Zhang Jizhong, the director of the TV series Hero Age, created The Legend of Yanhuang.

The following is an article about The Legend of Yanhuang written by Zhang Jizhong, the director of the TV series Hero Age. I hope you like it!

After the history of Chu and Han Dynasties, the history of Tang and Song Dynasties, and the history of Ming and Qing Dynasties were constantly put on the screen, director Zhang Jizhong found another way to focus on the ancient times. Yesterday, Zhao Lixin, Zhu Xiaoyu, Tan Kai and others starred in the first historical drama "Heroic Age", which tells the legendary story of Emperor Yan and Huangdi.

In order to reproduce the original appearance, the crew built two film and television bases, Huangdi and Yan Di, in Zhuolu and Baoji respectively. The protagonist of "Age of Heroes" wears a cow-shaped or sheep-shaped headdress, hand-woven sandals and abstract oil-painted patterns on his skin. These unique primitive shapes in ancient times are inspired by the ancient culture of China. The design of figures refers to the ceramic figures unearthed from Yangshao culture, and also draws lessons from elements such as Beishouling culture in Baoji, the hometown of Emperor Yan. In addition, the ancient stone and wood weapons such as stone axe, stone ge and dagger in the heroic era were all hand-made by the crew. In order to highlight the original aesthetic feeling, they made weapons with a large number of cowhide, ox bones and antlers as raw materials.

Zhang Jizhong said that many TV dramas now lack positive significance and positive outlook on life, but Hero Age is different. "It was an era of heroes. They all fought wild animals for their own people and dared to fight foreigners. At that time, there was no personal gain, but they all made sacrifices for their own people, which was very bloody. "

The plot of a play

The Age of Heroes tells the story of dozens of primitive tribes, big and small, 5,000 years ago, among which Yan Di, Huangdi and Chiyou in the south are the most powerful. In order to compete for the more viable Central Plains, the Chiyou tribe went north to the Central Plains and launched a fierce battle with Emperor Yan. When Emperor Yan was defeated by Chiyou, he formed an alliance with the Yellow Emperor against Chiyou. After the Battle of Zhuolu and the Battle of Hanquan, Emperor Yan and Huangdi made the Chinese nation realize the real great integration for the first time.
