On April 26, on the official website of CCTV, the TV series "Mrs. Guo" entered the TV series broadcast list on the 27th of CCTV. This means that the TV series "Mrs. Zhao Guo" is officially scheduled for Yang 8, starting at 9:30 p.m. on the 27th, and two episodes premiered. Starring actors such as Ye Xuan and Ren Chong, this TV series belongs to a costume historical drama and tells the legendary story of Mrs. Xian of Lingnan.
"Mrs. Tan Guo" was originally called "The Legend of Mrs. Sin". Because the name used to be "legendary", we should regard "Mrs. Guoguo" as a costume legendary drama, not a costume historical drama. This needs to be clarified. Because of legendary dramas, there are the creation techniques of legendary dramas, costume historical dramas, and also the creation requirements of costume historical dramas.
In terms of historical drama, it is required to conform to historical truth, especially the details, and try not to joke. Legendary dramas, on the other hand, can follow the premise of the main characters and the truth of the story, and tell many details in line with the laws of film and television dramas. The characteristic of legendary dramas is that the main line is real, and the details may be exaggerated. This kind of exaggeration is more suitable for the intensive viewing needs of TV series.
Mrs. Sin's story is familiar to everyone in the Lingnan area. But for many northern audiences, this figure who does not appear in Chinese history textbooks may be relatively unfamiliar.
Lady Xian (November 24, 512 AD - January 18 of the lunar calendar 602 AD), also known as Mrs. Xian and Lady Guo, named Ying, a native of Gaoliang County (present-day Maoming and Yangjiang, Guangdong), was born in Shandu Village, Diancheng Town, Dianbai District, Maoming City, married in Gaoliang County (present-day Gaozhou, Guangdong), and was the leader of southern Lingnan during the Liang, Chen, and Sui dynasties. An outstanding statesman and military strategist of ancient China, he was enshrined as the "Virgin of Lingnan".
In her parents' house, she followed the people, was able to serve as a military teacher, subdued Zhu Yue throughout his life and three dynasties, conformed to the demands and aspirations of the people, and was committed to safeguarding national unity and ethnic unity, and she and her descendants successively made outstanding contributions to the relative stability of the Lingnan region for a hundred years and the social and economic development of southern Guangdong, and were a model of patriotism. Her heroic image has always been deeply engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people, and she was named "Lady Shilong County", "Lady of Song Kangjun", "Lady of Zhan Guo" by the Chen Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, and posthumously named "Lady Sincerity".
Regarding Mrs. Sin's deeds, in a word, it is because of her existence that the area around Lingnan in China has always been Chinese territory and has not been divided. Therefore, the main story content of the TV series "Mrs. Guoguo" is how Mrs. Xian cooperated with the Central Plains Dynasty to maintain the unity of the motherland in the historical period. Let's take a look at the plot synopsis of this TV series:
In the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xian Ying, a slang girl, led the clansmen and promoted sinicization, and her life deeds were colorful. Xian Ying, whose milk name is "Lily", is intelligent and studious, and is both literary and martial. When she was only 16 or 7 years old, she had already won the reputation of "the first talented woman in Lingnan", and later married Feng Bao, the Taishou of Gaozhou. At that time, war was raging and the people were in ruins, so Xian Ying befriended a group of loyal and righteous people, formed a "division of the king of Qin," fought hard for years, eliminated the chaotic minister Hou Jing, and assisted Chen Baxian in establishing the "Chen" dynasty.
Because of her meritorious service in protecting the territory and the people, she was loved by various ethnic minorities in Lingnan and was jointly honored as "Our Lady of Lingnan" and "Our Lady of China." Throughout his life, Xian Ying devoted himself to promoting the integration of nationalities and safeguarding the unity of the country; he went through the three dynasties of "Liang," "Chen," and "Sui," treated people with "benevolence" and served the masses with "virtue" throughout his life, and won the unanimous respect of the emperors of the three dynasties.
In 2019, Guangdong produced the Cantonese opera "Mrs. Tan Guo". This TV series version of "Mrs. Tan Guo" also has the shadow of learning Cantonese opera in terms of story content. In the TV series version, Ye Xuan plays this Mrs. Sin. In the official news content, it was introduced that in order to play the role of Mrs. Sin, Ye Xuan read a lot of papers about Mrs. Sin, and watched a large number of video materials of Mrs. Sin's previous roles, especially Cantonese opera video materials.
Ren Zhong plays Feng Bao in the play, who is Mrs. Sin's husband. Ren Zhong This actor is indeed steady, often playing some roles that set off the partner actors. This time, in "Mrs. Guoguo", it is the male protagonist who sets off the female protagonist again. Ye Xuan can indeed withstand this foil, this is an excellent middle-aged actress who combines appearance and acting skills.
Of course, it is still necessary to emphasize that this TV series is a legendary drama, not a serious historical drama, so in many bridges, more attention will be paid to the highlights of the TV series itself. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
