Why do people in China never get tired of watching kung fu movies?

Because the clothes look good, handsome men and beautiful women are beautiful!

Recently, the TV series "The Rise of the Daqin Empire" landed on the screen, with great momentum, full characters and heavy history, and was praised as "a domestic drama worthy of being brushed by mobile phone traffic". Previously, another historical drama, Ming Dynasty 1566, was replayed after 10, and it also received numerous praises. With the popularity of online dramas, the upsurge of historical dramas on the Internet is thought-provoking.

Compared with those movies and TV dramas full of anecdotes about Machamp's history, historical dramas are more grand in theme, more serious in tone and often have stronger practical significance. Emperor Taizong once said: with copper as a mirror, you can dress properly; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. History is a mirror. No matter what age, looking back at reality through history can always enlighten today. From the perspective of popularizing history, film and television dramas with wide coverage should not be absent; On the other hand, historical dramas should think deeply about the past and discuss the reality seriously. Kangxi dynasty, the rule of Zhenguan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, etc. , once triggered a ratings boom, are all the same.

Throughout the current historical film and television dramas, drama has become a rare variety. For a time, the TV drama market was almost monopolized by comedy. Turning on the TV screen, Empress Wei standing at the bottom of the flowerpot, dragging the emperor and prince of big braid, is the emotional world of modern people. Then, Gong Dou plays were staged in turn, and the background of historical plays was transferred from the imperial court to the harem. The harem beauties as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade have become schemers like poisonous snakes and scorpions, and sometimes even a few "passers-by" have come. In fact, historical dramas immersed in banter, fighting and crossing are out of the scope of history. The characters in the play are just dressed in ancient costumes to interpret the stories of modern people, not to mention the frequent scenes of fooling around, the complete lack of traditional etiquette and the unbearable "fifty cents special effect". In the face of the proliferation of fake historical dramas, some people are saddened, some people scoff, and some people are used to it. Although carrots and vegetables have their own tastes, the lack of historical dramas also reflects the sub-healthy film and television phenomenon.

Now, does the popularity of two historical dramas mean that the spring of historical dramas is coming? The answer may not be so optimistic. Judging from the ratings, The Rise of the Empire of Daqin received a high rating on the first day of its broadcast, but it still lags far behind the current hit to the sky kingdom and Loneliness. Judging from the number of filming, according to the filing announcement issued by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, in June of 20 17, there were 103 dramas filmed and publicized nationwide, of which 2/kloc-0 dramas were ancient, of which no more than 5 were historical dramas, and others were still legends and legends. The revival of historical drama seems to have a long way to go.

Of course, the historical drama is not hot enough, one of the reasons is the change of audience's aesthetics, and the producer's attitude towards history is also one of the reasons, but the deeper reason may be from himself. Although the play requires correctness, it is not a board. A plain and simple interpretation of our original rich and complicated history and facial description of historical figures are tantamount to raising the threshold of self-appreciation. If we can dig deeper into the subject matter, make the shooting angle more novel and make the emotional expression more infectious, I believe there will be no shortage of audiences.

It is impossible for China people who are on the road to rejuvenation not to pay attention to the great history of the past. People's expectations for high-quality film and television works and their demands for positive energy content are unprecedented, which provides an opportunity for the recovery of historical dramas. Seize the opportunity, calm down and polish the fine works, so as to truly usher in the spring of historical drama and bring rich spiritual nourishment to the audience.
