"Winter Olympic film and television" is coming, and short track speed skating has become a hit
Hu Jun, Sha Yi, Tu Songyan, Ma Li, Mei Ting, Tong Yao, Zhang Guoqiang and other powerful factions sat in the seat, and CCTV's opening year drama "Beyond" triggered "collective attention" from netizens as soon as it was broadcast. The real reproduction of competitive sports in the play resonated with everyone.
"Beyond" is aimed at the popular ice sport - short track speed skating. The background of the play is the successful bid of Beijing to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in 2015, telling the story of the roller skating girl Chen Mian who passed the hurdles all the way and finally entered the national team to become the main player, went to the Winter Olympics and won glory for the country.
However, the plot does not only stay on Chen Mian, but chooses the angle to cut in, through the struggle of three generations of short track speed skaters, showing the difficult training from the first generation crossing the river by feeling the stones, the hard training of the second generation, and then to the third generation because of love and righteousness.
In many Winter Olympic-themed film and television dramas, short track speed skating can be described as an absolute protagonist. TV series "Winter Olympic Family", "The Name of Ice and Snow", the movie "My Heart Is Flying", "Icebreaker Teenager", "Extreme Whirlwind" and so on are all based on its themes.
Among them, "Winter Olympic Family" starring Liu Peiqi was created by the original production team of "Family with Children", which is a sitcom with the theme of the Winter Olympics. "The Name of Ice and Snow" is divided into two parts, starring Chen Ruoxuan, Peng Xiaoran, Ou Hao, Liang Jie, etc., with the theme of "Forty Years of China and the Winter Olympics", telling the ice and snow love of three generations of a family.

In terms of movies, "My Heart Is Flying", produced by Xu Zheng and starring Xia Yu, has attracted much attention. The film is based on China's first Winter Olympic champion, Yang Yang, and director Wang Fangfang has directed many sports-themed film works such as "One Man's Olympics" and "Xu Haifeng's Gun".
Directed by Ye Weimin, starring Han Geng and Yin Fang, and starring Wu Jing, Li Chen and Jiang Wu, the film "Zero Degree Limit" takes skiing as the theme and tells the story of skiers who rose up after their careers fell into the bottom. In addition, there are animation "Our Winter Olympics", the movie "My Olympics and Me", "Club 20" with ice hockey as the theme, "Glory on Ice" and so on.
The Winter Olympics variety shows are piled up, and the stars and athletes have a lot of fun
Compared with film and television dramas, the number of variety shows with the theme of the Winter Olympics has also ushered in a wave of surge. Recently, a number of video platforms and satellite TVs have launched programs related to ice and snow sports, such as "Super Fun Ski Conference", "Ice and Snow Burning", "Friends in the Snow", "Snow Chasing South Group", "Hot Snow Wave", "Champion to Champion", "Winter Dream About 2", "Ski with the Champion" and so on.

Judging from the above program content, most of them focus on highlighting fun, participation and popular science, combining Winter Olympic sports with games and entertainment, and promoting ice and snow sports through the personal demonstrations of star guests and athletes.
For example, "Super Fun Ski Conference" invited Huang Minghao, Lin Yi, Wang Yanlin, Yu Shuxin and Zhang Jike as the "super skating family" to compete with other stars and athletes. In "Ice and Snow Burning", Li Chen, Wu Qilong, Wu Zun, Jiang Chao and Yu Yang served as "ice and snow managers", and the lead members of the program were composed of ice and snow sports athletes, and let the "Winter Olympics Xiaobai" watch figure skating, curling and other sports to popularize the knowledge of ice and snow sports.
For another example, in "Friends in the Snow", Zhang Chaoyang and Ren Zhong, Cheng Xiao, Sun Rui, Yang Jiulang, Yao Chen, and Zhao Rang assembled in Changbai Mountain and carried out a three-day live adventure. "Snow Chasing The South Group" cuts from the difference between the north and the south, allowing southern friends to truly experience a handful of ice and snow culture.
There are also several programs that emphasize competitive and professional communication. For example, "Champion to Champion" allows several champions of different events to exchange tracks, and competes with the "Champion Guard Team" composed of Zhao Wenzhuo, Meng Hetang, Yu Hazy and Zhou Lula. In "Winter Dream 2", Zhang Shaogang served as the "Winter Dream Host", Wang Meng was the "Winter Dream Ice and Snow Ambassador", and Cai Xukun, Zhong Hanliang, Zhang Jike, Zhang Yuqi, Liu Yuxin and so on joined as guests.
"Skiing with the Champion" allows Winter Olympic champion Zhang Hong as the "Ice and Snow Support Team Leader" to lead Li Wenwen, Su Bingtian, Fan Zhiyi, He Chong, Han Qiaosheng, He Wenna, etc. to learn to ski, attracting the attention of many sports fans.
In addition, CCTV has also launched a number of Winter Olympics-themed programs. For example, "Take You to see the Winter Olympics" was led by Zhang Hong and other guests to visit the Beijing Winter Olympic venues; "Olympics in art" showed the Olympic culture and spirit from an artistic perspective; "Winter Olympic Landscape" and "About Winter" were documentaries, and "Ice Hockey Whirlwind" and "Ice and Snow Dream Group" positioned the audience group among teenagers.
Emerging in an endless stream, how can the literary and artistic works on the theme of the Winter Olympics have new ideas?
The addition of a large number of films, television and variety shows has helped to promote ice and snow sports.
From the perspective of communication channels, Winter Olympics-themed films, televisions, and variety shows provide the audience with a different perspective, so that everyone can understand ice and snow sports in a more interesting and fresh way, and then further perceive the story behind the Winter Olympics. However, with so many files of content piled up online, how to make new ideas has put forward a big problem for the producers.
The reporter observed that some of the winter Olympic programs that have been broadcast are mostly carried out in the form of outdoor reality shows + ice and snow sports, and most of the audience messages still affirm the intention of the program, believing that it has done a better job of science popularization of ice and snow sports. Some netizens also raised questions about the program model, post-production, etc., and felt that some of them were "works that should be used in the scene" and "production is slightly boring".
In fact, this is also a problem that many outdoor reality shows have existed in recent years.
In today's era of rapid network dissemination, reality SHOWs are emerging in an endless stream, and they are loved by everyone with their own entertainment and authenticity, and it is difficult for outdoor competitive programs to seize a place in them. In recent years, although some online broadcasting platforms have some "tilt" in this regard, it can be seen through online evaluation that viewers are actually no longer satisfied with only watching "big scenes", or celebrities playing games in the program regardless of the image, but prefer to see creative and interesting content.
Looking at the film and television works on the other side, it is more or less the same, fighting the theme and fighting the lineup, it is better to fight the story! In this regard, it has not changed since the early years. (End)
