Sir's main energy on the two days of the New Year is focused on the Spring Festival stalls.
However, if:
No/don't dare/can't go to the cinema, what else can you do during the Spring Festival?
Rest assured, Sir has not forgotten you.
When the big screen 8 blockbusters are hot, the "9th part" that is most easily overlooked in the Spring Festival file quietly starts broadcasting.
You don't have to go to the theater, you don't have to pick a show, you can even watch it at home on the Internet.
It is different from the lively and short-lived reunion atmosphere of the Spring Festival stalls.
It tries to offer another, longer-lasting "family fun."
Whether you are at home or abroad, in the city or in the village, in an epidemic-related area or a non-epidemic-related area...
We are all in the same place:
"The World"
It just started two days ago.
The popularity of the whole network is second, and the TV series classification directly rushes to the first.
So fierce?
On the lineup, it is definitely an all-star who does not lose to the theater:
Starring, Lei Jiayin, Song Jia, Xin Baiqing, Yin Tao...
As the opening drama of CCTV, the poster exposes ambition even more:
Fifty years of chinese life history.
Don't be intimidated.
Sir, after watching 8 episodes, translated it as "Human Words" is:
It is too suitable for the Spring Festival family to chase around the TV!
01
Although it is said to be "family fun", the opening of "The World of Man" is not gentle at all.
Season: Cold winter.
Location: Execution Ground.
In the winter of 1972, in the northeast city of Jichun, heavy snow filled the sky.
Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin), who works in the timber factory, is thrown by his co-workers and goes to the execution ground to see the murderer shot.
It's different from other people watching the hilarity.
Among the prisoners present was his friend, Tu Zhiqiang (Shen Xiaohai).
The killing was justified, but when he saw his friend Zhou Bingkun being executed, he was frightened on the spot.
Silly.
From this day on, no matter whether he commutes to work or commute, he will always see Zhiqiang, appearing at the construction site, canteen, dormitory, and greeting himself...
stop.
CCTV drama, how did it become close to science?
Needless to say, this is where "The World of Man" is grounded:
From the perspective of a silly boy, it shows the style of an entire era.
What's the look?
Come, young people come and open their eyes.
Family of that era.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Zhou Bingkun's family was the one with the best ingredients and the most rooted miao red.
worker.
His father (Ding Yongdai), the first generation of workers in the republic, under the order of the state, went to Chongqing without complaint to support the construction of the third line.
The eldest brother, Zhou Bingyi, an intellectual youth, responded to the call and took the initiative to build a corps as a soldier.
Sister Zhou Rong, a standard school bully, went up to the mountains and went to the countryside to join the team in the distant guizhou countryside.
Only Zhou Bingkun.
His brain was not very bright, and he was worried about learning badly outside, so he went to the city's timber factory with his neighbors and hair children to work as a worker before finishing junior high school.
Is he really "stupid"?
No, it's really Old Versailles.
Growing up, there were older brothers and sisters in the family, and when they grew up, they had neighbors who were small and supportive, and they stayed by their mother's side and were taken care of in turbulent times.
At that time, it was absolutely rare "silly people stupid fortune".
Also, the daily life of that era, the love of that era.
As an old knot in the family, "silly boy" Zhou Bingkun has always been smooth sailing.
Except for two things:
One, as mentioned earlier, is the ghost of his friend Tu Zhiqiang, and the other is a woman.
Qiao Chunyan (played by Huang Xiaolei) in front of him.
A female pedicure master in the state-run public bath, Zhou Bingkun, was small, and she fell in love with him.
To "place object".
What to do?
Forget the twists and turns of the mary sue in modern idol dramas, the older generation dares to love and dare to hate.
Wait for people, block people, confess in person, consider people, share worries for people, and don't care about the red eyes of other hair girls who grew up together.
Unfortunately, Zhou Bingkun is a mallet.
The "ghost" incident caused him to lose his job.
In the 70s, there was no unit identity, but it was a big deal.
Happy ending?
No, soon he because of the relationship of "ghost", he met the beautiful widow Zheng Juan (Yin Tao) and fell in love.
With the help of his sister's suitor Cai Xiaoguang (Wang Yang), he quickly found a new job in the soy sauce factory...
OK, happy life continues.
Some people may say that such a "stupid boy" of "Versailles" can be worthy of such a big proposition as "The World of Man".
But this is precisely the highlight of the show:
Compared with other "big dramas", the protagonist overturns the river and the sea in the big era, becomes an official and buys a house, and even goes out of the picture and flows into the story of the hundred generations.
In "The World of Man", for the next fifty years, Zhou Bingkun has always been an ordinary citizen in this small town, surrounding him, or bothering him.
Always family, friends, and chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea.
He is only the most inconspicuous beginning of this human epic.
However, it is also the most prominent title of "The World of Man" - "The People".
02
CCTV's new year drama is generally not small.
This time especially so.
The author, Liang Xiaosheng, is the same age as the Republic, a university teacher, a well-known writer, a film and television screenwriter, and a representative figure of "Zhiqing Literature".
This "Human World" is the work that helped him win the 2019 Mao Dun Literature Award.
Look at the industry evaluation, it is frighteningly high:
A new height in the creation of realistic novels in the new era.
The experience of a generation of the times is also a summary of the people in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.
Therefore, since it was rumored that it will be adapted for film and television, "The World of Man" has attracted much attention.
The film and television lineup is also a top match.
Director Li Lu, director of the popular "In the Name of the People" and "Circuit Prosecution Group";
One of the screenwriters, Wang Haiyu, "Chinese-style Divorce", "New Marriage Era", etc. are all from her hands, and are known as "the first writer of Marriage in China".
Cass is even more stable.
In addition to the main actors, many Middle-aged and Old generation drama bones have appeared: Ding Yongdai, Sarina, Cheng Taishen, Song Chunli, Zhang Kaili, Feng Lei, Bai Zhidi, Ma Shaohua, Li Jianyi, Xu Wenguang...
Even the narration was matched by Chen Daoming.
Is such a battle just a "Happy Planet of Zhou Bingkun"?
Obviously, it was a small look.
In the first episode, the farewell scene, Sir's heart trembles as he watches it.
Separate stages are train stations.
When the policy was issued, the family went to the east and west, and the personality and relationship of the family members were fully revealed at this moment:
Manly strong and strong; the love between parents; the sister is weird, and Zhou Bingkun is still the wooden mallet...
There were no mobile phones and WeChat at that time.
Separately, it cannot be said that there is no news at all, at least it is also a life and death, and the future is uncertain.
What about after the separation?
All must re-adapt:
Father, why do you use someone else's leftover soap in the bathroom every time?
Big brother, why do you take the initiative to keep your distance from your girlfriend?
Sister, why did you go to a foreign country and almost break up with your family?
Only Zhou Bingkun, who was "left behind"
His "happiness" seems to have begun to contrast with the turmoil in his family.
But can he always be like this?
The sister's children need to be raised, Zheng Juan's children have other people in their fathers, their mother's illness, their own love, family, career, house... In the end, even because of accidents and negligence, he lost his job and went to prison.
In the trailer, the father nags Zhou Bingkun, and the words are cursed:
A mom who cares for the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis
Girl with her sister
Raising someone else's son
To be sure.
After the separation, the family's "winter" has just begun.
They're just a microcosm
How did the vastst number of ordinary Chinese survive for thousands of years when the material conditions were not abundant?
There is a detail in the play.
Zhou Bingkun rescued an old man who accidentally fell in the bathhouse and sent people to the hospital to find that the family was a local leader.
Cool drama begins, the protagonist steps forward?
No.
A meal, a token of gratitude, and the matter is over.
This is where the play "The World" focuses.
It's good-looking, on the surface, and is the social context of half a century of Chinese life getting better and better.
But inside, it is accompanied by the goodness of ordinary Chinese that has been adhered to for thousands of years.

In an interview, the author Liang Xiaosheng highlighted the reasons for his creation of "The World of Man":
After reading this novel, at least you can know what happened in the 70s, what happened in the 80s... How many things can you buy for a dollar, what does a dime mean, how did your parents come to life, even if your parents are intellectuals and cadres, what about the intellectuals and cadres of that year.
Zhou Bingkun is a low-level citizen, but his mind is active, and he has successively run a restaurant and a bookstore.
The eldest brother, Zhou Bingyi, was later admitted to Peking University and became an official.
Her sister, Zhou Rong, was later admitted to Peking University and became a scholar and intellectual.
Around them, there are old workers, old cadres, officials, intellectuals, literary and art workers, as well as small traders, self-employed people, and many low-income groups.
Liang Xiaosheng constructed a group portrait of the times through the novel "The World of Man".
The details in the play are also faithfully restored.
The secretary of the soy sauce factory invited Zhou Bingkun and his colleagues to dinner together.
The secretary's family is a rehabilitated family of old cadres, living in bungalows, with cars, nannies, and drivers, which makes a group of factory boys envious and grumble.
The restaurant where the old cadres eat is larger than the houses of ordinary people.
Good people are good people, and privilege is privilege.
On the other side, Zheng Juan's house, the door is dilapidated, the newspaper pastes the wall, the family disciples are four walls, and the girls can only stay at home after washing cotton clothes and pants, because there is no extra clothes.
This true presentation of the 70s makes this story particularly three-dimensional.
But as a play, there is always a main line that puts them together.
family.
Rich and poor, officials and small people.
Almost all the characters in "The World" are related to the word "home", which has a different connection.
The eldest brother is an official who is clean and upright, and he is dedicated to the people, so it is always difficult to take care of his family.
The eldest sister has always pursued the ideal life and love, seemingly independent personality, but has always been blessed by the family (adopted daughter).
But at the end of the story.
The former felt regret and was determined to make up for it, while the latter took the initiative to choose to return to the family.
This is both the attitude of the author and the attitude of the play "The World of Man":
Home is the most inseparable thought of ordinary Chinese.
Therefore, whether it is a drama or a novel, the main perspective will be placed on Zhou Bingkun, the "old knot"
His optimism, hard work, nostalgia, stubbornness... Especially the responsibility and responsibility for the family.
It has the shadow of the vastst Chinese.
Back to the play "The World".
Those who are familiar with CCTV know that the tradition of broadcasting this annual drama at the beginning of each year will always be rooted in reality and shoot various epic long stories.
From ten years ago, "Breaking into kanto", "Going West", "Family Portrait".
To the past two years, "Crossing the Yalu River", "Armageddon", "The Age of Awakening".
Compared with the current hot works, these big plays have no traffic, no stimulation, and no gimmicks and explosive points.
But it always gets a bunch of viewers.
Why?
As the author Liang Xiaosheng said in an interview:
"Our young people, spanning the 70 years since the founding of New China, know a little about the Republic of China in the past era, and then travel to the Tang Dynasty and song dynasty, and know very little about their own country. This is not something that history books can teach, nor is it something that can be seen by watching feature films. Balzac said that the novel is the secret history of the nation and the state. The secret history is not to say how mysterious it is, but to folk memory. Folk memory is passed down by word of mouth, and it is produced in the chat of generations. Words fade away, but the novel retains and presents this memory. "
Whether it's a novel or a play.
The meaning of epic poetry is not in the creation, but in retrospect.
Looking back on the glory years, looking back at the blood of youth.
Especially in the moment.
We need The World more and more.
After all, the world is big.
So big that we often unconsciously forget:
Where is home.
Where is the place to be.
