长篇历史题材电视剧《汉武大帝》在中央电视台黄金时段播出后,曾引起观众不小的轰动。至今,社会各界对它的议论声依然不绝于耳,足见这部作品是有影响力和感染力的。本期所刊罗辛同志的文章,系作者对社会上批评《汉武大帝》的某些观点所持有的不同意见。同时,该文也阐明了作者对历史题材电视剧创作的若干看法。我们应当怎样来创作历史题材电视剧?就这个问题本刊曾隆重开展过多次争鸣和研讨。现在看来,此类争鸣和研讨还得不断进行下去。理由就是因为它涉及的因素太复杂了。首先,它就涉及到那个历史观的老问题,是“英雄创造历史,还是人民创造历史”;其次,反映封建时代的作品是否须“暴露黑暗”,怎样来暴露,如前时在社会上引起大讨论的“权谋文化为谁而谋”等等;再次,历史的真实与艺术的真实之争……凡此种种,不一而足。实际上,人们的思想观念也罢,文艺观念也罢,理当都是与时俱进的。倘若我们用“先进文化”这块科学的透镜来审视问题、研判问题,也许泾渭就分得更明,道理也说得更清了。当然,具体的问题还得具体分析,并不那么简单和直观,尤其对涉及到人们思想观念的问题,你要让大家心悦诚服,就得摆事实、讲道理,和风细雨地来进行。我们热切地欢迎各界人士继续就此类话题展开争鸣和研讨。同时,我们也衷心地期盼通过争鸣和研讨,大家能逐步取得共识并能有力地促进历史题材电视剧创作的健康发展和日益繁荣。 A long historical theme TV drama “Han Wu Tai” prime time in the CCTV broadcast, has aroused the audience a big stir. So far, the voices of the critics from all walks of life are still heard. This shows that this work is influential and contagious. The article published in this issue of Comrade Rossin is the author’s disagreement with some critics of the “Han Wu Dadi” in society. At the same time, the article also clarifies the author’s views on the creation of historical TV series. How should we create the drama of historical themes? On this issue we have conducted many grand debates and discussions. It now appears that such debate and discussion must continue. The reason is because the factors involved are too complicated. First of all, it refers to the old question of that view of history: “Does the hero create history or the people create history?” Secondly, how do the works that reveal the feudal age have to be “exposed to the darkness” and exposed as in the past The discussion of “conspiracy culture for whom to seek” and so on; Third, the true history of the art and the real struggle of art ... ... All these, all the more. In fact, no matter whether people think in terms of ideas or concepts of literature and art, they should always keep pace with the times. If we examine the issue with the lens of advanced culture, we may find it clearer and the reason will be clearer. Of course, concrete problems have to be analyzed in concrete terms. It is not so simple and straightforward. In particular, if you want to make people heartfelt and sincere about issues involving people’s ideas and concepts, you should put facts, reason and temperament. We sincerely welcome people from all walks of life to continue their debate and discussion on such topics. At the same time, we also sincerely hope that through contention and discussion, we will gradually gain consensus and can vigorously promote the healthy development and prosperity of historical TV series.
