"The Wind Rises longxi" began broadcasting for three days, and the chess game has appeared. If the change of perspective of the "infernal affairs" or "espionage war" of the Three Kingdoms is an innovation in the historical theme, then what is even more moving is the loyalty of those who have been cleansed out of the cracks in history - that is the spiritual will of our nation for thousands of years.
Based on Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, the costume spy drama "Wind Rises Longxi" is being broadcast on CCTV-8 Golden Strong, and iQiyi is online at the same time.
"Stealing beams and changing pillars", "taking advantage of the fire to rob", "golden cicadas out of their shells", "hiding knives in laughter", "anti-guest-oriented", "borrowing corpses to return souls"... Thirty-six counts for the name, one episode and one count, lead the audience to dive into the era of three points of the world, summoning back the historical torrent of "rolling water in the east of the Yangtze River, and the waves exhausting the heroes". What is special is that in this story, it is not only the big people who have left a name in history.
Open up the space for drama in "Historical Possibilities"
In recent years, in the corridor of domestic dramas, espionage wars have been flourishing for a long time. However, the near-modern context was replaced by more than 1,000 years ago, and "The Wind Rises longxi" can be called a very rare faction.
At the beginning of the first episode, the street pavilion is lost, zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition is defeated, and then he tearfully chops the horse. Within the framework of the big history, the galloping imagination opens up the space for drama: the loss of the street kiosk stems from an intelligence leak, and the Shu Han "Si Wen Cao" intelligence officers Chen Gong and Xun Xue then walk from the cracks of history to the stage, and the human situation is about to reflect the essence of history. In order to find out the truth of the intelligence case, find out the undercover identity of Cao Wei's "Intermediate Military Division" infiltrating shu Han code-named "Candle Dragon", and then uncover the conspiracy of Cao Wei's "Qingping Plan", the two were willing to fall into a desperate situation and put themselves to death and be reborn.
Compared with the talented and even hanging life of the protagonists in some spy dramas, the intelligence of "Wind Rises longxi" is always evenly matched, and the road to truth can be described as a tortuous loop and thrilling: because of the vigilance of the enemy, Chen Gong has almost exposed his identity many times; Xun Xue has also repeatedly fallen into danger and died nine times. As plots such as Mi Chong's down-of-line, Liu Ying's appearance, and Chen Gong's "borrowing corpses to return the soul" unfold, more and more people enter the game, and these historical "nameless people" will roll over the undercurrent of history, becoming a deeper suspense than finding out the "candle dragon".
What is important is that their struggles and sacrifices in the chaotic world, and their inner support is nothing more than the word "loyalty". When suspected by "Si Wencao", Chen Gong never violated his original intention, and took the initiative to choose to go deep into the dangerous situation and find a truth for his belief in being more loyal to him; in the face of his friends being wronged and facing the struggle for power at the top, Xun Xue never obeyed coercion and power, but the justice and ideals in his heart.
There is a line in the play that appears more than once. What exactly is the "Guangfu Han Room" that the princes of the Shu Han Dynasty are thinking? Zhuge Liang replied that he hoped that the world would be peaceful and ordinary people could live a peaceful life. Chen Gong and Xun Xue followed Zhuge Liang, and to some extent followed his will. Therefore, in the play, Chen Gong's wind and wisdom, Xun Xue's morality and perseverance, and the love and righteousness of the two people who feel sorry for each other are the spiritual bonds on which our nation depends, and the spiritual purpose of our souls for thousands of years.
In the atmosphere of the era of recovery, close to the cultural homeland
Nowadays, high-quality creation has become the general trend of high-quality development of domestic dramas. In costume dramas, "Fu Hua Dao" has always been one of the important factors for the audience to evaluate the level of the series. In order to create a better visual experience, "The Wind Rises in Longxi" examines history and upholds ingenuity, allowing more audiences to perceive the beauty of traditional culture and the beauty of national style, renewing the new atmosphere of Chinese opera creation, and bringing a new direction of upgrading and dimensioning to the Chinese opera market.
In view of the fact that the people in the play are small people under the torrent of history, in the choice of clothing fabrics, the creative team mainly chooses cotton and linen textured costumes, and most of them are dominated by black, white, gray and other colors with low saturation. In terms of styling, the creative team designed a beard shape for male characters that conforms to their personality, which not only highly restores the trend of men's pursuit of "hair" in the Three Kingdoms period, but also highlights the shaping of character personality.
In terms of scenery, the Shu land is humid, the vegetation is luxuriant, the Wei land is dry, and the yellow sand is flying, creating a climatic difference between Shu Han and Cao Wei, which is very immersive. Because most of the interior scenes are accompanied by a lot of competition for interests and complex entangled feelings, the play mostly uses natural light sources to restore and embellish ancient scenes, thus playing a role in setting off the plot. In addition, the ingenuity of the play is also implemented in the portrayal and restoration of the details of life, and the scenes of boiling and drinking tea appear many times in the play, which shows the unique cultural atmosphere of the late Eastern Han Dynasty from another perspective.
The plot of the 24 episodes has just unfolded a third. At first glance, it seems that this is a hypothetical and complete story, a legend containing backbone and character between the lines, a visual art that exudes the charm of Chinese aesthetics in the Tao of Service, and it has a positive theme of "the big husband was born in a chaotic world, across the world, where righteousness lies, regardless of life and death" - "The Wind Rises longxi" can find the atmosphere of the era, infinitely close to the Chinese culture and my hometown.
