The ratings exceeded one for 5 consecutive days, and 20 powerful people joined, which is the most underrated domestic drama this year!

Finally, a long drought met Ganlin.

Once upon a time, period dramas were CCTV's trump card.

In 2021, a "Age of Awakening" reproduced Chinese history and lifted the national spirit.

In 2022, the opening drama "The World" will attract the whole people to follow the drama, showing the complexity and depth of human nature to the fullest.

Finally, in 2023, first "Crazy", then "Who is He", anti-black suspense dramas take the lead.

Until the end of March, we finally ushered in CCTV's ace period drama - "The Road of Life".

On the day the show was broadcast, the ratings easily broke 1, and it was 5 consecutive days, and the ratings rose steadily.

I know that at the beginning of the broadcast of "The Road of Life", the reputation was mixed, some people accused the actors of making a play with porcelain teeth, and some people discussed that the plot adaptation was large, which was far from the original.

Up to now, "The Road of Life" has been updated for 11 episodes, with more and more positive reviews, and the shortcomings that were once thought to be gradually covered by the advantages.

I don't even hesitate to assert that this is definitely the most underrated domestic drama of the year!

The gold medal team deeply restored the style of northern Shaanxi in the eighties

Director Yan Jiangang, who has been in the industry for more than 30 years, has won the Best Director Award for Feitian and Golden Eagle, and is especially good at directing historical dramas and period dramas.

His last work was the "Yuan Longping" unit of the highly acclaimed "Meritorious Service".

The screenwriter is not yet eclipsed, his masterpieces "Children Those Things" and "Children of the Qiao Family", and in 2021, he was nominated for Magnolia for Best Screenplay with "Mountains and Seas".

She is especially good at delicate brushstrokes to depict the most unpretentious texture of the era.

Styling director Chen Minzheng participated in the closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2022 Winter Olympics, and has masterpieces such as "Above the Cliff", "Manjiang Red" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Art director Liu Yongqi has served as an artist for TV series such as "Crossing the Guandong" and "Northern Wilderness", and has also won the Best Art Award for Feitian and Golden Eagle.

From the director, screenwriter to modeling and art, all of them are strong combinations, and such a gold medal team, the description of details, the presentation of the picture, is even more refined.

The filming location of "The Road of Life" was specially selected in Lu Yao's hometown of Qingjian County, Yulin, northern Shaanxi.

In order to present the most authentic northern Shaanxi style in the 80s, the director team spent a lot of money to build a Gaojia village in the ravine of Qingjian County, and even Madian Primary School was restored one by one according to the original novel.

Not only that, in order to shoot a good scene in the county, the director team even built a film and television city.

From the county high school, the education bureau, the radio station, the market, the street, to the second aunt's powder shop, all of them are real scene shooting, and these scenes are all built brick by brick.

The ratings exceeded one for 5 consecutive days, and 20 powerful people joined, which is the most underrated domestic drama this year!

Not only that, many of the interior furnishings are old items scooped up from local farmers.

The shape of the actors is completely copied from the era at that time, and the costumes are all worn.

Because of this, "The Road of Life" can deeply restore the style of northern Shaanxi in the 80s and let the audience enter the play at a glance.

Based on famous books, innovative adaptation, continue the story of "Life"

"The Road of Life" is partly based on Lu Yao's novel "Life".

The original novel is the volume of a novella, only a hundred thousand words, mainly telling the story of Gao Garin, who is bent on breaking free from the yellow earth, going through twists and turns, and finally returning to his hometown.

It is difficult to adapt such a volume into a 37-episode TV series, so the screenwriter made an adaptation in time, which not only retained the core content in the original work, but also added many new chapters.

In the original work, Gao Garin failed the college entrance examination, and in the TV series, he became Gao Shuangxing to replace his college place.

Such a rewriting strengthened the tragic color of Gogarin himself, and also laid the groundwork for the subsequent plot development.

There is also about the daily teaching life of Madian Primary School, which is not found in the original novel, but this part of the play has become a cadenza that is difficult to ignore.

It not only enriches the diversity of characters, but also truly reproduces the current situation of rural education at that time.

At that time, rural people had little money in their hands, and even if the dolls went to school to pay tuition, they could only offset it with the fruits and vegetables grown at home.

Private school teachers also have no salary, so they have to send a pig in a brigade, which is raised in the school, and sold at the end of the year for money, which becomes the teacher's salary.

Every rural family is mainly engaged in agriculture, supplemented by learning.

Even Teacher Zhou, who has been teaching for more than 30 years, sees sewing needles planting lotus roots in the field, thinking of selling them at a good price to subsidize the family.

Not to mention the children who go to school, who doesn't finish the work at home first, and then rush to school?

Despite such a hard life, the children's enthusiasm for learning and the tireless spirit of the teachers are also touching.

There was a child named Liang Manho in the class who did not come to school, and Gao Garin only knew when he asked, because Liang Manho's father had tuberculosis and could not do heavy work, Liang Manho became the main labor force in the family, these days is busy farming, he is busy working in the field, naturally there is no time for school.

Teacher Zhou and Gao Jalin together, planning to take advantage of the weekend to hoard Liang Man's make-up lessons, Teacher Hua is also enthusiastic and gladly joins.

The three arrived at Liang Manho's house, Teacher Zhou and Teacher Hua helped with the work, and Gao Garin was responsible for making up lessons for Liang Manho.

Gogarin taught him to use the phrase "I love ... I like it...... I want to..." When Liang Manquan said, "I love to work, I like corn, I have to pay tuition", I couldn't help but wet my eyes.

A rural doll rooted in the yellow earth, how ardently longing to change his fate through knowledge.

Even later, Liang Manquan was accidentally injured in his leg because he was chasing a bus in the county town, and Gao Garin was punished by the Education Bureau because of poor care, and lost the quota of regular teachers who were about to arrive.

Even so, I can't bear to blame this child, I just feel deep sadness.

It was Liang Manho's first visit to the county seat, and it was also the first time he smelled gasoline, and he thought it smelled good, so he ran after the car. The smell of gasoline, which is commonplace and even avoided by urban children, has become the first time rural children smell the treasure.

How is this not the sadness caused by the gap between urban and rural education?

To this day, this gap still exists.

There are also Teacher Hua, Teacher Zhou, and Chen Fangming, a college student who came from Shanghai to interview, all of whom were characters that were not in the original work, but they are flesh-and-blood characters in the play.

I have to say that such an adaptation not only enriches the life path of the protagonist Gogarin, but also shows the multiple dilemmas of the present, which is definitely an undoubted masterpiece.

In fact, Mr. Lu Yao left 4 words in the last chapter of "Life" - not the end.

Perhaps, in Mr. Lu Yao's heart, Gao Garin's return to Gaojia Village is not his end, and the real ending needs to be written by people under the great changes of the times.

In the TV series "The Road of Life", Gao Garin finally bid farewell to Gaojia Village and established himself in Shanghai with a pen, and his love of literature eventually changed his life.

Such an ending may be what Mr. Lu Yao wants to see.

The cast is strong, 20 powerful people have joined, and there are many good shows

"The Road of Life" is a sincere work dedicated by the gold medal team, and it is also a classic work where the acting school gathers.

Chen Xiao, who plays Gao Garin, is an absolute acting school in 85 lives, and he also masters the state of Gao Garin at different stages.

Whether it is the concentration when preparing for the college entrance examination, the loss of soul after defeat, the spirit when I went to Madian Primary School to become a teacher, or even the anxiety of not seeing the road ahead, it is all presented just right.

The heroine Li Qin also successfully reproduced the gold-like Liu Qiaozhen.

She is simple and simple, hardworking and kind, always cheerful and neat in her work, and she is responsive to his needs for Gogarin, and her eyes are full of him.

Zhang Jiani plays the female number two Huang Yaping, originally a girl living in a big city, transferred here because of her father's work.

Huang Yaping is different, she is confident and elegant, and she still has some pride in her bones, which stems from the city where she grew up, and also because she has seen the vastness of heaven and earth earlier than her peers.

The male No. 2 Gao Shuangxing, played by Wang Tianchen, was a fool at first, but since he seized Gao Garin's college spot, he made the audience hate their teeth.

But in the last two episodes, watching him work on the construction site, he was depressed because he couldn't go home, which also made the audience feel a little sympathetic.

In any case, the role of Gao Shuangxing stands.

In contrast, Tang Zeng is really too suitable for playing a horse bolt, dark skin, sincere eyes, and a full northern man.

The embarrassment is the tenderness of the iron man, and his eyes are full of tenderness and honey when he sees Qiaozhen.

How hated the role of Gao Minglou is, it shows how good Lin Yongjian's acting skills are.

He vividly showed Gao Minglou's hypocrisy, vanity, and calculating.

Gao Minglou represents a type of people in the trend of the times, enjoying the popularity of people around them, seemingly generous and friendly, but in fact always puts their own interests first, even at the expense of others.

In contrast, the Gao family's parents are particularly honest.

Teacher Li Baoan has an honest face, playing Song Yunhui's father in "Big River" and Gao Garin's father in "The Road of Life", both are farmers who do their duty, and they can't do a bad thing in their lives.

The high mother played by Zhao Qianzi also shows her loving heart. The two teachers worked together sincerely, acting like their true colors.

As for Liu Wei, he is really suitable for such a soft-mouthed role.

In "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", he played Secretary Wan who is not angry and self-threatening, and in "The Road of Life", he is always calculating, only wants to earn money, and chooses to find a mother-in-law for his daughter.

The role of Liu Liben makes many people think of their father, seemingly arrogant and unreasonable, paternalistic, but he still feels sorry for the child in his bones, but his insight is limited, so that he can only express love in the most clumsy way.

De Shunye, played by teacher Li Guangfu, is definitely the baby of Gaojia Village, the most transparent and round.

His love for the dolls is from the heart, and he sincerely hopes that Gao Garin and Qiao Zhen are getting better and better.

When Gogarin encountered setbacks, he always patiently provided advice to Gogarin to help him successfully get out of trouble.

Teacher Zhou Xinchu, played by Dong Zhao, also earned enough tears from the audience.

He has been teaching diligently for more than 30 years, staying up until he is in his sixties, and his only hope is to become a regular teacher.

When he said to Gogarin, "I have no way back", how many people felt sorry for this old rural teacher in their hearts.

Teacher Hua Xiaojuan, played by Lian Lian, is simple and kind, and her weak body carries the mountain of life, which is a true portrayal of how many rural women.

There are also Teacher Jing played by Zhao Zheng, Chen Xiuli played by Guo Xiaoting, and Chen Fangming played by Zhang Tianyang, all of which left a deep impression on the audience.

There is also national first-class actor He Saifei, golden rooster female with Huang Meiying, golden supporting roles Zhou Yemang, Yue Hong, and the familiar Cai Genhua baby - Tu Ling... They all participated in the play.

After reading the cast list, all the powerful actors are both mature and stable old drama bones and increasingly mature young actors.

More than 20 powerful actors joined, bringing good dramas to the audience.

"The Road of Life" shows the life choices of Gao Garin and Liu Qiaozhen's generation in the 80s, and it is also of indescribable significance to us today.

No matter when and where, the proposition of life is always ever-changing, the dilemma of survival and dreams, is it to choose to give up, stop here, or swim against the current and set sail?

Everyone has their own answer.

Life can't always be easy, but in the mud, don't get lost in frustration.

As Lu Yao said: "Fate is always undesirable, but often in countless pains, in the midst of numerous contradictions and hardships, people mature."

In life, there is always a day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and the willows are bright.
