When mentioning the academician of China Academy of Engineering, I believe most people will associate it with high-end precision experiments and innovative and rigorous scientific research papers, but Academician Zhu wrote his "thesis" on the vast loess land of the motherland.
Academician Zhu in real life
The film "Academician Farmer" was shot with Academician Zhu as the prototype, and it is also another heroic model work with the main theme jointly created by Jiang Xiaorong, producer and director of "Glory Group". The film focuses on poverty alleviation through science and technology, and it is a masterpiece that promotes the spirit of example and pays tribute to the model of the times.
Today (October 24th) at 20:15, the film channel will broadcast Academician Farmer for the first time. Let’s "read" the "paper" written by Academician Zhu Youyong on the earth.
The life of academic leaders in the countryside
As the prototype of this biographical film, Academician Zhu Youyong is a real academic tycoon.
He has published more than 160 papers in academic journals at home and abroad, such as Nature, and the cumulative promotion area of his research and development technology is as high as 100 million mu.
How to shape this knowledgeable model of the times in the form of film art has become the biggest problem for director and starring Yu Rongguang. In order to make the characters in the film more real and full, many bumpy storylines are designed in the film.

For example, Academician Zhu, who had just arrived in Haozhiba village, was a stranger and was provoked by local villagers when he held the first village mobilization meeting. He worked hard to find out that the soil in the village is very suitable for planting potatoes, but no villagers are willing to listen to him and try.
The difficulties did not overwhelm Academician Zhu. In order to show his "grounding gas", the film designed a "drinking competition" between academicians and villagers.
Academician Zhu opened the hearts of the villagers in a very contrasting way. When the usually gentle academician unscrewed the bottle cap and drank heavily, the straightforward character won the trust of the villagers for the first time.
In the following days, Academician Zhu took the initiative to learn the local Lahu language, and applied it to the training class. He devoted himself to the fields, the masses and the local villagers.
At the end of the film, Academician Zhu won the trust of the whole village with his true heart, and successfully achieved accurate poverty alleviation with his own science and technology to help Haozhiba Village grow potatoes.
It is worth mentioning that the whole film "Farmer Academician" was filmed in Lancang County, Pu ‘er, Yunnan Province. The audience can not only feel the progress and development of the cause of getting rid of poverty in the film, but also enjoy the magnificent natural scenery and simple customs of Yunnan with focus plane.
In the play, there is love outside the play.
Academician Zhu once said in an interview: "Poverty is a disease, and it can no longer be passed on to children", and rural revitalization is "giving it to fishing", fundamentally removing the hat of poverty, so that generations, children and grandchildren can learn to work hard to get rich, because "the change of people is the hope".
The film "Farmer Academician" shows the epitome of Qian Qian’s tens of thousands of agricultural science and technology workers in tackling poverty.
In reality, Academician Zhu Youyong has long been rooted in the front line of poverty alleviation in Lancang County, Yunnan Province, and actively applied his own scientific research achievements to the cause of precision poverty alleviation. Because of its outstanding achievements in poverty alleviation, it was awarded the title of "Model of the Times" and "National Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation" in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
In addition to the touching story presented in the film, there are also many warm-hearted stories in the filming process.
"Farmer Academician" shooting scene
Yu Rongguang recalled the scene where Lahu villagers bid farewell to Academician Zhu Youyong. "When we filmed, we invited 100 extras, and as a result, 3,000 people came. They all spontaneously took the chicken, bacon and wine at home and sang songs to bid farewell. That song is called "I can’t bear to part with it". How high the water is and how long the land is, I can’t bear to let you go. This is a simple song, and they are singing there. "
The Farmer Academician, which carries forward the spirit of the times and shows China’s style, has also been unanimously recognized by industry experts:
As a director and starring role, Yu Rongguang has created many classic roles in previous film and television dramas.
For example, playing the villain Fu Guang in a film with him.

In an interview with China Film Report, Yu Rongguang, who plays Academician Zhu, admitted that he felt a great responsibility.
Because on the set, Academician Zhu stood by the camera, and it was extremely challenging to perform directly in front of the prototype of the movie characters.
In order to truly restore Academician Zhu’s daily life, all the storylines in the film are extracted from Academician Zhu’s real experience, and then artistically processed; Sometimes, even in order to create a more three-dimensional character, the real story is directly added to the film intact.
Yu Rongguang made no secret of his admiration for the academician Zhu he played: "He once gave up the generous treatment abroad and returned to work, and went to the frontier to help the poor through science and technology in his sixties. He stayed for more than five years and gave his scientific research results selflessly to the people."
Today, although Academician Zhu has already left Haozhiba Village, every inch of land there has left the mark of his struggle to get rid of poverty.
Academician Farmer will be premiered on the movie channel at 20:15 today. Pay tribute to the model of the times and write a chapter on getting rid of poverty. Let us feel the great spirit of getting rid of poverty in the movie "Farmer Academician" and pay tribute to the thousands of workers in Qian Qian who are fighting in the front line of getting rid of poverty!
