The content is true, and it is a portrait of the times
At the seminar, Wei Dangjun, director of the Network Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, took the lead in speaking, saying: "'On the Field of Hope' shows us the great energy of going deep into life and taking root in the people. The screenwriter's personal experience for many years and half a year's field style have enabled the work to present a more contemporary Baiguo Village with a real and delicate realism technique. ”
Huang Xiansong, general manager of Western Film Group, who participated in the production, also said, "'On the Field of Hope' closely follows the proposition of the times, the content is solid and grounded, and from the perspective of youth, it shows economic poverty alleviation and focuses on the revitalization of rural spiritual culture, which is the concept of artistic creation that we have always upheld for a long time. ”
Only when the series creation is "heart-in" first, can the audience "enter the heart". With real materials, since its launch, "On the Field of Hope" has aroused strong repercussions in Tongren City, and Hu Yan, co-producer and deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Bijiang District Committee of Tongren City, Guizhou Province, said, "The drama is well-sourced, and the lens is aimed at the background of poverty alleviation; the plot is true, so that every poverty alleviation cadre can find his own figure; the ideal is far away, which can inspire the vast number of young people to actively participate in the grand strategy of rural revitalization." ”
As one of the co-producers, Fang Fang, deputy general manager of Tencent's online video film and television content production department, said frankly, "We hope to use the most authentic voice to restore the process of contemporary rural development, use the vivid plot to stimulate the audience's inner resonance, trigger audience discussion through a conflict-filled plot, and walk out of the inherent impression of many users for rural dramas for a long time." ”
Screenwriter Rao Jun shared the real feedback received after the broadcast of a large number of episodes on the spot, he said, "90% of the story of this drama comes from real life, I am not the screenwriter of this drama, it is these cadres stationed in the front-line villages, and it is those ordinary people who are still working hard for a better life to help me create this story." ”
In this regard, director Wang Junye also participated in the discussion, he said, "Only when I saw the prototype characters of the team stationed in the village did I understand what is the hardship of abandoning my family and giving up my business, and I went to the rural primary school to understand how the teachers dedicate their youth." I deeply feel that we not only made a drama, but also let us experience a spiritual baptism, which really made me understand the essence of looking up at the sky and being more down-to-earth. ”
Producer Liu Yunqiang also shared the hardships behind the scenes in detail, and praised the grass-roots party members and cadres in the play and in real life, "They worked together to move forward in unison and contributed their light and heat to the cause of rural revitalization." ”
"On the Field of Hope" truly gives the audience a "fresh feeling" of the new rural landscape in a youthful narrative, thanks to the actors' meticulous and careful portrayal of the characters.
At the scene, the lead actor Cao Jun said, "Zhang Nan, a graduate student who came out of the mountains, returned to his hometown from the city, and he led a group of young people to build his hometown, and such a life choice also highlighted the social responsibility of contemporary youth; I hope that through this drama, more young people can be called on to actively feed their hometown and build their hometown, and use the enthusiasm and dream power of young people to help the countryside burst with new vitality." ”
An Yuexi, the actor who plays Bian Xiaoyue, also felt something, she said, "We have millions of young people stationed in villages across the country who are actively cultivating, and I think their souls are glowing, and I want this light to shine more and farther, and in the field of hope, they must look up at the stars and be down-to-earth." ”
Actor Zhao Liang said, "I am an old party member and an old actor, we are literary and artistic warriors, adhering to the things that the old comrades have inherited to us, and we must have a sense of social responsibility as an actor." ”
Actor Gao Yiqing also shared, "How can I get the truth recognized by the audience? That's through grounded details and accepted from the heart. ”
Dream far, for the times Matilda
"On the Field of Hope" adopts a realistic expression method and adopts the parallel structure of "fuzhi and zhi" to achieve the theme upgrade from focusing on "rich pockets" to "rich heads", and sharply explores the "three rural" problems in the education of rural schools, rural teachers and rural students.
At the meeting, as the representative of the prototype of the Baiguo Village team stationed in the village, Zhang Xiuying was deeply touched. She said, "This drama has ignited a small flame in the big cities for young people to participate in rural revitalization, and at the same time, it has also strengthened the determination of our mountain cadres to work in the villages. ”
In the view of Li Jingsheng, vice president of the China Broadcasting Federation, "On the Field of Hope" boldly breaks through the limitations and shackles of online dramas in terms of themes, and creates a touching story of Zhang Nan, a graduate student who graduated from a key university from the countryside, returning to his hometown and fighting poverty for the new countryside with a creative attitude and artistic disposition that cares about real life. This makes the network drama have an extraordinary fresh and realistic style in the expression of content themes.
Kang Wei, editor-in-chief of China Art News, commented from the perspective of film and television creation, saying that the play is "a drama with special characteristics", and he believes that "On the Field of Hope" has achieved "novel character image, strength in contradiction construction, depth in thinking, and appeal in artistic expression".
Gao Xiaoli, director of the art department of "Literature and Art Daily", said, "The drama focuses on the reform of the rural education system in rural areas, which has a strong reality", and believes that the creative intention of "really listening, really seeing and really feeling" will also provide more new horizons for the creation of the main theme in the future.
Deng Kai, executive director of the literature and art department of Guangming Daily, also affirmed the fullness of character shaping and story reduction, he believes, "The series portrays a group of very inspirational party members who revitalize the countryside." Including the original ecological performance of Guizhou, the degree of reduction of words, accents, food, and scenery is very good. ”
Zhong Chengxiang, a famous literary and art critic, commented on the play: "It is a portrait of the times, a biography of the times, and a work of realism for the Mingde of the times, a new era of network literary and artistic works with Chinese characteristics, and a work with symbolic significance." ”
At the end of the seminar, Yi Kai, secretary general of the China Television Arts Committee, made a concluding statement: "Push out good works that reflect the style of the times, and conscientiously make works that can stand, spread and stay, which is the clean and upright atmosphere of the literary and art circles." ”
