Editor's note The final drama of Beijing Satellite TV's Spring Festival file is the TV series "Decisive Victory". Written by Song Fangjin, directed by Yan Jiangang, starring Wang Qianyuan, Ke Lan, Wu Gang and Kong Wei. Yan Jiangang said that it tells the story of the intellectuals' war of resistance. Song Fangjin said that it was a wise plan to resist the war, not the thunder god to resist the war. Three years ago, when the smog overwhelmed the city, the film and television monologue went to the set on the outskirts of Beijing to visit the class and witnessed the shooting of a drama similar to the "concentration camp protest". I still remember that beyond the camera, a mask with white flowers... In the past two years, Song Fangjin's friends and opponents have been calling on him to speak with his works and use films to scare people. Now, here he is.
"Decisive Victory" is scheduled to be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV on February 17, 2018. That is, the second day of the Chinese New Year in the traditional sense. lament. Borrow the treasure of film and television and say a few words.
Screenwriter Song Fangjin
This schedule once aired one of my dramas, also on Beijing Satellite TV. It was still the age of four stars. That play is called "Beautiful Contract." It was broadcast on the second day of the Chinese New Year in 2014. That show left me with a lot of experience. The "dispute between the two Song Dynasties" was born, which became the composition topic of the 2014 Anhui Provincial College Entrance Examination, which brought a little thinking to the industry. "Decisive Victory" is the second day of the first year, four years like shuttles, white clouds and dogs.
The directors of "Decisive Victory" are Yan Jiangang and Fan Dongyu. Director Yan Jiangang and I met through Fan Dongyu. Winter Rain once collaborated with me on a low-budget movie called "Warm Pearls". The cost is low, but the pattern is not small. It is still the love of many movie fans. After meeting director Yan Jiangang, he has been seeking cooperation until he has "Decisive Victory".
Director Yan Jiangang, refreshing, fun, interesting. Likes to skewer and drink. You can pick up a lot of strings, and you can drink wine all night until dawn. But his alcohol intake always stayed at the level of a bottle cap. Before filming "Decisive Victory", Yan Dao had been drinking two pots. Each time I poured a bottle cap, I picked it with my mouth and squeaked until the end of the liquor bureau. The next day everyone will say, Ho, yesterday drank a night!
Director Yan Jiangang (right) is talking about the play
The main actors of "Decisive Victory" are Wang Qianyuan, Ke Lan, Wu Gang, Kong Wei and other teachers. There were two essential supplies in the trunk of Ke Lan's car, the same is Maotai and the same is stinky tofu. After the evening work, everyone had a drink. At the beginning, Yan Dao said that I couldn't drink Maotai and I only drank the second pot. Once there was really no second pot head, tried Maotai once, and never mentioned the second pot head again.
Some things are good and easy to identify. But first there has to be good and bad. The terrible thing is that between the bad and the bad, it can also be better than one. Then everyone decided it was good. At present, many dramas are good, and this is how they are compared.
Qianyuan acted, seriously, and competed. After taking the script, I found a hotel to stay in, quietly studied the script, and pondered the characters. So he has a great future.
This time, he played an intellectual of the Republic of China in "Decisive Victory", bold, resolute, responsible, born of sorrow, opening up Hongmeng, full of mixed elements and naïve will to create a new world. This character is quick to think, sensitive to action, likes to deal with unexpected storms with wisdom, and is accustomed to seeing the essence through phenomena. In traditional Chinese society, ruled by perceptual thinking, this character is destined to be an outlier. In life, Qianyuan is ordinary and ordinary, but among actors, it is an alien. He complements this character perfectly.
Mr. Curran, I have worked with me three times. One is "Mobile Phone", one is "Decisive Victory", and the just-finished "New Siege". Curran is heroic and majestic, and his relationship with the world is very clear. This time she played a master of psychology, which coincided with her educational background.
I don't write much drama, I have written a total of five TV series, "Mobile Phone", "Decisive Victory", "New Siege", "For a Word", and "Beautiful Contract". Among them, "For a Word" and "Beautiful Contract" I have long since dismissed as my works. Because "Beautiful Covenant" basically did not use my script, "For a Word" was also changed by the producer and several other screenwriters during the filming. What I want to say is that in the three works I have recognized, Mr. Curran has all starred. thank.
Teacher Wu Gang, played a Japanese officer in "Decisive Victory", anti number one. After reading the script, before booting, he went to Japan for a while. Teacher Wu Gang has extraordinary confidence in acting, he cares about his role, and he also cares about who plays with him. One night for a drink, I invited Teacher Wu Gang to come, and Teacher Wu Gang said that he couldn't come, and he wanted to invite the Japanese actor Seinan Kobayashi, who played his aide-de-camp, to eat a meal of shabu lamb, and Teacher Wu Gang said, "I have to figure out with him how to act." ”
Teacher Wu Gang usually smiles and squints, shouts to start the machine, his eyes are like knives, the force penetrates the back of the paper, and he instantly becomes a character. This is the horn. That's the beauty of the horns. Teacher Wu Gang commented on a good thing, just four words: "Straight into the lung tube!" "I have to write a work of direct lung tube insertion, and then cooperate with Teacher Wu Gang."
Teacher Kong Wei has been doing public welfare in recent years, acting in intermittent times. It is a pleasure to work with Mr. Kong Wei. I hope that Teacher Kong Wei will act more well. It's also a public good.
What kind of drama is "Decisive Victory"? I am actually very reluctant to say this genre, that is, it is actually a war drama. The reputation of the anti-war drama is not very good, and in recent years it has become synonymous with thunder drama and divine drama. War is a very cruel thing, it cannot be consumed, it cannot be entertained. So I define "Decisive Victory" as a clever drama.
Director Yan Jiangang wanted to make a trilogy of anti-japanese war, and he filmed "China's Land" in the peasants' war of resistance. "Decisive Victory" he believes is the intellectual resistance. What are the characteristics of the intellectual resistance? It's the brain. So "Decisive Victory" is a showdown between the strongest brains. Where is the winner of the war? Behind the national strength and physical strength is the brain power. The brain power of a nation is the most important. Film and television dramas are also the embodiment of brain power. Caution must be exercised.
When I wrote "Decisive Victory", I read a lot of materials on the Sino-Japanese War. The conclusion is that we must be the victorious side. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a war that could be sung and wept, full of national conviction, wisdom and indomitable spirit. At that time, it was not words, but actions and practices. "Decisive Victory" describes these actions and practices, and describes why we are the victorious party. "Decisive Victory" hopes to justify the name of the anti-war drama.
Let's also talk about professional and amateur issues. Some time ago, Han Han wrote an article about the difference between amateur masters and professional masters. That article was well written. The master is in the folk, which is a long-standing illusion and ignorance in the Taoist system of Chinese culture.
In recent years, the influx of a large amount of capital in the film and television industry has given birth to the concept of IP. Why is there such a concept, because capital does not judge the script, and of course, it does not judge all texts. However, it judges the traffic. High flow rate and high safety factor. This is the judgment of capital. Therefore, capital is also divided into amateur capital and professional capital. Amateur capital judges the flow, and professional capital judges the quality.
Is there still professional capital? Yes. But not much. The industry is saying that there are no good screenwriters, which is pure nonsense. There are many good screenwriters, but these screenwriters are useless. Saying that there is no good screenwriter can come to me, I will introduce a good screenwriter.
After amateur capital judges the amateur text, can it find a good screenwriter? No. In recent years, more than 90% of the screenwriters found in IP dramas are amateur screenwriters. Professional screenwriters don't do this kind of thing.
In other words, the scripts of IP dramas in recent years have basically failed. Invalid lines, empty plots, suspended characters, flat structures. The script has standards. This standard is not a matter of wisdom and wisdom, it is there, like all hardware products, there are various hard indicators.
What does it mean to say this, that is, "Decisive Victory" is a professional script written by a professional screenwriter. Various indicators are here. Efficient lines, smooth details, porcelain characters, three-dimensional structure. It's not that I write well myself, but that a passing or professional screenwriter has to do all of this. The audience has been eating coarse grains for several years, and it is time to eat some fine grains. No matter how many Li ghosts there are, they can't let them become Li Kui.
In the past few years, everyone has watched my speeches and talk shows a lot, all of which are verbal work, and it is time to show everyone the work on their hands. In 2018, there were two works to meet with everyone, one was the current "Decisive Victory", and the other was "New Siege". The works have come to everyone to see, and spring has come to see you in spring. Happy New Year to friends.
