Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province, the first area where the Chinese Communist Party led peasants to carry out land reform, was the prototype for the story of writer Zhou Libo's novel "The Tempest" and the film of the same name made in the 1960s, "The Tempest". As a result, today's new film, which is inextricably linked to the classic literature and cinematography of the year, will also be filmed in the same area where the story takes place.
Director Wei Qing introduced that "The Storm of Jiumei Village" (tentative name) has been adapted more artistically and life-like on the basis of the novel "Jiumei Village" by writer Min Yan. The original work tells the epic story of the three generations of female village party secretaries Yang Jiumei, Liu Jiumei and Jin Jiumei struggling to change the appearance of their hometown and pursue a better life in different historical periods such as land reform, people's communes, and co-production contracting under the leadership of the party. The creation of this film will expound the perspective from the land reform more than 70 years ago to the current rural life of rural revitalization in the new era, focusing on the vivid story of the post-80s rural female college students, the secretary of the party branch of Jiumei Village, and the village chief Jin Jiumei, who gave up urban life, resolutely returned to her hometown to lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, combined with the provincial "Xiaokang Longjiang" agricultural assistance e-commerce platform, vigorously developed the rural digital economy and cultural tourism industry, and committed to the revitalization of her hometown.
In addition, the film will be Heilongjiang Province agricultural assistance e-commerce platform "Xiaokang Longjiang" as an important through-line content into the film plot, Shangzhi Yabuli Town's property resources and cultural tourism resources in the film, and strive to in the film shooting and subsequent national publicity and screening work, for Heilongjiang Province and the filming site of the agricultural assistance work, cultural tourism industry and external image of a large-scale concentrated performance and publicity. After the film is filmed in the rural filming location, the crew will transfer to Harbin To continue shooting urban scenes, fully demonstrating the real life scenes of the current urban-rural circulation and urban-rural integration.
In this film, two young village officials become the backbone of leading the villagers on the road to poverty alleviation and prosperity. One of them is the first secretary of the village played by actor Guo Jiaming, and the other is Jin Jiumei, played by actor Yang Tongshu. The former is a cadre of an organ who has been stationed in the village for a long time to help the peasants, and the latter is a village party secretary who was born and raised and later returned from graduate school to build a new socialist countryside. This play is a little twisty for Yang Tongshu, not long ago a small accident caused her little finger to be injured, hurt her bones, underwent two minor surgeries, and now wrapped in gauze with steel nails.
Although Yang Tongshu has contacted many village cadres in the past poverty alleviation work, this time she still came to Yabuli a few days in advance to chat with many local village officials, especially female cadres. Yang Tongshu said: "The door of the village official's home is always open to the villagers, their WeChat is always informational, their mobile phones are not turned off 24 hours, the village officials I see are always calling back to WeChat, and the village cadres have to solve problems anytime and anywhere." Female village officials are particularly difficult, their income is not high, their families cannot take care of them, their families do not understand, and children complain that their mothers do not love themselves, but they still engage in this meaningful work without complaint or regret. ”
Guo Jiaming, who was born in Harbin, participated in this film for the first time that he returned to his hometown to shoot a drama, which can also be regarded as fulfilling this wish he has always had. "I left Harbin to go to school at the age of sixteen, I had hardly left Harbin before, and Yabuli had only heard of it and had never been here." He said that he had never acted in Northeast dialect before, and this time he could get addicted, but because he left his hometown too early, he had to find a supplement to the Northeast dialect.
In the past, Guo Jiaming has played the role of cadres aiding Xinjiang and poverty alleviation in film and television works, and this is the first time to play a village official, he said: "My impression of village cadres is that things are very trivial, but everything is very meaningful, and he can directly transmit the warmth of the party to the masses." When you are not exposed to it, you don't know that in fact, grassroots village cadres are a very large group. ”
On the day of the launch, on the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the grand celebration in Tiananmen Square made every Chinese excited. Guo Jiaming, who was filming, also couldn't help but secretly send a circle of friends and Microblogs to express his praise and blessings for the great party, the great motherland, and the great people. "On this special day, it is a very happy and happy thing to return to my hometown to make such a film full of positive energy and the main theme of the theme, as the male protagonist. I will try my best to portray my role well, and show our audience, especially the young people, the style and style of our contemporary generation of village officials. ”
