The domestic dramas in August are so good that people can’t keep up with them.

The ancient costume-themed "Liu Zhou Ji " successfully made the audience addicted to the couple of Wang Churan and Zhang Wanyi. The combination of the female village leader and the King of Huaiyang is fresh and exciting enough.

The plot of the heroine losing her memory in the early stage also has a sense of joy, which is exciting and interesting.

Guo Qilin , Wu Zhenyu starring " Bian Shui Past " was unexpected. Originally, from the configuration to the plot setting, it was a bit unattractive, but I didn't expect the quality to far exceed expectations.

Guo Qilin once again proved to everyone that not all second-generation stars have bad acting skills.

's just-launched "Sifangguan" follows the route of a workplace comedy, with a variety of contrasting characters that make people laugh out loud.

Also broadcast on the same day as "Sifangguan" is CCTV's new drama "Towards the Southwest".

The theme of this drama is completely different from the previous ones. It is a typical war drama with the main theme. This type of work is the most common on CCTV. The

series has received strong support from Xinwen Network even before it was aired. After it was aired, the momentum was also quite rapid.

CCTV's current popular new dramas include "A Bright Future" and " Love in the Ordinary " from CCTV 8, but they are no match for CCTV's "Going to the Southwest".

took only 2 episodes to take the first place in ratings in the country. CCTV found a treasure.

One, three major problems at the beginning, facing the dilemma of liberating the southwest

The story background of this drama is set in 1949. At this time, the million-strong army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched a cross-river front and collapsed the Yangtze River defense line that the Central Government had worked hard to manage.

And Shanghai was quickly liberated. The only area waiting for liberation was the Southwest.

"Towards the Southwest" goes straight to the point, starting with the preparatory work for Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping to establish the Southwest Service Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The three major problems put the dilemma of Southwest in front of the audience straight to the point.

The first big problem is arranging troops.

Although the Southwest Bureau has not yet officially liberated the Southwest, it must be fully prepared.

The first major problem after liberation was to form a team of cadres. The central government clearly stated that they needed to build a team of more than 30,000 people. This meant that before entering the southwest, troops must be arranged in advance.

So Deng Xiaoping asked Chen Yi to find a way, but Chen Yi had just settled in Shanghai and needed a large number of manpower. He suggested that the team in front of the Shandong branch could fill this gap.

And Deng Xiaoping discovered many good talents in universities, and the problem of troop formation was solved.

The second biggest problem is material supply.

But what is more troublesome than finding people is finding supplies.

Since the combat method planned to liberate the Southwest is roundabout tactics, this means that they have to extend the original route to the Southwest in order to achieve the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.

As you can imagine, material supply has become a big problem.

At that time, most places in China had been liberated, but there were many wastes waiting to be developed, and development was needed everywhere. Even the East China Bureau where Chen Yi worked was unable to allocate more supplies to help them because of its new development plan.

This has become the most difficult problem for the Southwest Bureau.

But the reason why they prepared supplies in advance is ultimately due to inconvenient transportation, which is also a deep-rooted legacy problem, namely:

The third major problem is the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway.

From the feudal period to the Beiyang government and then to Chiang Kai-shek's administration, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway has never been repaired. This is also the reason why the Southwest is barren and has not developed.

As a native of Sichuan, Deng Xiaoping was naturally the person who most hoped to solve the traffic problem and develop his hometown.

So when he found Chen Yi to solve the problem of material supply, he also specifically asked him about the possibility of building the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway.

The other party recommended Chen Xiuhe, a fellow of Deng Xiaoping, to him. Faced with Deng Xiaoping's desire to quickly build the railway, Chen Xiuhe poured cold water on him.

Generally speaking, it takes three to five years to prepare, and even if you hurry up, it will take two years.

Another practical problem faced Deng Xiaoping and others. Even if the Southwest was liberated, judging from the speed of railway construction, it would take at least two years to develop. It was too slow.

But Chen Xiuhe also tried his best to help solve the problem, and also invited back Chinese railway experts who studied abroad. The first two episodes of

laid the background for "Going to the Southwest", but they also made the audience understand that under the background at that time, although most of China had been liberated, liberating the southwest was still a tough battle.

2, a new cast, veteran actors and actresses with amazing acting skills.

The historical and realistic plot is indeed very attractive, but the cast of this drama is the real plus point.

Because before this, as long as the actors were cast in war dramas with the main theme, they would definitely look for Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin and others, so that their images were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But over time, it will also make people aesthetically tired. This drama has chosen a brand-new lineup, but most of them are "familiar" to the audience.

ranked first, An Rongsheng.

The protagonist Deng Xiaoping in the play is played by An Rongsheng, who has portrayed this image several times before.

From the appearance to the temperament to the acting skills, everything is like a real person, with a sense of realism.

An Rongsheng portrayed this character in a very down-to-earth way, especially in the scene where he asked Chen Yi for help. He first praised the other party and watched him eat the sauced duck he took.

turned around and told the other party that he had to help after eating the duck. The character's cleverness and intelligence instantly gave him a foothold.

ranked second, Liu Zhibing .

Veteran drama star Liu Zhibing plays Liu Bocheng, which can be said to be completely stress-free, because in "Marshal Liu Bocheng", a drama series that mainly features Liu Bocheng, Liu Zhibing plays the role.

As a national first-class actor, his strength should not be underestimated. The integrity of the military and the sense of majesty exuding from his whole body are very convincing.

ranked third, Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong, who I haven’t seen for a long time, has also appeared in this drama. I believe everyone has seen his role as a monk in " Bright Sword ", and he is also a professional on military themes.

In the play, Zhang Tong appears carrying a marching bag and wearing a military uniform. He still looks familiar. He has a carefree personality and a sharp gaze. Just standing there, you can tell that he must be a soldier.

In addition, actors such as Wang Like, Zhang Xilin, Qi Kui, Niu Junfeng have joined, forming a full-strength lineup.

Conclusion

The main theme war drama is not easy to shoot. It must not only present the war scenes, but also be based on reality. It is also difficult to add the personal touch of the director and screenwriter when creating film and television.

But this "Going to the Southwest" tells historical facts while integrating the details of the lives of these great people, which immediately makes the plot full of life.

A good drama like this can make the audience enter the drama.
