There is no doubt that "Yang Ma" is the leading figure in Chinese dramas. Let’s not talk about
, just look at this year. CCTV has steadily output many hit movies such as " Blossoms ", " Celebrating More Than Years 2", " The Story of Roses ".
However, CCTV’s trump card - period dramas have not yet appeared.
Highly praised period dramas in the past few years, such as " Human World ", " The Glory of Our Fathers", " Dajiang Dahe", etc. are all produced by CCTV.
But although the ratings of "South to North", which was broadcast this year, were good, its reputation was far behind the classics.
Don't worry, CCTV still has a lot of inventory. Period dramas such as " Six Sisters " and " Going North " will soon be available to the audience.
At present, there is another period drama that has been launched first_
" Boiling Mountains " (formerly known as "See Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red") will be launched on cctv-8 at 21:30 tonight. Audiences who love to watch period dramas are in luck.
Focus on realistic themes and catch people's attention
Most period dramas focus on fireworks and use the ups and downs of a family's fate to bring out the changes of an era. "Parents Love" and "In the World" are all of this type.
However, some viewers feel that period dramas are just clichés and not interesting enough, so this time they can be arranged.
"Boiling Mountains" chose a grand theme: the transformation of resource-exhausted cities.
Judging from the existing materials, the plot has two major highlights that are enough to catch the audience's attention.
First, it is human destiny.
The story takes place at the end of the last century. Guizhou Wanshan Special Zone is facing a desperate situation due to the depletion of mercury resources. The lives of mercury mine workers are forced to undergo a huge change.
Feng Baiyang (played by Bao Jianfeng), the third generation of mercury mine workers, is trying to lead the transformation of the factory and revive the glory of the mercury mine. However, this process was extremely difficult, and Feng Baiyang faced one after another natural and man-made disasters.
The tide of state-owned enterprise reform has put 20,000 employees in dire straits. A once-in-a-century freeze disaster not only interrupts production, but may also cause secondary disasters. The hearts of Wanshan people have dropped to freezing point like the weather.
"No matter what kind of hardships you encounter, you should face them head on."
The fate of the mercury mine's transformation fell on Feng Baiyang, and Feng Baiyang's fate as an ordinary person can always bring the audience the deepest emotions. resonance.
The second is the fate of "mountain".
From the end of the last century to the present, China has undergone tremendous changes, and the chemical industry has also developed rapidly in the wave.
When the mercury mining resources are exhausted, people in Wanshan Special Zone are also facing survival problems. Some people choose to go out, while others choose to stay and lead the transformation of the mercury mining industry.
The people of Wanshan worked hard and worked hard to realize transformation and development based on technological innovation and green development, and a city with depleted resources was reborn from the ashes.
Behind the changes in the mercury mine compound are the changes of the times. Times have changed, and the audience will see the challenges and opportunities faced by people in the new era.
Like most period dramas, "Boiling Mountains" tells the story of people's fate and choices under the great changes of the times.
What kind of changes the efforts of a generation can bring to this place depends on how the story in the feature film develops.
The main creators are strong, and the cast is strong.
htmlIf a 0's drama wants to be successful, it must have a reliable main creator.The team behind "Boiling Mountains" gave the audience a piece of reassurance.
director Zhang Duofu has mastered many Chinese drama classics such as "Heroes Without Tears", "My Name is King Tutu", "Mother Like a Flower", etc., and his strength is extraordinary.
Screenwriter Ouyang Qiansen is known as "a writer who has gone deep into poverty alleviation". After getting involved in film and television, he served as a screenwriter for "Xiongguanmandao" and won many awards such as the Golden Eagle Award and Feitian Award. His work was well received by the audience.
With these two creators working together to create "Boiling Mountains", I'm afraid it will be difficult not to watch it.
Of course, there is another key to the success of a drama: actors.
If the actors' acting skills are good, there will be an overall chemical reaction like "Parental Love", and the acting skills of the whole drama will explode.
In this regard, there is no need to worry about "Boiling Mountains", its cast is very strong.
is the first, Bao Jianfeng.
Former Bao Jianfeng was also the "Youth Idol Leader".
As he gets older, Bao Jianfeng's acting skills become more and more calm and majestic. The emperor he plays in dramas such as "Meng Hua Lu" and "Brilliant Star" has his own magnanimity, leaving a deep impression on the audience even if he does not have many roles.
In "Boiling Mountains", Bao Jianfeng plays the male protagonist Feng Baiyang. In the trailer, he is dressed simply, letting the snowflakes fall on his head, and his eyes are full of determination without fear of difficulties.
With one shot, the image of an ordinary hero stood up instantly. With him playing this role, the drama became stable.
is second, Zhang Li.
Zhang Li's acting style is varied. In "Beijing Youth" she was the cold and beautiful Lilac, and in "The Flowers of the Heart" she was the intellectual and cold Siqing. Zhang Li can perform the essence of various roles.
In the new drama, Zhang Li subverts her previous image and plays the role of Lin Fangfei, a female rural cadre.
Zhang Li in the trailer is sitting in the middle of the crowd, explaining the transformation to the masses. Her down-to-earth appearance is exactly the same as the image of female cadres in life. This role is given to Zhang Li, and the director has found the right person.
ranks third, He Zhengjun.
When it comes to He Zhengjun, the first thing that everyone thinks of is Zhao Gang, who he played in "Bright Sword".
He excellently interpreted the character's civil and military temperament, and performed the character's calm personality and handling style, which formed a clear contrast with Li Yunlong's character, making the whole drama more exciting. After
, He Zhengjun also showed extraordinary acting skills in dramas such as "Across the Yalu River" and "The Final Battle". With him joining the cast in the new drama, the audience can get into the drama faster.
ranked fourth, Kou Zhenhai.
Audiences don’t have to worry about this drama star’s acting skills.
As early as in "Love in the Rain", Lu Zhenhua played by Kou Zhenhai left a deep impression on the audience.
The selfish, arrogant and feudalistic side of the character is perfectly played by Kou Zhenhai. The less likable the character is, the more it proves Kou Zhenhai’s superb acting skills.
Even though there is no scene of Kou Zhenhai in the trailer of the new drama, with his acting skills, he can handle any role, so everyone can wait and see the good show.
In addition, there are also many powerful actors such as Wang Ting, Fang Xiaoli, Han Dong, Cao Yi joining the cast. It is no exaggeration to say that "Boiling Mountains" is also an acting award.
Conclusion:
Can "Boiling Mountains" become a ratings dark horse?
Back to the subject matter itself - period dramas with realistic themes. For many viewers, this is not a flattering type of Chinese drama.
But the great thing about CCTV is that it can repeatedly subvert the audience's understanding of Chinese dramas.
Take "Mountains and Seas" as an example. The theme of poverty alleviation is not a hit, but it has become a hit in the hands of CCTV. Reyza also won Feitian TV with this drama.
Let’s see if “Boiling Mountains” has this ability.
's story is attractive enough, the actors' acting skills are guaranteed, and with the support of CCTV's eight sets, the data is naturally indispensable. It just depends on whether this drama can win the favor of the audience and become a "popular".
Are you looking forward to the broadcast of this drama?
