As we all know, CCTV production must be a high-quality product.

No matter what kind of drama, Yang Ma can come up with new tricks.

Science fiction dramas are difficult to film. One " Three Body " opened the door to domestic science fiction. Spy war dramas fell into silence. One "Storm Chaser" made a comeback. The main theme drama is difficult to break through. One " Mountain Flower" "Romantic Time " has achieved double success in terms of ratings and word-of-mouth.

But when it comes to the genre that Yangma is best at, it is revolutionary historical dramas.

From " Long March " to "Awakening Age" to "Ask the Vast", it has steadily gained reputation and never failed.

At present, another revolutionary historical drama is being broadcast on Central Television -

" Northwest Years ".

Can this drama once again set off the climax of the revolutionary historical drama?

only aired 2 episodes, and the ratings broke 2. The answer was given by the remote control in the hands of the audience.

So, is it possible for this drama to surpass classic historical dramas such as " The Awakening Age "? Without further ado, let’s watch together -

The plot is fascinating, recreating the past in the Northwest

"Northwestern Years" relives the past of the Beacon Revolution in the Northwest, telling the story of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries liberating and building the Northwest. Stories of great achievements.

How to show this great history in detail?

At the beginning of the series, the director restored that turbulent era from two angles.

First, people’s lives are difficult.

In 1927, the Great Revolution went from climax to failure. The new warlord stationed in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province caused the massacre of the village in Huxian County.

The boss of Xi Zongde (played by Cheng Taishen ) sent his nephew to Hu County to ask for a loan. More than 100 pieces of ocean were robbed by the warlord. Everyone worked without money and left angrily. Only Xi Zongde was left to comfort the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper complained that the world was unfair, but there was nothing he could do about it. At the same time, Xi Zongde received news that his son Xi Zhongxun ( Wu Lei ) was admitted to a normal university.

Xi Zongde was very happy, but his family had no money to worry about his son’s food and clothing expenses, so he simply asked the old shopkeeper for wages. Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper was forced to hang himself because of the loan sharking.

Only then did Xi Zongde understand why his son said that the world was about to eat people.

Secondly, it is difficult to stick to the faith.

Young Xi Zhongxun actively participated in patriotic student activities at the university, but was targeted by the anti-communist training director and arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang authorities.

Faced with various threats and inducements, Xi Zhongxun stuck to his original intention and obtained the approval of the prison party organization to join the Communist Party.

On the other side, Liu Zhidan, who was then the National Revolutionary Army, was facing a life and death decision.

Give up communism, use high salary and reuse, adhere to communism, and send gifts out of the country.

Liu Zhitansi did not hesitate, stood up and said to leave, but the officer opposite took out a pistol and put it on his head.

If you stay and enjoy all the glory and wealth, if you go out, you will die. After a gunshot, Liu Zhidan opened the door and boarded the train where he was presented with gifts.

History and personal destiny will soon change again.

Behind a period of history lies the arduous journey of many people. The series truly restores every historical detail and captures the difficulties and persistence faced by people at that time. This is also the highlight of "Northwest Years".

At this time, the northwest land is undergoing great changes and is still in the fog of history. How does this land develop and where does the road come from? "Northwestern Years" will be presented to the audience step by step.

The cast is luxurious and the acting skills are wonderful. is a revolutionary historical drama with the main theme, and the vivid and three-dimensional characters are the foundation of the entire drama.
The cast of "Northwest Years" can be considered a ceiling-level existence, with Li Xuejian, Zhang Songwen, Ni Dahong, Yang Lixin, Hu Jun, Jin Dong and other powerful actors joining the cast.
However, the actors who appeared in the first two episodes are undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
ranked first, Yu Hewei.
From "The Age of Awakening" to "The Three-Body Problem", it would be redundant to comment on Yu Hewei's acting skills. In the new drama, he is as stable as ever.
Yu Hewei's performance is light and effortless, with a quiet sense of power.
Faced with the threat from the officer, he calmly reviewed everything that happened before him and left the sentence "I will only follow the revolution." Although there is thunder in the heart, the face is as flat as a lake. This is the aura and the chance of winning.
’s firm eyes make people feel respectful after seeing him. There is no need to say more about the bloody spirit that is determined to live and die with faith. The essence of the role of
needs to be played by Yu Hewei.
The second place is Cheng Taishen.
Cheng Taishen is recognized by the audience as a powerful actor, and has performed brilliantly in "Inspection Team" and "In the World".
In "Northwest Years", his performance was equally brilliant. Cheng Taishen played the role of Xi Zhongxun's father sending his son to school. When he said goodbye, his eyes were red and he told his son to study honestly and not to follow the revolution, and his voice gradually choked up.
The helplessness and despair of the lower-level people in troubled times were vividly performed by Cheng Taishen, which also made the character more fulfilling.
The third place is Liu Lin.
Liu Lin is an actor who can play supporting roles better than the protagonist.
In the new drama, she plays Xi Zhongxun's mother. This role has always been around farm work, which is easy for people to ignore, but Liu Lin has played the role as the embodiment of that generation of mothers.
had no money to send her children to school and could only sell donkeys. She packed up the fodder without saying a word. Her son was considerate of his parents and said that he would not go to school. She put down what she was doing and performed multiple complex emotions such as joy, sadness and helplessness with one look.
The image of a low-level woman was brought to life by Liu Lin.
fourth place, Wu Lei.
In "Northwestern Years", Wu Lei plays the young Xi Zhongxun.
Originally I was still worried about his performance. After watching two episodes, I think no one is more suitable for this role than Wu Lei.
When Wu Lei played this role, he brought a kind of youthful loyalty and innocence, and a feeling of natural carving. This is the chemistry between the actor and the character.
Especially when he took the oath to join the party, his eyes were bright, and his passion for revolution was also very strong. Wu Lei's performance brought a lot of surprises to the audience.
The wonderful performances of these actors make each character fuller, making this period of history more vivid, and it is also a key part of ensuring the excellent quality of the series.

Conclusion:

Why can "Northwestern Years" win the favor of the audience? In my opinion, it does both.

First of all, he jumped out of the "Wei Guangzheng" routine.

Most dramas with the same theme can easily fall into the trap of false and empty creation, blindly showing the greatness of the victory of the revolution.

"Northwestern Years" places the story at the point after the failure of the Great Revolution, and shows the hardships of the revolution through the difficulties faced by ordinary people, progressive youth and other groups.

Secondly, restore the real era.

From the scenery to the costumes and props, "Northwestern Years" recreates that era in all aspects. All details can withstand scrutiny and test. The stories of those great people also make the audience empathize.
