Film and television works are a way for the world to know and understand China. Excellent film and television works can become cultural business cards, showing the world the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and can also show the social life of a certain period through the lens, so that audiences with different cultural backgrounds can immerse themselves in the scene and find resonance.The TV series I participated in, such as "Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", "Double Tape", "Wang Gui and Anna", etc. were broadcast in Africa, and "Little Farewell" (pictured) and other dramas were broadcast in Mongolia. The Times was also presented to Tanzania as a national gift. I heard that people like these shows very much. I feel so honored as an actor.
Because of these works, I was fortunate to go to Mongolia and Tanzania to have face-to-face communication with local audiences. What impresses me is that foreign audiences are full of curiosity and really want to know the Chinese customs and customs shown in the play. In Africa, ordinary people pay more attention to the content related to their daily life, and the details of life shown in Chinese film and television dramas make them feel close to the real. When I saw pictures of Swahili-speaking edamame getting along with her mother-in-law, I realized that despite the different cultural backgrounds, people's desire to have a good family is the same, and their pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty and concern for life are similar. . As long as film and television dramas express the common pursuit of people, it is not difficult to find soulmates. While filming the film "Operation Red Sea" overseas, I was recognized by a Ugandan girl as the actor of Edamame. She said enthusiastically: "The engineers from China have connected us with digital TV signals. There are more and more channels, and the programs are getting better and better. The clothes in "Flower Thousand Bone" are so beautiful."
Many film and television works show the style of the times, record the details of life, and describe the spiritual world through the delicate description of people's lives. No matter what country, what nation, what kind of cultural tradition or way of life is inseparable from these ordinary and trivial daily life. They form the true face of life. People's struggles and efforts in the daily flow of life are what touch people's hearts.
When "Little Farewell" was broadcast in Mongolia, according to the local TV station, 21,000 households in Ulaanbaatar watched it. When the main creator meeting was held, many local audiences signed up to participate, and many even came from far away. At the meeting, everyone repeatedly mentioned the issue of education. An audience member asked Huang Lei and me, "What should you do if your children are rebellious when they are adolescents?"
Someone asked me, which part is the most important for Chinese TV dramas to "go global"? I think it is important to understand the needs of the audience, the way to tell the story, do a good job in translation and promotion. As an actor, it is my mission to tell Chinese stories well and create more excellent works. Chinese culture is broad and profound, we should continue to create excellent film and television works, and strive to carry forward Chinese culture.
At the 25th Shanghai TV Festival, several actors and I were awarded the "Overseas Promotion Ambassador of Chinese TV Programs". Our team is still expanding. I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, in the future, more excellent film and television works that spread Chinese culture and tell Chinese stories will enter the international field of vision, and more foreign friends will see and love our works.
