From February 26, cctv -8 will start broadcasting in prime time. "The way forward".

It is understood that "All the Way" is jointly produced by Chengdu Media Group and its subsidiary Chengdu Tianfu Film Co., Ltd., directed by the famous director Xi Xin, and starring the powerful actor Li Jian. It is the only film in the history of the construction of New China with the theme "The First Miracle" - a TV series with the theme of Chengdu-Chongqing Railway.
The construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway spans a long time and is a grand project. How to make the work deeply rooted in people's hearts without losing the flavor of fireworks?

The past of building railways and "catching spies"
The biggest challenge faced by "All the Way" in the script creation stage is how to make the maximum possible while "keeping integrity" and is appropriate and reasonable of innovation. Director Xi Xin said that the story and character background of the play must be created strictly based on historical facts. Its time background is between the spring of 1950 and the summer of 1952. These two deep-seated points determine the story structure of "All the Way" In terms of design and design, there cannot be too much room for maneuvering.
"We cannot put aside the fundamentals of creation to blindly emphasize the newness, strangeness and uniqueness of the story. Unlike commercial TV series, there is huge room for imagination in the design of the story. What I want to emphasize most is that these ten There are ordinary people, but their lives are extraordinary; they are all small people, but they have made great achievements in history. Their stories are powerful and powerful, and their lives are enough to be praised by future generations." Xi Xin said.
Therefore, how to refine the characters’ personalities more accurately and fully, how to refine the thrilling stories in real history, and how to try more different lens arrangements during the filming process are the keys to the innovative breakthrough of "All the Way".
What is eye-catching is that the main line of "All the Way" is the past of building railways and "catching spies".
"We will create a big event at the Communist Party's Yongchuan opening ceremony." "We must make the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway a dead end." As soon as these lines in the trailer of "All the Way Forward" come out, you can feel to a tense and suspenseful plot. The railway soldiers also responded to this: "Building the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is an unprecedented thing. We have to do things that our predecessors did not dare to do and could not do."
The bridge is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. How to fight back against enemies in the dark? Undoubtedly the most brain-burning part of the show. The constant action scenes and tense and thrilling atmosphere in the trailer also make this large-scale cat-and-mouse game of "the enemy is dark and we are clear" even more bizarre. The exciting action scenes further enhance the look and feel of the entire drama.
In the end, the destruction by enemy agents did not stop the railway from moving forward, and natural geological disasters did not defeat Luo Xiangqiang. In July 1952, the entire Chengdu-Chongqing Railway was opened to traffic. The history of not having an inch of railway track in Sichuan was ended.
