Recently, a TV series "Red Years", which tells the story of China’s third-line construction, is being broadcasted by CCTV 1 and iQiyi.

Based on the national "third-line construction" and the famous third-line industrial enterprises located in Panzhihua, Sichuan, such as Shijiuye, Pangang and Panzhihua Coal, the play shows in a panoramic way that a large number of energetic builders came to the depths of the Panxi Rift Valley with criss-crossing ravines, overcame many difficulties, burned their own "red years", built a "barren land" into a new industrial city, and led the younger generation to actively adapt to the development of the country.

Shoot the location of the base

It is understood that this drama has set up four shooting bases in Panzhihua Panmei General Hospital, Gaojiaping Community in Hemenkou Street, Hantong Coking Factory in Geliping Industrial Park, and Shangshang location in Xiqu Zhuang. At present, the best-preserved shooting base is only Gaojiaping Community Base in Xiahemenkou Street. Today, the cover journalist punched in the best-preserved shooting base-Gaojiaping Community Base in Hemenkou Street.

He said, "A total of 224 scenes were shot here, and the shooting period was about 90 days."

On the morning of the 29th, the cover news went through an obscure door and entered the cement plant of that year. The red brick houses around the road are simple and elegant, and at first glance they belong to the characteristics of that era. Further down, the towering trees cover the sun and leave a tree-lined path.

Go along the path for a short time, go up a slope, and you will reach the headquarters. On both sides of the gate, the red slogan "Think of the motherland and look at the world" is painted, and then go inside, posting some slogans of the age, such as completely eliminating schistosomiasis and vigorously carrying out patriotic health campaigns. Separated by a wall, it seems to have crossed back to more than half a century ago.

Walking into the headquarters, it was restored to its original state with wooden tables, wax paper, kettle and enamel cups. On the design table full of drawings, there are orange rulers and protractors. In the cupboard, the file bag of that year is displayed. On the desk, there is a dusty Sichuan Daily on September 14th, 1976. "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to climb" on the wall reminds visitors that people here are full of energy. On the pillow towel spread on the bed in the bedroom, it is marked that this is a product from Shanghai towel factory. And the door curtain, embroidered with birds and flowers and birds with white cool cloth. In the dining room window, I also filled the meal tickets of one point and two points in the ferry cement plant with rattan utensils …

Panzhihua people are hotly discussing

The drama is full of the sense of time, and it feels like going back in time.

Qin Kelong relives his youth at the shooting base.

At that time, when the crew filmed in Panzhihua, it caused a sensation. Often, people will look at the shooting scene from a distance. Qin Kelong is one of them. When he was young, he used to work in a cement factory. His family lived in Gaojiaping, which is very close to the shooting base. He often came to visit, and he could only see a group of clothes in the style he used to wear in the past. The TV series started, and every day, he stayed in front of the TV on time. The scenes brought him back to his youthful days with boiling blood. "We were really bitter! After working during the day, I continued to work at night, but everyone didn’t shout hard or tired. This drama filmed the spirit of China. " Qin Kelong said that the lines of "doing things on the ground" in TV dramas are the same as what they said in those years.

The popularity of this drama has made Panzhihua people very proud. More importantly, through the TV series, they can see themselves and their parents working hard in this city. Hu Jin, a worker at Hemenkou Power Plant, told the cover journalist that his father moved to Panzhihua in 1965 and lived and worked here. He was born, raised and lived in Sri Lanka. When the footage of the wooden bed in the family building flashed on the TV series, "I had the feeling of going back in time".

Lei Yong, a 77-year-old national model worker, experienced the burning years of passion. He believes that this drama is very realistic, reproduces the real situation of the third-line construction, and also captures the kind of hard struggle spirit they had in those years.

Climbing the second generation for the first time "electric shock"

Played 11 scenes and became a group performance with lines.

The happiest audience is Li Yirong. In this play, she appeared 11 times, and she was lucky to be a group performer with lines.

Li Yirong, a second-generation climber, is 54 years old. He wears two stout braided hair, one on his left and the other on his chest. Her hairstyle has basically not changed since she finished filming the TV series. In her words, this is a reminiscence of those years and a tribute to our parents.

At that time, the crew announced the recruitment of extras in the local area, and she signed up for singing and dancing. On the day of the interview, she took root in a plait, dressed in casual clothes, and went face down. Unexpectedly, the interviewer asked her age, looked at her appearance, and told her to "join the group at once to change clothes, make up and act."

She still remembers that the first scene was carrying stones with gloves on. The stone needs to be moved from the mountain to the cart. Because of acting for the first time, she couldn’t restrain her inner excitement and moved the stone with a slight smile. Obviously, her expression was not in place and she was stopped by the director. "The director told me to play, saying that it is necessary to act very hard and tired, not very happy." Li Yirong moved from trip to trip until he was exhausted, and that feeling came out and the film was passed.

Although acting is tiring, she doesn’t feel bitter. "Through acting, I can go back to my parents’ era, reminisce about their work and pay tribute to them," said Li Yirong, who became one of the best performers in the group performance. Sometimes, when other groups fail to perform, she will take the initiative to go up. She calculated that she performed 11 scenes altogether, and 6 scenes belonged to the backup rescue. "The director asked me, alternate acting is unpaid, do you care? I replied, I don’t care about making money. What I care about is going back to the past through acting and returning to the era when my parents lived. "

Because of her outstanding performance, the crew also gave her a line. "You see, our workshop director got married and invited us to attend the wedding. So lively! " She has watched TV every night since the TV series started. In the first episode, college students entered Panzhihua by truck, and she was in that truck. When she got off the bus, she saw one of the people brushing braided hair’s back, and she recognized it as herself. "Although I didn’t show my face, I’m still so excited!" It has been broadcast for several days, and she only saw this scene. She didn’t know how many scenes with her would be broadcast next, and she was even a little worried that the line she said would be deleted.
