Why can the series "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City" go all the way from Li Li to the big screen?
The documentary "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City" is popular, probably because it makes people feel that everyone who concentrates on their work seems to shine overhead, attracting people to open their eyes.

"I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City" is a documentary with only three episodes. 2065438+0665438+10.7 premiered on CCTV 9, but the response was not great at that time, and few people paid attention to this documentary.

However, after a lapse of one month, the documentary became popular on a famous video barrage website, Bi Li Bi Li (also known as Bi Li Bi Li), with more than 2 million hits. It's still rising, and it will be made into a movie version this year,1February.

Many people should have been to the Forbidden City, seen some rare treasures on display in the Forbidden City, admired their exquisiteness and were surprised by the wisdom of the ancients. The picture below shows the longevity screen presented by Kangxi's 65,438+06 sons and 32 grandchildren on his 60th birthday. It looks really beautiful.

But have you ever thought that when these exquisite cultural relics were first unearthed, they were not like this, but dirty, black or incomplete, such as those in the documentary. The unearthed tri-color horses in the Tang Dynasty lost their tails and a large piece of paint. The carved Buddha has a big hole in his face and his fingers are broken.

These mutilated cultural relics need to be restored before they can be displayed, but if you think these cultural relics should be restored with high-tech scientific instruments, you are wrong. These are all repaired by a group of restorers. After tedious and boring manual repairs, they can be completely renewed and re-displayed. Moreover, restoring cultural relics is not just as simple as restoring their original appearance. Repairers should not only restore the original appearance to the greatest extent, but also use their imagination to repair the missing parts, so it is no exaggeration to say that they are magicians.

? In this documentary, Wang Jin, the most popular watchmaker, is called "the male god" by the fans. For 39 years, he has never changed his job or moved. He is in charge of repairing clocks and watches. Repairing clocks and watches is a repetitive task. Sometimes the place that has just been repaired breaks down the next day because of the change of weather. There are thousands of clocks and watches in the Forbidden City, and a person can't repair them even if he runs out of life. It needs to be handed down from generation to generation, and Master Wang is one of them. Every time they appear, there will be a group of fans shouting their confession.

Master Qu, the repairman of the woodworking group, said casually when carving a wood-carved Buddha statue of Liao and Jin that was almost extinct in China: The ancient people in China paid attention to things, that is, seeing things from themselves and seeing themselves from things. Just like everyone has a different understanding of Buddha. This is also related to people's temperament. So some people carve Buddha statues with sly smiles or lewd smiles. There are also those who are sad.

Look, for restorers, cultural relics are actually the same as people. Different people will make different works.

In their eyes, cultural relics are not inanimate, they are people.

I think this documentary is very attractive because it tells us what the real "ingenuity" is. When we visited the Forbidden City, we skipped a glance at the cultural relics, and the restorers behind it may take years of hard work, which we never knew before. This documentary tells the story of how a group of restorers restored cultural relics. Although the production team and director are young, they also have various shortcomings in shooting techniques, dubbing and post-editing. But it is such a rough documentary that truly shows us a group of people who can "rest assured". If you look closely, you will feel that every ordinary person in this story is shining.

Repairmen who do repair work in the Forbidden City repeat similar work day after day, going to work at eight o'clock every morning and leaving work at five o'clock every morning. There is no high technology. Smoking is forbidden in the Forbidden City. I deal with paste, tree paint and lime every day. Female restorers in the textile group can't wear makeup, perfume or nails, for fear that the fragile cultural relics will be affected during the restoration.

These restorers are actually very ordinary. After going to work every day, the gate of the Forbidden City is closed, and all the noise and noise outside have nothing to do with them. Everyone concentrates on their work wholeheartedly, which seems to be far away from this era of rapid development. Restoring key cultural relics is not only a technology, but also an art. They rely on their own hands to transform thousands of treasures from morning till night. These tasks, which they think are ordinary and can no longer be ordinary, actually mean inheritance and also represent thousands of years of culture and accumulation. It is with these ordinary but secret restorers that they are willing to be lonely and hone their skills, so that we and future generations can have the honor to see the masterpieces of the ancients and inherit the splendid civilization of China for thousands of years.

Although I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City is a documentary, seriously speaking, it is an atypical documentary. The director aimed the camera at some ordinary people engaged in special work under special circumstances, and showed the little-known daily life between restorers and cultural relics in a more grounded way. This documentary has no particularly tall theme, no so-called ideological sublimation, and no feelings of waiting with you from the beginning. On the other hand, in today's domestic TV series, when there are all kinds of dramas, such as tearing devils by hand, fighting in the palace, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the second child storm, you will feel comfortable and can't help feeling that if the miracle has color, it must be China Red after work.

In addition, the director team also contributed to the success of this documentary. It is said that the production team spent five years on-the-spot investigation, went to the Forbidden City to see the restorer's works and get familiar with people. Only the investigation materials have written 6,543,800 words. In order to film these craftsmen, the film crew stayed in the Forbidden City for four months and even went home for dinner with the restorers. Strive to restore the daily life of the masters from work to life. The final effect is also worthy of recognition. Although every master in the Forbidden City is highly skilled, they have no serious and inaccessible faces in the documentary. Even if they treat cultural relics, they are not as timid as we thought. On the contrary, they are full of clouds and light winds, but they are inexplicably reassuring. Their daily life is just like ordinary people and neighbors living around us, and we can be seen everywhere on the road.

For example, the sister of the ceramic group in the film will ride a bike in the empty hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony when she closes on Monday. Narrator: The last person who did this was Pu Yi 100 years ago ... In their spare time, restorers would play with dates or feed cats together.

This contrast makes everyone feel instantly that these restorers engaged in sacred work are not all serious old pedants, but also ordinary people who are close to us.

In the new media era, it is not enough to produce what the audience wants to see, but also to make the audience willing to share and Amway for free. ? Just like China on the Tip of the Tongue, China cuisine is presented to the audience with a relaxed and fast narrative rhythm and exquisite pictures, showing the rich experience accumulated by the people of China and China, the changeable eating habits and unique taste aesthetics, and the oriental life values that have risen to the level of survival wisdom.

It is also gratifying that more and more programs have become popular through traditional culture. The essence, connotation and connotation of the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture are lacking in the fast-food network culture. Internet plus's traditional culture has gradually become as fragrant as instant noodles and boiled water. We like this film because the documentary is very human. The restorer's enthusiasm and love for his profession endows the cultural relics with temperature and soul, so that the cultural relics are no longer cold. The popularity of traditional cultural programs is also an inspiration, reminding us how to treat national culture and how to cherish, appreciate and protect it.

May such a beautiful documentary appear more in our lives.
