Synopsis

In the early 1930s, bandits were rampant in Gaomi area of Shandong Province, and the people were in dire straits. Jiu'er, a 19-year-old daughter of the owner of the Northeast Village, was promised by her greedy father to Shan bianlang, the son of the owner of the leprosy wine shop. Yu Zhanao, the powerful man of Kong Wu, liked jiu'er and killed Shan's father and son. Jiu'er and Yu Zhanao started a love affair that was not recognized by the villagers and had two children. With the help of wine maker Luo Han and others, jiu'er gradually grew from a simple girl to a competent female manager of sorghum distillery, and revitalized a single distillery. Yu Zhanao led his brothers to form their own armed forces, which were among the local government, bandits and the iron plate society. The July 7th incident broke out, and the Japanese army occupied Shandong, which broke the prosperity of Gaomi County in the past. In the face of national righteousness, Yu Zhanao and other forces ignored the past, stopped the dispute, and fought against Japan together. At the time of internal and external troubles, jiuer led the team to lead the Japanese devils to sorghum, ignited red sorghum, and died with the enemy. With his own life, he wrote a legend of love and conquest, ambition and will in this land full of vitality in Gaomi, Shandong Province.

Behind the scenes production

1. After the cast finalized the heroine, Mo Yan immediately expressed his affirmation of the casting. He thinks that Zhou Xun and jiu'er are both very spiritual women. At the same time, Mo Yan said that he had seen several scenes that he had already started shooting. Zhou Xun showed the pure and beautiful wildness of Shandong Gaomi yeniuer incisively and vividly, which is very consistent with his image of jiuer. 2. The production of the play started in a hurry. Zheng Xiaolong took over Red Sorghum only four months ago. In September, the TV series started. When it was just received, there were only script outlines. This is unprecedented for Zheng Xiaolong. He has almost no preparation. It's the first time in his career that he has to write and start the script in five months. 3. Screenwriter Zhao Dongling revealed that after Shandong satellite TV announced that it had purchased the right to adapt Mo Yan's novel "Red Sorghum family" at the end of March 2013, it found her to write the script for the TV play "Red Sorghum". At the beginning, she did not agree. Because after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, the influence of novels and movies was too great, but Shandong satellite TV was also very kind to me. In Zhao Dongling's view, both Mo Yan's novels and Zhang Yimou's films are two peaks that can not be surpassed. The TV series "Red Sorghum" will definitely be compared. For her, the pressure is self-evident. 4. After more than 20 years of shooting red sorghum, Mo Yan asked that the modeling should be combined with today's aesthetic. As a result, Zheng Xiaolong made some changes in his clothes. Zhou Xun was wearing well fitting clothes, while his trousers were also Harlem style, and Zhu Yawen's style was the same. Zheng Xiaolong explained that Harlan's design was in fact in line with the Burmese crotch pants in Shandong at that time. As a result, the effect was very similar to Harlan's pants, which was very fashionable. 5. The total investment of the play is 150 million yuan, with nearly 800 people in the whole group. It will be shot after the Spring Festival in 2014. According to Cao Ping, the chief producer of red sorghum, director Zheng Xiaolong is leading the original team of the production team of Zhen Huan biography, which has invested heavily in creating another film and television masterpiece.

Behind the scenes

1. In order to leave the best footage for the director, they were all sweating under the high temperature of more than 30 degrees. Zhou Xun was lying on the flattened sorghum stalk, his back was very thorny, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. The crew had to prepare two boxes of anti mosquito liquid to spray around, which was very hard to shoot.

2. Dou Jijin, director of Publicity Department of Gaomi municipal Party committee, revealed that thousands of acres of Red Sorghum have been planted near Mo Yan's hometown, northeast township. One is to welcome Chinese and foreign tourists, and the other is to prepare for the TV series "Red Sorghum" to start. 3. Due to Zhou Xun's joining in, many fans came to watch the star performance, and some of them were lucky to become the mass actors of the play. 4. The staff revealed that director Zheng Xiaolong attached great importance to the bare tree in the yard, which only appeared in the camera a few times. When it comes to reinterpreting these classic passages, Zhu Yawen, who plays Yu Zhanao, admits that as early as when he was studying in Film Academy, he had imagined how to play this image more than once.

Positive comments

The play carries forward the spirit of patriotism, and its story is full of twists and turns. In addition, the play also portrays a group of plump and distinctive characters. For a work, these points are enough to stand up. In the end, jiuer lit the wine jar and died with the Japanese soldiers. In fact, wine can't cause a very strong explosion like gasoline. Although this plot is not in line with science, it is in line with art and the psychological needs of the common people. (Mo Yanping) the play is a big production full of vitality. If the "jiu'er" created by Gong Li was full of wild, then Zhou Xun's version of "jiu'er" was more wild, bolder, witty and fruitful. In addition, Zheng Xiaolong, a gold medal director who has directed many masterpieces such as "Beijinger in New York" and "the story of Zhen Huan", has made people feel hearty and rare.

Negative evaluation

Although the plot has a lot of capacity, the story is more conventional and old-fashioned. Compared with the previous "Tie Li Hua" and "the woman of the swordsman", the "legendary growth history of a woman" with the elements of rural first love, bandit suppression, house fighting and anti Japanese war does not have much to show off. The story is conventional and the passage is particularly old-fashioned. In the first episode, jiuer encounters many major events, such as her father selling her mother, her mother hanging herself, and eloping with her first lover. However, every turning point is expected, and the actor's emotional handling is rather rough, which makes her look "inferior". Among them, Han Tongsheng plays jiu'er's father, who is a gambler and smoker with no family. He sells his wife and daughter. He is a heartless villain and a pathetic little character at the bottom. However, the clown was played by Han Tongsheng's unusual surface, flexible "model play" performance way, many people think "very drama". (Netease Entertainment review)
