Five thousand years of culture is the best material for film and television creation. Don't walk on the rich mines to find gold mountains

recently, South Korea's tvN TV broadcast a time travel drama "worthy of its reputation" with the theme of traditional Chinese medicine, about Xu Ren, the best acupuncturist from the 17th century Korean Dynasty, who came to Seoul more than 400 years later by chance. He met Cui Yanjing, a modern surgeon, and the two sides started an exchange between traditional and modern medicine.

recently, South Korea's tvN TV broadcast a time travel drama "worthy of its reputation" with the theme of traditional Chinese medicine, about Xu Ren, the best acupuncturist from the 17th century Korean dynasty, who came to Seoul more than 400 years later by chance and met modern surgeon Cui Yanjing. The two sides launched an exchange between traditional and modern medicine.

there is no sense of disobedience in the story, and even people who are not previously interested in medical dramas will be attracted by the plot of acupuncture to treat the poor. As a result, the TV series unexpectedly attracted attention.

of course, there are medical dramas in China, such as "male Obstetrician", "Angel Tonight", "Young Doctor" and "surgery". It's just that most professional dramas are just new bottles of old wine. in essence, they still fall in love under the guise of medical dramas, which are still idol dramas.

the author thinks that there are still three works of conscience that can be called the conscience of the industry, such as "Infinite Life" in 2005, "Doctor's Benevolence" in 2010, and "Heart of mind" in 2012. But we are only picking the big ones among the small peanuts, and some of them cannot be shot professionally because of the level of research, financial conditions, auditing and other factors.

Let's take a look at "Monday Morning", "Dr. House", "Grey's Anatomy" and "the Story of the Emergency Room" in the United States are all classic medical dramas, and their rigorous attitude in medical dramas is something we urgently need to learn. Some films and TV dramas with medical themes in Japan and South Korea should not be underestimated, and their in-depth insight and calm perspective on the current medical situation and social problems is the key to the success of these works.

the combination of the two themes of Chuanyue opera and medical drama can be said to be a thinking-inspired innovation of South Koreans, and they have found a new way, but do we have to follow others and continue to copy?

in fact, there have been many surprises in documentaries in China, such as "Emergency Room Story", "the World" and "Materia Medica China", but this is still too small for a country with a population of 1.4 billion.

Chinese traditional culture is a rich mine. A large part of the "Kung Fu Panda" series is based on traditional Chinese cultural resources, but it is an American action comedy film; acupuncture in "worthy of its reputation" comes from traditional Chinese medicine, but it is a Korean drama; "the Tale of Genji" reveals the atmosphere of Chinese classical literature everywhere, but it is a Japanese drama.

this shows how important a country's cultural soft power is. We cannot waste five thousand years of Chinese civilization, many of which can actually be absorbed into film and television production as materials, but many of them have been "borrowed" by the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, showing a trend of "resale."

TCM is indeed a very profound resource, so deep that some of us can use it to fake things in variety health programs that are more real than real. The author remembers a cartoon of a man climbing a wall, stepping on a pile of ladders but not using it. Chinese people never lack wisdom, perhaps because they are too wise and smart, some people like to take shortcuts and have made a lot of gains over a period of time, so they gradually become lazy and too lazy to study every detail that should be paid attention to. Innovation is not easy, rigor seems to be the least difficult, but it is also the least easy to do. Medical dramas are very valuable as long as they make one mistake at a time.

the most heartbreaking thing is that we are looking for Jinshan everywhere when we are already standing on Jinshan, but it is a pity that most domestic filmmakers turn a blind eye to the subject of traditional Chinese medicine or do not dig enough. As long as we make movies and TV dramas well and well, we will greatly reduce some unnecessary worries about traditional culture, still less will we always have a war of words with Japan and South Korea over the application for heritage sites.

therefore, the author really hopes that "worthy of its reputation" is a contemporary "Divine Doctor Xilai Le"!
