Director Mao Weining: It is always a soldier of Sichuan Film and Television

On the evening of September 16th, the TV series "Song of Lushan" was successfully ended in CCTV-1. This TV series is a rare film and television drama work that focuses on the reform of state-owned enterprises and heavy industrial development in recent years.

The play currently scored a 7.8 -point evaluation in Douban. As the main theme of the relatively unpopular theme, this score is quite dazzling. How to make the main melody more attractive to the audience is also a question that the director of the film has been thinking about.

"The magnificent and neat workshop, the sound of roar, the sound of the roar, and the hot labor scene." This is Mao Weining's first impression of the factory.

After receiving the script of "The Song of Lushan", he and the team went into many enterprises to investigate and found that the traditional "industrial machine" had transformed into an intelligent "machine -made machine". Today's industrial, workers and factories show the industrial culture and craftsmanship of this era, and play the song of mixed machine roar and warm fireworks. "Mao Weining said.

Mao Weining has always believed that a concept is that creators cannot use personal experience to judge the needs of the audience, and do not care about the audience in the book. And this is vividly performed in the creation of the TV series "Song of Lushan". "We have used half a year to learn various professional knowledge. What are the principles of the plunger pump, what are the models of the excavator, the arm rack pump truck What is the role. Only when you take the kung fu can you tell the story, see the true chapters, we must create a real and credible, which can withstand the inspection industrial theme drama. "Mao Weining said," I hope to use such a work , Re -evoke the attention of the audience for industry, factories, and workers. "

Industrial theme dramas involve technical and professional content. It is difficult to visualize and is recognized as "hard bones" in the industry. How to pass the professional hard core knowledge to the audience, and then resonate?

"Let TV drama creation return to the drama itself can provide the audience with a texture -viewing experience." Mao Weining said that in the actual shooting, a large number of scenes were carried out in the real -life workshop. On -site radio and recording at the same time were performed after complex post -processing. "Although in the context of the epidemic prevention and control, the shooting of realism theme dramas is facing many difficulties. We still insist on it simple. The sense of life in the play must be retained, and the life scene should be restored."

In recent years, the main theme drama has gradually become the mainstream of the screen. Mao Weining has also directed a number of main melody plays such as "Vow Silent", "The Ordinary World", "Energy and Energy Wu Yan Nian", "Bai Lianchen Steel". "The vitality of good works is unlimited." Mao Weining said that in the past year in "Energy and Energy Wu Yannian", the audience has continuously received spontaneous comment and recommendation. "This makes me feel that young audiences actually do not reject it Or to resist the main theme, the key is how to mobilize the sense of substitution of young people today, so that the audience and the character will produce emotional resonance across time and space. "

Looking back on the road of creation for more than 30 years, Mao Weining not only grew up with the main theme drama, but also had an inextricable bond with Chuantai. At the end of the 1980s, Mao Weining just graduated from college and was assigned to Sichuan Radio and Television as a director. It wasn't until 2015 that he returned to Shanghai to settle in Shanghai with his wife. During the 29 years of working in Chuantai, he has created a number of works such as "The Story of the County Mayor", "Western Traces", "Lonely Heroes", "Vow Silent", "1988", "Dawn quietly here" and "Ten Red Army" and other works.

"Sichuan Radio and Television is the only work unit in my life. Although I have left now, I am still a part of Sichuan Radio and Television." Today, Mao Weining is also active in the field of film and television creation as the President of the Sichuan Film and Television Development Federation. In his opinion, there are many historical celebrities in Sichuan, rich themes of the story, distinctive characteristics of Bashu, and rich film and television education resources. These are the advantages of Sichuan film and television development. And he is always a soldier of Sichuan Film and Television.
