On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the great man,A major revolutionary historical drama called "Ask the Boundless" took over "This Peace of Mind is My Hometown" on December 12 and was officially launched on CCTV.
For the genre of revolutionary historical dramas, Yang Ma can definitely be called a "top student", from "Long March" to "Awakening Age" to "Armageddon", all of which have brought surprises to the audience.
Now, the new work "Ask the Boundless" has also attracted much attention, not only has it been recommended by "News Network" for 23 seconds, but the ratings have also exceeded 1 after the first two episodes7. The momentum is very violent.
The story of Ask the Vast takes place between 1921 and 1927These have been seven years of change and turmoil in China.
Although historical dramas and movies depict Comrade Mao's experiences during this period, there are only a handful of these film and television works.
And the drama "Ask the Boundless" captures this history and tries to present some fresh historical details to the audience.
The story revolves around the great man, who developed from a league member and a party member to a workers' movement in the past seven years.
From the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to the resolute struggle against the KuomintangEventually, he stepped into the fields and used his own footsteps to survey the significance of the peasants to the Chinese revolution.
The series leads to the question of "asking the vast earth, who is the master of the ups and downs", and explores how the great man recognized the revolutionary situation in the complex historical and military pattern.
In the course of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, we found step by step the way of armed revolution of workers and peasants in line with China's national conditions.
The drama involves big history, showing the experience of the young Comrade Mao during his tenure in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party from a grand perspective, telling how he was chosen as a leader by the party, history and the people in cadre work.
At the same time, the series also pays attention to the details of the descriptionGrasping the small stories and small details makes the whole show unique.
For example, the reason why Comrade Mao and Yang Kaihui did not take a photo together involved in the series, the origin of Chen Duxiu's title of "old man", etc., these story details are very infectious.
Ask the Vast combines big history with specific details, and shows its unique charm through vivid individual stories.
It is foreseeable that there are bound to be many historical details in "Ask the Boundless" that we don't know and don't understandThis will present the audience with a more fascinating history of the Chinese revolution.
From this point of view, "Ask the Boundless" seems to have taken the lead at the starting line, and the big history and wonderful details it tells are very exciting.
The director of the drama "Ask the Boundless" is Wang Wei, and everyone may not be sensitive to mentioning the director's nameBut when it comes to his works, everyone must have heard of it.
Director Wang Wei has emerged in the online drama market in recent years, and the suspense films "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Secret and Great" can be summed up by "explosion" in terms of popularity and reputation.
In these two dramas, he successfully broke the traditional routine of the same type of theme, and made a unique presentation in the plot setting and character personality.
In addition to the director's strength, the script of the play is also very secure.
The chief screenwriter is Chen Jin, an expert in party history, who has participated in the creation of the large-scale TV documentary "**", and has mastered the details of historical facts.
Another screenwriter, Leung Chun-wah, has also participated in the creation of many scriptsThe strength is also undoubted, and the two of them jointly wrote the script, which is absolutely reliable.
In addition, for historical dramas, allowing the audience to have a real feeling when watching the movie is a necessary element for the success of a drama, and in order to improve this element to the greatest extent, the crew has made great efforts.
First of all, in the restoration of the historical tone, the staff flipped through more than 50 million words of historical materialsHe has had many discussions with experts in party history and conducted nearly 1,000 hours of script meetings.
In order to make the scene more realistic, the crew also restored the residence of ***, and when filming some scenes, it was positioned according to the location of the historical **, and strived to improve the accuracy of the restoration of history.
The 761 scenes, nearly 10,000 costumes and 54,000 props involved in the whole play have also been copied and restored in accordance with history.
Secondly, in order to better show the historical style at that time, the main creative team began to prepare in 2021, and organized three wind collections at the end of the year.
I visited dozens of places such as Changsha, Shaoshan, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Wuhan, and tried to find the most suitable filming locations.
With such a degree of care, it's no wonder that you can't produce high-quality products.
After the foundation is laid, the next step is to see how the actors "build tall buildings".
This time, in "Ask the Boundless", the cast did not abandon the foundation of the old drama bonesHowever, it has also given many young actors opportunities.
In the whole play, the great man is a well-deserved protagonist, so let's take a look at the actor of the protagonist first.
For a long time, the most popular actors should be Gu Yue and Tang Guoqiang.
They not only have a seven-point resemblance to great men in appearance, but also can show the temperament of people through superb performances.
But these two actors can only play the great men after middle age because of the age limit, and the actors of the great men in their youth must tap into fresh blood.
Among this batch of fresh forces, Hou Jingjian and Wang Renjun should be regarded as the new generation of chairman actors who have attracted much attention.
This time, Wang Renjun took on the important task of playing the role of a young great man.
As far as Wang Chuanjun's acting skills are concerned, there should be no need to worry too much, after all, his performance in dramas such as "Xiangmi" and "Know" is good.
Moreover, this is not the first time he has played a great man, in the movie "Gutian Army", Wang Chuanjun only took ten minutes to pass the director's selection, but unfortunately his performance was still a little jerky at that time.
However, as an actor,Wang Renjun still remembers his own duty, and even should make up for his shortcomings.
After working hard, Wang Renjun gradually found the tone of the character, and the performance was more comfortable, I believe that this time he will have a good performance in "Ask the Boundless".
Next are the two old drama bones, Ning Li who plays Chen Duxiu and Ma Shaohua who plays Zhongshan .
Ning Li is an actor who is well-known in the film and television industry for his rich acting experience and excellent acting skills, although his famous work is "Undocumented Crime", he is not limited to the interpretation of villain roles.
In both "The Silent Truth" and "Police Honor", he managed to portray positive characters.
In particular, Chen Xincheng, the old policeman in "Police Honor", resonated with the audience with his rich life experience and passionate heart.
In recent years, Ning Li's popularity has been rising, and his role in "The Wandering Earth 2" is also very important, and in "Under the Prosperous City", his performance is also very dramatic.
For the role of Chen Duxiu, Ning Li, as a powerful actor, has the ability to bring different interpretations to the audience.
Ma Shaohua is a senior actorHe has been up and down in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years and has created many classic roles
In many red-themed and historical dramas, he has successfully played many classic characters and won the appreciation and recognition of the audience.
In "Ask the Boundless", he will play the role of the great national leader Sun Yat-sen, a role of great historical significanceIt is believed that through his superb acting skills and interpretation, the audience will be able to understand this history more deeply.
In addition to the old drama bones, there are also many middle-aged and young actors who have joined to add color to the play.
The first thing to mention is Song Jia, who has always shown very good acting skills.
This time, in "Ask the Boundless", she left a deep impression with her dignified and elegant shape.
No matter what role she plays, Song Jia can perform it perfectly, and people can't help but look forward to her performance in the play.
and Zheng Yecheng, who plays the young ***, as a potential actor, he not only has outstanding appearance, but also his strength is highly recognized.
Although he has starred in many costume dramas,But in recent years, he has also begun to get involved in dramas, such as the CCTV drama "Wishing You Ten Thousand Lights".
In "Ask the Boundless", he plays the role of a young man with a first-class style and military style that makes people look at it for thousands of years, and he is born in martial arts, and he does have some advantages in image and temperament.
As the actor of the young ***, he should also bring a brilliant performance.
In addition to these, there are also Cai Hesen who died at the age of 36 played by Wei Daxun, Qu Qiubai played by Niu Junfeng, Song Meiling played by Jiang Mengjie, etc., all of which are worth looking forward to.
However, the casting of Lao Jiang in the play is a bit worrying, and this character is played by Bai Ke, who is known to be out of the circle as a comedian.
In his early years, his image in the comedy movie "As a Last Resort" was unforgettable, and most audiences' impression of him was also that of a comedian.
And his appearance is not related to domineering, in addition,When he was young, Lao Jiang was still a little handsome, and obviously Bai Ke didn't quite fit.
In terms of acting, Bai Ke is not outstanding, so this is definitely a big challenge for him, and I don't know if he can complete this character creation excellently, which is inevitably worrying.
