The contemporary reality TV series "Happy Grass" about foreign aid is being broadcasted in prime time on CCTV-1. The series focuses on international cooperation in Juncao technology and tells the story of how the Chinese Juncao technology team helped "Happy Grass" take root around the world in a warm and realistic way.
Touching with truth and emotion, the novel theme of "Happy Grass" has won countless fans.
Main-theme TV series have always been an important type of domestic drama. But for a while, audiences had a bad impression of this type of work because of the conceptualization of content, stereotyped creation, and didactic stories. In recent years, with the unremitting efforts of creators, more and more TV series with strength, morality, and warmth have won unanimous praise from audiences of all ages.
On a certain website, ratings can most directly reflect netizens' attitudes towards a work. In the list of domestic TV series, a number of mainstream works are prominently listed. "A Flowing River" broke the curse of sequels of domestic dramas, and three consecutive works have maintained scores above 8 points; the anti-black drama "Kuang Biao" opened low and ended high after its broadcast, ending with 8.5 points and becoming a phenomenal work of the year; "Awakening Age" and "Mountains and Seas" won unanimous praise from netizens, both scoring super high scores of more than 9 points.
It can be said that the reason why these TV series have received such high evaluations is inseparable from their creative attitude of being close to life, focusing on emotions, and paying close attention to details. For example, the poverty alleviation drama "Mountain and Sea Love" strives to restore the reality in scene construction, language use, costumes and props, and even emotional release, creating a three-dimensional and full image of poverty alleviation cadres who are rooted in the grassroots and dedicate their youth; the urban life drama "Police Honor" takes the growth of four trainee police officers as the main line, and humorously tells the bitterness and sweetness of grassroots work. The flesh-and-blood, approachable and sensible police images arouse emotional resonance among the audience.
The TV series "Happy Grass", which is currently being broadcast on CCTV, not only draws on the successful experience of these TV series, but also takes a unique approach in subject matter, focusing on agricultural technology poverty alleviation abroad. It is based on the "Father of Mushroom Grass" Lin Zhanhui, and truly reproduces the hardships and difficulties of foreign aid work. It deeply explores the little-known stories of China's mushroom grass technology in the field of international aid, and shows the tenacity and wisdom of Chinese scientific and technological workers, ushering in a "double harvest" in ratings and word of mouth.
"Happy Grass" has won a solid reputation with its superb acting skills, and the gathering of powerful actors is the quality guarantee.
At present, in the eyes of the majority of viewers, especially young viewers, popular traffic stars cannot be equated with TV ratings. The combination of excellent scripts and powerful actors is the guarantee of the quality of a TV series.
The TV series "Happy Grass" has a luxurious cast, including Guo Tao, Chuo Ni, Zhang Chao, Han Dong, Zheng Hehuizi and other powerful actors. In the play, Guo Tao accurately interprets the persistence and perseverance of the mushroom grass expert Li Changhuan with his actor-level acting skills. Every look and every smile of his is full of love and faith in scientific research, which is moving. The actress Chuo Ni successfully created the image of a daughter who is both independent and eager for fatherly love with her delicate and sincere performance. Her rivalry with Guo Tao is full of tension, which makes people feel satisfied after watching it.
In addition, a number of powerful actors such as Zhang Chao, Han Dong, and Zheng Hehuizi also performed brilliantly in the play, vividly interpreting various roles in the team, such as technical backbones, think tanks, and happy people. It is precisely because of these vivid characters that the plot can be presented in the most perfect state, and a vivid, three-dimensional, and deeply rooted group of characters can be presented to the audience.
Young audiences have become the main force in chasing dramas, and the characters in the dramas bring role models.
In recent years, a large number of mainstream TV dramas have "gone viral". Whether in the barrage and comments on video websites or on various social platforms, young people are increasingly enthusiastic about discussing mainstream works. These TV dramas not only give the post-90s and post-00s the opportunity to further understand the experiences of the characters in the drama, but also subtly change their living habits and ways of thinking, accumulating the power of role models for growth. For example, the popularity of the poverty alleviation drama "Mountains and Seas" not only made the Northwest accent popular among young people, but also set off a craze for growing mushrooms in real life; after the broadcast of the revolutionary historical drama "Awakening Age", T-shirts printed with the cover of "New Youth" magazine suddenly became popular, and many young people began to stay up late to study "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" and pursue red memories in their own way.
In the message area of "Happy Grass", netizens are not stingy with their praise for the drama. Some netizens think that this is a main theme, positive energy, and the annual masterpiece of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of everyone, which really cured their own mental exhaustion. Some netizens also said that the protagonist Li Changhuan's perseverance and self-confidence gave them great encouragement, allowing them to not be afraid to retreat or look back in the face of major life choices, and stick to their original intentions. It can be said that actively substituting into the plot and letting the characters in the play become role models to guide themselves to overcome difficulties and continue to grow is also the gain and growth of many young people after chasing the drama.
As the TV series "Happy Grass" continues to be popular, I believe that the story of this "happy grass" and "rich grass" will be known to more and more audiences, and those technicians fighting on the front line of poverty alleviation will also become role models for more young people, inspiring them to stick to their original aspirations and forge ahead in their future life.
