Creative interview

Producer Chen Hong: Rural Love in Pingyin

Speaking of why the film "Old and Young in the Rose Garden" was filmed, Chen Hong, a producer in Pingyin County, told this reporter: "Pingyin County is the hometown of roses in China and the origin of the holy medicine Ejiao. Giving full play to our comparative advantages and promoting Pingyin is our original intention of making this TV series. At that time, Jill Zhang Lai, the screenwriter of Country Love, visited Pingyin. He saw a large rose garden and simple local folk customs in Pingyin, and associated it with the romantic and beautiful image of roses. He decided to tailor a TV series for Pingyin. The script was written soon. Formerly known as "a college student came to the village", it was later renamed "roses everywhere". In the post-production process, it was officially named "Young and Old Men in the Rose Garden". "

According to Minister Chen Hong, "The Old and the Young in the Rose Garden" was filmed in Pingyin County for three months, showing Pingyin's rural customs, humanistic environment, natural landscape and specialties in all directions from the theme, title, content and scene. "This is the first TV series filmed in Pingyin. The 10,000-mu rose garden and the unique valley landform in the play will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience. In addition, Pingyin specialty Ejiao, rose pear balls and so on. They are also reflected in the play, and these are the wealth harvested in Pingyin. "

The place names in the play are all real names. Minister Chen Hong said, "This is what we agreed with the founders. The main purpose is to improve Pingyin's visibility and influence outside. It is also a good opportunity and carrier to publicize Pingyin, so we must seize it and make good use of it. After the drama is broadcast on CCTV 8, the audience can not only get a glimpse of the local customs of Pingyin, but also be familiar with the places where the story takes place, such as Rose Garden and Bihaiyang Village. These scenes in reality will also play an important role in creating cultural tourism in Pingyin. "

Minister Chen Hong is very optimistic about this drama, "pingyin rose is the best in the world. I believe that with the popularity of TV dramas, everyone will definitely have a new understanding of pingyin rose and a new understanding of Pingyin. "

Screenwriter Zhang Ji: "Interesting, more meaningful"

The Old and Young in the Rose Garden is another masterpiece of Zhang Ji, a rural comedy screenwriter who is known as "Modern Zhao Shuli". His series of TV dramas such as "Country Love" and "Women's Village" have won CCTV ratings many times. The reason why there is a rural drama "Old and Young in the Rose Garden" is because of a rose. "I saw a particularly beautiful rose garden in Pingyin, and I wanted to write a play about it at that time. In the experience of life, the mountains and waters of Pingyin inspired my creative inspiration. "

The gold medal screenwriter who went out from Shandong has been fixing his eyes on rural land for many years. Speaking of this TV series, he said: "This drama is different from my previous rural works. The story takes place under the background that 100,000 college students in rural areas become village officials. From a special perspective, it humorously tells the story of a returning college student who led the villagers to get rich under the heavy encirclement of nostalgia, affection and secular concepts of his hometown folks. This is the first unique perspective of Return.

As a country drama, Zhang Ji thinks that Men and Women in the Rose Garden and Country Love have different styles. "Rural love tends to be emotional. This drama focuses on entrepreneurship, which is not only interesting but also meaningful, and is expected to cause greater repercussions among the audience."

Director Ke Cheng: "real-name registration system" becomes a "living advertisement"

The director has directed the film "Spring Blossoms", "Running for Village Chief", TV series "Lin Yuan" and "Producer". As a native of Shandong, Ke Cheng has high hopes for his works, hoping that "the works can not only reflect the reality of rural development, but also promote local economic development and enhance local image." Cheng Dao said: "The topic of Men and Women in the Rose Garden is very interesting. In the rose garden symbolizing love, a group of men and women found their place in life in their own way. This choice is positive, beautiful and simple, and it is the exploration and yearning of a new generation of farmers for a better life in the future. "Speaking of the feeling of shooting a TV series in Pingyin, Cheng Dao is full of praise." This is the smoothest TV series I have ever filmed! "

Starring Wu Yunfei: "Li Yuanzheng" is more natural than "Zhao Yutian"

Seeing Wu Yunfei, many people will call him "Zhao Yutian", and Wu Yunfei himself seems to be used to this nickname, but he expressed the hope that the audience would change his name to "Li Yuanzheng" after the broadcast of "Rose Garden". "This time I played the story of a returning college student as a village official. Li Yuanzheng, played by me, broke my parents' hopes, resolutely returned to my hometown for construction, and finally started my career under heavy resistance. "It sounds like Li Yuanzheng is a bit like Xie Yongqiang in Country Love, but Wu Yunfei said that" the form is similar, but the result is different ":"Xie Yongqiang has been in a state of disappointing, but Li Yuanzheng is firm on the road of starting a business, even at the expense of his love. "

This time, he played the leading role in The Rose Garden. He said that he was under great pressure: "Under heavy pressure, my personality has also become cheerful, and I am very happy with the cast members in the group." In his view, "Li Yuanzheng" is more like himself than "Zhao Yutian": "I want to be a down-to-earth person like Li Yuanzheng." Wu Yunfei said that in order to perform more than 700 plays, he recited a long line: "Most of the time, I only sleep two or three hours a day, and I work harder than the college entrance examination."

There is a play in the play.

"Rose" meets "Man"

Looking at the title "Men and Women in the Rose Garden", people can't help wondering. "Rose" symbolizes romance, love and aestheticism, and it is difficult to be associated with masculinity and simplicity of "men and women". When "rose" meets "man", what wonderful story will be interpreted, which is really intriguing.

The title of the play that has caught people's appetite implies that this rural light comedy has a strong local flavor and strong lyrical color. The roses symbolizing love are full of fragrance, intertwined with the sweat of young and old men, showing a beautiful rural picture. Under the pen of screenwriter Zhang Ji, this group of "old and young men" are harvesting the change of ideas and the beginning of a happy life in the process of dealing with "Rose".

"Go out" or "Come back"

The bird flying out of the mountain is the phoenix of the future. This is the expectation and hope of all kind and simple farmers for their children.

In the play, Li Yuanzheng, the son of a farmer, flew to a big city to study with his parents' hope, his fiancee's expectation, his parents' pride and the pride of the whole village. However, after graduating from Li Yuanzheng University, he returned to the mountain village and became a village official. Just as the bird flew back to the Woods, he broke the hope and pride of his parents; Washed away his fiancee's dream of establishing a fashionable family in a big city; Impacted the authority and expectation of the father-in-law; He made the whole village feel strange and incomprehensible.

"Going out" or "coming back", the core of the contradiction in the play reflects the confusion and struggle of college students' employment in the real society. Facing the profound tradition of rural customs, facing the elders and villagers, where will the college student village officials go in the contradiction of rural feelings, affection, love and career? We will find the answer in this play.

"Folks" became "actors"

"Men and Women in the Rose Garden" was filmed in Pingyin County for three months. During the period, more than 30 people were organized to use extras11,and more than 20 shooting sites were used. Bi Haiyang Village, Old Doctor Village, Zhuangling Village, Nanshixia Village and Gezhuang Village in Pingyin Town have all become the place names in the play, and many villagers in these villages have also acted as extras in the filming process, making them addicted to stars.

Not long ago, as soon as the TV promo was announced, many villagers were excited to find their own figure in the camera. "Look, if it isn't Aunt Zhang from the neighbor's house!" "Look, look, this is our yard!" The TV series filmed in front of your house has aroused the strong concern of Pingyin people. Now, the TV series is broadcast, and maybe I can show my face on CCTV.

Brief introduction to the story

Four years ago, in a small mountain village in the north, Li Yuanzheng, the son of a farmer, flew to a big city to study with his parents' hopes, his fiancee's expectations, his parents' pride and the pride of the whole village. Four years later, after graduating from Li Yuanzheng University, he returned to the mountain village and became a village official. When he stood on the land of his hometown, facing the heavy tradition of rural customs, facing his elders and villagers, his knowledge, his qualifications, his identity and the status of village officials were all facing challenges. In the face of the sudden change of love and affection and the complicated working environment, Li Yuanzheng did not flinch. Driven by his superiors, he relied on the men and women in the rose garden, persisted in his own way, skillfully resolved all kinds of interference, and made Xie Zhuang step by step towards prosperity. ...
