As a "Praise for the New Era, Struggle for a New Journey - a Key Project of Excellent TV Drama Exhibition", "Our Ten Years" undertakes a major narrative mission: to fully demonstrate the brilliant achievements of Chinese society in the past ten years, as well as the achievements of ordinary people A splendid journey of ever-increasing sense of well-being, happiness and security. The series is not only an affectionate gaze and retrospective summary of the past ten years, but also a sincere love for the present, determination to struggle, and a confident outlook and all-out effort for the future.

There have been so many achievements in the past ten years, and there are so many things worth narrating. "Our Ten Years" adopts the form of a unit drama to fully expand the space, content and level of the story. The production team screened more than 200 selected topics, kept improving, and selected the best among the best. The great changes that have occurred in various fields in the past ten years have been summarized and refined into eleven themes, forming eleven unit dramas, namely "Three Meals a Day". "(Eight Provisions, Original Mind China), "Light of the Desert" (Belt and Road Open China), "Love" (One Nation Unites China), "Xixiang Bright Moon" (Fairness, Justice and Law in China), "Tang Palace Night Banquet" (Spirit of China) Rich Culture China), "Perseverance" (Together with Great China), "Where Your Heart Goes" (Lucid Waters, Lush Mountains, Beautiful China), "Sharpening the Sword" (Army Builds a Strong China), "Qianhai" (Regional Coordination and Concentric China), "Ideal Life" (Fate and Shared Humanity in China), "The Future Has Come" (Science and Technology Self-improvement and Innovation in China).

Although the theme is quite grand, the incision of "Our Ten Years" is very microscopic, very personal, and very vivid. It cuts into the narrative from the perspective of small people, starts from the standpoint of ordinary people, and resonates with ordinary people's emotions. Naturally, in the microcosm It has a grand meaning, moisturizing things silently, so that the audience can deeply feel that there are you and me in the beautiful life of these ten years.

For example, the opening chapter of "Cultural China", "Night Banquet in the Tang Palace", involves major issues such as the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture, and the establishment of cultural self-confidence. However, it is based on the creative process of the popular dance program "Tang Palace Night Banquet" in 2021, focusing on how a group of unsatisfactory literary and art workers can innovate culture and create explosive models in the face of numerous challenges.

The second chapter, "National China", still has to accurately convey the grand picture of "national unity as a family, hugging together like pomegranate seeds" in the limited space of four episodes. "Love" is light-hearted and simple. It is based on the life experience of a young Han PE teacher in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It tells that he taught in a middle school in a remote area of Xinjiang. By forming a football team, he helped minority teenagers change their lives. This superficial story turns into a fascinating football story.

The third chapter, "One Heart China", focuses on the theme of regional integration since the implementation of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategy. "Qianhai" starts with young people's entrepreneurial stories, allowing the audience and the protagonist to experience the ups and downs of real entrepreneurship together. The entrepreneurial dream reflects the hopeful dream-chasing journey of the youth in the Greater Bay Area.

The fourth chapter, "Original Intention to China", also has a far-reaching intention - through eight regulations, it embodies the Communists' strict governance of the party and never forgetting their original intentions; the creator's point of view is also very down-to-earth, and "Three Meals a Day" passed a The changes in restaurants in the past ten years, the changes brought about by the eight regulations written from the perspective of the common people.

Not only are there microscopic speeches, but there are more real you and me in microscopic speeches. Therefore, the unit story of "Our Ten Years" does not conceal or shy away from the setbacks, confusions and difficulties encountered by ordinary people, and thus highlights the persistence, love and belief of ordinary people. We were able to walk side by side with the protagonist in the play, resonate at the same frequency, and boil the blood in our hearts again.

For example, in the unit drama "Tang Palace Night Banquet", before the stage show "Tang Palace Night Banquet" became popular, Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theater lived a very ordinary life, the works could not be fully marketed, and the income of the actors was not high, even the chief was only 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. Qian month, and the annual income of hundreds of thousands of first-class song and dance theater chiefs in first-tier cities, and the annual income of one million form a huge gap.

It is not easy for choreographer Chen Ran (played by Bai Baihe) to gather the hearts of the dancers; chief Yi Wenyan (played by Zhang Huiwen) has been dancing for more than ten years. Wan Peng (played by Wan Peng) is thinking of marrying her rich second-generation boyfriend. After all, there seems to be no way to give her a better life on the stage. Wang Baoyuan (played by Dong Siyi), who is full of love for the stage but lacks talent, suffers from lack of skills and is difficult to get on stage. Opportunity……

The series does not shy away from the presentation of individual predicaments

Every actress has their own troubles, just like the entanglement between ideals and reality that we encountered in the process of pursuing dreams, the audience can easily empathize with them, realize the difficulties of inheriting and persevering in traditional culture, and they finally overcome the obstacles It is also particularly exciting to create a hit like "Tang Palace Night Banquet".

The explosion of traditional culture illuminates more people

As soon as "Love" came out, young audiences could immediately understand Zhang Lei (played by Bai Yufan).

Zhang Lei (Bai Yufan) wanted a career at first

It is also for this career that he is thinking about, he traveled thousands of miles from Nanjing to Jiagastai Town, Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. But after a few days, Zhang Lei was already retreating: he was really not accustomed to the environment. I can't eat or sleep well, the football teaching equipment in the school is very limited, and the parents of the students do not support the children to use their energy to play football...

Zhang Lei once collapsed

The screenwriter did not put a high hat on Zhang Lei, as if his ideological awareness was so high when he came here. No, he is just an ordinary young man. In the face of unfamiliar situations and brand-new difficulties, he can't help but feel intimidated and want to retreat.

But he persevered in the end, for the enlightened and diligent expectations of the school leaders, for the children's love for football, and for the deep friendship of the ethnic minority compatriots. The plot soon turned into a hot-blooded football story - a counterattack by a coach who originally only knew the theory and a group of football teenagers who only had a very simple training environment, creating miracles with love.

Zhang Lei chose to stay and mingle with the children

In the subsequent chapters such as "Qianhai" and "Three Meals a Day", the same narrative strategy runs through: grand themes and micro-speaking, and miracle stories led by ordinary people.

There is no doubt that "Our Decade" is a major theme work. But when it comes to the stories of each unit, the audience can't see any blunt traces, nor is there any intention of preaching. There are only real, vivid, simple, yet profound daily stories. And "our ten years" is indeed "us" - the "ten years" owned by ordinary you and me - composed of ordinary, inconspicuous daily life, which have become unconsciously Shiny wonder.

While "Our Ten Years" is precise and relevant, it also makes an excellent and vivid theme explanation, and finally gathers the hearts of "our", let us continue to embark on a new journey with high fighting spirit and forge ahead spirit, Create new brilliance in the next decade.
