The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 734: "Mountains and Seas" starts airing, and the five-year plan for TV series is completed (asking for monthly tickets)
A day later, the box office results of "A Chinese Odyssey" were also released.

The day after Xu Ye's concert ended, the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" saw an increase.

At this point in the movie's release, the box office had been declining every day, and it would be very difficult to increase it again.

As a result of Xu Ye's move, many viewers rushed to the cinema to watch "A Chinese Odyssey" twice or three times.

When they saw Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy in the movie again, they had different feelings.

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t do it in the movie, in reality, Zhizunbao has already got the beauty.

The most outrageous thing is that Xu Baifeng’s company’s stock price rose.

Just because Xu Ye's proposal was successful, the Xu family's company stock price rose.

The problem that had been bothering Xu Baifeng was easily solved.

The reason is very simple. His company's business scope is very wide and many of its products are for the general public.

If a top star like Xu Ye starts endorsing his own products, his ability to bring sales would be quite terrifying.

The capital market is optimistic about this combination.

However, Xu Baifeng did not plan to let his future son-in-law bring goods to them.

As a mature entrepreneur, he would not let his daughter be tied to his ship.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, Xu Ye just needs to focus on his career.

On the other side, Xu Ye also received good news.

The post-production of "Mountains and Seas" has been completed and can be submitted for review.

Because of the special subject matter and high quality of this TV series, it had already been booked by CCTV, so it was naturally not difficult to pass the review, and it could even be said to have been given the green light all the way.

Soon, "Mountains and Seas" was scheduled to premiere on May 5.

CCTV has already cleared its schedule for "Mountains and Seas".

This big studio also announced the release date of "Mountains and Seas".

"This is the first five-year plan of a large studio, and the fifth TV series, "Mountains and Seas," is about to be launched."

Netizens were quite confused after seeing the promotional poster of Mountains and Seas.

"What kind of clothes are they wearing? Are they telling stories about the countryside?"

“Is this a poverty alleviation TV series?”

"I didn't expect the dean to dress like this. It's quite interesting."

"Is this the first time that the dean plays a male lead?"

“This subject matter is boring at first glance.”

"Don't say it too early. Before the show was aired, everyone thought it was boring."

There is currently no TV drama on the theme of poverty alleviation in the entire TV drama market, and there are no reference cases at all.

But the four words "poverty alleviation" sound very tough.

Everyone understands that poverty alleviation is not a simple matter. There are many stories involved, but most of them take place in poverty-stricken areas.

This kind of theme is obviously a mainstream TV series.

If it were someone else's mainstream TV series, the audience would not have any hope at all.

But this is Xu Ye’s TV series!

Xu Ye has proven time and again with his strength that he can make even mainstream TV series interesting.

On the Internet, the promotion of this drama is also progressing smoothly.

Soon it was May 5nd, and at 22 o'clock in the evening, the prime-time drama "Mountains and Seas" on CCTV's comprehensive channel officially started broadcasting.

When the time came, many viewers came to CCTV.

“I’ve never seen a play like this.”

"We must support the drama starring the dean!"

"Anything produced by Xu Ye must be top quality!"

The main film begins in 1991, in Ning Province, where the local government implemented a "Dangzhuang Immigration" policy in order to ensure that the people of Xihaigu had enough food.

The policy was to relocate people in batches from the mountains to the plains near the provincial capital, to open up wasteland, develop production, and build new homes.

This is the background story of the entire TV series.

Then, a voice sounded.

"County magistrate, you have never been angry about this place. Neither have I been angry about this place. This is a desert. The lands that each household has are too far away from each other. It is impossible to watch over and manage it."

The audience was a little surprised when they heard this line.

Isn't this speaking in dialect?
When the camera turned again, everyone discovered the county magistrate sitting opposite, and a group of audiences immediately shouted excitedly.

"Shopkeeper Tong!"

"Tong Xiangyu, why are you here to be the county magistrate?"

“This show is full of actors from this big studio!”

After the county magistrate spoke, everyone found that he was also speaking in dialect.

This dialect combines the characteristics of the dialects of Guanzhong and various regions on the Loess Plateau. Many netizens have heard these dialects, and their evaluation is that they sound rustic.

It’s not that the dialect is very rustic, but it feels like there is a hint of earth in the voice when speaking.

This is also the characteristic of this dialect.

As for whether audiences from other places will feel uncomfortable with it?
Not at all, because this is what Tong Xiangyu said in "Wulin Waijiao".

The county magistrate reprimanded him, "You made promises beforehand, but then you made excuses afterwards. What did you promise me?"

The audience was directly dreaming back to "Wulin Waijia".

Some viewers found the version awkward and switched to the Mandarin version.

But after switching over, they felt something was even more wrong.

After switching to the dialect version, I realized that the dialect still sounds better.

Not to mention that era, even in this day and age, many cadres in remote areas cannot speak Mandarin.

Speaking dialect makes us more down-to-earth and closer to the people.

What you say is not important, what you do is important.

At this time, Xu Ye also appeared.

As soon as he appeared, the number of comments increased.

"It's pretty handsome."

"The dean's attire was quite similar to that of a college student at that time."

When Xu Ye spoke, he also spoke in dialect.

"He is handsome, but I don't like him when he speaks in dialect."

"This dialect has a really earthy flavor, and even the dean's looks can't handle it."

"That's enough. Didn't you hear the dialect version of the dean's performance? That's what it tastes like."

The audience just watched on.

Xu Ye plays Ma Defu, who is from Yongquan Village. After graduating from agricultural school, he came to work in the Diaozhuang Office.

The man who was talking to the county magistrate just now was Director Zhang from the Diaozhuang Office.

Several villagers who had already moved to Yongquan Village ran back to Yongquan Village, so Director Zhang wanted Ma Defu to help persuade the villagers.

The story begins here.

Ma Defu had just arrived at his job and was full of energy and wanted to do a good job.

When the audience watched TV, they didn't feel at all that this was a TV series about poverty alleviation. Instead, they were all attracted by the plot.

Yellow earth, common people.

People in the mountains have all kinds of problems, and they also want to live a good life.

"This is all for your own good, why don't you want to move out!"

"It's all wasteland over there now. We'll have to start all over again after we get there. We know things will get better in the future, but they don't."

"Those people back then didn't have a God's perspective, and I can understand that."

Each person comes alive.

After the first episode was aired, some viewers had already posted on Weibo.

“This show is extraordinary!”

Indeed, this drama is different from what everyone imagines. It is very down-to-earth and real. The characters have their own characteristics and are not stereotyped.

In the second episode, Ma Defu and Director Zhang convened a villagers' meeting to do ideological work for the villagers.

With everyone's efforts, they finally solved the most difficult problem at the beginning, and some people were willing to go there to open up the wasteland.

The audience was also attracted by the content of the drama.

The whole story does not focus only on Ma Defu, but on many people.

There are villagers, cadres, teachers in the village school, and young people in this environment.

On the first day of its broadcast, the ratings of "Mountains and Seas" exceeded 2.

Moreover, as soon as the drama was aired, it received a large amount of publicity resources.

Many times there is no need for Xu Ye to do any publicity, as some media will do the publicity spontaneously.

After being broadcast for several days in a row, the audience group of "Mountains and Seas" has stabilized, and some related videos have appeared on Douyin that teach you how to speak the dialect in "Mountains and Seas".

Just like on Earth, TV dramas in dialect are more popular than those in Mandarin.

When filming, the actors all spoke in dialect, and the dialect was the original version.

After a few days of observation, the patients at Huohua Hospital suddenly realized something.

"The dean has been following so many government accounts, and now it's finally useful!"

"I looked at it for a long time, and I just saw a few words: The dean wants to take the civil service exam!"

“People who haven’t graduated from college can’t take the civil service exam.”

"It's a pity that the dean can't take the civil service exam. He can only pin his hopes on TV dramas and indulge in the thrill of being a civil servant in them."

The patients in Huohua Hospital suffered heavy losses.

Who told you, Xu Ye, not to be a human being?

However, Xu Ye did not respond to this matter. He was busy dealing with concert matters and preparations for "Let the Bullets Fly".

By the time the TV series reached the 19th episode, the new century had arrived.

The original village has changed a lot, but the people have encountered new problems. The local government has carried out face-saving projects, defaulted on the project payment to migrant workers, and the cadres have frequently passed the buck.

Ma Defu was also hit on the head by a stone thrown by migrant workers who were demanding their wages.

When he returned home, his wife Gao Qingxia appeared.

The plot here cuts out the development process in the middle, and Gao Qingxia appears as Ma Defu's wife as soon as she appears.

The audience was quite confused at first.

When the camera fell on Gao Qingxia's face, the number of comments suddenly increased.

"Oh my god? Isn't this Xiao Xu?"

"I just proposed a while ago, and you two got married in the TV show!"

"You two are really fast."

In this TV series, Xiao Xu performed a different feeling and spoke in dialect.

This is a testament to the acting skills, and the audience doesn't feel any sense of disobedience.

Later, when everyone heard the lines, they found out that Gao Qingxia was pregnant.

Fans of the couple Xu, Xu and Rusheng all had happy smiles on their faces when they watched the show.

In the TV series, it is considered to be one step ahead.

It is worth mentioning that in the TV series, Gao Qingxia’s father is also a cadre.

Ma Defu is very capable, but he married the leader's daughter after all.

This situation is very common in reality. An outstanding man like Ma Defu must be watched by many leaders.

In reality, Xu Nanjia's father Xu Baifeng is also very capable.

After Xu Ye proposed, some trolls started saying on the Internet that Xu Ye was a gigolo.

This is a bit funny.

Xu Ye's career development has never relied on the resources of his future father-in-law.

He doesn't need to live off others.

Soon, the TV series reached the 21st episode. Secretary Zhang asked Ma Defu to be responsible for the relocation of the entire Yongquan Village, and to move all the villagers from Xihaigu to the newly built Min Ning Town.

The Poverty Alleviation Office has been carrying out this work for several months, but there has been no progress. Many older generations are unwilling to leave the land where they have lived for generations.

Ma Defu took on the task.

But this would require him to be away from his pregnant wife for some time.

During the meal, Gao Qingxia said that she didn't want Ma Defu to be responsible for the village relocation, and also told the origin of her name.

Because when she was born, her father was busy building the Qingtongxia Hydropower Station and had no time to come back, so he gave her this name.

But Gao Qingxia was actually quite dissatisfied with this name; it sounded too casual.

Ma Defu consoled him, "My wife is so pretty, she is still a beautiful girl after all."

Gao Qingxia said coldly: "If you don't come back when I give birth, your baby will ask to move to another village."

Ma Defu repeated the name several times and said with a smile, "As long as you can save face."

As they chatted, they started laughing, just like a real couple.

"No buddy, you two haven't even gotten married yet, why do you feel like you're getting married?"

"You two acted so well, I can't bear to watch it!"

"Knife in hand, kill Xu Dog!"

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"

After Ma Defu said goodbye to his wife, he returned to Yongquan Village.

However, the task of relocating the entire village was extremely difficult, as most of the remaining people were unwilling to go to Min Ning Town.

In fact, many people understand that going to Min Ning Town is definitely better than staying in Yongquan Village.

When a village meeting was held, the villagers learned that they would have to pay 2,000 yuan in fundraising funds to move there, and they became even more resistant.

In fact, after paying this money, you can have land and a new house, as well as tap water and natural gas. You don't have to reclaim land like the villagers before, and your life will be better than it is now.

Even so, the villagers were still unwilling.

Everyone learned that the village would be razed to the ground after they left, and grass and trees would be planted here along with the farmland to restore the ecology.

A group of villagers started cursing.

The ancestral graves are all here, we must not leave!

Even the old village party secretary was unwilling to take the lead.

"This is going to dig up the roots of the village. This is a big deal. There are people in the village who are older than me. I am not qualified to express this opinion."

The situation came to a standstill and the elderly people in the village were unwilling to move away.

The young people in the village took the initiative to find Ma Defu to consult about these things. The young people wanted to move away, but if they wanted to move now, they had to move the entire village and could not move individually.

Ma Defu was also overwhelmed by this matter, and even said that the people in the village were unruly. His father directly threw his job away.

His father did not allow Ma Defu to call these villagers troublemakers.

The third sister Ma Dehua, who was eating nearby, threw down her chopsticks and left the table angrily.

Ma Dehua is still in school and has her own ideas in mind.

After a while, Ma Dehua's voice came from the village loudspeaker.

"Everyone in the village, listen up. The government asked us to move to Minning Town so that we can get rid of poverty and live a good life. You are already in your forties, why don't you know what is good for you?"

Ma Dehua opened fire with full force and started spraying directly.

"You only care about your ancestors, but what about us, the descendants? The classrooms collapsed, Principal Bai is gone, and there is no school in the village anymore. Have you ever thought about how the students in the village went to school over the years?"

"You have to run more than ten miles to get into elementary school, dozens of miles to get into junior high school, and live on campus in high school. Which of your kids doesn't suffer the same way as I do? Are we born in this poor place and have to live here our whole lives? You older generation are willing to do that, but we, the younger generation, are not!"

When Ma Dehua was speaking, the villagers came out of their houses and listened.

The old people in the village were all lost in thought.

"Our ancestors didn't give us birth to a good place. We have a chance to change. Why can't we consider it? Why can't we move out? If we move out, our generation will leave the mountains, and it will be much easier to move to the city."

"Such a simple truth, why don't you old people understand it? You must let your descendants suffer the same hardship and poverty as you did, don't you?"

After saying this, Ma Defu and his father Ma Hanshui came to the village office and turned off the loudspeaker.

But the words have been spoken.

The audience was also deeply moved when watching this segment.

The old people are not wrong because they want to protect the land where they grew up. This is their roots.

There’s nothing wrong with young people, they want to go out and make money to change their lives.

Poverty alleviation is not simply about giving money, but about changing mindsets.

Only when you are no longer poor in your thoughts can you truly get rid of poverty.

The old people in the village all came to the village committee, and after listening to Ma Dehua's words, they understood.

But the old people still want to stay in the village and let the young people move away.

This is impossible. If we relocate the entire village, we will relocate the entire village, and no one can be left behind.

Later, Ma Defu became so anxious that he fell ill, and an old man even committed suicide by drinking pesticides.

The old people’s idea is very simple. This is their roots. There are ancestral graves, ancestral houses, and everything they are familiar with. Without roots, there is nothing.

Even if I die, I would rather die in my own home.

When everyone rescued the old man who drank pesticides, Ma Defu thought of his grandfather and great-grandfather.

The two elderly people died because they were not sent to the hospital in time.

Ma Defu finally made up his mind to move.

He came to the village committee office and spoke to the villagers through a loudspeaker.

"A few days ago, Eda told me that several generations ago, everyone in Yongquan Village had the surname Li. Our Ma family's ancestors fled here and were taken in by the Li family's ancestors. This took-in lasted for several generations."

"When it comes to my generation, Ma Defu, I don't feel like an outsider at all. I am a native of Yongquan Village. In my heart, Yongquan Village is my root."

"But now, no matter how deep the roots are, they can't absorb water. Folks, we are moving out not to cut off the roots, but to move them to a more fertile place."

Ma Defu appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them.

"We are too far from the hospital, we are too far from the school, we are too far from the outside, we either can't get out or we can't get back."

In this long dialogue, it is entirely Xu Ye's personal performance.

There is plenty of emotion in his lines, and his expression is not static.

"Humans, after all, are not trees. Humans have two roots, one in the hands of our ancestors, and the other in the hands of us, our descendants. Wherever we go, we can take root there." Xu Ye's voice was loud and clear.

The audience was also moved by his words.

"I discovered that ideological work is very important."

"It's true. If you have problems with your thinking, you won't be able to accomplish many things."

"The dean's acting was really good here. If I were a villager, I would have been convinced."

In the end, Ma Defu convinced the villagers and the relocation of the entire village officially started.

The story also came to an end. After eating their last meal in the village, everyone left the land that gave birth to them.

The TV series "Mountains and Seas" has a total of twenty-three episodes, and three episodes will be broadcast in a row tonight, and it will be finished directly.

After all the playbacks were completed, all the data were finally released.

The average viewership rating was 2.58, and the online discussion was also quite high.

"After watching this drama, I finally understood how difficult it is to get rid of poverty!"

“Salute to the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the fight against poverty, and salute to all the cadres who have fought for this great cause!”

"If I hadn't watched this drama, I really wouldn't have known that getting out of poverty is so difficult!"

On the Internet, netizens are also discussing the plot of the TV series.

Unlike Xu Ye’s other dramas, this one doesn’t have many funny parts, but rather more touching parts.

It is extremely rare for a drama of this theme to arouse such a high level of discussion online, not to mention that it has also received extremely high ratings.

The TV series also received a high score of 9.2 on Green Bean.com.

The day after "Mountains and Seas" was broadcast, this big studio released a Weibo post.

"This is a five-year plan for a major studio, and the TV drama plan has been completed ahead of schedule. Congratulations!"
