what drama are you watching during the national day holiday? the school-running story of zhang guimei, winner of the "july 1st medal", "model of the times" and principal of huaping girls' high school in lijiang, yunnan province, has touched countless people. unexpectedly, a tv series based on her experience, "when the mountain flowers bloom", opened with a score of 9.0 and soared to 9.3 during this holiday. when the score reached 9.2, some netizens said, "there is a hot old man (father) in the house who never watches tv. when i watch the house, i cry and laugh, and my nose is soaked with snot. it is worth 9.2." high score.”
why 9.3 points?
previously, when the tv series "mountain flowers blooming" was coming to an end on cctv, one of the actions of the lead actor song jia at the closing seminar made this popular series a hot search. song jia said on the spot that she would personally donate 1 million yuan to huaping county, and the money she donated would be used specifically for short-term construction projects in education, sports, women and children and other public infrastructure in huaping county, lijiang city, yunnan province. at the same time, the crew of "when the mountain flowers are blooming" will also donate 6 million yuan to huaping county. these two donations are very much like the plot of "when the mountain flowers are blooming" brought to life, and they also further bring the story of huaping female high school student zhang guimei to the public.
why is a tv series with a main theme so popular among viewers during the national day holiday? in the play, zhang guimei rescues gu yu (played by lan xiya) who is forced to marry by her father. teachers and fellow villagers escort the girls over the mountains and ridges in the rain to reach the school. zhang guimei asks for help everywhere, and the students collectively chant the oath, "i was born into a mountain, not a mountain." stream, i want to look down at the mediocre ravines from the top of the mountains. i was born to be a hero, not a mediocre person. i stand on the shoulders of great men and look down on humble cowards!" this moved many viewers.
the story meanders and grips the audience. zhang guimei is facing a female student who is preparing to give birth to four children, and her life is trapped by the mountains: nearby is a pregnant woman with a baby and busy working, and in the distance are layers of mountains. female students like gu yu who have excellent grades but cannot go to school are supported by families that favor sons over daughters. women are regarded as reproductive tools. they face the theory that studying is useless, and they also face mothers who cannot let go of domestic violence for a long time... in addition to material poverty, zhang guimei needs to change the ideological "poverty" and spiritual "difficulty" in the mountains.
many scenes really happened, and the true stories are the most touching. director fei zhenxiang said in an interview that when he went to the local area for home interviews, he felt that the process of setting up a girls' school was not easy for teacher zhang, but if the emotions were overplayed during creation, everyone would think it was fake. the story can be established by filming what she did, so there is no need to deliberately sensationalize it. "she is not a god, but a human being. i just need to photograph the human being well."
whether the character zhang guimei is realistic or not determines to a certain extent whether the drama will stand up or not. from the movie version portrayed by hai qing to the tv series version played by song jia, with the efforts of the actors to go deep into life, zhang guimei's image on the screen gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
it is difficult to run a free high school for girls in impoverished mountainous areas, but how difficult is it? from fundraising, land approval, recruitment, enrollment to studying for the college entrance examination, every step is like upgrading and fighting monsters step by step. in this process, principal zhang guimei is not a "god". she can do things well and is also funny. she is a bit paranoid, a bit naughty and a "ruthless person". she is unique and vivid and has become the "big heroine" that everyone loves to watch. as screenwriter yuan zhunzi said, "teacher zhang guimei is not regarded as a victim, martyr, or saint, but as a very cool actor."
some viewers left a message saying that when watching the drama, people often have the illusion of watching a documentary. song jia's acting skills are very natural, her walking posture is a bit inconvenient for her legs and feet, her rapid-fire, clear enunciation and logical speaking style, especially her spirit, temperament and charm that will not flinch no matter what difficulties she encounters. they all have the charm of teacher zhang guimei. specifically, "there is no trace of myself at all, not to mention makeup and hair, etc., the lines are really good, and the spicy and refreshing way when speaking is like pouring beans, it is really authentic. no matter what. the way she walks, the way she speaks, and even the occasional pause when she pushes her glasses and the shift of her gaze make people feel that zhang guimei, played by song jia, really matches the charm of teacher zhang himself when giving a report in the auditorium. the willingness to eat and drink with businessmen to ask for money, the freedom to eat and drink with director chen's family, the stubbornness to go deep into the mountains to snatch female students like digging potatoes, the students are left alone after the college entrance examination the sadness when being alone in the dark, the seriousness and competition when trying to solve various problems of the school and students, all make people see a more three-dimensional and multi-faceted teacher zhang.”
how to break the "god-making"?
what new direction has the expression of the main theme found through this play? when exploiting the "rich mine" of zhang guimei's deeds, "when the mountain flowers are blooming" did not fall into the trap of "making a god", but cleverly balanced artistry and authenticity, not only visualizing a lively and amiable ran deng principal zhang guimei also reflected the real current situation of rural education and caused the audience to think. "my only dream in life is to create a free high school for girls... an educated woman can block the intergenerational transmission of poverty and change the destiny of three generations." zhang guimei hopes that by building a free high school girls' high school can interrupt the intergenerational transmission of poverty and improve the fate of more people. "mountain flowers bloom" vividly shows the audience the difficult process of running a school at lijiang huaping girls' high school. it also concretely presents knowledge to the audience to change their destiny and culture to get rid of poverty, arousing the audience's attention and deep thinking about education in mountainous areas. it supplements the lack of educational works in the film and television drama market in recent years. it is also a new exploration of innovative expressions of theme-themed dramas, and is a special gift to educators.
