This drama is also a drama that the well-known producer Xu Zhiyin, following the great success of "Lovely China" aired on CCTV 1 four years ago, once again bases itself on the red culture of Jiangxi and deeply explores the touching stories that happened in this hot land. Talking about the origin of creation, Xu Zhiyin has always hoped to present revolutionary historical stories through different angles and ideas. In May 2019, when the leader inspected Jiangxi, he pointed out: "We must start from Ruijin to trace the roots and deeply understand that the red regime did not come easily, the New China did not come easily, and socialism with Chinese characteristics did not come easily." So, Xu Zhiyin led the creative team The team set its sights on the 1920s and 1930s and produced "The Fire of the Road", trying to use the art of TV dramas to tell the younger generation three "hard-earned things".
Gannan and other former Central Soviet Areas are the most important experimental fields for state governance of the Communist Party of China and a rehearsal place for the Communists’ humanistic, Taoist and military strategies. Xu Zhiyin said: "The significance of the TV series "The Fire of the Road" in tracing back this period of history is not only to explore the origins of the Chinese Communist Party's governance and the establishment of the national system, but also to help us more vividly understand the three 'hard-won' and thus strengthen the path Confidence, theoretical self-confidence."

reviews the creative process of "The Fire of the Road" and the reasons for its wide acclaim, which is of great significance How to innovate the theme of revolutionary history, and how to break the theme of the TV series "The Fire of the Road"? This is the creative focus of the main creators.Xu Zhiyin introduced that "The Fire of the Road" took four years to sharpen the sword. The script was streamlined many times and the draft was changed several times. The final script focused on the little-known history of the Soviet Republic from 1931 to 1935. "We not only want to write about military struggles, but also show the process of communists' construction of people's livelihood and economy." Xu Zhiyin said. Facts have proved that "The Fire of the Road" cuts into the process of the revolutionary war from a unique perspective of economic construction, and uses the experimental field of state governance as a window to explore the formation of the revolutionary path with Chinese characteristics. It not only fills a gap in the development history of the Chinese TV drama financial industry, but also fills in a major important The gaps in economic construction and financial construction in revolutionary historical themes show the economic construction of the Chinese Soviet Union for the first time, which is eye-catching.
Breakthroughs in innovation, sophisticated historical dramas to impress the audience
In order to successfully shoot "The Fire of the Road", the crew members joined the set one month in advance and overcame various difficulties and challenges during the filming. In order to highly restore the style of the time, 80% of the plot of the whole drama was shot in real locations in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, with a set area of more than 20,000 square meters and thousands of actors and actresses. In order to produce high-quality works, the crew overcame difficulties such as epidemics, floods, high temperatures, and influenza. Under the leadership of the director, the entire team persisted in working under the scorching sun, even with minor injuries. Traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, mung bean soup, ice cubes, etc. were never interrupted on site. "Our entire crew has retraveled the arduous path that the Communists took in those days. After the baptism, the faith in our hearts has become stronger. After "The Fire of the Road" was broadcast on CCTV, it was loved by audiences across the country, which is a testament to our hard work. The greatest affirmation of your efforts."
Compared with similar works, "The Fire of the Road" cuts from the perspective of economic construction and people's livelihood construction, reflects the party's preliminary exploration of state governance during the Agrarian Revolution, and discusses the economy, people's livelihood and revolutionary struggle and The relationship between political power construction and the connotation of the Chinese revolutionary path. After the play was broadcast, it showed a panoramic view of the revolutionary pioneers represented by Comrade Mao Zedong who rose up in despair, trudged through hardships, persisted in governing for the people, and established a good relationship with the people. The revolutionary narrative from this unique perspective is very heartwarming. Our party's thinking on state governance in the early stages of the revolution, as well as its exploration and practice in the fields of finance, law, education, medical care, marriage, and the punishment of corruption, are also very revealing, arousing the audience's interest and heated discussion.
Similarly, after the show was broadcast, Mao Zedong, played by Hou Jingjian, became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and infected countless viewers. Some viewers praised Hou Jingjian for his textbook-like performance, which showed a down-to-earth great man in daily life, presenting a revolutionary leader Mao Zedong with unique charm, infinite closeness to the people, and a strong sense of life. There are several impressive scenes in the play. For example, in the first scene, Chairman Mao repairs a house for his grandmother. This imagery opening is like the "setting poem" of the whole play, which establishes the natural and down-to-earth atmosphere of the whole play. Friendly and humane temperament. For another example, in order to persuade the comrades to give up the attack on Ganzhou, Mao Zedong personally went down to the river to catch fish and invited them to eat the fish with fish soup. This kind of Mao Zedong would not give up until his goal was achieved. Mao Zedong, who adhered to principles and was full of flexibility and wisdom, was not seen in previous dramas with similar themes. Passed. Another example is the emotional drama between Mao Zedong's three brothers. In order to save his younger brother, Mao Zemin begged everywhere, but in order to protect his younger brother, Mao Zedong could only "stand on the sidelines" and avoid seeing it. All this makes people feel moved and "heart-tortured" at the same time. The audience couldn't help but praise: "Such a revolutionary leader is very down-to-earth, full of humaneness, and has no sense of distance from above."
The audience's praise is due to the actors' wonderful performances, and also to the producers' bold casting choices. Innovation. Xu Zhiyin said: "The selection of veteran special actors and the bold use of new special talents can be said to be intentional by our producers, which is to be both stable and breakthrough." In the play, Hou Jingjian and Wang Weizhi have played such roles. There are veteran special types who have played great figures many times, and there are also new special types like Zhang Bo who play Zhou Enlai for the first time. Xu Zhiyin believes that their performances are remarkable and each has their own unique style: "Zhang Bo is a very good mature actor and a hard-working and sincere actor. But portraying a great man for the first time is definitely a very big challenge." His ability to accept our invitation shows that he dares to break through himself.In the end, he withstood the huge pressure, acted better and more freely, and finally succeeded in presenting a different Zhou Enlai. "
Due to the richness of the subject matter, "The Great Road" embodies the profound historical consciousness and epic temperament. Talking about the theme and connotation of "The Great Road", Xu Zhiyin summarized it in two sentences: "The great road is not alone, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation." . "In her opinion, "The Fire of the Road" is a revolutionary historical drama that also focuses on the present and has strong practical significance. "The many difficulties and challenges our country currently faces in the fields of politics, economy, and people's livelihood are extremely different from the situation back then. Similarly, external pressure and sabotage continue, and internal potential conflicts and problems are complex and diverse. From the country to the individual, each individual is under tremendous pressure. I believe that the audience will feel the same and resonate with it when watching this drama. We have made the revolutionary war years echo the present, so that the audience can deeply understand after watching the drama that the beliefs of the Communist Party of China for hundreds of years are of the same origin and remain unchanged for a hundred years. No matter what kind of difficulties they experience, they never give in. We should strengthen our confidence. With the party's strong leadership, victory will definitely belong to us. "

From "Lovely China" to "The Fire of the Road", Xu Zhiyin is deeply attached to Jiangxi, the red earth holy land soaked with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs, and uses his strong feelings for his family and country in the red We have created great achievements one after another in the field of film and television. "I shoot red works one after another because I hope that every Chinese and even foreign friends can see the greatness of the Chinese Communist Party and understand the advanced nature of the Chinese Communist Party from our works. Understand the beliefs of the Communist Party of China and thus understand today's China. "
Nearly ninety years ago, Fang Zhimin sacrificed his life for the cause of justice, firmly believing that "China must have a praiseworthy and bright future!" At the same time, in the Central Soviet Area, the Communists represented by Mao Zedong were arduous and unswerving in their determination and hardship. Explore the correct path of the Chinese revolution. It is the unremitting efforts of the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong and Fang Zhimin that have made today’s prosperous China possible. In Xu Zhiyin’s view, red culture is advanced culture. “We continue to put red themes into The content is created into a TV series in the hope that the red spirit and red culture can nourish the spirit and activate the faith of contemporary people, and inspire every Chinese son and daughter to strengthen their beliefs, fear no difficulties, and work together to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "
talked about how to create works with major revolutionary historical themes and better promote red culture? Xu Zhiyin said that the creation of major revolutionary historical themes is not only to respect and restore history, but more importantly, it must be in line with the aesthetics of the current audience and the times. needs. Her creative experience is: "First of all, the political stance must be high enough and the ideological connotation must be profound; secondly, the perspective must be unique and have its own unique creative logic; finally, one must dare to try breakthroughs in art and understand the market, especially It is the taste of young audiences, but it cannot be catered to blindly. It must be adapted and guided. "
