Dog blood, catching horses, and dropping scum have become a common three-piece set in national dramas.
For example, the life drama "Chenghuan Ji" starring Yang Zi thought it would be a sweet drama with a healing system, but the mother-daughter relationship broke down, and it was the alley girl who met the rich second generation, and it was simply a blood pressure surge for people watching it.
There are even car accidents, cancer and other bloody and scumbag bridges, this kind of messy and suspended life, it is really difficult for ordinary people to empathize.
And in "Faint Fire", it is a horse-catching setting for a married woman and a high school student to fall in love.
In the period drama "Young Babylon", Yang Caiyu has another relationship with the young Hou Minghao.
The waves of "mom love" are simply overwhelming, and it seems that only this outrageous setting can attract the audience.
This also makes it possible to get hold of only a handful of domestic dramas after entering 2024.
But the 25-episode CCTV drama that will be broadcast tomorrow night is likely to become a recent rescue work, from the plot to the lineup, which makes people look forward to it.
First, the plot direction, the three major highlights make the entrepreneurial drama textured
"The Hometown of the Stars" tells the story of the process of Ningxia's wine industry from scratch, puts the struggle of the old, middle and young generations on the screen, and shows the audience the new development and opportunities of Ningxia's wine industry from the perspective of the growth of two young people.
Judging from the synopsis of the story, it is a typical entrepreneurial drama, and what this kind of work is most afraid of is dog blood.
Fortunately, judging from the trailer released so far, this drama is not only close to reality, but also a very textured work.
Aspect 1: The dilemma between a musical dream and a winery
The play sets the background of the story on the eve of the 2008 Olympics, and the entry point is placed on the young girl Ouyang Yixing (played by Pan Zhilin).
She successfully promoted to the rank of cellist in a top orchestra and fulfilled her musical dream, and as long as she sticks to her dream, she will definitely have better development in the future.
But at this time, her father suddenly became a vegetative state, and the winery he had devoted half his life to was also facing life-and-death worries.
The first highlight of "The Hometown of the Stars" is what choice Ouyang Yixing will make between his music dream and the winery, whether to stick to the life he wants to live, or to help his father fulfill his wishes?
If the latter is chosen, it will be difficult for Ouyang Yixing, who has never been engaged in this industry and has no concept of wine and wineries.
Therefore, Ouyang Yixing's entry into the wine industry is, in a sense, an ordinary entrepreneur starting from scratch.
Aspect 2: Solve the dilemma of its own development
But the trouble Ouyang Yixing faced was not only that he didn't know much about the industry, but also that he had to solve the actual problems of the winery while doing his homework.
In the preview, the workers surrounded her and told Ouyang Yixing an unacceptable news: the company's capital chain had long been broken.
The wages of workers are one thing, whether the production line can continue to operate is also a problem, and whether the order can be delivered on time will also be a direct trouble for Ouyang Yixing.
And how to grow better grapes, how to make these grapes resist frost, insect plague, disease and other natural problems, will also be Ouyang Yixing needs to overcome.
Aspect 3, real and twists and turns of business competition
Although the development of Ningxia's wine industry is from zero to zero, it is inseparable from the efforts of the older generation, but it is also inseparable from the persistence of the new generation, and in this process, it is necessary to constantly resist all kinds of commercial competition.
In the preview, there was a plot where someone sold the core secrets of Star Winery to the other party, and some people wanted to take advantage of the trouble to buy Star Winery at a low price.
In addition, there is also the problem of whether to choose to buy grapes from other places as the brand effect gradually reaches the brand, and the problem of whether to buy grapes from other places by the wealthy peers who sell at low prices, which are all real and tricky business wars.
Fortunately, the heroes and heroines in the play do not forget their original intentions and grow together, not only making a famous brand in Ningxia's wine industry, but also making wine that ordinary consumers can afford.
With these three realistic plot settings, the entrepreneurial drama "The Hometown of the Stars" will not overturn.
Second, the lineup is directional, the powerful factions are gathered, and the national first-class actors support the scene
CCTV's vision of drama selection has always been accurate, and this "Hometown of the Stars" can be valued, not only because of the plot, but also because of the actors.
The heroine Pan Zhilin is everyone's old acquaintance, she entered the showbiz as a child star, and has starred in "Glorious Era" and "Come on!" in recent years. Mother", "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and other works.
The biggest advantage of starring in "The Hometown of the Stars" this time is that she has previously starred in a similar play "Green Waters and Green Mountains with Smiling Faces", which is also a work in which the heroine returns to her hometown to start a business and develop the rural economy. Returning to the field of expertise, it is naturally easy for Pan Zhilin to control.
Actor Xu Yang's previous contact was mostly industry dramas, "Flying with You in the Wind", "Love Navy Blue", "Emergency Rescue", etc., and he is also a man serving in the military in the entertainment industry.
This time, the actor he played is a genius winemaker, and his character is very eye-catching, and Xu Yang, a low-key powerhouse, is obviously not a problem to play the role in place.
Among the actors of the Mesozoic Generation, Wu Qijiang, a golden supporting actor who has starred in works such as "Big River", "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", "Mountains and Seas", has handed over many big dramas one after another.
This time he still plays the image of a leader, and it is also a role in the comfort zone, Wu Qijiang has a face in the system, which is indeed very suitable for interpreting this kind of leader who is dedicated to doing practical things for the people.
The three national first-class actors directly supported the scene for this drama, the first one is the familiar Wang Jinsong, who also saw Wang Jinsong in the last CCTV drama "City in the City".
The old spicy and insidious, the city is deep, this is the intuitive feeling that Wang Jinsong gives people when he portrays the negative image, but this time he plays a positive character, an older generation of winemakers who have not changed their original intention to make Ningxia wine, and they have begun to look forward to Wang Jinsong's performance.
The second national first-class actor Guo Jinglin is also a low-key veteran actor, who has previously created the image of Yuan Longping, acting expressively and soulfully, and is one of the few actors who can act more like a god when playing a role.
In "The Hometown of the Stars", he is dressed in a suit, full of elite style, and he is an unpredictable character image just by looking at his eyes, which obviously wants to raise the acting level of the whole play.
and Li Mengnan, a first-class actor of the National Theater, will also play an important role in the play, and they alone can give everyone a reassurance.
Such a CCTV drama, who doesn't look forward to it?
