"

Take root in the real world of ordinary people and build emotional bridges that resonate widely

The consistent creative principles of the "I am in another country" series are: pay attention to the growth and life of ordinary people under the background of the times, do not avoid the vulgarity of reality, do not question the beauty of human nature, and do not give up the struggle and hope of life.

From the creation of the character group image, the "I am in another country" series does not pursue visual comfort, flawless character setting and character growth, but projects the perspective to the "situation" moment in the lives of ordinary people, creating a protagonist without a "halo of the protagonist".

We hope that through some of their stories to express the more general human feelings of the world, larger and smaller stories. "hometown, safe and sound" we tried to make a live drama with such a creative attitude and way. It is not easy to live in a foreign land, and hometown is not a paradise to live in. Lying flat and inner volume cannot cover the mentality of the current youth. We believe that the self-consistency of brave people is one of our original intentions in shaping characters and creating plays. "

Convey the voice of youth, grasp the mood of the times and Matt culture to create fine quality accompanying dramas

In the results of the seventh national census, there is a remarkable figure: the population separated from households in China has reached 490 million, of which the floating population has reached 375 million. This also means that one out of every four people in China is a "stranger". From the vicissitudes of the times, Matt culture accurately locates the two completely different life situations of "foreign land" and "hometown", and takes the life and inner world of hundreds of young people as samples to write companion dramas that best understand the current youth. The TV series "I'm fine in another country" on July 19, 2021 focuses on the stories of four women living in the present, working in a foreign land, crawling and looking into the distance. Once broadcast, it aroused the sympathy of tens of millions of viewers and became the highest-rated Chinese TV series in 2021. It was selected as the "2021 Chinese TV series" recommended by the State Administration of Radio, Television and Television, with a total network broadcast of nearly 1.2 billion.

Screenwriter Sun Qicheng, a script consultant for "I'm fine in my hometown," captures the solitary light and details of creation from the youth mood of "the present."I'm fine in my hometown" is a look back on my wandering life. "my hometown, safe and sound" is a prospect of future life, intertwined with the present, ordinary, ordinary, and everyday. Ordinary is that every protagonist is you, me and him in the crowd; ordinary is in line with the trajectory of ordinary people's life; daily is our attention and display of some details of real life. "

Director Peng Chen condensed his feelings of wandering in a foreign land for many years. He said: "many people of my generation are very direct about the pull between their hometown and their hometown, but maybe this is not an either-or, contradictory choice." If the filming of "safe and sound hometown" has any inspiration for me, perhaps the way to gain peace of mind is to be more tolerant of myself and allow myself to see more possibilities in life. " The screenwriter Yao Changning expressed his respect for the variety of choices in life: "for most people, hometown represents feelings that are hard to give up, while other places represent the reality of settling down." Therefore, we are willing to respect everyone who is far away from home and everyone who stays or returns to their hometown. As long as they live up to their choices, everyone deserves to be seen and recognized. "

Let the hometown break away from the single evaluation system, let the young people accept the ordinary self when they return home, this is the greatest significance of the hometown. "

Qu Mengjia, a representative of the youth theory study group and a third-level director of the TV drama department, further explained the mood of the youth from the youth. "hometown, safe and sound" is not a simple pursuit of "fleeing the north and going to Guangzhou" after a setback, but that everyone has a different motivation to return home. As a whole, the play presents the spiritual core of not rolling in, not lying flat, getting rid of the air-conditioning and going upward. In the play, the perspective of family relationships, work challenges, and the relationship between dreams and reality presents another kind of light and a variety of choices for the confused young people today. "

Li Xuan, representative of the Youth Theory study Group and editor of the editorial Department of the China Television Arts Commission, discussed from the life thinking of "four or two dialing thousands of pounds" implied in the episode: "hometown, safe and sound" tells the story of his hometown and other places in a seemingly relaxed and lively tone, but does not evade heavy and realistic life topics. The emotion of hometown is not only the recurrence of youth memories, but also the running-in with parents, the confusion in the face of parents' illness, and the passion of career struggle. The thousands of landscapes of the real world, the heavy vicissitudes of life, and the duties and missions of the times can all be reflected through such a play. "
