It is not only a benchmark, but also an attitude of striving for perfection, which is exactly what China's impetuous film and television circle needs, and it is also the most valuable.
It is undeniable that the domestic film and television industry has made great progress, but the artistic realm is not perfect, only more perfect, especially compared with Hollywood blockbusters, there is still a big gap. The first step to narrow the gap is attitude, which is conveyed by "The Longest Day in Chang 'an", regardless of the details, so that you are truly moved.
Some people say that each episode of "The Longest Day in Chang 'an" can be regarded as a blockbuster, including costumes, plots, lens changes, lines, props, lighting and so on. You can't bear to miss every detail. What's more exaggerated is that you can smell the burning of RMB through the screen. I believe everyone who has seen this play will feel the same way.
The plot is ups and downs. Let's talk about the plot first. The common fault of domestic TV series is to know the ending from the beginning, and even the setting of some bridges in the middle can make you feel clearly. At first glance, it is a simple copy. Simply put, you can see the end at a glance and completely treat the audience as a fool. The most important thing is that the audience can just stare at the screen or prepare a pack of paper towels to wipe their tears.
But watching "The Longest Day in Chang 'an" requires the audience to use their brains and think hard, because you really don't know what will happen next. Let you completely follow the rhythm of the screenwriter, which is neither boring nor more and more interesting. I have to say that this is indeed the greatest advantage and progress. The reason why American TV series is fascinating is that the plot is completely logical. You must think and participate in it, not just grandstanding.
In fact, the whole drama took place in Chang 'an in one day, but it took 48 episodes, but it didn't feel cumbersome at all. This makes you wonder who is behind the scenes, what are they hesitating and struggling for? Who is planning for Chang 'an? What are their respective attitudes towards this conspiracy? Wait, watch this play. Your brain is active, not static.
The characters are all full. Let's talk about the characters first. There is no doubt that Zhang Xiaojing is the highlight of this drama, a heroic figure. However, he is on death row. He didn't work so hard to get promoted and get rich. He even wanted to leave here for a while, but he stayed. His request is simple, that is, to see that everyone here can live a good life without interruption according to their own trajectory.
This simple emotion from the heart touched everyone. In fact, there are a few people in this world who are as ambitious as Li Bi and want to be a bright generation, but it is Zhang Xiaojing, Cui Qi and Bin Xu who are ordinary and neglected, but kind, persistent and even silly and a little cute who really maintain the normal operation of society.
It seems that except for Zhang Xiaojing, every little person who attracted us in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Ding Tonger, Wang Yixiu, Yan Taizhen, who is beautiful and noble, and He Jian, who is desperate, everyone is vividly portrayed. Every class in the Tang Dynasty is real, and each class has its own life track.
For example, Tong Er thought she would lead an ordinary life with her lover, but life gave him a big joke. Compared with darkness, it is inhuman for anyone to choose freedom after recess. Although Tong Er is a fish, she dries her tears and wants to be the most nutritious fish.
The first time I saw Tonger singing plaintively in the cage, the second time she was already the most influential intelligence agent of Ge Lao. Children have no choice but to live according to the existing trajectory. We can't describe people who live in another class by pure depravity.
They exist and maintain the normal operation of Datang in another way. At the last moment when Wolf Cao Wei first appeared and died, what he thought was not great achievements, but his daughter, her natural smile and a gentle grandfather, which kept him warm for a long time and made him willing to go through fire and water until death do us part.
From this point of view, every role is based on human nature, and everything it does is nothing more than to survive. If you can't protect yourself, your relatives and people around you can live happily, and Zhang Xiaojing, as the protagonist, is no exception. He just wants Wen Ran to have a good life. ...
The details are perfect, and finally the details. The biggest pain of domestic TV series is that all the money is spent on the protagonist, which leads to a serious imbalance in details. This part is truly balanced and respects art, but what the audience feels is sincerity. At first glance, they did their homework and came prepared.
If nothing else, the green lotus-shaped headdress on Li Bi's head and the reverse insertion method of the hair clasp are highly praised by many historical celebrities, who think that this is a correct display of Tang Wenhua. Women's dazzling and plump makeup, figure-eight gestures, cloth clothes on the prince and photos on the right. Let the audience interested in Tang Wenhua for a period of time, full of inexplicable curiosity about the ancient city of Xi.
Details are more reflected in each supporting role, even if only one shot is perfect, even if every shot is not wasted, even if a group of performances have a strong sense of lens.
As for his lover Ding Tonger, when he stumbled to see the light, the weakness of human nature was undoubtedly exposed. If he is locked up there all his life, his heart will die, and he is willing to accompany the child to linger in a dark cage. But as soon as he saw the sunshine, he broke his word and left without hesitation. What vows of eternal love, heartache are floating clouds …
