First of all, as the media of film and television dramas, it is more conducive to public acceptance to take pictures and sounds as the main forms of communication. At the same time, film and television works have more entertainment and aesthetic functions, and it is easier to popularize the values advocated by themselves to all levels.
But when it comes to historical film and television dramas, the spread of history and culture is another matter.
First of all, we can divide historical dramas into two forms.
One is to make fun of historical plays. This kind of drama will strictly take the recognized historical facts as a main line and cannot be distorted and tampered with. In order to highlight this main line, we need a richer personality and a more logical story. In this respect, the production unit is required to decorate the furnishings and enrich the plot with the same rigorous creative attitude.
Masterpieces of film and television dramas in this field include: Daming Robbery, Daqin Empire Series, Hanwu Emperor, Daming Dynasty, Yongzheng Dynasty Series, March on * * * and so on. As a film and television drama, it is not a history in a strict sense, so it is reasonable to artificially add a lot of plots. That's why this drama is defined as a joke.
Here, let's take Daming Robbery, which is not familiar to everyone, as an example. This film, which was made on 20 13, basically showed the social scene at that time in the form of textbooks. Wu Youke, the earliest epidemiologist in China, met Sun Chuanting, the last courtier in the late Ming Dynasty, to save the country and the people. Although they all did their duty, the world declined, which made it look like a painting by a stranger at the end of the road.
Let's talk about "Ming Dynasty 1566" first. From the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing, Gao Gong and Yan Song began to operate the year-end budget, which brought disasters to the people in the south of the Yangtze River in the coming year, especially Jiajing and Hairui, who were shaped by dramas. Jiajing at the top of power was hard to prevent. Harry, who is at the bottom of power, is the ministerial strong of the sun. The two men lived alone, and every encounter was earth-shattering. The characters in this kind of film and television drama are different, but they all serve the plot, and the promotion of the plot is based on historical development. Therefore, every drama gives people audio-visual shock and spiritual shock.
The audiences who like this kind of film and television drama are historians and ordinary audiences. They already have some knowledge of history. Although they can find some defects, they have to admit that the producers have a strict creative attitude. Of course, there are still some viewers who know nothing about history. Mainly for entertainment, even after reading it, just to kill time.
Therefore, this kind of film and television drama will not affect the historical views of these three audiences.
Let's talk about another historical drama, nonsense about history. Most of them are TV series. The earliest one is "A Joke", and the later one is "Princess Zhu Huan". The concubines in the palace, the best in palace fighting, are treading on thin ice, the originator of the story, and of course, Yongzheng, Fluttershy and Nian Gengyao, all of whom can spit out their names for five minutes. In these plays, the definition of history belongs to costume props, but the writers and directors are too lazy to pay attention to it. Folk customs and palace taboos are even more abandoned. So, is this drama worth it? Nonsense? Two words.
For example, Lord Gan Long in Talking about Gan Long combines face value, martial arts and power. Such a wonderful emperor is really unparalleled. Princess Pearl makes the plot retarded and the characters cartoon. Looking at "Empresses in the Palace", although the ratings are extremely high, it is neither fish nor fowl because the plot is arranged on Yongzheng, who is strict with himself and cruel to others.
The audience of this nonsense drama coincides with the third kind of people who joke about the drama above. They are not interested in historical facts themselves and know nothing about courts, systems, customs and logic. So before watching TV series, I had no impression of China's history and culture. After watching such a TV series, I got nothing, let alone any impact.
