According to reports, both works are produced by Xinpai Media. The web drama "You Are Beautiful When You Smile" mainly tells the story of a group of young people who work tirelessly for their dreams. On the way, they experienced parents' incomprehension, pressure from the outside world, and team conflicts. And so on, but still relying on my own efforts to turn my career into a belief, and finally realized my glory and dream.
Wei Dangjun, director of the Network Audiovisual Program Management Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television, said on the spot that online dramas with the theme of e-sports cannot simply be video games. The most important thing is to show the spirit of sportsmanship and play a correct leading role for young people.
At the same time, we must focus on the core values of socialism and show the spirit of unity, struggle, and hard work.
"The choice of the theme of e-sports in this play is based on the intersection of scientific thinking and artistic thinking." Zhong Chengxiang, a librarian and art critic of the Central Literature and History Research Library, said at the exchange meeting, "The theme of e-sports involves thousands of households. It is very exploratory to make a series of this theme."
Yang Xia, the chief producer of "You Are Beautiful When Smiling", mentioned that the theme of e-sports was originally chosen because it was not just an industry drama, but also wanted to show the audience through the perspective of the female lead nursery rhyme. Emerging industries and the ecology of the Internet era will discuss the problems and growth in this era.
"When dealing with the content, to a certain extent, the publicity considerations and the psychology of some e-sports fans were ignored, resulting in some deviations in the understanding of the drama and the original intention of the creation of some audiences; at the same time, the professional part was not handled in detail and appeared Some elements are professional and detailed.” Yang Xia said.
Because of the limitation of artistic creation, online dramas did not fully show the demeanor of e-sports players, so Xin Pai Media produced the professional e-sports player observation documentary "Love Our Passion" to explore the behind-the-scenes stories of e-sports players.
Documentary producer and director Wen Jing mentioned at the scene that the film mainly focused on four e-sports-related figures in the four growth stages, and deeply analyzed the development and changes of the e-sports industry and the youthful and upward mental outlook of young e-sports people.
"You are Beautiful When You Smile" has a considerable amount of broadcast on the platform, but there have also been some controversies. Analysis by Wu Manfang, Dean, Professor, and Doctoral Supervisor of the School of Management of Beijing Film Academy, and Deputy Director and Secretary-General of the Double New Committee of the China Television Association The reason for this.
She believes that the series is successful in the choice of story theme, is positive in the transmission of values, and contributes to the elimination of prejudice against e-sports, but the portrayal of e-sports players is not in line with reality. The details of the field are not professional enough.
Based on the reality of online programs, Li Minghao, editor of the director of the awards department of the China Television Arts Committee, analyzed the current problems facing online dramas from three aspects: reality, topic, and business. He believes that there are a lot of problems now. The degree of commercialization of online dramas is higher, perhaps because of efficiency considerations, which saves time for in-depth life and in-depth actual research.
"These may cause some problems in the reality of web dramas. This is what we need to pay more attention to in the future creation process." Li Minghao said.
Huang Liwei, a young teacher at the School of Management of Beijing Film Academy, had previously watched online dramas and documentaries. He felt that this combination of watching was very valuable. "The artistic creation of online dramas can allow viewers to abandon some prejudices against the e-sports industry. They can also have a deeper understanding of the connotation of the e-sports industry, and even reflect the current problems in the e-sports circle, and help solve real problems. These two are very matched and complementary operation methods."
