After going round and round, domestic historical dramas have finally ushered in a new spring.
In fact, the space for historical themes to be used is no less than other themes.
History + spy war, history + love, history + war, etc. It can be seen that historical dramas can also be extended into different branches to meet the various demands of the audience.
Among the popular dramas currently on the air, one of the "history + espionage" dramas is "Storm Chaser".
Even the popular niche Wang Yibo refreshed the audience's understanding of his acting skills with this drama. The plot has also been discussed by the audience, which shows that this subject is still a hot topic in the market.
In addition, there is also a highly anticipated "Lone Boat" in the upcoming drama. After all, Zhang Songwen is personally in charge, Chen Duling, Zeng Shunxi and other young actors have joined the cast, and the lineup is evident.
Of course, the fusion of espionage and historical themes also protects the reputation of the plot. I believe that as long as it is broadcast smoothly, the popularity will not be worse than "Storm Chaser".
However, instead of waiting for "Lone Boat", the audience was waiting for a pure historical war drama.
The ratings of "Our Team Go to the Sun" have skyrocketed since its launch. It was not a problem even to break through 1.5 at the peak. You can imagine how popular it is.
After watching 6 episodes in one go, I concluded that this drama can bring historical dramas to a new milestone!
01 Full of tension and interesting plots
"Our Team Goes to the Sun" revolves around the historical battle that lasted more than two years from February 1947 to the liberation of the country.
mainly tells the story of how, under the leadership of Chairman Mao (played by Tang Guoqiang), our army reorganized the Yang Luogeng Corps, actively cooperated with the Liaoshen Campaign in the Northeastern battlefield, echoed with other battlefields, and finally achieved victory in the battle.
Although the audience knows this series of historical events, from the specific details to the heroes participating in the battle to the strategic deployment, film and television dramas still need to be presented to the audience through artistic processing.
Because history is always worth remembering.
The reason why this new drama can firmly capture the audience's attention is that two plots underpin the plot.
First, the opening is brain-burning, and the rain is about to come.
At the beginning of the story, the camera shows the combat deployment scenes of Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek intended to reach the east of Zhangjiakou.
The main force of Sun Lianzhong's 11th War Zone and the main force of Fu Zuoyi's 11th War Zone to the west are facing each other. While seizing Zhangjiakou, they also plan to eliminate the main force of our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region.
However, facing the advantage of the Kuomintang's 11 armies and 38 divisions, totaling 330,000 people, the chairman came up with a strategy to defeat the enemy -
break out of the military encirclement and fight to the outside.
Then concentrate the superior forces to capture three routes and four cities.
This is just a battle, is it really so easy to fight?
Second, high-energy reversal, want to advance but first suppress.
This battle with Datong is too difficult.
There is a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, and Datong is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Fu Zuoyi borrowed Chiang Kai-shek's "east wind" and became even more aggressive. The war situation has undoubtedly reached an anxious stage. What to do with
? Use retreat to advance.
Our army had no choice but to retreat, but viewers familiar with this battle know that this does not mean the end.
The war on the North China Plain has just begun.
Seeing that the previous plot has given enough foreshadowing, I am even more looking forward to the guerrilla tactics that follow and the strategic maneuvering of large corps in the Battle of Pingjin.
It can be said that this new drama paints a magnificent picture of historical war in a realistic way.
Moreover, the plot has ups and downs and the pace progresses rapidly. Looking at the current domestic drama market, it is difficult to find such high-quality masterpieces.
Sure enough, you can always believe in "CCTV Strict Selection"!
02 There are a lot of actors and actresses, and the acting skills are awesome.
For a historical drama with such a heavy subject matter, actors and actresses are indispensable.Moreover, "Our Team Goes to the Sun" also invited many special actors, each of whom is better than the last.
ranks first, Tang Guoqiang.
When talking about Chairman Mao in domestic dramas, I think many viewers, like me, automatically think of Tang Guoqiang’s face in their minds.
He may not be the actor whose appearance is closest to the image of the chairman, but Tang Guoqiang gives this character a different temperament and style.
When he stood in front of the camera, with a sharp look in his eyes, the aura of a great man came to his face. When
analyzed the battle situation, the chairman's calmness and domineering spirit also came to life under Tang Guoqiang's interpretation.
uses one word to describe his state: is at ease.
With Tang Guoqiang, this drama is more than half stable.
ranked second, Wang Wufu.
This veteran actor is no stranger to the audience. He has been playing the role of Mr. Zhu for 45 years and has long since reached the point where he and the character become one.
In the new drama, he faced the unfavorable situation of the Battle of Datong with a calm attitude, as if he had seen through everything.
Others can see one step at a time, but Mr. Zhu may be able to see a hundred steps at ten steps. He has long understood the reality that the battle situation was only truly clear after the defeat of the Battle of Datong.
Wang Wufu's performance is down-to-earth and humane, making Mr. Zhu come alive.
The third place is Liu Jin.
How come Liu Jin is missing from the historical drama "Iron Triangle"?
National first-class actor Liu Jin’s interpretation of the role of Premier Zhou Enlai has reached the level of "both physical and spiritual". In
's new drama, he will naturally continue to challenge Premier Zhou's image.
In fact, he doesn't even need to be in the drama. When he wears the Chinese tunic suit, his whole person has the color of a great man.
ranked fourth, Ma Xiaowei.
In addition to the image of a great man, the role of the villain Chiang Kai-shek was given to experienced actor Ma Xiaowei to interpret.
I believe it is not difficult for the audience to see why the director invited him to play this role. Whether it is appearance or temperament, Ma Xiaowei is 70-80% similar to Chiang Kai-shek.
The remaining shortcomings are made up by the actors' acting skills. In just a few episodes of
, Ma Xiaowei has mastered the character's suspicious personality and ruthless tactics very well. There must be more exciting performances waiting for the audience in the subsequent plots.
03 Conclusion
Why is it that the historical war dramas are filmed one after another and the audience never gets tired of watching them?
This is the charm of historical themes.
Looking back on the past, I am filled with emotion.
What we can taste from history will change as we grow older. The existence of any story has profound meaning to the audience.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is because everyone’s hearts are always toward red, and our team is always toward the sun.
So even if I know the ending, I still can't help but continue to watch the great people fighting hard.
kernel , the most lacking highlight of domestic dramas.
But it is also the most indispensable thing in historical dramas.
Historical themes may have gradually withdrawn from the competitive circle of mainstream themes, but they are still indispensable for domestic dramas.
hopes that "Our Ride to the Sun" can lead historical dramas back into the mainstream and win again.
So what do you think about this?
