34 episodes of the period drama are coming, 5 national first-class actors gathered, and all the members were powerful

"Seventy-nine rivers open, eighty-nine geese come".

Xiaohan has passed, the New Year is coming, it's time to watch period dramas.

At the beginning of each year, one of the most popular genres of national dramas: period dramas.

Don't believe it, in the early years, there was a legendary drama like "Breaking through the Guandong", and after the CCTV broadcast was broadcast, the ratings once approached 11%, setting a new CCTV record.

More recently, there is "The World" the year before last, which set a new high in the prime time of CCTV in the past 8 years, becoming a phenomenal domestic drama.

At the beginning of this year, the "Flowers" that has already been broadcast does not count, and the next "The Years of the Great River is Like a Song" and "South to North" are also period dramas.

But in addition to these scheduled hits, who can become a dark horse at the beginning of the year?

In my opinion, this "Seventy-Nine Rivers" has the most potential.

Just tonight, this 34-episode civilian family drama that was filmed in 2013 and broadcast on major terrestrial channels will be broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV.

Looking at the lineup, starring Lian Yiming and Sarina, Ni Dahong, He Zhengjun, Zhang Guangbei, Ding Liuyuan, Ji Ta, etc., there is no top-notch one, and there are 5 national first-class actors.

Family-themed period dramas have star ratings on Tianjin Satellite TV, which have never been low.

So, Tianjin Satellite TV has shot at period dramas again this time, and the dramas have been on for 10 years, can they create a ratings miracle?

Don't underestimate it. Good period dramas have a charm: they can always cross geographical restrictions, pass through the barrier of time, and constantly reach the latest audience.

1. Story: A civilian epic that spans the ages, and the drama of this era is positive

Period dramas, in fact, are divided into many types.

For example, CCTV's "Flowers" is a business war drama of the era, the classic "Breaking through the Guandong" in the past, and "Pearl River People", which surpassed "Hurricane" in ratings this year, are all legendary dramas of the era.

But to say that it is the closest to the lives of the people and the most classics, it is still the period dramas such as "The Family Has Nine Phoenixes" and "Old Farmers" that focus on the lives of ordinary people.

"Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" is a "civilian family epic", telling the ups and downs of the fate of ordinary families in the changing times.

The story revolves around the twists and turns of the growth story of three sworn brothers with different surnames in this vast forest field in late winter and spring.

At the end of the 70s of the 20th century, Qin Dalu and Huo Sai, young people in the forest farm, met Wang Weidong, the son of Wang Youfu, a habitual forest thief.

Qin Dalu rescued the girl Manzhu and fell in love with Manzhu. Huo Sai can only bury his love for Manjoo deep in his heart. Qin Dalu and Huo Sai's father died as a forest guard, and everyone suspected that it had something to do with Wang Youfu. The mainland mother supported the two broken families and raised several children who were not related by blood.

The mainland was unexpectedly imprisoned, and during the earthquake, Huo Saiyong rescued Manzhu, and Manzhu made a difficult choice between two men.

The mainland, who made meritorious service and commuted his sentence, let go of his love for Manzhu and devoted himself to the business world, during which he met businesswoman Wang Li.

The truth of the poaching incident was revealed, and Wei Dong and Hongying finally became married.

In order to protect Manzhu, Huo Sai was seriously injured and died with a smile. Manzhu came to Tibet's aid with the medical team. The mainland joined hands with Wang Li to turn a page of their lives.

To be honest, this synopsis is not well written, and it can even be misunderstood, thinking that it is another romantic drama under the guise of a period drama.

But in fact, there are three real highlights of the series:

First, human affection is warm and cold.

The very important content in the first half of the story is that the mainland mother played by Sarina supports two families by herself.

The life of the forest farm, the warmth and coldness of the neighborhood, the development and changes of the era train, and the magnificent ten years from the late 70s to the 90s are slowly unfolding with the perspective of the protagonist.

The second is the struggle of young people.

One of the key points of the story is how Qin Dalu, who was accidentally imprisoned for three years, can start over.

Probably a lot of people will say.

What can be compared to the youth of the forest farm in the 70s and today?

Not really.

The reason why the story of a period drama can move people is that it can take into account many audience groups from top to bottom in the shaping of characters.

People are people of different generations, but different people have common ups and downs, wandering, and perseverance in the process of struggle.

That's the biggest attraction.

The third is brotherhood.

In the trailer of the series, there have been a large number of plots in which the three brothers worship their sons, grow up to be estranged, collide, turn against each other, and reconcile over the years.

Although the bridge is old, it is easy to use, and the reason why this kind of brother drama keeps appearing in period dramas, and it is also in last year's period drama "The Sea in My Dreams", is because the audience is tired of it.

2, lineup: The powerful faction is in charge, and 5 national first-class actors are in charge, this acting skill is too stable

However, if "79 River Open" wants to become a dark horse at the beginning of the year, it still needs a capable director to control it.

And the director of this drama is the leading actor of this play, Lian Yiming.

Lian Yiming is known for directing anti-Japanese war dramas, and has filmed many anti-Japanese war dramas such as "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" and "Big Knife Cutting Off the Devil's Head", and the score of his anti-Japanese war dramas is not low.

Huang Zhizhong starred in "Once Upon a Time in the Republic of China" scored 7.7, "Zhongtian Hanging Sword" scored 8.0 points, and Du Chun and Zhang Jiayi's "Snow Wolf Valley" scored 7.3 points.

His dramas are characterized by a strong sense of legend, especially good at men's plays, and the creation of heroes is often very exciting, especially good at self-directing and acting.

When he came to shoot, at least in the traces of the characters' lives and the details of the scene layout, he would strive to be real and simple, which was in line with that era.

The texture of the era and the dramatic tension are guaranteed.

Speaking of actors, the cast of the series is not strong, but it is thick enough.

If you don't believe it, let's talk about the 5 national first-class actors in this play.

The first one, Sarina.

As a frequent guest of CCTV dramas, Sarina's performance strength is beyond doubt.

She is recognized as a professional mother in national dramas. In the famous work "Crossing the Guandong", she played her mother, and in every play since then, she is basically a mother.

In "The World", Sarina plays Su Hua, a mother of 3 children.

To this day, I still remember the scene where Zhou's father came home, she played Zhou's mother because of a coma, and her memory was good and bad, but Zhou Zhigang returned home, Zhou's mother looked at him, and looked at the photo several times, when she shouted the sentence "his father".

The voice is soft and warm, and the lines are only two words, but they interpret the thousands of emotions of the characters in the play, which makes people have to admire.

This time, she played the mainland mother, who is still the best traditional Chinese mother, when her husband Qin Xiangyang was pushed down the wolf's den by the bandits and sacrificed, she strongly pulled several children to grow up.

This character is gentle, housekeeping, well-versed in righteousness, and down-to-earth. It is the appearance of their mother in the minds of countless people.

She will play this role, of course, it will not be wrong.

second place, Ni Dahong.

Ni Dahong is also an old acquaintance of everyone, and his acting skills are not picky.

From Sun Maocai in "Qiao's Courtyard", to Yan Song in "Ming Dynasty 1566", to Sima Yi in "New Three Kingdoms", to the mountain carving in "Lin Hai Xueyuan", and Su Peidong in "No War in Beiping", and the big drug lord in "Wolf Warrior 1", he has created a lot of classic roles.

But the one who made his popularity reach the peak was Su Daqiang in "It's All Good".

There are always people who say that his performance is expressionless and has not changed much. In fact, Ni Dahong's acting skills are ever-changing.

Playing Yan Song, highlighting an "old", with an old face, an old body, and a deep plan.

Playing Sima Yi, highlighting a "yin", the means are yin, the expression is cold, and even the lover's life is wanted!

Playing Su Daqiang, highlighting a "work", making heaven and earth.

This time, he played Wang Youfu, and he is another superb character, this kind of role naturally cannot be difficult for him.

third place, Zhang Guangbei.

With just two roles, it is enough for the audience to see the acting skills of this national first-class actor, Lu Bu in the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword".

In "Bright Sword", he played Chu Yunfei, who fought with Li Yunlong without breaking. The character image is three-dimensional and expressive, and it can be said that without Chu Yunfei played by Zhang Guangbei, Li Youbin's Li Yunlong would not be so successful.

Zhang Guangbei's acting skills have nothing to say, he is born with a sense of oppression and domineering. But there are not many classic works over the years, and as soon as he opened his mouth in the play, "Your dad has to go 30 miles against the wind", a vivid and vivid momentum immediately came out.

Fourth, He Zhengjun.

mentioned Zhang Guangbei earlier, then we have to mention He Zhengjun.

The drama "Bright Sword" made Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei popular, and also made He Zhengjun completely out of the circle.

In the play, many rivalry scenes between Li Youbin and He Zhengjun can be called classics, Li Yunlong is impatient and impulsive, and Zhao Gang is calm and introverted. The two of them are relaxed one by one, and they cooperate tacitly, without his role, "Bright Sword" is not so enjoyable.

In recent years, He Zhengjun's works are still quite numerous. He can be seen in many well-known dramas. In "Crossing the Yalu River", he played Chen Geng, and in "The Awakening Age", he played Gu Weijun. In "Ideal City", he played Lao He.

This time, his role is still righteous and awe-inspiring, with a serious face to teach the male protagonist, and a shot made me travel back to "Bright Sword".

fifth, Ding Liuyuan.

As a national first-class actor, Ding Liuyuan's most classic role is the third generation of Sister Jiang, and in recent years, she has been featured in dramas such as "Welcome to McNugget Village".

This time, her role is businesswoman Wang Li, with a variety of styles and temperaments.

In addition to these few, there is also the male protagonist Lian Yiming, the role in "Blood Romance" is still a classic, and he plays a period drama, which is indeed an internal taste.

Ji He, who has an outstanding performance in "Ice and Snow Sharp Knife Company", plays the male protagonist's life and death brother Wang Weidong in the play, and his stubbornness immediately came out.

and Wang Weiwei, who played a big beauty in big dramas such as "Dragon City", this time played a role sandwiched between the two brothers of the male protagonist - Manzhu.

It is true that acting skills cannot absolutely guarantee the quality of period dramas, but with these powerful actors joining, at least the acting skills will not make the audience play and embarrassed.

3, a period drama that has been on the market for ten years, can it still become a dark horse at the beginning of the year?

Although the series has been on for ten years, I am still sure that "Qijiu River Open" will set off a ratings boom, and even become a dark horse for satellite TV dramas at the beginning of the year.

Don't underestimate old dramas that have been on the air for many years.

is also an old drama that has been broadcast on terrestrial channels for many years, and "Da Shengkui", which was broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV last year, once rushed to the third place in the satellite TV ratings and became an out-and-out dark horse in the ratings.

As long as these old dramas have a solid script foundation and a powerful faction, they are still enough to attract the audience's attention. The terrestrial channel ratings are good, and the star ratings will not be bad.

Especially for the older generation of audiences, such a period drama is more needed.

The period dramas starring the new generation of traffic idols, although the number of online broadcasts is more explosive, for old audiences, compared with the popularity of the actors, whether it is the costumes around the characters or the spirit of the characters themselves, they are all true enough, so that the audience can enter quickly and not play, which is more important.

Old-time dramas like "Qijiu River Open" have really put a lot of effort into restoring the sense of age.

For young audiences, they have to face a world that the previous generation has never seen, no one can imagine how the future will develop, and no one can give the experience of those who have come before.

In fact, the older generation of young people is no different from this generation of young people.

Watching period dramas, or for what?

In my opinion, the most interesting thing is to review the choices of the older generation in their youth and similar circumstances.

What this generation of young people has experienced, and what people have experienced before.

The years are different, but youth is always similar.

There is still a month to go before the Spring Festival, which is the time of Qijiu River.

"Seven or nine rivers open, eight or nine geese come", which means that during this period, the river freezes and dissolves, the temperature begins to rise, everything ushers in a recovery, geese also fly from the south to the north, and the new year begins.

Chasing the drama for the New Year, the days will always slowly get warmer.
