Wanmixi Village is a famous poor mountain village, with less than 6 points of cultivated land per capita, no other resources to use, and traffic difficulties. It has never taken off its "poor hat" for hundreds of years. It was not until the arrival of Pu Quansheng, a young poverty alleviation cadre, that the situation of Wanmixi Village was gradually changed … The story of the drama "There are so many beauties in the Jiangshan" was slowly unfolding, telling the story of the struggle of urban youth represented by Pu Quansheng and Sha Ou in Xiangxi Mountain Village for the great battle of poverty alleviation.

　

After the drama was broadcast, not only the development fate of Wanmixi Village in the drama touched people’s hearts; The prototype of the village, Mudixi Village in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, has also become online celebrity Village, and a series of earth-shaking changes are taking place in this poor and backward mountain village.

At the seminar "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan" held on March 10th, the guests started from the drama series and exchanged views on the practical value of the theme of poverty alleviation.

　

"From the broadcast point of view, Minning Town and" There are so many beauties in Jiangshan "are like a pair of’ sister flowers’, both of which are key plays of the General Administration and have been recognized by the audience." At the seminar on "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan", Gao Changli, director of the TV drama department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, reviewed the recent main melody TV series and talked about two feelings from "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan":

　

First, the theme creation needs to take the initiative to issue questions and organize creation."There are so many beauties in the mountains" is the topic actively planned by the relevant leading departments in Hunan Province. The advantage of organizing creation is that it can "push" the creators into life to interview and investigate, and avoid behind closed doors. Minning Town had overturned the original outline of the previous Stone Blossom, and then asked the screenwriter and director to look for inspiration and material in life, and finally achieved good works.

　

Second, poverty alleviation is an eternal theme, and rural revitalization is a new battlefield.On the centenary of the founding of the Party, China’s overall victory in tackling poverty is a great practice in the history of human poverty reduction and a miracle in history. The story of poverty alleviation should be told for a long time. At the same time, literary and artistic creation should keep pace with the times, and a new journey of rural revitalization has begun. One of the great values of So many beautiful mountains is that it attracts young people to pay attention to rural issues and has a certain appeal to young people to return home, which is also the unique role of literary and artistic works. It is expected that Hunan’s "So" series will continue to exert its strength and let the audience see that "the countryside is so beautiful".

Regional customs add color to rural themes.　

In recent years, China’s rural dramas have reached the peak of creation, and a number of dramas reflecting China’s poverty alleviation have emerged one after another. Judging from the broadcast feedback, the dramas with distinctive regional characteristics performed well: the northwest customs in Minning Town and the Tujia customs in So many beautiful mountains left a deep impression on the audience.

　

"A prominent feature of" There are so many beauties in Jiangshan "is that it enriches the regional characteristics of rural TV dramas in China." Li Jingsheng, vice president of China Federation of Radio and Television Social Organizations, mentioned that the beauty of "There are so many beautiful rivers and mountains" lies in that it does not follow the conventional road, but injects distinctive regional characteristics into the drama itself through the freshness of content, form and language. "This is a creative attitude that we should cherish."

　

Sheng Boji, a film and television critic and counselor of Hunan provincial government, said that "There are so many beauties in the mountains" tells the story of Wanmixi Village’s poverty alleviation. The audience can know from the natural environment and human environment that this story must have happened in the southern mountainous area of China, and even know that the story happened in Hunan’s ethnic cottage. "I am familiar with the grass and trees in Xiangxi, focusing on the environmental images and ethnic images of the whole drama, which have truly restored the regional characteristics and are highly in line with local characteristics."

　

The formation of regional characteristics can not be separated from the repeated polishing of creative links. Zhang Huali, Party Secretary and Chairman of Hunan Radio, Film and Television Group Company (Taiwan), mentioned at the meeting that "There are so many beauties in the mountains" lasted for 11 months from the project establishment to the launch. During this period, the creative team visited many villages in western Hunan for many times and collected rich first-hand creative materials.

　

"When creating this drama, the leaders of various departments are emphasizing one sentence. The main theme TV series is the TV series first, and the creators should return to the creation of TV series." As a screenwriter of "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan", Wang Chenggang compared this task to "soldiers on the battlefield". He believed that "it is impossible to see poverty alleviation cadres in a comfortable study, let alone smell the mud on them."

　

The front line of poverty alleviation has become the permanent residence of the creative team. "When you see so many post-80s and post-90s in the front line of poverty alleviation, you will understand who the hero of this story is and what the relationship between the characters is. In the end, the series will focus on’ young people’. With the ideals and responsibilities of young people, poverty alleviation will certainly succeed. " Wang Chenggang said.

Poverty alleviation in and out of the drama

In the play, Pu Quansheng pays attention to "helping the poor first" and "transforming blood transfusion into hematopoiesis" to stimulate the local people’s fighting spirit of "fighting for dignity". He led the villagers to establish sericulture bases and tea cooperatives successively, which solved various problems such as accurate identification of poor households, left-behind children and relocation, helped Wanmixi Village to successfully "take off its hat" and realized the long-cherished wish of several generations of poverty alleviation cadres.

Luo Jin, the actor who plays the role of Pu Quansheng in the play, shared his performance experience. "After being exposed to" There are so many beauties in the country ",I feel that my mission as an actor is even heavier. This drama implants the elements of positive energy into it, which can infect the audience and bring people aftertaste and reflection. "　

In this regard, Wang Shengxiao, a doctoral student at Renmin University of China, was deeply touched as a representative of the audience. In his view, the reason why this drama resonated with young people was because it truly showed how poverty-stricken cadres mingled with grassroots people in the front line, and the idealistic passion in the drama also inspired young people to shine in their struggles.

During the broadcast of TV series, the story of getting rid of poverty in the drama is in full swing, and the action of helping rural revitalization outside the drama is also advancing simultaneously.

"I think a good play depends not only on what happens when it is broadcast, but also on what happens after it is broadcast." Guo Jia, deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of the Propaganda Department of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, said, "After the drama was broadcast, Luo Jin and several leading actors spoke for the strength of our shooting location. Mudixi village was on fire, and farmers increased their income. Even our NPC deputies sang the ending song" Come to see you with happiness "of the drama."　

Although "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan" has ended, its social influence continues. According to Ding Cheng, member of the Party Committee, deputy general manager and deputy director of Hunan Radio, Film and Television Group Corporation (Taiwan), after the play was broadcast, the infrastructure of Mudixi Village was gradually improved, and the audience who came to punch in was in an endless stream. The tourism income was more than 30 million yuan, which not only improved the living standards of the villagers, but also attracted more high-quality talents to return to their hometowns and join in the construction of their hometowns, realizing a virtuous circle of local development. The story of Mudixi Village’s poverty alleviation is still being written.
