When the TV series "Armageddon" was exposed, Pigo once sent an article to pinch a handful of sweat on Chiang Kai-shek, played by Wang Jinsong.
Because of the temperament, the Chiang Kai-shek played by Zhao Hengduo in the film version of "Armageddon" is too classic, and it is also very similar to Chiang Kai-shek himself.
Wang Jinsong's face is thin, somewhat similar to Chiang Kai-shek's youth.
After watching the "Armageddon" trailer, I was actually relieved, because Wang Jinsong's power is there, the aura is there, and the details are there.
But in the past two days, the release of a drama has made me completely change my view of Wang Jinsong, and letting him play Chiang Kai-shek may be one of the most correct decisions in "Armageddon".
This drama is the recent hit unit TV series "Ideal Shines on China".
In the eighth episode of "Bonfire in the Snow Country" released a few days ago, Wang Jinsong played an "old money" of the Red Army's cooking squad leader.
To tell the truth, this episode of Pigo has been waiting for a long time, because in a short video that has been circulated, Wang Jinsong personally told his experience as an old money.
After starring in the old money, Wang Jinsong submitted an application to the temporary party branch of the crew at that time, which shows that he really integrated himself into the character.
In the episode "Bonfire in the Snow Country", the snowy mountains and the cold are real, and there are no green curtain props. In order to play the role of old money, Wang Jinsong lost 13 pounds of weight, and it was a scene that was really filmed in extreme cold conditions wearing thin clothes.
We see the reactions of the characters in the play who are frozen and shaking their hands, which are all real, in Wang Jinsong's own words: "The cold eyes hurt." ”
"Bonfire in the Snow Country" tells the story of the cooking squad of the 17th Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Red Third Army when the Red Army crossed the Golden Mountain.
When I walked to the bottom of the mountain, I almost lost all my food and drink.
There were 9 people in the cooking class of old money, including 16-year-old children and old Red Army soldiers like him.
In order to keep the soldiers from going hungry, the cooking class has been at the forefront of the line. Not only to find food, to cook for life, in order to eat barley, but also to carry a heavy stone grinding.
In order for the soldiers to eat, almost no one in the cooking class ate. Even the 16-year-old Jelly Bean donated all the food he ate, and claimed: I have sugar.
The procession kept moving forward, and comrades kept falling.
Old money walks in front, and when life is cooked, chai and grass are damp. There was no way, he could only take the cotton out of the cotton coat and use it as firewood.
Since I hadn't eaten for a long time, the jelly beans fell on the road.
The comrade took out his box of candy, which was full of stones.
Knowing that Jelly Bean was sacrificed, old Qian's heart was broken.
No way, in order to save physical strength, the old money did not even dare to be sad.
He could only continue with the other cooks. Along the way, because he was cold and hungry, he fell down with a stone-milled cannon on his back and never got up again.
The snow and wind were about to come, and in order to live in the snowdrift, the old money almost emptied his cotton clothes.
The warriors saw the campfire of the cooking class in the snow and wind, but the old money was already cold and hungry, and his life was in danger.
When the warriors went up to the snowy mountains to roast the fire and drink water, the old money sitting on the stone did not move.
The cooker went up and touched his cotton coat, which was no longer half cotton, and had become a tattered single coat.
The old money eventually fell.
The wind and snow gradually overwhelmed the body of the old money, like a monument.
Until the end, nothing could be seen.
This section is also a real shot, Wang Jinsong's performance, after watching it, it gives people goosebumps.
In the interview, Wang Jinsong said that he had been shaking because the snow covered his body, and his whole body was cold, numb and painful, blocking his nose and even unable to breathe, but he still insisted on finishing the scene.
"I finally finished the scene in my mind where the old money was sacrificed. I hope it is, the closest to the real, the most rustic restoration. ”
It was also after watching this episode that many viewers firmly believed in the idea of chasing "Ideal Shines on China".
From the point of view, "Ideal Shines on China" is like the TV drama version of "My Motherland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me".
If you look closely, you will find that the poster designs of the three film and television works are very similar - stacking "human heads".
This is not only because they are all in the same unit short series format, but also because they all have absolute confidence in the cast.
Although "Ideal Shines on China" only has 40 episodes, each episode is only 25 minutes, but it is destined to be a film and television work that cannot be ignored in 2021.
Look at the lineup, the stars are shining, dazzling,
This may be the longest cast list in the history of Douban, three generations of actors, from traffic to strength, from small flowers to old drama bones, 200 famous actors in the film and television circle participate.
Such a powerful configuration is destined to make "Ideal Shine on China" suitable for all ages.
Middle-aged and elderly people can find the feelings of the past from the play, and young people can see the ideals of the future from it.
Looking at the production again, thousands of people participated in the performance, and the blood cost was laid.
"Ideal Shines on China" has as many as 12 production teams, 14 project teams, 15 independent filming groups, plus 17 directors and 22 screenwriters.
There are 3212 crew members and 6534 extras participating in the show, adding up to more than 10,000 relevant staff members in the whole play.
This is not the most shocking.
Because multiple locations are filmed at the same time, at the same time, different film crews are likely to be distributed in The North of The South China Sea in China.
In 76 days, the crew went from the himalayas with snow all year round, to the warm Taihu Lake, from the Changbai Mountain at more than 20 degrees below zero, to the haikou with a surface temperature of more than 45 degrees, from Hengdian to Dunhuang, from Tianshui to Zhanjiang...
A "Ideal Shines on China", the crew ran through 28 cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shandong, Henan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Haikou, Gansu, Fujian, Yunnan, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jilin and other provinces, autonomous regions and cities.
Shooting a real Chinese story with real footprints, I have to say that "Ideal Shines on China" has done its best for a good drama.
Finally look at the quality, impeccable.
Although it is a small screen short drama, it is not difficult to see from the few episodes currently released that each episode is made according to the standards of the movie.
The first short story, "The Taste of Truth", is full of visual characteristics and lens language unique to film art.
The story itself is actually very simple, telling the story of various national salvation ideas surging up and down before and after the May Fourth Movement, and Chen Wangdao (Jin Dong), who has studied in Japan, was entrusted by Shao Lizi to translate the "Communist Manifesto".
Because this story is not like other TV series, there are fierce contradictions and ups and downs, but the unique charm of the film is exuded between the mirrors.
In terms of color, "The Story of Truth" has a unique texture of the Republic of China period.
Chen Wangdao, who is deep and calm, the extreme river of madness, the juanzi who is bitter in fate, and the shao lizi who is elegant, when the camera sweeps by, we can almost spy the character and fate of the characters.
Narratively, the story does not follow the common narrative method of TV series, but finds interesting points in time and space, and arranges and combines them through flashbacks, laying out, montages, voiceovers and other means, with Chen Wangdao as the center, showing the ins and outs of the whole event.
Artistically, no matter what age the audience is, they can read metaphors and metaphors outside the lens.
Chen Wangdao and Jiang Liu looked at this section across the crowd, one bright and one dark, one calm and one panicked, like the confrontation, exchange, and collision between the old and new intellectuals and the new and old cultures.
Not only the first episode, but every episode is like this, and each episode has the same "Wang Fried Performance" as Wang Jinsong's episode.
The story of "Ideal Shines on China" is actually a theme. There are four themes: the period of revolution, the period of construction, the period of reform, and the period of rejuvenation, spanning nearly 100 years of China's history.
100 years of history, if filmed according to the main drama, it should be a 100-episode epic.
But "Ideal Shines on China" does the opposite, focusing on characters and stories that have little sense of existence in the historical trend, but are vivid and vivid.
Peeking at the whole leopard, it is precisely because of the subtle knowledge of the episode that we ordinary viewers see it in our eyes and feel empathy.
For example, the second episode is a story called "Guardian".
The protagonist of the story is not the martyr Zhang Renya, but his father Zhang Jueqian (Lin Yongjian).
His son Zhang Renya entrusted his old father with a bag of things that he would give to the Communist Party no matter what, because this thing was more important than his own life.
The old man did not hide anything, put the cowshed, put under the pillow, put under the steps, were uneasy, and finally had to build a crown tomb for his son, guarding it in the form of guarding the tomb for many years.
Lin Yongjian portrayed an old father who was painstakingly guarding his son's entrustment into a vivid and vivid way, and entered the wood for three points.
And the sense of emptiness and powerlessness of ordinary people in the big era is also fed back to us through this old father, through the time of spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.
This makes us feel that we are involved in history and that we are part of history.
The third episode, "Lei Lei's Medal", is also the same.
The camera is not aimed at the Olympic champion on the field, but at a very ordinary sparring partner - Liu Leilei.
He told his family that he went to practice judo and participated in the Olympic Games, but in fact he was just an ordinary sparring partner for the national women's judo team.
The daily work is to be dropped, when the human flesh sandbag.
He was also confused when he was bruised, but eventually persevered. The archetypal character of the story, Liu Leilei, has been a sparring partner for 16 years, trained more than 20 Olympic champions, and has been thrown 2.84 million times.
When watching this episode, many bullet screens said: The acting skills are too embarrassing.
In fact, in the play, except for Liu Tianzuo, everyone is an athlete himself, including the protagonist Liu Leilei and the Olympic champion Liu Xia.
You see, "Ideal Shines on China" not only has a small incision and a poisonous perspective, but even the casting has given enough humanistic care under the premise of ensuring basic quality.
An Olympic champion, with the silent efforts of a group of people behind it, pulls these behind-the-scenes heroes into the spotlight, and we can really find the reason why China can get to where it is today.
There are many people who have not left their names in history, and in "Bonfire in snow country", the 9 cooks who died in battle in a row left only nine nicknames.
But they cannot be forgotten because they do not have names.
As the main melody, this is perhaps the most significant function of "Ideal Shines on China": it gives us the opportunity to understand why this country is strong, and it also gives us the opportunity to understand why these people are called heroes.
The general secretary has said: The people are the creators of history, and the people are the real heroes.
Only through such dramas, those sparkling sparks, can show us what is right and what is beautiful, can give us the motivation, courage, emotion and enthusiasm to follow the beliefs that you have personally questioned.
With only 25 minutes per episode, the drama will set a new benchmark for Chinese TV dramas.
