Art Discussion Field: Pay tribute to the most adorable people with a real narrative

63 years ago today, the Chinese Volunteer Army returned to China. After 2 years and 9 months of arduous and bloody struggle, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, composed of outstanding sons and daughters of China, won a great victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Recently, several film and television works on the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea have been welcomed, and the popularity of "Chosin Lake" is still continuing, and its box office has exceeded 5.3 billion yuan; And the first unit of the hit drama "Meritorious Service", "Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian", was even searched for hot searches by "tap water" netizens; The documentary "1950 They Are Young" uses veteran dictations to retrace the glory days, allowing many viewers to take the initiative to fight for their films. The audience used the "n brush" method to pay tribute to the heroes of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

To tell the truth, at a time when the audience's aesthetics are getting higher and higher and the demand is becoming more and more diversified, it is not easy for the main theme film and television works to break the circle, especially into the hearts of young people. This shows that the director and screenwriter have begun to tell stories well, and the actors have also acted well. The most important thing is not to explain the big truth to everyone with the attitude of looking down on all sentient beings, but to give the right to feel and reflect to the audience. From the preaching of "you must do this" to the introspection of "how should I do it", this transformation from "looking down" to "looking up" gives young people enough respect, and naturally closes the distance between the main theme works and young audiences.

Many directors and screenwriters tell the main theme topic, like to look at the big picture, like the expression of "Wei Guangzheng", and ignore the more details, the more empathetic. "Meritorious Service" does the opposite, starting from a small place, dailyizing the story and breaking through the barrier between hearts and hearts. In the chapter of "Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian", in the face of deserters Xiao Anton and the soldiers, Li Yannian unites the hearts of the army with three simple but powerful heuristic questions; He asked the clerk to write down the merits of each soldier in the Battlefield Log, stimulating the soldiers' sense of honor; In order to improve the success rate of the soldiers crossing the enemy's "blockade zone", he took the risk of running to the gun pit to test the law... The whole narrative process does not deliberately show the "highlight", but Li Yannian's wise and brave image is presented in such a three-dimensional way. "Chosin Lake" also clings to this kind of people-oriented "truth", the protagonist group has different personalities, but they all have flesh and blood, and they have their own vividness in the details of their lives, and around us, we can always find people with similar personalities. In fact, film and television works, especially the main theme of film and television works, most need this kind of people-oriented, large into small, complex into simple. The bigger the image, the more it can show true feelings in ordinary subtleties; The more detailed the story, the more charm it can withstand chewing taste.

The generation of young people who grew up under the flood of water injection dramas care too much about the realism of the story, and can be said to be "not happy without truth". Only when it is really moving can it have vitality. "1950 They Are Young" is narrated through the real people of veterans who participated in the war in different services and at different times, showing their once-blooded youth and dreams in plain and subtle words, and also restoring the real battlefield. We have a thick history, which is the weight accumulated by countless enterprising lives, and in the depths of history, there are still many moving red stories waiting for us to dig. These film and television works on the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, with the real history as the background, present details one by one, so that the spiritual wind and bones of the volunteer soldiers become concrete, and with just a slight scratch, we can instantly break through the defense and burst into tears.

71 years ago, they were also vigorous young people, their living conditions, psychological trajectories, their pursuit of ideals and beliefs, their yearning for a peaceful life, and their deep love for this country can resonate with today's young people. Times have changed, the environment has changed, but the desire for a better life and the heart to forge ahead have never changed. Those young people who work hard, those who say "lie flat" in their mouths and actually do not slacken off for a moment, after understanding the stories of these heroes who have hidden their merits and names, their hearts will be more firm and calm, anchoring the direction of life, and setting sail.

In fact, young people never reject the main theme, especially this kind of "moisturizing and silent" main theme. This kind of "acceleration" that can make our country forge ahead, the kind of spirit that exudes, penetrates deeply into the hearts of every audience. For young people, true stories have their own power, and real emotions will reach the depths of the soul. "A nation with hope cannot do without heroes, and a promising country cannot do without pioneers", this sentence runs through these excellent main theme works. As long as the audience watches it carefully, they will understand and will naturally be deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Saw a comment, "Is there a sequel to The Age of Awakening?" Yes. Your happy life now is a sequel. "The predecessors paved the way for our national rejuvenation with their lives and blood, and deserve to be remembered forever." Born in the prosperous world, we shoulder heavy responsibilities, we must have the courage to take responsibility, strive for new achievements, and practice the oath of "please rest assured that the party, the strong country has me", in order to live up to the time and the times.
