In the urban emotional drama "Over the Hill", which is being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, in addition to the emotional line of the male and female protagonists Ouyang Xialan (played by Zhang Li) and Peng Yue (played by Gao Hanyu), many viewers are surprised by the large number of racing elements in the play. This is actually caused by the "selfishness" of Jiang Bing, one of the main creators.

In "Over the Hill", Jiang Bing has as many as 3 identities: he is not only one of the main actors who starred in the racing driver Yuan Zhiqiang, but also the screenwriter and producer of the whole drama. In an interview with reporters, Jiang Bing revealed that "Over the Hill" is only in order to express his love for cars to the bone.
Jiang Bing played racing driver Hara Zhiqiang in "Over the Hill"
As we all know, the background of the story of "Over the Hill" is the tortuous process of how China's private automotive industry has grown from scratch and from weak to strong. From the first episode of the whole drama, the racing driver Yuan Zhiqiang, played by Jiang Bing, has played a very important role: the first time Ouyang Xialan and Peng Yue met was drag racing, this contest directly led to Ouyang Xialan's off-road vehicle breaking down, and she had no choice but to ask her friend and racing driver Yuan Zhiqiang for help. The latter can be said to be the spiritual leader and soul of the racing field in the play.
Jiang Bing said frankly, "I like cars very much, like to the bone, so I want to write a story that reflects the combination of car building and racing cars that reflect the automobile industry." It can be said that the racing driver in the play, Yuan Zhiqiang, is the type he yearns for but is limited by the limitations of real life and cannot be completely copied, with this drama he was able to personally drive a racing car and live an addiction as a professional racing driver.
The idea is there, but the process of taking root makes Jiang Bing feel the difficulty of the automotive theme works: the industry background is huge, the process is complex, and most importantly, the vigorous development of China's automobile industry determines that the speed of its replacement is very fast. "Over the Hill" took up to 8 years from the idea to the time you see it now.
The scene of "Over the Hill" filmed on the Gobi
It is worth noting that according to Jiang Bing, all the racing scenes in "Over the Hill" are all real-life shooting, such as the track, Gobi, racing services, etc., which are the first time in the history of domestic TV dramas to restore the large-scale racing rally scene in such a panoramic way. In order to shoot these materials, Jiang Bing recalled that he personally led the team to two Tour de Tala (Tour de Taklamakan Motocross Rally). In addition, during the actual shooting process, in order to restore the real scene, the main creative team chose to go to the devilish city of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang to shoot.
Not only that, Jiang Bing, who calls himself "half a racing driver", also has a deep affection for Xu Lang, another character in the play. Jiang Bing revealed that in fact, the role of Xu Lang has a character archetype, which is his master's good partner and the late famous driver Xu Lang. It is with the thought and gratitude of his best friend that Jiang Bing specially created the story of Xu Lang in the play.
