The recent hit "Mountains and Seas" has been evaluated by both the audience and public opinion. Although it has ended, it has still become a topic of street talk. Behind the widespread attention of a TV drama set in Fujian and Ningxia provinces and regions to achieve poverty alleviation and prosperity, it also brings us deep thinking about film and television dramas.
What kind of drama can be rooted in the hearts of the people? This is a clichéd topic, but it is also a real and unavoidable topic of reality.
Nowadays, whether it is a historical drama, a reality drama, or a soap opera, it is always difficult to feel "ground gas". The amount of investment is higher than the other, but it is getting farther and farther away from the "heart" of the people. Invisibly become a reed on the wall, neither ideological nor artistic, at best it can only be a "cutscene" with a boot itch, and even become a joke from the audience. The success of "Mountains and Seas" is not only that the plot, characters, and events in the play have been slagged off, and the northwest dialect in the character language has helped the popularity of the play soar and has been well received. It is no exaggeration to say that every character in the play can find a corresponding shadow in real life. It is precisely because of this "soil" that it conquers the audience and becomes the "center" that attracts the attention of the audience.
At the same time, the author believes that it is precisely this kind of "soil" that truly and objectively reflects the real gap between the economic and social development of the east and the west. Now it has become customary for urban and rural residents in central and eastern China to travel by high-speed rail, and Ningxia only really opened high-speed rail more than a month ago. At the beginning of the play, several children who have never seen a train are eager to see a train, which is similar to the mood of Ningxia people looking forward to high-speed rail. It is precisely this mentality that makes many viewers have a preliminary concrete understanding of poverty alleviation and the gap between the east and the west.
Of course, there are also commentators who question that the show over-exaggerates and exaggerates the poverty level in the West. As a journalist who has lived in Ningxia for a long time and has long followed and reported on Xihaigu's poverty alleviation and prosperity, it can be said responsibly that the poverty in the play is a true portrayal of the current situation of poverty in Xihaigu decades ago. At that time, the poverty situation in many villages was even worse than described in the play.
In addition to the "selling point" of poverty, with the sound of the clarion call for east-west cooperation in poverty alleviation, the participation of Fujian cadres and entrepreneurs in Ningxia poverty alleviation has opened a new page in the history of poverty alleviation in Ningxia. The ideas, funds and projects they brought have benefited the people in Ningxia who have achieved the goal of poverty alleviation until now. In the southern mountains of Ningxia, many people have learned to drink tea, and most of the tea they drink is Fujian tea, which is enough to illustrate the integration of Fujian's local culture and Ningxia culture. The new development concept of the eastern coastal area brought by the Fujian people was injected into Ningxia, becoming another popular "hot spot" of the play, allowing the audience to see the vivid stories in the conflict of ideas between the east and the west.
The author believes that another "pusher" for the success of the play lies in the "northwest" lineup of actors. Acting in the life that you are familiar with is more brilliant, and in this regard, this drama interprets the love of mountains and seas vividly.
Only by rooting in the land can the seeds break through the soil and sprout, and can they usher in a golden harvest. This is the biggest success and surprise that "Mountains and Seas" brings us. (Yangtze River Commentator Guo Changjiang)
