Huang Xuan, who plays the male host Ma Defu, said that his mood is a bit complicated: "It's like saying goodbye to a period of life and a group of familiar and unfamiliar people."
Rayza, who plays the heroine Li Shuihua, also sent a message to say goodbye to herself: "I also want to thank Shuihua, who made me feel optimistic and tenacious. I tried to face life problems with a smile, and my life was really better with a smile. Look at Shuihua!"
NI YAN, who plays Yang Shuji, is also very involved in the play: "Suining has a deep affection for the future chapter and crosses the mountains and seas to go to the United States for a good future!"
Huang Jue, who plays Ling Yinong, also posted a red certificate: "Everything belongs to Professor Lin Zhanyi (role prototype)!"
It is not an exaggeration to say that Minning Town is the most watched TV series at the beginning of this year. At the beginning, it scored 9. 1 minute in Douban, which was 0. 1 minute higher than that in Big Rivers 2. It was broadcast for 10 days, and the score rose to 9.4 points all the way. "Actors in Minning Town grew out of the soil" and "Rayza"
There are no gorgeous costumes or heroes and heroines in Minning Town. It tells the story of how immigrants in Xihaigu, Ningxia, with the help of national policies, worked hard step by step to build a new home and turn the "dry beach" with flying sand and stones into a "golden beach" in the 1990s.
As soon as you listen to the poverty alleviation drama, you may not expect it to be watched too much, but the fact is that countless netizens and viewers spontaneously recommended it after the broadcast.
It didn't sing praises blindly, and it didn't shout slogans in vain. Instead, it clearly showed hardship, poverty, ignorance, desolation, change and struggle.
The opening 10 minute of the first episode made the audience laugh, and also showed the helplessness in poverty: a strong man was lying in bed in broad daylight, because the three brothers in the family only had one pair of pants, and whoever had something to go out to wear; Seeing the village cadres visiting their homes, the villagers even said that they were blessed, because they had just arrived in a batch of pearl breeders to help the poor, and they all killed and ate only one. "You must taste the taste of guinea fowl" ...
In the play, there are fathers who sell their daughters for a donkey, and daughters who walk hundreds of miles for a new life. There are old farmers who don't want to struggle at all because they are too poor and too bitter, and there are new young people who work hard for a new life.
Minning Town, the mountain refers to Ningxia, and the sea refers to Fujian, which is assisted by counterparts. The creative proposition is the "Min-Ning model" under the cooperation of East and West, but it not only expounds the development process of a region, but also focuses on amplifying the story of "people".
Ma Defu, the male host played by Huang Xuan, has no "golden finger", but leads the villagers to overcome one difficulty after another step by step.
Huang Xuan once asked the director, is there really such a selfless and dedicated person as Ma Defu in reality? The answer he got was that "Ma Defu" did exist, and the story in the play was indeed a true story that happened to many grassroots cadres.
There are also the only teacher in the village, President Bai, Professor Ling who has spent more than ten years in the Gobi Desert doing research on fungus and grass, Chen Jinshan county magistrate who came all the way from Fujian to support poverty alleviation, and later became the director of women's affairs ... Everyone in the play is vivid and lovely. On 1 1 month 16, 2020, all the Xihaigu areas "took off their hats" and bid farewell to absolute poverty historically. In reality, the local people, grassroots poverty alleviation cadres, Fujian helping cadres, experts and people from all walks of life who are struggling to get rid of poverty are ordinary but remarkable protagonists.
If you think that the 23 episodes are too short to enjoy, after watching the Mandarin version of Zhejiang Satellite TV, it is recommended that you go to Youku, Iqiyi and Tencent to watch the dialect version full of "homesickness" again, which is another taste.
Minning Town's story began 30 years ago: 199 1 Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region carried out the policy of "resettlement by hanging villages" in order to help the people in poverty-stricken areas in Xihaigu to get rid of poverty, and moved some people from the mountains to the plains near Yinchuan to open up wasteland and build new homes.
But it is not easy for poor villagers to move out, because in everyone's opinion, the mountains are poor, but at least there are tiles to cover their heads. But when they move out, everything has to be started from scratch, not to mention that the place to be moved is still a vast Gobi, with no water or electricity, and there are endless sandstorms all year round.
The hardships of poverty alleviation can be imagined, and the story of Minning Town begins.
I have a friend named Xiaolong, who likes watching Japanese dramas and Kung Fu dramas on weekdays, but recently I can't stop chasing Minning Town. I asked him why a handsome young man born after 1990 was fascinated by this local poverty alleviation drama. He said, in fact, there is only one reason: true!
Many details and characters have real prototypes.
Minning Town's original play was called "Min Ning Town" and it was renamed as Minning Town, which is meaningful. Many stories in the play have prototypes.
Suining Town is real, located in Yongning County, Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and now it is "on the south of the Yangtze River", with green trees around the village, cows, fat fruits and fragrant flowers. However, in the 1990s, it was still a vast Gobi, with no water or electricity. "There is a wind every year, from spring to winter, with strong winds of 369 and small winds every day."
The Xihaigu area in Ningxia was known as the "bitter world" in those days.
1996, the central government decided that Fujian would help Ningxia. 1July, 1997 15, "Min Ning Village", which became the settlement of Xihaigu, broke ground on a Gobi.
In Focus Interview, Xie Xingchang, secretary of the Party branch of Funing Village, Suining Town, described the conditions at that time: "At that time, there was nothing, no tree, no house, just a particularly large desert beach, dry beach, nothing."
Many details and characters in the play also have prototypes.
In the play, it is true to exchange a daughter for a cellar for a big animal; It is true that in winter, the only remaining thatch on the hill was dug to fill the kang for heating. It's true that a family has only one pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears them; It is true that a family dragged all their belongings for seven days and seven nights to reach Yuquanying, and all their belongings were pickaxes, laundry baskets and some rations ...
In the play, Yao Chen plays the role of Wu Yuejuan, director of the Fujian-Ningxia Office. In reality, the former director of the Fujian-Ningxia Office was named Lin Yuechan.
In the play, Huang Jue plays Ling Yinong, an expert of fungus and grass who helped Ningxia in Fujian. In reality,1April, 1997, Lin Zhanyi, the "father of fungus grass in the world", went to Ningxia to help. At first, he took six boxes of fungus grass to Pengyang County, Ningxia for investigation and planted mushrooms in caves. Later, he established fungus grass technology poverty alleviation bases in Min Ning Village and Pengyang County, and set up training courses to teach villagers how to grow mushrooms.
In the play, there is a backlog of mushrooms, so Professor Ling can only go to the market and get the order himself. In reality, Lin Zhanyi stubbornly signed an agreement to underwrite mushrooms with technology, but it was because of Lin Yuechan's words: "You are experts. If you don't underwrite mushrooms, farmers will have no confidence, so it will be impossible to help the poor with mushroom technology."
The plot captures an immersive experience.
It is simple to say that life is getting better and better, but how difficult is it to do it? Minning Town took pictures of all the bitter tears.
For example, at the beginning of the eighth episode, everyone was afraid to invest in greenhouses. At first, they were finally persuaded to build greenhouses, but they had to face the dilemma of sales. In order to pay back the loan for tractor and mushroom shed, Shuiwang insisted on leaving home to work in Fujian. Li Dayou, who had both family and money, burned the mushroom shed in a rage.
Professor Ling, a technical expert from Fujian, was originally obsessed with scientific research and had no enthusiasm for promoting technology to develop the economy. He took the lead in selling and went to all parts of the country to talk about supply cooperation. However, even if the cooperation is negotiated, the long-distance transportation costs remain high, and the profits cannot meet expectations. Finally, the government came forward to solve the transportation cost problem.
Helping the poor is really not easy to do, as one audience summed it up: "Sometimes, people's vision is not long enough; Sometimes, it is the superficial achievements of cadres; Sometimes, the ability of individuals who are willing but unable to do so is small ... At that time, people trapped in the land were afraid to rush because of the limitation of knowledge, and outsiders did not know how to help because they did not understand here. "
When Huang Xuan was interviewed later, he couldn't help but sigh that his role was too difficult and it was too difficult to help the poor: "From the first day he took office, he was always in trouble and always solved problems for others. Ma Defu's' difficulty' was like hitting a hamster. Just solved one, and the next one emerged, which was still not understood."
However, it is such a plot that makes people feel * * *. Minning Town filmed all these difficulties without hiding them, so that the audience could see their plight and understand their behavior, so they were anxious for them, and they couldn't wait to get into the TV set and go into battle in person.
Some viewers said that this drama has produced an immersive experience: "Do you feel that this drama has a strong sense of substitution and you feel that you are a member of their village?" Many netizens simply call themselves "spiritual villagers" in Yongquan village in the play.
Some people almost watch an episode and cry an episode.
A netizen named "Xiaoma" on Douban said that his hometown is in Gansu 108 rural area. Since he was a child, he has been faced with familiar loess and yellow sand all over the sky. His greatest wish is to stay away from his hometown. Because of his personal experience, he knows how great the people who are willing to stay and pay for poverty alleviation in his hometown are: "My hometown has been working hard to develop, and the no-man's land that passes along the way is not so desolate, and deserts and mountains are greener than before."
Actors are like potatoes dug out of the soil.
Xiaolong said that he originally wanted to watch the play because Huang Xuan with a "Meng Qiqi hairstyle" on the poster made him feel very interesting, so he went to see two episodes. Unexpectedly, he was fascinated at first sight, and the actors were "like potatoes dug out of the soil".
Huang Xuan, Zhang Jiayi, NI YAN, Rayza, Huang Yao, Guo Jingfei and Zufeng, as well as Yao Chen, Wang Kai and White ... At first glance, you really don't recognize them, and all of them are totally embarassed by the sandstorm in the northwest.
Qing Gui's son in legend of miyue, the unruly poet in The Legend of the Demon Cat, and Huang Xuan, a young man of literature and art who has always been gentle in the camera, made his debut in this drama, wearing a jarhead, his skin was rough, his cheeks were covered with two lumps of plateau red, and he was wearing an old cloth bag and a pair of gray-blue cloth pants.
When Zhang Jiayi's horse shouted for water and appeared with a beard in his mouth, there was no sign of the successful man "Song Siming" in Dwelling House, and the collar of his clothes was so old that it had burrs.
When Rayza, wrapped in a pink scarf, dressed in red and wearing sleeves, appeared, many people didn't recognize her as the "Ning Guiren" in Empresses in the Palace.
In addition to the appearance, the main creative language has also spent a lot of effort. You can see from the dialect version that the actors are authentic northwest flavor when they speak. Due to the vast territory of northwest China, there are many dialects, and there is even a saying that "ten miles have different sounds". The main creator refers to dialects in Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places and mixes up the "Pan-Northwest Dialect" in the play.
Guo Jingfei, who plays the role of Fujian poverty alleviation cadre, not only imitates the Minnan accent vividly, but also drinks "Kung Fu Tea" in a proper position.
Minning Town can become the most watched TV series in the opening year of 20021,probably because the drama is real enough from the camera to the lines, from the details to the emotions, from the pictures to the characters, which makes people laugh, laugh and cry.
