Story: Focus on the lives of ordinary Beijingers
"Beyond the Drum Tower" focuses on the life of ordinary Beijingers, telling the story of the carpenter master Yi Dachuan and his four apprentices inheriting the woodworking craftsmanship and craftsmanship spirit.

Creation: "Outside the Drum Tower" is a very human land
As a Beijing-flavored TV series that authentically shows Beijing stories and Beijing style, "Beyond the Drum Tower" has assembled a gold-medal creative team full of Beijing flavors.
Wang Zhili, the screenwriter of the play, has created a number of high-quality Beijing-style dramas such as "Love Full Courtyard", "Zhengyang Gate", "Little Woman under Zhengyang Gate" and "Silly Spring".
Talking about the original reason for the creation of the play, Yu Zhen said in an interview with the media that he met screenwriter Wang Zhili when he was filming a previous TV series, "Wang Zhili wrote Beijing dramas very well, so I said, you give me a lot of money. Let me write a Beijing drama." Yu Zhen is an actor from Beijing who grew up outside the Drum Tower, and Wang Zhili promised to write a play about the outside of the Drum Tower for Yu Zhen.
The reason why Yu Zhen likes "Outside the Drum Tower" is because he lives in that place every day, and he is all too familiar with every hutong and even every family there.
"Including now that I have a child, I will also take the child back to the small house to stay for a while during the festivals. Those neighbors are still there. I have to call my grandma and my aunt. I think there is really a very humane place there. A piece of land. I mustered up the courage to direct this show, because I am too familiar with the life of that piece.”
