Produced by Qingdao Dongtang Film and Television Technology Co., Ltd. and jointly produced by the Qingdao Municipal Government Emergency Office and Qingdao Municipal Public Security and Fire Bureau, the 28-episode emergency TV series "Youth Hostel" "It premiered nationwide on Qingdao Film and Television Channel on July 21. After the broadcast, it received an enthusiastic response and received praise. Therefore, we specially conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Jiangang, the chief planner of "Youth Hostel", Li Jutao, the producer and director, and Zheng Hongxing, the chief screenwriter.
Chief planner Zhang Jiangang? Exploring innovative ways of emergency publicity
Reporter: As far as I know, "Youth Hostel" is the first emergency-themed urban light comedy in China. Why did you think of using it in the form of a TV series? Spread emergency knowledge? Or what is your original intention in doing this?
Zhang Jiangang: For emergency work, there are two main aspects of work. On the one hand, we should deal with emergencies scientifically and effectively so that we can respond to emergencies; on the other hand, we must be prepared for emergencies to avoid or reduce the occurrence of emergencies so that we can respond to emergencies. "No emergency" is the highest state of emergency work. At present, various emergencies occur frequently. However, according to statistics, when an emergency occurs, 80% of people do not know how to correctly rescue themselves and each other. Once a disaster occurs, not knowing how to respond will often be fatal. Our original intention of making this drama is to let more people enhance their emergency awareness and know how to save themselves and each other. In the face of emergencies, the government has the responsibilities and obligations of the government, grassroots units have the responsibilities and obligations of the grassroots units, and individuals also have personal responsibilities and obligations. In emergencies, self-rescue and mutual rescue are often the first step, and then rescue. Therefore, it is very critical to improve the emergency awareness and skills of the whole society and is an important part of emergency work. During our work, we found that ordinary people are not very receptive to boring emergency knowledge. However, "Youth Hostel" is based on the basic positioning of "good looks, knowledge, and public welfare" and combines fire protection, traffic safety, earthquakes, fraud prevention, outdoor rescue, and family Emergency and disaster prevention and reduction knowledge such as emergency response, food safety, public health and so on are embedded in it, which can effectively realize education and entertainment. This drama is also an important part of the construction of emergency safety culture in our city, and is conducive to creating a strong atmosphere in which the whole society pays attention to, learns about, and participates in emergencies. Of course, emergency science education is only part of the work. There is still a lot of work to be done to realize that there is no emergency. In the next step, we will focus on improving the scientific level of emergency response and standardization of emergency preparedness, and strengthen the construction of emergency capabilities in all aspects.
Reporter: You just mentioned "emergency culture". What is your definition of emergency culture? What is your understanding?
Zhang Jiangang: Emergency culture refers to emergencies in a certain area. The interaction with emergency management is comprehensively reflected in ideology and behavioral rules, which dominates the thinking and behavior of governments, social organizations and the public. Developed countries such as the United States and Japan attach great importance to the construction of emergency culture, but there are still certain deficiencies in the popularization of emergency culture in our country. The Qingdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to the construction of emergency culture. However, promoting emergency culture in traditional ways is somewhat boring. Therefore, we have been looking for a novel and popular way to promote emergency culture. Innovative emergency publicity is an important means to shape emergency culture. At present, we have carried out a series of emergency cultural innovation explorations through key event-driven, all-media publicity, cultural quality innovation, and social force participation, etc., and have achieved good results. The concept of "Learning to Respond" has gradually become popular among the people. When we make "Youth Hostel", we strive to use this drama to disseminate emergency concepts and emergency knowledge to a wider range, so that more people can enhance their awareness of self-rescue and mutual rescue through watching the drama, so that we can try to avoid emergencies when they occur. Or reduce the number of casualties by up to. Currently, "Youth Hostel" is being broadcast on Qingdao TV Station 3. Judging from the feedback from all aspects, the effect is very good and it has won widespread praise. Our original intention and efforts have been well rewarded.
Reporter: Why did you choose to cooperate with Dongtang? What is the cooperation model?
Zhang Jiangang: "Youth Hostel" is based on government guidance, corporate investment, market operation, and social benefit. Photographed in pattern planning. Previously, we invited Mr. Huang Bo, an actor from Qingdao, as the spokesman for Qingdao's emergency safety culture, to shoot a public service video on fire safety and traffic safety. The effect was very good, the shooting and production level was very high, and it received a great response after it was broadcast on CCTV. good. These public welfare films were produced by Dongtang Film and Television Technology Company, which shows the company's film and television production standards. Later, when the idea of ??filming an emergency TV series came up, the two parties had relatively similar opinions on the idea during the negotiation process.
Because there is a basis for cooperation, the later work will be smoother. Judging from the current situation, the cooperation is still very successful. As a company, Dongtang is committed to emergency public welfare and deserves encouragement. We hope that more social forces will participate in emergency response and contribute to improving the emergency safety and security level of the whole society.
Producer and director Li Jutao? The pace of charity will not stop
Reporter: What kind of drama is "Youth Hostel"?
Li Jutao: It is An urban light comedy, it is also a public welfare drama full of positive energy. It is a functional drama implanted with emergency cultural concepts and emergency knowledge. It not only allows the audience to have fun and entertainment, but also allows the audience to learn some emergency knowledge. So he is a bit different, with a sense of innovation and a strong sense of social responsibility running through it. Now this drama has been broadcast on Qingdao Channel and will be broadcast in other cities across the country. Judging from the current audience response, it is still very popular. The inspiration for us is that the audience does not only like ghost fighting dramas, but the audience’s tastes are diverse. We should create more works with different styles and tastes to meet the diverse needs of the audience.
Reporter: I noticed that there are many comedy celebrities in "Youth Hostel", including Liu Yajin, Xu Shaoxiong, Shao Feng and other comedy celebrities, as well as many young actors. How were you selected? /p>
Li Jutao: Sun Tao, Shao Feng, and Liu Yajin are all regular guests of the Spring Festival Gala. The reason why we chose so many comedy celebrities to star in "Youth Hostel" is because we want to create a relaxed comedy atmosphere and highlight the lightness of the show. The positioning of comedy. And they are all comedy stars that are loved and well-known by the audience, and are easily accepted by the audience. Playing with young actors can better mobilize the emotions of the performance. Of course, some actors are not comedians, and the fit between the actor and the character is an important reason. For example, Koji Yano plays a "Japanese professional" in the play. The character's experience is so similar to his. It can be said that this role was tailor-made for him, so it is easy for him to understand this role.
Thoughts after watching the Youth Hostel TV series
Young actors like Shen Hao, Gong Haibin, Zhao Yuanyuan, Zhang Shengyue, Jin Shan, etc., although they are not well-known at present, they have shaped the The characters are very heartfelt. We considered a lot when casting, taking into account various factors such as character, appearance, behavior, etc., and finally decided on the current actors. For example, why were Li Jinming and Zhao Yuanyuan chosen to play Feifei and Tang Xiaowei? We know that these two characters in the play are actually the same person, but Tang Xiaowei is the image after plastic surgery. When selecting actors, we have to consider two points: First, the image must be different. Because it would be unreasonable if the wheat field is too similar to be played by an actor and the wheat field cannot be recognized. Second, there must be similarities. We first chose Zhao Yuanyuan to play Tang Xiaowei. Later, we found that Li Jinming's face shape, especially the dimples, was very similar to Zhao Yuanyuan. The position and depth of the dimples were the same, so we decided that the actor who played Feifei must be Li Jinming. After many twists and turns, Li Jinming was able to adjust the schedule. Looking at it now, the effect is not bad. It can be said that although the actors used in "Youth Hostel" are not domestic first-line stars, they are all suitable for this drama.
Reporter: There are many Qingdao elements in "Youth Hostel". Could you please introduce the filming and production?
Li Jutao: "Youth Hostel" is a Qingdao-based film with local investment and local shooting. It is normal and our initiative to pursue Qingdao elements in local post-production TV series. We also hope to promote Qingdao through film and television works. The location shooting was all done in the most beautiful places in Qingdao, and Qingdao’s Eight Great Passes were also promoted through language and plot. In addition, most of the plot was shot in the 2,000-square-meter studio in Dongtang Film and Television Creative Park. For example, the street in front of the youth hostel in the play is a scene built in a shed. However, it has undergone post-production special effects processing to change some buildings from one floor to two floors, and close up modern high-rise buildings in the distance. In one picture It reflects the old city and new city of Qingdao. Of course, you can't find this place in Qingdao.
Reporter: What impressed you deeply during the filming process?
Li Jutao: Actually, there are many details that impressed me deeply. Let me tell you one thing. There is a scene in the play where the Xiaoxiao Hotel is on fire. The Xiaoxiao Hotel is to be burned down. In order to ensure authenticity, and on the basis of making good preparations for protection, we broke the rule prohibiting lighting fires in the shed. It was really stressful when we were filming, because if the studio caught fire, the consequences would be disastrous. As a result, during the filming, the actor Ding Yi, who played Mei Xiaoxiao, was pushed away by Shao Feng and slipped on the kerosene on the ground. Because everyone focused on the fire issue and didn't pay attention, she didn't say a word and insisted on finishing her role. She did it again. After the performance, she couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't even drive the car. , and finally went to the hospital for a checkup and found that he had a mild concussion. We were particularly touched that she was back on set after just a few days off.
There is also a fire-fighting drill scene where Vanilla sprays dry powder on Staff Officer Lei’s face. Normally, it would be okay to spray a fire extinguisher in an open space, but after spraying a can of fire extinguisher in a studio, the dry powder is floating everywhere and cannot be dispersed for a long time. Because the effect was not satisfactory, I asked for another can of spray. As you can imagine, after spraying, I had to call it a day because I couldn't work in the studio, and I still felt sorry for the camera.
Reporter: Is it really dry powder that was sprayed on Shao Feng’s face?
Li Jutao: Of course not. We have to protect the actors. It was actually powder sprayed on his face, but the audience wouldn’t know it. discovered.
Reporter: Do you have any regrets during the creation of "Youth Hostel"?
Li Jutao: Because "Youth Hostel" is the first emergency-themed light comedy in China, and there has never been one before. As a precedent, we have explored and overcome many difficulties in combining public welfare, knowledge and visibility. In this case, it is impossible to make a big investment. In terms of plot extension and story promotion, I think it is not good enough. However, in terms of public welfare and the construction of film and television culture, as a private film and television company, we have contributed our own strength and are worthy of the government's expectations and the support from all walks of life. Generally speaking, we can say that we handed in a qualified answer sheet.
Reporter: Can you tell us about Dongtang’s subsequent plans?
Li Jutao: Dongtang’s business includes three aspects. The first is the commercial imaging business, which provides commercial imaging and integration for all walks of life. Communication and marketing services. The second is the production service business, which provides venues, equipment, studio rental and other services to young film crews. The third is film and television drama investment business. Dong Tang is currently planning multiple movies and TV series, including online movies, and several will be launched within the year. Among them, a TV series cooperating with the Supreme People's Court Film and Television Center is in intensive preparation. We hope to have more works available to the audience.
Chief screenwriter Zheng Hongxing? Really creates value
Reporter: What is the creative process of "Youth Hostel"?
Zheng Hongxing: In October 2013, Director Zhang Jiangang of the Qingdao Municipal Government’s Emergency Office proposed the idea of ??integrating emergency knowledge into TV dramas to create a “public welfare TV drama”. We were moved by Director Zhang’s enthusiasm for emergency work and his persistence in promoting emergency culture. We hit it off immediately and decided to make such an unprecedented TV series. So, in November 2013, we began on-site research and collection work before script creation. Our creative staff in Dongtang, together with the leaders of the emergency office, went to the fire brigade, public security bureau, Blue Sky Rescue Team, grassroots communities, etc. to experience and communicate first-hand, and feel the hard work and importance of emergency work. They accumulated a lot of material and laid a solid foundation for script creation. Base. Before the Spring Festival of 2014, we started planning the script intensively, and then we kept coming up with ideas and then rejecting them. I remember that I wrote fifteen or six drafts of the first episode. By June, the script had basically taken shape. We conducted our own evaluation and felt that the desired effect had not been achieved, so we made a painful decision to overturn everything and start over.
For the next month starting from June 9th, our planning team has been brainstorming in the conference room and revised the story over and over again. After more than 30 days of hard work, we finally felt satisfied and finalized the script. . On September 10th, "Youth Hostel" started shooting at Dongtang Film and Television Creative Park. After nearly three months of arduous filming, "Youth Hostel" was completed on December 1, 2014. Then, we started intense post-production. After repeated revisions, we finally presented the 28-episode TV series "Youth Hostel" that we see now. At the same time, we also produced an online version of "Funny Men and Women", which was available for paid on-demand viewing on iQiyi. It was online in just over ten days and had nearly 20 million clicks. It can be said to be relatively successful.
Reporter: What do you think is the most difficult thing in the creative process?
Zheng Hongxing: The most difficult thing should be the ingenious combination of knowledge points and stories. Just making up a story is not difficult, but it is very difficult to consider the implantation of knowledge points and public welfare dissemination while making up the story, because it cannot be too blunt. At the beginning, we wanted to create it in the form of a sitcom, because the scenes of the sitcom are relatively simple and can reduce investment, but this would leave a lot of narratives about emergency knowledge that could not be developed, so we created it in the form of a TV series, with indoor and outdoor scenes. combine. In addition, we make choices about possible stories and only choose segments that can carry knowledge points. In doing so, we face many limitations. It can be said that we are dancing with shackles. This is the difficulty of creation, and of course it is also the point of innovation. It seems today that the original efforts have bore fruit.
Reporter: I saw that many of the plots in "Youth Hostel" are very close to the lives of ordinary people and have a sense of reality.
Zheng Hongxing: Yes, art comes from life. In fact, many of the plots are real things that really happened to me. Regardless of the joys and sorrows of firefighters, the worries of ordinary people, or the dreams of young people to start their own businesses, they all come from our true feelings. Just like there is a character in the play, Uncle Sun. Because his son Dazhu is not at home all year round, he keeps a dog and names it "Er Zhu", which means that Er Zhu will accompany him instead of his son. The prototype of this character is actually a retired employee in our community. When he first named the dog, I thought it was very interesting and very typical. There is also Professor Zhang who is afraid of sudden death while living alone. It is also because people around me have had this experience, so I added these stories into my creation. So on the one hand, "Youth Hostel" is spreading public welfare and popularizing emergency knowledge. On the other hand, it also contains thoughts about human nature and social hot spots.
Reporter: Will Dongtang continue to create such public welfare TV series in the future?
Zheng Hongxing: From a company perspective, it is natural to pursue commercial value, but through " With the creation of "Youth Hostel", we feel a different meaning. This kind of contribution to public welfare is worthwhile and will bring us a different kind of happiness. In the future, we will still pay attention to the creation of public welfare themes, promote the core socialist values ????and spread positive energy in our works.
