The two words "CCTV" have always been representative of high-quality domestic dramas.

can only say that this year, there are business war dramas such as "Flowers", family dramas such as "My Altay", costume dramas such as "Qing Yu Nian 2", and urban dramas such as "The Story of Rose". No matter which one is recognized, it is a hit. .

But if you don’t see many of these familiar styles, you will inevitably want to change your taste.

So CCTV took action again and produced a reality-themed drama - "When the Mountain Flowers Are Blooming" .

This drama is so impressive that even Xinwen Network spent a full 21 seconds to praise it.

And it did not live up to this ranking. only aired two episodes, and the peak ratings exceeded 1.7. Its popularity should not be underestimated.

This drama is adapted from the deeds of Zhang Guimei, and the previous movie "I Am a Mountain" caused some controversy, so the audience of this drama can't help but be a little worried.

But after watching these two episodes, I just want to say that this drama is definitely the biggest dark horse this year.

01 Plot: Real and touching, it beats the movie version

"When Mountain Flowers Are Blooming" tells the story of Zhang Guimei (played by Song Jia) who established Huaping Girls' High School with the help of all walks of life. Together with other grassroots party members, she took root in the education cause in impoverished mountainous areas and helped Girls in the mountains change their destiny.

The audience must be familiar with this story, but there are two major highlights in the plot that still firmly locked my eyes.

First, it is difficult to build a school and recruit students, and there are problems everywhere.

There is no roundabout foreshadowing in this drama. It opens with the 14-year-old girl Gu Yu (played by Lan Xiya) guarding her drunken father and young and ignorant younger brother at home to feed pigs. For 30,000 yuan, she has to spend 30,000 yuan on herself. Get married.

"What's the use of finishing the third grade of junior high school? You still have to work and get married. There are so many girls in this village, and everyone is the same."

In the face of ignorant concepts and poor conditions, education is the solution to the dilemma. Best way out.

Therefore, Zhang Guimei’s idea of ​​setting up a free female high school is even more urgent.

But the question arises again, who will provide the funds and where will the school be built?

While Zhang Guimei was discussing with the county magistrate and education director, she was also doing everything herself by publishing newspapers, looking at land, watching construction, and going to job fairs.

The play shows the living conditions of girls in the mountains. It also describes in detail the entire process of establishing a female high school, allowing us to see the hardships involved.

Second, it is difficult but not miserable, and the plot is warm and joyful.

Although this drama is a realistic theme, things are hard to come by and characters suffer misfortunes. The plot does not deliberately emphasize the suffering they have endured, but incorporates a lot of warm plots and comedy.

In the play, Zhang Guimei is outspoken and hot-tempered. She knocks on the door at Director Zhou Shanqun’s house in the middle of the night, looks unhappy when her classes are temporarily rescheduled by the principal, and makes a “critical comment” on Deputy County Magistrate Ma’s work level. These scenes seem quite entertaining.

Especially in the play, Zhang Guimei bravely rides an electric bicycle and plunges into a firewood pile twice in a row. This is also a famous scene in the play.

On the premise of not affecting the main plot and ensuring the realism of the plot, this drama adds such comedic scenes, which serve as a spice to the slightly heavy subject matter.

It can be said that the adaptation of this drama is quite successful. It not only presents Zhang Guimei's true deeds as completely and comprehensively as possible, but also increases the visibility of the plot through reasonable adaptation.

This is the adaptation that the audience can truly see in their hearts.

02Actors: Fit the role and have outstanding acting skills

The casting of this drama should have thrown a difficult problem for the creative team at the beginning, but judging from the effect of the feature film, each role was cast appropriately.

First of all, Song Jia.

Song Jia has always had a wide range of roles, and she can play any type of role. The characters Zhou Rong who dares to love and hate in "The World" and the rational policewoman Ran Dongdong in "Echo" are all very vivid in her interpretation.

In this drama, Song Jia's acting skills allow the audience to see what it means to be truly both spiritual and physical.

Song Jia has little resemblance to the teacher Zhang Guimei she will play, but after she cut her hair short and removed her makeup to enter the role, her performance completely eliminated all sense of dissonance.

Zhang Guimei in the play is full of energy. She talks about her dreams with a determined expression, but the eyes of the children who look at her are full of pity. Just by looking at this look, you can tell that she has captured the people who love education and are willing to contribute. psychology.

Especially in the scene where she speaks at a meeting, she tells those tragic stories. The initial tension is replaced by sadness, helplessness, and pain, and she suppresses her emotions to prevent tears from flowing down.

When talking about her dream, she said: "I want them to have the same opportunity to sit down and study as boys, to read and see the world. I want them to go out of the mountains and see how high the sky is and how broad the earth is. "

Although there were still tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but smile when she talked about her good wishes.

What Song Jia performed was not only Zhang Guimei's nervousness when speaking, but also her inner unwillingness and her hopes for the future.

She is the perfect choice for this role.

is second, Nie Yuan .

Nie Yuan is definitely a steady and capable actor.

In this drama, Zhou Shanqun, played by Nie Yuan, almost didn’t recognize him when he appeared on the stage.

He had messy hair and leaned against the door frame when he opened the door. His eyes were narrowed to a slit, and there was no trace of performance in his sleepy appearance.

As for grassroots cadres like Zhou Shanqun who deal with the masses on a daily basis, even if they look a little serious, they are also very down-to-earth in communication, and they are not lacking in patience and affinity.

This character was portrayed vividly by Nie Yuan.

ranked third, Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao, who has acted in classic sitcoms such as "The Story of the Cooking Class" and "Wulin Gaiden", also assumes a lot of comedy in this drama.

In the play, Ma Yongqiang looked moved and made an impassioned promise at the dinner table.

As soon as the camera turned, he started scratching his head when he returned to the office, his face full of annoyance.

Jiang Chao performed this role so vividly and realistically.

In addition, Guo Tao also played a guest role as Deputy Secretary Liu in the play. His solemn words and slightly serious look are completely consistent with the status of a leader.

And Zhang Yue, who played Lin Youyou in "Thirty Only", also appeared in the play. She played Ding Xiaoxiao, a female high school teacher, but it was probably before going to school. She was dressed exquisitely and high-spirited.

There are also actors such as Huang Miyi , Cao Xiwen , Lan Xiya . The actors who play each role are very suitable, and their outstanding performances add to the plot.

03 Conclusion

The most touching thing about "When the Mountain Flowers Bloom" is that it is true.

First, the plot is true. It is adapted from the deeds of real characters and is a story that is solidly grown out of reality. The plot restores the real experience to the greatest extent and shows more aspects of this experience.

The second is to interpret the truth. Acting is not enough for the characters in the play. It is necessary to truly enter the inner world of the characters, so that the characters rooted in the heart can present the most authentic state from the inside out.

This drama relies on such sincere feelings and stories to enter the hearts of the audience.

hopes that this drama can inspire more and more sincere works to appear in front of the audience.
