Detailed description of "human nature"
"Ebola Frontline" is a reality-themed drama with a novel entry point. The background is set in Kabalia. It tells the arduous development of virologist Zheng Shupeng and his Chinese medical aid team to Africa with the Ebola virus. The story of fighting, and finally successfully curbing the spread of the virus and successfully completing the medical aid mission to Africa.
As a medical drama series, the beginning of this drama is full of oppression, and at the same time it uses a lot of reversal and foreshadowing, which is intended to show the tension of the virus.
The beginning of the article uses a joyful party atmosphere as a foreshadowing. The jokes among the medical staff and preparations for birthday celebrations pave the way for the tension of the virus later.
When the first Ebola patient "bed 18" appeared, the patient passed away within a short period of time, and many medical staff were isolated and a sense of tension grew spontaneously.
The environment and the source of the virus faced by the doctors in the play are complicated. The play focuses on the human side and aims to show a three-dimensional and rich group of doctors.
The Chinese doctor Zheng Shupeng brought Chinese sauce to the doctor Laogai of Kabalia, and Lao Gu made tomato scrambled eggs for Zheng Shupeng carefully in accordance with the Chinese taste, which is a manifestation of transnational friendship.
Unfortunately, Lao Gai later became a close contact. Zheng Shupeng's full treatment of Lao Gai and later face of Lao Gai's death with tears was a difficult choice between little love and big love.
Wang Wenqian, a member of the Chinese medical aid team, saw the patient on bed 18 and immediately went forward to support, but unfortunately became one of the close contacts.
When I was in quarantine, I secretly looked at my mobile phone to understand the fatality rate of the virus, crying and asking myself: "Why me?" It is the fear that doctors are both ordinary people.
As the plot progressed, many members of the Chinese medical aid team gave up their lives in order to treat the patients. When Bi Hodong rescued the suspected Ebola patients in the car accident, they gave the patients mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration. In the face of the extremely lethal Ebola virus, Chinese doctors have the kindness and humanitarianism of Chinese doctors.
With the development of the plot, the growth of the characters in the play gradually became clear. Zheng Shupeng changed from single-handedly to team combat, and cooperated with medical team members tacitly.
In the battles with Ebola virus, the resident doctors also feared, but in the end, regardless of the danger, each individual is quietly changing, resonating with the nuanced description of "humanity".
Medical drama needs to look good + reality
In the past two years, more and more domestic medical dramas have entered the public's field of vision, from "Love of Obstetrics and Gynecology", "Heart Technique" and "Final Diagnosis" to "The Lancet", "Surgery Situation" and "Pediatrician", medical drama series Various excavations in form and subject matter have integrated various hospital specialties such as pediatrics, thoracic cavity, emergency department, etc. with elements such as revenge, emotion, doctor-patient relationship, and doctor ethics, but there are few explosions with good reputation and ratings.
In particular, medical dramas that take the route of idolization and youthfulness are even called "emotional dramas dressed in medical dramas", and it is difficult to show the professionalism of medical dramas themselves.
Medical dramas need conflict points, and they need solid script support.
The lack of realism and the difficulty in detailing are the reasons why some medical dramas have been complained by the audience.
Hand washing is not standard before surgery, masks are removed during surgery, doctors wear high heels during working hours... Such medical dramas are full of loopholes in the eyes of the audience.
Before filming, "Ebola Frontline" conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with experts and witnesses in the medical and health field. It has interview records of nearly 10 million words. The crew also visited and consulted various materials of nearly 10 million words. This ensures that the show is based on realistic themes and has a strong realism.
How to balance between "professional" and "good-looking" has always been a difficult point in medical drama creation.
The "Ebola Frontline" broadcast this time also has a female lead, but the show does not provide a routine way to help non-medical staff's internal love affairs. Instead, it uses reporter He Huan's unannounced visit to the diamond smuggling case investigation as a supplementary line to show the audience. The social reality and survival of other countries, with a sense of stimulating suspense, make the medical story set in Kabalia more dramatic.
