CCTV's 2021 TV drama list is full of big dramas, and the self-made drama "Armageddon" is particularly eye-catching.
TV series "Armageddon"

Shooting the TV drama version of "Armageddon" is a big challenge for CCTV, after all, the film trilogy is in front, after all, no other TV series production unit in China can have such boldness and strength.
Armageddon
The success of the Armageddon film trilogy is almost impossible to replicate.
The first is the scale of production, the strongest production lineup of Bayi Factory, and the full cooperation of the six major military regions to restore the whole picture of the Liberation War one-to-one;
"The Battle of Liaoshen in The Great Armageddon" begins with "The Yellow River Thaws"

Among them, the opening scene of the thawing of the Yellow River appears in the opening of "The Battle of Liaoshen in The Great Armageddon", and according to the director, the film crew spent two years to shoot this scene.
The second is the height of art, the filming of "Armageddon" is the will of the state, because its significance is far from a simple film, it shapes the view of history that profoundly affects the viewer, and the historical grandeur that transcends success or failure cannot be concealed.
In addition, the character portrayal, the whole film does not do too much artistic processing, the viewpoint is not biased, and the main roles of our party and the people are as vivid as possible.
Chairman Mao of Gu Yue, Zhou Enlai of Su Lin, Zhu De of Liu Huaizheng, Liu Shaoqi of Guo Fazeng, Deng Xiaoping of Lu Qi, Lin Biao of Ma Shaoxin, su Yu of Xie Weicai, these roles can not be described as classic.
On the Kuomintang side, the crew also selected the best special actors at that time.
Zhao Hengduo
Zhao Hengduo, who plays Chiang Kai-shek, resembles Chiang Kai-shek in terms of appearance and body shape, and more importantly, Zhao Hengduo has had a military life, thus performing Chiang Kai-shek's military temperament.
Wu Zhiyuan
The actor who played Song Meiling is said to have changed more than twenty times, and finally chose Wu Zhiyuan, who was more suitable in temperament and appearance.
Huang Baitao of Xu Huanshan
In addition, Huang Baitao of Xu Huanshan, Huang Wei of Guo Bichuan, He Yingqin of Chen Xuegang, Gu Zhutong of Lu Fei, Liu Yalou of Zhang Weiguo, Wei Lihuang of Lu Xuegong, Du Yuming of Xu Zhengyun, Liao Yaoxiang of Zhou Zhiyu, Fu Zuoyi of Li Dingbao, Chen Changjie of Xu Guangming, and Liu Zhi of Jin Shitao all seem to have been copied from historical albums.
The meticulous casting of the main roles of the Kuomintang is an important foundation for the success of the film version of "Armageddon", and the exquisite portrayal of the internal contradictions of the national army and the national degree is unprecedented.
Taking Du Yuming, played by Xu Zhengyun, as an example, "Armageddon" portrays his experience deeply enough.
Du Yuming
In "The Battle of Liaoshen", Liao Yaoxiang was beaten into a dog by Dongye in Montenegro, and Du Yuming watched dongye's 500,000 troops rushing from all directions to "collect people's heads" on the plane, and the portrayal of that desperate character is really unprecedented and has never been seen before.
In the "Battle of Huaihai", when Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to abandon Xuzhou, Du Yuming's dissatisfaction was also portrayed very well, and in the face of the sudden airborne micro-exercise, Du Yuming's helplessness made the bystanders who were in the opposite camp feel painful.
In the end, Du Yuming was captured by the People's Liberation Army, and the movie "Armageddon" was very polite and did not give Du Yuming a shot of being captured.
Li Dingbao plays Fu Zuoyi
In "The Battle of Pingjin", the portrayal of Fu Zuoyi's life turning point is more perfect, as the male number one in the "Pingjin Battle", Fu Zuoyi's role has an ups and downs in his mood, from being beaten chicken blood to being hollowed out, and actor Li Dingbao portrays such psychological changes very carefully.
In addition, the main creator spares no expense to restore the shocking scene of the national army marching, and strictly follows the law of film and television creation.
The Battle of Liaoshen in Armageddon
In "The Battle of Liaoshen in The Great Armageddon", Liao Yaoxiang's Montenegrin march, high-altitude aircraft flying by, armored vehicles driving by the ground and vast soldiers, the majestic momentum is simply incomparable to today's war films.
In "The Battle of Huaihai", Huang Wei's 12th Corps specialized in marching quality, infantry, riding, vehicles, artillery, and Tank, and the speed of travel per unit area were different, but they were unimpeded in a limited space, and such a portrayal also reflected the hardships of the Huaihai Campaign and the bravery and good fighting of our army.
In "The Battle of Pingjin", the director showed the mechanization of the equipment of the 35th Army, and the trucks were like a long dragon.
Objectively speaking, the whole drama somewhat exaggerates the basic combat effectiveness of the national army, but the description of the combat effectiveness of our army is also shocking.
▲ "Shelling Jinzhou" in "The Battle of Liaoshen in The Great Armageddon"
In particular, in the shocking scene of "a thousand cannons shelling Jinzhou" in the "Battle of Liaoshen in The Great Armageddon", the artillery tactical level of Siye also reached a very high level, aiming at all the key targets of the Kuomintang defenders in Jinzhou City, destroying the enemy's fortifications and in-depth military facilities with heavy artillery, and showing the extremely high tactical quality of our army in the Liberation War.
In general, one of the important reasons for the success of the film version of "Armageddon" is the large-scale and extremely meticulous portrayal of the Nationalist army and the Kuomintang generals, which also sets off the momentum of our army and our party in the period of the Liberation War, which is very worthy of reference in the TV drama version of "Armageddon".
