However, this historical drama, which has been away for three years, was broadcast without warning. This was announced by Guan Wei less than four hours before the premiere. This was ridiculed by netizens as a "zero announcement" TV blockbuster, but it was still unanimously sought after by netizens.
Why does such a low-key costume drama have a surprisingly high sense of existence? Where is its bitter conscience? Look, I know you need time-
Observing the film and television creation in the Warring States period with historical truth, a hundred schools of thought contend for hegemony, and hundreds of years of political competition and war disputes in the vassal States laid a narrative foundation for building a dramatic and legendary historical drama.
No matter Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Qu Yuan and other celebrities, or Confucianism, France, Taoism and other categories, many allusions, such as "revenge must be reported" and "Xia Ji's argument", have been born, which are enough to make the plots and stories of TV dramas lively and interesting and inject cultural blood into their creation. However, this also makes the creation full of challenges-a lot of scenes and details need to fit in with history.
First of all, whether it is Ying Ji, Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, or the minister of civil and military affairs, the state of Qin is dominated by "black". This is because Qin advocates water, and the five elements belong to water as virtue, and the corresponding color of water is black. Therefore, even the decoration style of Qin Pavilion is different from the resplendence of other countries, but black is the main color.
Secondly, the characters in the play fully follow the background of the times in their hairstyles and makeup. The ancients paid attention to the makeup of "white and black" and "powdered Zhu Shi", which is reflected in the makeup of the main characters in Rise. Viewers who don't understand this makeup will inevitably feel that tranquility has offended the makeup artist. ...
The intention of the crew is not only on the protagonist, but also on the hairstyle of the supporting role. From the Warring States Period to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, "double rings bun" was very popular among the people. The hair is divided into two parts, and each side of the head is wrapped in a bun. Generally, unmarried women or maids, maids and child servants comb this hairstyle.
The details are exquisite and the crew is very attentive. A good historical drama must be based on historical facts and restore the characteristics of the times with details, which is the "first threshold" for historical drama creation.
"Arrangement+Acting" injects vitality into historical facts. Although the story is interesting, the objective and detailed records of historical materials are boring after all. How to arrange historical facts into gripping stories and choose what perspective to cut in are the keys to the rise of historical dramas on the stage.
First of all, the TV series "Empire of the Qin Dynasty" created a new narrative paradigm, choosing "a monarch+an important official" who played a key role in historical changes and disputes as the main line of creation, centering on their experiences and mutual relations, thus writing a magnificent history.
In the fission, he joined hands with Shang Yang to reform, relying on life and death, so that Qin was reborn in the fission; In Vertical and Horizontal, Qin Huiwen, Zhang Yi and Lian Heng broke the alliance, which made Qin more and more powerful. In the rise, Zhao Xiang and Bai Qi, the monarchs and ministers of Qin State, will continue to March eastward by fierce military means during their reign, and Qin State will gradually rise.
From this point of view, the Daqin Empire is different from previous historical dramas. It no longer only emphasizes the ups and downs of the king's fate, but takes the intrigue of counselors and famous ministers as the main narrative force. This narrative arrangement has more internal tension in the story.
In addition, the addition of quiet, Xing Jiadong and other old opera bones has also greatly enhanced the color. In the third film "Rise", the quiet acting skills are simply hanging. When the rebellion was pacified, all her clusters showed the demeanor of a female politician, conveying a coquettish and ambitious queen Xuan to the fullest.
In order to create a heavy sense of history, the charm of lines is also essential. The lines of Rise are half written and half white, and the live broadcast on the radio replaces the later dubbing, which requires very high performance of the actors.
The scene of "Ying Ji Lobbying Six Countries" lasted for 25 minutes, relying entirely on the impassioned monologue of actor Jaco. This scene not only has a huge amount of lines, but also tests the actors to follow the ups and downs of the characters. From the first calm to the last tears, Jaco completely integrated himself into the role of "Ying Ji", which is really amazing!
Breaking through the "bustling complex" of traditional historical dramas, traditional historical dramas have serious "bustling complex" in characterization. Starting from the strong position of temple culture and the philosophy of the strong, they have blind recognition of "prosperous times" and full affirmation of "people"
The TV series Yongzheng Dynasty is full of understanding of Yongzheng's actions of cutting off dissidents, killing ministers, being suspicious and despicable. The ideological basis is based on the "hidden rules" of the culture of ruling by man. Severe punishment and intrigue are both interests and plots, which have to be done, which depicts a "perfect" Yongzheng.
This kind of historical drama invariably emphasizes the principle of "ruling the world with heavy code", turning the evaluation of good and evil into aesthetic photos, making the audience admire the iron fist of the protagonist and show mercy to the "blood reward law" behind the utilitarianism of the temple.
No one is perfect, and the creation of historical dramas should not only follow the historical principle, but also adhere to the attitude of historical research-evaluating characters fairly and objectively.
In Fission's first book, Daqin Empire, Shang Yang was portrayed as a "perfect man", but this was not the case in history. Blindly praise will create a "flat figure" with facial makeup and symbolism, and this is the role of Shang Yang.
In the third "Rise", we can see: On the one hand, the Queen Xuan is ruthless, on the other hand, she is eager to love her son; Although Su Qin is resourceful and scheming, his acting style is lacking in benevolence and righteousness ... It is these plump characters that prop up the soul of the whole play.
The powerful voice of the cultural horn "Daqin Empire" is different from the previous historical TV series with a historical figure or a small paragraph as the theme. Instead, it takes the whole most glorious era as the creative theme, profoundly shows the destiny of the country and mainstream events, re-inherits and carries forward the tradition of China's TV drama creation based on the whole, insists on telling the truth of history, and reproduces the grandeur of the pre-Qin era.
Although Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty is based on the "national" perspective of Qin State, its lofty spirit and broad feelings are the spiritual wealth shared by the Chinese nation.
The recurring slogan of "going to the national disaster with the old Qin" in the play shows the sense of crisis and hardship of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. In order to save the country, the state of Qin donated money and materials to defend against foreign enemies, and the Yi people set an example and cut back on food and clothing.
As Qin Xiaogong said in the play: "The State of Qin made great efforts to govern, and walked a thorny road soaked with sweat, tears and blood. Since then, Qin has got rid of the old poverty, washed away the shame of its ancestors, and set a century-old national humiliation. "
From fission, vertical and horizontal, rising, eastward and outward, empire and Daqin Empire are being prepared, we will deeply cultivate the essence of China's excellent traditional civilization, sharpen this Jian Qin in ten years, clarify the development, rise and unification of China's first unified civilized empire, and show the magnificent situation of the Warring States more than 2,000 years ago in a panoramic way, so that the audience can see a person with a heart of respecting history.
It must be said that the broadcast of The Rise of Daqin Empire in CCTV shows the value orientation of the national platform in the form of historical drama, which makes the audience re-understand the "cultural responsibility and dream" contained in "Daqin Culture", which is the greatest significance.
