The first poster of the 40-episode historical drama "Wind and Harvest Zhang Juzheng" is too much to look forward to! Who plays Zhang Ju is just right

Recently, Tencent released a batch of 2023 drama list, this historical drama "The Wind Ends Zhang Juzheng", which immediately caught my eye!

Today's costume dramas are all idol dramas that are full of beauty and me, wearing the skin of costume dramas, and it is rare to see a serious historical drama. What's more, it is a historical drama that positively and comprehensively depicts Zhang Juzheng, a genius!

Zhang Juzheng, infant name Zhang Baigui, also known as Zhang Jiangling, was a native of Jingzhou, Huguang (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei Province) during the Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty politician, reformer, cabinet chief.

The filing plot of "The End of the Wind and Zhang Juzheng" is as follows:

Zhang Ju is a legendary figure who became famous in history during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty for his strict reforms.

Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant of the cabinet, under the high arch, and when Long Qing was seriously ill, the conflict between the two broke out and the battle for the first assistant began. Long Qing died, and the ten-year-old crown prince ascended the throne as the Wanli Emperor, and Zhang Juzheng officially became the first assistant, and then launched the Wanli reform.

Zhang Juzheng used the "examination method" to rectify the bureaucratic system, greatly enhanced the practical spirit of officials and the state's organizational strength, and used the policy of cleaning up the government to relieve the heavy pressure on the people's taxes. When everything was laid for the reform, his father died suddenly, but Zhang Juzheng decided not to abide by his father's filial piety according to the system and continue to stay in the position of chief assistant to promote reform, and his painstaking efforts were not understood.

Wanli gradually developed rebellion and resentment towards Zhang Juzheng, and when Zhang Juzheng passed away, Wanli launched a liquidation of the Zhang family, completely denying his contribution.

Justice is in the hearts of the people, Zhang Juzheng single-handedly eliminated the accumulated shortcomings of the country, and was praised by later generations as the "prime minister who saved the time".

"The End of the Wind and Zhang Juzheng" is a TV series jointly produced by Xinli TV Media and Tencent Video, and on June 19, the concept poster of the play was first released.

As soon as the official poster came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many historical drama fans. Everyone suggested who to choose to play Zhang Ju.

Some suggested Zhong Hanliang, some suggested Hu Ge, some suggested Guo Dongwen, and some suggested Xin Baiqing, Zhang Lei or Cao Lei.

Actor Guo Dongwen played Zhang Juzheng in "Daming Dynasty 1566", and it is completely okay to choose him to play.

A netizen's suggestion is very pertinent, he said, first, don't choose a traffic student to star, second, don't engage in female competition love line, third, Zhang Juzheng is very complicated, neither a great and decent person, nor the ultimate villain, to comprehensively shape the character, good and bad, good and evil are presented one by one, and the fourth is to serve the Tao to be a little more exquisite, in line with the historical shape of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng is adapted from writer Xiong Zhaozheng's four-volume historical novel Zhang Juzheng, which won the 6th Mao Dun Literature Award in 2005.

It is not the first time that Xiong Zhaozheng's novel "Zhang Juzheng" has been adapted into a TV series.

Directed by Su Zhou and starring Tang Guoqiang, Feng Yuanzheng, Mei Ting, etc., "Wanli Shoufu Zhang Juzheng" is also adapted from the novel.

The drama was broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, Beijing Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV on April 16, 2010.

However, after the broadcast of "Wanli Shoufu Zhang Juzheng", the audience received mixed reviews.

Jinghua Daily commented that Zhang Juzheng in the play is too perfect and inconsistent with history, and Zhang Juzheng in the play has completely lost his soul and flesh and blood, becoming a tall and complete symbol with almost no shortcomings.

However, the author of this new drama "Wind and Harvest Zhang Juzheng" is more optimistic and looking forward to.

It is said that the screenwriter crew of the play is very demanding of details, and has prepared four-page classic materials just for the literature.

There are two screenwriters of the play, one is Chang Jiang and the other is Li Jie. Chang Jiang was the screenwriter of dramas such as "Grand Army Division Sima Yi's Army and Division Alliance" and "Army Division Sima Yi's Tiger Roaring Dragon Chanting", and won the 31st Feitian Award for Outstanding Screenwriter.

It is hoped that the play will seriously adapt the script in line with the path of historical drama, tell the story of historical figures, and the elements of fiction and joke can have a little, but not more.

And I hope that the play will not only maintain the atmosphere of an orthodox historical drama, but also expand and innovate in its creative vision and expression techniques.

The author feels that if Zhang Juzheng wants to make a breakthrough in "The End of the Wind", only by expanding his vision, putting Zhang Juzheng in the context of the era of global history, and re-observing and writing Zhang Juzheng from a global perspective, can he truly explain this controversial historical figure clearly and thoroughly.

Because of the Ming Dynasty period where Zhang Juzheng lived, the Age of Exploration had arrived, the Great Divergence between East and West began, and since then, there have been no isolated islands on the earth.

The 16th century was a watershed in world history, with fierce confrontations and conflicts between booming capitalism and declining feudalism.

In order to solve these contradictions, in the hundred years of the 16th century, both China and the West carried out vigorous changes, the Reformation movement in Western Europe and the reform movement in China.

The era of Zhang Juzheng was also an era of change in Sino-Western relations. At this time, Western Europe has entered the Age of Exploration for more than 100 years, and in the face of the arrival of the West, Zhang Juzheng has explored foreign systems such as the Macao model and the Guangzhou trade system.

At this time, China is still in a relatively leading position in terms of culture and economy, even in the face of the rapidly rising West, will not have an inferiority or arrogant mentality, at that time China's national strength far exceeded Western European countries, Daming in foreign exchanges to adopt a tolerant, confident, inclusive attitude, can let Westerners in, but Daming did not go out on a large scale.

After the Western European countries set out from the edge of the world island (Eurasia) and occupied other areas outside the center of the world island and divided it, these maritime powers began to attack the center of the world island.

If the historical drama "Zhang Juzheng of the Wind and the Wind" can simultaneously tell about what happened synchronously in the world at that time, and explain the internal connections of these things, see what the West, the world and the future are like in the eyes of Daming, and what Daming, the world and the future are like in the eyes of Westerners, only in this way can it be possible to see why Daming after Zhang Juzheng has stagnated again.

Perhaps, if "The End of the Wind and Zhang Juzheng" can look at and depict Zhang Juzheng with such a global perspective, this drama can show the full picture of Zhang Juzheng's era and see clearly Zhang Juzheng's merits and disgraces in this life.

Of course, the above are just some of the author's personal suggestions and small thoughts, how to write the screenplay and how to shoot, as a lover of historical dramas, I can only wait and expect, hoping that this drama can achieve an excellent three-in-one script, actors and story.

Reader friends, who do you expect to play Zhang Juzheng?
