"Our New Era" was broadcast halfway, the story home was transferred from the Guangxi border minefield to the Miaojiashan Village in Guizhou, and the "village doctor" Sarina, Wu Qian, "mother and daughter" took over the baton of "explosive elites" Dou Xiao and Luan Yuanhui, etc., continuing the dialogue between young people and the peak of the big era.
"Our New Era" is divided into six units, telling the stories of the struggle and dedication of young people represented by community volunteers, skilled workers, explosives, ethnic minority village doctors, university student village officials and civil rescue teams, who are not only grassroots party members since the 18th National Congress, but also part of hundreds of millions of ordinary young people.
For highlights, please see the following episode as the key drama of "Ideal Illuminates China - The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China". On June 16, it landed on Beijing and Oriental Satellite TV, and after being broadcast by Tencent Video, iQiyi and Youku, the ratings climbed all the way, and Oriental Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV alternately reached the top. First, because of the novel theme and unique vision, and secondly, because it is related to life attitude and career choices, it has attracted the attention of young audiences and the industry.
One
"Explosive Elite"
Find your life goals and take root in the love of your life
Unlike Liu Mengyi, a technical worker in the previous unit who single-mindedly helped China's civil aviation flying dream, Liu Xishi can be said to have no great ambitions, the motivation for becoming a soldier is only to avoid the troubles of reorganizing the family, and the qualification for enlistment depends on the policy of taking care of the "martyrs' families". However, such an inconspicuous "instigator", because of a chance encounter, the explosion-proof suit "fell in love at first sight", and has since had a goal of struggle, and cultivated into a generation of "explosives elite".
Putting aside the industry characteristics of "detonators", the "Detonation Elite" unit is actually a proposition about life goals. There is "love at first sight" in love, and there are also "thousands of degrees of search for him in the crowd" in the goal of life." Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed" probability. Before Liu Xishi locked the "detonation" major, he did not care about his life goals, let alone career choices, and his attitude towards life was only an escape from his family, but once he locked in his professional choices, he also had a life goal to strive for.
I dare not say that most, at least a considerable number of young people, are at a loss for their life goals and choices, or even idle all day long. It is no wonder that contemporary young people live in a time of peace with abundant materials, with diligent fathers and fathers opening the way and no pressure of material scarcity, and for many comfortable young people, the goal of life does not seem to be so urgent. A considerable number of young people with three views are either walking on the road of finding a goal in life every day, or they are sad on the road without a goal in life. Their expectations for their goals are sometimes as good as they are in the two-dimensional game world for a high-level piece of equipment, which can be encountered but not sought.
Liu Xishi's choice of "detonation" profession has its atypical nature, but also its typicality. The atypicality is that few people will ignore the professional dangers of an explosion-proof suit because they think it is handsome, and then moth to the fire, regardless of their bodies. Its typicality lies in the fact that the new generation of young people "has money is difficult to buy I am happy", "like is the last word", regardless of the cost and return of like, simple and beautiful, representing the new generation of young people the most simple value orientation.
The right thing to get into, this is the pheromone that this story releases to contemporary young people. Elites in any industry are not innate, and elites are not labels, but practical work. Just like Liu Xishi in the play, there is no elite dream, and there is no such thing as success learning, just because the crowd has seen more explosion-proof suits, just simply likes, likes to do it well, do it, and make it a lifelong love.
Liu Xishi's process of realizing the dream of "detonating explosives" is also a process of "demining" in life. First of all, he has to pass the technical pass, and the detonator is one of the best talents, and must have excellent technology and related qualities. I dare not say that Liu Xishi is gifted, but in the things he likes, the talent shown by human beings is obviously higher than the probability of not liking. Talent did not fall from the sky, but Liu Xishi hid under the quilt and practiced diligently. At the same time, he also has to pass the family pass, the sacrifice of the engineer's father, so that the mother has a grudge against the choice of her son, this part also has family contradictions to add, Liu Xishi wants to go to the minefield, first of all, he must eliminate the minefields of the heart and the family one by one.
"Explosive Elite" adopts a non-linear narrative in terms of narrative. The main line is the chronicle of Liu Xishi and his comrades-in-arms who have become "explosives elites" in the minefield No. 1132, and the flashback part is the cultivation diary of his "detonation elite"; in the past, on the one hand, it was the bits and pieces of Liu Xishi's technical cultivation, on the other hand, it was the layers of "demining" of his family's emotions; now when it is carried out, on the one hand, he and his teammates have "shot again and again" in the minefield, and on the other hand, the friendship between the soldiers and the villagers.
The creation of the theme of "detonation" is rare, but it is always a masterpiece. In this regard, the representative works of Chinese creation include two "Bomb Disposal Experts" led by Andy Lau, which have swept away nearly 1.5 billion yuan at the box office, and the representative of foreign language films is Catherine Bigelow's "Bomb Disposal Unit", which won six small gold men including best picture and best director at the 82nd Academy Awards. In the same year that "Bomb Disposal Unit" came out, "A Thousand Juns and a Hair" directed by Director Gao Qunshu was released, which was not only based on real people and real events, but also used the live-action performance of the prototype story, and won the Affirmation of the Golden Jubilee Award and the Media Award of the Shanghai Film Festival.
In contrast, there are not many TV dramas with the theme of "detonation". Based on the explosives heroes Wang Jing and Wang Ming, "Explosives Elite" put the story of border minesweeper on the TV screen for the first time. Not only that, at the end of each episode, in addition to Wang Jing, there are border demining heroes such as Du Zhanlong, Fu Shibao, and Hu Wenfeng who appear to tell their real demining experiences, which is also the first collective group portrait of China's demining heroes.
With the silent dedication of Wang Jing and other demining fighters, more than 400 square kilometers of minefields were cleared, more than 2.2 million mines were removed, and more than 700 tons of abandoned ammunition were destroyed.
Two
Prescription for Happiness
The progress and retreat of "anti-success learning" shines where it is most needed
The part of the detonation hero Liu Xishi is still unfinished, and Liu Shilan of the medical front follows suit. Unlike Liu Xishi, Liu Shilan, a young doctor in the emergency department, has a very firm five-year goal - to study a clinical topic within three years, and to become deputy chief physician within two years after graduation. The post is there, the phased goal is clear, and the next story will, of course, not go along. The mission of the "Prescription for Happiness" unit is to realize the change of life, telling the story of a doctor who is recommended to submit for a doctorate and has a promising future, how to suddenly change the course of life, take over the baton of his mother, and become a village doctor.
The beginning of the story borrows the tone of the urban family drama, and up is the mother's forced marriage, various blind date instructions, a twisted meal, and an older leftover female terminator posture. The mother's urgency is not unexplained, the symptoms of the pre-Alzheimer's disease are coming, and as a mother, she has to race against time. But after getting the diagnosis report, the mother took the lead in changing the game, forcing the marriage into "absconding", because she had to return to the post of village doctor in the countryside and start another race with time.
This is the third time that this unit drama has used the mother-child relationship to match the value orientation of young people. The first time was in the second unit "Soaring", Liu Mengyi "disobeyed the mother queen", Ming Xiu stewardess boardwalk secret crossing technician Chen Cang; the second time was the previous unit of "Detonation Elite", Liu Xishi hid from his mother and chose a high-risk detonation major. The first two times are from disobedience to persuasion, this time in turn, using a mother's life choices to reverse the trajectory of the daughter's outlook on life.
In the Miao Village under the lens, the terraces are staggered one after another, which is a harbinger of the Internet celebrity punch card. But on the timeline of the story, it is just a forced mountain village that has just escaped poverty, the medical conditions and medical concepts are backward, and the only medical security of the villagers is the only village doctor in the village, that is, the mother Yang Huini. The daughter on the path of modern medicine does not know that mountain village medical treatment gathers factors such as history, ethnicity, society, economy, family, customs, etc., just like the intertwined vines in the mountains, and the mother is not only a village doctor, but also an inseparable part of the social fabric of Miao Village.
Mother to miao village fathers and villagers, just like the volunteers in the first unit "Beautiful You" to the community trivia, seemingly simple is not simple, seemingly complex is not complicated. In "Beautiful You", volunteers have to remove not only the "zombie car", but also the pain that cannot be healed between father and son, and in "The Prescription of Happiness", the village doctor not only has to draw silk for the villagers' illness, but also to peel off the cocoon for their psychological, family and social bonds. Taking the mother's insistence on delivering eggs to the patient as an example, the daughter and the audience are difficult to understand for a while, in fact, there is not only psychology behind it, but also sociology.
Daughter Liu Shilan's cognitive process of her mother Yang Huini is also the process of the screenwriter and director's forced medical situation in the mountain village to the audience, and the director and screenwriter are not eager to pour out the rural medical problems to the audience, but use the professional and emotional conflict between mother and daughter to show it with dramatic conflict. The process of decoding the mother of the daughter is also the process of our understanding of the medical dilemma of Miao Village, how high the gap in cognition is, and how fierce the conflict of drama is.
From the perspective of success, Liu Shilan, who has a promising future, gave up the set goal, gave up the work of the city hospital, gave up the submission of doctoral indicators, and chose the female inheritance of the mother business to become a village doctor, which is definitely overkill and self-destructive. This is like Liu Mengyi in the "Ascendas" unit who gave up the flight attendant job introduced by his mother's relationship and secretly ran to become a mechanic apprentice; just like In "Detonation Elite", Liu Xishi gave up the opportunity to escort the military school to do civilian work, and ran on the track of the explosives re-examination with steel nails.
The end of the first two stories is that the domestic regional aircraft supported by Liu Mengyi has soared into the blue sky, she is already the top talent in China and even the global aircraft manufacturing industry, and Liu Xishi has successfully completed the demining task of minefield 1132 and become a member of the army elite. In contrast, Liu Shilan, who has not yet finished, even if she finally becomes a village doctor who is respected by the villagers like her mother, her life volume is only a village doctor in the end.
From another point of view, "The Prescription for Happiness" is actually an "anti-success" story. On the surface, it is the "retreat" of her daughter Liu Shilan's career, but in fact, it is the "advance" of Miao village medical treatment, and between the advance and retreat, it is the dedication and sacrifice of individuals to the social collective. The value of this is the same as that of Liu Mengyi in "Ascendas" and Liu Xishi in "Explosives Elite". I believe that there is also a spiritual fit with the college student village official unit of "Because I Have a Home" later.
As mentioned in the current story, the Miao village where the mother dedicated her life is still forced and backward, and even the villagers are induced to see a doctor, and they have to rely on means such as sending eggs to benefits. However, it is precisely this kind of coercion and backwardness that requires high-end professionals such as Liu Shilan to transfuse blood, break the old pattern, and create a new and more scientific rural medical outlook and medical system. Breaking does not mean denying, it is the benevolent efforts of generations of healers and the continuation of the past that have led to epoch-making vicissitudes and great changes.
Success is not the gain or loss of one person and one city, but the progress of an era. The progress of an era not only requires leaders who stir up storms, but also needs role models from all walks of life, especially young models from generation to generation. The story of "The Prescription for Happiness" continues, and what has not yet been mentioned but foreseeable is that the reform of rural medical care is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of farmers, the well-being of the people, the basis for the improvement of the happiness index, and the root of the rejuvenation of the great power and the rise of the nation. Only the entry of more high-end talents and the breakthrough of innovation can form a social grand scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current.
"Our New Era" is a generous gift from Huace Film and Television to the centenary of the founding of the party. Interestingly, the six units of "Our New Era" all focus on young people and push young people to the C position of the era. These people are both grassroots party members and members of ordinary youth, they are the cornerstone and pillar of society, but also the future and hope, and they jointly strike the strong voice of the new era.
