CCTV-1 Grand Costume TV Series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" Full 35 Episodes
The much-anticipated grand costume TV series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" premiered on CCTV-1 last night. The show features numerous stars including Huang Haibing, Lee Caihua, Chen Derong, Sammo Hung, and Luo Jialiang. As the male lead, Huang Haibing plays three roles in this series. Both the director and most of the actors are from Hong Kong, with Huang Haibing being the only mainland actor to take on the role of the male lead, a heavy responsibility indeed. His co-stars include beauties like Lee Caihua, Chen Derong, and American actress Kerry Berry Brogan. Surrounded by these beauties, anyone might feel overwhelmed, but Haibing remains steadfast, always mentioning his parents and wife.
The TV series "Ambition in the Stormy Sea" tells a story set at the beginning of the Tianqi era during the Ming Dynasty, involving sea merchants, sea officials, and imperial envoys in their struggle against evil and promotion of good. In the show, Huang Haibing plays three roles: the imperial envoy Xiao Tianyuan, the beggar Mao Wu, and also has to masquerade as a young merchant, Jiang Tianlong, navigating between various maritime powers. This is quite a challenge for him.
In the early 17th century, armed merchant fleets from European countries came eastward to expand their influence. At that time, the Ming Dynasty still enforced a strict maritime ban, prohibiting any ships from going out to sea. Commoner Xiao Tianyuan opposed the maritime ban and was persecuted by the evil forces within the court. However, when European fleets disturbed the coastal areas of Fujian, he turned misfortune into fortune and was granted full authority to handle maritime affairs. He insisted on lifting the maritime ban and promised to pay three million taels of tax silver to the court every year, eventually obtaining the right to conduct overseas trade. He relied on sea merchants, united the sea gangs, cracked down on pirates, and reorganized the maritime forces. He quickly opened up markets in Nanyang (Southeast Asia) and Japan. During this period, the extremely corrupt eunuch Gao Song and the cunning and treacherous official Xiong Yipeng used all sorts of plots to sabotage the plan to open up trade routes, but they were thwarted one by one. Ultimately, justice prevailed, punishing the bad people, maintaining national sovereignty, and ushering in the golden age of the first international trade participated in by Chinese merchants.
