recently, a seminar on the online drama "past events by the border water" hosted by the china television art committee was held in beijing.
"bianshui past" is loved by the audience for its groundbreaking narrative techniques and shooting style. the drama is an exotic adventure drama that will be broadcast on youku white night theater on august 16. it is produced by cao baoping, directed by suan (real name: mou xincen), written by suan and cui xiaoxue, and starred by guo qilin and wu zhenyu. it tells the story of a young man from china, shen xing (played by guo qilin), who wanders in the fictional world of "sanbianpo" in a survival adventure.
producer mao chuxiao said: "in the story, for the protagonist shen xing, this is an adventure of sticking to kindness; outside the story, for all the creators, this is an adventure of sticking to the intuition of content creation and innovative exploration." "past events by the water" is not a standard crime drama. it chooses the form of unit stories that may not be able to retain the audience, and opens up a sandbox game-style realistic adventure.

zhang lina, vice president and editor-in-chief of youku, said that the reason why this drama has achieved such excellent broadcast results is that it focuses on grasping the core value and reflects that "the night is about to pass and the day is about to come". the content respects the audience's psychology and carefully considers the details of the characters and the rationality of the plot. youku will continue to launch more good works to allow outstanding young directors and actors to show their talents.
the drama has unique content and breakthroughs in subject matter, transcending the concepts and scope of ordinary genre dramas. at the same time, the platform boldly uses young and up-and-coming directors and actors to make innovative explorations. it is these innovations that make the work powerful.
screenwriter cui xiaoxue said that the play mixes elements of suspense, adventure and other genres, creates typical characters in atypical special environments, carries out thinking and expression while telling adventure stories, and conveys the values of truth, goodness and beauty. zhang yuanhuan, general manager and chief producer of youku yitian studio, believes that the play has activated the audience's empathy and resonance through its in-depth exploration of human nature, and has achieved the pursuit of art. through the carefully woven adventure story, it conveys the value concept of "a little bit of kindness can break the dilemma; ordinary people are also very valuable."
the director and screenwriter of the drama revealed that the drama has 7 versions of the story outline, 6 sets of 24-episode scripts and 5 sets of 16-episode scripts, as well as 2 sets of director's scripts for filming, plus various character biographies, a total of 5.13 million words. "that's why the night shen xing left daban was his 513th day in sanbianpo. this is a small detail that was specially arranged."
in other words, "bianshui past" presents a world that you don't know but don't feel is fake. although "sanbianpo" is not an exact place name, it is more like a totem of love, hate and hatred in the slash-and-burn farming, an attempt to represent the chinese people's creation of a worldview, and a way to praise the great motherland without raising arms and shouting.
li chunli, editorial coordinator and senior editor of the literature and art department of guangming daily, said that this drama is an imaginary world, but it is connected to reality. the rivers and lakes in the drama also have the dangers we are experiencing now, and the distorted human nature in the materialistic world we are facing. there are no anti-drug heroes in the drama, only ordinary people who stumble into it by mistake. the protagonist shen xing accidentally got involved in the vortex of interest disputes and survived a life of death. his seemingly happy life was actually licking blood on the tip of a knife. this little person actually achieved a comeback in "sanbianpo", allowing the general public to see the real song of ordinary people.
zhong chengxiang, a member of the central academy of culture and history and a famous literary critic, said that true aesthetic creation is always about actively setting obstacles for oneself and wisely overcoming these obstacles in an aesthetic way. "past events by the border water" transforms all the difficulties of creation into highlights of artistic creation, breaking through the barriers of genres and themes.
