As the filming went on, everyone became more and more familiar with it.
January 7th.
Jincheng Province, the southernmost point, is Zhangmu City.
"Stuck!" Zhao Ziluo's voice fell and he stared at the stored information.
Five hundred and seventy-two G!
At this point, the Jincheng chapter of "A Bite of China" is officially over!
"Everyone." He cleared his throat and said loudly: "I announce that the first season of "A Bite of China" has been completed!!"
"oh--!!"
"It's finally over! Hahahaha!! My first documentary project is finally over!"
Cheers came and went.
Everyone has lost a lot of weight, but they are more energetic!
Everyone has learned a lot this month!
"It will be the strongest salute of Jincheng's reform!"
The entire country of China and all major TV stations will change the way they shoot because of it! !
Or don't do it.
If you want to do it, be a mountain monster!
"New Year's Eve is on the 18th and holiday is on the 15th! Try to launch it before the end of March! Are you confident??"
"have--!!!"
Chen Jing'an finished shouting hoarsely, her heart racing.
The choice this time was right! !
"Teacher! One documentary is not enough!" Ma Donglai said with a smile: "Why, we need three every day!"
Zhao Ziluo said: "I think about it, fireworks for breakfast and war for midnight snacks, how can I make three movies together?"
Holy shit!
You can still play like this!
Someone joked: "Didn't Jincheng Terrace become a gourmet terrace?"
Zhao Ziluo smiled: "Isn't this exactly in line with the TV station's positioning for Jincheng Station?"
Fireworks for breakfast, war for midnight snacks.
The shooting method is similar to that of "A Bite of China".
Just in time to practice.
After shooting these three classic documentaries, Great Powers Weapons, Great Powers Build, and Dynasties, you can try filming.
While everyone was celebrating, Chen Jing'an quietly walked up to Zhao Ziluo.
"Director, will this film... really attract attention from above?"
"Yes." Zhao Ziluo said in a deep voice: "It will amaze everyone!"
The situation of Blue Star’s documentaries is not much better than that of Chinese documentaries on Earth.
Before 2012, documentaries were at the bottom of television.
If you want to make a documentary, it often takes a year or two to apply for funding.
But.
In 2012, China on the Tip of the Tongue was launched and attracted much attention!
It is a symbol that tells everyone that documentaries can be so exciting.
Then, Tip of the Tongue 2, Tip of the Tongue 3... Around 17 years ago, China began an era of documentary explosion!
In the first quarter of 2021 alone, nearly 50 documentaries will be released!
Take the first quarter of 21 as an example, "Wang Yangming", "Hot Snow", "Oil War", "Made in China", "First Level Response", "Tokyo Trial" and so on.
The ratings are actually pretty good!
The tip of the tongue is a symbol, it opens an era!
…………
"Director Tao, congratulations."
"Yes, Lao Tao, if you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster."
"Old Tao, when are you going to ask Director Zhao to come over and have a chat? What's the matter with me being bored? Isn't it time to take care of our brothers?"
In Yanjing, Tao Yonghua walked out of an office building with a happy face. Congratulations poured in from all the station directors around.
The year-end meeting of directors of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment’s TV station, which ended ten minutes ago, was personally presided over by Zhang Deshun, director of the Department of Cultural Promotion of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment.
At the meeting, Jinchengtai was praised by name.
The reforms have been drastic and paid channels have begun to bear fruit. After decades of haze, the work of Director Tao was strongly affirmed.
But at the same time, shortcomings were also pointed out.
The premium channel only relies on one movie "The Walking Dead" to survive.
The revenue in the first season was as high as 3 billion!
The turnover in the second quarter is as high as 3.2 billion!
But without these two films, the number of views was almost zero.
Although two large incomes per year are enough to sustain pay TV and live well.
But it cannot get viewers to develop the habit of watching pay TV.
Tao Yonghua couldn't help it either.
He wished he could equip his Director Zhao with eight hands!
However, no matter what you say, you cannot deny the achievements of Jinchengtai.
Rise strong and stand out!
Tao Yonghua smiled and greeted the others, but his heart felt like he was returning.
On January 7, the filming team of "A Bite of China" returned to Hongjiang and started editing the next day.
But so far, it has been a month!
The New Year is coming soon.
If he couldn't cut it out before the year, he didn't know if he would be able to have a good year this year!
"This is a TV program..."
"One...the face of all television stations!"
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
private phone.
He picked it up immediately without looking at it: "Hello, hello."
"Director Tao, are you going to have team building this year?" the secretary's voice came, and Tao Yonghua felt a sense of loss.
He shook his head subconsciously, but nodded immediately.
"Of course it will be held!"
This is the first time in decades that we have achieved this, and we must celebrate it!
"Book the air tickets to Nanhai. Starting from the 10th, we will travel at public expense!"
Just as I put down the phone, another phone rang.
He glanced subconsciously.
Director Zhao!
"Fuck..." He couldn't help but cursed and immediately called his cell phone.
Without waiting for Zhao Ziluo to speak, he immediately asked: "How is it? Is it done?"
Zhao Ziluo's voice was both tired and excited: "I've sent it to your email!"
"Are you in Yanjing now? Just in time, bring it to Director Meng to see, she should be very interested!"
The next thing he has to do is to build a film and television base.
The second is the establishment of awards.
All need strong support from the main station!
Of course Tao Yonghua understood what he meant: "Okay, it just so happens that Mr. Meng didn't go far."
As the director of the main station, with direct access to Tianting's existence, Meng Anlan has been very busy.
When Tao Yonghua found her, she was talking to several other station directors.
Tao Yonghua didn't show up either: "Sister Meng, the template for one of our programs is out. I just received it. Do you want your help with the palm eye?"
"Zi...you Tao Yonghua! You look down on us, don't you!" Zhou Changqing, director of the Northwest Channel, has completely white hair, but he doesn't show off at all.
The director of Xinzhou Station next to him also laughed and said: "What? You look down on us old TV people? You don't even invite us?"
Meng Anlan smiled, pressed her hands, and said thoughtfully: "Are you sure?"
So far, Zhao Ziluo's talent is full of entertainment.
But one is different!
It would not work if he still created a show with the idea of entertainment.
But Tao Yonghua invited them without even looking, obviously he was extremely confident!
"Let's take a look together." Tao Yonghua insisted and still said.
Several people found a viewing room together - this place is the territory of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. As soon as they entered, service staff served hot tea and fruits.
Someone helped connect the computer to the big screen, and after a few minutes, the light turned into a soft light that was not dazzling.
The room fell silent.
Soon, a sound of silk and bamboo sounded.
Then, the addition of chimes, bamboo flutes, guzheng... various ancient instruments made the short opening song rich and colorful.
"As expected of the God of Music." Director Xinzhou was a little sour. Xinzhou is one of the provinces with the weakest GDP in China.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the customs are not all the same, so it is really difficult to recruit top talents.
It's okay if you can't recruit.
But if someone shows off in front of you, then something will happen!
Oh...it seems that I took the initiative to see it...
"The ancient style is very stable." "Yes, it is grand and majestic without losing elegance and solemnity. This piece is good."
Along with the music, a red and black ink picture appeared on the screen.
"China on the tip of your tongue?"
Meng Anlan looked at the screen, a little stunned: "Food documentary?"
She has read countless films.
When she saw this name, her heart sank slightly.
It is also an entertainment topic.
Moreover, in her impression, it is difficult for food documentaries to excel.
The routine is too dead.
Immediately afterwards, a particularly impressive piece of music played.
"Woooooooooo~~"
It's like playing a bamboo flute.
An image of an alpine forest appeared on the screen.
Accompanied by a melodious bass: "China has the richest geographical environment in the world..."
"This geographical and climatic span contributes to the formation and preservation of species..."
At the beginning, following these words, there were shots of plateaus, oceans, rivers, and mountains.
It's no different from other documentaries.
Until this sentence: "No country has such a variety of potential food raw materials."
Golden wheat ears, stretches of terraced fields, endless lotus ponds...
Then, pictures slowly passed the camera.
A plate of green and yellow lettuce and shredded pork.
A pan of eels bubbling in oil.
There are also snow-white matsutake mushrooms spread on the bottom of the black pot, and they are slightly rolled up with the sound of "simmering" in the oil.
Gurgling... the sound of simmering ribs in the pot made her salivate.
"Um?"
"This is……"
Everyone present was a veteran, and as soon as they saw it, they felt something was wrong!
"New shooting method?" Director Xinzhou pushed up his glasses and sat up straight.
interesting.
very interesting!
Abandoned the usual dish introduction, chef introduction, and method recording.
Rather, it’s from the perspective of ingredients!
It may not make any difference to the audience.
But in the eyes of practitioners, this is nothing less than a reform of the industry!
"It's really surprising..." Meng Anlan's eyes flashed slightly, and her attitude became serious.
After a brief introduction, the screen changed.
"Dolma and her mother are looking for an elf-like ingredient."
What caught his eye were two women from ethnic minorities.
No beautification, just the original appearance!
Carrying a backpack and walking sticks to climb the mountain - it is real mountain climbing, not the kind of tourist attraction.
There is no road at all on the mountain, so you can only walk step by step with walking sticks!
Even the Mandarin spoken by the two "protagonists" is not standard.
"But...where does this extremely rich sense of immersion come from?"
Several station directors exchanged glances, and they were all a little numb.
They can't understand.
At first glance, I couldn’t understand the concept of this documentary.
But they all know that this is a good movie!
Because, in front of the screen, they are full of interest!
"Look first!"
Meng Anlan finally made the decision: "Read it first and then talk about it the second time!"
Completely different shooting techniques and concepts.
It can actually achieve the same effect!
This guy... can really take pictures of serious things!
