China News Service, Hangzhou, September 30th. Zhejiang Radio and Television Group's first AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content, artificial intelligence generated content) drama documentary "Tang Shouqian 1911" was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV on the evening of the 30th and will be launched simultaneously on all platforms.
Tang Shouqian is a modern pioneer who came out of Evolution Town, Xiaoshan, Hangzhou. He presided over the construction of Zhejiang's first railway and led the road protection movement. After the Revolution of 1911 in 1911, he was elected as the first governor of Zhejiang, and together with Zhang Jian, he was known as "South Tang and North Zhang".
"Tang Shouqian 1911" is based on a large amount of historical documents and rigorous textual research. It innovatively integrates plot narrative, scene reproduction and AIGC digital scene restoration technology, focusing on several key choices in Tang Shouqian's life: from advocating constitutionalism to save the country, to fighting to defend the right of way of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and then to promoting the peaceful recovery of Hangzhou during the Revolution of 1911. The film vividly creates a vivid image of the "commoner governor", profoundly interprets his integrity and integrity that "competing for profit belongs to a villain, and greed for fame is not a good scholar", and demonstrates the spiritual character of a generation of Zhejiang intellectuals who care about the people and bravely shoulder the responsibility of their country.
The film restores the touching events of Zhejiang's road-rejection movement in the late Qing Dynasty: Faced with attempts by foreign capital to seize railway rights, Tang Shouqian joined forces with Zhejiang gentry and businessmen to fight for the rights of the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and firmly advocated private construction of the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and the rejection of external loans. Road construction cost a lot of money, and people from all walks of life enthusiastically subscribed for Zhejiang Road Company shares. Participants ranged from gentry and wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, and the equivalent of nearly 3 million pounds in road construction funds was gathered. The total amount was nearly twice the British loan, which intuitively demonstrated the patriotic sincerity and resistance of the people of Zhejiang a hundred years ago.
After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Tang Shouqian focused on the overall situation, mediating between all parties, promoting the peaceful recovery of Hangzhou, and safeguarding the tranquility of all parties. After his success, he was indifferent to power and fame. He donated all the 200,000 silver dollars he had received as compensation for years of supervising the railway without taking salary, and used it to build the Zhejiang Library, leaving nothing as personal property.
It is understood that AIGC participated in the audiovisual content accounting for 70% of the entire film. The premise for this is that the creative team has conducted a lot of textual research and polished it. They visited archives, libraries, museums in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shengzhou and other places to collect and organize a total of more than 4,600 original files, including those included in the "China Archives and Documents Heritage List" "" precious archives, from which more than 300 cultural relics with visual presentation value were selected and converted into camera images. On the basis of respecting the original appearance of history, a large number of scarce historical scenes from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were digitally restored to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient image materials of similar themes.
The documentary will also be linked to the Tang Shouqian Former Residence Memorial Hall to launch a series of supporting study activities, transforming high-quality video content into offline historical education resources.
