"Spine of the Taihang" broadcast on CCTV, the low-profile version of "On the Taihang Mountain", the choice of special actors is very random

   is the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The TV series "Spine of the Taihang" on the theme of the War of Resistance is now being broadcast on CCTV's comprehensive channel.

"Spine of Taihang"

   "Spine of the Taihang" reproduced a series of real battles of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping and others. They crossed the Yellow River east, advanced into Taihang, and fought life and death with the Japanese invaders, and established and strengthened the construction of base areas. Real history.

   attacked Yangmingbao at night, set up Qiqian Village, raised the mighty Shentouling, intercepted the enemy Changle Village, advanced into the southern Hebei Plain, lured the enemy Xiangchenggu, fought hard on Baijin Road and Zhengtai Road, attacked Nanguan, Dayushe, Opening up the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, besieging Qinyuan... these real wars and history will all be presented in the TV series "Spine of Taihang"!

"On the Taihang Mountain"

   In fact, as early as 2015 in the TV series of the same theme, "On the Taihang Mountains", this period of anti-Japanese war history has already been explained in detail.

   "Spine of the Taihang" is similar to "On the Taihang Mountain", both of which are devoted to the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, except that the focus of the two plays is slightly different. "Spine of the Taihang" is based on the anti-Japanese trajectory of generals such as Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping. It is more like a textbook on the history of the Anti-Japanese War of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, while "On the Taihang Mountains" put a lot of ink on ordinary characters.

"Spine of Taihang"

   But from the overall framework, it is a "remake", and in the editor's opinion, "Spine of the Taihang" belongs to a low-profile version of "Taihang Mountain".

   First of all, the filming location of "Spine of the Taihang" is located in the Yimeng Mountain area, which is a big failure. Because Taihang Mountain is different from ordinary mountain ranges, Taihang Mountain has a precarious situation and obvious appearance. It has always been regarded as an important place for soldiers, and familiar audiences can recognize it at a glance, so shooting in Yimeng Mountain is definitely not "authentic."

  Secondly, "Spine of the Taihang" is limited by the cost of shooting. The interpretation of battle scenes is "point-to-stop". The analysis of the battle situation is basically dictated by the actors and lacks a more intuitive way of image expression.

"Spine of Taihang"

   Except for the main characters such as Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, other fictional characters failed to break through the image of our army in the domestic anti-Japanese war drama, either "Li Yunlong" in "Bright Sword" or "Shun Liu" in "My Brother Is Called Shun Liu". Either it is the "Jiang Daya" in "The Sky of History", but lacks sufficient plot support, and the portrayal of these characters is superficial.

   In addition, special actors have a strong sense of "cheap".

Tang Guoqiang plays the great leader Mao Zedong

  In the TV series "On the Taihang Mountains", Tang Guoqiang played the great leader Mao Zedong, Liu Jin played Zhou Enlai, Wang Wufu played Zhu De, Yao Jude played Peng Dehuai, Guo Lianwen played Liu Shaoqi, Zhang Zaixin played Liu Bocheng, Yang Junyong played Deng Xiaoping, and Ma Xiaowei played Chiang Kai-shek. The cast is familiar to the actors, and it is highly acceptable to the audience and will not feel offensive.

Mao Zedong played by Wang Hui

   And in this "Spine of the Taihang", the composition of special actors is somewhat random, and the appearance and demeanor are a bit poor.

   Wang Hui, played by Mao Zedong, lacks the grandeur of a great man, and his appearance is too different; Liang Chunshu’s Zhou Enlai is weak, and Yang Junbai’s Liu Bocheng’s image is not three-dimensional enough, and the actor who plays Zhu De is completely unspectacular and does not fit the age of the historical prototype. .

Chiang Kai-shek played by Mr. Shen Baoping

   Chiang Kai-shek, played by Mr. Shen Baoping, has a bit of flavor. Compared with Ma Xiaowei's version of Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek has a more "warlord" temperament and is more in line with the true state of Chiang Kai-shek in history. It is a great surprise for the cast of "Spine of the Taihang".
