What are the latest time-travel dramas at home and abroad?

"Walking on thin ice" produced by Shanghai Tangren Film Production Co., Ltd.

"Impact, strong impact, stunned brain waves." This is the reason why the heroine in "Walking on Thin Ice" found herself crossing. It sounds crazy, but the whole play begins. At the beginning of the story, Zhang Xiao, a modern woman, traveled to Matai Ruoxi (played by Liu Shishi) in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty because of a car accident, and then the whole play revolves around Ruoxi. On the one hand, she is a female official who served tea in Kangxi's command, and she has close and complicated emotional entanglements with her brothers; On the other hand, she is also a modern person who is familiar with history. She tried to take advantage of this to avoid the cruelty of history, but unconsciously played the role of "the nine sons seized the office".

However, unlike Gong Suo Xin Yu, Walking on Thin Ice spent more time thinking about the influence of "crossing" on history, that is, it solved the most important "grandmother paradox" in time travel. In the play, Ruoxi's only attempt to change the historical trend has become a key factor to promote historical development. For example, the universe has already set a trap to prevent mortals from interfering with the logic of the time dimension. This meticulous plot arrangement has made the tragic atmosphere of "Walking on Thin Ice" itself, and also made it a rare masterpiece of similar dramas in China, which is also an important reason why it can still watch amazing ratings on the premise of missing the golden summer file.

In addition to crossing, fighting and emotional entanglements, another highlight of this drama is the "digital legion" composed of princes. Two veteran idols, Nicky Wu and Kevin Cheng, led the struggle between the two factions in the Party respectively. Among them, Nicky Wu subverts the previous image, playing the four elder brothers, the cold-faced prince; Kevin Cheng plays the eight elder brothers who laugh like a warm sun but are criticized as "soft and treacherous" by Kangxi; and Han Dong (playing nine elder brothers), Ye Zuxin (playing ten elder brothers), Justin (playing thirteen elder brothers), Kenny Lin (playing fourteen elder brothers) and other new generation handsome guys.

The Collection of Qin Xun produced by TVB

Searching for Qin is adapted from the novel of the same name by Huang Yi, a Hong Kong martial arts novelist. Xiang Shaolong (Louis Koo), an elite of special forces in 2 1 century, happened to take part in a time travel experiment. The destination is Xianyang City in the year when Ying Zheng, King of Qin, ascended the throne during the Warring States Period. Unexpectedly, time and space went wrong and was sent to Zhao, more than three years before Ying Zheng ascended the throne. Later, he helped Zhao Pan to pretend to be Ying Zheng, helped him win the throne, and finally destroyed the six countries and unified the world.

In the Chinese-speaking drama series, the story of seeking Qin is a pioneering story, and the protagonist's participation in historical events is also the deepest. Of course, this is not Xiang Shaolong's intention. His participation in the time travel experiment was just a mistake, and the machine error was beyond his control. Only by finding Ying Zheng who is holding Zhao hostage and helping him unify the world can he return to his own world. However, Ying Zheng was defeated in Zhao, so he had to find a fake Ying Zheng and finally helped him ascend to the throne of the emperor. For him, his revision of history is to try his best to restore the history recorded in the book, and ironically, even his children born in ancient times have become a part of history.

The play was broadcast on 200 1, and gathered TVB stars such as Louis Koo, Jessica Hester Hsuan and Jiang Hua, as well as old actors familiar to the audience such as Wang Wei, Yan Bide, Li Zixiong and Sydney. 1999, Sonija Kwok, the champion of Hong Kong sister, became an instant hit because of this drama. Hong Kong singer Cher and Yuan Jiaban's brother Yuan Wah also joined the luxury star group of this drama. However, the popularity of Qin Xun Ji is not only due to the luxury of the cast, but more importantly, its bold "subversion" of history is unprecedented. Before the broadcast, producer and general director Qing said that he just wanted to find some fresh elements and try a new route. If the audience likes it, they can open up a new kind of drama.

Love through time and space

If there is any time-travel drama in China that can almost reach the same status as Qin Xun Ji, it is probably the love that travels through time and space. This is one of the earliest time travel dramas in Chinese mainland. It tells the story that the habitual thief Xiao Zi (Zhang Ting) and policewoman Zhang Chuchu (Liu Lili) fought for the "Sleeping Fairy Pillow" in the cultural relics exhibition in the Ming Dynasty. Finally, they traveled together to the early Ming Dynasty and fell in love with Zhu Yunwen (Xu zhēng) and Judy respectively. Two women who traveled from modern times to the Ming Dynasty tried to change history and avoid the "Jingnan War" in which Judy overthrew Zhu Yunwen and seized the throne. However, their subtle unintentional actions became the reason for the misunderstanding between Judy and Lianyun's uncle.

Although Maruko and Zhang Chuchu crossed because of Sleeping Fairy Pillow, there is a huge environmental factor in their crossing: thirteen stars are connected together, that is, the positions of the thirteen stars are just in a straight line. In the history of China, multi-satellite conjunction has always been regarded as a harbinger of major changes such as war, catastrophe and even the end of the world. It is reasonable to explain the time gap required for crossing. Later, Palace also used similar reasons (nine planets conjunction) to achieve crossing. Unfortunately, however, scientists tell us that nine planets Gobang only appeared once in 6,000 years, while ten-star Gobang does not exist at all, so it is impossible to wear it back to ancient times with astronomical eyes in more than ten years, like love or palace that travels through time and space.

However, TV plays do not necessarily need rigorous science. Love Through Time and Space, although it made a basic mistake in astronomical knowledge, is still an enduring classic in domestic TV series. Screenwriter Mo Qian was the responsible editor of Jiangsu Literature and Art Publishing House. Most of the early works of Taiwan Province romantic novelists such as Xi Juan and Qing Yu were introduced to the mainland by him, and he knew all the elements of romantic comedies that the audience loved. At the same time, the actors magnified the character's personality and emotions with exaggerated and funny performances. It is not surprising that even a small role as a walk-on can show his personality and win the hearts of the audience.

Myth production: Shanghai Shangying Emperor Culture Development Co., Ltd..

The two travelers took different paths: with the help of the treasure chest, Yi Xiaochuan, played by Hugh, traveled to ancient times and was mistaken for Meng Yi, the younger brother of Meng Tian and the general of Qin, while Gao Yao, played by him, became the traitor Zhao Gao. From the late Qin dynasty to the early Han dynasty, they gradually moved from friends to enemies; Good and evil took different paths, but they were forced to be trapped in the Heavenly Palace because they also swallowed the elixir. It took more than two thousand years until Yi Xiaochuan's brother Yi Dachuan solved the mystery of the treasure chest. At the end of the story, the ultimate battle took place in the Heavenly Palace. Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan's lover Princess Yushu (Bai Bing) died, and Yi Xiaochuan lost the ability to live forever because of the collapse of the Heavenly Palace.

The play was born out of the movie of the same name starring Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Seon in 2005. The background is the same, and some characters and plots are the same, but the plot direction and solution are different. Jackie Chan's character returned to modernity with the help of jewelry, while Hugh's character returned to modernity in an extremely rare way-living alone for more than 2,000 years, counting the days until his primitive era came. More than 2000 years of loneliness and patience have added to the sadness of the couple's death, and a huge sense of loss hangs over the final outcome, which may be the reason why the adapted TV series is more sad than the movie.

Myth, as a time-travel drama in Qin Dynasty, is almost inferior to Zhu Yu's "Searching for Qin" in word of mouth, but the behind-the-scenes team led by Jackie Chan and Tang Jili makes the whole TV series far superior to ordinary TV series in visual effects and details. It is precisely because of this that when it was broadcast on CCTV8, the average audience rating of Myth was above 3. 1%, and the highest audience rating of a single episode was as high as 4. 13%, setting a new record for CCTV 8. After that, it was broadcast in Taiwan Province Province. The first episode set a record of 8: 00 premiere since the beginning of the 20th century with the audience rating of 1.90, and then the audience rating rose day by day, reaching an average of 2.06.

"Palace Lock Heart Jade" produced by Hunan Shi Jing Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

Crossing sometimes makes no sense. For Luo Qingchuan (Yang Mi), the heiress of an antique shop, she just ran into a mysterious forest in pursuit of a beautiful picture, fell into just visiting, crossed to the Qing Dynasty, then went to the palace to be a maid of honor, met May 4th (Michael) and May 8th (William Feng), and got involved in the famous battle for the throne during the Kangxi period. As a modern girl who loves history and worships Yong Zhengdi, she soon fell in love with Mei. However, in the following days, on the one hand, she was moved by Mei's tenderness and affection, on the other hand, she was appalled by Mei's cruel means. In the dispute between concubines and the seizure of power by the prince, her status and love deviated from the original idea.

As a romantic comedy, "Palace Lock Heart Jade" does not need to give a reasonable and scientific reason for Luo Qing Chuan's crossing, but there is a detail that shows the writer's consideration in crossing time and space: Su (Princess Empress), like Qing Chuan who crossed the past from modern times, changed history by saving Yungege, but triggered a "butterfly effect". Yungege not only disappeared from everyone's memory, but also became the emperor's favorite. So, when Qingchuan tried to change history and help Mei seize power and inherit reunification, Mei's biological mother Liang Fei advised her not to do so-because no one could afford the consequences of changing history.

Despite all kinds of negative rumors, such as plagiarism, Palace, under the banner of "China's first clean-packed drama", still exploded instantly, with the highest audience rating of 3, and the audience rating share of the finale was as high as 16.74%, making it the highest-rated drama of provincial satellite TV in recent five years. Such explosive popularity not only made William Feng and Yang Mi, who played the leading roles in the play, directly promoted to domestic first-line stars, but also made JUNG WOO, who became popular after Qing Palace, more established his status as a popular brother in the domestic screenwriter circle.

Lost produced by ABC

Ocean Airlines Flight 8 15 from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, USA crashed on a mysterious tropical island in the South Pacific, and the survivors lived a thrilling life on an isolated desert island. This is a lost story. Although this series didn't take the generalized "time travel" as the main line at first, it allowed each character to carry out "multi-angle flashback" to complete conscious crossing. However, the truth of time travel began to surface from S4E05 "Constant", which is regarded as the most classic masterpiece among fans of Lost. In the fifth season, the drama follows two different timelines: the survivors who did not leave the island experienced irregular time-space transfer and were finally trapped in 1974, while the survivors who left the island lived in a normal timeline and finally returned to the island in 2007. After the hydrogen bomb exploded at the end of the fifth season, two new timelines appeared in the sixth season, namely "Flash World" and "The Real World".

The core charm of Lost lies in many complicated and unsolved mysteries, including the nature of the island and the ending of the six seasons of Monster or Other. Lost still leaves a lot of hidden foreshadowing, without telling the audience the answer. The decline in ratings and the mixed ending also make Lost a little lost. However, Lost eventually became a generation of drama with its story-telling method that created a new vision and its complex and grand world outlook, and triggered a new wave of American TV dramas and science fiction.

Doctor Who produced by BBC

He is a humanoid alien, he is a time Lord, but he is the last orphan of this race. He has no fixed place, and the only way he knows is to wander and travel in time and space. His plane looks like a British police booth in the middle of last century. He called it tardis-the relative dimension of time and space, the relative dimension of time and space. He also brought a 10 inch sonic screwdriver. He wandered in the history of the earth, sometimes he strictly followed the laws of nature, and sometimes he corrected the historical process. He loved many people and was loved by many people; But at the same time, he is also regarded as an enemy by many people. He has no name. People call him "Doctor". His story is Doctor Who.

Since the rebroadcast in 2005, the doctor's attitude towards the history of the earth has taken a wonderful turn: in the first four seasons, he was more like an observer. Whether he returned to Pompeii before the destruction or fell in love with elegant and intelligent Madame de Pompadour, he never intervened in history, but "visited here" in historical events that were regarded as mysteries by later generations; It was not until the fourth season's Halloween special "Water of Mars" that he corrected history and tore open the time gap. So after the fifth season, the doctor began to interfere with the history of the earth frequently. The single linearity of the time dimension is destroyed. The past is not necessarily the past and the future is not necessarily the future. The audience needs to carefully distinguish the events on different timelines to find out which doctor is knocking at the door now.

Since 1963, Doctor Who has been broadcast on BBC for 32 seasons. Although it has stopped broadcasting, as the longest sci-fi series in the world recognized by Guinness World Records, its significance has surpassed TV programs and become a part of social culture. In the past half century, the protagonist of "Doctor" has changed 1 1, but the charm of the play has never fallen. With the growth of British people from generation to generation, it was voted as the third largest TV program in Britain in the 20th century, which shows that its classic status is no less than the similar TV series Star Trek in the United States.

Star Trek Producer: Paramount Film Company

"The universe, the last frontier of mankind, is the journey of the starship Enterprise. Its continuous mission is to explore a strange new world, find new life and new civilization, and bravely sail to an unprecedented universe. " In the world of Star Trek, human beings have conquered all the disasters on the earth, whether it is Captain James Kirk and Chief Officer Spock in the original series, or Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Chief Officer William Rick, who are called "the next generation". Their roles on the Enterprise are all exploring the universe, looking for a new world, welcoming new civilizations, and helping to spread peace and understanding.

In order to roam and shuttle in light-year galaxies, the "crossing" function of Enterprise has become a basic requirement. Warp flight is the most common way to shorten the space distance quickly in Star Trek. It overlaps the starting point and the ending point in the high-dimensional space, thus achieving superluminal flight and avoiding the distortion of the timeline. Optical wave transmission is the best choice for crossing on the time axis. At the same time, Star Trek uses the theory of "parallel world" to eliminate the single linearity of time dimension, thus eliminating the possible logical influence of time travel. For Star Trek, "crossing" is by no means an accident of a whim, but has always been taken seriously with a prudent scientific attitude.

Star Trek has existed for more than forty years since Jean-Robert Berry created this universe. During this period, * * has six generations of TV series, 1 1 movies, hundreds of novels, video games and other fictional works, which constantly fill and support it and make it glow with eternal glory. Its influence has gone beyond the entertainment circle itself, and has played an active role in teaching and promoting social, political and even scientific research. In fact, the remote life detector, laser rifle and other technologies in Star Trek have changed from science fiction to practical application. As for warp flight? Maybe one day it will appear in the real world.

Life on Mars produced by BBC

Sam Taylor (John Simm), the chief inspector of Manchester Police Department, was involved in a car accident in 2006, but he woke up at 1973 and became a detective under another protagonist of this film, Gini Hunt (Philip Granst). Sam's methods of handling cases all come from the 20th century, which is incompatible with the British police in 1973. In addition, the community culture, neighborhood relations and even family relations in the 1970s made Sam feel the real cultural differences. However, a few words on the radio made him wonder: did he really cross it, or did he have a dream in 2006 because of coma, or was he a schizophrenic from 65438 to 0973?

In 1973, Sam banged on the radio desperately to get every bit of information in 2006, but when he finally returned to 2006, he found himself feeling nothing there. He finally realized that his crossing was not accidental, not meaningless, but let him find his true belonging. However, does the last lyric of David Poewe's famous song "Life on Mars", "Is there life on Mars", also symbolize people's yearning and myth for another era? As another version of the play implies, the meaning of life seems to be somewhere else forever.

Life on Mars was produced by a famous film company for BBC Wales, and the company also produced popular TV series MI5 and Snitch, which were broadcast on BBC One in 2006 and 2007. His ingenious script conception and insight and ridicule on British society not only won him the best TV drama awards in 2006 and 2008, but also made his ratings popular all the way. In the last episode of two seasons, the audience exceeded 7 million, and the viewing share reached an astonishing 28%. However, perhaps it is because the title, plot details and characters of the play are too British. American ABC tried to remake, which had a sad effect. It only aired for one season and ended in a hurry.

A New Era of Prehistoric Produced by Fox

In 2 149, the earth came to the darkest moment, and the resources were on the verge of exhaustion and the environment could not be restored. Even humans have to rely on gas masks to breathe. But scientists have found a time gap. They sent a detector that hit the signal light and found a new time flow at the end of the crack, which is another parallel world. Therefore, there is no need to worry about "butterfly effect" and "grandmother paradox". Man has been given a second chance by God to correct all kinds of mistakes he has made in the history of evolution. So they successfully opened a door of prehistoric times, sent mankind to 85 million years ago, and established the first colony "New Era" there.

At the same time, Jim Shannon (Jason Omara), who was imprisoned in 2 149 because of super-birth (the law stipulates that a couple can only have two children), also successfully escaped from prison and smuggled his little daughter into the "new era" to live a new life with the wife of a legal immigrant and two adolescent children. As a family, they also got a second chance to start over. "Welcome to heaven." The female official who received them said; Indeed, the "new era" has sunshine, air, frolicking running water and fresh food. Compared with the smoky 2 149, it is really like a paradise here. But there is no paradise without sacrifice: in the era when carnivorous dinosaurs ruled the earth, human beings came with tens of millions of years of intrigue. How do the settlers in the "new era" survive between the great challenges of nature and the darkness and cruelty of human nature?

As a Fox drama series produced by Spielberg, Tairuo Village has strong financial backing and super consumption power. The crew spent 15 weeks in Queensland, Australia, setting up a "new era" scene, much like Avatar, and the prehistoric special effects such as dinosaurs were entrusted to the team led by Kevin Blank, the visual director of Mission Impossible 3. It can be said that TV plays are made with the input of shooting. With Jason O'Mara, Shirley Cohen and Steven Lang as the stars, you can fully understand why it is the most expensive sci-fi series so far. It is said that the production cost of the first episode reached 20 million dollars-equivalent to the price of shooting Skyscraper twice.
