Technological innovation has become a key variable that affects and changes the global competition pattern. It can be said that the theme of science and technology has ushered in the best period of development. However, judging from the current creation, the number is not large, especially the excellent works in TV series are relatively few, which do not fully reflect the practice and achievements of my country's science and technology. Science and technology themes are a bonanza, and practitioners should strengthen their creative efforts and explore new content from multiple perspectives. From a horizontal perspective, we can focus on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum information, life and health, and biological breeding, showing China's progress, the changes of the times, and the importance of innovation; from a vertical perspective, we can also turn our attention to ancient Chinese scientific and technological figures and explore It contains the charm of traditional technology and culture; looking forward to the future, it can also strengthen the creation of science fiction themes, and use unrestrained imagination to stimulate the people's beautiful imagination of the future.
Audiences love to watch high-quality science and technology-themed film and television dramas. Objectively speaking, there are still some flaws in some of the current science and technology works, such as relatively blunt methods, some thin characters, and some distorted plots. The first thing to do is to deal with the relationship between the real and the fictional. Good science and technology works should be historically, technologically, and artistically authentic. It should not sacrifice authenticity for the sake of drama, and should not exaggerate and highlight personal abilities, and grasp the degree of reality and reality. Second, we must deal with the relationship between professionalism and popularization. Science and technology works should not only be supported by professional scientific theories, but also be told in popular narrative discourse, so as to explain the profound things in simple language and be suitable for mass communication. In short, through innovations in subject matter, content, form, and technology, we must strive to achieve unity of ideology and artistry, use wonderful stories and vivid characters, tell Chinese science and technology stories well, and carry forward the national spirit of pioneering and innovative.

TV dramas give full play to the advantages of long narratives and vividly tell the stories of Chinese science and technology. "Ask the Sky" tells the story of China's aerospace researchers breaking through the dual dilemma of foreign technology blockade and backward basic industries from 1996 to the present, and has gradually made major achievements in the fields of new rocket first flight, satellite navigation system, etc. Weak to strong development history. "You Are My Glory" looks at the rapid development and changes of China's aerospace industry from the perspective of youth, and explores how the realization of individual values can be integrated into major national missions. National aerospace professional organizations have praised them one after another, believing that the work "highly restores the true state of space workers and the problems they face in life and work". "Melody of Endeavour" focuses on the difficult process of the younger generation of researchers in developing major technological equipment and bearing technologies such as tidal energy generator sets that can generate electricity continuously, and highlights the spirit of parallel development of China's economy, society and technology in the new era."Next Station, Mars" poster
