In the creation of historical themes, we often follow the principle of "big things are true, small things are not informal". These eight words seem simple, but in fact they contain profound truths.
Although the creation of historical themes can sometimes seem a bit thankless, we still have to persevere, because only in this way can we create historical works with real depth and connotation.
The contours of history cannot deviate in the slightest, but the characters and details in it can be interpreted appropriately and do not have to be too rigid. "
In order to enhance the interest and appreciation of the work, some fictional elements are sometimes added, such as "changing rice to mulberry" in "Daming Dynasty 1566" directed by Zhang Li and written by Liu Heping, although it did not happen in the history of the Jiajing Dynasty, but it played a good role in the TV series.
In today's world, historical dramas that were once all the rage seem to be gradually declining. Due to the high production cost of the subject itself, coupled with the difficulty of censorship, it is impossible to implant ads, and as a result, few film and television companies are willing to invest a lot of money and energy to produce a historical masterpiece.
Do you still remember Zhang Hanyu and Li Xuejian's "Chang'an under Heaven"?This work has been pressing the bottom of the box for 6 years. Therefore, whenever I see a new historical work, I look at it with a positive and appreciative attitude.
Although it is always challenging to create, the work I mentioned today has lifted my spirits.
"Why China" was born, and as soon as it was launched, it took the lead in the two major flats of Goose Factory and iQiyi, and the score was as high as 95 points, becoming the best in historical masterpieces.
In 223 BC, the states of Chu and Qin fought fiercely on the battlefield. A year ago, the king of Chu was captured, and the general Xiang Yan committed suicide, leaving only Changpingjun and others, who were still stubbornly resisting the powerful attack of the Qin army.
Jia Yi vividly described the feat of Qin Shi Huang in "On the Passage of Qin": "In the period of Qin Shi Huang, he relied on the prestige accumulated in six generations, wielded a long whip to govern the world, annexed the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, eliminated the princes, ascended to the throne, controlled the whole world, and whipped the whole country with a stick, shocking the Quartet.
On the horizon of the East, the outlines of a great empire are beginning to emerge. However, in the context of this bleak and magnificent era, there are many little-known little people who, in their own way, quietly shape and change the course of history.
In 1975, a large number of bamboo slips were unearthed from the Qin tomb of Sleeping Tiger in Yunmeng County, Hubei Province, and one of the letters from the family attracted widespread attention.
A letter sent by Heifu and Surprise to the eldest brother was taken to the grave by the latter. In the letter, they begged their mother and eldest brother to send clothes and money as soon as possible, and finally wrote "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry, hurry" eagerly.
Reading this, this old family letter, which has been preserved for more than 2,000 years, makes me feel a lot of emotion. The fierce battle, the ordinary warrior, the mother who is looking forward to the return of her son, and the brother who worries about the two younger brothers, this sincere universal emotion that spans more than 2,000 years and resonates deeply.
1. "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan"There are 8 episodes, each of which is about 60 minutes long. "Why China" is a historical documentary, not a TV series or film, but it provides very detailed historical information.
In the first episode, we will take you back to the Qin and Han dynasties, which was a great period in Chinese history known as the "First Chinese Empire". During this period, the ** regime was unprecedentedly strong, heroes and heroes emerged in an endless stream, and many famous figures in history emerged one after another. Let us witness the glory and glory of this era together.
After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he appointed Meng Tian to fight the Xiongnu in the north. Meng Tian built a road of more than 700 kilometers for this purpose"Straights", directly connecting Guanzhong with the Great Wall, has become a key artery to ensure defense and material transportation.
Under the rule of Han Gaozu, the country gradually stabilized, and the Han Dynasty's eyes began to turn to the south. Lu Jia was ordered to go to South Vietnam to persuade Emperor Zhao Tuowu to give up his independence and re-establish a subordinate relationship with the Central Plains.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to disintegrate the power of the Xiongnu, the daughter of a criminal minister, Princess Xie Wei was married to Wusun Heqin. The princess is gone, and it is a long time of half a century.
In the turbulent Western Regions, Princess Xie Wu went through many marriage changes, and with her tenacity and wisdom, she made outstanding contributions to the development of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions. Her fate is like a meteor, from a criminal to old age, but she has always remained loyal to her country.
As the years passed, half a century of wind and frost carved the traces of her face, but it could not erase the magnificent chapter of her life. 4. Consistently excellent quality comes from the high-quality raw materials in the four ancient areas of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang.
Whenever I see these four names, I think of another documentary, "Hexi Corridor", which is full of historical precipitation and charm.
In this "Why China", I found a different perspective - through personal joys and sorrows, revealing the deeper story behind history. Heifu and Shock, Princess Jiewu, Sifu Hong, and Soldier Zhuan, their fates are intertwined, revealing another side of history.
The passage of time takes us through the millennium to appreciate the prosperity and glory of China's 5,000-year-old civilization. Although people today can no longer see the moon of ancient times, the bright moon once illuminated the way of the ancients.
When I was in "Why China", I was so attracted by its strong historical atmosphere that I almost forgot that those actors existed.
Huang Yao's role as the princess of anxiety makes me feel extremely sorry;And Hu Ge's Si Fuhong made me feel as if I had traveled through a long river of time.
That's right, time travel. In "Why China", this word frequently comes to my mind. However, the profundity and prosperity of history cannot be fully expressed in this short word.
In thousands of years of rich civilization and history, my lack of words and vocabulary has long been unable to express all the shock it has brought me.
There is only respect, no other.
