Gaojiabao Town has a history of more than 500 years, and 80% of the buildings in the city are old houses that are hundreds or even hundreds of years old. There are doorways on the southeast and west sides of the ancient city. There are ancient buildings such as Zhongxing Building, City God Temple and Ximen Temple in the city, as well as many well-preserved quadrangles, ancient houses and streets. It can be said that the ancient city is the best preserved in northern Shaanxi, even in Shaanxi. Last year, Gaojiabao was selected as "the sixth batch of famous historical and cultural towns in China".
Why can Gaojiabao become the location of the TV series Ordinary World? Hou Fu, the author of the book, said that Gaojiabao can fully display the life and cultural ecology of northern Shaanxi in the 1970s, and the buildings and streets preserved by Gaojiabao are very similar to the social scenes at that time, which can easily restore the urban and rural life scenes at that time.
Walking on the streets of the ancient town, shops eroded by wind and rain still stand quietly, telling the prosperity of the past. From time to time, inscriptions and fiery slogans such as "The fundamental way out for agriculture lies in mechanization", "Serving the people" and "The core force leading our cause is China's production party" suddenly make people feel the breath of that era.
That era is gone forever. Standing on the wall of Gaojiabao, I couldn't help thinking silently and walking through the shooting place of the TV series The Legend of Luyao. The voice from the depths of history echoes in our ears: the ancients gave us "land". How can we "work like a cow" and leave some exploitable resources for future generations while harvesting more fruitful fruits?
Come to Gaojiabao for a walk again, feel the hard life of the hero on the yellow land, and look for the shadow of his struggle when he was young. Very sense of space and history! Gaobao Town has a long history and ancient buildings are relatively well preserved. Many buildings can be directly used in the TV series Ordinary World. There are many important scenic spots, such as the former West County Revolutionary Committee, railway station, state-run canteen, Xinhua Bookstore, supply and marketing cooperative, Dongfeng photo studio and so on.
The crew left, leaving a scenic spot for Gaojiabao, which attracted many people to visit. Why are Lu Yao's works so popular? My feeling is that he always keeps pace with the times, pays attention to the fate of ordinary people, and makes readers feel the same.
Director Mao Weining said that in order to find the location of Ordinary World, the crew visited several counties in northern Shaanxi, including Suide, Jingbian and other places where Lu Yao lived. "We have spent a lot of money and energy on restoring the atmosphere of the times.
The rapid development and changes in China have brought unprecedented difficulties to films reflecting the past years. We have almost rebuilt the villages, counties and cities in the play. Finally, "Ordinary World" started shooting in Gaojiabao, Shenmu County, northern Shaanxi. The scene was built from 20 13 to 10 for nearly four months. "Some scenes are basic, so we rebuild and repair fences, and some are completely rebuilt.
We built a supply and marketing cooperative and expanded a school. The main location of the story is Shuangshui Village, which is basically rebuilt. We even rebuilt a railway, built a dam and built a corner of a flooded city, all of which are mentioned in the novel.
And coal mines, because real coal mines are too dangerous. There is a jujube festival play, because it is not the jujube production season when shooting. We bought some dates in the date palm grove and hung them up. Artistic scenery is more expensive than urban drama. "
Even the customs are different. "Go to the market, do Yangko for the New Year, and now the village competition is gone. There is a scene where Sun Shaoan gets married. At that time, there was a custom of marriage, funeral and marriage. It's different now. " .
Director Mao Weining said that except for a few main actors, most of the extras are locals. "Although the living conditions have improved, the simple folk customs of the local people and the intimate relationship between people still exist. Everyone there knows the book "Ordinary World", and the influence of the novel can be seen.
Mao Weining said, "Sun Shaoping has awakened the fighting spirit of a generation of young people. With the process of reform and opening up, these people have been recognized today. However, in the process of adaptation, I realized that the problems in Sun Shaoan still exist, and the complex relationship between farmers and rural areas, land and clan is still a problem that needs attention in China today.
We have also strengthened the line of cadres Tian Fujun. He has the courage to break the barriers of old ideas and solidify the barriers of interests, and he has the courage not to talk about it, but he also paid a price for it.
All three protagonists have their own inner actions in the play. Sun Shaoping is seeking for self and realizing self-worth, Sun Shaoan is getting rid of suffering and Tian Fujun is reforming. "
Lu Yao once said: "I am the son of an authentic farmer. Personally, I think this world is the world of ordinary people. The world of ordinary people is of course an ordinary world, but it is also a great world forever. As for me, as an ordinary worker in this world, I will always regard this ordinary world as the sacred God I created.
No matter how many difficulties, pains and even misfortunes we have experienced in life, we still have reason to be proud of the land and years we have lived in. This is Lu Yao's own annotation on the title and content of Ordinary World.
Ordinary World has been an undisputed bestseller and bestseller in the domestic book market since its publication in three volumes from 65438 to 0988, which has influenced a large number of readers including Pan Shiyi, Chen and Jia.
Pan Yi has talked about the influence of the novel "Ordinary World" on his life many times, and took the initiative to "endorse" the TV series of the same name.

Occasionally I met an old man with the characteristics of northern Shaanxi in the street. In fact, it is difficult to photograph old people wearing white sheep belly towels in northern Shaanxi now.
Under the eaves above the street, you can also see the poster of the TV series "Ordinary World" from time to time. An old man sat there smoking and drinking tea and thinking about his life. He looks very dignified. I thought it was a very unique scene, so I filmed it quickly.
The gate at the southern end of the ancient street looks like a newly-built or renovated ancient town, because it is connected with Yao Lu. Looking at the historical scenes and recalling the pictures in the works, I always feel glad that you came.
