Behind the scenes production

Creative backgroundThe film director Zhang Yimou, chief director Ning Hao and chief planner Zhang Yibai found several key words in the process of discussing the story of each unit: change, space and little people. Thousands of families have changed because of the overall well-off and targeted poverty alleviation, and this change covers the whole geographical space of China, so we set the story in five geographical spaces of China, East, West, North and south, to present the story of the little people. Five groups of Directors receive tasks respectively: Yan Fei and Peng Damo, as representatives of northeast comedy, naturally choose to create stories in Shenyang, Liaoning Province; As a Shanghainese, Xu Zheng went to Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou to take pictures; As a native of Xi'an, Yu Baimei returned to northern Shaanxi with her partner Deng Chao; Only Chen Sicheng, a northeasterner, volunteered to go to southwest Guizhou. Ning Hao continued the technique of telling the little people in Beijing in "me and my motherland". Ge you played "Zhang Beijing" again, and didn't even change his hat.

The story of "good people in Beijing" comes from the experience of an elder relative of Ning Hao's hometown who came to Beijing to see a doctor. Ning Hao's relatives didn't know what kind of illness they were at the beginning. They were especially afraid. First, they were worried that the illness would be very serious. Second, they were afraid that they couldn't pay for the operation. Ning Hao advised her, do not worry, first surgery, money can help solve the problem. After that, Ning Hao found that the two were originally equal relatives, pure family, because of the money problem, it became very strange. After the operation, Ning Hao's relative's daughter said that the rural medical insurance card can be reimbursed, and the operation cost of tens of thousands of yuan can basically cover more than 80%. At this time, Ning Hao obviously felt that the relative was relieved and "felt that she had returned to the position of an elder.". This event touched Ning Hao a lot. I didn't expect that rural medical insurance could reach this level. It was really a hard job for the government. I wanted to tell a little story from this angle. In order to meet the setting of comedy, I made a design of identity exchange and took other people's medical insurance card to see a doctor.

shooting process

In May 2020, the film will be officially launched.

The behind the scenes documentary program adopts the form of "behind the scenes + interview + scene". Through capturing the details of the film shooting, it restores the story hidden behind the film and expresses the important significance of hometown to people.

Many of the highlights of "good people in Beijing" take place in hospitals. The shooting was at the time of the most serious epidemic situation in Beijing, and the hospitals in Beijing were also very nervous. They decided to take a shooting place the first day, but they were not allowed to go in the next day because the hospital had detected the confirmed cases, so they had no choice but to take a scene. At this time, the art team was worried, because there were only two days. Except for the scene of blood drawing, all the scenes of other hospitals had to be set up. Ning Hao took advantage of these two days to shoot other scenes. Finally, the art team tried to build a hospital scene. Because of the limited time, several spaces in the hospital were actually transformed by changing scenes back and forth in one place. One scene is multi-purpose. In shooting, Ning Hao can only cooperate with photography, "can't shake, a shake to wear help.". There is a big stall play in the film. Zhang Beijing sings Beijing opera to teach his cousin to liberate his nature. This is a big scene for about 200 people. But because of the epidemic situation in Beijing, the crew did not dare to find group performances, and they could not find them. They could only find people who had undergone nucleic acid testing, because if an accident really happened, they had to find all the people present. Ning Hao's bad monkey company's employees and directors have done nucleic acid testing, and Ning Hao began to call on the scene to invite people. Many directors of the bad monkey company, including Lu Yang, the director of the "xiuchundao" series, and the company's producers all came to do group performances. The play was filmed in a stall in the south of Beijing and was completed in one night.

Film evaluation

"Me and my hometown" depicts a picture of a well-off life, eulogizes the achievements of poverty alleviation, and is a literary and artistic work with both ideological and artistic characteristics. It has achieved a win-win situation in public praise and box office, and achieved both social and economic benefits. The success of the film brings many inspirations to the creation of the main melody: first, patriotism is always the main melody of the film creation; second, the people are the eternal driving force of the film creation; third, the film can win the audience's resonance and empathy only by constantly innovating the artistic expression from the small to the large (people's daily).

"My hometown and I" is smaller than "my motherland and I" in 2019, but the same expression is grounded. As soon as ge you, Deng Chao, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang and Lei Jiayin, the "happy comedians" appear, the audience will not worry about not laughing“ The double acting performed by Zhang Beijing and his second uncle, the big head of Lei Jiayin and the "Internet Delay" between Shen Teng and Mary filled the cinema with a happy atmosphere. There is joy in the film, and more touching. Just because there are smiles and tears, we don't even feel the "main melody" color of this film. Such a grand theme does not make the audience in the cinema feel a bit boring. This is not only due to the expression of the main art, but also reflects the confidence of Chinese culture. The expression of the film is no longer raw and rigid (Guangming Daily review).

"Me and my hometown" is not really a big movie structure. It consists of five stories with elements of "I" and "Hometown". The five stories are homesickness and a journey back home. On the surface, they are light comedies that make people laugh, while on the deep, they are white "lies" that are motivated by various motives. They create conflicts and laugh points for each story unit, but make the audience's tears flow out between the laughter, which constitutes the moving and cheering faces of the audience during the festival. The creators of the film are keen to capture the audience's preferences. Instead of creating in the air, they are down-to-earth in reflecting a series of social and livelihood issues. Although it is like a "jigsaw puzzle" movie, the overall emotional flow is smooth. The tears and laughter it brings to the audience are the true reflection of the development of the times, and also the bone and flesh of the film. To this end, the film has stood in every "I" position, Let every individual have aftertaste and thinking after his view of individuality (review of Jiangxi Daily).

Most of the stories in "me and my hometown" are designed to be a bit "rustic". On the surface, it seems that things are not so "big". Ge You's Zhang Beijing, Huang Bo's farmer inventor, Fan Wei's rural teacher, Deng Chao's small entrepreneur and Shen Teng's grass-roots cadres are ordinary people. However, the country and the family have never been separated, and the country and the family in my motherland and my hometown and I have never been separated. However, my hometown and I pay more attention to the subtle warmth, the subtle warmth is also the righteousness of the country. The five unit stories of the film have their own characteristics. Under the theme of comedy, there are elements such as "science fiction, love, action, detective" and so on. One film brings multiple surprises to meet the needs of the whole people. In the National Day Mid Autumn Festival, such a comedy form is very appropriate. Hometown is an eternal theme. With the theme of hometown, the film carries many themes, such as medical treatment, education, poverty alleviation, supporting education, grass-roots cadres, etc., which are closely related to hometown and blend with each other (Qilu Evening News Review).
