The two protagonists in the play are related to Hubei, and Enshi Landscape People's Feelings landed on the screen on October 5
Among the eight winners of the "Order of the Republic", Huang Xuhua and Zhang Fuqing, two elderly people, live in Hubei, one of them is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an honorary member of the Hubei Provincial Association for Science and Technology, who served as deputy chief engineer, deputy director, director and acting party secretary of the 719 Institute; one took root in Enshi Laifeng County after changing careers, working and living here.
According to the drama chasing calendar released by "Meritorious Service", the "Huang Xuhua's Deep Dive" unit will start broadcasting on October 2, and "Zhang Fuqing's Ordinary Life" will land on October 5. According to the clues grasped by Jimu News, Huang Xuhua's story is mainly concentrated in Shanghai, Beijing, Huludao and other places, and does not coincide much with the trajectory of his later life and work in Wuhan.
Zhang Fuqing's story is completely focused on the years when he came to Hubei after he changed careers, last year, "Zhang Fuqing's Ordinary Life" was filmed in Laifeng for many months, when Enshi's landscapes and customs will be staged in the 6 episodes of this unit' story.
During the interview, the reporter learned that the first act of "Zhang Fuqing's Ordinary Life" is that Zhang Fuqing locked the battle medal into a suitcase, "My comrades-in-arms, they are all sacrificed, what qualifications do I have to enjoy these honors?" ”
Kang Honglei, director of the "Ordinary Life of Zhang Fuqing" unit, mentioned in the documentary that in their eyes, Zhang Fuqing is not only a "remarkable" person, but also a truly admirable person, "His life was not vigorous, he hid his fame and fortune in his heart, buried in the bottom of life, and lived his life plainly." ”
It is reported that in order to truly present this moving ordinary and tenacious greatness, the main creative team did not intercept a certain fragment of Zhang Fuqing's life to tell, but stretched the narrative span from 1955 to today in 2021, trying to fully display the most simple and unpretentious commitment of a Communist Party member to the country and the people in front of the audience.
"Zhang Fuqing is not a person who can be summarized in one stage, he has been 'obscure', which stage do you take to reflect his original intention and mission of serving the people wholeheartedly?" Later, we found that we could only use his life to portray the great deeds of such a grassroots communist for the republic and the people. Kang Honglei said.
In order to shoot Zhang Fuqing's story unit well, the crew traveled all over Laifeng to survey the scenery, and the main creator deeply understood the characters
In order to shoot the story of Zhang Fuqing, in May 2020, shortly after the launch of the "Meritorious Service" project, Kang Honglei's crew came to Feng County to step on the spot.
On the 26th, in a telephone interview with a reporter from Jimu News, Zhang Fuqing's son Zhang Jianjian mentioned that the crew had traveled almost all over Laifeng at that time and went to all the places where Zhang Fuqing had worked -- including the "poor nest" Sanhu District of Laifeng County, where Zhang Fuqing was the deputy district chief, Zhang Fuqing led the masses to change the hillside into terraced terraces in the Koudong Commune, Zhang Fuqing and his co-workers together to sledgehammer and shoot cannon holes, the high-hole management area with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above sea level and cliffs on all sides, and the sinkhole where they went down to the sinkhole to find water. I also contacted many of Zhang Fuqing's colleagues who are currently alive to understand the story of their struggle together, "It was the rainy season, they got up early and went to the dark to investigate, I can feel that the crew has made a lot of efforts in order to shoot this drama." ”
Director Kang Honglei's "Soldier Assault" and "The Years of Burning Passion", Zhang Jianjian has seen it many times, and actor Guo Tao's "Parental Love" and Sun Qian's "Zhen Huan Biography" he also likes. Guo Tao plays his own father, does Zhang Jianjian feel "fit"? He laughed and said that Guo Tao's eyes were bigger than his father's, "It's certainly not like that, but I believe he will convey the spirit of my father." ”
In September 2020, before the filming of "Zhang Fuqing's Ordinary Life" began, Kang Honglei, Guo Tao, and Sun Qian also went to Zhang Fuqing's home to meet with the elderly. Zhang Jianjian said that the actors mainly came to the home to observe the living conditions, speech tone and action characteristics of the elderly, "After the start of filming, I also went to the scene several times, and Teacher Sun Qian especially hoped to be able to restore my mother's Shaanxi dialect well, and when shooting, he would ask us when he saw some lines, and how would they say when they encountered such lines when the second old man in the family encountered this kind of dialogue." ”
Zhang Jianjian recalled that when Kang Honglei came to visit his home, he also specifically asked Zhang Fuqing whether he usually watched TV dramas, "We told him that the old man almost did not watch TV dramas of war, because the plots in those dramas in the past were too 'fake' and he could not accept it." After learning about this detail, Kang Honglei also said that this is a kind of "pressure" and "reminder" for the main creators, "They said that this drama will definitely be filmed well." ”
The TV series that tells his story is about to be broadcast on the screen, is Zhang Fuqing looking forward to it? Zhang Jianjian said that his father still looked at this matter very calmly, but on the day of the broadcast, their whole family would definitely sit together and watch the drama, "Imagine it is still a little exciting." ”
