In the 21st century, digital memory is used for video recording, which has the advantage of unlimited (relatively speaking) shooting video data, and the cost of film is at most a labor cost. This results in most outdoor entertainment programs,

The advantage of shooting hundreds or even thousands of hours of huge impact footage and then editing an hour or more of the program from so many footage materials is to ensure the quality of the program. Of course, it's not necessarily good to look good or not.

But the technology of the 80s was clearly not able to do this, and in order to reduce the consumption of film, the show had to be shot with a careful budget. In addition, due to the gap in equipment, the shooting time will definitely be much longer, and some difficult lenses cannot be shot.

For example, underwater shooting and high-speed lenses, etc., as well as the clarity of the picture is far from enough, which will undoubtedly reduce the watchability of the program. However, in the same way, the level of appreciation and requirements of the audience in this era is far less than that of the 21st century, and there is no problem in offsetting the two.

"Look, I've been studying it seriously every night before going to bed these days, but will such an entertainment show really have the high ratings you said?"

Entertainment programs in this era are basically confined to the studio, and the form of "Twelve Legends" is still the first time it has appeared, no wonder Zhou Huimin is suspicious. There is another point that Zhou Huimin didn't say, according to the planning book, the cost of each issue of "Twelve Legends" is basically equivalent to shooting a low-budget movie, dozens of times that of other entertainment programs, how to recover such a high cost?

"When did you see your husband say a big thing?" Wei Xiong smiled confidently, he was still very confident in "Twelve Legends......

Marseille is France's second largest city and largest seaport, with a population of 1.63 million, surrounded on three sides by limestone hills, a strategic location, beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, and is a famous tourist destination in the world, welcoming more than 2 million tourists every year.

The Old Port of Marseille is the true central district of Marseille. Early in the morning, people can be heard talking in the local dialect about the harvest of the previous night's fishing.

The Old Port is not in fact old, it was rebuilt after the Second World War, but the locals still call it 'Old Port', in addition to custom, there is more of a historical feeling in it, and on both sides of the Old Port are St. John's Castle and St. Nicholas' Castle.

They were built during the time of Louis XIV and are one of the main attractions of Marseille and attract a large number of tourists from all over the world every year.

At this time, on the side of the road not far from St. John's Castle, two taxis slowly stopped, and when the car stopped, the four of them got out of the car, why the four? In addition to Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin, Wei Xiong's secretary bodyguards Cui Muqing and Hu Zhiqiang naturally came.

Looking at the surrounding environment, there is indeed a different kind of charm and beauty, but soon Wei Xiong retracted his gaze, he can only stay here for two days, and he will fly to West Germany the morning after tomorrow, so in these two days, the first issue of "Twelve Legends" must be recorded.

Time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to look around, so he just looked casually and pulled Zhou Huimin down the stairs next to him, under the stairs was a stone road, and on both sides of the stone road were all kinds of houses.

The sea is blue and blue, sparkling, and occasionally a few seabirds can be seen flying by, but it is a sea that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see. It turned out that the stone road they had just walked on was a downhill road, and at the bottom was the inner harbor area, which was crowded with fishing boats of all sizes.

"Here it is." Zhou Huimin pointed to a two-storey house next to him, Wei Xiong turned his head to look, and couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling that Zhao Nan's vision was still good, although the area of this house was not large, nor luxurious, but it was very exquisite, and it was rich in Western classical Mediterranean style, he looked at the surrounding buildings again, and found that the styles were similar, and they looked quite pleasing to the eye.

When the four of them walked into the courtyard, they saw that there were quite a few people in the courtyard, some chatting idly, and some arranging things.

This private house is not only the residence of Wei Xiong in the next two days, but also the main venue for the filming of the first issue of "Twelve Legends", at this time the people in the courtyard are all film crews, and the place arranged is the first floor, which looks almost the same, and it should be able to start on time after lunch.

"Mr. Wei." A man in his mid-thirties walked briskly over as he had directed a few men to set up two tables in the courtyard.

"You're looking for a good house, are you ready for everything else?" Wei Xiong smiled approvingly, this man is Zhao Nan, the chief director of "Twelve Legends", who used to be a director in an advertising company, and later jumped to Tianheng Film and Television Company after its establishment.

When selecting the director of "Twelve Legends" this time, Wei Xiong specially spent a few hours watching the works of several directors under the company, and selected Zhao Nan from them, but before it was officially confirmed, he had a long talk with Zhao Nan, mainly about the show.

The topic involved filming techniques, program forms, etc., mainly to see how much Zhao Nan understood, if he couldn't even do it theoretically, he could only change to someone else, and the result was naturally to meet his requirements, and it seemed that Zhao Nan understood it well.

"It's all ready, and the units involved in the shooting are all coordinated, and they can be turned on at any time." Zhao Nan's expression was faintly excited, this was his first time as the director of a TV program, although it was an entertainment program, it was obviously not an ordinary entertainment program.

"Well, then you're busy." After speaking, Wei Xiong took Zhou Huimin and walked upstairs, many people saw this scene with wide eyes, although the scandal between Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin has been circulating for a long time, and it is almost recognized by everyone, but now it is the same thing to see it with their own eyes.

After lunch and a break, the recording of the first episode of "Legends of the Twelve Paths" officially began, starting from the place where Wei Xiong had gotten off before - I saw a taxi that can be seen everywhere in the city of Marseille coming from a distance and stopping on the side of the road.

Then Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin saw the two get out of the car, both of them carrying backpacks on their backs, looking like they were traveling.

"Wow, it looks really different here, look at the castle over there." Zhou Huimin pointed to St. John's Castle on the chest in the distance. ”

"That castle was built by Louis XIV and is more than 300 years old, do you see the cannons on the walls? The cannons were not used to defend against invasion, but to supervise the city administrators, so the barrels were pointed at the city, which was rare elsewhere. ”

"It seems really, really." Zhou Huimin put her sunglasses down, propped her right palm on her brow to block the sun, and then looked in the direction of the city wall.

"Let's find a place to live first." The two walked down a staircase not far away, and at the bottom of the staircase was a stone path, and after walking along the stone road for about 100 meters, the two walked to the outside of the courtyard of a private house, during which two photographers were always with them.

In post-editing, some other narrations and images will be inserted, such as Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin will have narration to introduce their countries and cities when they just get out of the car; For example, when Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin were watching the castle, the castle picture would be added in the post-editing.

In addition, Wei Xiong also needs to record a separate introduction to the program and edit the opening credits of the first episode, so that the audience can have a general understanding of the program.

Zhou Huimin looked at the house number on the pillar next to the gate: "No. 537, it should be here, the door should be unlocked, it's really unlocked." ”

Saying that, she had opened the door, and the two walked into the yard, which looked very simple, with a vacant lot in the center, and some flowers and plants planted under the surrounding walls, the two didn't look at it much, and walked directly into the house, Zhou Huimin immediately commented: "It looks very good." ”

Wei Xiong looked at the layout of the room and nodded: "It's really good, this is where we will live in the next two days, there is an envelope." ”

On the table in the living room was a white envelope with "Twelve Legends" printed on it, Wei Xiong hurriedly walked over to pick it up, and then pulled out a card from it: "The legendary dish you are challenging today is 'Marseille Fish Soup', which is a traditional dish in the south of France. ”

"Marseille fish soup? Haven't heard of it. ”

"The French cuisine we are familiar with is generally baked snails, fried foie gras or something, in fact, there are many famous dishes in France, Marseille fish soup is a dish, and the source of ingredients is much easier than snails and foie gras. And this dish is 2,500 years old, which is very long. ”

"Oh, will you do that then? I don't, I'm here to do it today. Zhou Huimin smiled playfully, her fresh smile made people's eyes shine, she didn't say this to the camera, but she really won't, she will cook some simple Western food at most.

"I've done it before, but in fact, each part of France has its own fish soup, but the content is slightly different, and then it has different names, such as the cotriade in Brittany, the pauchouse in Burgundy, and in the south of France, especially in Provence, the fish soup in Marseille is particularly famous, and I think all tourists who visit Marseille should not miss it."

"The most important thing to make Marseille fish soup is the broth, which is the soup base, so let's go to the supermarket and buy something first." After speaking, the two were about to walk out, when the director's voice sounded: "Wait a minute, in order to increase the difficulty of the challenge, all the ingredients must be exchanged for labor." ”

"In exchange for labor?"

"That's right, that means you can't use money."
