Peninsula all-media reporter Wang Yue
The suspense drama "Undocumented Crime", which was once popular throughout the Network, made director Lu Walk into the public eye. Today, he devotes his creative energy to the realistic theme of "Our New Era" "Because There Is a Home". At present, the tribute drama is piled up, and Lü Xing said in an interview with the peninsula all-media reporter that he hopes to find a way out of his own, "This is a TV series created on the basis of the real deeds of contemporary young Communist Party members, so it determines its three characteristics: the goal of the gift, the characteristics of the times, and the characteristics of young people." In the creation, casting and shooting, Lu Xing has broken the pattern of facial characterization and routine, hoping to give the audience a new feeling.

New Perspectives:
Creating a "life of longing" in the countryside
At present, the grass-roots party member drama "Our New Era" produced by Great Aim Group is being broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, Oriental Satellite TV and Shenzhen Satellite TV, and "Because There Is a Home" is the fifth unit of the drama, focusing on college student village officials to develop the rural economy with new thinking, build beautiful villages, and lead villagers to jointly create "yearning life". Grounded stories, vivid characters are full of humor and warmth, all of which are "because there is a home", which is impressive and applauded.
New era, new atmosphere. Director Lü Xing combined the characteristics of the times, and did not lock the story as poverty alleviation work in poor areas, but chose rich areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Shanghai "package mail areas". Director Lu Xing said, "The characteristics and difficulties of rural work in contemporary China are not actually getting rid of poverty and getting rich, but how to retain young labor in rural areas. According to local conditions, develop local characteristics of the economy, and achieve rural revitalization. The character of Huang Siqi (Tan Songyun) portrayed in the story also changes the traditional good secretarial character who led everyone out of poverty and became rich in the past, and what kind of story will be inspired when she is in a rich rural area where the people can eat and wear well, and face a group of villagers who have no worries about food and clothing and have lost the impetus to develop the economy?
How to lead everyone to develop the collective economy, this is actually a greater feeling and goal, no longer limited to everyone to fill their stomachs, for the university student village official Huang Siqi, is a bigger test. She hopes to let young people stay in their hometown, even if they don't go out, they can have the opportunity to achieve their goals and values in life, and they can start a business like working in a big city. How to create a truly "yearning life" for young people in the countryside, director Lu Xing gave the answer in the story.
Light Comedy Presentation:
Break stereotypes and output positive energy
To tell such a story more gripping and more interesting, director Lu Xing chose to present it in a light comedy way, "Different from the funny language comedy, we hope to highlight the joy through the fun of the character image, the comedy in the character relationship and the drama of the structure, so that the audience will smile from the heart." ”
Therefore, in the setting of Huang Siqi's image, director Lu Xing and screenwriter Hou Bei are quite careful. In the play, Huang Siqi is no longer a "good cadre" image in the traditional sense, but a ghost horse youth "post-90s". Such an abnormal setting has changed the way in which the prominent characters were presented only through good people and good deeds in the past, but through Huang Siqi's own words and deeds and his youthful and flexible "solution strategy", it slowly penetrates out, bringing the audience a refreshing feeling.
In the subtle, the moisturizer silently lets the audience feel the feelings of the work, which is also a principle that Lu Xing has always adhered to in his creation. Therefore, the use of comedy in the whole play not only vividly and flexibly increases the output of the positive energy of the main theme, but also is the most effective, subtly affecting the audience, so that everyone can rejoice together in the laughter and anger of the characters. "Let the audience sincerely recognize Huang Siqi's efforts and recognize her greatness as a grassroots young Communist Party member, which is the effect we hope." Lu Xing said.
The characters are vivid and real:
Tan Songyun + Bai Jingting has a chemical reaction
In addition, the drama is also very careful in the casting of characters. According to the traditional way, for the choice of Huang Siqi's role, it must be an actress with a big green coat. But director Lu Xing hopes that this role is not only a "cruel person", but also a "violent Lolita", "I hope that more audiences can like her, so that her drama and fun are more sufficient." Zhuang Xiaodong (Bai Jingting), who is paired with Huang Siqi, is a former Internet celebrity, "then we must find a popular actor and artist, let him give this role charm, and let the audience believe in his identity as a character and actor." Under such thinking, there is a shining combination of "Tan Songyun + Bai Jingting" - both youthful and comedic, and the acting skills online have a chemical reaction. Lü Xing said: "In addition, on this basis, we have also matched various supporting roles that we call the 'Four King Kongs', which together form a comedic rural ecological atmosphere."
During the filming of "Because There is a Home", in order to make the characters more vivid and realistic, the clothes and accessories and props purchased by the crew were purchased from local hometowns. "Although the contemporary countryside also has areas that are not rich, it is no longer the general situation in the countryside, which not only avoids the suspension of the props and costumes of the crew, but also avoids the false sense of gray-headed and tattered rural life in everyone's imagination." Lu Xing said that in order to make the image more beautiful, the crew chose to build a shooting platform in the river beach and repeatedly test the masking effect of the lens for the emotional scenes of the male and female protagonists, all in order to make the final presentation of the plot vivid and real.
