Capitals have left the market one after another, listed comprehensive companies have reduced their film and television business, film and television companies collectively hesitate and wait and see, and the number of startup projects has plummeted. Some people in the industry joked: "Now companies that dare to make big movies are warriors."

　　 However, there is no shortage of warriors in any era.

　　 On November 7th, the modern urban inspirational drama "Ji Dang" about the economic development of Shanghai was launched in Shanghai. This drama is jointly produced by Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Shanghai New Culture Media Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Dongyang New Media Eslite Culture Media Co., Ltd., and Huanrui Century Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 260 million.

　　 When "Ji Dang" was launched, the independent reporter visited the crew and had in-depth exchanges with the main creators.

　　 Shows the great feelings of the times with the history of small people's struggle

　　 dared to start in the "Bitter Winter". The crew of "Ji Dang" is not blind, nor blind. In the exchange with the chief producer Liu Jun, the monolingual reporter not only felt the feelings of a dramatist, but also saw his Sober judgment of the market.

　　 "Ji Dang" is the project that Liu Jun selected in 2015, and it is also the project that he recognized when he moved to the new culture. After nearly 4 years, "Ji Dang" completed the script incubation and preliminary preparations, and finally started. Looking back on the initial project and creation, Liu Jun had mixed feelings: “At that time, big IPs flooded the market, and everyone was not optimistic about this work.” The difficult environment put a lot of pressure on Liu Jun and the project was shelved, but he never gave up. He believes that such a good work will always usher in its spring. Since it is out of date at present, it is better to devote yourself to making the book more solid. Therefore, Liu Jun adjusted the script with the screenwriters and watched market trends at the same time, so as to find opportunities for his works not to be disappointed.

　　 More than three years have passed. Finally, the market bubble has dissipated, the big IP and small fresh meat have failed, and the realistic themes have heated up. The best time to shoot "Sudden" has come. With all his energy, Liu Jun found the best partner and ideal creative team. At this time, the new media Eslite gave this work a great help.

　　 New Media Eslite has rich experience in the production and distribution of film and television works. Over the years, it has produced, distributed or co-published "The Good Wife", "Who Are the Real Heroes", "Bayonet Heroes", "Dear Women", etc. This is an excellent work, especially with rich experience in the production of tribute dramas that reflect the spirit of the times. The emotional drama "Little Women under Zhengyangmen" that he participated in is being broadcast and has a good reputation.

　　 The success of "The Little Woman under Zhengyangmen" has made the new media eslite control of the main melody works more skillful. After that, they also hope to launch a work on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, as a gift to the motherland. Yin Xiangjin, the general manager of New Media Eslite, and Liu Jun have been good friends for many years.

　　 For "Ji Dang", the new media eslite not only invested as a co-producer, but also took the initiative to undertake the production and distribution of the play, and appointed the company’s experienced producer Zhang Jun to operate it, hoping to use its strongest Advantages and the best resources to build this drama.

　　Responsible

　　, Liu Jun sighed: "This journey is not easy!" When the monologue reporter asked why it was so difficult, he talked about the original intention and feelings of doing this show.

　　 Liu Jun has been longing for Shanghai since he was a child. This city, which was given a new life by reform and opening up, has made a long list of national benchmarking and pioneering contributions in many stages and fields, especially in economic development. Shanghai has always been a pioneer and a down-to-earth style, which has become a coordinate of the Chinese economy and even the world economy. At that time, Shanghai was full of attraction for many people. “Being able to work in Shanghai was like being able to go abroad now.” Later, Jun Liu came to Shanghai to work and became a new Shanghainese, fulfilling his childhood dream. The city of Shanghai and the people in this city have a deeper understanding. HeI am sincerely proud and believe that I have an obligation to do something for this city, record and praise its development process.

　　 The script of "Ji Dang" came at the right time.

　　Guo Xiaodong

　　 Liu Jun said frankly: "The "Ji Dang" has two characteristics that are very attractive to me. First, it records the development process of Shanghai after the reform and opening up in a panoramic manner; second, it cuts into characters and praises the self-improvement spirit of Shanghai people. And the changes in the living conditions of the characters confirm the policy changes and the development of the times. Very positive and upward."

　　 Obviously, "Ji Dang" did not deliberately emphasize the various stages of change, but focused the story on the life course of ordinary people. This overlapped with the development course of Shanghai after the reform and opening up. The Lu family was pushed by the waves of the times. After leaving, they firmly grasped every opportunity that policy changes brought to economic development. Starting from collecting waste products, they went through many twists and turns, and became leaders in the business world step by step.

　　 This is a group of the most ordinary people. Their success is given by the times. While they are accomplished by the times, they also do their best to contribute to the development of the times. This mutual achievement is the embodiment of the Chinese dream. The essential connotation of the Chinese Dream is to realize the prosperity of the country, the revitalization of the nation, and the happiness of the people. In the final analysis, the Chinese dream is the dialectical unity of individual dreams and group dreams.

　　 And this play also pointed out that on the way to realize the Chinese dream, while people improve their material level, they must also improve their spiritual literacy. This kind of improvement is actually a return to traditional moral standards and people. An atmosphere of harmonious coexistence with others.

　　 Li Nian

　　 Liu Jun said that good works should reflect the profound insight of the creators of the changes of the times, as well as the positive guidance and responsibility of public opinion. "Life may have some unsatisfactory places, but if we all sing the good and promote the good, there will be fewer and fewer bad things." This spirit has been carried forward and passed on in the play, and he hopes more Through the screen, the spirit can enter the audience's heart silently.

　　 Screenwriters' Golden Triangle Code

　　 This drama is a kind of feeling for Liu Jun, a dream of his childhood, and for the three screenwriters, it is also a dream that fulfilled them.

　　 Fan Shengzhen, Wang Bin, and Chen Jianzhong met in the Literary Federation training class. Although they didn't get along for a long time, the three like-minded people formed a deep friendship and agreed to take care of the elderly together after retirement. They have always hoped to be able to create the script together. The idea of ​​this cooperation was put into action by Wang Bin in 2013. He found the other two to develop the outline together.

　　Tao Zeru

　　 Wang Bin is a financial reporter. In this creation, he hopes to give full play to his strengths, cut into the financial perspective, and show the changes in Shanghai. Many years of interview experience of financial reporters have provided him with a lot of fresh material for his creation. Many of the experiences of the characters in the play are adapted from the interview cases of many business leaders.

　　 Wang Bin said frankly: "Successful people are not as glamorous as we have seen. They are all grown up by small people step by step. On the road to success, they have also experienced confusion and detours."

　　 times has given people full freedom and individuality. When people are liberated from long-term shackles, it is often difficult to grasp the measure, especially the people in the shopping malls, in the pursuit of success, it is inevitable to be radical and make mistakes.

　　 integrated these characteristics. In order to pursue success, he also lost and made mistakes, but in the end he corrected himself on the road to success and completed his own transformation. "Many successful entrepreneurs will choose to give back to the society in the end, because in the end money is only a number for them. In addition to money, they will think more about their contribution to society." This is what Wang Bin hopes to do in the business war section. It is also the core of the play.

　　 screenwriter Fan Shengzhen is very good at the creation of the main melody works. Before that, he participated in the creation of two works reflecting the reform and opening up, "The Loess High Sky" and "Facing the Sea". The former is currently being broadcast on CCTV's prime time, and the latter is about to be released on CCTV . In the creation of "Agitated", he integrates the protagonist's business war experience into the changes of the times and broadens the perspective of the script.

　　 are both works that reflect the reform and opening up, in the creation of "Ji Dang", Fan Shengzhen has done a different treatment from the other two works. The first two works are relatively macroTherefore, in this play, he deliberately "sees the big from the small", from the protagonist Lu Jiangtao to show the changes of the times, with the growth and changes of the characters to reflect the impact of reform and opening up on the people.

　　 Chen Jianzhong, a screenwriter who is good at emotions, went deep into the family relationship and their love lines of the brothers and sisters. In this play, the emotional part is very sincere and touching. It truly and delicately reproduces the most simple feelings between people in the 60s and 70s, especially the affection part. The three brothers and sisters of the Lu family are in a special situation. They have different fathers and some different mothers, which is a bit similar to the situation in "A Family Has Children", but they are dependent on each other no matter what the situation, they always hold each other tightly. Lu Jiangtao finally returned after being lost because of family affection. This emotion is just like the movie "My Brothers and Sisters" said, "We were originally snowflakes that fell from the sky, and when they fell on the ground, they became ice, and turned into water. We can't separate them anymore!"

　　 Talking about this collaboration, the three of them were very excited. "The screenwriter may be able to write many kinds of dramas, but there is definitely only one kind of drama that can be written best. Together, we will gather what each one is best at and bring it into full play. Extreme."

　　 makes the entire creation more complete. After more than three years of polishing, the content of the work has become richer and more ambitious.

　　 Weight loss due to heavy responsibilities, Li Nian gains weight, the actors of "Jumping" are broken for weight

　　 A good work is naturally inseparable from the blessing of an excellent creative team. In addition to the golden triangle partners of the above three screenwriters, the other creators of the show should not be underestimated.

　　In the list of the main creators of this drama, the general director Yu Ding is very eye-catching. With rich experience, he has directed the TV series "Red Plum Blossom", "Gongs and Drums Alley", and "A Generation of Heroes". "Moreover, it includes a double harvest of word of mouth and ratings. "Ji Dang" is also based on character struggle and commercial background. It is similar in type to "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", so it is most suitable to be directed by him.

　　Zhang Doudou

　　 Lu Jiangtao was unanimously affirmed by the producers and screenwriters. His liveliness, aura and aggressiveness are very similar to Lu Jiangtao. The three screenwriters said that when communicating with Ren Zhong, Suddenly he overlapped with Lu Jiangtao.

　　 is very large. In order to get closer to the role, to perform Lu Jiangtao’s young state, Ren Zhong has been losing weight before starting the machine. At the starting ceremony, he said that he would lose another ten catties if he was not fat. .

　　On the contrary to Ren Zhong, Li Nian, who plays the female lead Hot Spring, is gaining weight. Similarly, her role is also played from her teens. The difference is that young boys in their twenties and twenties always look a little thin, while teenage girls are somewhat fatter. Li Nian, who is small in size, wants to be more She looks like she can only gain weight. In the later stage, when she was in her twenties, she started to lose weight again.

　　 Li Tingzhe

　　, taking advantage of the gap before filming, Li Nian rushed to eat. "My previous roles were relatively close and simple. In the past two years, I hope to shoot more scenes with age spans and greater room for character growth." Li Nian said.

　　 Recently, in the variety show "Romantic Journey of Wife", the audience recognized the real Guo Xiaodong, who has a traditional, practical and kind personality, which is exactly the same as the character of the big brother Lu Haibo in the play. It is true that a good actor can give a character his own character, but a suitable character trait makes the actor's performance more effective. Guo Xiaodong said frankly because of his trust in the director Yu Ding, and the second reason for connecting with this drama is that he was infected by the turmoil of the story.

　　 Like Guo Xiaodong, Che Xiao, who played the second-generation official Lin Xia in the play, also came to the crew because he looked forward to cooperating with director Yu Ding. For the role of Lin Xia, Che Xiao likes it very much, because "her front and back contrast is very strong, and there is a lot of room for growth. It is very interesting to play a role from youthful to mature."
