Chief Planner's Notes: The Backbone of Climbing: Ordinary makes a great

documentary "The Backbone of Climbing" uses simple images and text to tell the story of Mount Taishan.

Mount Taishan is an ordinary, insignificant and difficult occupation in people's eyes. However, greatness comes from ordinaryness, and ordinaryness makes greatness.

In China Mount Tai, which is famous for its height, the danger of eighteen dishes, and the prosperity of humanities, there are already one of the few mountain climbers. It is a symbol of not afraid of hardships and bravely carrying heavy burdens. However, as laborers who work hard and sweat all the year round, they have the wisdom to work, the dignity to make money, the responsibility of raising a family, and the indifferent happiness. They let people understand that it is because of their smallness that they can see greatness!

Therefore, the writer Feng Jicai praised them, the esthetician Yang Xin chanted them, the composer Qu Bo lyricized them, and the sculptors Zhang Runkai and Zhang Dedi made statues for them.

In 2018, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Shandong, he put forward the requirement of "being brave to be a mountain worker in the new era". This is the highest commendation for Mount Taishan, and it is also the call of the times to all strugglers.

This is a TV documentary full of sincerity by TV workers. Because there is a group of TV guys who really got into touch with the mountain pickers. They respect this group of laborers and are also respected by this group.

It is a documentary. We hope that it is as natural as the vegetation growing on Mount Tai, and it has the power to grow. (Written by Zhang Wenbing, Director of the Documentary Center of Shandong Radio and Television Station and the chief planner of the documentary "The Backbone of Climbing")

Chief Director's Notes: Calling the Spirit of the Times with Real and Moving Stories. The previous essay "Tiaoshan Gong" has some understanding, but after all, an essay still cannot make people understand this group more deeply and intuitively. They are too ordinary and ordinary. They are porters who rely on their physical strength to pick goods on Mount Tai to make money and support their families. What kind of stories will they have?

"The backbone of climbing" is our positioning of this group. The so-called "climbing" means that they not only shoulder heavy burdens, but also overcome the difficulties of climbing over the hurdles; the so-called "spine" is that they use their own weight to climb a piece Heaven and Earth, take the responsibility of the family and the times. For the topic of

, we were most worried about two points at the beginning. One is to make a monotonous running account, and the other is to symbolize, which bluntly turns them into conceptual footnotes.

In front of us, there is a winding road with more than 6,000 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. A group of guys who are climbing on this winding road in the cold and summer, they repeat this kind of work every day, and they can take pictures. What kind of? Moreover, how is their work related to the changes of this mountain and the times?

But the charm of the documentary is here, everything is gradually changed in the effort.

When we are determined to spend enough time to approach them, get rid of the strangeness, and become one with them, they will change from a symbol to a character with a clear and full-blooded character, and their "climbs" will become one by one. A vivid story.

When we deeply understand their past and take care of them from the history and development of Mount Tai, we will discover how their ordinary bodies are closely connected with the great changes of Mount Tai.

In this way, a 50-minute film has rich and colorful content and endless aftertaste.

The stories of the four mountain pickers and the equipment handling that determined the fate of the Taishan cableway vividly portray their perseverance, hard work and responsibility. And the two old artists used elaborate sculptures to express and interpret their spiritual world most vividly. (Text / Li Ming, chief director of the documentary "The Climbing Backbone")Camera Notes: Climbing, in order to better record the

for half a year, we have been with Mount Tai as a company, and with mountain workers as friends, hiking and shooting more than 800 kilometers in Mount Tai. Wake up in the dark, walk around every corner of Mount Tai with your feet and a camera, take pictures of every red sunrise of Mount Tai, every time you are stunning at the sea of ​​clouds, and every time you carry dozens of kilograms of photography equipment, follow along on foot and take pictures. There are more than 7,000 steps to and fro from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen for a hundred catties of goods. This is the daily work faced by photography colleagues in the documentary film "The Climbing Backbone".

The sun rises every day. Taishan sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds do not appear with the early morning every day. In order to capture the natural wonders of Taishan as much as possible, the director and photographer will each carry a weight of 30 or 40 catties around 3 in the morning. With the shooting equipment, we walked from Zhongtian Gate to Nantian Gate in the dark. On the top of Mount Tai, on the cliffs and everywhere that can show the beautiful Mount Tai, set up the equipment to wait for that moment.

In half a year, there were more than one million steps, just the number of steps that the director and photographer stepped on to and from Taishan Mountain to the southern Tianmen Gate of Taishan Mountain. During the shooting, everyone had been sunburned, fell, and sprained under the scorching sun. Even the downpour did not stop the mountain workers from climbing bravely.
