As a comprehensive art, TELEVISION (serial) drama has a unique advantage in various art forms. Watching TV dramas has become an important part of most of our spiritual lives. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the TV drama industry has continued to grow and develop, from the 1980s and 1990s, which were dominated by foreign, Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas, to the current domestic TV dramas have become the mainstream of the screen with a majestic trend. After years of washing, those excellent TV series have become or are becoming classics. Below, let's take stock of the ten most representative domestic TV series.
1. The TV series "Longing".
At the end of 1990, CCTV premiered, and the ratings of the 50-episode TV series exploded, and even the spectacle of thousands of empty alleys appeared. The play received unanimous praise from both the authorities and the general audience. And become a model of domestic low-cost indoor drama. Because of this TV series, the name "Liu Huifang" has become synonymous with the people's good wife and mother.
Before continuing with the introduction, let me insert two sentences. TV dramas adapted from literary classics should become classics, and the so-called self-contained traffic, especially the "four classical masterpieces" of China on the screen, are naturally indispensable, and even the greatest contribution. The TV series adapted from these classical masterpieces have indeed reached the classic level, and the TV series embodied in the literary classic masterpieces have been more widely inherited and further carried forward in contemporary society. It is natural to be selected as the most influential TV drama works (the "four major tomes" below are all selected).
2. TV series "Journey to the West".
The earliest is the 86th edition of "Journey to the West", which tells the stories and interrogations of the Tang monks and disciples who have gone through 9981 difficulties on the way to the scriptures, and satisfies the fairy dreams of countless children and adults. The group of mythological figures such as Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Pig Eight Precepts, and Sand Monk have once again entered the imaginary world with a new attitude.
3. TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber".
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be abstracted into two words: sublimation and luxury. The first is to sublimate the ideological nature, on the basis of faithfulness to the original work to absorb the new "red science" results, the other art forms that have previously taken this work are based on love as the main line, the play breaks through this limitation, giving this classic masterpiece a new authoritative interpretation and a broader sociological significance. The second is to tear up luxury. From extreme luxury to the destruction of the family, from the rise and fall of a feudal family to the decay and decline of feudal society, it can trigger the audience's cold thinking, "destroying the valuable things of life to show people", this is the power of tragedy.
4. Tv series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The 94th edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" sorts out the complicated historical context in an orderly manner, making the story of the Three Kingdoms and the characters of the Three Kingdoms clearer and clearer on the screen. The volume of 84 episodes can show the audience's artistic ability to track to the end.
5. TV series "Water Margin".
"Water Margin", which premiered on CCTV in early 1998, was excellent just by virtue of the vivid and vivid character images created. The broadcast of a play and a drama redefined the image of a good man in Liangshan; The fate of a cottage and a group of haojie has rewritten people's perception of "tao" and "righteousness". The artistic achievements of this TV series are difficult to surpass by other literary and artistic works of similar themes.
6. TV series "The Gate of the Mansion".
Entering the new century (2001), the screen ushered in joy: the TV series "The Gate of the Mansion" turned out. The history of the fate of a medical family runs through the process of China's modern and contemporary history, and through the actors' pure acting skills and fascinating storyline, the penetration and appeal of the play have reached an unprecedented height, worthy of the reputation of the contemporary "Dream of the Red Chamber".
7. TV series "Bright Sword".
Li Youbin's version of "Bright Sword" (2005) is a rare military-themed TV series, which truly reproduces the "those people" and "those things" in the revolutionary war years, convincingly integrates "sense of substitution" and "authenticity", and vividly interprets and highlights the spirit of revolutionary heroism. Represented by Li Yunlong, the kind, touching, flesh-and-blood portrait of our army's commanders and fighters is not only eye-catching, but also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With its ratings, replay rate, and recognition, the drama has come out on top in many film and television works with war and military themes.
8. Tv series "Ordinary World".
This TV series, which premiered in 2015, sees the truth in the ordinary and shows the extraordinary in the ordinary. In a traditional way, the inspirational story of two brothers in the underclass is interpreted. The valuable thing about this drama is that it truly reproduces the social life of that era that people can touch with middle-aged and older people. Because it is not far away, I feel empathy.
9. Tv series "White Deer Plain".
In 2015, a disgusting work that can be used as a pillow after death was finally carefully polished into an epic drama. As for how much the "absurd" or "allegorical" components of the original work are revealed, the original "taste" is geometric, and there is no need to explore. The adapted TV series is more in line with the current aesthetic and public opinion orientation, and spreads the love and hatred on the "original" into the magnificent waves of the times, and this drama is undoubtedly successful.
10. The TV series "The Age of Awakening".
The time comes to 2021. It can be said that people are vague about the history of the New Culture Movement. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment of that era. Of course, TV dramas that focus on this history are also rare. The advent of this TV series has awakened people's memories of that era. As a large tribute film to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the party, it has the significance of tracing back to the roots and filling in the gaps. Being able to show that history in a panoramic way, and being able to objectively represent the historical contribution of the characters in the play, this TV series has done it, and it has been done just right.
The development of China's TV drama industry has become quite mature today, not only the output is the first in the world, but also the quality is also leading in the world. According to statistics, the highest production of TV dramas exceeded 10,000 episodes every year, and excellent TV dramas emerged in an endless stream. It is really difficult to select ten TV series from many TV series, and it is not too much to describe it as hanging up a leak. For example, "The World of Man" is fully eligible for selection. It has only just been broadcast, and it still needs historical precipitation. Yuxia simply makes choices in terms of ratings, influence, representation, and depth and breadth of history. Of course, every organization and individual evaluation is different, and the so-called opinion is for the sake of one statement. Discussion is welcome.
