On the evening of December 12, the TV series "Ask the Boundless" was broadcast on CCTV. Based on the content of the current two episodes, this TV series can basically be regarded as a "sequel" to the narrative timeline of "The Awakening Age", telling a story after a big day. Of course, in terms of narrative style, there are still differences between this "Ask the Boundless" and "The Awakening Age". For example, when you take the aura of "Awakening Age" to watch Mr. Chen Duxiu in "Ask the Boundless", you will feel that something is different.
In "Asking the Boundless", Mr. Chen Duxiu is presented as more life-like. For example, the dialogue with Comrade Ma Lin is to smoke while watching a play, and at the same time use drama to talk about things. This way of expression is the peace of life. Including Mr. Chen Duxiu, after being released from prison for the third time, he sat down to eat "steamed noodles" and ate noodles while listening to the report. Later, Comrade Marin arrived, and the two drank together and negotiated a bigger matter. It's all a narrative of life.
This kind of life-like narrative is not very dare to be used in previous movies and TV series, but is often preferred in ** works. For example, in a certain theatrical film work, when Mr. Chen Duxiu and Mr. Li Dazhao talked about the current situation, they were also eating hot pot, but this scene focused on Mr. Chen Duxiu adding charcoal to the big copper pot, and the fire was everywhere. Film and television drama works like to grasp the "firelight" of this moment.
The TV series "Ask the Boundless" does not pay much attention to grasping these "moments", but is more willing to deal with the details into life. Including in the first episode, the family was eating, and my sister hadn't come yet, and everyone said, don't wait, only *** insists on waiting. From the perspective of script and shooting, this scene is actually very "flat", especially the follow-up baton scene, which is not easy to make waves. However, the biggest advantage of life shooting is that it can bring a greater sense of realism.
Among the first two episodes of "Ask the Boundless", the biggest plot should be *** and his comrades to run a university in Changsha, Hunan, and organize a workers' movement. In the course of this organization, Comrade ** was confronted with the question of whether he really understood the working class. ** The conversation with two other workers' representatives pushed the TV series to a better place - Anyuan Coal Mine.
If before the big plot of Anyuan Coal Mine, "Ask the Boundless" was still a relatively life-oriented narrative, then after the Anyuan Coal Mine, this TV series officially entered the high-energy stage of narrative emotion. The bridge section of this Anyuan coal mine is worth reviewing.
The child drove the donkey cart and walked on the mountain road to the Anyuan Coal Mine with ***. There was some conversation around the issue of eating. This is actually a side show of the fate of coal miners. Next, the donkey cart enters the town. The child said not to look at the people on the side of the road, because they are all ghosts. It's a clever suspense handling. A group of people with heads and faces in the coal mine gave *** a pick-up, which is the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat.
**Go down the mine with your children and see the real coal miners' living conditions. This is the play entering a really serious state of realism. The kid goes to light the dynamite, which is a tragic glimpse of the character's fate. After leaving the mine, washing the feet in the footbath is the detail. The train crashes and kills, everyone surrounds, and the haunting is resolved, which is one of the climaxes of this passage. This place, with a line, is very powerful.
Some people say that before the orphans and widows were killed, the men had already died in the coal mines, and they were rumored to be ghosts, because they were worried that everyone would contact them and sympathize with their tragic fate. At this time, Comrade ** has a sentence that brings up all the feelings of the first two episodes of "Ask the Boundless" - they are not ghosts, and those who spread rumors that they are ghosts are the real devils.
This "Ask the Boundless", so far, you can really like it. Why?Because of the TV dramas with major revolutionary historical themes, it is a basic requirement to retell history. And to talk about it again, you need to face the problem of narrative background. What kind of background and what kind of feelings are the key to the success or failure of the TV series. Du Fu has poetry clouds, tens of millions of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy.
Film and television dramas must be of high quality, and they must be the background color of this "Ande Guangsha", without him. If so, I hope you will correct me. In "Asking the Boundless", a big plot is used to show the living conditions of the coal miners in Anyuan. This undertone is revealed. At this point, the TV series has actually quietly raised the question: how can these proletarians live a good life in peace and contentment?
At this point, Comrade ** came to the Anyuan coal miners, and suddenly made the background of this TV series clear. The next story is really targeted, that is, to answer the question "how". Therefore, the drama of Anyuan Coal Mine is the finishing touch of "Ask the Boundless". (Wen Ma Qingyun).
