In order to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the birth of the great man, a historic revolutionary TV series entitled "Ask the Boundless" began on December 12 ** "This Peace of Mind is My Hometown" and was officially launched on CCTV.
Yang Ma is undoubtedly outstanding in the category of revolutionary historical dramas, whether it is "The Long March", "The Awakening Age" or "The Great Battle", they have brought unexpected surprises to the audience.
At present, the new work "Ask the Boundless" has received a lot of attention, not only did it receive a 23-second special recommendation on "News Network", but also the ratings exceeded 17. It showed a strong momentum.
An innovative historical storyline.
The story of "Ask the Boundless" is set between 1921 and 1927, which happens to be a period of seven years of change and grandeur in Chinese history.
Although historical dramas and movies all depict Comrade Mao's experiences during this period, in fact the number of such film and television works is extremely limited.
The TV series "Ask the Boundless" accurately captures this historical moment and is committed to showing the audience some historical details that refresh people's cognition.
The story focuses on a great man who has undergone a transformation from a league member, a party member, to a founder of the workers' movement in the last seven years.
Starting with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, to the resolute struggle against the Kuomintang, and finally going into the farmland, he used his own pace to explore the key role played by the peasants in the Chinese revolution.
This drama focuses on the core issue of "asking the vast earth, who is the master of the ups and downs", and delves into how great figures clearly understand the actual situation of the revolution in the complex historical and military background.
In the course of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the workers' and peasants' armed revolutionary tactics suited to China's actual conditions were gradually explored.
This drama delves into the grand historical background, shows the career of the young Comrade Mao when he served in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party from a macro perspective, and describes how he was elected as a leader under the leadership of the party, history and the people.
In addition, the series also attaches great importance to the description of subtleties, and firmly grasps every little story and subtlety, giving the whole show a unique appeal.
For example, in this series, the reasons behind the fact that Comrade Mao and Yang Kaihui did not take a group photo, and the origin of Chen Duxiu's name as an "old man", are all very infectious story details.
Blending grand historical context with specific details, Ask the Vast showcases its unique appeal through a compelling personal story.
In the work "Asking the Boundless", we can expect a large number of historical details that we may not know or understand, which will undoubtedly present the audience with a more attractive historical picture of the Chinese revolution.
From a certain point of view, "Ask the Boundless" seems to be on the starting line, and the grand history and fascinating details it narrates are full of expectations.
It's a team built with heart.
The director of the TV series "Ask the Boundless" is Wang Wei, although the mention of the name director may not be particularly sensitive, but once his works are mentioned, I believe everyone will have heard of it.
In recent years, director Wang Wei has gradually emerged in the online drama industry, whether it is the suspense movie "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" or "Hidden and Great", their popularity and reputation can be described by the word "explosive".
In these two TV series, he successfully broke through the traditional framework of the genre and showed unique insights in terms of plot design and character personality. I believe that in the upcoming "Ask the Boundless", he will also express his gratitude to the audience with an excellent performance.
Not only is the director of this drama talented, but the quality of its script is also well guaranteed.
Chen Jin, an authority on the study of party history, is the main screenwriter of this large-scale television documentary "**", and he has an in-depth understanding of the details of history.
Leung Chun-wah, the screenwriter, has a wealth of experience in the creation of scripts for the main play, and his talent is unquestionable. When these two screenwriters collaborated on a script, their reliability was unquestionable.
In addition, for historical TV dramas, ensuring that the audience can get a real experience in the process is a key factor in its success. In order to make the most of this, the production team put in a lot of effort and time.
First of all, in terms of restoring the historical tone, the staff consulted more than 50 million words of historical materials, held discussions with party history experts many times, and conducted nearly 1,000 hours of script meetings.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the scene, the crew restored the residence of ***, and when filming some specific scenes, it was accurately positioned according to the location of the historical **, in order to pursue the highest precision of historical restoration.
The play contains 761 different scenes, as well as nearly 10,000 costumes and 54,000 props, all of which have been reproduced and restored according to history.
Next, in order to present the historical landscape of that era in more depth, the creative team began to prepare for it in 2021 and organized three field trips at the end of the year.
I visited a number of cities, including Changsha, Shaoshan, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Wuhan, in order to find the most suitable tourist attractions for the local characteristics.
Without putting so much effort, it is impossible to produce high-quality work.
The hardware configuration of the actors is very strict.
Once the foundation was completed, the next task was to observe how the actors "built the tall building".
This time, in the work "Ask the Boundless", although the actors did not give up the core position of senior actors, they also provided opportunities for many young actors to show their talents.
In this drama, the great characters are undoubtedly the central characters, so let's focus first on the actors who play the leading roles.
From ancient times to the present, Gu Yue and Tang Guoqiang are undoubtedly the most memorable actors in *** roles.
Not only do they have a seven-point resemblance to great characters in appearance, but they can also show their unique temperament through their excellent performances.
However, due to age constraints, these two actors can only play great people after middle age, so actors who play great people in their youth need to find new ideas and inspiration.
Among this group of emerging actors, Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun are undoubtedly the actors of the high-profile new generation of chairmen.
This time, Wang Renjun shouldered the great responsibility of playing the role of a young great man.
Considering Wang Chuanjun's outstanding performances in TV series such as "Xiangmi" and "Do You Know", his acting skills should be beyond doubt.
Moreover, this is not the first time Wang Chuanjun has tried to play the role of a great man. In the movie "Gutian Army", Wang Chuanjun successfully passed the director's selection in just ten minutes, but unfortunately, his performance at that time was still a little immature.
Despite this, Wang Renjun, as an actor, has never forgotten his responsibilities and believes that it is necessary to make up for his shortcomings.
After unremitting efforts, Wang Renjun gradually found the core emotion of the character, and his performance has become smoother, and I believe that his performance in the work "Ask the Boundless" will definitely be very good.
Next, we want to introduce two senior drama actors, namely Ning Li, who plays Chen Duxiu, and Ma Shaohua, who plays Zhongshan Mountain.
Ning Li is an actor who has earned a reputation in the film and television industry for his extensive stage experience and excellent acting skills. Although his most popular work is Undocumented Crime, his acting skills are not limited to playing villain roles.
In both works, "The Silent Truth" and "Police Honor", he succeeded in portraying a positive character.
Especially in the work "Police Honor", the old policeman Chen Xincheng has won wide resonance from the audience because of his rich life experience and enthusiastic inner emotions.
In recent years, Ning Li's fame has gradually risen, and his role in "The Wandering Earth 2" has become particularly crucial, and in the work "Under the Prosperous City", his acting skills have deeply moved the audience.
For the role of Chen Duxiu, Ning Li, as a powerful actor, is fully capable of bringing a unique interpretation to the audience.
Ma Shaohua is an experienced drama master who has experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, and has successfully portrayed many classic roles.
In many TV series with red themes and historical themes, he has successfully created a number of memorable characters, and has won high praise and recognition from the audience.
In the movie "Ask the Boundless", he will play the role of Sun Yat-sen, a national leader with far-reaching historical influence. I am confident that with his excellent performance and profound interpretation, the audience will be able to gain a deeper understanding of this historical period.
In addition to the experienced veteran actors, the show also has the participation of many young and middle-aged actors, adding more color to it.
The first thing to say is Song Jia, she has always shown a very high level of acting skills.
This time, in the work "Ask the Boundless", she left an unforgettable impression on the audience with her solemn and elegant image.
No matter what role Song Jia plays, she can interpret it brilliantly, which makes people full of expectations for her interpretation in the play.
Zheng Yecheng, who played the young *** As a potential male actor, he is not only eye-catching in appearance, but also widely recognized for his strength.
Although he has participated in many costume dramas, in recent years, he has gradually entered the field of dramas, such as the CCTV drama "Wishing You Ten Thousand Lights".
In the TV series "Ask the Boundless", he successfully created the role of a young man, whose unique shape and military temperament are impressive, as an actor with a martial arts background, he does have a certain superiority in image and temperament.
As an actor in the young age, he will undoubtedly also show remarkable acting skills.
In addition, the 36-year-old Cai Hesen played by Wei Daxun, Qu Qiubai portrayed by Niu Junfeng, and Song Meiling portrayed by Jiang Mengjie are all full of expectations.
However, Lao Jiang's casting in the play has caused some people to worry, because the role is played by Bai Ke, and everyone knows that Bai Ke appears as a comedian.
When he was younger, his role in the comedy film "The Last Resort" made a great impression, and most of the audience still considers him a comedian. But this time, he suddenly played the role of a serious old Jiang, which will undoubtedly make the audience feel a little uncomfortable.
In addition, his appearance does not have much to do with his domineering image, and Lao Jiang looked quite handsome when he was young, which obviously does not match the image of Bai Ke.
In terms of acting skills, Bai Ke's performance is not particularly outstanding, which undoubtedly brings him a huge challenge. It is uncertain whether he will be able to successfully portray the character, which is undoubtedly cause for concern.
