用影像講述麗水山鄉致富故事

雷曉燕 楊世丹

麗水，是浙江面積最大的地級市，也是浙江典型的山區，九山半水半分田。

在麗水山區，活躍著一群普通人，他們跋山涉水，深入山村，用影像記錄山區共同致富的故事，向人們講述山民共同致富的夢想。

今年春節剛過，浙江星耀文化團隊開始策劃如何跟蹤拍攝沿坑嶺頭村美麗鄉村建設的故事。這項工作，他們已經持續了7年。

沿坑嶺頭村，是松陽縣楓坪鄉一個古老而又安詳的小村莊。2012年，麗水職業技術學院副教授、油畫家，沿坑嶺頭村指導員、第一書記李躍亮以藝術助力鄉村振興。如今，村莊每年吸引畫家、高校藝術生、游客近3萬人次，村民年增收300余萬元。2015年起，“星耀文化”自籌經費，每年都在記錄沿坑嶺頭村的發展腳步，記錄一個瀕臨謝幕的村落如何一步步走向共同富裕。

“從沒想過有生之年能走上金雞電影節的紅毯，從沒想過有生之年自己的作品能在大銀幕上出現。”兩個“從沒想過”，為“尋回”的2021年畫上了圓滿的句號。

尋回，真名鄭振華，蓮都人。2021年12月30日，他從第34屆中國電影金雞獎頒獎現場，捧回了金雞獎組委會頒發的獲獎證書——他的動畫短片《與夢想一起，活下去》被評為第二屆新影像 · 手機電影計劃優秀作品。

和他一樣，在麗水還有很多通過影像講故事的追夢人。這群追夢人頂著星光，跋山涉水拍攝、制作、講述麗水山鄉致富的故事，向全國乃至全球傳遞正能量。

夢想，讓他們心有沃土千畝

在麗水市電影家協會主席吳小東看來，無論是動畫短片、短視頻和微電影，都可以統稱為微電影。就像2021年的麗水市第八屆微電影大賽，也把短視頻列入其中進行評比。

微電影又叫小電影，時長一般不超20分鐘;而大電影是時長一兩個小時的電影，比如我們在電影院看的電影，就是大電影。

每個熱愛用影像講故事的麗水人，都有自己的夢想。他們都很想把麗水人創業創新，麗水人的夢想，尤其是山區的鄉村振興用影像表現出來，讓全國觀眾、全世界觀眾能了解麗水。

鄭振華，1983年出生，現在麗水一家企業從事宣傳工作。他一直喜歡并堅持寫作，“希望自己的作品被拍成電影，給很多人帶去感動和力量”。

2017年10月，他突發疾病，手術后傷口一直無法愈合，身體每況愈下，體重一度降至40公斤。到了當年年底，自感時日無多，忍著病痛折磨，躺在病床上按院線90分鐘片長創作故事，想最后為夢想努力一次。

他告訴筆者，這樣做，既是為了圓此生的電影夢，也是為了回報父母的養育之恩，感謝親朋好友對他的關愛和照顧，“給他們留個念想”。

2018年2月，鄭振華輾轉至杭州求醫，最終被確診為罕見病克羅恩癥。查明病因，也就有了對癥的治療方法和藥物，身體慢慢恢復。

在這個過程中，他一邊求醫、接受治療，一邊學習制作電影的每道工序的技能，從故事劇本寫作、粘土人物制作、場景搭建，到拍攝、后期、音效等。到2018年5月病假結束時，他已基本掌握制作電影的整體技能，作品也告成型。

鄭振華說，如果不是夢想支撐著，他也不會走得這么遠。

與夢想奔跑的，還有很多人。

葉昕飛從業多年，堅持從一名麗水人的視角，拍攝、講述麗水人的好故事，夢想著把麗水好故事搬上大銀幕。眼下，他正在創作一部講述革命戰爭年代地下女交通員的劇本。“希望能找到投資方，拍成大電影，進入院線，將麗水好故事告訴更多的人。”他說。

在新的一年，浙江星耀文化有限公司負責人蔣欣和導演陳維健時常聚在一起，商量著2022年在拍攝好微電影的基礎上，嘗試拍攝數字大電影或者網絡大電影，一點點一步步向著大電影的夢想進發。

蓮都區“90后”李晉大學畢業后，放棄考公務員，進入麗水的影視行業。從最基本的拍攝、剪輯開始，慢慢地學著寫劇本、當導演，“全身心投入，希望今年能拍出好作品。”

……

與夢想前行，他們心有沃土千畝。

堅持，為了心中的那份情懷

吳小東介紹，麗水現有上百家影視公司和工作室，其中光市區就是70家左右。2021年，從麗水市第八屆微電影大賽參賽作品來看，大部分是影視公司和工作室為職能部門或單位制作的宣傳片。當然，這也成為他們最主要的經濟來源之一。

拋去為了生計所作的努力，麗水用影像講故事的人心中還是有所堅守的。

5年前，“星耀文化”出過一個公益短紀錄片《畫家 · ???村——沿坑嶺頭村的致富之路》，講述松陽縣楓坪鄉沿坑嶺頭村的鄉村振興之路。為了達到理想的拍攝效果，兩年時間里，攝制組20多次來到沿坑嶺頭村拍攝，最終拿出了這部長達12分鐘的片子。

蔣欣介紹說，沿坑嶺頭村比較偏遠，從麗水市區到村里，開車要兩三個小時才能到。等到了目的地，全體攝制組起早摸黑，星月兼程，只為拍到滿意的鏡頭。

“《畫家 · 村》其實沒有投資方，都是我們自發拍攝的。在我們看來，該村是藝術助推鄉村振興的成功案例。接下來，我們還會繼續投資，繼續跟蹤拍攝，講好麗水鄉村振興之路的典范。”他說。

這樣的“傻事”，在2020年初的時候，“星耀文化”也干過。

2020年初，新冠肺炎疫情席卷而來，武漢封城，百業停擺。待在家里的陳維健自編自導自彈自唱，和朋友、同事一起制作了《一定能贏》《花開 · 無言》等5部公益作品，為醫護人員喝彩，為抗擊疫情加油。

陳維健說：“我們有情懷，也有自己的堅持。除了高質量完成任務，我們還會做一點公益，承擔社會責任，為真善美、為時代點贊喝彩。”

鄭振華也在堅持。

2020年，他看到消息，說中國電影金雞獎組委會專門開設了“手機電影計劃”單元，向全球征集電影短片。根據要求，他在原先的動畫長片基礎上，利用周末做成一部8分鐘短片，并發送給組委會。

在筆者看來，《與夢想一起，活下去》絕對是部超低成本的微電影。

粘土是從網上購物平臺花了10多元買來的，“人物是自己捏的，標準是能看出性別就行”;道具基本來自家里柴火間的廢品，如鞋盒、吸管、三合板、塑料仿真植物等;燈光，用臺燈蒙上糖紙，就有了色彩和光影;買不起攝像機，就用手機代替;配音，是AI合成的……

最后呈現的作品，采用粘土定格動畫的形式，講述了一名少年為追求夢想只身外出闖蕩的故事。少年遇到了三位和自己一樣歷經磨難卻仍堅持夢想的人，經歷無數次失敗后，許多人放棄了，但少年依然執著地追尋著夢想，直到他累倒在工作臺前。

2021年初，作品完成。在署名上，鄭振華給自己起了個“藝名”：尋回。

“‘尋回’的意義是不忘初心、不忘過往。在成長過程中，因為欲望與物質誘惑，很多人容易迷失自己。我希望將來能夠通過創作，大力傳承、發揚我們優秀的傳統文化和民族特色。”

收獲，追夢人的幸福源泉和目標

收獲，總是在情理之中、意料之外。

去年10月，鄭振華接到通知，說他的作品入圍了，并邀請他參加頒獎儀式。據了解，這一屆金雞獎“手機電影計劃”向全球征集到了4800多部作品，是上一屆的15倍。通過層層篩選，最終評出37部入圍作品。入圍作品中，像他這樣單槍匹馬且超低成本制作的作品，還是唯一一部。

在電影節舉辦地廈門，他享受了明星般的待遇：專車接送，平生第一次走了明星常走的紅毯，第一次在大布景墻上簽下自己的名字。接著，領獎、開座談會，聆聽中國電影導演協會會長、著名導演李少紅談電影創作……“收獲滿滿。”他高興地說。

鄭振華介紹說，“90多歲的外婆看了我的作品和榮譽證書，說了一句‘挺了不起的’。這是自外公走后，外婆最開心的一次。”

迎來收獲的，還有很多影視公司和工作室。

在過去的2021年，《畫家 · 村——沿坑嶺頭村的致富之路》《鄉村機長》《秘密交通站》等多部微電影獲得國家、省級相關比賽大獎。

而葉昕飛在去年12月迎來了麗水本土大電影《等待秋沙鴨》的公映。他在這部講述堅守在松陰溪邊的護鳥志愿者和他兒子尋找“國寶”中華秋沙鴨的故事中擔任監制。

看著為之付出努力的大電影公映，他欣喜中又滿懷期待——2022年，他擔任制片人、編劇和導演的大電影《我們的村莊》已經送審，期待今年能拿到公映許可證“龍標”，實現自己的大電影夢。

“90后”追夢人李晉經過3年多的歷練，收獲了成長。他說，從編劇的角度來說，樂趣在于塑造了有血有肉的人物，并讓他們“游走”于故事之間，歷經成長，直面挑戰，并能啟迪一些思考;從拍攝現場的角度而言，樂趣在于戲比天大，體驗與享受角色帶來的心境與思考，創造讓人信服的環境和細節，以及考量現場的方方面面，包括應對突發情況。“一群小伙伴心往一處想，力往一處使，也是彌足珍貴的美好記憶。”李晉如是說。

站在2022年的起點上，麗水這群用影像講故事的人又開始“趕考”、追夢。

就像鄭振華對筆者說的，當時把《與夢想一起，活下去》當成“最后一個作品”，現在倒是成了一個“新起點”，激勵他更好地活下去、創作下去，“能夠通過創作，給別人的人生帶去一點正能量，這也是我此生最大的幸福”。

這，也是其他追夢人的幸福源泉和目標。

Telling Stories of Rural Revitalization through Films： Common Prosperity in Lishui

By Lei Xiaoyan ?Yang Shidan

“Never did I dream I would be on the red carpet of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival， and never did I dream that my work would appear on the big screen，” said “Xun Hui”.

“Xun Hui” is the stage name of Zheng Zhenhua， from Liandu District in Lishui city. On December 30， 2021， he won the 34th China Film Golden Rooster Award， one of the most prestigious film awards in China， for his animated short film Live for Your Dreams.

Born in 1983， Zheng works for an enterprise in Lishui. He loves writing. “My dream is that my words will be made into films and touch people，” he said.

In October 2017， Zheng suddenly became ill. After operation， the wound did not fully heal， and his weight dropped to 40kg. But he remained driven by his desire to produce films. Even while lying in bed and in great pain， knowing that his time was not long， he still worked on a script for a 90-minute film.

It was not only to fulfill his own dreams， but also to pay back his parents for raising him and to thank his relatives and friends for their love and care. “I wanted to leave something for them to remember me after I was gone.” In February 2018， Zheng was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease， a very rare disease. With a clear diagnosis， he gradually recovered after targeted treatment.

It was during this period， while visiting doctors and receiving treatment， that he began to learn the skills required for producing a film， such as script writing， making clay characters and sound effects， most of which he had mastered by the end of his sick leave in May 2018. Zheng said that if it weren’t for this dream， he wouldn’t have gone that far.

In 2020， he saw the news that the Golden Rooster Award set up a “Mobile Film” category， opening to short films from all over the world. He made an 8-minute short film， and sent it to the organizing committee. His work won out among the 4，800 submissions.

“When my 90-year-old grandma watched the film and saw the award certificate， she said ‘I am proud of you！’” Zheng said. “This was her happiest moment since grandpa passed away.”

Live For Your Dreams is undoubtedly an ultra-low-cost micro film.

The clay was bought online for less than 20 yuan. All the clay characters were made by himself. Props were basically made from domestic wastes， such as shoeboxes， straws， plywood pieces， plastic simulated plants. As for lighting， the lamp was covered with candy wrappers to create the effect of colors and shades. The mobile phone camera was used to take the place of professional film cameras. And dubbing was synthesized by AI ....

The final work came out in the form of stop-motion clay animation， telling the story of how a boy pursued his dream on his own. He met three other friends who， like him， wanted to pursue their dreams after going through various hardships. The others gave up at last after being defeated time after time. He was the one who persisted until he collapsed at his workbench.

The micro film was completed at the beginning of 2021， signed with his stage name—“Xun Hui”.

“Xun Hui means ‘staying true to the original aspiration and never forgetting the past’. In the process of growing up， many people are likely to get lost in various desires and material temptations. I hope more Chinese people will pass on the traditional Chinese culture after watching my works.”

In Lishui， there are a lot of aspiring film makers like Zheng who are pursuing their dreams and long to tell their stories through motion pictures. Indeed， many filmmakers specifically focus on rural revitalization in this area and regale audiences from both home and abroad with touching stories.

Ye Xinfei is one of them. Ye has been working on filming for many years. He insists on shooting and telling the good stories of Lishui people from the perspective of a local person， dreaming to taking them to the big screen one day. At present， he is writing a script about a female underground messenger during the revolutionary war. “Hopefully， I can find investors to make it into a big film to be played in the cinema， and share the good stories of Lishui with more people，” he said.

Li Jin， a “post-90s” （born in the 1990s） from Liandu district， entered the film and television industry in Lishui after graduating from university， instead of taking the civil service examination. He started his filmmaking dream from the most basic work， such as shooting and editing， to script writing and directing. “I am devoted to it， and hopefully I can produce good works this year.”

Since 2015， Zhejiang Xingyao Culture Media has been recording the metamorphosis of Yankenglingtou — a remote village in Lishui’s Songyang county — from being almost deserted to an icon of heritage culture and common prosperity. Five years ago， the company released a short documentary titled Village Painters： The Way to Get Rich in Yankenglingtou. In order to achieve the ideal shooting effect， the film crew visited to the village more than 20 times in two years， before they finally presented this 12-minute film.

Jiang Xin， head of the company， said that since it is a remote village， about two to three hours’ drive from the city center， in the two years of filming， the crew often worked from dawn to dusk， in order to get a satisfactory effect.

“In fact， this documentary was produced without any investors. But it was worthwhile， for this is a successful example of rural revitalization boosted by art. We will continue our investment and follow up the shooting， showcasing the models of rural revitalization in Lishui，” he added. Nowadays， the village attracts over 30，000 artists and tourists each year. The annual income of the villagers has increased by more than 3 million yuan. And together with Chen Weijian， the director， Jiang and his crew are still following up on the story of the village.

Such a “thankless effort” is not the only case for Chen， Jiang and their team.

In early 2020 when COVID-19 hit Wuhan， the whole city was locked down. Staying at home writing， directing， singing and playing musical instruments， Chen produced five public benefit musical works， including Be Sure to Win and Blooming in Silence， to cheer for the medical workers and the fight against the epidemic.

Chen said， “We have both passion and commitment to our dreams. In addition to finishing our daily work with high quality， we also do non-profit projects and undertake social responsibilities， to cheer for the goodness and beauty in our times.”

In fact， Lishui is home to hundreds of film and television companies and studios， including about 70 in the city area， according to Wu Xiaodong， chairman of Lishui Filmmakers’ Association. They have accomplished a lot as well. In 2021， a number of micro films including Village Painters： The Way to Get Rich in Yankenglingtou， Country Captain and Underground Communication Station， among others， won many national or provincial awards.

In December last year， Ye saw the release of his film Meet the Mergansers. It tells the story of how a bird protection volunteer and his son kept searching for the mergansers which are rare.

Seeing the release of his big film that he had worked hard for， he was in delightful expectation— in 2022， Our Village， in which he has served as the producer， screenwriter and director， has been submitted for review. He is looking forward to getting the official release license this year to live up to his “big film” dream.

Li， the post-90s dreamer， has grown a lot after three years’ working experience. He found pleasure in different roles. As a screenwriter， it is fun to create those characters with flesh and blood， letting them live in his stories， experiencing growth， meeting challenges， and inspiring others to think. As for working on the scene， the fun lies in the spirit of devotion to art， totally absorbed in the state of mind of the characters， creating convincing environment and details， as well as taking everything into consideration and coping with unexpected situations. “It is a precious memory for a group of people to work together for the same film-making dream，” he said.

At the beginning of 2022， with their films， this group of Lishui storytellers are making a new start， embarking on the way to pursue their dreams against all kinds of challenges.

Zheng once considered Living for Your Dreams as “his last work”， but now it has turned into “a starting point”， encouraging him to live better and create more works. “Being able to bring some positive energy to others through my works is the source of great happiness in my life.”

This is also the source of happiness and goal of other dream pursuers in Lishui.
