The TV series "Hometown of the Stars", produced by Ningxia and relevant cultural enterprises and reflecting the cultivation and winemaking of the grape industry, will be broadcast in prime time on the CCTV comprehensive channel (CCTV-1) of China Central Radio and Television from May 14.
The play tells the story of two generations of hard work and pioneers in the wine industry in the Gobi of Ningxia in the western part of the mainland, with dreams and hopes, and with unswerving entrepreneurial spirit, turning the "Gobi into an oasis", going to common prosperity and changing the appearance of their hometown.
"Ningxia Huangkou welcomes TV drama lovers from all over the country to come to Huangkou Winery to chase dramas, drink red wine, watch the stars, start a wonderful drunken journey, and deeply experience the romance of the 'golden latitude' of 38 degrees north latitude." On May 10, the person in charge of Ningxia Huangkou Winery told reporters.
Ningxia is located in the geometric center of China's land territory, the location is neither east nor west, the altitude is not high or low, especially as an important ecological security barrier in the northwest region, the average annual fine weather is nearly 300 days, the field of vision is transparent, you can see the stars almost all year round, it is one of the best stargazing places, so it is known as the "hometown of the stars".
In recent years, some of the world's most renowned astrophotography works have been filmed in Ningxia. Dong Shuchang, a young photographer who won two consecutive championships in the annual astrophotographer competition hosted by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, was born in the "hometown of the stars". According to the statistics of relevant departments, at least more than 30,000 starry sky tourism enthusiasts and photographers go to Ningxia every year, and stargazing science tours based on parents and children are popular in the market.
The eastern foothills of Helan Mountain in Ningxia are an excellent place for stargazing and a golden place for wine grapes. With a long history of grape cultivation and unique natural endowments, the soil at the foot of Helan Mountain is mostly sandy, breathable and rich in minerals, which is very suitable for grape growth. In addition, the abundant sunlight and the large temperature difference between day and night are conducive to the accumulation of sugar and flavor compounds in the grapes.
Zhang Xueyan said that "The Hometown of the Stars" is about how Ningxia people grow their own grapes and how they develop their own wine industry. It is this kind of special local TV series that carries the most simple emotions of Chinese TV dramas. This kind of simplicity can allow the audience to see the real laborers. And some idol dramas dressed in positive energy can't see real workers. ”
With the support of a series of industrial policies of the Party Committee and Government of the Autonomous Region, the million-acre grape corridor has gathered more and more wine "dream chasers", and the wine industry has ushered in new development opportunities. After years of hard work, Huangkou Winery has become a star winery in the Qingtongxia production area at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain.
Ningxia Huangkou Winery is located in the core production area of Ganchengzi, Qingtongxia City, at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, is a collection of wine grape planting, production, sales, education, cultural tourism as one of the science and technology modern agricultural industry chain enterprises, is founded by seven partners who are full of longing for the wine industry and also have the feelings for the benefit of the people and the pursuit of common values, and is known as the "Seven Sons of Huangkou" at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain.
Historically, the Ganchengzi area was once a border battlefield where war horses neighed and banners hunted, and there are still some ancient barracks ruins. However, the land is not inhospitable for grape growing, but rather an excellent terroir for grape growing. "The mountain breeze brings dry air to the vineyards, with little pests and diseases, which allows the grapes to ripen very well and brings a clean, elegant floral aroma to the wines of Château Royale." Zhang Xueyan said.
According to reports, Huangkou Winery has an organic grape base of 2,000 acres and an annual production capacity of 2,200 tons. In the 14th G100 International Wine and Spirits Competition, the 2018 vintage of Junior Mansson won the Grand Gold Award, making it the only winery in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain to win the Grand Gold Award that year.
Winery has a R&D team with strong scientific research ability, rich work experience, and good sensitivity to the frontier of science and technology. In recent years, the winery has obtained a total of 4 invention patents and 17 utility model patents, which have solved the difficulties and gaps in the industry's wine varieties, fermentation, equipment and other technical aspects, and made outstanding contributions to promoting the intelligent, high-end and green development of the wine industry in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain. Recently, Huangkou Winery was listed in the first batch of "Three 100" enterprises in Ningxia and won the honorary title of "Young Eagle Enterprise", becoming a model and model for the high-quality development of enterprises driven by scientific and technological innovation in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain.
Helan Eastern Foothill Wine is not only a fine wine, but also an admiration for nature, awe for the land, inheritance of wine culture, and love for life. It is precisely because of the nourishment, inheritance and continuation of culture that wine has become an emotional bond and a messenger of culture.
In the Royal Comeme Winery, bottles of wine that have been carefully cared for and polished with ingenuity are waiting for wine lovers from all over the world to come to taste and exchange, and at night while watching the stars and tasting fine wines, while chasing the drama "The Hometown of the Stars", empathizing with grape wines and paying tribute to the aesthetics of life.
