Headache! That piercing roar was like God playing percussion in the sky. The subtle ripples on the shore of the willows are beating with this sound wave, as if the world is about to be swallowed by this music. This scene is like the classic scene in "To a Windy Place", a rural teenager who is covered up by the glitz of a big city. However, the moment he returned to the countryside, everything in front of him pulled him back to his former dream.
Yes, recently, the film and television industry seems to be obsessed with the theme of returning to their hometown, as if they are addicted. From the previous "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "The Glory of the Fathers", to the current "To a Windy Place", the audience was deeply attracted by this plot of returning to the countryside. However, the difference is that now even those idol stars who shuttle between high-rise buildings have begun to return to their hometowns, such as Liu Yifei, Li Xian, Zhou Yutong, Song Qian, they have brought this new trend to a new height.
This transformation is a bit like a calloused metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly, but there are more challenges behind it. I heard that the editor-in-charge of a platform revealed that since "Going to a Windy Place" has been in the limelight, the combination of film and television and cultural tourism has become a new darling. Hey, producer Xiang Yang also said that they had this idea two years ago, but there has been no progress due to the lack of original scripts, who knew that this direction would suddenly become popular.
I think this new direction is not only closely related to the social atmosphere, but also related to strong policy support. After all, today's young people are overwhelmed by the high housing prices and high pressure in first-tier cities, and their yearning for rural life is becoming stronger and stronger. In addition, it has been advocating that young people return to their hometowns to start businesses, and this kind of advocacy not only stays in reality dramas, but even penetrates into urban dramas and idol dramas.
But problems also arise. First of all, the routine of returning home has been used up badly, and some of the plot designs really make people feel "outdated". Secondly, too many works are happy endings where the protagonist returns to his hometown to start a business and finally succeeds, which is too patterned, and the audience can easily see the clues.
So, for creators, if they want to stand out, they have to put in a little more effort. The audience is not stupid, they need to see more real and in-depth stories, not those superficial homecoming entrepreneurship and sweet love. Only with the continuous efforts of the creators can they really play new tricks with the theme of returning to their hometowns and become an attractive new outlet.
Hey, don't forget the old saying, "There's still a long way to go!" ”
