Chapter 518 This is the real power
The TV series "Mountains and Seas" can be said to be concise and powerful.
Although the entire TV series covers a long period of time, it is not very long. If we follow some other people's opinions, then a TV series with such a long span should have at least 40 episodes.
But in the end, this TV series only had 23 episodes.
Everyone felt unsatisfied after watching it.
Especially the last scene, where Ma Defu’s children returned to Yongquan Village.
Children once wanted to escape from the mountains.
Today's children run among green mountains and clear waters.
"You are probably like me. I can't imagine that this is the poor mountain valley that the children wanted to escape from back then. Xihaigu is the most barren place in the world. When ecology thrives, civilization thrives. In more than 20 years, we have not only created a new home in the Gobi Desert, but also harvested the green mountains and clear waters of Xihaigu. The mountains and rivers have changed, the water and soil have been reborn, and the dream of making the frontier a place like the south of the Yangtze River is being realized."
With Ma Defu's voice-over, everyone saw the contrast between the past and the present. Just as Ma Defu said, what the situation was here back then is what it is like now.
People often say that things change over time, but even here in Xihaigu, it did not take thirty years. It was only with the joint efforts of everyone over the past twenty years that we have achieved the current results.
This drama is a mission drama, a main theme drama, and the most difficult poverty alleviation drama to shoot among all the mission dramas in history.
You have to know that mission dramas are often quite difficult to make, that is, they need to have positive energy, but at the same time they cannot be empty and empty. In many so-called mission dramas, the good guys are too good, and the better they are, the more they suffer, while the worse the bad guys are, the more they benefit.
This is actually not just a problem with mission dramas, it is a common problem with all urban dramas.
Basically, good people don't get good rewards, and the more selfish a person is, the more benefits they can get.
This is also the reason why everyone dislikes urban dramas.
But, many urban dramas are done this way.
The better a person is, the more miserable his life is. There are all kinds of miseries in life, such as wives cheating on him, raising other people's children, getting sick, going to jail, etc.
In short, I don’t know what some screenwriters are thinking, but it’s as if she exudes the aura of a virgin, which is really amazing.
In fact, the audience often wants to know why? ?
Damn, can't these screenwriters be a little more normal? ?
Even the works of screenwriters are always ridiculous, ridiculous, and ridiculous.
Everyone has been suffering from this dog-blood thing for a long time.
For this reason, "Mountains and Seas" makes people feel particularly comfortable, because this drama is not tragic for the sake of tragedy. The tragedy of Shuihua is actually a bit of helplessness in the great era.
Not only that, we can see that the lives of several leading actors have their ups and downs, and there is no so-called distorted values, nor is it fake or unreal. On the contrary, it is a normal plot.
After 23 episodes, it ended with everyone still wanting more.
For the TV series "Mountains and Seas", the ratings exceeded 7 at the finale.
If it were in the past, such a phenomenal TV series as "Mountains and Seas" would have probably had a viewership rating of over 10 long ago. You should know that the current rating of "Mountains and Seas" has reached over 9 points.
This is a phenomenal TV show.
However, even though such a phenomenal TV series has received rave reviews, its ratings have not exceeded 10.
This proves one thing, that is, TV dramas are indeed in decline. TV stations have indeed been getting worse and worse in the past two years. Precisely because of this, basically more and more people are starting to make online dramas.
Just like everyone is no longer surprised that Yao Qing is filming a web drama.
After all, this has become the norm.
But web dramas are not that easy to shoot, and many famous directors have basically failed in their web dramas. That is why when Yao Qing said during the filming of the web drama that he wanted to tell everyone how to shoot a web drama, many people were actually ready to wait and see.
These days, it is quite normal for veteran directors to fail.
Let me say one more thing: it is rare to find an old director who has never made a mistake.
Let’s not talk about this for now. Today, the day after the finale of "Mountains and Seas", the discussion about this TV series on the Internet is still on the hot search.
"Oh my god, such a classic and good TV series has a viewership rating of less than 10?"
"That's right. I can't understand it at all. How is this possible???"
"The TV stations are having a really hard time. I originally thought that the TV series "Mountains and Seas" would get good ratings."
"That's enough. A rating of over 7 is already a rare phenomenon. And this drama is really a rare phenomenon. It has a good reputation and a record-breaking ratings."
"Alas, if it was two years ago, the ratings of such a TV series would definitely be over ten, but now, we can only say that the TV series is getting worse and worse."
"I don't think it has much to do with the TV series' decline. I think it's just that people are watching more and paying more attention to more things."
…
The discussion was so heated, and among these discussions, many people actually felt truly regretful.
After all, in everyone's opinion, a TV series like "Mountains and Seas" is considered phenomenal if its ratings have exceeded 10, right? ?
Now that the show has ended, the discussion has not decreased, but has further soared.
How to say it? ?
Everyone thinks that "Mountains and Seas" is an ensemble drama.
What were the poverty alleviation dramas like in the past?
It really makes people speechless, either angry or helpless.
But "Mountains and Seas" is not.
This TV series is cruel. For example, the poorer people are, the more they resign themselves to their fate, and many farmers have lost hope for the future. However, some people who are helping with poverty alleviation have light in their eyes.
Poverty alleviation is not just about material support, on the contrary, it is also about spiritual support.
Many people think that the character of Ma Defu is very well written, and this character is the soul of the entire TV series.
It's not that he is without flaws, but it is precisely because of these flaws that he seems real to everyone.
A drama that vividly displays poverty and hardship, vividly displays the various difficulties encountered on the road to poverty alleviation, and vividly displays the mere calculations of some ordinary people but their true feelings and passion at critical moments.
This is the focus of everyone's discussion.
There is an old saying that poverty and bad water breed unruly people, but it is precisely because generation after generation of people refuse to give up and want to change the local environment and the local people that they can be poor but their ambitions cannot be short-sighted.
Twenty years later, who could have imagined that I would be living such a good life?
At that time, it was difficult to have a full meal, but what about now? ? ?
Many people often say how hard and difficult life is, but compared to the past, we are indeed living in the best times.
The above remarks can be found everywhere on Douhu.
And many people are sharing their personal experiences.
Everyone said that they never expected a poverty alleviation drama to be filmed so well, but what moved everyone even more was the reality of the drama.
Because a lot of poverty alleviation work is actually being carried out.
Just like some people explained to you.
Xihaigu in "Mountains and Seas" was actually initially said to be an unsuitable place to live. Only potatoes could be grown here, and even if it didn't rain for a year, there would not be a good harvest of potatoes.
Some locals said that they eat potatoes every day here, nothing but potatoes.
Not to mention the roads.
It’s an old saying.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
But in those conditions, people couldn’t even get food to eat, and the land was completely barren, so how could they build a road???
Just like what is shown on TV, poverty alleviation will encounter all kinds of difficulties. Sometimes, it may be artistically processed and beautified in the TV dramas, but the reality is not like that.
Reality is cruel.
Many people working on poverty alleviation have died from overwork or accidents.
One good thing about the TV series "Mountains and Seas" is that it is quite qualified as a mission drama. It can be said that it introduces to everyone what poverty alleviation is about, what difficulties will be encountered in poverty alleviation, and even what problems will be encountered.
We are not afraid of problems because once we discover a problem we just find a way to solve it.
After the show ended, it was promoted everywhere.
Many people have paid more attention to the work of poverty alleviation because of the TV series "Mountains and Seas".
Fame and fortune in both hands.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, as a young screenwriter, yes, Yu Xiaoshu is still young, and as a young screenwriter, he is really quite outstanding.
As a screenwriter of a mission drama, Yu Xiaoshu is able to write the plot in a very down-to-earth manner, and at the same time with some artistic processing.
No wonder many people say that Yu Xiaoshu has no shortcomings.
Yu Xiaoshu actually understands things like poverty alleviation.
To this.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't say that he knew everything.
In fact, when Yu Xiaoshu was an agent on Earth, he took his artists to the mountain village. At that time, doing charity was mainly a show.
That's right.
For an artist, the best way to perform is through charity, because it is both safe and profitable.
Otherwise, why do many celebrities do some charity work when they want to make a comeback?
The principle is actually similar.
However, what made Yu Xiaoshu different from others was that he saw the plight of those children. He saw that many children sometimes could not even afford meat, and many children did not even have the opportunity to study.
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu began to donate silently.
In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu has done a very good job.
Yu Xiaoshu actually cried when watching "Mountains and Seas".
He knew that some of them were really bitter.
After traveling through time, Yu Xiaoshu specially sought out some consultants when writing this script. Although he knew a little bit about it, he couldn't just copy the script exactly.
There are some things you still need to understand yourself.
That's the case a lot of the time.
At any time, you must never forget to learn.
Only by continuous learning can we become better and better.
Plagiarism is fine, but even with plagiarism there may come a day when one’s creativity runs out. Yu Xiaoshu hopes that he will always be highly competitive.
Therefore, every time he wrote a script, he was basically doing some learning.
The same is true for "Mountains and Seas".
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu has never asked too much about the TV series "Mountains and Seas". He didn't care about it after he finished writing the script. He just said that there was no problem with the script.
As for the selection of actors, Yu Xiaoshu gave some suggestions.
The actor who played the male lead, Ning Xing, was recommended by Yu Xiaoshu.
Ning Xing is not a newcomer, and he has acted in many film and television dramas. His acting skills are also quite good, but he is not popular. And it’s not just because he is not popular, but because people can’t remember him.
No representative works.
People are not familiar with Ning Xing when he is mentioned, but when they see his face, they say they know him. But when they think about what kind of works Ning Xing has acted in, they have no impression.
This is Ning Xing’s dilemma.
Ning Xing, who is already 34 years old, actually has good resources and has worked with many big directors.
But there was no chance to get up.
What else would the entertainment industry say???
Small fame depends on promotion, great fame depends on luck.
You don't have that fate, no matter how much you praise you, it won't work.
There were only a few of them on Earth back then.
The same is true here now.
Ning Xing is one of them.
The key point is that he was a child star and played the leading role at the age of 15.
Think about it.
After so many years, Ning Xing still does not have a representative work of his own, and every time his work becomes popular, it is not him that the audience will ever remember.
This is not a question of whether it is embarrassing or not.
This is simply enough to make one vomit blood.
For this reason, this time, when Ning Xing received the "Mountains and Seas" project, he agreed without thinking.
The agent also suggested to Ning Xing that this was a mission drama, a poverty alleviation mission drama, and it might not necessarily perform very well. Besides, after all, Yu Xiaoshu only wrote the script and he was not responsible for the follow-up. Whether it flopped or not, we should be cautious.
In this regard, Ning Xing expressed that he was still cautious.
I am 34 years old, and in a few years, if I still don’t have the opportunity, I may really be left with no resources.
Now while there are still resources, shouldn’t I hurry up and seize the opportunity? ? ?
Not to mention Yu Xiaoshu's script.
Then you must take it.
Just like that, Ning Xing took over the script directly and played the role of Ma Defu.
It can be said that Ning Xing played Ma Defu quite well.
The most important thing is that acting in dialect doesn't feel out of place at all.
Ning Xing did not lose out when acting against several other veteran actors.
In this drama, Ning Xing was finally praised by everyone.
Today, Ning Xing is also on the hot search list.
Some people even said that poverty alleviation could be successful because there were countless people like Ma Defu who were passionate and had dreams.
Among them, many people also said that Ning Xing portrayed Ma Defu's spiritual temperament.
It became popular.
Ning Xing became famous.
But it’s not just Ning Xing who is popular in the drama “Mountains and Seas”.
