In 1999, a main theme movie with a word of mouth explosion was born - "Turning out of the World".
Sweeping the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, Douban scored 9.3.
So good that the official media have urged CCTV6 to broadcast it.
Why?
Because the movie pokes at the burning point of the soul of each Chinese.
After 22 years, such "thrilling" is back.
TV series "Meritorious Service", I believe you have been brushed by it in the circle of friends.
No one expected that at the end of 2021, a main melody drama would be so "soul-destroying"!
What's so good about it?
The "burning" of the bone erosion.
The story, from 8 recipients of the Order of the Republic (the highest honor of the People's Republic of China):
"Fighting Hero" - Li Yannian (played by Wang Lei).
"Father of the Hydrogen Bomb" - Yu Min (played by Lei Jiayin).
"National Labor Model" - Shen Jilan (played by Jiang Xin).
"Chief Aerospace Engineer" - Sun Jiadong (played by Tong Dawei).
"Model of the Times" - Zhang Fuqing (played by Guo Tao).
"The Father of Hybrid Rice" - Yuan Longping (played by Huang Zhizhong).
"The Father of Nuclear Submarines" - Huang Xuhua (played by Huang Xiaoming).
"Nobel laureate" - Tu Youyou (played by Zhou Xun).
One person six episodes, behind each person is a legend, a history of the republic.
For example, the protagonist Li Yannian, who appeared first, was an old hero on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
"Meritorious Service" Wang Lei played Li Yannian
He has participated in more than 20 large and small battles in his life, and has repeatedly accomplished miraculous feats.
In the words of netizens, Li Yannian's story made Chinese TV dramas shoot the level of "Company of Brothers" for the first time.
But the "burning" of the battlefield is only one of them.
The more powerful thing about "Meritorious Service" is that it can also ignite you in those battlefields where you can't see the smoke of war.
For example, the second unit of "Unsung Hero Yu Min".
It tells how China's first hydrogen bomb was born.
At the same time, It is also the first time that Yu Min's film and television story has appeared on the screen.
"Meritorious Service" Yu Min
Yu Min, China's "father of the hydrogen bomb".
Why call him Unsung Hero.
Because the knowledge in this man's hands is one of the most confidential in the world.
Yu Min almost single-handedly made China's related technologies stand out from the world.
So he had to stay anonymous.
This is also why it was not until the 1990s, after Mr. Yu Min gradually faded from the front line of scientific research due to his advanced age.
The Chinese began to hear about his heroic deeds.
In the words of the People's Network: "Shougong" has been invisible for thirty years.
Regarding "confidentiality", there is such a bridge section in the play:
Yu Min (Lei Jiayin), who has just received the task, resolutely gives up the opportunity to study abroad.
Misunderstood by his wife Sun Yuqin (Ni Ni) is not a blow to work.
Yu Min kept it a secret, but also reassured his wife.
He lied that he had gone to the military factory to build a bomb.
The wife asked if it was a grenade.
He hurriedly said: Yes!
This scene is both joyful and particularly poignant.
"Grenades" and "hydrogen bombs", Hongmao Taishan, the world is different.
But there is also a world of difference between countries that have it and those that don't.
So it's a misunderstanding, or bitterness.
Behind the construction of the hydrogen bomb is the most simple feeling for the nation and the country.
Driven to anonymity for the rest of his life, he was determined to take the secret to the grave.
"This is the underpinnings of peace... We don't bully others, and we can't let others bully us."
Don't you think it's a little tragic?
But the next story is even more tragic.
How to carry out the hydrogen bomb, at that time Chinese did not even have basic theoretical research.
In the original words of the play: a hydrogen bomb involves more than a dozen disciplines.
The theoretical material for light research is the Tianzi project.
The point is that there is no foreign aid at all, and it is all self-reliance.
The 1999 film "Born out of the Sky", although it is about the development of the atomic bomb, has a restoration of the historical background of that era:
One of the scenes is about the origin of the atomic bomb project code name "596".
Because in June 1959, the Soviet Union withdrew all the experts in nuclear engineering aid to China.
In order to remember the day when the atomic bomb was developed on its own, the ancestors decided to name the plan "596".
Movie "Born out of nowhere"
But at that time, we were poor and white, and it was easy to talk about it.
Before leaving, the Soviets told the Chinese scientists: It will take two years for you to calculate these data with a computer.
He was so wrong.
Because these Chinese scientists in front of you don't have computers, not even calculators.
What to do?
Use the abacus left by the ancestors.
Countless scientists ate pickles and used abacus to come up with the most cutting-edge technology of mankind at that time.
The same section is also found in the Meritorious Service.
Eat the nest head plan plate, the huge blackboard is densely packed with formulas.
"Meritorious Service"
Because Yu Min did not eat on time for a long time, he often had duodenal ulcer attacks and was unable to speak in pain.
There are also researchers who have been turning black and white upside down for a long time, and the biological clock is chaotic and cannot sleep at all.
In difficult times, a group of physicists ran barefoot into the river to catch fish in order to replenish protein to the brain.
Later, the country finally had the only transistor computer, but all scientific research units had to use it.
In order to use two more hours a week, Yu Mintian looked for a leader to grind hard bubbles every day.
It's too hard.
The country is difficult from top to bottom.
But just like the volunteers who ate fried noodles defeated the American troops who couldned chocolate.
These Chinese scientists who nibbled at the nest finally completed a miracle unique in the history of human science under such conditions.
Can such a story burn?
Exploded!
Behind the burning, I have to mention Yu Min's actor Lei Jiayin.
Guo Jingfei once commented on Lei Jiayin:
"There is an artist living in this man's heart, and he wants to be an artist when he acts."
It is Lei Jiayin's natural, calm performance.
It gives people a sense of déjà vu of a small gesture and a big person, and closely intertwines the grand historical background with the fate of the characters.
There is a scene:
The director told Yu Min that if he accepted the task, he had to give up going abroad, give up his thesis, and hide his name, he accepted it calmly.
The only mention is that it will be decades away from the family.
Lei Jiayin's eyelids blinked, and her emotions fluctuated.
Although extremely subtle, the mental activity of the characters at that moment is instantly received by the audience.
A delicate sense of realism is performed.
Lei Jiayin's wonderful performance in "Meritorious Service", the same kind of role can be compared with it, I am afraid that only Lu Guangda, played by Li Youbin in "Born in the Sky".
"Born out of the sky" Li Youbin played Lu Guangda
Both are delicate actors, playing two equally anonymous roles.
Lei Jiayin once won the first film best actor award in her life at the Changchun Film Festival.
Fortunately, at the 2000 Changchun Film Festival, the role of Lu Guangda in "Born in the Sky" also won the first film best actor in his life for Li Youbin.
To some extent, playing Yu Min in "Meritorious Service", Lei Jiayin is like having a cross-time dialogue with Li Youbin.
By Lei Jiayin can peek at the whole leopard.
The lineup of "Meritorious Service" is the top match of the national drama.
Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "The Biography of Zhen Huan", plus Kang Honglei, the director of "Soldier Assault".
Together with six other famous directors, more than 30 famous actors and stars in the acting industry were gathered (even the supporting roles are the emperor of the film).
"Meritorious Service" is particularly courageous
Word of mouth, too, does not disappoint the mission.
As of the first working day after the 2021 National Day holiday, "Meritorious Service" has scored 15 ratings in four satellite TVs across the country.
The Douban score is as high as 9.1.
Even on Zhihu, which has always been known for its harsh ratings, the recommendation rate is 91%.
To know that the previous main melody drama ceiling level of "Bright Sword", only 83%.
"Meritorious Service" allows us to see a spirit: the heart of a pure child, but the sun and the moon.
I saw a kind of affection for the motherland: only with deep affection can we return to the world.
8 stories, like the baton of history, what they defend and pursue is exactly what we have now.
This may be the root cause of its ability to erode the bones and burn every Chinese.
Can't help but remind people of a scene in the movie "Born Out of the Sky":
A group of PLA soldiers marched to Lop Nur and the company commander asked the soldiers to pass down the order:
"You are not allowed to ask what to do, and you are not allowed to ask where to go."
One by one, the warriors passed down the passwords, each with a different accent.
They gathered in this Gobi from the north and the south.
Just for a common ideal.
The sound is still in the ears, the merit is outstanding!
