"In the cold autumn of independence, heading north to the Xiangjiang River, at the head of Orange Island..." At the head of Orange Island where Mao Zedong once sent his inquiries, all the guests recited the famous lines of "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" and paid tribute to the statue of young Mao Zedong and presented flowers. The scene The atmosphere was warm and solemn.
At the exchange meeting, Zhao Chengxin said that the launch of the TV series "Ask the Cangmang" is to express the deep memory of Comrade Mao Zedong from the people across the country. Through this TV series, we can have a deeper understanding of Comrade Mao Zedong's great historical contributions to the party and the people. We have a deeper understanding of the practical power of the “first combination” of the “two combinations” in China. The portraits of revolutionaries from Hunan such as Mao Zedong, Yang Kaihui, He Shuheng, Jiang Xianyun, Cai Hesen, etc. depicted in the play well demonstrate the spiritual qualities of Hunan people who are concerned about the world, dare to be the first, and have the courage to contribute, and write a story that highlights the spirit of Hunan. The wonderful picture scroll will help us further tell the story of Hunan and enhance our ideological and political leadership.
Gong Zhengwen said that "Ask the Cangmang" is independently planned and controlled by Hunan Radio and Television, and is produced by Xiaoying Group Dangran Pictures. As early as 2021, Hunan Radio and Television began to conceive and create a TV series to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birth. This drama focuses on young Mao Zedong's revolutionary struggle experience from 1921 to 1927. Previous film and television works have rarely concentrated on it, so "Ask the Cangmang" has the function of filling in the gaps and completing the puzzle. The play highlights the distinctive characteristics of the young Mao Zedong with his firm Marxist beliefs, such as "taking root downwards and growing upwards; integrating knowledge and action, with strong execution ability; treating official position and money like dirt, and being loyal to revolutionary ideals". In order to make the play more accessible to young people, the writer and director perfectly combined the rigor of historians with the imagination of artists. The title of the play "Asking the Vast" comes from the soul torture of the young Mao Zedong in "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" "Asking the vast land, who is responsible for the ups and downs?" The original meaning has a different meaning.
Wang Zhiyong believes that this is a youthful TV series that provides reference for the majority of young people who are currently struggling; this is a TV series that advocates ideals and allows us to clearly appreciate the character, atmosphere, structure and style of that generation. This is also a TV series that fills the gap in major revolutionary historical themes, conveys the great spirit of party founding, and reflects the spiritual pedigree of the Communists.
Talking about the shaping of the image of young Mao Zedong, actor Wang Renjun shared: "A great man is not born a great man. He has a process of continuous growth. What we present is the repeated exploration and practice of the great man in this process. In playing Mao Zedong In the process, I was constantly impressed by his mind, enlightened by his wisdom, shocked by his emotions, and ignited by his passion. I felt that his wisdom and spirit were inexhaustible."
screenwriter Weng Liangping and Han Chenchen said: "This drama groundbreakingly presents many details of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, such as Mao Zedong's exclusion when serving in the Kuomintang, etc. It also provides an in-depth look at Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, Li Da and other figures. Excavation and character portrayal. It is through such historical restoration that "Ask the Cangmang" answers the questions of the times and further strengthens our confidence in our path."
