There is a feeling and a temperature, showing the "model room of rural construction"
The TV series "Blossoming Mountain Township" combines realism and romanticism to create a large number of vivid and independent character images, and always conveys the profound grasp and practice of the important concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", vividly showing the proposition of the era of "rural revitalization" and the growth process of young communists who fought for it.
According to reports, from producers, directors to actors, the main creative team adheres to the original intention of "taking the people as the center and dedicating the people with fine products", and everyone is striving to be close to the story and create a rural revitalization theme film and television products. Director Ghosh asked at the beginning of the shooting: "How to distinguish it from similar subjects? "How do you do it without empty talk and words?" "How to truly restore the rural revitalization case and restore the work of the first secretary?" and many other questions. To this end, the main creative team spent two months on the field visit, taking "lower life" as an important way of work, going deep into rural life, fully communicating with local cadres and villagers, experiencing the difficulties of rural cadres' work, drawing creative inspiration from real life, designing roles and contradictions and conflicts, recording true feelings, and praising rural revitalization stories. Wang Lei, Li Xiaomeng and other leading actors also came to the filming location some time in advance to enhance their understanding of the role through on-site experience, discussion, chat and other forms.
"If it weren't for the field visits, combined with historical photographs, it would be hard for me to imagine what it would be like today's neat and clean idyllic villages, which have only happened in two or three years," Ghosh said. In this regard, Sui Zhichao is also deeply touched, in the past two months of experience life, "almost every day is moved, deeply feel the boiling life is far more exciting than the plot of the closed door!"
Wang Lei, Li Xiaomeng and other leading actors also came to the filming location some time in advance to enhance their understanding of the role through field experience, discussion, chat and other ways. As an actor in Beijing Renyi, Wang Lei has rich experience in stage and film and television performances. Referring to this shooting, Wang Lei said that this is a study and growth, and he has always had a sense of responsibility and mission to pay tribute to the first secretaries who are fighting on the road of rural revitalization with literary and artistic works. During the filming, Wang Lei and Li Xiaomeng also officially announced that they had become the 7th Beijing Ecological Environment Public Welfare Ambassadors, calling on everyone to protect the ecological environment inside and outside the play.
In order to restore the scene and story with real details, the whole crew has made great efforts. During the filming, the crew insisted on eating and living in the countryside, shuttling through the vast mountains, not only driving for three or four hours to transfer the scene, but also some filming sites would need to be manually transported because vehicles could not enter, and they would "all miss" due to poor signals. In addition, in terms of art design, the crew also specially set up a team to use scenery films, CG technology, etc., to transform and build the scene of the new village today; in the shooting, through a variety of different lenses and camera combinations, to build a spatial scene and character relationship, and strive to present rich and real images; in terms of actor makeup, "restore" the peasant skin color, after shooting, the actors are even tanned a lot.
Rural theme TV series record the various changes in the process of Rural Revitalization in China, and in the future development of China's rural areas, it is more necessary to present the vivid images of rural theme TV series. As director Gao Xixi once mentioned: "I hope to strive to build a 'model room for rural construction', so that the public, especially people living in the vast rural land, can see, so that they can have a kind of care with the current life through images, see the prospects for rural revitalization, stimulate their self-confidence in local civilization, and actively participate in the development of rural areas; I hope that the images of future TV dramas can convey a voice while recording and showing this era. Arouse the public's attention to rural development, throw bricks and jade in the hope of changes in the future. ”
