Which subject matter is the most worrying and difficult to give up?
It must be a historical drama.
The creation of historical dramas usually closely revolves around historical events and recreates that period of history from a new perspective.
This genre has also given birth to countless classics.
From "The Long March" to the current "Awakening Age" and "The Great Battle", they have created a ratings myth, and the word of mouth is a must, leaving a strong mark for the national drama.
In the second half of this year, the momentum of historical themes became more violent, and "The Flame of the Avenue" broadcast in September was cut from the perspective of economic construction for the first time, and the image of the great man became more vivid and vivid.
The popular "Ask the Boundless" focuses on the period from 1921 to 1927, telling the story of the enthusiastic youth led by the young Mao Zedong and exploring the correct path of the Chinese revolution, filling the gap in the drama of this period.
This is not over, and now there is a new drama finalized.
The major revolutionary-themed TV series "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is scheduled for December 18, on Zhejiang Satellite TV, Taochang will be broadcast exclusively on the whole network, and the audience who likes to watch historical dramas will have new dramas to watch.
Next, let's talk about what are the highlights of this drama.
Focusing on the growth history of great people, two characteristics are eye-catching
"Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" was produced to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Chairman Mao's birth, and what is to be told is naturally the story of Chairman Mao, but the background setting of this drama is not common in previous works.
The play tells the story of Mao Zedong's mental journey from graduating from Hunan No. 1 Normal in 1918 to joining the party in 1921.
It can be seen from the synopsis and trailers that the series has two characteristics, one is "big", and the other is "small".
Let's talk about "big" first, what "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" wants to shoot is definitely - big history.
During this period, earth-shaking changes took place in China, the New Culture Movement set off a trend of Western learning from the East, the dawn of Marxism shone into China for the first time, and the May Fourth Movement held high the banner of freedom and democracy.
However, the smoke of warlord warfare has also increased the suffering of the people.
The forces of all sides are surging, the situation is strange and foggy, the fate of the country and the nation is at stake, and life and death are only in an instant.
At this time, Mao Zedong stepped forward at a time of national crisis, persevered to find a way to save the country and the people, and gradually grew from a young student to a staunch Marxist.
Speaking of "small", the play talks about the characters from a unique perspective - using small things to contrast the characters.
In order to save the country and survive, the young Mao Zedong went north to seek the truth, he proposed that young students go to France to work and study, led the Hunan expulsion movement, founded the "Xiangjiang Review" to carry out the student movement and labor movement, and formed the Hunan Communist Group.
When the nation was in peril, Mao Zedong organized and carried out large and small events to save the people from suffering, and the young Mao Zedong was always growing.
In the past three years, Mao Zedong has changed from a hot-blooded young man who believes in anarchism to a staunch Marxist.
That era full of complexity and complexity was like a stage, and the characters of the year took turns to appear and fight for the country and the people all their lives.
And there is only one core story of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves": the extraordinary revolutionary process of the great man.
History itself is attractive enough, and compared to other dramas, "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has won at the starting line.
The powerful team is built, and the powerful actors help them
Revolutionary historical dramas can't be sloppy in the slightest, and in addition to the attractive theme, the lineup of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is even more extraordinary.
The biggest confidence in this play is Ma Jihong, a national first-class screenwriter.
She has very rich experience in the theme of historical revolution, "Forward, Forward!" and "Marshal Peng Dehuai" and other works are all from Ma Jihong's pen, and she also won two awards for Feitian and Golden Eagle with "Diplomacy".
Although director Liu Biao is a photographer, he has also directed works with good reputation such as "Taierzhuang" and "Jinshui Bridge".
The cooperation between these two people is in one word: stability.
The rest, it's up to the actors.
The cast in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is not luxurious, but all of them are acting schools that are recognized by the audience and the industry.
Among them, I am looking forward to these people the most.
The first place, Wang Zhifei.
Wang Zhifei, a national first-class actor, can easily control various roles.
Whether it is the ruthless Gao Mingyuan in the center of "Sweeping the Black Storm", or the scumbag Zuo Dajian in "Ordinary Road", he can accurately interpret it.
More importantly, Wang Zhifei has quite mature experience in historical revolutionary dramas, in "The Middle Stream Hitting the Water", Wang Zhifei plays Chen Duxiu's "soul", he is always so resolute and stubborn, but he is confused and hesitant, and there is always a pure heart pounding.
Wang Zhifei perfectly portrayed the image of a pioneer with superb acting skills.
In addition, he has played many roles such as Nie Rongzhen and Zhu De in many works, although "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has not yet announced the role played by Wang Zhifei, but for him, any role can be easily handled.
second place, Ding Zhiyong.
In works such as "Arrow on the String", "Soul of the Iron Army" and "Captain of the Criminal Police", Ding Zhiyong's outstanding performance has been recognized by the audience.
Especially in "Sweeping the Black Storm", he performed the flattery and humble character of the director of the detention center, Qi Dali, in a particularly good way, which impressed the audience. I believe that in the new drama, Ding Zhiyong's performance will be equally brilliant.
third place, Liu Chenglin.
Many people may not have heard of this name, but they are graduated from Nortel, a professional actor, and his acting strength should not be underestimated.
In "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", Liu Chenglin will play the role of the young Mao Zedong, although his image is not very similar to the great man, but Liu Chenglin has good facial features and a leader's demeanor.
I'm looking forward to his performance.
Epilogue:
As a historical revolutionary drama, "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is of course attentive.
In order to allow the actors to better understand the mentality of the characters at that time, the crew organized many scripts to read around and carry out relevant courses before the start of filming, and went to Shaoshan, Hunan, Itakura to pay homage to the former residence of the great man, etc.
However, in addition to intentions, what determines the failure of the drama is the key point: the angle.
The life of a historical drama lies in the truth, and there can also be reasonable imagination in the real history, how to restore the spirit of that era and the mental journey of the young Mao Zedong in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is the biggest difficulty in the whole play.
Because in turbulent times, that kind of especially valuable character is contagious to any generation of young people.
Whether "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" can overcome this difficulty will be revealed when the feature film is broadcast.
