"The carp roe opened its mouth when it drank water. ”
The old trumpet opened the boat and ran away. ”
Crucian carp roe jumps and carp roe swim. ”
Go down with a net and make a living. ”
On the vast Dongting Lake, the Shaoshan mountain song of the boat family sounded. The long and high tune, with a tenacity in the voice that is not afraid of hardship, tiredness, and not compromising with fate.
At this moment, the waves of the Xiangjiang River crashed on the shore, and a young man came to have a boat that he had not taken, his clothes were put in the boat, and the people were swimming in the water.
Good swimming is not fun". It was 1921, and the water of history had moved forward for another 28 years, and he was going to announce the founding of New China.
Of course, **
After reading the beginning, I felt a lot of emotion!
The beautiful scenery of Shaoshan Mountain Song and Dongting, as well as the young man who just came back from attending the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China and traveled all over the world with the question of the Chinese revolution and the future destiny of the country and the nation
This opening line got me into the play in a second.
It is precisely these dozens of seconds of shooting that have laid a strong tone for the show, and when these shots are completed, I understand that this "Ask the Boundless" is definitely not inferior.
Yes, that is, last night, another revolutionary historical drama was broadcast on CCTV in a ** time slot.
In fact, no matter which play, Yang Ma can also play new tricks.
It is difficult for period dramas to have hits, and as soon as "The World" comes out, it will be a kind of fire.
The poverty alleviation drama Satellite TV hurts to watch, and Yang Ma was stunned to rely on "Daughter of the Mountain" and "Mountains and Seas" to make a comeback.
The door was welded to death early in the sci-fi drama Yang Ma, who directly opened the door in "The Three-Body Problem" at the beginning of this year.
But who is the one with the most "stable" quality, from "The Long March", "Awakening Age", revolutionary historical dramas, etc., Yang Ma has never missed.
However, revolutionary historical dramas have gradually developed a certain paradigm in recent years.
Yang Ma can also play new tricks, doesn't she?
This large-scale revolutionary historical TV series "Ask the Boundless" launched by the State Administration of Radio and Television to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the birth of *** may become the latest response at the end of 2023.
Lineup, portions.
screenwriter, former deputy director of the ** Literature Research Office of the Communist Party of China Chen Jin + screenwriter Liang Zhenhua of the TV series "Ideal Shines on China".
Director: Wang Wei. actors, there are Wang Renjun, Jiaze, Ning Li, Bai Ke, Tang Zeng, Wu Xingjian, Zhang Xiaolong, Wei Daxun, Jiao Junyan, Niu Junfeng, Zheng Yecheng, Ma Shaohua, Song Jia and dozens of other powerful actors.
The news network was launched strongly.
The premiere ratings ranked 3rd in the country. The ratings for the first two episodes were as high as 13779%。
What's that drama again?
How is it different from previous revolutionary historical dramas?
After watching two episodes, I have seen a new path of revolutionary historical dramas in "Ask the Boundless".
01, big history, small details, and detailed plots fill the gap of the "small" narrative of the revolutionary "big" drama.
"Ask the Boundless" is a feature film that reproduces the young *** historical drama, which took place from 1921 to 1927.
In terms of time, it happened to come right on the heels of "The Age of Awakening".
The past eight years have been turbulent and turbulent for China.
Shortly after the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, Sun Yat-sen was still planning the Northern Expedition and promoting the first KMT-CCP cooperation. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1925, the situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party took a sharp turn for the worse.
At this time, it was not far from September 18, 1931, when the Japanese army took advantage of the Wicker Lake Incident to launch the "918" incident and began to invade the three eastern provinces.
These major historical events formed the background for the creation of "Ask the Boundless".
This is all that a general viewer can know in a textbook.
Since the name of "Ask the Boundless", these "big" words are inevitable.
In other programs, they often follow the "old way" of using the timeline to promote the development of the plot to show the macro "big", but ignore the specific "small".
But "Ask the Boundless" is different.
The whole drama focuses on the big picture, starts small, and starts small, and makes up for the "small" words we don't know through small contexts, detailed and substantial details.
But if it is not based on the narrative of historical events, how can the story be laid out?
The answer is very simple, to shape an era, you should aim at the heart that shines like stars at night.
In addition to the young ***, "Ask the Boundless" also selected Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and Sun Yat-sen, including Chiang Kai-shek.
No matter how grand an epic is, it is made up of concrete things and living people. The grasp point in the last two episodes is the historical situation of China in the vast land in 1921.
Judging from the plot description of the first two episodes, it is basically divided into three major films.
The first is that the young *** returned to Hunan to run schools, unite laborers, and establish party branches.
Historically, the Hunan branch of the Communist Party of China was founded in October 1921 in Changsha and was the first provincial-level party branch in China.
The party members of the branch are He Shuheng, Yi Lirong, and Chen Zibo.
But how exactly did the branch be established, and what problems did it encounter?How did the youth solve this problem, and what were Chen Duxiu's reactions and work requirements when he received this information?
The audience doesn't know anything about it.
Although the sparrow is small, it is necessary to start the construction and development of the Hunan branch in poverty.
Standing in the position of this young audience, it is convincing to start a business
The second is that Chen Duxiu and Comintern representative Marin led the Communist Party of China in the initial work of its founding.
I was not used to watching He Wei before, and Chen Duxiu, played by Wang Zhifei and Li Naiwen, was also afraid that Ning Li would not act well.
It turned out that Ning Lishang's first scene convinced me to act.
Director Wang Wei's scene is really good.
According to the audience's assumptions, the meeting between Chen Duxiu, the leader of the time, and Marin, a representative of the Comintern, should be a secret in any case.
As a result, the long camera slowly panned across the stage, aiming at the figure of a scholar, Chen Duxiu was eating melon seeds and listening to the play, "In order to save Li Lang from home, who would have thought that the emperor would be on the top spot" Huangmei Opera's masterpiece "The Female Horse".
Li Lin sat next to Chen Duxiu with helplessness on his face, urging him to quickly accept his opinions, funds and "guidance".
Ning Li's dialogue in a few sentences vividly showed the arrogance and stubbornness in Chen Duxiu's heart.
You discuss big things with me, and I discuss with you three ways for the opera troupe to get along with the master: one is to pay for the master to teach. The second is to be on call when entering the department.
The third is to sign the deed of sale.
Since it's a meal to eat **, then let me beat and scold, even if you learn art, you will go out of the mountain for three years, and all your income will be handed over to **.
As soon as the conversation changed, Marin became angry.
But as soon as he turned around, Chen Duxiu was arrested by the Beiyang warlords and imprisoned, and he was the one who invited a lawyer to rescue him.
On the surface, it's nothing more than an episode in the listening play.
But it's essentially the rich and wondrous details behind history.
In the end, Chen Duxiu and Ma Lin resolved their differences with a bottle of Volga and two bowls of meat noodles, no spoilers, just leave it to you to see for yourself.
The third piece is Sun Yat-sen's planning of the Northern Expedition, which is difficult to make a choice with Chiang Kai-shek.
As soon as the camera turned, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who had been in charge of a large ** in Guangzhou and planned to use Guangdong as the base of the Northern Expedition, hosted a banquet for Mr. Chen Jiongming, in an attempt to persuade Chen Jiongming to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
However, Chen Jiongming, who held the power of the Guangdong army, shouted the slogan that shook the sky and did not send troops.
Seeing through Chen Jiongming's thoughts, Song Qingling persuaded Sun Yat-sen to choose someone else. This person is Chiang Kai-shek.
Sun Yat-sen sent telegrams to urge Chiang Kai-shek many times, but he used the excuse of mourning his mother to stay in his hometown temple and play chess with the host every day, but he did not go out of the mountain.
Until the abbot's words touched Chiang Kai-shek's heart, "The green clouds of the benefactor should begin in the south." ”
Chiang Kai-shek went south the next day and came to find Sun Yat-sen, but the military power was firmly controlled by Chen Jiongming, and he was just a bare-bones commander.
Chiang Kai-shek complained to Sun Yat-sen through a mourning story, and finally said, even if I come back, what can I do for my husband?
But at this time, there is still a year left before Chen Jiongming put pen to paper in 1922, and history and personal destiny will soon change again.
After the story is told, the audience will find that China at this time is turbulent and the vast land is still in the fog of history.
In the cracks of history, how did China develop, and how did the road come out of the world, "Ask the Boundless" will show the audience step by step.
This kind of storytelling method of seeing the big in the small, getting a glimpse of the whole leopard and knowing the whole leopard not only makes the whole play flesh and blood, but also makes the audience discover that the choice of historical path is not easy.
The road of the Chinese revolution is not groundless, it is the road out of the vast land.
Because of this, "Ask the Boundless" has a real charm.
02, to things, to treat people, for the people, three details to express the charm of young personality.
Wang Renjun plays the young *** in "Ask the Boundless" is a veritable core character.
Although there are many story lines, the main ones are actually what the chief screenwriter Chen Jin said: **How to be elected as a leader by the party, history, and the people?
From the story, a vivid, full and concrete young man *** has since jumped on the page.
Three details in the play show the charm of the chairman.
1. The right thing.
In the first episode, the young *** returned to Hunan after attending the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and just talked to everyone about the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China with He Shuheng, and the plot also explained that Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao did not attend the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The next task can stump everyone.
** I want to run the party's cause in my hometown and develop ideologically and educationally, but there is such a problem, that is, self-financing.
How do you run a school without funds?Everyone is helpless, but *** is: no money, so think of a way.
Sure enough, it's our *** domineering character!
The point is that in the end, he really wants to succeed.
Here, it also shows the wisdom of young people.
If something is difficult, it will be done first, and it will not be difficult to do.
On the long road of life in the future, ** actually shows the charm of this service again and again.
But if you can get things done, you won't have so much personality charm.
The second is to treat people.
In the first two episodes, we talk about a lot of big things, but we talk about a small thing—*At the family dinner.
The fragrant braised pork, the first to burn and then stew, to put more spicy seeds, the smoky stove, and the warm daily life of the Mao family all make you feel that no matter how awesome the man is, he will return home.
He is one of the third children of the *** and Mao family, the first two brothers passed away one after another after birth, and when he came to him, his mother asked him to recognize Shi Niangniang as his godmother, so he called the little baby who pulled the car and called him Brother Shi.
The whole family is eating, 3 dishes plus 1 spicy, even if it is 4 dishes, it can be regarded as before the Spring Festival meal.
But everyone has to move chopsticks, ** say slow down, wait by yourself, it's the little sister who was sold outside as a child daughter-in-law when she was a child, saved by herself, and cut off the relationship.
In terms of family status, in terms of identity, especially in the old society, this little sister was mostly discriminated against when she let other people's families go.
But *** not only arranged for my sister to go to school, asked my wife to take care of herself more, and the whole family went to eat, but always waited until my sister came to open it.
A small thing will reflect how the chairman treats people, meticulous and meticulous.
But if he is only so good to his relatives, he still doesn't have so much personality charm.
The third is to be a person. In order to carry out the workers' movement, the most direct and arduous way was used: going to the mining area and getting to know the miners.
The play makes people deeply realize that the young *** thinks highly and treats the toiling masses deeply.
I watched the big drama carefully.
At that time, the hardships of the workers' lives were often only macro-samparded in textbooks, more or less general.
What is the real life picture?What does a real mine look like?Eating, living?
It is difficult for contemporary youth to have a specific understanding of this issue.
As a result, in episode 2, the audience was dumbfounded after following the chairman and riding a 10-year-old miner's donkey cart into the miners' construction site.
What is "the young man enters the charcoal shed, the old man carries the bamboo tube, the illness drives you away, and it is better to raise a dog than to die!".”
It goes like this.
Eating and drinking enough rice, living on a flea bed, so sick that he was dying and struggling and did not dare to rest, for fear that he would be driven out by the mine owner and would not be able to get paid.
Groups of drama clips and details are pulled to the brim.
More importantly, we can see the layers of fission in the psychology of young people from here.
By mercy. Finally, one day, the eyes shot fire.
To the anger of the young ***, after the death of the wife and husband of the Anyuan coal miner, he led his three children to pick up vegetable leaves to live, and was "ghosted" by the editor of the mine: he spread rumors that he was sneaky, but in fact he was afraid that people would approach him and express sympathy for himself and hear his experience.
Eventually, she was killed under the steamer.
Mao's anger can be felt through the screen: "Those who call her a demon are more ** than a ghost."
From this scene, we can get a glimpse of why the young man's fieldwork is so magical, because he measured the facts with his feet.
I really endured the hardships of the people and knew how to save them!
It's even more compassionate. When I was on the way, I saw the widow of the miner who spread rumors and became ghosts, and her face was full of pity.
The poorest miners came up and talked, stood up with half socks on, and were talking to each other.
When he saw the ten-year-old miner driving for him, he first gave him a piece of cake, watched the little miner take a bite and hide it in his clothes, and even gave him the rest of the piece.
It turned out that the little miners had stuffed another piece of bread into their clothes.
At that moment, the audience felt double heartache on Mao's face.
It is precisely because of this that when it comes to teachers, the emotions that have surged in the hearts of many Chinese are so deep.
Because only the chief who knows how to love the people will receive the heartfelt support of the people.
Through the three things of things, people and people, a young *** image comes out of this.
If many big dramas with the same theme in the past have made the audience see the best thoughts, the opening remarks of "Ask the Boundless" make the audience see the charm of the young *** personality: only such a *** can lead the poor and weak China through the vast years and reach the other side of the long river of history.
03, shoot a new road of revolutionary historical drama, this drama is going to be popular!
I've watched the first two episodes, and if you want to ask me what is the most direct perception, I will definitely say: lifting weights is light.
The theme of revolutionary history was originally a theme unique to our country.
And this kind of creation avoids slogans and false big emptiness.
The reason why it is detached from reality, exaggerated, and not bought by the audience is that the audience does not like to read historical accounts.
But "Ask the Boundless" is different.
This is the main drama, not too serious. But it carries the youthful atmosphere, creativity and vitality of the young people at that time.
It's a historical drama, but it's not just about history.
However, with the revolutionary romance, it is both "history" and "poetry".
"Ask the Boundless" has a unique temperament.
On the one hand, it abandons the past and uses the narrative technique of major events and backgrounds in history textbooks as the main means of presentation, restores that era of great changes, and charges into battle.
What is particularly remarkable is director Wang Wei's realistic and romantic painting style.
For example, in episode 2, before Chen Duxiu was captured by the lackeys at the behest of the Beiyang warlord, he calmly drove the autumn mosquitoes away, and the lackeys rushed to the front one after another, and he was also sarcastic and sarcastic.
The lackey is about to take everyone away, and he said very calmly that all this is a matter of friends, and there is still a sin in playing mahjongIf you just take me away, it's as good as going to jail and going to the research room.
It's really Chen Duxiu, walking into the cell is walking into the research room for him, no wonder he was released and asked the jailer not to disturb him, this article has not been written.
Someone was finally caught, and the camera was fixed on the mosquito parked in a mahjong "in" **.
The metaphors in the details are profound.
This ** is a mosquito in mahjong, but it is a metaphor for a group of annoying flies and mosquitoes in China at this time.
On the other hand, in terms of character building, the series does not have a tendency to follow the rules and tacitly abide by the rules, which makes the image of *** more amiable and cute on the basis of the previous great men.
** As soon as he appears, or points out the country, he has a journey, and this process is precisely the focus of this play.
In particular, the repertoire of *** mining investigation simply makes the young *** charming place shine.
Such a passage makes many people want to read it but are unwilling to read it.
Longing for that era?
Of course not, it was dark and tired.
The audience doesn't have to go back to the way things were.
However, we will be shocked and moved by the young faculty members who "asked" the times a hundred years ago in the misty and chaotic land of that time, tracing where China is heading.
Ask what is the truth in the vast earth?
We foresee spoilers in today's life: communism will emerge before the Communist Party will be able to save China.
This process of victory is a historical process in the vast land.
How to make this process sound and impressive when the ending is known is an unavoidable problem for all revolutionary historical dramas.
"The Age of Awakening" was a success, and "Ask the Boundless" was a success.
It is impossible for any era in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, to produce heroes and heroes in troubled times like China back then.
Some of them were born and died, and they were generous and righteous. For example, "It doesn't matter if you cut off your head, you can really do it." Kill Shamingham and the people who came after".
There are also Cai Hesen, Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian and Xiang Jingyu when they were about to appear and die, they were all less than 30 years old.
There are also some people who have come out of the vast years and become the pillars of New China, such as the young man who is about to appear on the stage and has a heroic face
There are some people who take the world as their own responsibility and seek a personal way to achieve success. Even if you get the world, it's only temporary.
There are also people who regard the salvation of the toiling masses as their mission, and the world is not a one-man chess, but the world is in the hands of the people of the world.
This person, i.e. ***
Comparing "The Awakening Age" and "Asking the Boundless", although the time and space are slightly different, they actually shoot the same thing:
The victory of communism and the growth of China's revolutionary road, in order to achieve this goal, some people persisted in their convictions and persevered
Some have generously given their blood and lives.
What touches people the most is that at that time, they didn't know if their efforts could be exchanged for light.
But they still chose to live in the dark environment, moving forward.
Our current life is a continuation of "The Age of Awakening" and "Ask the Boundless".
What is the road to saving China?
Who is the lord of the ups and downs on the vast earth?”
can shoot the answer behind the vast history with a vivid story, and I can't help but say that the beginning of "Ask the Boundless" is very wonderful.
Revolutionary historical dramas are also of great significance in the vast land.
Ask who is the ruler of the vast earth?Of course, it's still people.
