"Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has exquisite materials, powerful plot weaving, and full character portrayal, which provides experience and inspiration for the innovation and development of major revolutionary historical themes and the youthful expression.
Focus on the three years of great people, so that the pulse of youth resonates with the new era
With the youth of me, we will create a youth family, a youth country, a youth nation, a youth human being, a youth earth, and a youth universe". The important breakthrough of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" lies in the innovation of materials, which fills the gap in the creation of film and television dramas. The play actively explores, looking for creative space in the cracks of history, focusing on the three years of youth from 1918 to 1921. The script interprets the thick history from a new perspective, and meticulously depicts how *** has grown from a hot-blooded young man who believes in education to save the country to a staunch Marxist.
The title of the play "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" comes from the poem written by *** at the age of 25 "Jun Xingwu is a great song, Kunpeng hits the waves from the beginning", with a high-spirited and energetic spiritual temperament and romantic strokes, it shows the great ambition of young people to fight the wind and waves and pursue the truth. At present, judging from the 16 episodes that have been broadcast, the drama tells the twists and turns of *** since he graduated from Hunan No. 1 Normal in 1918 and organized a group of young Hunan students to go to Beijing to fight for work-study opportunities in France, as well as the ideological change process of meeting Li Dazhao when he was working and studying in the library of Peking University and began to accept the baptism of Marxist spirit.
Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has a remarkable performance in terms of plot cultivation and plot weaving. The play closely focuses on the main character of young people, deeply cultivates the complex background of the times, and starts from multiple angles and dimensions, showing the audience a colorful picture of revolutionary history. On the one hand, in Hunan, ** and others founded the Xinmin Society, hid with Cai Hesen on vacation, "fought" with Zhang Jingyao, the overseer of Hunan twice, and the escape and displacement of the people, fully showing the dark and decaying historical period;In Beijing, he worked and studied in the library of Peking University, collided with Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Huang Kan and other masters, Xiao Zisheng served in the Huafa Education Association and promoted Hunan students to go to France to work and study, and young students in Beijing Sanyanjing Hutong "endure hardship, patience, and brutality" daily life, etc., showing the times and historical pictures of the new cultural movement. These rich experiences are of great significance in the growth and revolutionary process of the youth, showing the fledgling and fearless youth of the youth in an all-round way. On the other hand, the young man followed his mentor Yang Changji to Peking University, accompanied by Xiao Zisheng, Cai Hesen and other classmates, and the ignorant love of the little sister Yang Kaihui, and the contradictions and bonds with his father and family, etc., flesh and blood shaped the emotional body of the young man.
On the whole, the struggle and mental state of the young students in "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" to explore the truth and seek the road to national salvation all vividly reflect the four sentences given to them by Yang Changji - "Where the heart goes, where the body goes, move forward, and never turn back". By telling the story of the great man's youth, the story of struggle, and the story of faith, and through this youth dialogue spanning a century, "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" allows young people in the new era to resonate and empathize, absorb the power of faith, and continue the red blood.
The characters are real and vivid, showing the youthful style and the group portrait of the characters of the times
Just a classmate is young, in his prime;The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Xuan. ”The main advantage of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is that the main creative team has been relatively successful in shaping the spiritual temperament of the characters and the temperament of the times. Through multiple perspectives such as teachers, classmates, lovers, and parents, the play shows a real three-dimensional and down-to-earth image of young people.
The first is the shaping of the image of great men. Judging from the episodes that have been broadcast, "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" makes the audience feel that a young **** new-generation actor who is in his prime, full of vitality, and real and touchable performs the youthful charm of a generation of great people Kunpeng hitting the waves, which has been recognized by most audiences. The main creative team of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" insists on using young actors to play the great man when he was young. According to reports, the crew spent nearly half a year selecting actors among more than 6,000 people, in addition to similar appearances, they value the similarity more, and they value the courage and love of learning spirit of young actor Liu Chenglin. In order to create a good image of a great man, the young actor studied a large number of party history books, documentaries and film and television works, visited the places where the great man worked and lived in the play, and constantly went deep into the inner world of the characters, and constantly learned to improve their understanding and experience of the characters. Liu Chenglin said frankly that he once faced challenges and lack of confidence in his creation, but after he deeply experienced the role, he found and gained energy from the young ***, "a Hunan man who spares no trouble to find the truth".
The second is the shaping of other characters. For example, it vividly portrays the group portraits of young students who are sincere, brave and persevering, Xiao Zisheng and Cai Hesen have distinct personalities and delicate descriptions, Yang Kaihui is smart and smart, lively and lovely, and Zou Chengding is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and he is not familiar with the world. For example, Yang Changji, Hu Shi, Huang Kan and other Peking University professors have different temperaments and personality traits, and each character is brought to life through the exquisite plot design and excellent performances of the actors. Another example is the ruthless Zhang Jingyao, the low-key and calm Li Shizeng, the studious and progressive Zhu Qianzhi and other non-main characters, although they do not appear much, but they outline unforgettable characters with just a few strokes.
The third is the depiction of the relationship between the characters. In the plot that has been broadcast, the relationship between the young man *** and Yang Changji has changed really naturally, and Yang Changji has both the kindness of cultivation and guidance, but also the difference of opinion that is not very unanimous, especially in the matter of whether to go to France for work-study. The "Three Friends of Xiangjiang" encourage and support each other with a lot of brotherhood, but it also contains different opinions on the road to national salvation, subtle relationships between study and work opportunities and love objects, etc., these character relationships are handled vividly and delicately in the play, real and touchable. In addition, the revolutionary love of ** and Yang Kaihui's like-mindedness and unity of faith is a bright color in the play. In the context of the stormy times, the purity and obscurity of the budding love between the two are reflected in the exquisite design and meticulous performance of the plot, as well as in the performance details of the young actors' body movements and eyebrows.
At the symposium commemorating the 130th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Ao, the general secretary pointed out that Comrade Comrade's life is a life of unremitting struggle for the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. In the next plot of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves", some little-known histories will continue to be revealed, such as what happened after *** chose to give up going to France and stay in China?**What is the purpose of the second time in Beijing?**How did he and Xiao Zisheng go from being brothers and sisters to finally parting ways?Let us continue to follow the youthful struggle of young people, continue to push forward the cause pioneered by Comrade ***, and comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization!
