After the TV series "Our Ten Years", which was launched with the theme of recording the social development and progress of the new era and reflecting the people's desire and struggle for a better life, has won praise from audiences and experts.
Compared with similar works of realistic themes, "Our Ten Years" is characterized by broader vision, far-reaching intentions, more delicate techniques, and more historical charm and imprint of the times.
This work not only paints us a picture of Tianzhang Yunjin in the new era, but also delicately reproduces the stitches and strands of this splendid painting of mountains and rivers. The atmosphere of freehand brushwork has not only the turbulent development of the ten-year history in the new era, but also the splendor of every wave stirred up in the torrent. This historical pen is a god, the artistic pen is brilliant, and it is superimposed with a dual focus on history and art, which can make everyone who has experienced these ten years feel deeply and emotionally. For the brilliance of this decade, a picture scroll of artistic writing has been left.
The theme of "Our Ten Years" is to describe the great achievements of the country and the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people in the unremitting struggle to realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation in the new era. Such a grand creative theme and such rich content obviously requires a structure method and material selection angle that can break through the conventional. Therefore, the play adopts a "unit combination" structure method, which summarizes and refines the great changes that have taken place in various fields in the country in the new era into eleven stories and forms eleven unit plays. This is: Original Heart China "Three Meals a Day", "Light of the Desert" of Open China, "Love" of Nation China, "Xixiang Bright Moon" of China ruled by law, "Night Banquet of Tang Palace" of Cultural China, "Perseverance" of China in the same boat, beautiful China's "Where the Heart Goes", Strong China's "Sharpening the Sword", Tongxin China's "Qianhai", Global China's "Ideal Life", and Technological China's "The Future Has Come". The content of these eleven unit dramas basically witnessed the achievements and changes made by the country in various fields in the new era, thus building a structural framework to realize its theme and purpose. At the same time, in terms of content writing, each story chooses to highlight its "people make history" angle, with the most ordinary and ordinary people as the protagonists of the story, transforming the grand historical narrative into a delicate and vivid real life The mirror image realizes the artistic ingenuity of seeing the extraordinary in ordinary places, and embodying grandeur rather than sophistication. The combination of the eleven stories and the structure of the play are not only an innovative artistic practice, but also reflect the creator's deep understanding and perception of the ten-year history of the new era.
Each unit story in "Our Ten Years" is basically adapted from the material obtained by the editors and creators from on-the-spot interviews and in-depth life. Some stories are even more real and real. : For example, "Desert Light" was created in the "Belt and Road" construction, based on the deeds of the Chinese company Chint Company in the construction of the photovoltaic industrial park in Aswan Province, Egypt as a prototype; The life experience of a young Han nationality physical education teacher is based on the story of his teaching in a middle school in a remote area of Xinjiang, and he helped minority youths change their lives by setting up a football team. The creative process of the dance program is the prototype, and it shows the love and innovation of the new generation of literary and art workers for traditional culture... It is the basis of the authenticity of the characters and life in the play, which makes the work exude a strong flavor of the times and quality of life.
At the same time, it can also mobilize the audience's own life experience, so as to have a real resonance and identification with the work. The creators did not slack off in the artistic appeal and expressive power endowed by these real stories and characters, and when they used video narrative art to reshape these realities of life: the ingenious conception of each chapter, the attention to every detail The precise capture of the real material and creative inspiration obtained from life, and then converted into the restoration of life from the perspective of art... All these efforts constitute the work formed by the combination of real life and art. Distinctive features.
Although the creative form of the "series of unit dramas" adopted in "Our Ten Years" is rare, it can reflect the current drama in terms of the theme conception, material selection angle, artistic expression, genre style, length of space, etc. Inspired by realistic themes.
The prosperity of reality TV dramas in recent years is an indisputable fact. But under the surface of "hot", there seems to be a "cold" situation hidden. This is why some realistic-themed creations are often too concentrated in the areas of daily life such as cities, families, workplaces, marriage and love, and lack in reflecting the breadth and depth of real life, which limits the horizons of realist creations. Some works that describe current real life are also keen to focus on the trivial content of daily life such as the house, children, wife, work, etc., and the themes that go beyond the scope of daily life are relatively few and cold. In "Our Ten Years", the works show us a broader and thicker social and real life content. It opens up a wider field for the creation of realistic themes, giving the creation of realistic themes a sense of depth and extension, and at the same time provides a richer variety of play types: from the first episode of "Banquet at the Tang Palace", we Seeing the charm of traditional culture, from "Three Meals a Day", we will see the changes in the political atmosphere after the "Eight Rules", and from "Light of the Desert", we will see the strength of Chinese enterprises going abroad, From "The Future Has Come", we will see the development speed of China's science and technology, from "Love", we will see the current situation of education in frontier ethnic areas, and from "Xixiang Bright Moon", we will see the eradication of crime The intensity and achievements of evil, from "Sharpening the Sword", we will see the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, from "Ideal Life", we will see the degree of internationalization of Yiwu, from "Where the Heart Goes", we will see We will see the present and future of the beautiful countryside. From "Perseverance", we will see the strength of the people in the face of the epidemic to fight the epidemic together. From "Qianhai", we will see the cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao regions for young people. Opportunities provided by entrepreneurship... The themes involved in these unit dramas include military, rural, epidemic, science and technology, ethnicity, international, legal system, culture, epidemic, entrepreneurship... It is this broad creative vision and diverse The genre approach allows the work "Our Ten Years" to truly demonstrate the breadth and depth of popularity that realist creations should have.
In addition, "Our Ten Years" adopts the short play mode of "short and delicate as chapters", which also allows us to see the artistic advantages and characteristics of the emerging short play type. It can be seen that the creators have borrowed the style of some fine online dramas and similar movie-like script ideas, and have done the maximum artistic refinement and concentration of the stories to be told, squeezing out all the water, and also eliminating the non-artistic nature. 's preaching. This creative method of cutting stones and extracting jade and the pursuit of innovation with a short blog will undoubtedly play a corrective role in overcoming the bad habit of water injection in the creation of TV dramas and the drawbacks of sloppy and sloppy art.
