"The Season of Ripe Bayberries" has won multiple awards at the 10th Barcelona International Film Festival, the 7th Chilean Southern Film Academy Awards, and the 16th Jaipur International Film Festival in India. Set against the backdrop of the bayberry harvest season, it explores the complex relationship between people and land, tradition and modernity, through the protagonist's journey of self-discovery while choosing between rural and urban life during the process of modernization. This is a heartwarming film centered around bayberries on the road to common prosperity, showcasing the touching story of a young village secretary leading villagers to revitalize their hometown. It is also the first film made by the people of Lanxi. The story takes place in Changle Village, Xilan Town, based on Lanxi, and the entire film was shot in Lanxi, featuring locations such as Zhuge Bagua Village, Youbu Ancient Town, and Xia Li Village, with most of the extras being local villagers from Lanxi. The film is grounded in the era of rural revitalization, telling the story of Zhang Shuqing, a post-90s village secretary and CPPCC member, leading the villagers of Changle Village in Xilan Town towards common prosperity. Undoubtedly, the process of achieving rural revitalization is arduous and winding, but ultimately, under the joint efforts of Zhang Shuqing and the villagers, Changle Village transformed from a neglected ancient village to a well-known "Bayberry Internet Celebrity Village." In the film, Changle Village features an ancient village setting, with a theater, a morning tea street, and a large bayberry forest. In Zhang Shuqing’s eyes, these are the village's own development advantages, "particularly beautiful and particularly delicious." He hopes to use these "two specialties" to promote rural tourism and proposed the idea of pre-selling bayberries, encouraging villagers to invest in the sale of bayberries. Obviously, this idea was not well-received initially, and they even called him particularly silly and annoying. After several twists and turns, the pre-sale of bayberries eventually gained support from the majority, but the process was not smooth, resulting in some setbacks where Zhang Shuqing was even deceived, leading to skepticism from the villagers. When facing unexpected challenges, he dared to confront the difficulties, bravely took responsibility, and even invested his own money to start a bayberry processing factory with the villagers, launching a series of bayberry-based products that achieved the integration of the bayberry industry with common prosperity, rural revitalization, and the development of agriculture and tourism.
