Since 1983

In the first half of the year, the environment was not good, and the Feitian Award was not implemented, and it was perfunctory.

In the second half of the year, the situation stabilized, and the award ceremony became lively again. Have a good time in Hangzhou, without announcing in advance, and present awards on the spot. I heard that there will be a party, oh no, it is called the awarding art conference.

The list of nominations, red carpet shows, guests opening envelopes, and gags like those in later generations are essentially entertaining the awards ceremony and attracting more attention.

Not now, the award ceremony is a very serious matter.

The Golden Eagle Awards have been held for 6 times, and this year is the 7th. Together with the Feitian Awards, they are double awards for television—this is stamped by the government.

Magnolia started in 1986 and is held every two years, but not this year. Moreover, it is international in nature, many foreign TV dramas participate in the competition, and the probability of local dramas winning awards is very small.

So throughout the second half of the year, the most important cultural events in the country are the just-concluded film festival and the Golden Eagle Awards in late October.

The industry and the media have paid close attention to it, and have published many commentary articles, combining with the Golden Eagle Awards to explain the development of TV dramas in recent years and many problems exposed.

The bedroom, just after dinner.

A few plates of leftovers were placed on the table, and no one bothered to clean them up.

Xiao Xu was watching TV on the bed with a hot water bottle in his arms, Xu Fei was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and said casually, "I'm going to Shanghai to shoot commercials in a while, are you going?"

"No."

"Then I have to walk for ten days, and there is a Golden Eagle Award to participate in."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Let me tell you..."

Xu Fei turned his head slightly and saw a small hand resting beside him, so he held it and played with it, "Ten days is an estimate, but I will definitely be back before the end of the month."

Xiao Xu twitched for a while without twitching, pursed his lips and remained silent. She also knew that she couldn't move, but she just twisted.

And he rubbed lightly, suddenly stopped moving, staring at an article.

China Youth Daily, one of the most influential newspapers in the 1980s. Zhang Zhixin and Zhang Haidi were reported by them. It used to be published three times a week, but this year it became a daily publication.

This is a review from the supplement: "Regional Differences in Domestic TV Dramas".

"China has a vast territory and a large population. One side supports the other side, and the cultural customs and preferences of different places have been different since ancient times. Now it includes TV dramas.

Among the east, west, north and south, the difference between north and south is the largest. Northerners don’t like watching Southern operas because they don’t understand them; Southerners don’t like watching Northern operas because they don’t taste right.

This problem also exists in TV dramas. Some dramas are cold when they go to the north, but they are not acclimatized when they go to the south.

How to eliminate this gap?

First of all, I think there are two reasons, language and culture.

In daily life, not to mention the north and the south, even a county or a village has different dialects. The country's promotion of Mandarin in recent years is precisely to solve this problem.

The same goes for TV shows. In fact, it is doing very well now. Basically, Mandarin is spoken on the screen, which is a good help in eliminating regional differences.

As for the deep-seated cultural factors, I think we need to improve our intentions and dig out some social commonalities... Speaking of which, I have to think of this year's Golden Eagle Awards, and there are several TV dramas that are very popular.

For example, "Oriental Hotel" and "Family Spring and Autumn" filmed by Modutai. Although it is based on the local background, it talks about the problems of the whole society.

"Family Spring and Autumn" is a famous work. Although it took place in Rongcheng, it truly reflects that era and exposes the evils of the feudal autocratic system.

"Oriental Hotel" takes place in Shanghai, but it describes the various hardships faced by the young reformer in the face of conservative bureaucratic forces, pointing directly at the fake and ugly in the wave of reform.

In addition, there is "The Last Emperor", which is rigorous and correct, and tells about a special character in that special period.

What the three dramas have in common is that they are all high-minded, transcending geographical constraints, and talking about the commonality between people and society. And the whole story is in Mandarin, so the audience has no pressure.

On the other hand, "Hutong Family", in an environment where the country is vigorously promoting Mandarin, went the other way, and a large number of dialect characters appeared.

Although it is profound in content and focuses on practical issues, the way of expression is not so acceptable. The hero and heroine speak half-literate "Beijing movies + Putonghua", and the performance in the play is also Beijing-style culture.

This is not conducive to eliminating geographical barriers, especially when many young people imitate the lines and accents in the drama, which is regarded as a kind of popularity...Only when Mandarin is popularized and creators pay attention to common issues, TV dramas will be applicable to all audiences... "

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xiao Xu asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Fei handed over the newspaper, she looked at it, and said with a smile: "Good target, good target."

"What a good target?"

"People criticize by name, and you fight back, won't it become popular once you come and go?"

"Hey, I don't think so!"

"Stop pretending, look at your eyes, maybe you are planning this."

"Tsk!"

Xu Fei couldn't help rubbing her face, "Why do you say you are so smart?"

"Let go of me...uh..."

He gave a kiss before letting go, and said: "But it's not easy this time. His article is well written and what he said makes sense. There are indeed geographical defects in Hutong. I have to think about how to spray it, ah, how to discuss it."

…………

The article caused some commotion.

In the past, those who complained about alleys all went to the form of sitcoms, or the content was not profound, and they were slapped in the face as a result. Afterwards, no one said anything about it, but those who couldn't get used to it still couldn't get used to it.

The author of the article may not have malicious intentions, and it is admitted that the content of Hutong is powerful, but from the perspective of Mandarin, dialects, and differences between North and South, it is somewhat novel.

In line with the mainstream concept ah!

You must know that the country has undergone very drastic reforms and thinking in writing and language.

Let's talk about the text first, and only talk about the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In 1964, the state promulgated the "General Table of Simplified Characters", with a total of 2,236 characters, which are the simplified characters that are used today.

, and came up with a "Second Chinese Character Simplification Plan". This is not called a character at all, such as snow, without the prefix rain, only half of it is left.

The egg has become Dan.

Fu and Fu have all become Fu.

After the turmoil ended, Erjian characters were quickly abolished. But the country wants to continue the reform, and some cadres even want to abolish Chinese characters directly and replace them with Latinized pinyin—this is a saying that existed in the Republic of China, and some famous people advocated it.

Fortunately, none of these were successful, otherwise what we wrote today might be radicals or some letters.

Writing and language are integrated, and it was only in 1985 that the country unified its thinking: putonghua should be vigorously promoted; Chinese characters are the official language of the country; Latinized pinyin is only used as a phonetic symbol.

At the same time, the "General Table of Simplified Characters" was republished, with a total of 2235 characters, and only 6 characters in the first edition were adjusted.

Then in 1986, activities to promote Mandarin were rolled out across the country.

Therefore, in such a big environment, the dialect of Hutong is very eye-catching, but I was attracted by its form and content before, and no one has talked about it.
