It has to go beyond the previous period drama.
It is the drama of the year directed by Ghosh.
It is a military-themed TV series, but its protagonist is no longer a reckless hero.
Following "The Sky of History", director Gao Xixi once again tried to revolutionize the historical theme of the TV series, changing Yan Yan's novel "Leaving Traces of The Day" to "Glorious Years" and putting it on the screen. At present, he is leading Chen Jianbin, Shao Feng, Zhu Yuanyuan, Huang Haibo, Wang Yuanke and other actors to fight in Taigu County, Shanxi Province, and other places, and will struggle until June.
"It must be the son this time. How good it is to have a son, and when he grows up in the future, he can become a scientist," Chen Jianbin, who had just been happy with your son, said solemnly to Zhu Yuanyuan, who was next to him, "I passed on all my books to my son." "This is a scene from the annual drama 'Glorious Years'. On the wasteland full of dry grass, Chen Jianbin and Zhu Yuanyuan, both dressed in brand new Eighth Route Army uniforms, slowly walked hand in hand, happily discussing whether the crystallization of their love was a boy or a girl, not far away, Gao Xixi in front of the monitor stared at the screen with ease, while constantly throwing melon seeds into his mouth...
A creative collective that transcends itself
"It is a MILITARY-themed TV series, but unlike the previous "The Sky of History", "The Years of Burning Passion", and "Bright Sword", its protagonist is no longer a reckless hero, but a revolutionary with a firm belief from the beginning." During the visit, the famous director Gao Xixi, who was filming intensively in Qi County, Shanxi Province, commented on his latest work. Apparently, he has a lot of confidence in this TV series adapted from the novel "Leaving Traces in the Past Day". Talking about his expectations for this play, he said, "This is the largest span of period drama I have ever taken on, and I hope it can surpass all my previous works." ”
In the past two years, many works familiar to the audience have appeared on the TV screen, such as "Ten Years of Marriage", "The Sky of History", "Hitchhiking", "Happiness Like a Flower", etc., and these works are all written by director Ghosh. His works are simple and unpretentious, touching the audience with true feelings, so that more and more audiences begin to know him and love him. The protagonists of this "Glorious Years" are intellectuals who have devoted themselves to the revolution, mainly depicting the story of a revolutionary couple who have lived together for half a century.
A protagonist who is different from before
When the author arrived on the set, the crew was filming such a set of shots: Yuan Zhihao, a senior general of the People's Liberation Army played by the male protagonist Chen Jianbin, was leading the family - the wife of the heroine Zhu Yuanyuan, Bai Xiangming, planted trees with three children, he insisted on not letting the guards next to him help, carefully taking care of his sick wife and young children, but constantly urging them to work hard and strive to complete the tree planting work as soon as possible. The time of this play is very short, and the actor's role is not much, but Gao Xixi said that Yuan Zhihao is a self-conscious revolutionary, from the beginning of participating in the revolution, he strictly followed his own beliefs, very consciously and conscientiously completed every detail of himself, and planting trees is a typical example of his behavior.
"Like "The Sky of History," "The Years of Burning Passion," and the recent hit "Bright Sword," the protagonists are all reckless heroes, and the drama tells the process of self-improvement of unconscious revolutionaries, while Yuan Zhihao and Bai Xiangming are both conscious revolutionaries from the moment they enter the revolutionary ranks, they are very radical and avant-garde students, and they resolutely and resolutely participate in the revolution at the time of the nation's crisis." Speaking of the difference between "Glorious Years" and the same type of TV series, Ghosh said: "They have died nine times in their lives without regret, they have never wavered, even if there are such and such difficulties, even the best comrades-in-arms have wavered and withdrawn." And not only during the revolutionary war, but also in the peacetime, even during the persecution of the Cultural Revolution, their faith never wavered. ”
A highly anticipated starring duo
As early as a few years ago, Gao Xixi and Chen Jianbin had cooperated in the TV series "Ten Years of Marriage", and for this reunion, Gao Xixi said that it was because he believed that Chen Jianbin could play the protagonist as a different kind, a man with a unique personality and a unique destiny, rather than a popular face-style revolutionary. For example, he said: "Chen Jianbin read a lot of books to find the protagonist's difference in clothing, through the revolutionaries of that era rarely wore tweed coats, duck-tongue hats, very distinctive shoes and other props, to emphasize the uniqueness of the protagonist in temperament." He talked to me about the photo of Ye Ting and Xiang Ying, saying that Yuan Zhihao had Ye Ting's shadow on him. ”
For Zhu Yuanyuan, who cooperated for the first time, Gao Xixi said that this was due to the fate of cooperation. Zhu Yuanyuan's performance made him very satisfied: "She almost immediately 'digested' the role she played, and it was digested one by one." ”
"Rock Girl" Wang Yuan can be described as a continuous piece of contract. In Guo Jingyu's new drama "Chase", she starred in the image of a beautiful and capable policewoman. At present, she plays Huang Haibo's lover, a beautiful and brave underground anti-Japanese female agent in "Glorious Years", and the role played by Zhu Yuanyuan and calls the "White Lotus" and "Red Xia" that make the Japanese and traitors feel frightened.
Wang Yuanke's role in "Glorious Years" is somewhat similar to that of idealistic revolutionary heroes such as Liu Hulan and Jiang Jie, who are as beautiful and generous as they are willing to give everything for the cause of revolutionary anti-Japanese resistance. The difference is that this Yuan Jing is an intellectual, but he is bent on killing the enemy and serving the country, and he has special skills and accurate marksmanship. Wang Yuanke frankly said that this role made her feel a lot, and she has been deeply immersed in the world of the characters, breathing with the characters and sharing the fate, just like before, so that people and dramas are not distinguished.
