The director of "Rattan" shoots fire stories, and lives with firefighters to seek real life of firefighters. 

 

On July 5th, "Fireworks of my heart" was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV dual platforms. 

 

"Fireworks of my heart" is directed by Li Muge, and written by Xu Su, starring Yang Yang, Wang Churan, Wang Yanlin, Wei Daxun, Yang Chaoyue, Zhang Binbin,and other actors. This drama is adapted from the novel "Waiting for You in my city", and tells the story of the head of the fire station Song Yan (Yang Yang) and the new doctor Xu Qin (Wang Churan) having a reunion after ten years break up due to work and eventually get married.

 

 

From the perspective of this drama, the story core is stable, the play is solid, the restore is high, and the main creator has a high aesthetic. On July 7, the screening of "Fireworks of my heart" was held in Beijing., and the edited version was reveal in front of us.

 

Director Li Muge, the director of "Rattan" and "Good Bye, My Princess"is capable of creating visual contrast and beautiful scenes.

 

 

Explosion, Fire Field, Disaster area, the true restoration of front -line rescue stories

 

"Fireworks of my heart" starts with the fire rescue incident in the old community, which brings a lot of shock moments to the audience.

 

The play set up a three-story fire area, and arranged two explosions scenes,  big production brought a strong visual shock to the audience. The shot of Song Yan brought the boy from a thick smoke was impressive. We will be able to sense the intense vibe from the first perspective view of Song Yan's goggles, presenting the psychological ups and downs of the rescuer at the moment of the explosion. The whole scene is very "documentary".

 

During the screening, the invited firefighters introduced that the plot of rescuing the boy was real.

 

 

The TV series also arranged an episode before the actual rescue. After receiving the alarm, the firefighters were blocked by a car in the middle of the road in the alley of about 500 meters from the accident scene. Song Yan immediately led the team to lift the car to the side of the road and rushed to the scene.

 

This detail revealed the common status of the private car occupation of fire rescue access in the community. It can be seen that the exquisiteness of the drama is written, and it also enhances the director’s words in the interview that “we’ve been eat and live with firefighters”. 

 

 

The screening set up the "Q&A" which will be asked by the real firefighter and answered by the main cast. One of them is: "What does the pointer table of the carbon dioxide fire extinguisher safety valve point to the red zone on the left mean?" After a brief discussion of the main casts, Yang Yang answered "The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher has no safety valve!" The answer is correct. This reflects the decent preparation work before the real shoot.

 

When it came to the creative experience, Yang Yang mentioned "After contacting the real fire team, it learned that firefighters not only extinguished the fire, but also rescued the disaster, and even unlocking the door and horses honeycomb." The picture of some Shilitai firefighters in the earthquake was played on the spot, a mess in the ruins under the lens formed an extreme contrast with the bright red of the firefighter's red uniforms.

 

The Light and Faith of the Honorable Profession

 

"Fireworks of my heart" shaped the portrait of the "most beautiful retrograde" who risked their lives to save the wounded. The firefighter team represented by Song Yan seems to be a "death team". In the face of danger, they put their personal safety behind, and put the masses and their property first; Xu Qin and her colleagues think nothing but only rescuing and helping others.

 

 

Song Yan said: "Husband, firefighter; blessing, the peace of the homeland." His wish is for "everyone to be here." Xu Qin said: "We are just ordinary people, not a god." As the daughter,a doctor who was born to a wealthy businessman, she understands the true meaning of "the real meaning of being a doctor". Jiang Yu (Wang Yanlin) said, "I am not here to dawdle." As a rich child, he proved himself to others with actual actions, chasing his dream no matter what happened. Suo Jun (Zhang Binbin) said, "I have never thought of being a deserter." As a partner of Song Yan, he was calm and intimate, and he was responsible for the safety of the war-combat comrades in his work.

 

"Flame" and "Angel" were accepting the real deal together. Whether it is Song Fan who keeps in mind the professional faith, Xu Qin, who was confused at first,or the recruits who did not understand the standards of rigorous training, they all found their responsibility  belonged to themselves.

 

 

This drama has been updated on Mango TV for 10 episodes. From the current plot, it can be learned that Song Yan and Xu Qin met each other at the age of the students, but the disparity of the family background made this short love forced to interrupt.

 

Ten years later, the two met accidentally. This time, Xu Qin was more active, but Song Yan's heart was struggling. He told himself: Xu Qin, you can't break into my life again! But it is still difficult to get rid of his real feeling. How will the two of them bury the hatchet in the next is a highlight. 

 

What surprises will "Fireworks of my heart" still bring to the audience? Stay tune!
