Chapter 1138: Spread Your Own Culture
Americans have the right to speak, who makes them the most powerful? In particular, their pop culture is popular all over the world, and under the spread of pop culture, they are also carrying "private goods" with guns and sticks, but it is not that there is no way to deal with it, how to deal with it? Naturally, they are giving back to the other in the other way, don't you like pop culture? I also have it here!
China now also has rock music, and also likes basketball, of course, China has its own best pop culture, that is, food and folk customs, these things are as popular in the world, the key is that you play to dig out, so that others can see the real side of China.
Liu Lang has already thought of making a set of documentaries about the country, first of all, China's food program, similar to the famous documentary on the tip of China's tongue twenty years later, which can let people abroad appreciate China's broad and profound cuisine, and then feel the optimistic and uplifting attitude of the Chinese people.
Then there is a series of charity documentaries about China, with the Youth Development Foundation as the main body, so that people abroad can see China's efforts to eradicate poverty and education, and finally a documentary about the environment, focusing on the thousands of kilometers of the Three North Shelterbelt in the north, where there is a group of people working for their homeland and the yellow sand, and their spirit can resonate with anyone.
A few years ago, Zhang Nan of the Youth Development Foundation participated in the filming of "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon" with the artist Ling Feng of Wanwan, and traveled to many places across the country, and it was this experience that made Zhang Nan realize what he had to do, and then Liu Lang gave him money to coordinate and finally established the Youth Development Foundation.
After the documentary "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon" was broadcast in Wanwan, it received a huge response, and many old people who had passed from the mainland saw their hometown again on television, and this kind of homesickness can be imagined, and it also indirectly promoted cross-strait contact.
The filming of this documentary is very simple, there are seven or eight people in the two cars, and the equipment is average, after all, Ling Feng and they are not rich people, and many scenes can only be simplified.
But Liu Lang is not short of money, he wants to do the best, he is ready to contact the cultural department, let them find a group of top photographers, but only domestic film crews are not enough, such a documentary will not be recognized by foreign countries, and foreign film crews must be involved, and the two sides will jointly shoot a documentary about China.
That's going to have to be done by the Los Angeles Times Today.
The Los Angeles Today Times is a related account of Saint Tang, relying on Saint Don to become a major national company from a local media outlet in Los Angeles, and its market value has quadrupled in five years.
As a comprehensive media company has a variety of forms of programs, there are naturally a lot of documentaries, in fact, every movie behind-the-scenes footage of Shengtang Company is filmed by the Los Angeles Today Times, which is Liu Lang's suggestion back then, is to imitate the style of Cheng Long's shooting in the previous life, as a result, this novel shooting immediately captured the hearts of the audience, and the audience also really understood the hardships and fun of shooting a movie through behind-the-scenes footage.
After the movie is released, these behind-the-scenes footage will also be added to the video tape and released with the feature film, and the audience reaction is very strong.
In addition to these movie tidbits, the Los Angeles Today Times will also shoot behind the scenes of the singers of the Shengtang Company, and the content behind each concert will be completely recorded, which is even more exciting than the movie behind the scenes, and countless audiences have really learned about the hard work of singers through these documentaries, of course, those bad content has long been deleted, and the audience sees positive plots.
In fact, the Los Angeles Today Times has a special documentary channel, involving history, culture and military, etc., all of which are mostly curious, but documentaries are niche, unless you can really find an entry point that others can't think of, otherwise you won't make much money, American TV stations are producer systems, each column has a producer, you have to give me how much money you make in one episode, or you will cut the cost, or cancel it directly, so that it can be competitive.
The Los Angeles Today Times Documentary Channel spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, what kind of high-quality documentaries can be made with this money? They can't even attract advertisements, but those people are definitely professional, and Liu Lang wants to call them to China and let them shoot a few high-quality documentaries, and then broadcast them through the Los Angeles Today Times, which will definitely arouse heated discussions among Americans and add points to China's films.
Bai Weiren said this, but Liu Lang immediately said his thoughts.
"Hehe, Liu Lang, your head is really fast, it's the speed of light, it took me a few days to think of letting you come forward, and you came up with a way at once.
Your method is very good, it can show our country's enterprising and indomitable spirit in the reform and opening up, especially the Youth Development Foundation, which has supported thousands of poor students in recent years, thus changing their destiny, and the state also attaches great importance to the Youth Development Foundation, and will provide various convenient policies every year, so this entry point is very accurate.
It is true that our country is still very poor, this is an objective fact, and it cannot be changed, but poverty is different from inaction, poverty is only temporary, as long as all Chinese work together, sooner or later the people of the country will ask for poverty.
So I think you can give this suggestion a try, but is the Los Angeles media reliable? Can they objectively reflect the facts?"
Although Bai Weiren agreed with Liu Lang's proposal, he was also a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm their biggest financier, I give them money, and they have to shoot according to my intentions......... Well, it can't be said that according to my intentions, we are really working very hard now, but the Americans don't know about it, so I think this documentary must be filmed in the momentum of our country, so that the Americans really know what we are going to do. ”
"Hehe, money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is really the biggest withdrawal in you, but you are right, now the country is united, everything is developing on the good side, it is time to show the optimistic and strong side of our Chinese nation, then I will ask you for this matter, and I will help you contact the best documentary shooting reporters in our country, so that Chinese and American reporters can cooperate and strive for excellence to achieve the best results. ”
Bai Weiren did things more directly, the chief official of the Ministry of Culture was not far away, and the unveiling ceremony of Chinatown was reported by national television, and Bai Weiren came to follow him in person.
"Minister Zhu, Premier Bai called you!"
One of Bai Weiren's secretaries immediately came to Minister Zhu Hongyuan and whispered after receiving instructions.
"Good!"
Minister Zhu dared to slack off, and immediately trotted over.
"Hello Minister Zhu!"
Liu Lang and the other party are also old acquaintances.
"Okay, Vice Premier Bai, do you have something to do with me?"
"Minister Zhu, Liu Lang is going to shoot a few documentaries, which are about our Chinese cuisine, poverty alleviation and the Three-North Shelterbelt of the Youth Development Foundation, you go back and find the best photography team in our country, and find them all, because these documentaries are likely to be broadcast in the United States, so Liu Lang also has to find an American team to shoot with us, this matter you have to do as a political task, you must do it well, and you must shoot it at a world-class level!"
Bai Weiren gave the order.
