"Before watching: just a short play; After reading it: what a big pattern. "

In the interactive comment area between Mango TV and Tik Tok, netizens praised the story of "The Princess Comes Home" one after another, and were moved and resonated with the small characters in the short play.

The mini-drama "Princess Please Go Home" jointly produced by Mango TV and Tik Tok is being broadcast on dual platforms, which opens a new perspective of cultural narrative and tells a touching story of "Panda Going Home" in the collision between ancient and modern times through a meeting that spans thousands of years. Dream back to Chang ‘an in the story of "Kissing the Princess" a thousand years ago, and visit Xi ‘an again in the live story of "Panda Princess" now. During the light and shadow circulation, the Millennium cultural heritage and humanistic features of the ancient city of Xi ‘an are also presented in a different way with the unique rhythm of the mini-drama.

Open your eyes, the short play also has great feelings.

"Princess Please Go Home" collides with a different story of "Princess Go Home" in two eras through the staggered narration of ancient and modern time and space-Zheng Ji, a soldier thousands of years ago.(leading actor)On the way back to Chang ‘an, I accidentally crossed to modern times, and Yuanjia, who wanted to take Princess Panda home.(heroine)Meet, in the process of oolong, the two stories of "taking the princess home" have a parallel vein in the opposite direction …

Panda and princess seem to have nothing to do, but they have similar significance to Yuanjia and Zheng Ji. Yuanjia regards the commitment to grandpa, the panda keeper, as a mission, and strives to get the opportunity to become a self-media blogger, hoping to welcome the return of "Panda Princess" who has gone abroad for grandpa for the first time; For Zheng Ji, it is his lifelong mission to take back the princess and defend his country. In the intertextuality of time and space, the panda and the princess are skillfully connected, and the drama outlines a two-way growth line in the story of picking up the princess, conveying the responsibility of young people of different times in the delicate place.

In the story of "the princess goes home", which is compared between ancient and modern times, the feelings of home and country are also rendered.

In the play, Zheng Ji’s cherishment of the military flag and his comrades-in-arms, his yearning for Chang ‘an, and his persistent belief in taking the princess back to the DPRK are all the righteous feelings of his home country. When Yuan Jia asked him why he devoted his life to the imaginary Chang ‘an, he said that the frontier life was desolate and boring, but the poems and songs in Chang ‘an city could cross the barren hills and desert, and let the border soldiers know that with their guarding the people, they could live an ordinary and happy life, which was enough. This collision of values is just the flash of the story. Among them, the touching stories of Zheng Ji, the North Army squad and other small people who gave up their lives to protect their country and defend their country have the power to travel through time and space.

Under the strong emotional resonance, there is also a deep concern for reality. The story line of Yuanjia’s "Panda Coming Home" just fits the high-profile event of "Panda Coming Home" at present. Nowadays, more and more panda messengers go abroad to convey the belief of peace and friendship, and they have gained thousands of favors from foreign countries. The Princess Please Go Home is also a new attempt to dig deep into the panda theme. With programs such as Pangda Live Room, Panda Family and Panda Narrative broadcast by Mango TV, the panda story is told from multiple perspectives.

A good short play begins with a good story, and it is inseparable from a good idea. Last year, the popularity of Escape from the British Museum, a mini-short play, triggered a heated discussion about the return of cultural relics, which helped the creation of mini-short plays to open up a wider field of vision. Princess Please Go Home, through a different story of "Princess Go Home", connects the past with the present, reflects the home and the country, and makes another innovative practice in the theme mining and practical significance exploration of miniseries. On top of the heavy core, the light comedy expression makes the story more interesting and interesting.

Micro-short drama+literary travel, the story can be refreshing.

The Notice of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television on Developing the Creative Plan of "Traveling with Miniature Plays" points out several directions for the creators, including the presentation of famous historical and cultural cities. Among the two narrative lines in Princess Please Go Home, one is Chang ‘an in ancient times, and the other is Xi ‘an in present time. The combination of reality and reality has opened up a refreshing narrative field in the ancient city of Xi ‘an.

In the narrative of ancient lines, Chang ‘an is responsible for opening the blank space of magnificent imagination. In the play, the beauty of Chang ‘an’s flourishing age is outlined by the beautiful yearning for Chang ‘an by the seven-member squad of Shuofang Army. Most of the scenes of this squad, whose mission is to "pick up the princess and go home", took place outside the Great Wall where the desert is lonely and smoky. They have never been to Chang ‘an in armor. For them, Chang ‘an is prosperous and magnificent, and it is a destination that needs unlimited imagination to reach. The imagination of ancient Chang ‘an is just the emotional point connecting the audience. In recent years, there are many descriptions of ancient Chang ‘an in film and television works, such as The Longest Day In Chang’an who deconstructed the structure of Chang ‘an 108 Square, and The Three Wan Li of Chang ‘an, which are extremely magnificent and romantic, all of which expand the audience’s imagination of the ancient capital Chang ‘an. Based on the characteristics of miniseries, The Princess Please Go Home gives up the magnificent scene, but extends the space and story to Chang ‘an by the imagination of ancient soldiers for delicious food such as Chinese hamburger, which is kind, concrete and beautiful.

In the narrative of the modern line, Xi ‘an is the place where the story takes place, blending the beauty of the past and the present, and building a dialogue space combining the virtual and the real. In the play, the landmark buildings in Xi ‘an, such as the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Shaanxi History Museum and Datang City that Never Sleeps, are presented in front of the audience. Ingeniously, "Princess Please Go Home" designed the real scene as a space of "dialogue between reality and reality"-in the street scene of "Flower Market Lights Like Day", people who have casual clothes and costumes in the Tang Dynasty have a dialogue between ancient and modern; There is a collision exchange between "ancient man" and "modern woman", which is a dialogue between crossing and realism; What’s more, the blending of the ancient capital Chang ‘an and the present Xi ‘an is a dialogue between historical details and humanistic charm.

The gap between intensive presentation and imagination is a fresh and interesting perspective of "micro-short drama+literary travel", which also happens to buckle the rhythm and temperament of micro-short drama.

On the one hand, it is an iterative and upgraded traditional literary tour, and on the other hand, it is a continuous new micro-short drama. The combination of the two is opening a new world of promoting tourism through literature. At the same time, miniseries are also telling new stories of the industry. Princess Please Go Home is a work broadcast after Hunan Radio and Television upgraded the miniseries to the group strategy, and its characteristics, quality and communication effect have attracted much attention from all parties. This work is also the first miniseries jointly produced by Mango and Tik Tok. It is a powerful combination of two miniseries platforms. The large and small screen linkage broadcast injects new vitality and kinetic energy into the platform matrix. As of August 5th, "Princess Please Go Home" has been played over 56 million times in Mango TV station, over 30 million times in Tik Tok feature film and nearly 70 million times in Tik Tok main topic.

Professional platforms and institutions continue to "leave the scene" and jointly "leave the scene", so that the specialization and quality of micro-short plays are constantly accelerated, giving more solutions to "good stories" and inciting the new kinetic energy of "traveling with micro-short plays".
