Love between mountains and seas: the ideal is that mountains and seas are separated, and mountains and seas can also be connected. What impressed the audience with "Love between Mountains and Seas"?

The 9.4-point New Year drama "Wang" triggered a wave of watching and commenting on the drama on TV platforms and social networks. This is the TV series Ning Min Town produced by Noon Sunshine, directed by Kong Sheng and starring Huang Xuan, Rezaiyi, Huang Yao and Bai.

"Ning Min Town" tells the story that in the 1990s, people in Xihaigu, Ningxia, known as "the barren land in the world", with the help of the national poverty alleviation policy and experts and funds from Fujian Province, established the cooperative demonstration unit "Ningmin Village", and finally built a new home in the south of the Yangtze River, pursuing a new inheritance of "clear water and green mountains are priceless".

The first time I listen to the name and plot of this drama, many young people will definitely dissuade me, and it doesn't sound like it will lead to discussion in the online discourse space. However, after the broadcast of Ningmin Town, many young viewers called it "Shangtou" and "local drama" with laughter and tears.

As a "mission drama", Ning Min Town has made rapid progress on the social platform dominated by young people. The collision between northwest dialect and Fujian accent, the simple and sincere relationship between characters, the nuanced scenes and manners, and the true reduction of poverty and poverty alleviation have all become hot topics.

The success of "Ningmin Town" shows that the title of "task drama" is not the original sin of insufficient attention, but the changed characters, routine plots and false narratives are the reasons for the mediocre response of some main melody dramas. Good literary and artistic works need to be loved by the people, and what they say is true.

The story of mountains and seas

In today's domestic drama market, where water is injected into a fixed mode and the volume is 60 to 70, Ningmin Town has become a "clean stream" with 23 episodes. However, in the length of 23 episodes, the drama has achieved a multi-line parallel narrative pattern with appropriate details and compact rhythm, and successfully created a number of people who have been lifted out of poverty and become rich in a short time.

The drama mainly tells the story of how the villagers in Yongquan village in Xihaigu area get rid of poverty. With the basic timelines of lifting immigrants, counterpart poverty alleviation, industrial poverty alleviation, technical poverty alleviation and education poverty alleviation as sentences, it depicts the major events and simple feelings of poverty alleviation in detail, reducing unnecessary routine links.

In Yongquan Old Village, Jintan New Village and Ning Min New Village, there are no complete bad guys, no emotional entanglements with dog blood, and no magical way to get rich.

The people here are too ordinary.

They have their own worries, their own small abacus, difficulties that they can never handle and doubts about the future. They have their own unique vitality and bright spots. Hard work, simplicity, enthusiasm and tenacity are also their wealth.

The difficulty of starting a business is often accompanied by them.

Ma Defu, a grassroots poverty alleviation cadre, has to deal with one difficulty after another and be caught between villagers and superior leaders. He measured every inch of loess here by bike.

As a woman who was treated unfairly by fate, Li never gave up the pursuit of a better life and created a new life with tenacious spirit.

As a counterpart cadre in Fujian, Chen Jinshan overcame the difficulties of dialect in a strange place and completed the poverty alleviation work that was originally a "political task" as a master.

Ling Yinong, as a senior scientific researcher, temporarily put down the research on sand control and devoted himself to helping villagers grow Agaricus bisporus, even selling it on the market himself;

As a grass-roots teacher, Bai Chongli resolutely does not allow students under the age of 16 to go out to work and safeguard the right to education of every child, especially girls.

This story is not without regret.

Villagers who don't understand poverty alleviation workers and can't correctly understand staged setbacks; Individual officials only care about their own political achievements and engage in formalism in poverty alleviation work; Small profiteers who disrupt the market and speculate ... all exist in real life, which is also a regret that cannot be ignored in this history.

As one blogger said, Ningmin Town is like "One Hundred Years of Solitude" written by people in Xihaigu. To live is to make history. "We often walk in the eternal journey of life, running in bumps, nirvana in setbacks, sadness all over, and pain everywhere. We are tired, but we can't stop; We are bitter, but we can't avoid it. "

As a work of art, Ning Min town storytelling is "both in form and spirit", which is superior in artistic expression and narrative expression. With the magnificent scenery in the northwest and the rough lens language, the audience's eyes are deeply remembered, and the careful arrangement of homework and delicate emotional depiction evoke the collective memory of a generation.

First of all, the reality of this drama is the display of "poverty".

The embarrassment of three brothers wearing a pair of trousers, the real scenery of the family walls, the tyrannical custom that big animals can change wives, and the young people who steal for survival are all people who struggled to survive in that era.

A young man who died in a foreign land can be buried, and the tradition of burial gives the dead the last place to live;

The children who are eager to get out of the mountain village don't know where to go, but only know to run along the railway. Teenagers in the desert and the sun are the embodiment of vitality and hope;

At that time, young people's love was euphemistic and moving, and a gift of oil cake hidden the joy of young people;

At that time, the mistakes were also restrained and sober, and we had to spend the rest of our lives separately if we missed them.

The lines of Pan-Northwest Dialect directly made the audience have a good impression on the play. The gag and mutual help among the villagers showed the true and simple rural features of China, and the collision of Northwest accent and Fujian accent produced the biggest comedy point of the play.

Ma Defu, Li, Ma Debao, Bai Maimiao, Ling Yinong, Bai Chongli ... These ordinary and great laborers, poverty alleviation cadres, and poverty alleviation technical backbones have brought the homes of poor households close to the south of the Yangtze River, and let more viewers feel how great the struggle and entrepreneurship of ordinary people in China are and how great the national poverty alleviation is.

There is no mystery hanging dog's blood, and there is no hatred deliberately selling bitterness. The story of poverty alleviation told in this funny and earthy story is a flower rooted in suffering and facing the future.

The light of women in the cause of mountains and seas

The role and status of female characters are often marginalized in feature films that show state affairs and the trend of the times. They are often single wives and mothers, docile practitioners and powerful assistants.

However, in Ningmin Town, the female characters have a more independent, decisive and tenacious personality while retaining their maternal love and sympathy. They can also show their abilities and shoulder more important responsibilities in the tide of the times. It is really "women hold up half the sky".

Li is the most complete and radiant female character in the play. She used to have two people of the same kind, but she refused her father's arranged marriage and decided to flee the village. Finally, he agreed to get married for fear that his father would be retaliated by the man's family. After marriage, an accident caused her husband's legs to be amputated, and the burden of family fell on her alone.

This play does not advocate unconditionally asking women to accept all suffering. The charm of Huashui is not that she can endure hardships, but that she is open-minded, she realizes the value of women and the next generation, and she is always full of expectations for life.

The actor who plays Li laments that the name is too good: "The difficulties brought by life are like stones hitting you, but how big the stones are forever, how big the splash will be."

In order to pursue a new life, she dragged her disabled husband and young daughter in the desert for seven days and seven nights and finally arrived at her new home.

Her husband sneered at her learning mushroom cultivation techniques and even mentioned Ma Defu and her past. She felt hurt and told her husband without hesitation that there was no need to cling to the past, because she was very sad because of unwarranted suspicion. Since then, there has been no separation between husband and wife, and Hua Shui's personality has also been maintained.

Facing the fact that Mai Miao wants to wait for Debao to come back in her hometown and give up the opportunity to go out to work, Huashui told her that the most important thing is to rely on fate, broaden her horizons and seize the opportunity.

In the long run, she thinks that making quick money is far less important than learning technology.

Her strong goal is also so gentle and firm: "Life must go on and get better. I hope my daughter will study hard and fall in love. Have her own thoughts, freedom. "

Besides Li, Bai Maimiao bravely pursues love and independent career; Yang county magistrate who is down-to-earth and dares to be the first; Wu Yuejuan worked hard for the cause of poverty alleviation with the friendship and true feelings of the Fujian people; Enthusiastic, kind, frank and generous showers ... these female roles are not inferior to male roles, and they prove the power of women with their luminous charm.

The ideal is that mountains and seas are separated, and mountains and seas can also be connected.

The poor and white past, full of yellow sand and strong winds, poverty and ups and downs, has won the love of audiences of all ages;

Actors who are ashamed of beauty have become vivid and lovely workers in the hearts of the audience;

The story of poverty alleviation is full of vitality and hope.

Ningmin Town has made the bitter past a source of hope for the future, and made the achievements of the country and people in getting rid of poverty a concrete and moving epitome, and made an excellent case of "telling the story of China well".

Why did Ningmin Town succeed? Is it the charm of dialect collision? The superb acting skills of the actors? Or do you work hard on background checks and details?

In the final analysis, it is the writer's recognition of the "two roots" of urban and rural areas, working people and working women and "not giving up a backward land and people"

As the title of this film says: This is a painting with both romantic idealism and realistic realism.
