In 2023, Yang's mother is really hanging.
From the beginning of the year to the present, many word-of-mouth dramas have been born, most of which are also from the hands of the central mother.
First of all, the double enjoyment of "Three-Body Problem" and "Crazy" hit, opening the door to the sci-fi theme of Chinese dramas in one fell swoop, and at the same time setting off a wave of national drama chasing frenzy.
If you want to come together, there is no shortage of good goods.
Immediately after the launch of "Wishful Thinking", a dialogue with "Empty Mirror" 20 years ago, plus "Longing" CP.
The collision of feelings and reality instantly captured the hearts of audiences of all ages.
Then "Who Is He" appeared, Zhang Yi returned to the audience's field of vision again, a strong suspense wind hit, and as soon as it was broadcast, it directly topped the major lists.
The ratings and popularity soared, and the reputation was even more explosive.
Although the plot collapsed in the end, it is undeniable that its results are still very resistant.
In addition, there are popular period dramas such as "Our Day", "Nine Bends of Love" and "The Road of Life".
In order to attract the audience's attention, the biggest feature of this type of work is "dog blood".
Whether it is the change of snowflakes, the scumbag "silly Mao lingering between the three women, or the twilight of the Qin dynasty of Gogarin.
All of them attracted a wave of criticism from the audience, but without exception, the ratings were also crazy, especially the late ratings of "The Road to Life" broke 3 all the way.
The overall performance can even be compared with the anti-black drama "Crazy".
Science fiction, anti-corruption, life and suspense, in today's TV drama market Central Mama has achieved "blossoming everywhere".
However, it is not difficult to find that the highest proportion is period drama, this kind of key theme that requires both quality and acting skills, without the "escort" of the central mother, it is difficult for the audience to pay.
This time, another new era drama is coming.
"Above the Snow Line" will be logged on CCTV on the 5th at 8 p.m.
After getting used to loving those "big fish and meat", I finally came to a period drama to wash the audience's eyes.
Under the seemingly ordinary lineup and theme, but there is a great attraction, this period drama is about to explode again?
Let's take a peek into the leopard and explore the mysteries of Above the Snow Line first.
First, the plateau real scene shooting and production team are expected to become the next "Mountain and Sea Love"
As soon as I heard the period drama, what the audience was most concerned about was-
Screenplay.
Not to mention how many big coffees joined, for period dramas, if the script is not good, no matter how good the acting skills have to be dragged down.
Especially the character, if there is a little suspension, it will be sprayed directly into the sky.
The theme of aiding Tibet does not need to worry about this.
First, the intention of aiding Tibet is profound but there are not many works, and the fundamental purpose is not to gain popularity and eyeballs, and there is no messy bloody emotional line.
Second, there is no need for a big production and too strong a lineup, as long as the hardships of poverty alleviation are filmed, it can be loved by the audience.
What's more, being hit by CCTV, the quality is absolutely passable.
1. Director
Judging from the production team of "Above the Snow Line", it is indeed more guaranteed.
The 63-year-old director Liu Jianhua graduated from the theater and joined the team, served as a soldier and worked as a criminal policeman, and he absolutely has a handle on this revolutionary history or period drama.
He is a "resident guest" of CCTV and has won many awards such as Feitian and the National Five One Project.
He once created "Female Prisoner" with a high score of 8.1 on Douban, including "Codename Mountain Leopard" starring Xing Jiadong.
The favorite of CCTV audiences and senior audiences is also the seemingly ordinary but amazing "rating password".
But then again, being able to shoot a good era or revolutionary theme does not mean that it is suitable for poverty alleviation dramas.
Let's take a look at the works directed by Liu Jianhua, "Manas Huyang", "Shatar", "Children Next Door" and "Brothers Aiding Tibet" and so on.
Director Liu also won the first prize of the National Ethnic Minority TV Series with his poverty alleviation works.
Perhaps only the Mongolian man can master the original Tibetan flavor to the fullest.
2. Plot and production
From the perspective of supporting Tibet, I have to sigh at the boldness of director Liu Jianhua.
Not only is it unpleasant, it is not the trend of the moment, but it is also extremely difficult to shoot.
In order to restore Tibetan culture, the whole crew went directly to the snowy plateau for real shooting.
Everyone has to overcome altitude sickness while still working at their best.
The filming period was in the rainy season, and the staff had to carry the machine against the bitter cold, or wait for the rain to stop, and if it couldn't stop, it would be directly changed to a rain scene.
And the actors have to wear the designated costumes, and if they are wet by the rain, they have to stand up and enter the play.
Local residents saw that the crew had to overcome the difficult weather environment, and often made yak milk and butter tea at home to send over, actor Gong Zheng bluntly said, "Too enthusiastic, sometimes I can't even tell if I am in the play or outside the play."
In the rare Tibet aid film and television dramas, most of them are also to show the dedication of supporting cadres.
It evokes empathy by portraying the difficulties in the early days and the difficulties of mobilization work.
For example, Qiao Mai in "Mountains and Seas" and "County Party Committee Compound".
"Above the Snow Line" focuses on college students.
At the end of the last century, the construction of Tibet became a major problem in the country's development at that time, and the outstanding college student Ouyang Nan responded to the call to go to Tibet without hesitation.
But it was not enough to have a passion for blood, and when he arrived in Tibet as a young man, he found that he had entered a thorn.
On one side are the resources waiting to be developed, the economy to be developed, and on the other side there are people who have suffered a lot of hardships in life.
How to plan, how to start, and how to solve the misunderstanding with the people when the language is not comprehensible and the concept is very different.
Fortunately, Ouyang Nan did not fight alone.
Ma Ruyun, a cadre who aided Tibet, was extremely forward-looking, and he deeply understood the pain that college students did not expect when they first entered Tibet, as well as the estrangement between him and his Tibetan brothers.
Although he is only a deputy county governor, he has driven the entire tourism industry and the economy has skyrocketed.
The injection of fresh blood from Ouyang Nan and others has added the concept of environmental protection to local tourism development.
Twenty years of hard work, from an unknown village to an international tourist town.
Behind it is a group of people who have dedicated their youth and blood to devoting their entire lives to this once poor and white remote area.
There was shock at the aid of the Tibetan compatriots who dared to sacrifice, and there were also touches by the Tibetan people's enthusiasm and simplicity and unceasing self-improvement.
Perhaps this is the real meaning of poverty alleviation dramas.
In fact, on the surface, "Above the Snow Line" has no highlights.
But in the current heyday of urban dramas, this drama is indeed a clear stream.
And as far as the consistent style of Yang Ma is concerned, "dog blood" is also the point that can best grasp the audience, such as "Dragon City", "Our Day" and so on.
But "Above the Snow Line" gave up the most easily brilliant style and showed the little-known Tibet aid scene, which is precious.
Second, seven powerful people have joined, and the period drama will have a new ceiling
After watching "Mountain and Sea Love", I thought that period dramas did not have a lot of big coffee to support them, and it was difficult to stand out no matter what the script was.
However, Yang Mama's "Our Day" and "Nine Bends of Love" directly broke through this limited cognition of me.
Give up traffic and only use the power, and the same is true for "Above the Snow Line".
The first one, the male protagonist Gong Zheng was born as a CCTV host, and then left CCTV to enter the Chinese opera performance profession to improve his acting skills, and then entered the entertainment industry.
His facial features and style are indeed the best candidates for period dramas, with strength from a professional background, and his appearance and acting skills are both online, and he has indeed become the darling of the era theme for so many years.
But the drama road is exceptionally open, and any theme can be perfectly controlled.
For example, Zeng Shen in "Confucius Spring and Autumn", Tianyou in "Once Upon a Time in Qingdao", Tang Rui in "The Legend of Miyue", and Qin Yuning in "Emergency Department Doctor".
There are also Kingstar in "Rivals" and Huang Zirong in "Canal Merry" and so on.
Maybe the name is unfamiliar, but look back at those word-of-mouth dramas, many of them have Gong Zheng's figure.
The second place, Liu Xiangjing, who graduated from military art, has 27 years of acting experience.
He is the eldest son Zhu Chuanwen in the phenomenal blockbuster period drama "Crossing the Guandong", the eldest brother Wang Defa in "Once Upon a Time in Qingdao", and Director Li in "Surgery".
In "Above the Snow Line", like Liu Xiangjing, who is not popular, there are He Zhengjun and Shen Danping, which are the third and fourth powerful people in the play.
I believe everyone is familiar with He Zhengjun in "Bright Sword".
Political Commissar Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, a pair of happy wrongdoers, once made the audience laugh so hard that their mouths closed.
He Zhengjun is the only actor in a group of old men who have book anger, and he does have both the fortitude of a soldier and the temperament of a cultured person in the play.
And Shen Danping is the "royal supporting role" of many popular works, Aunt Cui in "Crazy", Yu's mother in "Jiang Zhao Dawn", and Fan Jinyou's mother in "Little Women Under the Gate of Zhengyang" and so on.
The acting skills of 60-year-old He Zhengjun and Shen Danping have long been recognized by the audience, and it is not a problem to join "Above the Snow Line".
The fifth, national first-class actor Lu Jianmin played Wu Gang in "Above the Snow Line", most likely an old cadre who supported Tibet in the early years.
Maybe it's not familiar to young audiences, but it should be very familiar to senior audiences.
He has been in the entertainment industry for 35 years, and the general Wei Qing in "The Great Emperor of Hanwu" and Pan Weiyan, the big treasurer in "Qiao's Courtyard", have left an extremely deep impression on the audience.
Lu Jianmin can not only control the role of a martial general, but also perform the delicacy of a literati.
Especially Duan Haiping, the underground party codenamed "Sailor" in "Before Dawn", changed his mood freely without being covered by the starring actor at all.
Jiang Fengmian in "Chen Qingling" and Chu Xiaosheng in "Weird Tales of the Tang Dynasty" are all played by him, and the proper old drama bones did not run.
In addition to these five powerful people, there is also the well-known Yang Tongshu, and Qu Ni Tsering, who has appeared in film and television dramas such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Daming Fenghua", "The Legend of the Demon Cat", "The Climber" and "Long Moon Ember Ming", joined.
It is worth mentioning that Quni Tsering may not be a top class, but he is a famous actor in Tibet.
As far as the subject matter is concerned, to lose the image baggage to overcome the extremely difficult shooting environment, and it is not a big production, the average popular star may not accept it.
It is precisely for this reason that there are even fewer works involving aid to Tibet than those involving aid to Xinjiang or other poverty alleviation dramas.
As part of the motherland, Tibet's 60-year history has undergone tremendous changes, and it is inseparable from the joint efforts of the local residents and supporting the people.
I hope that "Above the Snow Line" can truly show the difficulties of Tibet's development in front of the audience.
Tonight, we meet CCTV in a set of prime time, walk above this snow line, and witness the great changes in Tibet.
