Among domestic dramas, there is a type of theme with extremely obvious style characteristics - historical revolutionary dramas.
The last historical revolutionary drama that had strong characteristics of the times and was praised by the audience, which work did you think of?
Presumably "The Awakening Age" in 2021, which has both a solid script and a strong cast to escort it, countless audiences can't help but be fascinated.
However, after that, although dramas such as "Ideal Shines on China" and "Armageddon" were broadcast, there was always a lack of a hit that could be compared with "The Awakening Age".
Until recently, a historical revolutionary drama gave the audience hope, and the ratings broke 1 for 13 consecutive days, with a Douban score of 8.6.
If you don't sell it, it's just that-
"Ask the Boundless".
stands out among the "traffic passwords" such as ancient puppets and cities, what does "Ask the Boundless" rely on?
Focus on the growth history of great people and resonate with contemporary youth
How to make this process wonderful on the premise of knowing the ending is an unavoidable problem for all revolutionary historical dramas.
"Ask the Boundless" did it.
It can only be said that CCTV's official media's comments on "Ask the Boundless" are exquisite, and every sentence is a must.
Unlike the images we saw in previous film and television works of great men pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan, "Ask the Boundless" did not deliberately highlight the highlight moments of major events or revolutionary greats.
Rather, it promotes the development of events through the daily lives and specific actions of the characters, and then explores the road of China's revolution in the logical chain of each event.
The soul of "Ask the Boundless" is the young Mao Zedong (played by Wang Renjun), and the drama can only be considered successful when he is filmed. The series focuses on two major events that Mao Zedong devoted himself to after returning from the First National Congress.
The first is to establish a self-study university and develop and strengthen the party organization.
Mao Zedong had the heart of patriotism to save the country, and his wife Yang Kaihui (played by Jiaze) convened everyone at the Culture Book Club to discuss the establishment of a self-study university.
found He Minfan (Li Chengru), the president of the Chuanshan Society, invited him to serve as the president and solve the financial problem, successfully founded a self-study university, and successfully recruited students to find "true comrades", and in the same year, the Hunan Party branch was formally established.
This is also the first provincial-level branch after the founding of the party, and Mao Zedong and his colleagues have explored the road, opening up a vast world for the Chinese revolution.
The second is to develop a workers' movement.
Mao Zedong and others traveled the Xiangjiang River, and were inspired to carry out a workers' revolution, and first selected Huang Ai (played by Sun Zhenpeng) and Pang Renquan (played by Han Minglin) to set up a labor union, but they were anarchists.
So, Mao Zedong came to the workers' dormitory and told them about his ideals and ambitions, but Huang Ai asked Mao Zedong if he had ever been a worker, and woke up the dreamer with a word, and Mao Zedong set out to inspect in the name of running a school.
Under the leadership of the party, more than 100 strikes were launched across the country, in which more than 300,000 workers participated.
The warlords had to fully accede to the demands of the workers, but the road to revolution was not smooth, the situation was unpredictable, and what choice did the young Mao Zedong have to make under the crisis?
This is what can move the audience the most in the series, Mao Zedong is not a great man who guides the country as soon as he appears, but has gone through the process, which is the focus of this play.
The casting fits the character and makes the audience's eyes shine
can use vivid stories to shoot the answers behind the vast history, I have to say that "Ask the Boundless" is very exciting. What's more, "Ask the Boundless" has been successful in casting actors.
Among them, these are the ones who impressed me the most.
The first place, Wang Renjun.
In "Ask the Boundless", Mao Zedong is the core character of the whole play, and in many previous film and television works, the great characters played by actors such as Tang Guoqiang and Hou Jingjian are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, Wang Renjun's performance is not inferior.
In the scene of leading the workers' revolution, the facial expressions and movements of the characters should be connected back and forth in a scene, and Wang Renjun showed the calm and unhurried aura of the characters with ease, highlighting the steady characteristics of the characters.
Whether it is private relaxation or the imminent danger at a critical juncture, Wang Renjun has performed the essence of the role of a great man.
second place, Song Jia.
Song Qingling, played by Song Jia, made the audience's eyes shine. It's not that Song Jia's appearance is not similar to Song Qingling, but that Song Jia performed the characteristics of Song Qingling's beauty in temperament.
In the play, she wears a plain cheongsam, dignified and elegant, and is full of the charm of an advanced woman when she talks about her opinions, reaching a realm of "calm and enthusiasm for revolutionary ideals".
Song Jia's performance seems calm, but it has great power and is shocking.
third place, Zheng Yecheng.
Most of the Premier Zhou in everyone's impression is middle-aged and elderly, mature and steady, but Zhou Enlai in his youth, in addition to being elegant, like most young people, has revolutionary enthusiasm.
The young Zhou Enlai played by Zheng Yecheng may not be the most similar, but the performance is very right, benevolence, compassion, elegance and blood, which can be seen in Zheng Yecheng's eyes.
Especially in the section where he led the workers' uprising, the great man who played the role of a military general and a Confucian man was vividly interpreted, and his words and deeds seemed to see the frozen frame of history.
Premier Zhou's image has followed.
fourth place, Ma Shaohua.
I think no one is more suitable for the role of Sun Yat-sen than Ma Shaohua, he plays Sun Yat-sen, who has both form and spirit, and the audience knows who he plays without introduction.
Compared with the high-spirited in many versions, Ma Shaohua played the traces of the characters after the baptism of the years, when he slowly said "Save my Cantonese people, broken bones", his tone was gentle, but he expressed the endless sorrow in his heart.
Ma Shaohua's performance brought the characters in the history books to the audience.
In addition, Ning Li's version of Chen Duxiu, Zhang Xiaolong's version of Wang Jingwei, and Tang Zeng's version of Li Dazhao appeared vividly in a three-dimensional way, making the audience enthusiastic to watch.
Epilogue:
The reason why "Ask the Boundless" is so well received is inseparable from these two points.
First, fill the vacancy in the film and television industry.
The plot focuses on the story of the young Mao Zedong growing from a follower to a pioneer from 1921 to 1927, which has not been touched on in previous film and television works.
Second, it depicts a complete group portrait line of the times.
The background chosen for the series is that at the time of the convergence of various social ideological waves, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Chinese society, and it is also in such changes of the times that a group of young people in their prime regard their ideals above everything else and are ambitious.
The significance of the historical revolutionary drama is to let the audience know that China's development and growth is due to the fact that there are people who stick to their beliefs and pay the price of blood and lives.
