"Type of cuisine?"

"Yes. ”

"This, Mr. Mo, the type of food doesn't seem to be popular. ”

"People take food as their sky, and there are countless foodies in all parts of the country, and I think there is a big market for food. ”

"That's what I said, but the CCTV documentary channel has broadcast food documentaries before, and the ratings are very miserable. ”

"Oh, you mean the previous "Gourmet Master"?"

"Yes, this is the show, and several famous food experts were invited at that time, but everyone didn't seem interested. ”

"I've seen this show too, but I think they're shooting in the wrong direction. ”

"Oh, Mr. Mo, you say?"

"Although there are a lot of food masters invited to that show, the center of the whole documentary has always been the cooking and how to make food, and I don't think it can be filmed like this. ”

"Mr. Mo, don't most food documentaries be filmed like this?"

"I think it could be done from a different angle. Director Chen, do you think, if you are an audience, will you be interested in how these food masters make food, how they show knife skills, fire skills, etc.? Or, even if they are interested, to be honest, if you really want to shoot these, in fact, the performance is very boring on the camera, and you can't get the audience's cool point. ”

"Mr. Mo, what you said makes sense. However, aren't documentaries all like this, can documentaries still get other people's cool points? ”

"Absolutely. For example, if I were asked to shoot this food film, I would never shoot cooking, let alone how many grams of salt and how many grams of water to add, which is too boring. If you want to shoot, then shoot the ingredients. ”

"Ingredients?"

"Yes. Where do the ingredients come from in our kitchens, whether it's in the ocean, or in the mountains, or in the swamps, lakes, or fields? Different places have different ingredients, and different places have different ways to get them. How do we get it, how difficult is it, who gets it, and how do we transport it to our table after we get it...... And so on. ”

"This can also be ......"

Mo Bai's words made Chen Xiaoqing stunned.

He has been making documentaries for decades, and he has never thought of shooting a documentary from this angle.

"Of course, we can not only shoot ingredients, but we can also shoot other things, such as [transformation]. ”

"What do you mean by conversion?"

"It's very simple, just like tofu is fermented, he can have another taste, which is [transformation]. ”

"You mean stinky tofu. ”

"It's not just stinky tofu, it's also tofu milk. Of course, there are also kimchi, bean drums, and rice wine. These are all things that we can come into contact with in our daily lives, and even many of us have made them ourselves. However, by recording these things, we can restore the different customs, geography and culture of each place. ”

"My God......"

Chen Xiaoqing was completely stunned.

In addition, in addition to shooting from these angles, we can also record the changes in the "five flavors". Different raw materials, different condiments, and different preparation techniques can make different delicacies and make these delicacies more delicious. This is another food culture that belongs to our unique China. ”

"Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, wait, you slow down, I want to think, I want to think about ......"

At this time, Chen Xiaoqing's face was already full of excitement.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to have come to the north and south of the river.

All kinds of ingredients, all kinds of food, all kinds of humanities completely occupied Chen Xiaoqing's mind at once.

"Mr. Mo, I understand what you mean. You mean, we shoot food, but we actually shoot geography, terroir, people, and culture. It's just that we use the line of food to connect all kinds of different cultures, different customs, and different tastes across the country to make a different food documentary. ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. ”

Mo Bai nodded.

Chen Xiaoqing finally understood what he meant.

"Genius, Mr. Mo, you are simply a genius idea, how did you come up with it?"

"Hehe, I'm just thinking about it. ”

"If you think about it, you can compare us who have made documentaries for decades, Mr. Mo, please don't slap your face. ”

"Director Chen, if you don't come much, will you shoot or not?"

"Shoot, shoot for sure. Mr. Mo, you just don't want me to shoot, I also want to rush to shoot. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, who's going to rob you. Okay, that's it. I'll fund this food-themed documentary, and you will direct it. As for the cost of funds, Director Chen, how much do you think it will cost to shoot it all?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'll have to go back and sort out what you just told me. However, it is roughly estimated that it will be around 5 million. ”

"5 million. ”

Mo Bai burst into tears.

Sometimes he makes more than 5 million TV episodes.

"Mr. Mo, I know that 5 million is a bit more. However, as you just said, if you want to shoot these things, I'm afraid you will have to run back and forth all over the country during this period of time, not to mention other things, and the transportation cost is a lot of money. ”

"Pit ......"

Mo Bai burst into tears again.

"Mr. Chen, don't say it, what 5 million, I'll give you 10 million, you give me a good shot. ”

"10 million?"

Chen Xiaoqing was extremely surprised.

"yes, what?"

"Mr. Mo, is 10 million too much?"

"Is it much?"

"Of course, Mr. Mo, there is definitely not much in your eyes. However, is it too extravagant to shoot a documentary with 10 million. ”

"What a luxury, I think it's too shabby. ”

"No, Mr. Mo, I mean, in the end, it's a documentary, not a TV series. You can invest 10 million in TV series, no, you can invest 100 million in it. However, if you invest 10 million in a documentary, you may not even be able to recover the cost. To tell the truth, most of the documentaries at home and abroad are loss-making. ”

"Hahaha, Director Chen, Director Chen, do you think we will lose this documentary?"

"Can you still make money?"

"Of course. Not only can you make money, but you can make a lot of money. However, don't be blushing when you make money when the time comes, it's mine. ”

"I'll ......"

Chen Xiaoqing couldn't cry or laugh.

How could he think about making too much money in vain.

However, since Mo Bai said so, who would be disgusted with a lot of money.

"Okay. Mo Bai, you said that 10 million will be 10 million, but let's say it first, don't blame me when you lose. ”

"No complaints, no complaints. However, I also said first, in case I earned, hehe, I don't have your share. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I won't rob you. ”

"That's good. ”

Everything was settled, and the two left.

In fact, about this food documentary, Mo Bai had thought about shooting it himself before.

It's just that I later considered that although this documentary looks simple, it will really take a lot of time to shoot.

Let's not talk about the rest, just take the ingredients from all over the world.

Just the ingredients in this documentary have to go back and forth on the map of China.

Although Mo Bai is idle now, he doesn't have time to make documentaries all his mind.

Yes, after explaining a few words to Chen Xiaoqing, Mo Bai was relieved.

As for what it is...... Hey, you know.

Although Chen Xiaoqing complained in his heart, Mo Bai actually let himself put private goods in the documentary.

But he is the boss, and the money is also invested by him.

Whatever Mo Bai says, he will shoot.

As for what is the Dongdong called spicy strips to be filmed, Chen Xiaoqing is also quite curious.
