How was the TV series "The Ordinary World" filmed?

I watched this scene on site when it was filmed. I am a local. The filming location was the ancient city of Gaojiabao Town, Shenmu City, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province (then called Shenmu County). The common scenario when Xiaoxia was flooded was to build a pond and build some houses on both sides. But there was nothing behind the door, and then three sprinklers were spraying rain. It's that simple. I was on the sprinkler truck!

In the TV series "The Ordinary World", there is a scene where several days of heavy rain caused a flood. The scene is scary, and the menacing flood is ruthlessly destroying. In fact, before completing the filming of this flood, several vehicles were prepared in advance. A large truck, filled with mud and water, had its rails opened during filming, creating the feeling of a torrent flowing down. Coupled with post-production trimming, a complete and realistic flood effect was achieved

This is a lie We have been at the flood site for many years. Look at the big truck in the photo. It is filled with mud and water. Opening the gate and releasing water will have a flood effect.

I just watched "The Ordinary World" again during the Chinese New Year this year, and I was still very impressed by the part where Tian Xiaoxia died. After my careful analysis, I think the flood has special effects parts and real parts, which can be analyzed based on the pictures.

It started out as a large panorama, with a rainy scene and floods below. Judging from the video, the blurry layer on the surface should be the special effect of rain, and it looks like it is raining. It looks like it, but it looks a little fake. It should be special effects, adding the feeling of rain.

Why are people wet when taking a close-up shot? This is because during the filming, there was water spray equipment on the scene, which sprayed on the actors. The actors were all wet. Coupled with a layer of fog outside, it looked more like a flood scene.

Personally, I think the flood should have occurred after the director team surrounded an area and filled it with water. As a scene, such water is real and we can clearly see it in the video.

Speaking of digression, Tian Xiaoxia was washed away by the flood because she had no strength at the end. The smile she showed before being washed away and the hands she extended made people sigh, what a wonderful youth. When you meet love, you should be like Tian Xiaoxia, and when you are a person, you should be like Sun Shaoping.

The song of the Loess Plateau sounded, and Xiaoxia died.

Mountains can't stop...

Trees can't stop...

Gods can't stop...

People Miss people.

Her last smile was like saying goodbye to Sun Shaoping.

On February 28, in Yulin, the sun showed its face after a few days' rest. The weather was cold and the snow had not disappeared. Guojiagou Village, Mantangchuan Town, Suide County, was silent in a world of snow. However, as the TV series "Ordinary World" became popular, this small mountain village became "popular" due to the filming of the TV series. The contemporary rural historical scenes shown in the TV series aroused heated discussions on the Internet. On February 28, the reporter visited Guojiagou, one of the filming locations of "The Ordinary World", to look for scenes in the play. The village still retains the houses and props from the time of filming.

The filming of the drama has been completed and the scenes are still there

After getting off the 307 National Highway and following a winding dirt road into Guojiagou, the white snow seemed to have covered this quiet mountain village. A layer of carpet, which is very similar to the scene at the beginning of "Ordinary World". This is a very ordinary small village in northern Shaanxi built on the mountains. A three-hole stone bridge connects the village to the outside world, and this bridge is also a scene in the TV series.

After crossing the bridge, you go up the stairs, which are layer upon layer. There are stone paths connecting the courtyards. In the courtyards are cave dwellings of different specifications. Walking a short distance up the slope paved with stone slabs, you can see corn stalks neatly arranged outside the courtyard wall. This is the home of "Sun Yuhou". Entering the courtyard, the cave dwellings, stone mills, stone tables, stoves, and livestock pens are still intact, as if they are still waiting for the owner's return. A hen "guards" the courtyard. Opening the door of the cave, you can see that apart from the lack of furniture, the cave is very tidy. There is also a banner reading "Revolution to the End" on the small window next to the pit head.

After bidding farewell to the home of "Sun Yuhou", we walked down a few paths and found the "Shuangshui Village Primary School". The sign of "School" is no longer there, but the words "Support the Red Army" can still be clearly seen inside and outside the wall. There are many propaganda slogans such as "Join the Red Army", etc. The caves are empty. The basketball stand without the basket is standing there alone, and the table tennis table is covered with a thick layer of snow.

Based on the scenes in the play, many "criticism conferences" were held in the courtyard. From some objects placed in the courtyard, you can still feel the lively scene here.

Next to the "school" is the home of "Sun Yuting". This home is larger than the home of "Sun Yuhou" and has more belongings. Through the damaged window paper, you can vaguely see the worn stools. and a pair of rain boots and other items. There are stone mills, stone mills, stone troughs and other objects preserved in the courtyard. It feels like the owner left home not long ago.

"Guojiagou Village was originally a sketching base, so the scene has not been demolished since the filming of the TV series, and the scene during the filming has been preserved as much as possible." Guojiagou Village, Mantangchuan Town, Suide County Party secretary Guo Wei said that since the filming of "Ordinary World", it has attracted many travel enthusiasts from Shanxi, Yan'an and surrounding cities and counties.

Guo Wei told reporters that there are more than 600 people in Guojiagou Village. During the filming of the TV series "Ordinary World", many villagers worked as extras, so many villagers still pay attention to this TV series. of. On the second day after "The Ordinary World" aired, many villagers gathered together to discuss the plot of the TV series.

Extras born in the 1990s: It feels like time travel

Wang Mengjiao, who was an extra in the filming of "The Ordinary World", was born in 1990. She told reporters that since she was in junior high school She just likes to read Lu Yao's works, especially "The Ordinary World" which left a deep impression on her. She felt that the writing was very kind and had the flavor of the yellow earth. "Later I heard that "The Ordinary World" was going to be filmed in Suide, so I thought about playing a role in it." Wang Mengjiao told reporters with a smile, wearing clothes from the 1970s and adding corn or millet hanging in front of the cave dwelling. , really made her feel like she was back in the 1970s, like she was playing time travel.

"Although there are some jokes about the plot on the Internet, as a participant, I realize that it is not easy to shoot this TV series. We should pay more attention to the characteristics of the times reflected in the TV series." Wang Mengjiao said that she filmed many scenes, but she was not sure whether she could show her face in the play and how many seconds could she appear?

On the morning of February 28, the reporter contacted a staff member who participated in the entire filming. He said that some of the original features of Guojiagou met the shooting requirements, and the crew made certain changes to some scenes according to the plot. "Suide Guojiagou, Hengshandianshi Town Shajiawan Primary School and Shenmu Gaojiabao are all important places for filming the TV series. In order to highlight the characteristics of the times, the crew carefully decorated the scenes." The staff member told Reporter: "Although many citizens online have complained about the TV series and expressed some opinions, if citizens have watched the filming process on the set, they will know that the actors are actually very hard. In order to practice Northern Shaanxi dialect, many The actors have all put in a lot of effort."

Audiences in Northern Shaanxi: Loved and disappointed with the plot

For viewers born in the 1960s and 1970s, the vicissitudes of the play are profound. The history is a reflection of their real life. The land under the scorching sun, hard farm work, limited food stamps and even hard-dried buns can evoke memories engraved deep in their memories.

Li Fan, who loves the original work of "The Ordinary World" very much, originally had great expectations for the TV series "The Ordinary World", hoping that the TV series can allow the new generation of young people to truly experience the simple and difficult life of "The Ordinary World". life, which is of great inspiration to the new generation of young people. "I have read "The Ordinary World" by Mr. Lu Yao four times. The taste of the TV series is very good and even exceeded my expectations. The past that our generation regarded as suffering has actually been imprinted in the body. When I see Sun Yat-sen in the play The various plights of my father and two sons brought back memories and I couldn't help but burst into tears," Li Fan said.

But she was also a little disappointed with the TV series, "Let's not talk about the acting skills, but the actors speak neither like northern Shaanxi dialect nor Mandarin. Some actors still speak Guanzhong dialect, which makes people listen. It sounds nondescript and weird." Li Fan said with a wry smile, saying that she both loves and hates the TV series "The Ordinary World". She feels worried if she doesn't watch it, and feels a little disappointed after watching it.

As of the evening of February 27, although "The Ordinary World" had only aired four episodes, many netizens in northern Shaanxi cited many "failures" in the TV series, such as In the second episode, Sun Yuhou said to Sun Yuting: Why don't you go into the house? Northern Shaanxi said to go back to the kiln instead of entering the house; and in the third episode, Sun Shao'an was born in 1952 and was only 23 years old in 1975. Even the young people in northern Shaanxi would not agree. Sun Shaoan wears a sheep belly handkerchief. On the contrary, the village party secretary Tian Futang, who is in his 60s, wears a hat. Plots such as this have made many readers question that the plot deviates from the original work to a certain extent.

During the interview, the reporter learned that although many netizens complained about the plot, many still said that today's rapidly developing social life has caused many young people to lose their hard-working spirit. It is hoped that the social situation reflected in the TV series "The Ordinary World" can allow a new generation of young people to truly experience the simple and difficult life.

Current Situation: The small mountain village is quietly changing

Slogans and slogans can be seen everywhere in the village. In front of a stage not far from the entrance of the village, several old people are sunbathing in front of the stage. Taiyang chatted and discussed the plot of "The Ordinary World" with each other from time to time. They are all villagers in Guojiagou, and Guo Qingshan, who is in his 60s, is one of them.

When a reporter asked if they had watched the TV series "The Ordinary World", several old people smiled and said they had. Guo Qingshan said: "I have watched it, but the accent of the characters in the drama is not authentic and it sounds a bit awkward." He then added, "However, compared with some messy TV dramas, this kind of movie makes people feel. Because these things happen around us, and we all know some things deeply.”

When asked if they had participated in the filming of this TV series, they all shook their heads. Another villager said: "It's troublesome when extras are asked to do this and that. Participating in the filming only earns 60 yuan a day, so it's very little. Only a few people in the village participated in the filming."

And Regarding the popularity of "Ordinary World", many villagers feel that it has not had a big impact on local life. Guo Qingshan said with a smile: "Nothing has changed. We have filmed more than a dozen TV series here. At the beginning, it felt fresh, but later on, I lost interest. They filmed theirs, and we still live how we should live."

Shuangshui Village is in Shigejie Commune, Yuanxi County, Huangyuan Region, Shaanxi Province. However, Shuangshui Village in the TV series is located in Guojiagou Village in Suide, Shaanxi Province. This is a real-life Shuangshui Village that you can actually visit! The picture shows the small courtyard of Sun Yuhou's family. There are only one cave dwelling where three generations and five people live. On February 26, 2015, the TV series "The Ordinary World" adapted from Mr. Lu Yao's novel of the same name was launched on most domestic TV stations. This once popular literary masterpiece that has influenced countless young people is once again available in another form. Shown in front of the world

It took seven years from the time the TV series "Ordinary World" obtained the copyright to the scheduled launch, with a total investment of 120 million. As a play adapted from the Mao Dun Literature Prize masterpiece, only by perfectly controlling every detail can the charm of the original work be restored to the extreme. A large amount of money and energy was spent on restoring the atmosphere of the era, almost rebuilding the villages and county towns in the play, and even rebuilt a section of railway, built a section of dam, and built a corner of the flooded city.

Isn’t a flood scene very spectacular? A large amount of water gushes out, and the sky is filled with floods. It feels like the end of the world has arrived. Of course, from our point of view, it is still different from film and television dramas. The shots in film and television dramas are all carefully selected to bring them closer to the actors, giving the audience an immersive feeling. Especially the actions of the actors are very realistic.

. Because some "floods" are dumped out by trucks, there is so much water. We can see that in order to film a scene, three trucks of water were hauled and poured out at once. There is indeed a reason for the spectacular scene. It really enriched my knowledge. I didn’t expect that big trucks are also important props in filming.

In "The Ordinary World", the scene where the flood washes away Tian Xiaoxia is a true portrayal of the eternal pain of this small mountain town in southern Shaanxi, and what happened this time is not everyone's fault at all. The kind of natural disaster that cannot be resisted.

The Ankang Flood in 1983 was a major disaster after the liberation of Shaanxi Province. I remember that in 1983, many Ankang victims gathered in Xincheng Square, and there were also many train stations.

But I don’t know how big the floods were that year, let alone have an intuitive feeling. I imagined a flash flood, water rushing down, and low-lying areas being affected.

In "The Ordinary World", Tian Xiaoxia is like an elf, like an angel, her character is kind and strong, her love is sincere and pure... However, such a perfect The woman actually died in a sudden flood, leaving behind the sorrow of love, the pain of family affection, and the readers' regrets.

I still remember the first time I finished reading "The Ordinary World" and saw Tian Xiaoxia sacrificed on the front line of fighting floods. I thought I had a lot of knowledge and I actually shed tears, and they kept flowing, and I shed tears every time I thought about it. , which lasted for about half a month. I complained to Lu Yao in my heart: Isn’t it good to continue the good things? Isn’t the happy ending bad? Does it have to be miserable?

Now that I read it again, I accept this ending, but I just unconsciously ponder the reasons. Do girls like Tian Xiaoxia really exist in reality? A good family background, a good personality, a good study, and a good working ability, well, these can all exist. So, what about her love affair with Sun Shaoping? Is this possible in real life? The answer is impossible. In order to make the novel closer to life and reflect reality, Lu Yao could only let Tian Xiaoxia leave in this tragic way.

So the question is, why can’t the love between a princess and a common boy exist? First of all, it is difficult to be recognized by society. Although it is no longer a matter of being well-matched, love must be equally matched. A common man who marries a princess is given a special term: Phoenix Man. Perfect people do not exist, and perfect love is not common. Perfection can only exist in idol dramas. In real life, things are unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and it is impossible to write a happy ending in the realistic work "The Ordinary World".

Back to the topic, what was covered by that flood? It drowns readers' unrealistic fantasies and makes the novel more convincing.

"The Ordinary World" is produced by China Television Entertainment Investment Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai Theater Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., SMG Shangshi Pictures, China Television Film and Television, Shanghai Yuancun Pictures, Shaanxi Film It is jointly produced by Investment Group, LeTV, Yulin Cultural Tourism and others.

Do you remember the movie "Special Alert 333" at that time? ! It was taken against the backdrop of the severe floods in Sichuan.

It was taken against the background of the Sichuan floods.

Lu Yao's work "The Ordinary World" made us, the younger generation, deeply feel for the first time how huge the flood was. The people of Ankang did not fall in the face of the disaster. With the support of people across the country, the flood was finally defeated.
