Beijing, June 6 (Reporter Gao Kai) With the hot rescue scene, the daily life full of fireworks, and the love story far from the routine, the TV series "Illuminate You" focuses the camera on the firefighters, trying to show the audience the three-dimensional appearance of this heroic group with a new narrative.
"Illuminate You" was launched a few days ago, the story began ten years ago firefighter Jin Shichuan (played by Chen Weiting) rescued the girl Xu Lai (played by Zhang Ruonan) during an earthquake rescue mission, in order to appease the other party should make a "ten-year contract", ten years later, the two "as promised" to each other, at the same time, through the extension of a variety of character relationships, shaping the youth growth group portrait of firefighters.
To show the daily life of firefighters, various rescue scenes have become the top priority, and in "Illuminate You", from fires, earthquakes, to chicken shed collapses, complex and diverse rescue scenes can be realistically reproduced. For this reason, the main creator has invested a lot of energy, such as the rescue scene involving a serial car accident in the play, how 13 cars need to collide, how 30 cars need to swing the car array, the crew has carried out many deductions in advance, and then combined with expert advice for shooting.
According to reports, "Illuminate You" was reviewed and approved by the National Fire Rescue Bureau, and the Guangdong Provincial Fire Rescue Corps and the Shenzhen Fire Rescue Detachment guided and assisted in the shooting. In the process of shooting on the spot, there are instructors or squad leaders of the fire station to guide how to operate professional rescue equipment, and there will also be real firefighters involved. The play also refers to the real fire station, and builds the firefighter's dormitory, washroom, conference room, activity room, entertainment room, etc. in the shed one by one.
It is these scenes that strive for the real spread, so that the protagonist group has obtained a thick and real character ecology in the play.
"Illuminate You" fully shows the retrograde rescue of firefighters who are not afraid of hardships, and at the same time, it also strives to "de-deify" firefighters. In the play, these fire heroes are no longer perfect tough guy images, they also have difficult self-growth, rich and delicate family affection, friendship and love.
In order to bring the characters closer to life, "Illuminate You" has new presentation in terms of narrative content and method. In the selection of incidents, in addition to large disaster rescue, some small cases of social assistance, such as going to a residential building to pick a hornet's nest, catching chickens for the farmhouse owner and other scenes are vividly presented, reflecting the down-to-earth side of the firefighter's work. In addition, the play also focuses on the daily life of firefighters outside of their tasks, they have their own favorite people and things, friction and tenderness with their families, and their own vulnerable side.
In addition to the emergency rescue scenes, "Illuminate You" chooses the narrative method of light comedy, from the love story line of the male and female protagonists to the daily interaction between firefighters, and the relaxed and down-to-earth depiction makes the characters more multifaceted and very affinity.
Talking about the role shaping this time, Chen Weiting once bluntly said that he had dreams of being a firefighter since he was a child. This shooting, entered the fire station Shenzhen Daya Bay Special Service Brigade for training. Through getting along with firefighters, he found that firefighters are very cute and innocent in private, such as finding on (Douyin) that they will dance to coax children (the fire open day in the play is derived from this for children). During the filming, Chen Weiting said that he could especially experience the family-like feelings between firefighters.
As the initial "light source" of "Illuminate You", Jin Shichuan has a strong sense of mission and responsibility, and has very warm and sincere feelings for work, lovers, team members and search and rescue dogs, at the same time, the fire chief also has his own inner weak side, which also makes this character make the audience have a deep sense of substitution.
"I was fortunate to be illuminated back then, and I hope that I can become a light to illuminate others", "Illuminate You" revolves around the ten-year contract between firefighter Jin Shichuan and journalist Xu Lai, if this "light" was originally the "light of hope" that Jin Shichuan saved Xu Lai ten years ago, then ten years later, this "light" is also Xu Lai's "warm light" to heal Jin Shichuan.
As the heroine, Xu Lai's personality is quite innovative, she is determined and positive about love, and she is tough and enthusiastic about her career. In the relationship with Jin Shichuan, Xu Lai has always been the active party, and the uninterrupted "straight ball" she sent out not only collided with Jin Shichuan, who was estranged and cold due to inner concerns, but also completed the healing of the male protagonist's inner wounds with his active control of his own emotions and kindness and empathy for others. Such a warm and powerful female character is eye-catching, and it also makes the entire emotional line of the series fresh and attractive.
In addition, there is a special role that cannot be ignored in "Illuminate You", which is the search and rescue dog "Peace". "Pingan" itself is a very intelligent and docile Labrador, and in "Illuminate You", its scenes have laughter and tears, which has won the love of countless audiences.
With a mixture of multi-element types and outstanding life texture, "Illuminate You"'s new attempt in youthful narrative strategy shows the more vivid and three-dimensional multi-dimensional aspect of "peacetime night watchman". (End)
