Directed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and produced and distributed by Chunyu Film and Television, the TV series "Scout Hero" has received a double harvest of word-of-mouth and popularity since it was broadcast on January 9. The play is cut from the perspective of scouts on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, telling the story of Liang Chen, the head of the reconnaissance section of a division of the Volunteer Army, leading the division reconnaissance team to complete many seemingly impossible tasks.
On January 29, the China Television Art Committee held a seminar on the TV series "Scout Heroes" in Beijing, where representatives of the main creators, industry experts, and scholars gathered to review the creative process of the show since its inception and summarize the creative experience of war-themed dramas.
Compared with the previous film and television works with the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the innovation of "Scout Hero" for war-themed film and television dramas has been recognized by the participating experts. Gao Changli, director of the TV Drama Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television, affirmed the new perspective and real texture of "Scout Heroes" with scouts as the incision: "Through vivid characters and real battle examples, it shows the bravery and wisdom of the volunteers. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is the eternal theme of literary and artistic creation, and this play is instructive for the creation of such works in the future. ”
Li Jingsheng, vice president of the China Federation of Radio and Television Social Organizations, also believes that "Scout Heroes" provides a new reference for the creation of war-themed works in the future. The play cuts from the perspective of a scout, from macro to micro, and writes and depicts the fight against US aid to Korea in an all-round way, which not only has technical content, but also ideological and artistic content. Li Jingsheng said.
At the seminar, talking about the creative process of "Scout Heroes", director Zheng Xiaolong said frankly that the play adheres to its consistent creative concept - real, "From a prop in the play to the whole battle, it must be close to reality; In terms of character building, the protagonist is not deified, and the enemy is not dwarfed; What I also want to show is that there are not only active and heroic sacrifices on the battlefield, but also many unexpected sacrifices, and they are all heroes. The purpose of filming this work is to tell everyone about the cruelty and unpredictability of the battlefield, and hope that everyone can cherish the hard-won peace at the moment. Director An Zhanjun said that in addition to devoting himself to shaping the characters well, it is more important to convey the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and the national spirit to the audience, so as to arouse the resonance of the audience. Cao Ping, president of Chunyu Film and Television and chief producer of "Scout Heroes", sighed, "Seeing that the audience is moved by the characters and stories of "Scout Heroes", patriotic enthusiasm is high, and the spirit of the heroes is constantly inherited, all the hard work and dedication are worth it." ”
The military instructor took us to repeatedly practice various gun holding postures, as well as tactical actions such as highland attack and highland defense, feeling the feeling of air waves and mud lapping on our bodies and faces, and feeling the scorching heat of bullet casings falling on the collar. The filming experience in Chengde, Hebei Province makes the actor and actor Luo Jin, the actor and actor of Liang Chen in "Scout Hero", still fresh in his memory, "The hard work of filming is not worth mentioning, the volunteer soldiers are admirable, and interpreting them well in the most simple and sincere way is the pride and glory of a lifetime for every actor."
Whether it is the main characters such as Liang Chen, Wen Jie, and Qi Lu, or the group portrait characters such as the first class of the reconnaissance company, they are all vivid and charming. In the opinion of experts, although "Scout Heroes" is based on the grand background of the war, it focuses more on the little people in the war, which is another success of the show. **Liu Shuxin, a professor at the School of Literature, Journalism and Communication of Minzu University, said that "Scout Heroes" leads the audience to look back at the history of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea in a small way, and artistically reproduces real war examples and character stories, realizing the combination of artistic truth and real life. Li Chunli, editorial coordinator and senior editor of the Literature and Art Department of "Guangming **", also believes: "The play uses the people's hearts to turn their backs, and the comparison between civilization and barbarism to vividly explain why we can win this war, which is a silent expression of moisturizing things." Small cuts, big themes, small people, big history, show the multiple expressions of this film, and it is a new exploration and attempt in art. He Tianping, an associate professor at the School of Journalism at Chinese Minmin University, believes that "Scout Hero" sublimates a major history with an artistic text, "fully respecting the logic of creation, making the script fine, the characters lively, and the tension skillful, so that the content is real and palpable, the play is not only a reflection of suffering and sacrifice, but also the preciousness of life and peace after a deep understanding of this great fear and anger."
* Zhong Chengxiang, a librarian of the Research Institute of Culture and History and a well-known literary critic, highly affirmed the long-term value of the play, "The significance of "Scout Heroes" is more to cherish the directors and creators of Zheng Xiaolong's generation who have been fighting on the front line, they have always explored how TV dramas reflect the times and how to cheer for the people, and their role is crucial to the continued prosperity of Chinese TV dramas."
