Amnesty 1959： The theme of warmth and coldness can also spread.

Stills of Amnesty 1959.

　　At a time when domestic film and television dramas have almost written all the revolutionary themes, Amnesty 1959 has opened up a new creative perspective, with a fresh, declassified and dramatic plot; Looking back at this special history in the first decade of the founding of New China, tracing back to the reasons for the victory of communist party people is also a spiritual reflection on the present and Do not forget your initiative mind.

　　There are many "explosive" dramas in this summer, but Amnesty 1959 produced by Shanghai is particularly special. Since it was broadcast on CCTV 1 at the end of July, the average daily ratings have exceeded 1%, ranking first in the same period for many times. This series, which was broadcast simultaneously on the Internet and Taiwan, "detonated" a large number of barrage on the video website at the same time, which made the younger generation have a deeper understanding of the early history of the Republic.

　　Amnesty 1959 is the first TV series with the theme of "Amnesty" in China, and it also fills the gap in such TV dramas. The work tells the story of the historical events in which the party and state leaders stood on the historical height, farsighted and farsighted, reformed and pardoned war criminals after the founding of New China. How to achieve hot viewing of cold themes? What kind of exemplary role will this work play in the creation of China’s revolutionary theme? Focusing on these topics, the TV drama "Amnesty 1959" was held in Beijing yesterday under the guidance of the TV drama department of the State Administration of Radio and Television, sponsored by the China Television Arts Committee and co-organized by the Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation.

　　Show the attraction and appeal of the creation of major revolutionary historical themes

　　"At a time when domestic film and television dramas have almost written all the revolutionary themes, Amnesty 1959 has opened up a new creative perspective, with a sense of freshness, declassification and drama; Looking back at this special history in the first decade of the founding of New China and tracing back to the reasons for the victory of communist party people, it is also a spiritual reflection of Do not forget your initiative mind. " Li Jingsheng, vice president of China Federation of Radio, Film and Television Social Organizations, said.

　　After the three major battles of the War of Liberation, a "war of attacking the heart" to transform Kuomintang war criminals began. Amnesty 1959 takes Kutokuhayashi Management Office as the main narrative space, and tells the story of communist party people’s reform and amnesty for war criminals. In the play, a series of policies of our party towards war criminals are truly restored, the background of the times is delicately reproduced, and real historical figures such as Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu and Huang Wei are put on the screen.

　　The uniqueness of the theme brings freshness and adds a lot of difficulty to the narrative. Kutokuhayashi Management Office is developing a group drama with relatively fixed space, and it is difficult to tell a particularly obvious story, which is a narrative problem. According to Professor Yin Hong, director of Tsinghua University Film and Television Communication Center, the key reason for the success of Amnesty 1959 is to gather the original scattered characters with reasonable drama conflicts on the basis of respecting history. There is also a "contempt chain" between the war criminals in the play — — Huangpu School looks down on non-Huangpu School, generals look down on spies, officials look down on officials, and those who demand progress and those who are stubborn are in opposition to each other … … Wang Yingguang, the protagonist in the play and the director of Kutokuhayashi Management Office in charge of the reform of war criminals, is a fictional figure, but it is a collection of images of many communist party cadres at that time. He is educated, educated, responsible, open-minded, and has a firm revolutionary stand. He has complex personal feelings for Kuomintang war criminals because he lost his closest relatives in the War of Liberation. In this particular situation, the intricate interaction between the characters and the compact plot intertwined and pushed forward each other, forming a huge drama tension, which firmly attracted the audience in front of the screen.

　　Feelings and warmth make faith more penetrating of the times.

　　"Amnesty 1959 not only shows communist party’s humanitarian spirit, but also highlights the communist party people ‘ Only by liberating all mankind can we finally liberate ourselves ’ The broad mind also points out that regime change is the historical truth of people’s hearts. " Li Guoyi, secretary general of the Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation, said.

　　Communist party’s victory depends not only on guns, but also on advanced culture which is scientific and represents the law of human development. A "heart-to-heart battle" without gunpowder smoke is sometimes more difficult than fighting each other on the battlefield. Firm belief, theoretical self-confidence and great achievements in social construction have enabled communist party people to conquer their opponents ideologically and pull their former enemies back to the people’s camp. On the Internet, several hearty debates in Amnesty 1959 are full of feelings and warmth, and are called "Do not forget your initiative mind" by the audience, which has caused many netizens to spontaneously extract and spread. In the face of Huang Wei, who did not accept the reform at first and wanted to "wrap his body in a horse", Wang Yingguang made sense of it and pointed out that "the honor of a soldier is based on the people. Without this premise, there is no honor at all "; In the face of the other side’s assertion that "the winner is king and the loser is the enemy", Wang Yingguang even pointed out that "communist party’s victory was due to the will of the people".

　　"In the revolutionary culture and advanced culture led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), in the process of transforming the cultural lag and even the reactionary culture held by war criminals, which culture represents the direction of historical progress? In addition, for traditional spirits such as loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, it is also mentioned in the play that we should stand at the height of the times and reinterpret and understand them. That is the real inheritance and promotion of traditional culture. " Chengxiang Zhong, chairman of the Chinese Literary Critics Association and literary critic, said. (Wen Wei Po reporter Zhang Yuxi)
