The major revolutionary historical TV series "Ask the Boundless" is a key repertoire of the State Administration of Radio and Television to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's birth. Such a historical drama, for a TV series that truly records history, must have a story but must not go against history.
For the first time, the TV series "Ask the Boundless" focuses on the historic transformation of young Mao Zedong from the "pioneer" to the "pioneer" of the Chinese revolution between 1921 and 1927. It tells the difficult journey of the early communists, represented by the young Mao Zedong, to explore the road of the Chinese revolution.
From the founding of the Communist Party of China, the general strike of the Jinghan railway workers, the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the death of Sun Yat-sen, the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, and the two counter-revolutionary coups in 1927, the establishment of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, the Nanchang Uprising, the August 7 Conference, and the Autumn Harvest Rebellion, every event completely follows the principle of reproducing history, which can be called a history textbook and can be used as a teaching material.
For such a historical theme, the crew adheres to the principle of high restoration.
Not only does the plot refer to historical data, but it is reproduced one-to-one, and even the construction of props and scenes is highly restored.
For example, all kinds of meetings, offices, and historical photos are referred to the materials to ensure that all are restored and reproduced.
The protagonist Wang Renjun is playing Mao Runzhi in his youth for the fifth time, he is not only very familiar with the role, but also has the highest degree of restoration.
The heroes and heroines in "Asking the Boundless" are, of course, Mao Runzhi and Yang Kaihui, whose revolutionary love is touching; younger brothers Mao Zemin and Qian Xijun, who met and knew each other because of revolutionary work; Cai Hesen Xiang Jingyu's love in the flames of war formed in the revolution, and so on.
As a male-dominated historical TV series, the female characters in the play are still very eye-catching.
For example, Yang Kaihui, Gao Junman, Xiang Jingyu, Mao Zejian and so on.
In the play, the three sisters of the Song family are historical figures, and Zhuyu is in front, which is a great challenge for the actors.
The three roles of Song Qingling, Song Meiling and Song Ailing in the play, the three actresses have done a very good job, and they have their own characteristics.
1, Song Qingling is played by actor Song Jia.
Song Jia, as an experienced actor who has debuted for many years, plays the young Song Qingling, which is still very suitable for the role.
The time span of Song Qingling in the play is from 1921 to 1927, when the 28-year-old Song Qingling and Sun Yat-sen stayed in Guangzhou to organize the protection of the government, and then Song Qingling covered Sun Yat-sen's escape, and the two moved to Shanghai.
Song Qingling's age in the play is between 28 and 35 years old, and Song Jia is very suitable in terms of age and appearance.
Song Jia is tall and has a good temperament, although Song Qingling's role is not heavy, but several scenes with Sun Yat-sen in the play are very outstanding.
In 1925, after Sun Yat-sen died of illness, Song Jia had a crying scene of missing Sun Yat-sen in the car, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears fell down, playing Song Qingling's silent sadness into three points.
2, Song Meiling is played by actor Jiang Mengjie
There are many actors who have played Song Meiling in literary and artistic works, and there are many famous actors, such as Wang Ji, Jiang Qinqin, Zhou Tao, Liu Tao, etc., so this role is a challenge for any actor.
Jiang Mengjie rose to prominence by starring as Lin Daiyu in the new national drama "Dream of Red Mansions".
Jiang Mengjie's ancient costumes and the appearance of the Republic of China are very good.
The timeline in the play is from 1921 to 1927, which happens to be the five years that Jiang Zhongzheng pursued Song Meiling, and at the end of the play, Song Meiling has not yet agreed to Jiang Zhongzheng.
In 1922, Jiang Zhongzheng was invited to attend the party held by Song Meiling's brother Song Ziwen in his Shanghai apartment, and met the young and beautiful Song Meiling for the first time.
But except for Song Ailing, everyone else in the Song family is against the relationship between the two.
Until the end of the plot in 1927, the two had no result, and Song Meiling on Lishan only married Jiang Zhongzheng in December 1927.
In the play, Song Meiling, who is 24 years old, is as beautiful as jade, noble and elegant, and Jiang Mengjie's appearance is very suitable.
3, Dong Xuan starred as Song Ailing
Song Ailing was the eldest of the three sisters of the Song family, and her desire for power was the most prominent, so although she fell in love with Sun Yat-sen when she was working as an assistant, it was clear that she married the more powerful Kong family.
Among the three sisters, Song Ailing married Kong Xiangxi in 1914, who was in power at the time, and was rich enough to rival the country, she went to the United States in 1947 and died of illness in New York in 1973, and her life was smoother than the other two sisters.
Dong Xuan has also played Song Qingling very successfully, and the role of Song Ailing this time is not heavy, but in the group drama, Song Ailing's characteristics are interpreted.
"Asking the Boundless" has already ended on the platform, but such an excellent repertoire that completely reproduces history is worth watching repeatedly as a history textbook.
