Since the beginning of the year, CCTV's good dramas have emerged in an endless stream, and have successively launched "Flowers" and "Dajiang Dahe 3", the former is dizzying, while the latter shows the passion and progress of the 90s. These two dramas have successively aroused enthusiastic pursuit and discussion among the audience, and their popularity and ratings have reached unprecedented heights, and they are deeply loved by the public.
Unexpectedly, the domestic TV series with excellent reputation launched by CCTV for the first time in 2024 is not "Flowers" or "Dajiang Dahe 3", but this one won 8. on Douban9 points for a historical drama!
Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" is his masterpiece that came to the world, and its excellent shots and actors' performances have won unanimous praise from the audience, and it currently has a rating of 8 on Douban5, ranked second.
In third place is the hit TV series "Dajiang Dahe 3". The original cast of the show continued the high quality of the previous two works, and currently has 84, and has been praised by a large number of fans, and the ratings continue to rise, making this IP a household name.
The work in the first place is the sequel to "The Awakening Age", "Ask the Boundless", although the score on Douban is as high as 89, but its overall spread is relatively small, and it has received almost no attention compared to "Flowers".
"Ask the Boundless", CCTV's historical drama, seems to have been quietly completed, and it was not until the Internet popularity reached its peak that it barely entered the tenth position.
The current popularity is not high, and the popularity and discussion of the entire network are quite low, not even one-tenth of the popular drama.
Therefore, I want to give a voice to this drama and cheer it on, because a good repertoire cannot be ignored!
Asking the Vast is a TV series focusing on the background of modern Chinese history in the 1920s, which recounts in detail the whole process from the start of the Hunan labor movement, the development of the organization, and the beginning and end of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party from the perspective of Teacher Mao.
The reason why "Ask the Boundless" can be compared with "The Awakening Age" is because "The Awakening Age" represents the awakening of the nation and beautifies many social classes in it. And the former represents the awakening of the class, right down to the true essence of things.
Both plays exude a passionate vibe, as if Top Gun from boyhood.
In the work "Ask the Boundless", we can see more stability and depth, which allows the audience to gradually calm down through a series of difficulties and challenges, and begin to explore and recognize those things that were previously unseen, and some of the plots are also presented in repetition through different characters and forms.
Under the guidance of the choreographer's carefully designed lens, we can get a glimpse of how the young generation relentlessly explored and searched for the path and direction of the revolution a hundred years ago. How did they realize their self-worth and become the best people in the revolutionary cause? Continuous upward development, go deep into the grassroots, have the courage to walk in the forefront, and combine practice with knowledge.
In history books, names and events, familiar or unfamiliar, are no longer just bits and pieces, but are presented in a lively way. In the long river of history, those characters who were once peerless are on the page. This book fills in the gaps of many textbooks and plunges us into them, sometimes angry, sometimes uplifted, sometimes moved, and sometimes sad. In the long river of history, we use books, as if through the tunnel of time, to meet the ancients. Be apprehensive about your worries and be happy with your own pleasures.
This group of people is full of scholarly temperament and easy-to-use attitude, but at the same time, they also experience loss and confusion, and encounter failure. Not only do they have a pen that can make their enemies fearful, but they also have the determination to break through various obstacles and establish their own **. In the tide of revolution, with the spirit of "daring to be the first in the world", they wrote their life legends with flesh and blood. The road of revolution was fraught with obstacles and long, while the hot-blooded young people showed impassioned spirit.
We have the opportunity to review that period of the party's history and its tortuous development trajectory in an all-round and in-depth way, and to persevere and forge ahead with determination can always inspire an inspiring spirit.
Thanks to the excellent performances of the actors, the characters in the play are shown very vividly and in detail. On stage, they are vivid and refreshing. A series of young and middle-aged actors such as Wang Renjun, Ning Li, Bai Ke, Tang Zeng, Jiaze, Wu Xingjian, Niu Junfeng, Wei Daxun, Zheng Yecheng and so on have successfully interpreted the great characters in the history books vividly!
Jiang Xianyun, Lu Deming, Wu Zhonghao, Wang Erzhuo, Xu Jishen, Cai Shenxi, Duan Dechang, Huang Gongluo, Zhu Yunqing, Xun Huaizhou, Liu Zhidan, Zhang Tailei, Wan Xixian, Wu Huanxian, Dong Zhentang, Zhou Yiqun, Chen Shuxiang, etc., these revolutionary martyrs who died bravely in the Red Army era, have all acquired their form and soul.
In politically related books, these characters are either briefly described or not mentioned at all. I'm a big fan of political books, but this period shouldn't be included in political books. During the period from 1921 to 1927, there were relatively few descriptions in political books, giving a sense of both speed and confusion, but when these images were presented, they seemed difficult to understand and accept.
My heart is even heavier when I think that most of them have already died, and the revolutionary forebearers are so great!
Overall, the story of this drama is quite wonderful, by no means groundless, and it is basically arranged in the order of the chronicles. Looking closely at every detail, it's clear that the entire team has put a lot of effort and time into telling the history and people.
In particular, this has enabled us to have a deeper understanding of the party and the great figures.
As the theatre critics have pointed out, all the ideas of the teachers are deeply rooted in the land of China and in the deep feelings of the workers and peasants of Guangfa. At the beginning of the article, the core question of the youth facing the reality is that in this vast land, who can decide the ups and downs of fate? Ask the masses of the people, who is in charge of the revolution? This sentence is also an issue that affects every generation of young people.
Therefore, the work "Ask the Boundless" is definitely worth watching many times.
