"The Eighth Generation General Yoshizono" A big party for the Stanislavskies
Like a giant whale going out to sea to turn the tide, although it is not magnificent, it is still in deep water, and it travels steadily and far. It gives the old shogunate, which is hidden in the undercurrent and poor, a rebirth-like support. It is optimistic, steady, alert, and cautious. It is the portrayal of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the eighth-generation general in my mind. The process of chasing the drama "Jizong" is relatively "bumpy". First, because resources are hard to find, and second, because of the power of delusions to harm people, the rare resources have been found but they have been idle in the online disk for a long time. Looking at the word Jizong, I always feel that this is An ancient and obscure historical drama, with a smell of dust, has repeatedly discouraged the desire to watch. In the end, I made up my mind to catch up, and it really smells good when we step together. A history of the growth of eight generations of generals is not a man's play that blindly describes the struggle for power, but a detailed panorama of the shogun's family life, emotional changes, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and the policy of governance. Styled picture scroll, with James Miki's humane screenwriting style and a script with a solid historical foundation, it reviews the main governance process of the Xiangbao reform and the analysis of relevant world conditions, and organically intersperses Jizong's family and harem life. It can be said that it is a water-oil balanced formula that not only meets the theme of historical popularization but also takes care of the needs of human drama and entertainment. So it’s still business as usual, relying on my fragmented worldview to code some of the most vivid parts of my fragmented feelings. Although I’m afraid that the text is out of order and the words don’t convey the meaning, it should be better than nothing. I have watched this well-known river for a long time. Put some imprints.
The first is history. My habit of "taking care" of history when watching TV dramas can also be said to have a great origin with Jizong's play. A few years ago, in pursuit of Jizong's sinicization resources, I asked Stevetheseeker, the leader of the Nirvana subtitles team, who was still alive at the time, on Weibo. They didn't know each other. I was worried that the other party would misunderstand me because they didn't translate this great river due to different historical views. After reading the dishes, I was locked in a small black room. After several explanations on the trumpet, the misunderstanding was cleared up. After this twists and turns, I strengthened my determination to find Jizong resources. After finishing the play and scribbling a few notes with great interest, the man has died at an early age, and there is one person missing who can rely on resources, can argue and quarrel, and can also be influenced by it to "study hard" Japanese in an attempt to have a future. It is very sad to think that I can become a member of the Nirvana Sinicization Group. As for the inconsistency of historical views, it is a common experience of watching many Dahe films: after watching "Atsuhime", it is mostly because of the combination of Aoi's excellent expressive power, the female narrative power of the script, and the ability to create a super empathetic atmosphere. In terms of history, it is impossible to agree with the fact that a woman who became a chess piece and was brainwashed by her husband and sandwiched between her husband's family's family like a dust-filled woman was willing to be the last butt-wiping paper of the apocalyptic dictatorship. She was packaged as a The hospice doctor with superb medical skills and touching medical ethics, with his powerful political resources, tried his best to prolong the life of the dying patient of the Tokugawa shogunate, make him die with dignity, and sealed his soul after his death (the so-called "Tokugawa").の heart"), but in my opinion, no matter how well-packaged it is, it can't hide the gypsum-powder smell of self-obsessed women who are manipulated and coerced in a patriarchal society, even if they are as noble as Shimadzu's family, the Princess Tokugawa family. Talking about housewives; then "Xinxuan Group" is a "chicken rib" that I never want to watch and can't bear to delete in the online disk for many years. ? It's just an assassination team that has been overly brainwashed to protect the king. Why the new selection group can be filmed again and again is not less popular than it is to hit the G-spot of the "true fragrance" film and television law, which is a huge conflict of opposites. It is packaged as a hot-blooded youth group that defends justice and understands the trend! I was reluctant to delete it because I deleted Da He, who was regarded as a classic by many people and performed on the same stage as the actor they liked, and it was just a feeling of unease.
Speaking of the drama "Jizong", it has tried its best to truly restore the original appearance of history and judge objectively. It has not distorted, magically or even idolized the main values of the drama. Recognize, do not spit unhappiness. For example, Jizong's superior, how did Jizong ascend to the position? The script is to write it into a dream story, that is, the No. 0-N heir standing in front of Jizong chooses an avalanche-style fancy death. The number is the male protagonist who is strong in body and mind, surrounded by counselors, and only waiting for the east wind. But what about the facts? If you think about it carefully, each of us is a conspirator and executioner. The superior of Jizong can only draw two strong conclusions: one is that the health management and dietary nutrition of the ancient Japanese were too careless, resulting in one death after another, all of which seem to have nothing to do with our Jizong Group Any relationship; the second is that the biggest contributor to Jizong's achievement is not himself, but the loyal and resourceful retainers around him. Without their series of plans, there would be no us N+1 The appearance of the No. 1 contestant, this sunny and inspiring upper history may hide a bloody story after another invisible person. This conjecture was confirmed in a sentence when Jiutong advised Jizong not to change his heir in his later years, he said. "Don't let the tragedy of Lord Lai Shi (Second Brother Lai Fang) repeat itself!". So what does this have to do with history? This is what I want to say, stories are stories, history is history, don’t forget the reality of history because of the packaging of stories, the story is luscious salmon, then the reality is the smelly fish stomach, no one will fall into the hole! There is no way to make a fortune by inspiration alone. This is just a TV series that promotes the truth, the good and the beautiful. It is wrapped in a greenhouse of the truth, the good and the beautiful, and the brain development will not be very good. Another example is the overall policy of Jizong. It is still trying to maintain the feudal dictatorship of the shogunate and suppress the rise and development of the industrial and commercial class. It is a conservative policy, and the borrowing disputes between farmers, samurai and financial merchants are roughly and bluntly passed on to the common people to solve themselves through the "relative economic decree", which completely "liberates" the judiciary. The beasts are used to suppress them. These are all foreign images of the shogunate; although there are also many livelihood measures that benefit the country and the people in the reform of protection, but "Yu does not cover the flaws", Yoshizong just used the rope to hold the shogunate so as not to let it pass. Premature decline and death did not really open their eyes to the ills of the country, to see the trend of the world, and to pursue an enlightened policy of prosperity and prosperity. He goes all out but fails to achieve it, and for the country is insufferable and unsatisfactory; so overall, he can only be regarded as an excellent shogun, but not a wise head of state. The evaluation of Kanmatsumon Zaemon is still good. Objective and polite.
The second is governance. I don't dare to talk about politics, I just pick and talk about the points I feel. I really like to watch the old and middle-aged people fight with each other in front of Ji Zong, and Ji Zong can also extract opinions, gain insight into the world, and appreciate people's hearts from their political theories. What impressed me more was not the specific policy of the Baobao reform, but the debate on whether to govern the world by laws or morals. This proposition is self-evident to this day, but in that special era, the core of the internal structure of the shogunate was the loyalty and righteousness of the monarchs and ministers. However, in the face of its own internal and external troubles and the rise of the new industrial class, the spiritual principles of morality and loyalty of the martial arts have long been unable to constrain and control the world. The senior officials of the shogunate are basically divided into two factions whose positions are not very clear. One is the one that advocates the suppression of legal orders and the other that advocates morality. From time to time, the two sides "go out of a wall" to stand on the opposite side. This situation often occurs in their own side. When the policy cannot be implemented. This embarrassing swing of the rule of thumb is a manifestation of the irreconcilable contradiction between the foundation of the shogunate’s rule and the general trend of national development. The final direction of legal policy formulation is to maintain the repressive rule of the shogunate. When the policy does not work, it must rely on the shackles of the spiritual level Let’s take a pinch of the head of a restless good citizen-in fact, I feel that this set of methods is a bit familiar? Or the binding mechanism of law and morality has been a relationship between husband and wife since ancient times, but in different eras, the formulas are similar and the concentration Not the same. Comparison of ancient and modern, history is really a mirror wow! In the finale, Kinmatsumon commented on the great difference in the human scene created by the ancient and modern policies of governing the world, saying that the Japanese in the Tokugawa shogunate era were loyal, moral, emotional, and distinctive, while today's Japan is economically prosperous and the world is in great governance, but the world is becoming more and more popular. The people are indifferent and morally corrupt. Which formula is the real recipe for governing the world? There is a saying that "law is the lowest level of morality". I don't judge right or wrong. Anyway, I think it's quite right haha. Law is a good way to govern the world. It minimizes the cost of governance and improves efficiency, but the effect of governance is relatively flat and homogeneous. In the world, the government structure looks solid and may collapse at any time, but the human heart can receive high-purity purification and targeted therapy (although the therapeutic effect also depends on the ruling class). He has a bright personality and a lot of energy. You don't need to go abroad or take a time machine. You can also ask the older generation of your family to understand the difference in the mental outlook between the 1950s and 1960s and the contemporary people. Therefore, in order to rule the world, the most important thing is to grasp the people's hearts, laws and morals should not be neglected, and the way of flexibility is the king's way.
The third is the big party of the Stanislavskis, plus one point for the question! What is Stanislavsky's performance system? We don't understand it, and we don't dare to ask. I'm afraid it's a legend that has long been far away. Is there anyone in this world who trains acting according to this system? Or how many people in the actor industry care about this system? In Ji Zong's play, a large number of old drama bones have gathered. They are really old, really skinny, and really interesting! I don't know if they are authentic skeets, but the rigorous and systematic performance training and long-term skills they have received are all vividly displayed in the detailed performance of a frown and a smile, showing a wisp of classical The fragrance of performing arts skills! Now let me name a few names in the form of a running account, and applaud one by one for my truly impressed acting skills:
Otaki Hideharu, who plays Tokugawa Kosada, always contains a sober way of managing the world in a little old-fashioned manner, but his ambiguous pronunciation hits Lai Fang's young heart with every word, and his swollen eye circles can reflect sharp eyes. When the weather is sunny, he is a group of gentle and auspicious Lao Sixi balls. At critical moments, the eagle's claws are sharp and quick to make decisions. Whether it is governing the country, raising children, or dealing with difficult affairs such as successor candidates, I think he is one more than his son Ji Zong. Open-minded and decisive, the first half is full of rich elements of rain and snow and an unspeakable taste of humanity because of the existence of Duke Guangzheng, which is especially delicious!
Masahiko Tsugawa, who plays Tsunayoshigong, is really hard to pick from the old right wing's acting skills. The same person performs, closes your eyes and tastes it, Tsunayoshi and Ieyasu are simply the same face, two people! Even if you let the old man play multiple roles in a play, you can clearly distinguish it, unlike a large number of actors now, who are playing themselves from beginning to end in their acting career! Ieyasu needless to say, that is the god of the king; Gangji, that is also a very trivial man with a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law. A lot of close-up shots are used in this drama, which is a very test of acting skills. The old actors such as Masahiko Tsugawa, Mitsuko Kusanagi, Minashi Kobayashi, etc., at first glance, have solid stage skills, slow motion scenes, and precise control of facial muscles. Changes, the subtle inner ups and downs and the gradual changes in emotional concentration are fully displayed. Tsunayoshigong said to the adult Yoshizong full of tears, "I really want to have a son like you, Tsunayoshi!" The scene of the old man's lower eyelids holding back the tears and slowly exerting force to make it flow down, which brings out all the despair and sadness.
Toru Jiang, who plays the role of Kanmatsumon Zaemon, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, let me laugh for a while. It can be said that I like Miki Dahe's technique very much. This alternative narration not only adds a lot of historical knowledge annotations to the play itself, but also adds a dual perspective of ancient and modern care, which is very unique and interesting. The old man Jiang Shou can be said to be the leader of this group of "Stanislavsky Gala". His vivid imitation, flexible and ingenious narration tone, full of fun and old-fashioned style, "old-fashioned" The performance of skill really shows the audience an ancient playwright who has traveled through time, and who has a wealth of experience and is constantly laughing and scolding. It seems that he still has the scent of Japanese wine and powdered ink mixed with his pen and ink. Gee, this comprehensive strength is too retro. Too slay! There have always been rumors that the old man Jiang Shou likes to drink flower wine, and the wine is very poor. Hahahaha, it is just that there is no distinction between ancient and modern, and the actors are one Liao.
In contrast, Nishida Toshiyuki, who is the protagonist, can only say that his interpretation of the role of Yoshizong is not satisfactory in my opinion. Perhaps it was against the aura of many supporting roles, or perhaps under the influence of the drama style that emphasized historical facts, incarnation of Ji Zong, hard work but not mistakes. There are less opportunities to show individual charm, especially in the later years of the repeated embarrassment about the successor of the ninth generation of generals, the acting is a little too procrastinated by the mother-in-law, lacks a little sense of hierarchy, and is a little bit facial; but this can not be regarded as an actor's pot, This is the embodiment of the comprehensive effect of the screenwriter, director, and filming. Our Minmin's strength is the only one that cannot be doubted haha.
There are also many excellent old actors who have made wonderful appearances in this drama, and they cannot be exhausted one by one. It can only be said that the older generation of artists in the entertainment industry have well inherited and carried forward some classical performance methods. This is a high-purity cultural experience that is far from being compatible with today's fast-moving cultural era. Only such people can be called inheritors of art, and can be called "artists". Therefore, it is possible to gather so many excellent old artists and interpret such works of antique charm. How can we not say that it is a big gathering of Stanislavskies?
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
