"Prepare for war and prepare for the people, good people are good and immediately three lines", "during the day the bar is pressed, at night the bar is pressed", "Three stones set up a pot, and the tent is set up in the mountain nest"...
If you turn back the time to the 60s and 70s of the last century, you may be able to see such a scene in Panzhihua: tens of thousands of builders live in sheds, sleep on wooden beds, drink river water on this barren land, and under extremely difficult conditions such as no water, no electricity, no roads, and no housing, "dry and hard" houses bloom everywhere. This is the Panzhihua in the "three-line construction" period.
But at the moment, turn on the TV, in the golden time period of CCTV, people can still see the epitome of that era and the group of people from the plot of the film and television drama "The Fiery Red Years". Recently, "The Year of Fire" was launched, the drama with the national "three-line construction" as the background, to the nineteen metallurgical, Pangang, Panmei and other famous third-line industrial enterprises as the story prototype, with Panzhihua Market as the main filming location, panoramic display of the older generation of third-line builders under the call of the state, not far away from thousands of miles to the valley of the great southwest, in the total area of 2.5 square kilometers of Nonglangping, challenging the world precedent to build a 3 million tons of large-scale steel joint enterprise story.
On September 27, the cover news reporter interviewed Wang Wenjie, the general director of the show. It is reported that after the three episodes of the show, the ratings continued to rise, continuously occupying the first place in the ratings of Maoyan Cool Cloud TV series, the first place in the Huanwang TV-Zone, and the first place in the CSM CCTV channel. Speaking of this ratings achievement, Wang Wenjie said: "The main theme of the TV series can be broadcast to such a degree, it is still gratifying. As the plot advances, there is room for ratings to appreciate and may get better and better. ”
The hardest fight
"It's life and it's hard in the heart"
If you want to use one word to describe the first half of the film and television drama "The Fiery Red Years", perhaps the word "hardship" is more appropriate. At the beginning of the plot, the male protagonist Xia Fangzhou, who came to the "Chuannan Iron and Steel" construction site to investigate, was "on the bar" with Master Chen Guomin, who was in charge of the command, because of the problem of overloading the crane. Behind this contradiction is the difficulty faced by the construction of the third line at that time - without roads, large-scale equipment cannot enter. At the same time, with the young people being assigned to live in the shed, bathing in the cold water of the Jinsha River, and lighting the kerosene lamp training materials, the audience experienced the hardship and simplicity of the conditions at that time. The life dilemma revealed in the plot is actually the epitome and reproduction of the third-line construction in that year.
"It's been three episodes now, and you can see that [the builders] didn't even have electricity when they first went, and there were now wires on the shelf. Living in a thatched house, if someone smokes, lights an oil lamp and reads a book, it is easy to catch fire, and in the play we show that there are two fires. "Speaking of the plot, Wang Wenjie said slowly, only after the tenth episode, the protagonists in the play live in a house built on cement boards." And it is not good to eat, when you can eat the salted fish of Jianghan in Panzhihua, it is delicious. Most of them are what cabbage tofu. Then the work is hard, the living is not good, but there is a string to support themselves, that is, the spirit of struggle, the spirit of dedication. ”
Not only is it the hardship of living conditions, but to build a "barren land" into a modern industrial base, the builders have to face more spiritual questions. Wang Wenjie returned to the plot itself, saying that there were some problems in the construction of Chuannan Iron and Steel, pointing out that the problem was very risky. "But there is a spirit that supports it, can boldly point out contradictions, reform, and risk being punished, and boldly do it." In fact, this is also a hardship in the heart, and it must have a particularly tenacious perseverance to be able to do it. ”
After saying the "hardship" in the play, in addition to the plot, there are also many "hardships" in the filming process of the whole play. For example, to shoot the big scenes in the play, such as the picture of the male protagonist Ark being injured and rescued, as well as the picture of natural disasters such as the arrival of heavy rain and landslides, the difficulty is needless to say. More importantly, to show the magnificent momentum of the construction of the third line in that year, Wang Wenjie said that this is the most difficult. "There's no way, I have to solve these shooting problems one by one, this is my biggest headache, but also the most difficult."
The most heart-pounding
"I was full of tears to photograph the martyrs passing away"
Indeed, the period of the construction of the third line was an era of material scarcity, and a large number of spirited builders came to the depths of the Panxi Rift Valley, which stretched through the ravines, and cut through thorns. They worked in the basehouse, lived in the shed, slept on the wooden bed... Living a life that is not rich. But is it really only "hard"? No, in "The Fiery Years", the happy life of a group of science and engineering men at the construction site makes the audience nervous and sometimes hilarious. At the same time, romantic feelings also grow in this land, and the love of the male protagonist Xia Fangzhou and the female protagonist Qin Xiaodan at first sight makes people feel the poetic romance that belongs to that era.
These young beings, at the most beautiful age, water the development of a city with their youth. Because of this, when these beautiful lives are gone, it is the most regrettable and painful. Wang Wenjie also said that the string that touched his heart the most in the play was the martyr who was sacrificed.
"In the play, the death of Li Xinmei, the death of Lu Tinglan and Qi Guangfu, in the scene of their sacrifice, I put a lot of effort into thinking about it. Because they left their hometown at a young age, came to such a difficult place, and did not wait for fame or see the glory of the city, they were already sacrificed. This is the saddest thing I struggle with. During the shooting, I also went to shoot these scenes with tears. What touched me the most was probably these martyrs who sacrificed, and the script also touched me. ”
Wang Wenjie also specifically said that the prototype of Li Xinmei's death in the play comes from the data he has seen, and it is recorded that the prototype character died in a tragic car accident. "That car was knocked out of shape. A young life, just passed away, only in his 20s, what a pity. When I saw this interview, I was really shocked. Wang Wenjie recalled.
