China Youth Daily client news (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Wu Xiaodong) "Taoyuan Three Knots of Righteousness", "Three Gu Maolu", "Zhuge Liang tears and cut off horses"... These allusions related to the Three Kingdoms can always remind people of the various heroes who emerged in this period, and open up the imagination of this special history. Produced by CCTV, Xinli TV, iQiyi, Forest Pictures, Free Cool Whale and Huace Pictures, and based on Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, the costume spy drama "Wind Rises longxi" was recently launched on CCTV-8 golden file and launched simultaneously on iQiyi, telling a different story of the Three Kingdoms in a different three-country background.
In the hearts of Chinese audiences, the story of the Three Kingdoms has formed an irreplaceable culture of the Three Kingdoms through endless interpretation and expression. Since the 1980s, based on the history of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the television industry has set off a trend of adapting the story of the Three Kingdoms. However, the evolutionary attributes of the history of the Three Kingdoms itself bring imagination space at the same time, and the combination of virtual and real creative methods also put forward higher requirements for script creation, coupled with the fact that such works often require the creation of a large number of war scenes, and the "low cost performance" leads to few challengers later.
The hero Haojie's chasing deer and the clever tricks and tricks of wise men and famous ministers have jointly written a big era that has surged and made countless readers hate and cannot devote themselves to it. In this era when the world is divided into three parts, the flames are everywhere, and the heroes are born, "The Wind Rises in Longxi" opens the story of the Three Kingdoms with a new spy war perspective: focusing on two "little people" who are not focused on by the chaotic world, Chen Gong and Xun Xue, by telling the story of their struggle and sacrifice in the turbulent world puzzle, interpreting the ideal and belief that "the big husband was born in the chaotic world, across the sea, where righteousness is, regardless of life and death", and composing a heroic legend outside history.
"Different from the previous story of the heroes and heroes of the Three Kingdoms, this is a story about the struggle and sacrifice of several ordinary people in the intelligence agencies during the Three Kingdoms period in the chaotic world. They made different choices, but they all moved me very much. Director Lu Yang said that in the past, the film and television works of the Three Kingdoms theme were more expressed above the temple, and this time "The Wind Rises longxi" pointed the camera at the city well, "although it is a story in the background of the Three Kingdoms, it is very special."
In order to create a better visual experience, "Wind Rises in Longxi" examines history and upholds ingenuity, so that more audiences can perceive the beauty of traditional culture and the beauty of national style. Lu Yang said that because the characters in the play are not from the court or the nobility, but just ordinary people engaged in espionage work, in the choice of clothing fabrics, the creative team mainly chooses cotton and linen texture clothing, and most of them are based on black, white, gray and other colors with low saturation. In addition, the creative team designed a beard shape for male characters that conformed to their personality, which highly restored the trend of men pursuing "hair beauty" in the Three Kingdoms period, and at the same time, it could highlight the character's personality.
Because the story of "Wind Rises in Longxi" mainly takes place in Shu Han and Cao Wei, the main creative team created a relatively humid and lush landscape of Shu land according to the different climates of wet and dry Shu and Wei in terms of environment, which is in stark contrast with the Yellow Sand Flying in Wei. 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 that appear many times in the play show the unique cultural atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty from another perspective.
