Another costume drama, Zhang Songwen plays the leading role, as soon as this drama comes out, the status of "Tang Wei" is not guaranteed

I have to say that this year's domestic drama "Flowers" has made a good start, and the national drama has begun to roll up and take the route of high-quality and textured.

At the beginning of February, a number of blockbuster dramas were officially announced.

Satellite TV, on the other hand, took out the most anticipated current puppet "In the Blizzard" this year.

The starring roles are Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai, who are very popular in the country, in order to shoot the essence of the original work, the crew also went to the Netherlands to film, and the atmosphere is very good.

Yang Ma is even better here, and she has been on 2 big dramas in one go.

One is the "The World"-level period drama "South to North", from the finalized poster and starring lineup, the ratings can basically book a "Wang Bang".

One is the long-awaited costume suspense drama "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", which was once called an "upgraded version" of "Tang Dynasty Legends".

From the theme of the drama to the starring lineup to the scale of filming, it is difficult to think about whether it is popular or not.

What's more, it is still placed on a platform like Yangba, and it goes without saying that the hit at the beginning of the year depends on who is the first with "South to North".

But although the national drama in early February was so lively and high-quality, Qingshi was still attracted by a piece of news-

"The Code of Qingming Riverside Map" is finished!

As early as the start of filming of this drama, the show has been locked by CCTV.

It is said that the crew also set up a party branch when the film was started, and even went directly to Kuntv News, which shows the degree of attention.

Now, this big drama has finally been completed, and Qingshi really can't wait to recommend it to everyone.

Because with just a few stills, this drama almost puts the words "2024's most powerful drama" in front of us, which is really attractive.

It's still the old rules, Qingshi will take everyone to take a look, why can this drama win the most anticipated in 2024?

1, the original work is called "The Book of Wonders", which has been created for more than 7 years, and there are 824 "protagonists" alone

"The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival" is adapted from Ye Wenbiao's series of novels of the same name.

Speaking of which, we have to mention Zhang Zeduan's masterpiece "Qingming Riverside Map".

"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", one of the top ten famous paintings in China.

The work is 528.7 centimeters long and 24.8 centimeters wide, and uses scattered perspective composition to vividly record the prosperity of the Bianhe River in Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty in China, and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time.

It is not only a testimony to the prosperity of the capital Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a portrayal of the economic situation of the city in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the more than five-meter-long scroll, a total of 824 people, more than 60 livestock, more than 20 wooden boats, and various characteristic buildings are depicted.

The whole map is roughly divided into three parts: the spring light in the suburbs of Bianjing, the scene of the Bianhe River, and the market in the city.

It is worth mentioning that this famous painting that praises the peaceful and prosperous times, 25 years after the dedication, the Jin soldiers invaded on a large scale.

Killing people and burning the city, the fire in Bianjing City was not extinguished for three days, and the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty was swept away overnight.

The author Ye Wenbiao was interested in "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", so after three years of conception, seven years of creation, and ten years of sharpening a sword, this book was finally completed.

Because although the scene of "Qingming Riverside Picture" is lively, it does not only show a prosperous city scene, but a "prosperous and dangerous picture" with a sense of distress.

It's like the idleness of the high fire tower in the city;

official food crisis;

Officials are lazy;

The city gates are unguarded, etc...

Among them, the most eye-catching is the first climax of the picture scroll - shipwreck!

In the center of the picture, on the Bianhe River, where the boats are connected, a seemingly ordinary passenger boat is about to cross the Hongqiao.

But because it was too late to lower the mast, it seemed that the ship was about to crash into the rainbow bridge.

The boatmen on the boat were scrambling to hold the bridge with their long poles.

Watching the lively people on the bridge, some are shouting, some are eating melons quietly, and some are still arguing with others regardless of their own affairs.

It is this untimely contradiction and conflict that Ye Wenbiao created a shocking case.

In the midst of the chaos, the shadow of the thief flashed, and when the smoke cleared, twenty-four corpses appeared on the passenger ship, and everyone was stunned......

In addition, amid the cries of hawkers, spies and assassins from Jin, Liao, Western Xia, Goryeo and other countries have already lurked in the painting, pretending to be ambushed in boats, cars, sedans, and wine shops, and the smell of death permeates the sparkling clouds and shadows of the Bianhe River.

Ye Wenbiao gives every detail in the painting a rational imagination, making the story vivid and bizarre without losing the truth, and a magnificent situation slowly unfolds.

There are five major groups of scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers, and the six forces of Song, Goryeo, Liao, Jin, Western Xia, and Fangla, as well as more than 20 kinds of reasoning and tricks, and more than 80 large and small cases.

It is precisely for this reason that this book is called a strange book that combines history and mystery and suspense.

When it was published, the book shook the historiography and literary circles because of its meticulous research and dense logical reasoning, causing readers to become addicted on a large scale, which can be called the largest historical reasoning pattern in the history of fiction!

The Japanese reasoning column also gave a very high evaluation of "a work describing the ambitions of the Northern Song Dynasty".

After the publication, the film and television version of the book was immediately robbed, and it is said that in the end, Alibaba Pictures spent hundreds of millions to win the copyright.

And after the book was confirmed to be made into a film and television, it was revealed that it would be made into a series, following the path of Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the same group of people signed several films in one go.

Such a big drama that has a global layout from the beginning of filming will not be bad!

So what kind of story does the drama version of "The Code of Qingming Shanghetu" tell?

The series mainly revolves around Zhao Buyou's family who lived in Bianliang City during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As the plot progresses, five intricate cases gradually surface:

The mysterious Bazi case, the confusing sachet case, the suspicious Fan Lou case, the staggering transformation case, and the Meichuan case that affected the whole body.

No matter which case it is, it is curious.

Judging from the current known situation, the layout of the series should be one case, 30 episodes about a big case, plus the customs of the Song Dynasty, I really haven't seen such a large-scale costume historical suspense drama for a long time.

2, the main creator can be called the "top match" of the national drama, starring Zhang Songwen, and 12 powerful factions to help;

With a very good foundation for the original work, who will play it? and who will shoot it?

Don't worry, the main creative team of "The Code of Qingming Shanghetu" is also heavyweight, which can be called the "top match" in the field of Chinese dramas.

Director Yang Fan has previously filmed the same type of work "Gentlemen's League", although this drama is not very popular, but the series is remarkable in terms of shooting and picture.

The picture is very textured, and some parts are quite ingenious, and the director's skills are worthy of recognition.

Judging from the texture of the final photos, this drama definitely cost a lot of money, and the director's ability in composition and light and shadow processing is also outstanding.

Any still, not only has a simple tone, but also has a sense of story.

Screenwriter Yan Chao is basically a rookie screenwriter, and he basically has no works before.

But fortunately, the story of this original work is very strong, as long as the original work is respected, it is impossible to overturn.

Compared with the director and screenwriter, the starring lineup of "The Code of Qingming Riverside Picture" is the king of Wang Bang.

Pull out a few names at random, all of which are guarantees of acting skills in national dramas.

The first place, Zhang Songwen.

In the starring lineup of "Qingming Riverside Picture Code", the most eye-catching is Zhang Songwen, who became popular last year with "Hurricane".

Zhang Songwen's acting strength has always been obvious to all.

Before "Hurricane", he also had an amazing performance in "The Hidden Corner".

The scene of eating noodles on the roadside with Zhu Chaoyang is very in place, both in terms of emotional expression and expression interpretation.

Gao Qiqiang's acting skills in "Hurricane" are even more unique.

Gao Qiqiang's different character states in three stages, Zhang Songwen showed them well with advanced acting skills, and the interpretation was real and vivid.

is not an exaggeration, with his interpretation of this role, he will definitely be able to win the TOP3 acting skills in 2023.

Gao Qiqiang's complete outing of the circle made him have more books to choose from, which led to Zhao Buyou, the male protagonist of "The Code of Qingming Shanghe Tu".

Zhao Buyou is not only a book-copying official of Dali Temple, but also a resourceful person with detective potential.

Judging from the stills, Zhang Songwen showed his cleverness.

In order to fit the setting that the character is a copyist, he has been hunched back slightly, and this detail has been picked out, this character must be alive!

second place, Bai Baihe.

Although the choice of the heroine is a bit unexpected, Bai Baihe, as the former spokesperson of the chick, does not need to worry about his acting skills.

Zheng Youen, who was previously in "Welcome", also showed her current acting skills.

Judging from the stills, her character this time also looks like a person with a lot of ideas.

is full of simplicity in appearance, and there is a bit of the feeling of the popular "Monster Hunt" back then, looking forward to a wave of her performance in the play.

Third place, Monday Wai.

Zhou Yiwei is also an old acquaintance in high-quality Chinese dramas, and in the upcoming "Tang Di Gong Case", he plays the starring role.

In a few scenes of the trailer, you can feel the changes in the actors' acting skills.

is worthy of being an old actor with a professional background and constant praise.

This time, Gu Zhen played by him looked like a petty official from his dress, looking into the distance with a solemn face, and what was conveyed in his expression was that there was a story.

fourth place, Hou Yansong.

Among the many stills released at the end, Qingshi felt that Hou Yansong was the most amazing.

uses old drama bones to describe Hou Yansong, presumably everyone agrees, he is also a national first-class actor of the National Theater.

He is good at using his body and voice to shape and enrich characters, and in 2023's "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope", he plays Fang Maozhen is a representative role.

In the stills, he is holding Chinese classical music in his arms, wearing a brown and yellow robe, and sitting on a chair with his feet crossed.

The movements are lazy and free, and there is no trace of "acting" at all, just like the ancients who came out of the paintings.

With the blessing of such an old drama bone, the gold content of this drama is even higher.

fifth, Lin Jiachuan.

Lin Jiachuan, who had an excellent performance in "Hurricane", also appeared in "The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival" this time.

In the stills, his eyes look different from others, and he feels that he is hiding a secret.

But no matter what kind of character it is, I believe Lin Jiachuan can handle it accurately.

sixth place, Li Naiwen.

Another powerful faction!

Li Naiwen has a high sense of presence in recent years, and the reason is very simple, the play is good and attentive.

In "Splendid Mountains and Rivers", he played the role of Zhao Shuhe, the village party secretary, who spoke an authentic dialect, and painted his skin black and his teeth yellow for the role.

In "The Daughter Who Came Back", he also handled delicate feelings just right.

This time, he played the official Dylan, who looks upright and majestic in an official uniform, I don't know if his role in the play will be more complicated than the stills.

Seventh, sea day.

The sea day is very malleable!

Whether it is the anti-first officer in the TV series "The Wind" or the pseudo-mother in the movie "Don Quixote", his role is shaped with a strong sense of contrast and contrast, and he is also called the "Transformer" of the film and television industry by industry insiders.

In the play, his exotic outfit looks like a not simple character, and he may be the key character in the first part.

This appearance is rare in Chinese dramas in recent years, and it has the flavor of the wolf guard in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".

eighth place, Wang Peilu.

Wang Peilu, an old acquaintance in "Hurricane", also came, and while he got out of the circle with an emoji, his acting skills were also seen.

In fact, he has had acting masterpieces very early, and won the Jury Award at the 4th China Independent Film Festival for the movie "Anzi".

This time he also participated, and there is no specific news about who is playing, looking forward to a wave~

The ninth, is Ann.

In the stills, another person in the painting is "resurrected" is Zhang Zeduan played by An.

The scholar's appearance is extraordinary, and his perspective is that of the writer of the story in the painting, with the alienation of being outside the painting.

One look, he showed it all.

In addition to the above nine undoubtedly powerful factions, "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" also has many young actors whose acting skills are recognized by the audience.

is like Zhang Yao, who has had a good performance in "Young You" and "Youth Tour Acacia".

In "Sunshine Sisters", there is a smart performance of Xia Meng.

There are also Zhang Xinyu and Jiang Peiyao, who are amazingly dressed, and it can be seen from their costumes that this drama is really attentive.

By the way, just in "Dog Leftovers Run", "White Moonlight" was interpreted very well, and the audience saw that the heartbroken "Apricot" Wang He also starred.

as well as You Jingru, Wang Duo, Zhang Tianyang, Hao Fushen and so on.

Not to mention anything else, this lineup can brush up on a wave of "expectations" just by relying on actors.

But the real secret weapon of "Qingming Shanghe Tu Password" has not yet been revealed!

3, 3 billion! has directly built a city for filming, and the costume suspense drama is about to open a new era

When this drama was launched, it was directly on the official news.

First, the script and starring role of this drama are worth looking forward to, and secondly, there is more than just filming behind this drama.

The first is to build a city.

At the beginning of filming, the person in charge of the platform of this drama said that he wanted to use the aircraft carrier-level volume to depict the humanistic features of the Northern Song Dynasty.

To achieve such a goal, the existing shooting scenes are certainly not enough.

So in the Zhouzhuang Digital Dream Factory in Kunshan City, a city of the Song Dynasty was directly built.

It has built 146 acres of Song Dynasty building exteriors, and restored many areas and landmark buildings in the "Qingming Riverside Map" 1:1, which is undoubtedly the largest and most authentic Song Dynasty real scene base in China.

One more word to clarify, the 3 billion investment is not an investment in the drama, but an investment in the construction of this Song Dynasty film and television base, but "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was the first to be filmed here.

Judging from the stills released so far, the scenes in the play are indeed reproduced and restored to "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".

For example, in the part of the bridge here, the sedan chair collides with the person on horseback and has to stop, which is exactly the same as the painting.

The boat under the bridge hit the bridge, and the boatman struggled to hold on.

The building on the street is more finely restored than in the painting.

And the crew also did a very delicate job in the restoration of makeup and hair.

For a long time, there have not been many dramas set in the Song Dynasty, and there have been 2 more out of the circle in recent years.

One is "Qingping Le" dominated by the noon sun, and the makeup of this drama has brought the flavor of restoring the charm of the Song Dynasty.

followed by "Da Song Gong Ci" starring Liu Tao, aside from the plot and only looking at the costumes, this drama is indeed remarkable.

But what these two dramas show is more about the life of the palace nobles, what is the life of the common people?

This point, "Qingming Riverside Map Password" gives the answer.

Judging from the stills, whether it is the clothing of the common people or the dress of the nobles, it can be seen at a glance and is in line with history.

Although the finale special has not yet come out, and we don't know more and more detailed information, just with these stills, the texture of this drama has already come out.

Good drama, no doubt.

The second is virtual shooting.

Virtual shooting, a term that is not unfamiliar in film and television production.

Last year's hit dramas "1899" and "Dragon Family" used this filming method.

This shooting technique is the trend of the times, but the domestic technology has not reached the level of large-scale shooting before.

This time, "The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival" was the first "person" to eat crabs.

In the filming of the play, a large amount of virtual shooting is used, which is simply to put the later work in front.

When the director is shooting, he can already see the basic finished effect.

In this way, a lot of costs can be saved in the later adjustments.

Of course, this method tests the acting skills of the actors, but fortunately, "The Code of Qingming Shanghetu" does not have this worry.

In other words, "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" has been at the forefront of national dramas in terms of filming techniques.

Seeing now, Qingshi has to sigh that whether it is the script, director, actors, or the show's intentions and bold attempts in filming, this drama can afford the words "most anticipated in 2024".

In a word, there is a good show to watch this year!
