Release time:Jun 24, 2024 17:29 PM

In response to the "Travel with Micro Dramas" creative plan of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Hunan Satellite TV launched a special summer arrangement and cooperated with Mango TV to create a 730 prime-time micro drama theme belt - a sweet summer journey. The micro drama "A Dream of the Stars" is the first episode of this theme belt. Starting from June 24, it will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV from Monday to Thursday at 19:30, and Suzhou News Comprehensive Channel will broadcast it simultaneously.

The play is directed by Pan Yue and Liu Zheng, written by Yin Wenjun, and starred by Xiao Yan, Zhang Jiongmin, etc. It is based on the 30-year development and changes of Suzhou Ancient City and Suzhou Industrial Park, focusing on the theme of "Ancient City Protection and Renewal", telling the story of Zhu Yiran, the inheritor of the Suzhou Fan Intangible Cultural Heritage Project, and Shen Feng, a returned cell anatomy engineer in the ancient city, working together to protect the ancient city and inherit the intangible cultural heritage.

In the scenes of "A Dream of the Starry Sky", the ancient streets are charming, the streets are deep, the flowers fall in the wind, and the water flows. The four "cultural symbols" of Suzhou are integrated into the play: Suzhou gardens, Suzhou embroidery, Suzhou Kunqu opera, and Suzhou Pingtan, integrating intangible cultural heritage into Suzhou life.

As a short play that inherits intangible cultural heritage, the main creative team focused on the two themes of "Su fan making" and "ancient city protection". They not only consulted a large number of professional books and interviewed a group of experts and scholars, but also invited Sheng Chun, Wang Jian, Li Jing, Xu Jiadong, Chen Wen, Yao Huifen and many other intangible cultural heritage inheritors to serve as consultants to ensure professionalism, accuracy and representativeness. In the play, the "Tongye Fan" restored by Zhu Yiran was made by Sheng Chun, a representative inheritor of the Suzhou fan making skills. It is a successful reproduction of the fans collected by the Qing Dynasty court. The three-sided fan that Zhu Yiran gave to Shen Feng is a unique skill of Suzhou fan making. The fan opens three sides, and each side is different. The lines such as "water grinding method of horsetail grass", "sprinkling gold", and "good workers use paste like water" are all exquisite in Suzhou fan making.

The protagonist Shen Feng is an "ancient city cell anatomy engineer" who returned to China to protect the ancient city. When he first started working, he was questioned by the old neighbors in the ancient city that something was wrong. Then he led his team to knock on doors in the ancient streets, visited every household, and interpreted the living code of Soviet-style life. Their work was gradually understood by everyone. In the play, the "fan-shaped public office boundary monument" discovered by Shen Feng's working group was the creative idea of ​​the creative team after repeated research.

This is also a short drama with a high "Suzhou content". The drama is mainly filmed in Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District, and incorporates cultural and tourist attractions such as Suzhou Gardens, Panmen Scenic Area, Tang Yin's Former Residence, and many popular check-in spots such as Oriental Gate, Jinji Lake, and Suzhou Radio and Television Building. Following the lens of "A Dream Pillow Star River", you can get a Suzhou tourism check-in guide that blends ancient and modern times.

It is worth mentioning that in order to better reflect the style and changes of different times, the creative team collected a lot of old materials. In the flashback scene in 1994, the TV broadcast the news that "the Chinese and Singaporean governments signed a memorandum of cooperation to develop industrial parks". Such precious news materials come from the accumulation of Suzhou Radio and Television Media Library. In the flashback scene in 2015, the opening poster of "Eslite Life Suzhou" posted on the wall was reproduced by the creative team based on the poster of that year. As the chief director Pan Yue said: "Su-style new humanistic life embodies a kind of life aesthetics." With the sense of reality, human touch and fireworks of life, Suzhou in "A Dream of Pillow Star River" has really come alive.

"A Dream Under the Stars" has been included in the list of key online dramas filed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and has been selected as a support project of the "Creation and Dissemination of Quality Online Audiovisual Programs" of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, a recommended project of the "Travel with Micro-Short Dramas" creation plan, and a key project of the Jiangsu Province Online Audiovisual Project Library. It is produced by Suzhou Radio and Television Media Group Co., Ltd. and co-produced by Suzhou Radio and Television Media Group Co., Ltd. and Hunan Happy Sunshine Interactive Entertainment Media Co., Ltd.
