In 1940, the "Zhenhai Victory" that occurred in the coastal area of eastern Zhejiang was a major victory won by the Chinese during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was known as the "Battle of Taierzhuang in Eastern Zhejiang". The large-scale revolutionary war-themed TV series "Weicheng" presents the communist anti-Japanese forces in eastern Zhejiang on the screen for the first time, aiming at the Ningbo Outer Port Zhenhai, known as the "gateway to eastern Zhejiang and the throat of the Yongjiang River", and showing the magnificent history of the Chinese people uniting to resist the Wokou under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The show is about to air.
A good film and television drama with revolutionary historical themes should be a work that can withstand the people's evaluation and market test, and a work that can truly penetrate into the people's spiritual world and resonate with the people's thinking. The large-scale revolutionary war-themed TV series "Weicheng" aims to meet the realistic needs of the audience to appreciate the revolutionary historical drama with its innovation, authenticity and differences, and then help them understand the historical truth, seek a sense of national identity and enhance cultural self-confidence, guide the people to remember the great history forged by blood and life, and present a gift for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Dig deep into the magnificent history of the revolution
Freeze frame real historical picture
The "July 17" Zhenhai Defense War, from the landing on July 17, 1940 to july 22, 1940, the Japanese army collapsed to the sea, a total of five days and five nights, the town guards and the Japanese army launched a heroic and tragic defense war. The TV series "Weicheng" takes the "Zhenhai Defense War" and the Ningbo Germ Warfare as the historical background, and describes the story of the communist party member "Xiao Han" who returned to his hometown Wanghai on the orders of his superiors to lead the masses to resist Japan together, and established and strengthened the anti-Japanese base area in eastern Zhejiang under the increasingly severe situation of the Anti-Japanese War in eastern Zhejiang in 1940.
(Historical reference)
In addition to the re-creation of historical events, the crew also referred to a large number of historical materials and materials, and almost restored the costumes, shapes, props and scenes of the era at that time. The crew found six reports published in the Xinhua Daily in July 1940 at the Ningbo Municipal Archives, repeatedly studied the photos and materials of the time, carefully pondered the scenes described, and drew on the history frozen in the newspaper to reproduce the scenes and costumes in a 1:1 reproduction. Similarly, according to reliable historical records, around the 1940s, the Japanese army bombarded fishing boats and coastal villages with machine guns, leaving behind video records showing destroyed ships, houses, and people who were stabbed, etc., which are all reflected in the play. Some specific objects, such as guerrilla buckets, maps, bank checks, good people's certificates, and even the words on the Japanese military flag, are also carefully crafted according to historical details, aiming to let the audience have an "immersive" viewing experience, reflecting the full sincerity of the crew.
Respect for art pays homage to heroes
Ingenuity does not live up to the mission
The main creative team of "Weicheng" insists on artistic creation with ingenuity and perseverance. Before filming, the main creators of "Weicheng" went to Ningbo 7 times to survey the scenery, visited and inspected many scenic spots including Zhaobao Mountain, Zheng's Seventeen Houses, Siming Mountain, Zhenhai Wharf, Cicheng Ancient Town, Houhaitang, Mashan Wetland, Port Museum, Haiphong Museum, Tianyi Pavilion and so on.
As a local film and television work in Ningbo, "Weicheng" has been closely focused on by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee, and the crew has communicated with the Propaganda Department of the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and the Propaganda Department of the Zhenhai District Party Committee for many times to reach in-depth cooperation. At the same time, the coordination meeting of the Propaganda Department of the Zhenhai District Party Committee and the script seminar were held before the start of filming, and in-depth exchanges were held on the theme, content, role, connotation and value of the play.
Ingenuity creates a fine product. The crew of "Weicheng" will contain the characteristics in the details and put sincerity into the story, reflecting its respect for history, understanding history, studying history, reproducing history, and truly sinking down to excavate and display the ideological connotation and artistic value that the revolutionary historical drama itself should have, highlighting its positive energy spirit as a literary and artistic creator, actively responding to the call of the state, and not shouldering the mission.
"Outstanding literary and artistic works reflect the cultural creativity and level of a country and a nation." The creation of "Weicheng" abandons the impetuous mentality of putting commercial interests first, so that the national spirit and the heroic feats that move the world in excellent TV dramas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and do not live up to history, the times, and the audience.
