Foreword

"Comrade Zhongxun, take the oath!"

The young man looked at the sickle shape painted on the earthen wall and wanted to say something eagerly, but he didn't know where to start:

"How to declare it?"

The scarred man clenched his right hand into a fist and looked at the sickle painted on the wall:

"Facing the party emblem and speaking to the party, tell your true feelings!"

The young man was filled with emotion, with tears in his eyes, he solemnly clenched his right fist and raised it to The position of the temple.

"I, Xi Zhongxun, volunteer to join the Communist Party of China."

"Become a member of the party, always listen to the party, always abide by the party's discipline, and always work hard for the happiness of the working people."

"I am willing to fight for communism to the end and fight to the end. To death!

A wall, a kerosene lamp, and two people.

It is hard to imagine that he was so simple that even the party emblem was painted on it, but he was an outstanding proletarian revolutionary who devoted himself to the beginning of communism.

In the silent night, only the impassioned oath of a young man echoed in the air, which was an affectionate confession to the party.

The above clip is from the CCTV drama " Northwest Years ".

One clip is enough to prove the quality of historical and revolutionary dramas.

The screenwriter of "The Age of Awakening" and the director of " Across the Yalu River " have joined forces to create an annual masterpiece.

There are also many national first-class actors including Yu Hewei , Jin Dong , Hu Jun and Li Xuejian .

Even "Xinwen Lianbo" pushed it for 24 seconds, which is too harsh.

is both strong and warm, the main theme of a drama should be filmed like this

After watching the first two episodes of "Northwest Years", my feeling can only be expressed in two words:

moved.

The theme of the main theme is revolution, and the story frames are very similar. However, only by clicking on the feature film can the audience feel the difference in the skills of the production team.

In this play, what the audience sees is not a blind glorification of suffering, but the hope that is always ignited in the hearts of each character.

Such as the awakening of educational awareness.

Xi Zhongxun ( Wu Lei )'s parents were farmers. Although he did not need tuition fees to get into the normal school, his living expenses also cost a lot of money. In order to provide for his children, his father sold the donkey and did all the heavy work himself.

Upon hearing the news, Xi Zhongxun immediately said that he could not go to school and help his father share the farm work.

However, his father ( Cheng Taishen ) said this:

"These dark clouds are floating in the sky, and the raindrops will fall on your head sooner or later. If you don't go to school, when will the raindrops disperse?"

These straightforward words reveal the wisdom of his parents in educating their children, and also make Xi Zhongxun's future development More rationalization.

If our father contributed to Xi Zhongxun’s growth, then the soldiers he met in prison were his first complete awakening on the road to revolution.

"You are still young. The first lesson you have to learn here is patience."

"Hibernate and wait until the harsh winter passes."

It was this soldier who drew the party emblem on the wall and was Xi Zhongxun’s introducer.

On this night, a new star was born in the dark prison, and even I felt excited to see it.

At the same time, the soldiers on the other side had differences over the revolutionary uprising.

Some people are very motivated, while others are worried.

At this time, Liu Zhidan (played by Yu Hewei) gave everyone a reassurance:

"When the revolution is at its weakest, you must revolt."

"When the time is ripe, you must revolt; when the time is not ripe, you must find a way to revolt. "

"The uprising will eventually win. If the uprising encounters setbacks, it will eventually fail. You still have to uprising!"

The emotions of the soldiers who were originally on the sidelines also lit up.

"Northwestern Years" seems to be about the character growth of the male protagonist, but in fact it is a small way of seeing the big things, linking together the sacrifices of heroic soldiers under the fate of the times.

is very rich in content, the transitions are not blunt, and the atmosphere is rendered extremely well.

I dare say that this drama will definitely top the list of good dramas in 2024.  

Yu Hewei, Cheng Taishen, Liu Lin performed superbly, and Wu Lei's acting skills were very surprising

For revolutionary dramas, the Mesozoic drama is undoubtedly an important one.

Judging from the first two episodes, the performances of the three actors are truly amazing.

ranked first, Yu Hewei.

Yu Hewei plays Liu Zhidan. As soon as he appears on the scene, it is almost impossible to get along with him.

Liu Zhidan has been the chairman of the student union since middle school. He has organized student movements many times and later studied at the Whampoa Military Academy.

Yu Hewei performed the character's advanced thinking and extremely rich experience, showing the calmness of a senior general in his every move.

In the details of his performance, we can also taste the character's sensitivity to war and the sadness of his own destiny. It is indeed Yu Hewei!

The second place is Cheng Taishen.

can be so low-key, and can also perform supporting roles beyond the color of the character itself, Cheng Taishen's acting skills cannot be overshadowed.

He vividly interprets the simplicity of farmers, his love for his son, and his sense of responsibility to support the entire family.

To that end, he looks like a commoner who is suffering from the hardships of life. In contrast, Wu Lei does not look like a child who grew up in a peasant family of that era. This is the gap between veteran actors and young actors.

This father does not have any great beliefs, he only has his own children in his heart.

He is ordinary but not ordinary. He burst into tears, burst into tears, and was beaten to death in the end. Cheng Taishen's outstanding acting skills gilded the character. Although the second episode was quickly offline, it is still unforgettable.

The third place is Liu Lin.

She played the role of Xi Zhongxun's mother. She didn't have many roles compared to Cheng Taishen, but every scene is still fresh in people's memory.

In the limited shots, the character's emotions are maximized. I think she is already a queen without crown.

Of course, in addition to the three actors mentioned above, the acting skills of other actors are also very solid.

such as Li Hongtao .

’s fluent dialect makes people instantly immersed in the drama, and the simple portrayal of the rough man is very penetrating.

Another example is Huo Qing.

The old shopkeeper he played was also a miserable man. After a hundred yuan was robbed, despair and collapse poured out like a flood. The emotional explosion scene was very stable and the performance was full of tension.

Finally, I have to mention Wu Lei.

In such a big drama with a strong lineup, the performance of young actors determines the audience's interest in following the drama.

Wu Lei not only firmly caught the role of the veteran actor, he was also able to interpret the character's perseverance and sense of belief well.

Through the window, the male protagonist saw his father being beaten and kicked by officers and soldiers at the door.

Here, Wu Lei’s performance is full of details.

He gritted his teeth, the veins on his neck were looming, and the emotions that were constantly surging in his heart were clearly reflected in the slight trembling, and the scale was just right.

The male protagonist was slandered and locked up alone, threatening his father and family.

Outside, there was the sound of his father being beaten. He was suffering but could not speak. The scene with Wu Lei's eyes here is even more impressive.

didn’t have a single line, but he was impressive and his firm eyes seemed to have a burning fire in his heart. He did a really good job.

Conclusion

The emergence of "Northwest Years" has made the TV drama market come alive again.

It is said that revolutionary historical themes are not popular among young audiences, but in fact, as long as the story is well told and the actors' acting skills are top-notch, everyone will not be able to put it down.

The quality of this drama is indeed unprecedented for a long time. There are no fancy decorations. The content is not only solid but also simple. The two story lines running in parallel are very interesting.

There is not even a single empty preaching shot, all of them use true feelings to lead the audience into the drama.

In addition, in my opinion, Wu Lei already has the characteristics of a capable actor with a professional background.

His full mental state coincides with that of a person with firm beliefs, and he can perform freely, which is definitely unmatched by other actors of the same age.

The plot of just two episodes has already made the audience savor it for a long time. As the plot progresses, there will definitely be more surprises later.
