In the end, the show received a great rating and became a veritable phenomenon.

After that, the momentum of revolutionary historical dramas continued to rise.

From " Hundreds Tempered into Steel ", " Decisive Battle " to "Ask the Cangmang", each one has a good reputation.

And just recently, another revolutionary historical drama " Northwest Years " was broadcast on CCTV1.

And it can be seen from the lineup of this drama that it is aimed at the "King of Dramas" in the second half of this year.

Why do you say that?

This play is a key play for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Director Dong Yachun has directed works such as " The Eighth Route Army " and " Crossing the Yalu River ".

is written by Long Pingping, the screenwriter of the TV series "Age of Awakening".

also lived up to expectations after it was aired. The ratings exceeded 2 for 3 consecutive days, with the highest rating of 2.29.

After watching the current drama series, Qingshi dares to say:

This drama is another high-quality revolutionary historical drama after "The Awakening Age" and will be popular all over the country.

. It goes hand in hand with both characters, while restoring history. This revolutionary historical drama is quite enjoyable.

The background of the story of "Northwestern Years" is the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup. Chiang Kai-shek rebelled against the revolution, and the revolutionary situation was in danger.

Against this background, the drama focuses on two young revolutionaries, Xi Zhongxun and Liu Zhidan, and unfolds the plot through two story lines.

The first is the revolutionary story line of young Xi Zhongxun.

On April 12, 1927, the Kuomintang launched a counterrevolutionary coup.

Members of the Communist Party of China were massacred and massacred by the Kuomintang reactionaries. Li Dazhao, the important founder of the Communist Party of China, died heroically.

News of Li Dazhao’s death spread to Fuping County, a small county in Shaanxi.

At this time, the seed called faith has taken root in the heart of young Xi Zhongxun (played by Wu Lei).

He and his classmates commemorated the revolutionary martyr Li Dazhao, shouted "Mr. Shouchang will never die", and also stood up and cursed in person those who had left the party.

Later, after the young Xi Zhongxun was admitted to Sanyuan Normal University, he launched a student movement with his classmates in school and was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang.

In order to force him to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, the reactionaries even beat his father in front of him, hoping to use family affection to coerce him into betraying his comrades.

However, in the face of the authorities’ interrogation and coercion, the young Xi Zhongxun remained extremely firm. His firm belief was finally recognized by the organization and became a member of the Communist Party.

After this, young Xi Zhongxun was released and was appointed by the organization to secretly carry out military movement work and became a true revolutionist.

The second is Liu Zhidan’s revolutionary uprising story line.

While young Xi Zhongxun is pursuing the path of communist truth, Liu Zhidan (played by Yu Hewei) on the other side is also facing a choice.

Liu Zhidan was an officer of the Fourth Route Army of the Second Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. He was "recruited" by the Kuomintang after the Kuomintang anti-communism in 1927.

Faced with the choice of staying and having good food and clothing, but having a gun pointed at his head if he left, Liu Zhidan, as a member of the Communist Party, still chose to leave.

But Liu Zhidan knew that the other party would not let them leave so easily, so he told his fellow soldiers on the train:

The next stop is our only chance to escape. Only by escaping can we have a chance to regroup with the team. Reactionary struggle.

Under Liu Zhidan’s call, countless iron-blooded men officially rose up to fight for their beliefs and for their motherland.

Later Liu Zhidan and Xie Zichang joined forces to lead the Weihua Uprising and launched a fierce struggle with the reactionaries.

Later, young Xi Zhongxun led his team to find Liu Zhidan and joined the ranks of the Northwest Red Army, starting a story of joint struggle for the cause of the Chinese revolution.

As can be seen from the above plot, "Northwestern Years" does not stick to the grand narrative framework, but focuses on the portrayal of individual destiny.

shows their different struggles in the same historical period but in different regions, while also connecting those familiar historical events in series.

For example, Mao Zedong’s Autumn Harvest Uprising and the Liangdang Mutiny led by Xi Zhongxun, etc., all of which quickly brought the audience into an era full of turmoil and change.

, Jin Dong and Yu Hewei lead the starring roles. There are many talented actors and their acting skills are so exciting.

In addition to the plot, the biggest highlight of "Northwestern Years" is that the cast is too luxurious.

Jin Dong and Yu Hewei starred in the film, and also invited 20 powerful actors including Ding Yongdai, Wu Lei, Ni Ni, Yan Bingyan, Liu Lin, and Ni Dahong.

Even the supporting characters are all acting talents like Li Xuejian and Zhang Songwen. It is truly the work of Yang Ma.

In the four episodes currently aired, there are at least four actors who have impressed Qingshi deeply.

first place: Yu Hewei.

Needless to say, Yu Hewei’s acting skills are also very familiar with revolutionary historical dramas.

Whether it is Chen Duxiu in "The Age of Awakening" or Lin Biao in "The Great Battle", each one is interpreted wonderfully.

In this drama, Yu Hewei plays Liu Zhidan, a famous soldier of our party.

Unlike Chen Duxiu, who revolutionized with a pen in "The Age of Awakening", Liu Zhidan is a general who has been on the battlefield.

As soon as Yu Hewei appeared on the scene, he simply couldn't play the role too well.

Faced with the threats and inducements from the Kuomintang, Liu Zhidan remained calm and said "I will only follow the revolution" softly but firmly.

quietly showed the character's heroic yet calm demeanor.

Later in the scene on the train leading the soldiers to choose a battle, Yu Hewei was very expressive from his lines to his expressions.

is exactly the image of a proletarian revolutionary who dares to fight for the country and the people.

Second place: Cheng Taishen.

In the first two episodes, the performance of veteran actor Cheng Taishen also left a deep impression on the audience.

He plays the role of Xi Zhongxun’s father. As soon as he appears in coarse cloth, wearing a melon cap and carrying a pipe, he immediately establishes his image as a simple laborer.

was watching the old shopkeeper commit suicide because his money was taken away by the warlord. His sad emotions and rickety back made the little man's sorrow concrete.

The most exciting thing is that Cheng Taishen performed a father's love and care for his children.

After hearing that his son Xi Zhongxun was going to make a revolution, he cried and told Xi Zhongxun that he should study hard and not let him take risks because he was unwilling to give up.

You can feel the father's heartache for his children through the screen, and he vividly interprets the seven words "poor parents in the world".

Later, his son was arrested. He took food to visit his son in prison and stood at the door begging the guards.

's anxious and panicked eyes couldn't stop tears from flowing down, vividly portraying the image of a father worried about his son.

Third place: Liu Lin.

Liu Lin's acting skills are obvious to all, she really does what she does.

She plays Xi Zhongxun’s mother, with a face full of weather and frost. She doesn’t need to say any lines. She looks like a rural woman standing there.

Liu Lin's performance is also natural and real, with almost no trace of performance.

When I saw Xi Zhongxun off to school at the door, my eyes were full of love and reluctance.

When she heard her husband, who was seriously ill in bed, explaining the funeral arrangements, she stood at the door without saying a word and burst into tears.

Emotions such as sadness, pain, and reluctance are conveyed in detail, making people feel the character's misery.

Liu Lin, who has been nominated many times but just missed the honor, really deserves a trophy.

Fourth place: Wu Lei.

Wu Lei’s performance this time is very surprising. He plays the young Xi Zhongxun.

was on point both in terms of lines and emotions. He also performed very steadily opposite many powerful actors and contributed many exciting scenes.

After Li Dazhao died heroically, he led everyone to be indignant and shouted that Mr. Shouchang should not die, which made people feel his anger and perseverance.

Watching his father being beaten, his eyes were full of heartache and tears came to his eyes.

During the aggressive cross-examination by the other party, he pulled away from the painful state of mind and his eyes became very firm again.

There is also the scene of joining the Communist Party of China in prison and taking the oath to join the party. His eyes are full of determination, upward and hopeful light.

It can be said that Wu Lei performed the youthful, passionate and firm belief of the young Xi Zhongxun.

As the plot airs, actors such as Jin Dong, Zhang Songwen, and Ding Yongdai will appear one after another, and I believe it will bring more exciting performances.

. The ratings have exceeded 2 for 3 consecutive days. This revolutionary historical drama will become popular all over the country.

Most of the previous revolutionary historical dramas presented battles or characters that were familiar to the audience.

But this "Northwestern Years" focuses on the arduous revolutionary struggle in the Northwest.

The establishment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Old Areas has a very important and special status in the history of the Communist Party of China.

As a red revolutionary base created during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, it was the foothold of the Party Central Committee and the Red Army's Long March.

is also the starting point for the party to lead the people’s army to the anti-Japanese front line and move towards New China.

"Northwestern Years" is the first work to give a panoramic view of the magnificent revolutionary history of the Northwest.

"On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai and madly hunted and killed communists. Faction warlord Zhang Zuolin also arrested communists and other revolutionaries in Beijing."

"On April 28, the main founder of the Communist Party of China One of them, Li Dazhao, died heroically in Beijing. "

" The vigorous revolution went from climax to failure. "

At the beginning of the first episode of "Northwestern Years", these few sentences roughly describe the background of the times. The Communist Party was in dire straits. middle.

Then the camera turned and came to a small village in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province.

Although it is far away from big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the fire of revolution has begun to sprout here.

Then the series takes the revolutionary growth of comrades such as Xi Zhongxun and Liu Zhidan as the main line, depicting the magnificent revolutionary epic written by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries and the people of the border area. In order to truly present the historical environment at that time, the crew took nearly half a year to shoot, and the filming was basically completed in northern Shaanxi.

Whether it is the clothing of the characters, the scenes in the play, etc., they all restore that era. As soon as the story begins, the audience is wrapped in a strong sense of the times.

In addition to the grand historical events in revolutionary historical dramas, the most touching thing is those people who are in the torrent of history.

Xi Zhongxun in "Northwestern Years" was originally just an ordinary young man. After being influenced by revolutionary ideas, he resolutely joined a progressive student group.

My parents, who have been farmers all their lives, are very worried about this. After all, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up.

But Xi Zhongxun said, Dad, how do you know that I am not that tall person?

Later, Xi Zhongxun was arrested and imprisoned for participating in the student movement. Xi Zhongxun did not back down in the face of coercion and inducement, and even joined the party in prison.

said to the party emblem on the wall, I am willing to fight for communism to the end and fight to death!

There is also Liu Zhidan. Among the prosperity and ideals and beliefs, he chose the latter and led the soldiers to fight against the counter-revolutionary forces.

When the uprising failed many times and the soldiers' confidence was weakened, he issued a call to boost their fighting spirit.

An uprising is necessary at the most critical moment of the revolution, an uprising is necessary for the final victory of the uprising, and an uprising is still necessary when the uprising encounters setbacks.

Because we firmly believe that the revolution will eventually succeed.

After saying this, the entire play was filled with an impassioned revolutionary atmosphere, and a wave of revolutionary romanticism spread.

There is a line in the play that impressed Qingshi deeply:

Our revolution is like this lamp. You see it seems to be extinguished, but it will still burn tenaciously.

The reason why this is the case is because of the existence of revolutionary fighters such as Xi Zhongxun and Liu Zhidan, who keep the fire of revolution never extinguished.

This is exactly what this drama wants to convey:

By showing the ideals and beliefs of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, it inspires us to inherit and carry forward this revolutionary spirit.

Such revolutionary historical dramas are really worth watching.
