For nearly two decades, the much-anticipated "Moving China" has become one of the "compulsory courses" for Chinese audiences in the Spring Festival, like a jewel that has always been in the dust of the years, and has never "lost powder". Ordinary is the brilliance emitted by this "jewel", not singing high-pitched, not speaking big words, not speaking false words, focusing on mortals, approachable, true feelings and moving, is the symbol of "Moving China" has always been. The high standard of character selection and the all-round sophisticated production of the high-level professional team are the "hardcore" of the charm of "Moving China". In 2020, what changes and changes will this Chinese annual spiritual epic?
Character story "tear point" more Behind the scenes team "secret" more
The past 2020 has been a very extraordinary year, and the announcement of the 2020 person of the year of "Moving China" has attracted much attention. Zhang Dingyu, a "people's hero" who is terminally ill and sticks to the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, Chen Lu, a fire fighter who sacrificed himself in the flood to rescue the masses, Zhang Guimei, a public welfare principal who changed the fate of girls in mountainous areas, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang, an old couple who founded a loving kitchen to warm countless people, Wang Hai, a volunteer hero who has made great achievements in battle, Wang Yong, a courier who volunteered and guarded medical care during the epidemic, Xie Jun, chief designer of the Beidou-3 satellite who raced against time, Ye Jiaying, a female scholar who devoted her life to spreading the beauty of classical Chinese culture, asked for a heavenly road to the cliff. The contemporary yugong Mao Xianglin, who led the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, braved the hardships and dangers to measure the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and did not change the original intention of the sixty-seven years.
The ten characters carefully positioned and carefully selected by "Moving China" closely follow the focus and hot spots in 2020, showing the ubiquitous and turbulent Chinese strength and national spirit in the "special" year. In the end, "Moving China" dedicated this year's special tribute to all the anti-epidemic heroes who took their lives to the mission, protected the lives of the people with their love, and gave up their small selves to take care of the overall situation.
Chen Lunian, who died to rescue the masses during the flood fight, was only 36 years old, and when searching for his family, the film crew learned that Chen Lu's father was a retired soldier, and on the third day after his son's death, he wrote a letter to his superiors saying that "the flood control situation is still grim, and I hope to focus my main energy on the overall situation of flood prevention and flood control, and do not involve too much energy to arrange Chen Lu's future affairs." An old father still takes the overall situation into account when facing the pain of losing his son, which is touching.
The "Love Kitchen" has brought great help and psychological comfort to the families of millions of cancer patients. Before filming began, the film crew was worried that the patient's family would not accept the film. In fact, most of the interviewees were very cooperative, eager to talk, and the content of the story was also very touching. The small world of the love kitchen is like a haven of tranquility, and it is also the epitome of human warmth.
Mao Xianglin, the "leading person" of "Tiankeng Village", "chiseled" the road out of poverty and became rich on the cliff, changing the fate of the village. Local villagers cried when they said that the people who died when building the road were crying, but Mao Xianglin, who faced the camera, always "resolutely" did not shed tears, which made the film crew "scratch their heads". It was also this stubbornness that made him, who was extremely short of materials and technology at that time, dare to ask for a "heavenly road" to the dangerous situation.
When filming Zhang Guimei, the principal of the free girls' high school, she refused the film crew's request to go to the dormitory to shoot the interview, because climbing to the third floor would make her feet hurt. Zhang Guimei, who was suffering from multiple diseases, was covered with pain-relieving plasters, and her feet hurt so much that she couldn't even pull the chains on her shoes. But when she usually supervises the students' evening self-study, she can withstand the pain of climbing the stairs back and forth, and this "Iron Lady" is really cruel to herself.
"Cloud Audience" and "Cloud Guest" cross-space interaction allows moving to be conveyed at zero distance
At the end of January 2021, when the 2020 Annual People Awards Ceremony in China was ready to be recorded at the Starlight Studio in Daxing, Beijing, it caught up with the repeated epidemic situation in Tiangongyuan, 15 kilometers away, and the epidemic prevention measures were temporarily upgraded. The program team urgently contacted the testing agency and organized everyone to concentrate on testing nucleic acid, so that they could smoothly enter the studio and complete the recording work on time.
Due to epidemic prevention regulations, about 500 on-site spectators in previous years were "absent". Touching is also interactive, this is the first time to encounter a situation where there is no audience on the scene. After discussion and research, the program team unveiled the "artifact" - using virtual technology to create a cloud viewing environment, and carefully designed a novel form of audience wall. The audience did not come to the scene, but as if present, they successfully held the atmosphere and emotions. Although there is no live audience, the guest interviews are still touching. Some guests burst into tears when they talked about emotion, and the hearts in front of the screen were also touched and touched by the true feelings contained in the show. For various reasons, three guests were also "absent" from the scene. The program team braved the complicated shooting procedures, contacted three reporter stations, and dispatched satellite broadcast trucks to conduct online interviews, so that the touching emotions achieved zero-distance transmission.
Because the patient's family members cannot do without the "love kitchen" every day, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang cannot "take leave" to receive the award; Mr. Ye Jiaying, the "daughter of poetry", is nearly 100 years old and is inconvenient to come to the scene. The program team resolutely decided to "go to the door" to present the award, and on both sides of the alley where the love kitchen was located, the patient's family members who came to cook spontaneously stood on both sides to applaud the Wansa cheng xiong gengxiang couple who received the trophy and flowers, and the touching atmosphere was better than the award in the studio. The recording of this program has changed from one space to multiple spaces, and the concentration of emotions has not decreased but increased.
Every year, new pen drawings and ar techniques are unveiled in the art form
Moving China has been diligent in exploring the innovation of stage art forms, and this time the video packaging innovation is pen painting. The hard brushstrokes outline the moving moments of the year, exuding a sense of modernity and speed, which coincides with the experience of most viewers of the year, while the contrasting picture reinforces the extraordinary year of 2020.
△ The pen characters in the opening of this year's film are from pang Zhonghua's hand Oh, familiar memories of childhood.
The trophy on the tall monument in the center of the stage has always been a traditional symbol of moving China. At the beginning of 2020, the process of the huge red silk falling from the sky was completed with the "assist" of virtual technology, making the process of unveiling the trophy more realistic.
Four seas Hongwen, a lamp preacher, Ye Jiaying is "the daughter of poetry" and "elegant mr.". At the time of the award to Mr. Ye, the poetry research manuscripts presented by virtual technology floated on the stage and converged into the river, highlighting Mr. Ye's concept as a ferryman of traditional Chinese culture.
In the passage of the volunteer hero Wang Hai, the designer used ar technology to reproduce a fighter plane piloted by the hero at that time, skimming over the stage, which was very shocking. Instantly substitute the audience into the scene that was once blood-curdling, showing the hero's heroic spirit of fierce ambition and self-sacrifice for the country.
For the first time on stage this year, props were heavily used, which not only enriched the camera picture, but also contributed to the understanding of guest interviews. It also makes full use of the studio space, and the dance is closely integrated with virtual reality, which is amazing.
100-word award speech "Crowning the King" The five-word poem is the finishing touch
The award speech of less than 100 words per touching character is a major feature of moving China, and it is also one of the difficulties in creation. The award speech should have weight, be brilliant, and be appropriately sized, equivalent to the crown used in the coronation ceremony. The award speech should not only make the audience hear and understand clearly, understand and catchy, but also make the winner feel appropriate and know the voice. Popular, vivid, and condensed, it cannot be too gorgeous and contrived literary and artistic style, nor can it be too simple and shabby to be inferior, and it cannot be an empty cliché made up of big words and false words. The main points that touched the Chinese award speech: elegant in popularity, strange in plainness. After repeated polishing and modification, it is necessary to reach the point where people get goosebumps and can repeat the aftertaste.
When each touching figure received the award, a five-character ancient poem summarizing the characteristics of the character appeared on the vertical monument on the scene, which was also the landmark link of "Moving China". To select a verse that perfectly matches the spirit of the award-winning person's deeds, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the award-winning person and eventually condense it into five words. For example, Mr. Ye Jiaying's chosen image is "jade", which corresponds to the word "Ying" in his name and is also in line with Mr. Ye Jiaying's spiritual character. Therefore, he looked for Yongyu's poems from poets who were good at appreciating strange stones and jade, and found "Yunyu Bao Qinghui", which is from Li Deyu's "Inscription Strange Stones" of the Tang Dynasty. Another example is Wang Hai, the hero of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, who wrote a "model" for him, which is "fighting the jackal for the country", which is derived from the lyrics of the "Battle Song of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army". The poem found is "Strike the Jackal for the Country", word for word, from the Song Dynasty poet Ding Zhi's "Wat". There is also a dreamer who looks up at the starry sky, Xie Jun, the chief division of the Beidou satellite, for which we find the verse "The Big Dipper can be full of stars", and his life of using the Beidou to illuminate the road ahead, from the Song Dynasty Chen Zao's "Five Poems of Fu Wu Secret Zheng".
How are the best products made? Post-production is "exquisite"
After the on-site recording of the award ceremony is completed, in order to synthesize the character short film and the award process into a complete program, the "second degree of creation" of the post-editing is indispensable, which is also another key to moving China into a fine product. The short film should be reprocessed and improved as needed, and a large number of dialogues between the host and the guests need to be streamlined and trade-offs, so that the expression is smoother, the focus is more prominent, the rhythm is more bright and concise, and sometimes the post-process technology is used to make up for the mistakes and deficiencies in the early stage. This requires an editor's deep understanding of the content, a high degree of refinement, and skilled editing skills.
It is also the task of post-editing to achieve a perfect integration of elements such as commentary and music with content. The emotional rhythm of the music, the time of entry and exit, and the degree of strength and weakness should be accurate; the explanation should be accurate, the style should be consistent with the program, and the expression should be plain and concise. If you encounter cumbersome expressions, improper use of words, words that sound ambiguous, etc., they will be adjusted and modified.
The post-editing process has a large workload, occupies more time, and is very "brain-burning". When editing pictures and sounds, accuracy is calculated in "frames". A frame is the smallest unit of a television screen, and 1 second of hd screen equals 50 frames. Post-editors often have to work on this 1/50th of a second. Sometimes, adding one frame is longer and subtracting one frame is shorter. Fine products are like beauties, and it is necessary to achieve "one frame is not bad".
There are too many emotions behind the "moving", and the destined extraordinary year of 2020 has gone far with the snowflakes; the footsteps of the new spring are stepping on the warm sun, and new "moving" is germinating. "Moving China" is always there, and the touch is always there.
