Teleplays and movies during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

Bo Guang remembers that in 20 18, a Japanese film "King of the World" was adapted from a comic book and will be released in 20 19. Many people who like Japanese culture cheered for it, commenting that "Japan likes China's Warring States culture, and China's Warring States culture needs Japan's rescue".

In fact, this is the root of Japanese "King of the World" comics, not to mention China history of film. Because of the development, China rarely made historical films of ancient costumes after the rise of various commercial blockbusters of 2065 438+02 Xu zhēng "Too Long". One of the reasons is that there were too many historical films in ancient costume in the past.

This is also packaged in the Origin of Chinese Civilization, which occupies an important position in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, including the Qin Dynasty film and television cultural works dominated by Qin Shihuang. Too many viewers are tired of watching movies, so they stop filming. Here, the film and television cultural works of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period shot in the history of China are sorted out.

Part 1: 1996 TV series "Eastern Zhou Chunqiu"

Earlier film and television works in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the 1980s are not included. At that time, it was the time when China's "state-owned" TV stations concentrated their elite manpower to do great things. 1996 TV series "Countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period" is adapted from Feng Menglong's novel "The Story of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" in Ming Dynasty, which combines many historical allusions in China's Spring and Autumn Period.

The first episode of the TV series is "The Bonfire in Lishan Mountain", which is well known to those who are familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. It refers to "Zhou Youwang's Bonfire Play". There are many other allusions, such as Zhao's orphan, working hard, Confucius staying in the mountains, Wu Zixu crossing Zhaoguan and so on.

This drama can be said to be the biggest historical drama after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in 1994, but now the audience has given the honor to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has led to the lack of popularity of this drama and is very worth seeing. On the contrary, four years later, in 2000, the word-of-mouth quality of Chronicle of Eastern Zhou and Warring States was not so high.

Part 2: 1998 Jing ke stabbed the king of Qin

Bo Guang remembers watching the trailer of the Japanese movie King of the World. A bunch of China people said that the Spring and Autumn and Warring States films were not made by China, and immediately thought of the peak of China Spring and Autumn and Warring States films in the 1990s. In the 1990s, there were too many movies involving the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty.

For example, Qin Song's love of ancient and modern wars, such as terracotta warriors, casting swords, overlord Chu, eyebrow ruler and so on, is too numerous to mention to compare with a Japanese cartoon interested in China during the Warring States Period. In these China films during the Warring States Period, Bo Guang finally chose Jing Ke to stab the king of Qin.

This film was directed by Chen Kaige, and now Farewell My Concubine is very popular, which was shot by Chen Kaige's father. However, I believe that anyone who has seen the drama Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin will find that Chen Kaige's artistic achievements do have his own unique thinking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master.

Many viewers don't like Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin. In fact, movies are too artistic, too primitive and too deconstructive to see through history with modern eyes.

I believe that the plot of Jing Ke stabbing the king of Qin needs no explanation, as long as everyone who has read books in China knows it. This film deconstructs the characters and characteristics of many historical figures at the end of the Warring States Period, such as Renyi played by Zhang Fengyi, but Jing Ke, who is hesitant, especially Qin Shihuang played by Li, is a controversial figure.

Because Li's Qin Huang is very neurotic and even a little obscene. But Bo Guang saw Li's interview and explained why people in the Qin Dynasty were like that, describing people in the late Warring States as "clumsy" people. He acted according to that feeling, and Bo Guang felt that this undervalued art film.

Part III: Heroes of Zhang Yimou in 2002.

The 1980s, 1990s and 00s were the peak periods of film and television dramas in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After 00, there are also film and television dramas such as The Spring and Autumn of the Swordsman, The Wheat Field, The Ink Attack, Myth and wuyue's Hegemony. But if Bo Guang chooses, you should choose Zhang Yimou's Hero.

No matter how many domestic audiences like Zhang Yimou's Hero, this movie is destined to go down in the history of China movies. Not only a hero of Zhang Yimou, but also a blockbuster era of China. It brought various phenomena and attempts of commercial films in China later. Most importantly, this film is also an underrated work.

Zhang Yimou's "Hero" story is also very simple, adapted from Jing Ke's stabbing Qin, and tells the story of an unknown assassin, broken arrow, who is going to assassinate the king of Qin. In the speculation and confrontation with the king of Qin, he adopted the narrative mode of "Rashomon", and finally gave up the assassination of the king of Qin, choosing sacrifice to unify the world.

Why this film was underestimated was mainly criticized by people at that time for "flattering the rulers". This was a mainstream trend of thought in China around 2000, and now it is a joke. Qin Shihuang is a controversial figure in history. On the one hand, he did a lot of things that wasted people and money.

However, on the other hand, Qin Shihuang made indisputable contributions to the unification of China for later generations. Shooting assassins supports reunification and reduces wars and disputes in the world. This is called flattering rulers. Does that mean that you support that Qin Shihuang should not be unified, but that China should be divided?

Part IV: 2009 Daqin Empire Series.

There is little need for repetition in this TV play. In 2009, Daqin Empire, filmed by Daqin Empire Film Company in Xi 'an Qujiang, has become the only child of China's classical historical drama. It tells the story of the Qin Dynasty's "Vigorous Six" which finally unified the troubled times of the Warring States, and there are many allusions in it.

20 19 "the world of daqin empire 4" will be broadcast soon, which is very worth looking forward to.
