On July 15, the TV series "Beacon Fire Resistance" was confirmed, and it will land on Yangba from July 20, and three episodes will be broadcast every night. Starring Zhang Su, Li Jinming and other actors, the drama is about the content of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University from its establishment to how to manage it during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Among the works, there are many anti-Japanese contents, so they are very popular with some audiences.
Earlier, this TV series was broadcast on some terrestrial channels under the name of "Beacon War". However, because the audience of the terrestrial channel is relatively small, the show did not form much attention when it was broadcast. This time, the "Beacon Fire Resistance" that was fixed for Yang Viii is exactly the name of this "Beacon War" renamed. Every year, there are indeed some TV drama works that first seek to be broadcast on terrestrial channels, and later, they seek to be broadcast nationwide on star channels.
This "Beacon Resistance" is relatively conservative in terms of cast. Zhang Su and Li Jinming and other starring actors belong to the young actors in the growth stage. Li Jinming once left an impression on the audience with the "Love Apartment" series of TV series. However, the actress has been in a state of no fire. Therefore, from the perspective of the main cast configuration, the production cost of this TV series is relatively low.
Many anti-Japanese film and television drama works will seek to be broadcast on terrestrial channels under the condition that the cast is relatively general. Because the cast is relatively average, the production cost will not be too high, especially not too much on the remuneration of the male and female protagonists. Therefore, in many anti-Japanese TV dramas, the plot itself is the most important point of view, and the importance of who the main actor is is relatively low. Anti-war dramas such as "Beacon War" (now known as "Beacon Fire Resistance") are still relatively ideal for broadcast on terrestrial channels. This type of drama has a fixed audience.
This time, the drama landed on the CCTV TV drama channel, which can obviously get better market returns. Up to now, no genuine video platform has announced that the drama will be launched at the same time as the CCTV TV drama channel. If there are no accidents, this TV series will sell its own copyright very quietly, and in the playback results of several genuine video platforms, "no competition".
Although the online broadcast results of "Beacon Fire Resistance" are not optimistic, the ratings of this TV series may be very good and should not be underestimated. The main reason is that in recent years, there have not been many works that can be starred in tv dramas with anti-Japanese themes. TV dramas with a clear anti-Japanese flavor such as "Beacon Fire And Resistance" may attract many middle-aged and elderly audiences. And the state that the CCTV DRAMA channel starts on time at 7:30 every night is also just right for the schedule (exposed age) of our middle-aged and elderly audiences.
At present, this TV series can already see the plot content of each episode on some information platforms. However, these plot contents are the content of the earlier broadcast on the terrestrial channel. The broadcast version of the CCTV TV drama channel is 32 episodes, and on the basis of the 50 episodes of the original drama, a large-scale editing process has been done. In the CCTV version, the narrative rhythm is more bright, the bits and pieces are more streamlined, and the theme expression is more complete. We may wish to peek at the leopard through a plot synopsis:
Beiping young student Gao Ge (played by Zhang Su) risked his life and traveled thousands of miles with Peking University professor Sun Zhenya to defect to Kang Da, and happened to be with formal students Shi Erzhu and Geng Dadao, and the three of them formed a deep friendship in their common life and battle.
The enthusiastic young people represented by Gao Ge, Chen Xiaowan, and Liang Tingting (played by Li Jinming) have gone from being unsuitable to adapting, from being students to being teachers, and have withstood the test of complicated struggles with the Japanese devils who have mixed into the anti-japanese university; especially in the process of running schools behind enemy lines, in the face of the encirclement, blockade, sneak attack, and difficult living environment of the Japanese devils, they have firm faith, take into account the overall situation, unite and cooperate, have the courage to sacrifice, and learn from war, which not only smashes the enemy's various sabotage attempts, but also improves their organizational and command capabilities.
Obviously, this TV series will tell the historical content of Kang Da from the perspective of teachers and students. Especially in the course of running schools behind enemy lines, how to fight wits and courage with the Japanese. These contents have a good appeal for some elderly audiences.
The director of "Beacon Fire Resistance" is Cai Shunan, who has worked as a cinematographer in many well-known TV drama works. Interestingly, our most well-known director, Zhang Yimou, was also a photographer. In terms of camera scheduling, "Beacon Resistance" is obviously worth looking forward to, and director Cai Shunan should be able to bring you a lot of surprises. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
