A few days ago, the Hubei Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau's key high-quality drama and the 20th Major Gift Drama "Dedicate Everything to the Party" held a discussion and launching ceremony in Beijing. Zheng Fei, a young playwright from Rizhao, served as the screenwriter, zhao Ruitai, a famous playwright, served as the script director, and Zeng Qingrui, a chinese TV drama theorist, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Communication University of China, served as the artistic director.
Hubei's red drama "Dedicating Everything to the Party", which was presented to the 20th National Congress of the Party, was adapted from the heroic and exemplary deeds of Comrade Wu Yunduo, and was highly valued and affirmed by Zhao Huayong, Zhong Chengxiang, You Xiaogang and other well-known experts and scholars in the domestic film and television circles, as well as famous screenwriters, directors and producers. Experts pointed out that the creation of heroic themes should breathe with the times and share the fate with the people, and spread the common value orientation of mankind through the pure heart of heroic characters.
Originally from Wuhan, Hubei Province, Wu Yunduo was the founder of the New Fourth Army's military industry, one of the pioneers of the new China's weapons industry, and the first generation of workers' writers in New China. His autobiography, "Giving Everything to the Party," has inspired generations of young people.
Zheng Fei, the screenwriter of "Dedicate Everything to the Party", is a native of Rizhao Taoluo, Shandong, graduated from the China Academy of Drama with a master's degree, a writer, screenwriter and producer, a member of the China Television Artists Association, a director of the China Dramatic Literature Society, a director of the Beijing Film Association, and a member of the Shandong Writers Association.

He has produced more than ten stage plays such as "Last Night's Double Embrace Road", "This Time Next Year", "Le Youyuan", "Returning the Soul Three Stacks", "Forward Forward", "Forever Banner", etc., of which "Returning the Soul three stacks" won the UNITED UNESCO International Drama Association Musical Theatre Award, the National Theatre Culture Award for Outstanding Repertoire, and participated in the Sino-German Cultural Year Exchange Performance and the National Centre for the Performing Arts Spring and Autumn Performance.
"The famous writer Romain Rolland said: 'I will never set up some heroes that cannot be expected.' I hate that cowardly idealism that takes its eyes off the sufferings of life and the fragility of the heart. There is only one kind of heroism in the world: to see the world as it is – and to love it. Screenwriter Zheng Fei believes that this is a big principle that guides the creation of the script of the play.
Zheng Fei said that as a screenwriter, he has found a good writing object, will listen to the advice of experts, do not stick to autobiography, show the legendary life of Wu Yunduo in a panoramic manner, write wu Yunduo's spirit well, and shape the image of Wu Yunduo, a tough guy in the "Paul style", so that more young audiences can accept and inherit the great party-building spirit embodied by Wu Yunduo.
At the seminar, Zhong Chengxiang, a librarian of the Central Research Museum of Literature and History and former chairman of the China Literary and Art Critics Association, affirmed the choice of the theme of "Dedicating Everything to the Party" and put forward several enlightenments for grasping the creation of fine film and television dramas: First, the works should spread the common value orientation of mankind, and should reflect that the protagonist came to this world as a person, and the greatest realization of personal value is to contribute his wisdom and talents to the advanced cause of mankind. Second, through the story of Wu Yunduo, it is necessary to reflect the history of the development of China's military industry in the difficult years until the founding of New China, embody the founding spirit of the Communist Party of China, and shoot a unique "Chinese-style Paul" story.
You Xiaogang, president of the China Television Drama Production Industry Association and a famous director, said that "Dedicate Everything to the Party" is a biography he has read since he was a child. "Wu Yunduo's story is engraved in the hearts of our generation. His life was bumpy, especially after several disabilities, his psychological relationship, beliefs, and personality underwent very strong changes, and it is recommended to seize this change to write about the changes between the relationships between the characters, to write about the choice of his destiny, to tell the story vividly, and to touch people's hearts with details. "You Xiaogang hopes to take Wu Yunduo's legend and make it with the quality of "The Age of Awakening" and artistically portray the original intention of communist party members in a new way of expression."
Zeng Qingrui, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Communication University of China, mentioned in his speech that when he was studying in the junior high school of Wuhan No. 1 Middle School during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the school carried out patriotic education at that time and invited heroic models to make reports. "The kind of adoration we had in those days may be difficult for young people to understand now." That era was an era of worshipping heroes and following heroes. Now to make a TV series that tells the story of Wu Yunduo, I think the creativity is very good, very good. ”
Ma Jihong, a famous screenwriter and producer, believes that the theme of "Dedicating Everything to the Party" is very worth doing, whether from a historical point of view, or from the current promotion of the main theme, as well as the promotion of the "great party building spirit", the theme of this drama is very good, and the characters and stories also reflect the heroic experience and highlight the spirit of the times.
Zhao Huayong, former director of CCTV and honorary chairman of the China Television Artists Art Association, concluded that the theme itself has a very high intention, "The heroes we publicized in the past were very few inventors who made guns and weapons. Zhao Huayong hopes that after the CREATION OF THE TV series, people over the age of 50 can recollect the history and add new things, and people under the age of 50 can also make up lessons, hoping that the creators must be determined to make up for the fine products.
Wuhan is a heroic city, the people of Wuhan are heroic people, and generation after generation of Wuhan people are interpreting the story of heroes in this hot land where the Yangtze and Han rivers meet. And Wu Yunduo is an outstanding representative of countless Wuhan heroes, and it is also a cultural business card of Wuhan.
Liao Feiwen, head of Wuhan Qingtong Film Industry, the producer of the drama, said: "Under the guidance of the key topic selection planning of the '14th Five-Year Plan' TV series in Hubei Province, we will concentrate on excavating the good stories of Wuhan, develop and incubate the red gene drama "Dedicate Everything to the Party", with Comrade Wu Yunduo, a famous military industry expert, as the core of the group portrait, and show the brilliant history of China's ordnance industry from scratch, from large to large, from large to strong since the War of Resistance Against Japan." ”
The relevant person in charge of the Hubei Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau said: Based on the key topic selection plan of Hubei's "14th Five-Year Plan" TV series, we will vigorously support Hubei film and television enterprises from various aspects such as theme checks and policy support, main creative teams, and financial support of TV drama projects, and strive to launch a number of well-produced high-quality dramas with strong Hubei characteristics during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
