It tells the story of a mysterious imperial power named "Yan Shifan" during the war. , Defending the home and defending the country, complete the story of the big self and the individual.
is slightly different from many types of dramas on the market. "Hot Blood" is neither a strictly idol drama nor a fictionalized drama. A legendary drama of ideology. Its "both right and evil" is exactly the point of this drama. A group of Manchu nobles composed of eight-legged brothers, all jade trees facing the wind, under the appearance that they are not doing their jobs, they are actually The important elite troops secretly defending the imperial city are known as "Yanshifan". Although
"Yanshifan" is false, the historical background and meaning of life reflected in it are true. How exactly is "Hot Blood" presented? What enlightenment can it bring to the current market, which is a passionate youth inspirational drama composed of Huang Zitao and Yi Yanqianxi, the two popular "fried chicken" partners? It is worth exploring.
injects the legend into the "historical facts", the "history of the same" "Exquisite" at the scene
, the human-powered rickshaws coming and going in the alleys of
are dressed in a mix of Chinese and Western styles. Long gowns, jackets and long braids are still the main force, but there are also a lot of little European dresses of noble children and "Xiaoyang" staring at the girl's feet. Shoes"...This is the first long shot less than five minutes after the opening of "Hot Blood". It is also a scene that explains the background of the story and the ins and outs.
is different from a regular drama or a historical drama. "Hot Blood" is attached. In this group of passionate young people, the legendary drama of the era. The audience can see the "historical light and shadow" of the past through many scenes in the drama. For example, the opening chapter Chong Liming (played by Huang Zitao) was visiting his dad after returning home from abroad The words mentioned, “Don’t run to Schulte if it’s okay”, “I didn’t participate in the campaign to save the emperor”, here have already implied that the emperor and the queen dowager’s political opinions are incompatible.
Seeing the "Emperor" in the play being quiet on the Yingtai by the Queen Mother, on the lake surrounded by all sides, the emperor alone dances on the ice, lying in front of the case at night and reading, the camera is swept away, a book called Montesquieu The book of reforms floated before the case... After seeing this situation, Dong Lianhai, the "Great Eunuch", reported the incident to the Queen Mother, and then there was a famous scene behind-hundreds of people chipping ice in the middle of the night.
It was not only the ice cubes around Yingtai that was chipped off, but also the young emperor’s attitude towards the Qing court and the future. Come hopeful. And following the director’s lens, the audience will also see that at the moment the young emperor fell, "Great Eunuch" Dong Lianhai led a well-dressed young child who looked less than ten years old, holding a bowl of "soup" in his hand, and came Wait and see the emperor.
Friends who are familiar with this period of history know that this is a famous bridge that refracts the coup of "Emperor Guangxu" and "Queen Dowager Cixi". According to historical records, in the late Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai by the Empress Dowager Cixi, chiseling ice, yogurt, Montesquieu books, and children under ten years old (in fact, the last emperor of the Qing court, Puyi). A detailed testimony to this piece of historical facts, as far as the history of the death of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, there are different opinions from various historical observers, but it is certain that the sacrifice of Emperor Guangxu accelerated the historical process of reform and change. .
In fact, the "historical exquisiteness" shown in "Along with Hot Blood" is far more than that. In the later plots, the "Yan Shifan" headed by Chong Liming fights with the old parties of the Qing court, competes for railway construction agreements, and creates new styles. Schools, joining the Revolutionary Party, etc. all reflect these important historical processes in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
For example, in 1910, the British, French, German and American banks forced the government to sign a loan contract for road construction, the "Road Protection Movement" (also known as the Railway Movement), the Wuchang Uprising that took place in Wuchang, Hubei in 1911, which overthrew the Qing rule and the mutiny, and the upcoming new In China, enthusiastic youths actively resisted the "National Protection Movement" and so on.
's grand background is alsoOne of the important reasons why "Passionate Blood" has caused many fans of the current drama, and even the party's popularity.
product details, figure-making, the youth loyalty
of the "Yan Shifan" "the big things are true, the details are implemented", this is the deep impression that "Blood Together" has left to the public. Relying on the background of the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, "Walking with Blood" can be said to be "exquisite" in every place.
For example, Chongliming's dress at the beginning of the show, the "Western style ponytail" with half-length hair erected, the suit + dress-style dress collocation, long Martin boots on his feet, and a large jade ring on his hands... ...In addition to the revelation of the noble status of the man’s Qingzheng Baiqi Lord Beile, it also highlights the transitional period of "Chinese and Western culture" in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. When
first met with the young Ayi (played by Yi Yanqianxi) Maji Mutton Soup Restaurant, the short weapon used by Ayi was in sharp contrast with the foreign pistol used by Chong Liming. The new trends of thought in Western industrial civilization and the backward daggers and swords of the East all hint at the transformative significance given by the times. In the latest plot of
, Chong Liming has teamed up with Ayi, Yuchu Gege and other Yanshifan members to successfully complete the important task of eradicating the "old party" (the old member of the previous Yanshifan and the Queen Mother party). The trend of "New Youth" is preliminarily emerging. Regardless of whether it is teaching the language of Chugege to learn foreign languages, Chongli's "ideological awareness" when he saw Zhou Jue in the early Ming Dynasty, and the "military uniform" and "foreign costume" appearances of Ayi and Yu Chugege in the later period, all reveal the growth behind the arc of the characters. The story and the situation are turbulent.
This is the worst time and also the best time. The teenagers are full of enthusiasm. From confusion and irregularity to self-reliance, they actively participate in the revolution in the new era of thought. They have grown up along the way. Just as Li Hongzhang said in the late Qing Dynasty, "Heroes should be built as a wonder. industry".
"Youth Edition" legendary drama, the break and establishment of "Hot Blood"
is slightly different from many previous legendary dramas. "Hot Blood" has its own characteristics in terms of actor matching and style establishment. First of all, from the perspective of actors, Huang Zitao and Yi Yanqianxi are the most popular film and television artists in recent years, and they are described as "traffic responsibility". The special identities of the two actors also gave the audience a preconceived impression in the early stage of the show.
didn't report much hope, but there were many audiences who were accidentally "sweetened" by the show. The current audience is quite satisfied with both the acting skills of Huang Zitao and Yi Yanqianxi, as well as their respective personalities.
Chongliming's eight-legged brother status is still the core strength of the "Yan Shifan" after the reorganization. He is full of enthusiasm, eliminates traitors and supports the weak, and dares to be a "man". A Yi, who doesn't talk much, seems to be more suitable for Yi Yang Qianxi himself, but the bitterness and obstacles on the journey of youth growth also give a different meaning to the revolutionary road.
is slightly different from the past legendary dramas that have bitter and deep hatred, or are completely attached to idols and pure love. "Hot Blood" does not slack in the big format, whether it is directly or indirectly presented in the drama. The battle between the emperors and the queen, the “road protection movement” that the old and new parties are striving for, or the “Wuchang Uprising” and the “War of Defence of the Country” that took place on the eve of the establishment of New China all have historical archetypes.
From the perspective of narrative structure and style presentation, "Hot Blood" also adopts a composite approach of "relaxed + inspirational". In the play, Chong Liming and Yu Chu sometimes quarrel, the character contrast between Ah Yi and Chong Liming, and the dog Characters with distinctive personalities such as Yang Zhen and Yang Zhen are all weakening the "seriousness" held in traditional legendary dramas. But once it returns to the theme, this is a serious and honest historical legend.
Nowadays, when we mention chronological legendary dramas, on the one hand, the audience will feel a little overwhelmed by the "seriousness" held by the drama; on the other hand, they will be overwhelmed by the repeated and protracted emotional scenes in the drama. Persuaded to retire. "Hot Blood" just abandons the "disadvantages" of traditional legendary dramas. It is based on the relaxed narrative and serious core of the grand background pattern, which is an important expression method pursued by the legendary dramas of the current era.
