"None of us are wrong, we are just seeking different paths."
"This is the second time I have left."
"It is the thorny road for everyone, and it finally merges into a big river."
Narration of the finalized trailer As soon as these last four words come out, everyone can understand them at a glance, What drama is coming next?
The wait is finally here, "Dajiang Dahe 3", which is also the renamed "Dajiang Dahe: Time Cantabile".
If a person wants to succeed, he must take one step at a time and go through many difficulties and dangers.
Then if it is a generation, how many waves does it need to go through in order for an era to succeed?
I think this Chinese drama series created by Noon Sunshine is about this matter.
But this time, this story is finally coming to an end.
Yang 1 finally has the answer to which one is the real new year drama.
html The 533rd episode of "The Great Rivers of Time" has released a preview and officially announced that it will be on the cctv1 prime time slot starting from January 8. Tencent video webcast.
Not only Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, Dong Zijian, etc. return, but also Zhang Jianing, Liu Dan, Huang Jue, Xu Yajun, Fang Fangbin and other powerful actors help out. The number of powerful actors is no less than 8.
has listed CCTV’s annual dramas in previous years. Period dramas are the “constant winners” in terms of ratings.
Going further, for epic dramas such as "Enter Guandong" directed by Kong Sheng, the ratings of CCTV1 were once close to 11%.
There is also "Parental Love" directed by Kong Sheng, which is not only popular in China, but also broadcast overseas, and has been broadcast in more than 60 countries.
"Human World", which was broadcast the year before last, set a new high in CCTV's prime time period in the past eight years and became a phenomenon-level national drama.
So, director Kong Sheng, who has finally returned to this series, can he recreate the ratings miracle of period dramas this time with "The Great River"? Can it break through the high reputation of the first two films, which scored 8.8 on Douban?
Let’s take a look. What song is this rushing river singing this time?
1. Being beaten, dismissed, cheated, and having a stroke. The story of the protagonist group this time is quite exciting.
A good script is the soul of a good drama, and the scripts of the "Dajiang Dahe" series have always been reassuring. This time, It is still Tang Yao, the screenwriter of the first two films, who adapted it based on Anai's original work "The River Goes East".
Let’s briefly review the stories of the first two parts.
In 2018, "Dajiang Dahe 1" of Noon Sunshine was released.
In the story, the three main protagonists, rural college student Song Yunhui (played by Wang Kai), young village cadre Lei Dongbao (played by Yang Shuo), and self-employed Yang Xun (played by Dong Zijian), face different choices in life.
The fate of individuals combined with the changes of the times. One man walked out of the mountains and became the director of Donghai Factory. One led Xiaolei's family to make the collective economy prosperous, and the other relied on the individual economy to prosper.
This drama directed by Kong Sheng used simple images and emotions to present the collective memory of the Chinese people, and it was a great success.
not only received a score of 8.8 and multiple TV awards, but also achieved ratings of over 1 on two channels and more online broadcasts than expected.
years later, "Dajiang Dahe 2" was launched.
At the end of the second part, the three brothers all encountered a countercurrent in life.
Song Yunhui, who was not good at power struggles, was sent to a pesticide factory.
The enterprising Lei Dongbao was imprisoned for accepting bribes.
Self-employed Yang Xunze experienced the double blow of business failure and the death of his mother from cancer.
I think all viewers are like me, looking forward to the return of all the protagonists, especially Director Song.
But judging from the trailer, not only is the return of the king not that easy, but even the protagonist group is in a bigger dilemma:
ranks first, the male protagonist Song Yunhui.
is a hit at the beginning.
Although he was transferred to the pesticide factory, he still shined in his new position and led the workers to carry out process reforms.
Although his idea of setting up a factory is correct, independent research and development requires a lot of funds, which can only be solved by the pesticide factory itself, and breaking the old and establishing the new will inevitably touch the interests of the old employees.
Song Yunhui, who is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, although he was not plotted in the workplace this time, was directly beaten to the head by an old employee of the pesticide factory and ended up in the Public Security Bureau.
The process reform of pesticide factories also encountered difficulties because employees collectively tampered with the formula. The voiceover in the
trailer, "The county has decided to remove Song Yunhui from the post of factory director" and Wang Kai's depressed eyes in the play also highlight the huge dilemma the character faces this season.
How did Song Yunhui turn defeat into victory in the face of adversity and become the convincing "Song Yunhui" again? Undoubtedly the biggest suspense of the show.
is second, Lei Dongbao.
was removed from office+cheated+had a stroke.
Judging from the trailer, Lei Dongbao, who has always been determined to reform, encountered greater trouble this time.
Just after he was released from prison, he returned to Xiaoleijia Village to establish the Thunder Company collective enterprise and found a market for wires. He sets rules, runs tenders, engages in foreign trade, attracts investment, and has a taste of human kindness.
But the Xiaolei family at this time is no longer the Xiaolei family that he always said it was.
Not only did Lei Dongbao go head-to-head with his new colleagues and get fired from his position, but he also frequently clashed with others, eventually betraying everyone. There was a scene in the trailer where he faced dozens of villagers who were looking for trouble, and finally collapsed.
This obviously corresponds to the fate of most of the characters in the original work who suffered from betrayal and stroke.
However, many readers believe that the fate of Lao Lei in the original novel is too bleak. I don’t know if the script adaptation will make the character’s fate better.
ranked third, Yang Xun.
failed to start a business again and got married.
He failed to open a hotel in the previous movie, but this time he is targeting the emerging Internet. He cooperates with Liang Sishen, enters the field of e-commerce, and has a relationship with the Liang family. In the shadow of the business world, he has been trying to be a good person several times. He was still wandering between being a bad guy, and finally his cooperation with Liang Sishen was terminated because of an operation of "falsifying accounts".
Judging from the appearance of him kneeling with a bruised nose and face, it is very likely that he lost all his blood this time.
Finally, there is the new character Liang Sishen who was added last season. Although
tried its best to balance the interests of Luoda and Donghai in the joint venture, it was also forced to surrender during a cooperation friction. In the end, it compromised and used its own withdrawal to allow Donghai to resume safe production.
If the career lines of the protagonists are heartbreaking, then the love lines can be redeemed to some extent.
Judging from the trailer, Song Yunhui's relationship with Liang Sishen has also progressed after divorcing his wife Cheng Kaiyan, and there is a high probability that it will work out like at the end of the novel.
After Lei Dongbao lost his wife in the first part and remarried in the second part, he met Feng Xinxin, a woman who looked like his deceased wife, and then cheated on him. However, after the stroke, his second wife finally stayed with him.
Yang Xun and Ren Xiayou, who accompanied him all the way, achieved perfect cultivation.
It can be seen that the story of "Dajiang Dahe 3" is far from a cool drama about the return of the king, but it is magnificent enough.
After watching the trailer, you will find that although the frustrations of the protagonist group are greater than before, the vitality that permeates the faces of a generation and the aggressiveness that overflows the screen are still like splashing waves.
With the arrival of the finale, the three lines finally merged, the narrative became more and more full, the pattern gradually became larger, and it entered the era of great rivers. It is not difficult to imagine that this period drama will become more and more interesting as the plot unfolds.
2. Kong Sheng returns. The same flavor from the first film is back.
The chief director of "Dajiang Dahe 3" is Kong Sheng.
said that director Kong Sheng is returning, because the first part of the series was directed by Kong Sheng. The direction of the second part of
was handed over to Li Xue, another ace director of Noon Sunshine.
In this series finale, Kong Sheng returns to this series created by himself.
Among the directors of Chinese dramas, there are currently only three winners of the Grand Slam Director Award.
The first one is Zheng Xiaolong who filmed "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Mi Yue", etc.
The second one is Liu Jiang, who filmed "A Beautiful Era of Wife", "Before Dawn", etc.
And the third place is Kong Sheng.
In 2015, he won the Feitian Award for three works - "Parental Love", "All Quiet in Peking" and "Nirvana in Fire".
In 2016, he won the Magnolia Award with "Nirvana in Fire".
In 2020, he won the Golden Eagle Award for "Dajiang Dahe".
Among them, "Parental Love" has a score of 9.5 and is a well-deserved masterpiece.
"Nirvana in Fire" has a score of 9.4, which is also among the masterpieces.
plus "Crossing Guandong" and "Battle of Changsha" from earlier years, as well as the latest "Mountains and Seas".
As many as eight TV series directed by Kong Sheng have a score of 8.8 or above.
Among all the Chinese drama directors, the only one who can achieve this result is Zheng Xiaolong.
The other two directors of this show are also extraordinary.
Sun Molong once co-directed "Mountains and Seas" with Kong Sheng, and was also the chief director of the high-scoring film "I Am Yu Huanshui".
The young director Liu Hongyuan also co-directed "The Beginning".
Obviously, Noon Sunshine has used all its aces to make the final film of this series.
For a long time, the audience’s biggest complaint about period dramas is that the filming does not have the flavor of the era at all, especially with the participation of many popular celebrities and their faces full of makeup. How do they look like people of that era?
Don’t even think about it here in Kong Sheng.
In "Langya Bang", Kong Sheng used all-round details such as costumes, props, framing, scenery, lighting, etc. to make the entire drama full of a classical beauty.
In "Battle of Changsha", Kong Sheng used his simple and delicate style to restore the human world under the changes caused by the war.
He directed it. You said that the quality of the era would be overturned. Sorry, I don’t believe it.
3. The original cast returns, "Si Guoyi" joins, and Xu Yajun from "Shengtian Banzi" also comes
The third part features the return of one of the original cast members, even Kong Sheng returns, the three male protagonists are impossible No return.
Wang Kai continues to play the male lead Song Yunhui.
Judging from the trailer, he still looks calm and reserved.
But Song Yunhui, played by Wang Kai, actually changes in every film. From the passionate and progressive in the first season to the bold and capable in the second season, he has been growing. From the trailer of
Season 3 alone, the audience can see the character's struggle and transformation, especially the determined look in his eyes despite pain and frustration.
He has already been nominated for Magnolia twice with "Dajiang Dahe". Whether he can go one step further this time and win the nomination and win the TV drama is also a major highlight for me personally.
Yang Shuo, who has gained a reputation for his acting skills in "Pearl River Family", has returned to the role that made him shine. This time, there is a high probability that he will continue to shine.
After being released from prison, Lei Dongbao is still prosperous, but with a little more vicissitudes, he will experience greater ups and downs in life. I think there is quite a lot of room for Yang Shuo's acting skills to be used.
Finally, Dong Zijian plays self-employed Yang Xun. After experiencing many entrepreneurial setbacks, he cried and knelt down in the trailer, giving a convincing performance.
I think the performance of the three protagonists is reassuring enough.
What is also reassuring are the return of Lu Si, played by Li Guangjie, in the final chapter, and the hero Da Xun, played by Zhao Da.
What I am most concerned about is the four new actors added this season. The first two of
are of course "Guo Aunt" and "Guo Uncle".
The Chinese drama couple who shined in "The Beginning" were obviously directly included in this season, and they are still starring as husband and wife.
It seems that he should be the successor of Donghai Factory, and "Uncle Guo" has a bad temper this time, and "Aunt Guo" has been comforting him with kind words.
Hahahaha Noon Sunshine knows how to play its own tricks.
The third place is veteran actor Xu Yajun.
In "In the Name of the People", he shined as "Qi Tongwei, the half-son of Shengtian". This time he played the role of Liang Daolin, the father of the heroine Liang Sishen.
's left hand used an iron fist to stop his daughter's cooperation with Yang Xunxun, and his right hand gave his daughter a warm embrace after her frustration. He was of course a sure shot at playing this kind of role.
No. 4, Fang Bin, who amazed us in "The World".
This time his role is the new leader of Xiaolei Village. It is this role that constantly conflicts with Lei Dongbao. I can't wait to see the scene where he gets angry with Yang Shuo.
In addition to Zhang Jianing, Huo Qing, Song Jiateng and other powerful actors and actresses, they are also a link that the audience does not need to worry about.
4. Can period dramas reach the pinnacle of CCTV’s new year dramas? I watch a drama
So what do the audience need to worry about? To be honest, I think: no.
Although from the beginning to the end of the year, our process of watching dramas is often a process of disappointment again and again.
There are still many dramas due to overturning.
But I think that the possibility of "Dajiang Dahe 3" overturning is zero.
For a long time, this series has not only captured the basics of current period dramas, but has also become the standard for domestic period dramas.
It was "Dajiang Dahe 1" that showed the audience that period dramas can be so good.
In the Chinese drama market in recent years, period dramas have become the industry’s hottest hits.
Among them, there are also assists from period dramas such as "Mountains and Seas" directed by Kong Sheng.
If we say period dramas are the new king among Chinese dramas.
The period dramas of Noon Sun, especially the period dramas directed by Kong Sheng, are the trump card of this king.
Kong Sheng has always been best at period dramas that tell stories with dramatic timeline changes. Behind the spirit of those characters, they represent that era and the spiritual temperament contained in that era.
That is what the audience yearns for the most, or the most moving thing in period dramas.
The representative characters selected in "Dajiang Dahe" are also very characteristic and representative of the times.
Song Yunhui is a college student who resumed the college entrance examination in 1978. He represents the struggle history of a generation of intellectuals. The Donghai Chemical Plant where he works is a microcosm of state-owned enterprises.
Xiaoleijia Village, where Lei Dongbao is located, is a microcosm of the countryside.
Yang Xun represents the self-employed people who work hard in the sea.
The three careers of the three brothers respectively symbolized the three directions of the country's development at that time.
To use a sentence from the play to describe the true portrayal of their generation, that is: "Walking across the sea without stopping, punching the sky and breaking the tide."
In the grand historical background, the foothold is every ordinary person of individuals.
Their ups and downs of destiny have always resonated with the times.
As the ending of "Dajiang Dahe 3" is coming, the three people once again stood at a fork in the road of life. Where will they be taken by the current of time?
We have been waiting for almost 4 years, and we are finally going to see the staged ending of their story.
In the parallel universe, their struggle may still continue.
And the great river of the times is still rushing forward.
"Parental Love" directed by Kong Sheng at that time is full of extremely real and moving feelings, whether it is the sighing of the passage of time or the timeless aftertaste of daily life in the world.
If Kong Sheng is still the same Kong Sheng as before, then there is absolutely no chance of "Dajiang Dahe 3" overturning.
