CCTV Channel 1's grand costume TV series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" (35 episodes in total)
The long-awaited grand costume TV series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" aired on CCTV Channel 1 on the evening of January 1st. This series gathered many stars including Huang Haibing, Charlie Yeung, Ruby Lin, Sammo Hung, and Luo Jialiang. As the male lead, Huang Haibing played three roles in the drama. Both the director and actors of "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" are from Hong Kong, with Huang Haibing being the only mainland actor who also took on the role of the male lead, shouldering a heavy burden. His co-stars were all beauties, including Charlie Yeung, Ruby Lin, and American actress Kerry Berry Brogan. Surrounded by these beauties, anyone would be at a loss, but Haibing remained unmoved, always talking about his parents and wife.
The TV series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" tells a story that takes place in the early years of Tianqi during the Ming Dynasty, revolving around the wit and courage of sea merchants, sea officials, and imperial envoys as they punish evil and promote good. In the drama, Huang Haibing plays three roles: the imperial envoy Xiao Tianyuan, the beggar Mao Wu, and also has to pretend to be the young merchant Jiang Tianlong to navigate among various forces at sea. This was quite a challenge for him.
In the first half of the 17th century, armed merchant fleets from various European countries came to the East to expand their influence. At this time, the Ming Dynasty still enforced a strict maritime ban, prohibiting any ship from going out to sea. Commoner Xiao Tianyuan opposed the maritime ban and was persecuted by the evil forces in the court. However, when European fleets invaded the coastal areas of Fujian, he turned misfortune into fortune and was granted full authority to handle coastal affairs. He insisted on lifting the maritime ban and promised to pay three million taels of silver in taxes to the court each year, eventually obtaining the right to engage in overseas trade. Relying on sea merchants, uniting the sea gangs, combating pirates, and reorganizing the maritime forces, he quickly opened up markets in Southeast Asia and Japan. During this period, the corrupt eunuch Gao Song and the cunning and treacherous official Xiong Yipeng used every scheme to sabotage the plan for foreign trade, but all their plots were thwarted by him. In the end, justice prevailed, punishing the bad people, maintaining national sovereignty, and ushering in the golden age of the first international trade participated by Chinese merchants.
