At the beginning of 2021, Li Lu, the director and producer of "In the Name of the People", was filming his "herringbone trilogy" of "Human World", when suddenly overseas film and television director Disney came to the door and told Li Lu that he wanted to buy the overseas distribution rights of "Human World". A TV series has only been filmed for a month, so why does Disney believe it will be on fire?
First of all, the reason for the director, director Li Lu is known in the circle for being down-to-earth, the media commented that he is: "Do not want to be kidnapped by capital and want to insist on self, in today's pursuit of fast and efficient, exquisite self-interest in the era, such ideas and practices are almost called very few." ”
Li Lu has previously filmed award-winning TV drama works such as "Little Radish Head" and "Love of Hawthorn Tree", but what really broke the circle was after he filmed "The Name of the People", this phenomenon-level TV series broke through 8% with the highest rating in 2017, breaking the highest record of provincial satellite TV ratings in the past decade, and was selected as one of the top ten events in China in 2017.
Subsequently, Li Lu planned to shoot the "Herringbone Trilogy", and the second part of "People's Justice" (later renamed "Circuit Procuratorial Group") was also a great success, and the third part was "The World of Man", which was based on the winning works of Liang Xiaosheng Mao Dun Literature Award.
The original book "Human World" depicts the magnificent experience of generations of zhou families in northeast China from the 1970s to the 21st century 1010s after the reform and opening up. Father Zhou is an older generation of construction workers, the eldest son responds to the call of the state, goes to the mountains and the countryside to become young; the eldest daughter goes to the countryside of Guizhou to join the team in pursuit of the love of the "poet"; the younger son stays in the city and becomes a member of the workers' group... The novel portrays the ups and downs of the lives of more than a dozen civilian children, showing the magnificent changes in Chinese society.
Such a huge work and the sadness and joy of the characters in it deeply touched the director Li Lu: the most beautiful and rugged things in northeast China are in "The World of Man"!
So Li Lu invited Wang Haiyu, who has the title of "China's First Writer of Marriage", and spent nearly 3 years to screenwriting and polishing "The World".
In 2021, just a month after the start of "The World of Man", Disney came to it and bought the overseas distribution rights of "The World of Man". Director Li Lu attaches great importance to this, and often reminds everyone on the set: We must pay attention to the fact that our drama should be broadcast globally, and every line and every picture must have an international perspective. We must let foreign audiences see that our country and people have created a "new world" with 50 years of struggle.
After more than five months of meticulous filming, "The World" officially began broadcasting on January 28 this year. When just a dozen episodes were played, many viewers were already addicted, directly five-star praise brush screen, and some people evaluated the drama in advance at the beginning of the year: The best TV series in 2022!
Why is "The World" so popular?
In addition to the 50-year history of New China in the original work, more directors convey to the audience a kind of strength and temperature that cares for reality through their works.
