To be honest, it's really been a long time since I've seen any historical dramas online. For many years, no director dared to touch historical themes, and I feel that the audience now loves to watch suspense dramas more.

This historical drama has been hidden for nine years, and it has been prepared for a while, but for various reasons, it has not been able to meet everyone.

So what's worth watching about this show?

- < Dust has been sealed for a long time> -

Now "The Wind Rises in the Desert" is finally going to meet us, this historical masterpiece that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, after nine years of polishing, is finally going to meet the audience.

From the original "The Legend of Huo Qu's Disease" to the current "The Wind Rises in the Desert", this historical drama, the change in name alone reminds people of many stories.

Who would have expected that this would be a full nine years, reduced from 75 episodes to 0 episodes, and has undergone countless later revisions and repeated verification of historical materials, which is really a grind.

After nine years of sharpening a sword, Huo Qubing is finally coming out of the sheath! This historical drama has gone through many twists and turns, and from the start of filming in 9 to the present, it has been backlogged for a whole 0 to 0 years.

This drama is "The Wind Rises in the Desert", which was originally called "The Legend of Huo Qu's Disease". started filming in 2017 years, and it was completed in 0 years, and the result was nearly nine years after sinking. But now that the name has been changed and the episode has been deleted, it has passed the review quickly, which can be regarded as a fire before it is broadcast!

The story revolves around Huo Quzhi's short but brilliant life. He was made a marquis at the age of 23 and died young at the age of 0. His six blows to the Xiongnu are only a few strokes in the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han".

Now it has been reduced to 75 episodes, and the production team has placed special emphasis on "reasonable creation based on the official history", reducing the scenes of Gong Dou and increasing the description of battlefield scenes and brotherhood, which feels like making the director more handy.

為了重現秦漢時期的風貌，劇組搭建了16萬平方米的長安城，跑遍了內蒙古和貴州進行取景，拍攝時有124匹馬跟拍，展現的大漠孤煙、屍橫遍野的戰場畫面被讚譽為“粗獷而真實”。

Zhang Ruoyun can be regarded as a key figure in this drama, he has become a popular role in costume dramas with "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Sword in the Snow", but the role of Huo Quzhi is more challenging. The kind of pride and iron-blooded demeanor of the young general is completely different from Fan Xian's chic and clever image......

The higher the popularity, the greater the risk, and the backlog drama often becomes cannon fodder due to aesthetic backwardness and various adjustments. Although "The Wind Rises in the Desert" has been censored, the length of episode 75 still seems a bit lengthy.

Fans of historical dramas are very picky about details, like the Huns' costumes and etiquette, if there is a little mistake, the evaluation may plummet. But now it seems that the audience's expectations should make the show recognized.

In 2016, when the filming of "The Wind Rises in the Desert" officially started, not many people could have expected that this drama would have to go through such a long wait. At that time, the historical drama market was in full swing, with various themes emerging in endlessly, and it was really lively.

But who would have thought that this hugely invested project would encounter a lot of difficulties in the later stage, and the censorship of historical dramas would become extremely strict, which became a major stumbling block for it.

In recent years, in order to ensure the authenticity and ideology of historical dramas, the review has become more and more intensive. "The Wind Rises in the Desert", a drama about famous generals in the Han Dynasty, naturally did not escape this hurdle.

Every detail and every line has been repeatedly pondered and revised to meet the review standards, which undoubtedly makes the post-production time a lot longer.

It's also a hassle that the original version is too long, and the scale of 92 episodes may make it difficult for viewers to stick to it in today's fast-paced era. However, if the content is exciting, the audience will still buy it.

Audience preferences are constantly changing, and so is the market. On the basis of retaining the essence of the plot, how to conform to the current audience's viewing habits has become a difficult problem that the production team urgently needs to solve.

This long wait gave the production team more time to polish the work. In order to show the most realistic Han Dynasty scenes, the crew built the largest Qin and Han Dynasty film and television city in Hengdian Film and Television City so far.

In this process, the actors really put in a lot of effort. In order to present the most realistic war scenes, they even took the risk of shooting live-action, and this kind of professionalism is really admirable.

When it comes to Huo Quzhi, he is really a legendary general in Chinese history. He became a general at the age of 24 and reached the pinnacle of his life at the age of 0, which is really amazing.

Huo Quzhi's growth process, the grand ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the support of Wei Qing, and the threat of the Xiongnu have all become the highlights of this drama, and the director has also paid special attention to it......

In terms of historical details, the plot shows the process of Huo Qubing from his youth to growing into a god of war, and also reflects the ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the pressure of the county order. In addition, the deep brotherhood between Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, and how they dealt with the invasion of the Huns, greatly enhanced the drama and urgency of the story.

The war scenes can be described as a highlight of this drama, and the large-scale cavalry clash alone invited thousands of horses and thousands of extras, and the scene was amazingly spectacular.

Such a scale is rare in today's TV drama production. To be honest, many historical dramas nowadays rely on special effects to make up the numbers, and it is rare to see spectacular scenes like this.

What is particularly exciting is that many historical details are carefully restored in the play, such as the tension of Huo Quzhi when he first served as a general, as well as his improvisation on the battlefield, and the bits and pieces he experienced with the soldiers.

When it comes to the cast, this drama is really full of sincerity! Compared with those historical dramas that rely on traffic to support the façade, the actors of "The Wind Rises in the Desert" are almost all powerful, which is definitely worth looking forward to.

It was Zhang Ruoyun who played Huo Quai, to be honest, when I first learned that the newcomer was the protagonist, I, like many viewers, also had a wait-and-see mentality.

從曝光的預告片來看，那個雄偉的戰爭場面真讓人感覺像是回到了兩千年前的漢匈對決現場。

Huo Quzhi played by Zhang Ruoyun is really a legendary character, who has grown from the son of a slave to a young general who is a wolf, and it makes people want to cheer for him when he listens.

Da Shan Yu played by Hu Jun and Zhen E played by Mao Xiaotong have added a lot of highlights to this drama, and the addition of the old drama bone Chen Baoguo has made the acting level of the whole drama rise sharply, which is really exciting!

The story of "The Wind Rises in the Desert" is inspired by the records in the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", which tells the grand history of the Han-Hungarian War. The crew put a lot of effort into the costumes and props, so that this history seems more real and believable.

The production of a suit of armor alone would take months. This drama "The Wind Rises in the Desert" is also in full swing in the copyright competition of major video platforms, and it is expected to be launched in the summer of 2025.

This drama not only fills the gap of domestic historical dramas, but also revitalizes historical dramas again. It is really commendable to attract the attention of young people without losing the historical charm.
