Creative background

The film’s chief producer Zhang Yimou, chief director Ning Hao and chief planner Zhang Yibai found several ideas during the process of discussing the story of each unit. Keywords: change, space and little people. Thousands of households have changed due to comprehensive moderate prosperity and targeted poverty alleviation, and this change covers the entire geographical space of China, so the story is set in the five geographical spaces of China's east, west, south, north, and middle to present the stories of little people.

Five groups of directors received tasks respectively: Yan Fei and Peng Damo, as representatives of Northeast comedy, naturally chose to create stories in Shenyang, Liaoning; Xu Zheng, as a Shanghainese, went to Hangzhou Qiandao Lake for filming; Yu Baimei, as Xi'an He and his partner Deng Chao returned to northern Shaanxi; only Chen Sicheng, a northeasterner, volunteered to go to Guizhou in the southwest.

Ning Hao continued the method of telling the story of little people in Beijing in "My Motherland and Me", and Ge You played "Zhang Beijing" again without even changing the hat he was wearing.

The story of the "Beijing Good People" section comes from the experience of an elder relative from Ning Hao's hometown who came to Beijing to see a doctor. Ning Hao's relatives didn't know what kind of disease he had at first, and they were particularly afraid. First, they were worried that the disease would be serious, and second, they were afraid that they would not be able to pay for the surgery. Ning Hao advised her not to be anxious and to do the surgery first, and the money problem could be solved for her.

Afterwards, Ning Hao discovered that the relationship between the two of them, which was originally equal and pure, became very strange when it came to money issues. After the operation, Ning Hao's relative's daughter said that the rural medical insurance card can be reimbursed, and the operation fee of tens of thousands of yuan can basically cover more than 80%. At this time, Ning Hao clearly felt that his relative was relieved, "I feel like she has returned to the life of her elders." location".

This incident deeply touched Ning Hao. He did not expect that rural medical insurance could reach this level. It is indeed a hard thing done by the government, so I wanted to tell a short story from this perspective. In order to In line with the setting of a comedy, I made an identity swap design and took someone else's medical insurance card to see a doctor.
