Heaven" takes the Kangxi period as the time background, but it does not write books and biographies for the emperors and generals and talents, does not focus on court power and conspiracy, harem struggles, but tells the spirit of Chinese craftsmen who are the world for the public, presenting the materialist historical view of "the people are the creators of history".
At the symposium, Zhang Ting, chief director and screenwriter, shared his creative insights. The script of "The Long River under the Heavens" has undergone many revisions since it was completed ten years ago. Every time he polished, Zhang Ting would be shocked by the fate of Jin Fu and Chen Huang. "Their story is 'burning' me, but the real protagonist of this play is the fate of the country, not any particular character. Today, I think the fate of the country has become the most concerned thing for everyone. ”
Yang Zheng, deputy director of the Television Drama Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, stressed the important position of "people's nature" in historical dramas at the meeting. "In this play, the emperor is not highlighted separately, but the monarch and the people are included." He said that China's history of river management is also a history of the Chinese nation's unremitting struggle for self-improvement, and "The Long River Under Heaven" is based on historical facts, pays attention to the people, and conveys the historical spirit of the Chinese nation.
Zhang Weibin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Radio and Television Bureau, said that it is necessary to make masterpieces on major historical themes. "To govern water is to govern the country, and I look forward to this historical drama with the theme of water control to make a historical significance, shoot the value of the times, and reflect China's development concept of attaching importance to the construction of ecological civilization." Zhang Weibin promised that he would use Hengdian's complete film and television industry chain and supply chain to provide high-quality service and support for the shooting of "The Long River under the Heavens" and help the crew complete attractive masterpieces.
The script of "The Long River under the Heavens" was written for ten years. According to Zhang Ting, in order to ensure the accuracy of the information, the main creative team consulted and studied a large number of historical materials related to water conservancy, and in order to verify the construction methods at that time, they constantly consulted water conservancy experts and historians to try to restore the script as much as possible to restore the era of prosperity and undercurrents of national fortune.
"The Long River under the Heavens" is co-produced by Haoku Film, Mango Super Media, Mango TV, and Zhejiang Wen Pictures.
