　　The four episodes organically combine the four themes of cultural self-confidence, high-quality development, people-centered and community of human destiny, which are logically related to each other.

　　"What is Chinese-style modernization" and "Why can the rule of China break the uniqueness of the western modernization model and create a new form of human civilization"? The director group throws out these issues that have attracted much attention one by one, and calmly explains them. This brand-new shooting technique has abandoned the scripted and sit tight, which are common in traditional documentaries, and attracted wide attention from international audiences.

　　Berta Nelson, an overseas netizen, said in her comments, "I am glad to see that China people attach importance to their own culture and long history. Bless your innovation, because you have entered your own unique world view, abandoned the western point of view, and watched the operation of the universe from your own lens. There are many breakthroughs in energy, roads and consciousness waiting for you. Treat the suffering of the world with sympathy and point out the way forward for us. Don’t be intimidated by hegemonic threats. Soon it will dry up and be blown away, and you will be in a new world! "

　　Trace the origin: Starting from the cradle of China civilization

　　Respectfully respond to the 5,000-year civilization

　　What is the source of China people’s national self-confidence? What has enabled China people to stand today despite numerous changes? This is the question thrown in the first episode of the documentary.

　　The first episode "Come on, Cool Up" does not show the symbolic meaning of China culture to the world, but focuses on the young people who are inspired by history and culture and inherit it. The young people in China in the film not only lament the beauty of traditional culture, but also make the traditional culture of China endless by recreating ancient music, carrying forward national customs and innovating national customs, and send out the pious response of young people in the new era to the ancient blood.

　　The director group adjusted the focal length and recorded the process of restoring the tune of Xin Qiji’s "Broken Fighter, Giving Zhuang Ci to Chen Tongfu as a souvenir" by Henan Provincial Museum, senior armor restorer and Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theatre. With full cultural consciousness and self-confidence, the creative team combined traditional cultural elements, such as ancient musical instruments, ancient melody, ancient dance and armor, into a single MV work, recreated the singing of the Song Dynasty in a modern and fashionable way, and performed international art exhibition and popular science dissemination on China ancient music. Only MV has achieved over 2 million overseas broadcasts.

　　△ The creative team cooperated with Henan Provincial Museum and Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theatre to read the classics and restore the tunes of Song Ci.

　　In addition to the modernization of western style, there is a second way here.

　　With the spiritual strength inherited from our history, China is on the road of modernization. Modernization is a necessary step in every country’s development, but how to realize modernization is a headache for many developing countries.

　　Copying the western model of acclimatization seems to have become an unspoken consensus of the international community, and many close neighbors and distant friends are eagerly looking forward to new solutions.

　　△ The second episode "Money, there is a better way to earn"

　　"Great Determination" did not continue the grand narrative and achievement tour of traditional political films, but led the audience all the way north along Shenzhen, Hefei and Erdos in a popular science-style typed packaging and speculative discourse, revealing the geek life behind lidar and autonomous driving, and telling the professional ingenuity of female engineers behind quantum technology. Through many cases of scientific and technological progress, such as the "artificial sun" rising in the science laboratory and the development of Hefei city, this paper summarizes the successful password of "Hefei model" — — That is, through a promising government to build an effective market, foster innovative technology and cultivate more talents. "Don’t export China model, only provide China experience and scheme", which is a shallow footnote lying next to the answer.

　　Establish a "people-centered" narrative system of China’s values,

　　Pass on the concept of "community of human destiny" to the world

　　The documentary takes the universal and topical topics of medical insurance, police and women around the world as the entry point, and deeply expresses the core advantages of "the rule of China" by leveraging its strength.

　　The director group recorded the whole process of a drug price negotiation, which completely changed the fate of the families of two children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). How did a college student police officer spend 12 years propping up the whole community? How did a rural female teacher change the fate of children in the mountain village with patience and warmth under the background of getting rid of poverty?

　　China’s domestic development is for the people, so where is the value judgment of China’s cooperation and investment with the world?

　　Still for the benefit of the local people.

　　When a major crisis comes, from the Nepalese earthquake to the Serbian epidemic, the China aid team and the medical team are in action;

　　When other countries are looking for a prosperous road, China has grown together with Africa and the Middle East with the advanced experience of the "Belt and Road" infrastructure construction and digital economy;

　　When all mankind is facing the difficult problems of climate change and ecological diversity protection, China is attracting forces at home and abroad to work together to protect our common earth home.

　　These seemingly ambitious goals will bring changes to specific individuals in each country. Faith, a single mother in Kenya, told her story. The opening of the Inner Mongolia Railway has set up a warm road home for her and her daughter who live apart from each other, and also brought her a better career and a better life.

　　The episode received positive comments from netizens in developing countries, and Nguyen Minh Quan, a Vietnamese netizen, said, "(This railway) has been built very well. Americans bring artillery shells, while China brings railways. "

　　African netizen winifred ba said, "Long live the Communist Party of China (CPC); This is an inspiration to those who long for peace, prosperity and collective happiness. We Africans must work with our brothers and sisters in China to contribute to world peace. "

　　Voice innovation strengthens young people’s perspective Lead by technology Effectively enhance the interest and recognition of overseas young audiences for the development of China.

　　The creative team of "Great Determination" brings the young people’s perspective and brand-new voice into the theme setting, picture editing, manuscript creation, video shooting and many other aspects of the documentary, and reflects the interest orientation of overseas audiences, especially young audiences, through the perspective of Z generation.

　　The film has changed the way of "keeping a straight face" in the past, using diversified, creative and lightweight audio-visual language, which has narrowed the sense of distance of serious theme documentaries and better hit the acceptance habits of young online users around the world. On the one hand, documentary materials are widely used, and the ratio of original materials to film materials is as high as 200:1, and various technical means such as crossing machine, old frog, shed shooting and special effects are comprehensively used to create the ultimate picture texture. On the other hand, visual means serve narrative, introducing the changes in China in a simple way by vivid data visualization means, showing the context of urban development by means of investigation and interview, and copying the daily work and subtle psychological changes of the protagonist in the form of a diary.

　　△ Image language of film texture

　　△ Show an era of China Z generation growth through animation.

　　Therefore, the story of China told in the documentary has been affirmed by a large number of overseas netizens. Netizen "esplace3023" commented, "This is a great documentary. Many westerners like us who have lived in China outside Shanghai and Beijing for some time know that the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China have made great efforts to improve people’s lives. China has too much complexity, which is very different from western countries, so it is difficult for westerners to understand. But we should try to understand, not listen to the so-called China threat theory imagined by experts, and label everything as political propaganda. I wish China can move on, because China’s achievements have made our world a better place and brought hope to people in many developing and poor countries. "

　　Netizen Ricardo Avila paulette left a message, "I’m impressed. This is a group of young, compassionate, kind people with long-term goals. This reminds me of what I saw about China’s space program. These young people are not the pioneers of these projects, but they may see the results; Future generations will reap fruitful results from it. "

　　Netizen ramli left a message, "When asked about US sanctions, a young wonder woman said ‘ Proud ’ This is an amazing moment. Cheer for these smart young China women. "

　　Today, when the world pattern is full of agitation and tearing, Great Determination records the great changes and brilliant achievements in the new era in the past ten years with solid and sincere brushwork, and also conveys the Chinese plan and China wisdom to the world with novel content, diverse perspectives and colorful ways. As we embark on a new journey, we will draw strength from history, concentrate on development, be fearless of difficulties and tests, coordinate material civilization with spiritual civilization, and open up a new world in harmony between man and nature.
