is a grand narrative work of revolutionary history. How to improve the quality of the work? How to take the initiative in the complicated market competition? This is a relatively prominent issue facing writers and artists.
writes about the works of the founding of New China in 1949. The image of leaders is the key to success. The shaping of the image of leaders has always been a major issue that must be broken through in the film and television industry. The core is how the leaders of the artistic form can complete the transformation from appearance to spirit. After the death of Lenin, the Soviet Union has been trying to shape Lenin's screen image for 15 years. It was not until the advent of the movie "Lenin in 1918" in 1939 that it truly completed a Lenin image that was not only similar in appearance but also in spirit.
The shaping of Mao Zedong's image in my country started from the actor Gu Yue. The early stage was only a similar exploration stage. It was Tang Guoqiang's shaping of Mao Zedong's image in the "Long March" that really completed the artistic reproduction of the image of Mao Zedong from the shape to the god. This has gone through more than ten years of artistic exploration. Before Tang Guoqiang played Mao Zedong in "The Final Moment", he had more than 40 experiences in playing Mao Zedong, but this work is still more innovative than in the past.
In fact, in "The Final Moment", whether it is Tang Guoqiang who plays Mao Zedong or Liu Jin who plays Zhou Enlai, there are new leaps in the performance of important figures. An important sign of this leap is that the artist strives to explore the inner world of the characters in his works, expresses the character's characteristics attentively, and tries his best to avoid the fragmentation of the character's image. In the works, Mao Zedong is either impassioned or eloquent. The wisdom and courage of the leader and the unique temperament of a strategist are fully demonstrated in the film.
truly reflected the essence of history that shook the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party after the Three Great Wars. It was the last hope for a peaceful solution to the problems of China’s destiny and national future.
In the scene of the KMT-CPC peace talks, there is a period of negotiations between the leaders of the CCP Zhou Enlai and Zhang Zhizhong. Zhang Zhizhong, the chief negotiator of the Kuomintang, suddenly said: "The struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is a fraternal struggle!" Zhou Enlai immediately took the case and scolded: "This is a dispute between a revolution and a counterrevolution! Are you like that? Do you treat us like brothers? Your Kuomintang has killed thousands of Communists since 1927. This account is for the people to settle!" This is history, this is well-documented history, and this is also the first Once so true to the screen. Zhou Enlai's vocal remarks truly reflected the essence of the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Details and dialogues like this are the part of this movie that can most arouse people's thinking and soul shock. If there is any experience in this movie worth summarizing, it is how the movie truly reflects the essence of history.
For a long time, due to various reasons, our film and television works have become accustomed to call the dispute between the KMT and the Communist Party a "brotherhood dispute".In some film and television works, the lines of the generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party even often use "each for the master" to illustrate the struggle between the two parties. The complex and acute class dispute is described as a battle for hegemony in the world. There is no surprise in film and television creation. This film is the first time in decades that a Chinese film has so truly demonstrated the essence of the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This is worthy of full recognition. This point should be worthy of serious summary and discussion by the Chinese film industry and the entire literary and artistic circles.
The fate of ordinary people is organically integrated into history. In addition to the deepening of the image of leaders as described above, it is particularly worth mentioning that this work organically integrates the fate of ordinary people with major narratives.
Due to the changes in movie audiences, how to adapt to the aesthetic taste of young people has become a more important issue that Chinese movies have to think about. This film has carried out very meaningful exploration and practice precisely in this regard. The works not only make older audiences like it, but also make young audiences happy to watch and receive education in patriotism, and firmly believes that there would be no new China without the Communist Party. In a series of grand events such as intense spy battles, millions of heroes crossing the river, and talks with the Kuomintang, the work is very cleverly implanted in Mao Zedong’s guard captain Chen Youfu, 16-year-old guard Tian Erqiao, and Xinhua Radio announcer Meng Yu's story about these three young people. The details of their interaction with Mao Zedong add a lot to the whole work, which is the key plot that distinguishes this work from the previous creation of major themes. Among them, Mao Zedong matched the love between the guard leader Chen Youfu and the broadcaster Meng Yu, the plot of Mao Zedong's approval of Tian Erqiao's return to the hometown to visit relatives, and the scene of Mao Zedong's tears watching Tian Erqiao's bloody suicide note after Tian Erqiao died. The work produced a very strong shock. How to dig out the rich emotions of leaders in the creation of major revolutionary historical dramas, and how to express the emotional relationship between leaders and the people. "The Final Moment" provides a successful example, which makes the creation of major revolutionary historical dramas useful. A whole new vision.
"Decisive Moment" is a tribute work, but it has an overall guiding significance for the current film and television drama creation. It is an important harvest of the creation of major revolutionary historical works in recent years. It can be called a pioneering work. Excellent works of innovative significance. Especially in the exploration of how to deal with the complex situation of the market in this kind of subject matter, "Decisive Moment", whether in adhering to the correct ideological orientation, or in the perfect presentation of art, provides opportunities for contemporary film and other literary creations. Borrowed experience. It will also become a precious memory to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
