I often hear the old people around me mention: this is only a few years of wearing unpatched clothes, and this is only a few years of eating a full meal. This may sound incredible, but it is indeed true. As the premier said during the two sessions, there are 600 million people in China who have a monthly per capita income of less than 1,000 yuan. Poverty is the biggest problem in front of us, especially in some areas with underdeveloped transportation, poverty alleviation work has become the top priority. The film "Beautiful Life" unfolds the story from the perspective of ordinary people, through the "First Secretary" Huang Wenxiu's seeing, hearing and feelings, telling her real experience of taking root in the countryside and leading the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
In the film, Huang Wenxiu's body does not have a protagonist aura, she is like ordinary people around us, facing the pressure and troubles from work, life and family, she will also be overwhelmed, emotional, and will also cry, but more or pluck up the courage to face the difficulties in front of her, and do her best to find ways and methods to solve the problems. When she first arrived in Baixiao Village, she would also feel dazed and helpless in the face of this isolated and inaccessible mountain village, but the difficulties did not crush her, but made her stronger. While organizing their own team, visiting door to door, and measuring every inch of land in Baixiao Village with their feet, they have gradually found a good way to lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
The box office of "Beautiful Life" has exceeded 50 million, the story is based on huang Wenxiu, the "first secretary" of Baixiao Village, huang Wenxiu graduated from college, returned to his hometown for the first time to work, actively responded to the call of the organization, came to Leye County Baixiao Village as the "first secretary" of the village, during the period of hardship, went deep into the field, explored the basic situation of the whole village, understood the problems and crux of the poor households in a short period of time, and formulated different plans according to the different conditions of each family, adapting to local conditions and prescribing the right medicine. Ways have been made to help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich, and remarkable results have been achieved. In the early morning of June 17, 2019, she was tragically killed by a flash flood on her way back from Bose to Leye, and gave up her precious life at the age of 30.
"Beautiful Life" is not a simple main theme film, the film's lens language, narrative techniques and story structure are quite interesting, not only get rid of the shackles of the traditional main theme of the characters tall, but also reflect a strong new meaning. The characters and stories in the film are very representative and infectious, they are based on real examples, and they are easy to be accepted by the audience. The whole film does not flow on the surface, but in the protagonist Huang Wenxiu's body has made a lot of efforts, selecting typical stories in poverty alleviation work, and spreading out with talent, taking the point to lead the face, seeing the big with the small, so as to achieve the artistic characteristics of touching everyone with sincere emotions and attracting people with real stories.
The story of Huang Wenxiu's in-depth poverty alleviation in Baixiao Village seems simple, but it is not easy to find representative examples from hundreds of vivid examples, show them to the audience with artistic expression techniques, sort out the stories from beginning to end, control the rhythm between the stories, and set off a strong atmosphere of emotional people, so as to arouse the strong resonance of the audience. Under the pinch of director Miao Yue and the passionate interpretation of actor Lang Yueting, the whole film has formed a synergy, and the characters, stories, plots, structures, etc. are both interdependent and complementary, and eventually become an inseparable organic whole.
When it comes to director Miao Yue, everyone is not unfamiliar. As a well-known screenwriter and director, he has successively directed popular works such as "West Sacred Land", "Summer Without Cicadas", "Jumei in the Sky", "Eighteen Cave Village" and won awards such as Huabiao Award, Feitian Award, and Five One Project Award. As the latest masterpiece of director Miao Yue, it can be seen that director Miao Yue is quite sophisticated in the handling of the film, ingenious in the setting of the link, and boldly brings complex contradictions and conflicts into the poverty alleviation work, thus reflecting the real living conditions and ideological reality of poor households, and bringing the audience a rare viewing experience.
