Produced by Zhejiang Cultural Industry Investment Group and created by Yunqi Bowu (Hangzhou) Cultural Communication, the cartoon "Dream Team in the Mountains" with the theme of "Rural Basketball Tournament" will be broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel (CCTV-14) from February 27.
The background of the cartoon is the Guizhou rural basketball event "Village BA", which unfolds from four dimensions: youth growth, sports, beautiful countryside, and cultural self-confidence. The story takes the three generations of the Chen family father and son in Panlong Village as the main character clues, incorporates anthropomorphic rooster "Adu" and other characters, and tells the story of Chen Chengcheng, an urban teenager, who followed his father's work transfer from Zhejiang to his hometown Panlong Village, and under the influence of family, friendship and nostalgia, he formed a youth basketball "dream team", participated in the beautiful village basketball game, and regained the story of happy growth.
This is not only a youth basketball "dream team" from the mountains, breaking through themselves and completing the bloody transformation, but also a rural revitalization "dream team" composed of grassroots cadres from Zhejiang and Guizhou behind Hemei Village.
