"The drama has a charm, and once you come into contact, I fall in love with it", Qu Zhongheng claimed to be "good luck", and the second drama can participate in high-quality plays like "Treasure Island One Village", so he is especially grateful to Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong. Born in a military village, he lived in a military village for 20 years. As the "second generation of military village", he is called a "provincial person". He has heard his father tell everything about his hometown since he was a child. He met his relatives far away from his hometown from old photos. Qu Zhongheng experienced the pain of life that intertwined with sadness and helplessness of his father's generation. He is a true role for the role of "Lao Zhao". However, as a model worker in "Treasure Island Village", more than 200 people have not fallen out of the market, which inevitably makes people wonder how he faced the "wall-hitting period"? The advice given to him by senior Jin Shijie is to "calm your mind and return to zero". Only when there is no burden will the emotions come out.
rehearsing "Treasure Island Village", which is a process of re-understanding of his father. Only after he chatted with his father, he gradually learned about his father's experience of traveling to Taiwan. "My ancestral home is Tai'an, Shandong. This drama has given me a deep communication with my father and I re-reached my father. He has been wandering for most of his life and missing his hometown. I sympathize with him very much and learn to cherish his family more." He can find the feeling of homesickness in the play in his father. For example, in the scene of visiting relatives, Lao Zhao had to perform the feeling of "kneeling down on his knees and can't get up". This kind of scene also occurred when his father returned to the mainland to visit relatives. Qu Zhongheng also revealed that his father said a few words "good" after watching "Treasure Island Village" and read it more than once.

What village is "Treasure Island Village"?
This is a plot introduction
"A Village in Baodao" tells the story of a military village. So, what is a "military village"? At the Ningbo press conference, Qu Zhongheng said that in fact, you don’t need to have a deep understanding of what it looks like. The secret to the long-lasting performance of classic works is that the emotions in the play are "commonly shared by the whole world" . He firmly believes that even without the experience of living in the military village, mainland audiences, especially young people, can understand the emotions in this play. In fact, he saw so many young people crying. I believe that the sincere feelings in the play will also impress Ningbo citizens.At the beginning of the drama, a row of teams fleeing from mainland China to Taiwan. Before boarding the ship, they were passing a checkpoint to proofread their identity and name. In order to save your life and not to go hungry, some follow an unfamiliar man, and some give someone else's name.
Act 2, Mainland soldiers who followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan moved into military villages, and each family was close to each other, separated by a bamboo fence, and everyone was like a family.
The scene of the death of "Old President" Chiang Kai-shek. The veterans felt helpless and lonely, and they cried, "The 'Old President' is dead! Who will take us back to their hometown?"
A group of veterans who came to Taiwan lined up to collect the military village door number, and the Zhao family, Zhu family and Zhou family lived next to each other. In the initial period of war, they tried their best to survive... This is the drama "A Village in Baodao". Brigitte Lin once said that there are so many real military villages that are friendly and neighborly like in the play and are warm stories that are as friendly as in the play, and seems to be trivial, but behind the interweaving of laughter and tears are the sadness and joy of the big era and small village, the ups and downs and small people, the big destiny and small stories.
get Interpretation
What is a military village?
military villages in Taiwan usually refer to houses built by the Kuomintang army and their families who migrated from the mainland to Taiwan Province from 1949 to the 1960s.
Due to the turmoil of the political environment, the new post-war immigrants who unexpectedly crossed the sea took root in the village where they had only temporarily settled, and developed a unique ethnic culture like "military village". The first generation misses homesick and hopes to return home. The second generation was born in Taiwan and the concept of land identity gradually changed. However, the two generations jointly shape the vivid image of life and value attitudes; the close group emotions and exclusive life memories give the word "military village" a unique and legendary spiritual code.
. Many celebrities including Teresa Teng, Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong, Ang Lee, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Yang Dechang, etc. are children from military villages. Lai Shengchuan said, "It is an unknown history and homesick history." It is similar to the concept of the military compound in the mainland. The most obvious difference is that in the words of the starring actor Qu Zhongheng, it is "nostalgia", a feeling of "waiting and waiting until you can never go back."
The background of the story of the military village is actually sad, but the story of "A Village in Baodao" is full of jokes. The viewer often crys the first second, and the sentimental emotions in the next second are broken by a funny baggage. For example, the first time the person in the play has had a New Year’s Eve dinner in Taiwan, when it was lively, Lao Zhu said: "I am a hero from Shandong, but when I got on the boat, I saw that the land was getting smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, and then it disappeared. My heart..." suddenly hit the pain point in people's heart. Lai Shengchuan hopes that the audience can find something to make fun of pain from the story, and the comedy of the heavy historical themes makes people feel even more sad.
Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong
The hard work and creativity of the two stories kings
"Director Lai thinks history is very fragile. If they don't do this drama, people may not even know what the military village is in a few years." Talking about the screenwriter and director of this drama, Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong, Qu Zhongheng said, "These two people are a very strange combination." Qu Zhongheng said that Lai Shengchuan was very well-educated and spoke softly, and he had never seen him get angry. On the contrary, Wang Weizhong is a "wild child grown up in a military village", with a quirky and terrifying idea, and became a variety show producer at the age of 26. "He is very naughty, and sometimes he can speak swear words and speak yellow-tongued."
"A Village in Baodao" This era drama originated from the military village in Chiayi, Taiwan is based on the story of the military village growth of Wang Weizhong, a well-known Taiwanese producer.
Wang Weizhong share the details of life in the military village on Weibo
Mr. Wang Weizhong, one of the directors of this drama, is a famous "father of variety shows" in Taiwan and is also known as a "teacher of television". He currently has many well-known artists, such as Xiao S, Xie Yilin, Chen Handian, Qu Zhongheng, Tuo Zongkang, etc. Wang Weizhong's ancestral home is Beijing. He grew up in a military village since he was a child and has always had the idea of bringing military village life to the stage.As the military villages are constantly demolishing and renovating, in order to preserve history immediately, he devoted himself to making documentaries and writing books. He also collided with his friend Lai Shengchuan, the artistic director of his friend "Performing Workshop", which created the creative spark of the cooperative stage play.
co-production of two top creatives has made "Treasure Island One Village" quite exciting and promising charm
Wang Weizhong began to tell the stories of the military village to Lai Shengchuan in 2005. By 2007, he told more than 200 stories, which made Lai Shengchuan very interested. Since then, many real stories and related research have been collected widely, and the concept of "Treasure Island One Village" has taken shape. The plot is run through the story of four families and three generations experiencing 57 years of life together. Through the alternation of laughter and tears and sadness, it reviews the most precious history of ethnic integration in Taiwan; and through the theater, it tries to establish the foundation for the oral history of the military village.
The real environment in Taiwan is very special. For political reasons, ethnic groups can easily become manipulation methods; destruction is simple, but repair and integration require wisdom. Although military villages are not new themes in the history of television and drama, "The Village of Baodao" obviously attempts to provide another different perspective for Taiwan at this moment, besides nostalgia, hilariousness and tears.
