The film and television industry is quite lively in August.
Not only is Starry Sky Director Studio working hard, but Datang Film and Television, which has an alliance with it, is also making waves in the TV drama industry.
The movie "Celebrating More Than Years" triggered a viewing frenzy.
This is an excellent TV series that truly perfectly combines the arena and the court.
The strength of the martial arts masters is much more exaggerated than that of the "Following the Flow: A Generation of Military Advisors" who made a big splash before.
Not even the surprising robot warrior at the end can dominate Wuji and be invincible. This shows how powerful the top martial arts in the world of "Qing Yu Nian" are.
As for the court, there are also old foxes who can manipulate top time travelers with great strength and brilliant minds.
In short, "Celebrating More Than Years" produced by Datang Film and Television has set off a considerable ratings boom at the end of July and throughout August.
At the same time, the movie "Xiuchundao" jointly produced by Datang Film and Television and Star Director Studio was officially released in mid-August, and the box office and reputation were quite good.
Different from the original "Xiu Chun Knife", this film co-produced by Datang Film and Television and Star Director Studio starts with the Jiangnan people resisting taxes and even beating the tax supervisor to death, which is a famous article in Chinese textbooks.
The content of "Five Tombstones",
The article is indeed a good article, but it cannot hide the fact that the five people who were pushed to death by the Jiangnan gentry died for resisting taxes.
The incident itself is illegal!
Not to mention, they beat the tax inspector sent by the emperor to death.
The tax inspector represented the court's orthodoxy and the emperor's reputation. He would be tortured to death if he was told. He even issued a memorial to a few cannon fodders who were pushed out, which simply slapped the emperor's face.
Pig's Foot was involved in this whole process, and he was the guard in brocade robes beside the tax supervisor who was beaten to death.
He was lucky enough to escape with his life, so he naturally hated the Jiangnan gentry deeply.
This is simply unreasonable!
As a member of the Emperor's personal army and a core member of the Hundred-level Jinyiwei, he was naturally involved in many secret affairs.
Among them, the most common ones were various secret fights with the gentry.
As for the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally Wei Zhongxian's job for nine thousand years.
The film mainly talks about the struggle between the so-called eunuchs and the civil servant group. Pig's feet are the sword in the hands of the emperor and the eunuchs. Naturally, they did a lot of things that were very wrong in the eyes of the civil servants and gentry.
During this period, the arrogance of the eunuchs and their cruel oppression of the people and the officialdom were described, which was not a good thing.
But there is one thing, the heart-to-heart words spoken by the nine thousand year old Wei Zhongxian to his close confidants are quite reasonable.
If it weren't for his desperate search and maintenance, the money, food and materials for the Liaodong garrison would have been difficult to secure, and the Liaodong region would have been completely in chaos by this time.
Since the Battle of Saarhu, the Hou Jin Dynasty has become completely powerful and has become one of the scourges of the Ming Dynasty. Just maintaining military expenditures in Liaodong every year is not something that the current imperial finances can maintain.
However, most of the world's wealth and resources are in the hands of the gentry and feudal kings.
The vassal king cannot move lightly, so he will naturally have to cut his flesh from the gentry, so how can it be done?
The power of the gentry in the world was so powerful that it once suppressed the imperial power to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
Even in the Battle of Sarhu that broke out earlier, the Ming army was severely defeated. If there was no handiwork by the civilian clique, even a fool would not believe it.
In order to fight for the right to speak in the court, the Carpenter Emperor introduced the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and the gentry group turned to the famous Donglin Party to oppose him.
It was against this background that Pig's Foot accepted the order of Nine Thousand Years Old to suppress the arrogance of the civil servant group.
During this period, it was natural that the so-called chivalrous men, who were guided by the civil servant group and the gentry all over the world, would engage in ridiculous things such as confronting pigs' feet and even going shopping.
Every time you capture a civil servant boss or a key member of the Donglin Party, whether it is 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian or Jin Yiwei, you have to pay a huge price.
The most exaggerated thing is that at the end of the film, the civil servant group felt that they had suffered too much and the losses were huge, and finally decided to change to an obedient emperor.
Then, Emperor Tianqi, who had only been emperor for seven years, fell into the water while playing in the royal garden, caught a cold and died.
The danger and horror during this period made the audience tremble with fear, and at the same time they could not help but sigh at the audacity of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
In short, this movie is still very enjoyable to watch. Although the atmosphere is a bit depressing and the court battles in it are extremely dangerous, it is very suitable for the audience's taste.
After all, China has a long history. There should not be too many costume dramas and official dramas. The audience still understands some basic information.
However, I did not expect that the carpenter emperor, who was ridiculed countless times by later generations, was obviously much stronger than Emperor Chongzhen in terms of skill and ability.
A 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian was able to stand up to the arrogant civil servants in the court, and even vaguely suppress them.
As long as the arrogant civilian clique is suppressed, enough military spending can be raised to barely maintain the crumbling empire's finances.
At this point, the nine thousand year old Wei Zhong made great achievements.
On the contrary, the group of so-called Gong Gong princes in the court are the real worms of the country, and they ignore the interests of the country for the sake of the so-called family interests.
In the film, the pig's feet come into contact with fellow Jin Yiwei who escaped from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in Sarhu.
The responsibilities of the Jin Yiwei are not just those who are imprisoned in movies and TV shows, they also have the responsibility of spying on military intelligence in enemy territory, and even taking risks to act as scouts.
It can be said that every time the Ming Dynasty went to war, the Jin Yiwei were the elite scouts who charged at the forefront. There were definitely not a few Jin Yiwei who died inexplicably because of this every year.
How could a battle like Salhu not include the presence of Jinyiwei?
From the mouths of the surviving Jinyiwei, Pigfoot learned a lot of disgusting things in Liaodong that were unknown to others.
It can be said that Houjin's side was entirely armed by the powerful and daring businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.
Ironware, craftsmen and other strategic resources are clearly prohibited from being transported out of the country by the Ming Dynasty law. However, the powerful and big businessmen regard them as a channel to make money, and they are also monopolized.
What is exaggerated is that sometimes the weapons used by the Hou Jin Manzi were even better than those of the Liaodong Frontier Army.
The frontier troops in Liaodong are almost in ruins.
In the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty's last mobile force was defeated miserably, and almost the entire army was wiped out. It was not so much the defeat at the hands of Hou Jin, but the defeat at the hands of the Ming Dynasty's dignitaries, big businessmen, border troops and civil servant groups.
Down.
Of course, these considerations cannot be understood by the few low-level Jinyiwei elites who escaped from the front line.
Even the pig's trotters were mixed up and became the Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei. Because of their merits, they were recognized by the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian and were qualified to participate in some more important private gatherings. This was guessed through the information they learned.
The reason why the dignitaries, big businessmen, and border troops did not want Hou Jin to perish was out of self-interest considerations. The logical relationship between them is terrifying to think about.
Among them, the border troops had the most vicious intentions. The last mobile force of the Ming Dynasty that participated in the Battle of Sarhu was an armed force under the absolute control of the court.
Among them, there is a section of the Qi Family Army that is about to completely wither.
The border army generals chose the Jia Ding policy, which was completely under their own control, rather than the regular military system like the Qi Jiajun, which was controlled by the court and the emperor.
As for civil servants, apart from financial considerations, their biggest purpose is to prevent military generals from having a chance to get ahead.
Even if the last mobile force of the Ming Dynasty was lost and it would be at an absolute disadvantage in future battles with Hou Jin, it would not hesitate.
In short, the plot of the first part of "Xiu Chun Knife" tells the biggest and most fatal problem of the late Ming Dynasty very clearly and clearly, making the audience feel numb while enjoying the wonderful fighting.
The plot of the film ends here. Seeing the scene of Emperor Chongzhen being hit by a pie falling from the sky and being ecstatic, all the viewers could not help but feel their hearts sinking.
The film is definitely a good film. Not only does it describe history well enough to satisfy all viewers, at least everyone agrees with the plot of the film.
Compared with the original "Xiu Chun Dao", which mostly described the struggles of small characters and the amusing conspiracies, this one shot by Datang Film and Television is much better in terms of conception and style.
Anyone who knows something about the clan system of the Ming Dynasty can understand that Emperor Chongzhen was definitely a little transparent in the royal family before he succeeded to the throne.
Not to mention that the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian would not take him seriously, even among the civil servants, which one would treat him as an important figure?
The difference is that the civil servants are good at hiding their emotions and will not let Emperor Chongzhen see the flaws easily.
As for Wei Zhongxian, as the absolute confidant of Emperor Tianqi, even if he was really optimistic about Emperor Chongzhen, he would not express anything inappropriate.
Just kidding, the Carpenter Emperor can lift him up to a nine-thousand-year-old throne, or he can easily send him into an abyss where he will never be able to stand up again.
However, the normal behavior of 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian was different in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen. Coupled with the influence of external public opinion, it was impossible not to feel bad in his heart.
Not to mention the heavy historical factors shown in the film, the fighting plot alone is quite exciting, and it is definitely a model of this type.
The fighting movements and overall tone of "Xiu Chun Dao" were naturally set by Wu Dong.
Focusing mainly on actual combat, there is no such thing as internal strength and true energy, but the combat power displayed is quite astonishing.
It was made by Wu Dong based on the methods of the external martial arts masters of Black Tiger Village that he was familiar with in the main world.
Apart from anything else, he has a very eloquent demeanor and a very sharp practical ability.
The small-scale fierce battles with the knights, and the fighting style with the officials guarding the hospital, with obvious traces of battlefield fighting, left a deep impression on the audience.
It is another classic movie with high quality, and naturally the box office is also very strong.
In just one week, it easily snatched the weekly box office championship from "Chi Ling", which had been released in two states earlier, and attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry...
