On the evening of July 9, the main theme unit drama "Our New Era" "Because there is a home" was broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, Tengxun Video, iQiyi Video, Youku Video and so on. Starring Tan Songyun, Bai Jingting and Fan Shizheng, the drama takes a number of college student village officials as the prototype, and narrates the story of huang Siqi (Tan Songyun), a college student village official, who applies Internet thinking to develop a new economy and leads the villagers to build a beautiful countryside.

Lu Xing, director of "Because I Have a Home", said in an interview with Red Star News that this is a TV series based on the real deeds of contemporary young Communist Party members. Huang Siqi in the play is not a good secretary who leads everyone to get rid of poverty and get rich in the traditional sense, but leads the villagers to develop the collective economy in the rich areas where the people eat and wear. Such a unique perspective also determines that this drama must not be bitter haha, "We used Tan Songyun, Bai Jingting, such as excellent actors loved by young people, to tell a comedic rural story through dramatic structure, to create a warm and laughable 'longing life'."

Different from the rural dramas of bitter feelings in the past, there are many laughs in "Because There is a Home", and director Lü Xing also combines the characteristics of the times and does not lock the story as poverty alleviation work in poor areas, but chooses rich areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. "The characteristic and difficulty of rural work in contemporary China is that the rural areas have lost their vitality and lacked the possibility of development because of the departure of young laborers." How to lead everyone to develop the collective economy is actually a greater sentiment and goal than getting rid of poverty and getting rich. No longer limited to filling everyone's stomach, it is a bigger test for Huang Siqi, a college student village official. She hopes to let young people stay, even if they don't leave their hometown, they have the opportunity to achieve their goals and values in life, and they can start a business like working in a big city.
In order to tell such a story more interestingly, Lu Xing chose to present it in a light comedy way, "Different from the funny comedy of language, 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 can laugh from the heart." ”
In the setting of Huang Siqi's image, Lu Xing and screenwriter Hou Bei are quite careful. Lu Xing introduced that according to the traditional way, Huang Siqi's choice must be an actress with a big green coat. But Lu Xing believes that this role is not only a determined new-age young man, but also a "violent Lolita", "I hope that more audiences can like her and make her more dramatic and interesting."

Zhuang Xiaodong, played by Bai Jingting, is a popular 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." Lu Xing introduced, 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. "In addition, on this basis, we also matched the supporting roles we call the 'Four King Kongs', which together formed 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. "Because although there are not rich areas in contemporary rural life, it is no longer the general situation in the countryside at present, which not only avoids the suspension of the props and costumes of the crew, but also avoids the false feeling of gray-headed and tattered rural life in everyone's imagination."
"Warmth contains joy, laughter contains sweat, and behind laughter and sweat is the home we love together." Lu Xing told the Red Star News reporter that on a hot land, because there is a home, so yearning. Creating a "longing life" in the countryside is the most important practical significance and value of "Because There is a Home".
