Chapter 303: The True Taste of the Nation
On this night, when "The Power of Staple Food" aired, countless people were watching these real recorded images in front of the TV and in front of the computer. [No pop-up novel network]
Each shot touches the depths of people's hearts, and everyone participates and watches as the camera walks from south to north and from east to west.
What everyone can see is the cultural accumulation, natural factors and historical background behind the food, from the vast Mongolian steppe, to the warm and humid Jiangnan town, from the cold and frozen Northeast Plain, to the deep and primitive southwest border.
What you see is the different food faces of different regional cultures and natural influences; From noodles to rice, from dumplings to steamed buns, from rice cakes to zongzi, the viewer can see the different traces outlined in the regional staple foods over the years, which gives people who are accustomed to living in busy cities and traffic crowds a long-lost opportunity to lean over and explore the rich territory, changing environment and unique history of the motherland...... An incredibly sincere cultural exploration.
What Gu Xiaofan brings through the lens is the pride in China's long history and national culture in everyone's heart, which is spontaneous and continuous......
Rather than empty and false eulogies, or disseminate educational indoctrination, the makers follow the most ordinary people and record their lives with a cold lens of tenderness and gratitude in the production process.
Such a record is sincere because of its authenticity. There is no whitewashing of China's current situation, it quietly records the deep mountains, caves, small towns, mud, cracks and wrinkles; Not at the table but in the wood pot, it examines the most natural birth and continuation of food at its source; There is no excessive beauty of taste, and the food it sees is born in the kitchen of ordinary families, integrated into the growth, life and memory of ordinary people.
It's even cold, with old people flipping heavy tools, fishermen living boring in fishing boats, wandering merchants struggling on the road, and the camera is indifferent when filming them in difficulty.
But this is the respect and preciousness of documentaries, the lens records the true face of their lives, their hard work and hardship, smiles and stains, greatness and smallness together.
What everyone in front of the computer sees is exactly what they know the true face of Chinese society, and the simplicity and diligence of the workers are confirmed in our hearts, and this sense of identity is far more powerful than any propaganda.
The careful thinking and mud-covered grinning of the workers who pick lotus roots, eager for the price increase, are more convincing than any sensational propaganda about saving food.
In many cases, documentaries are perceived as another form of image dissemination and cultural promotion, which is often disgusting.
But when we have the best culture, why don't we spread it? Why not show our most precious side to the world?
Everyone who watches all this on the screen can't help but think, when our TV is full of spy war movies, court dramas and anti-war films, and variety shows full of various gimmicks and subcultures, don't we need documentaries to bring us peaceful and serious thinking and thinking?
When this country continues to use the high-rise buildings, cars, ships and prosperous celebrations of the metropolis as the theme to show the world the face of China, we are just excited and excited.
And only when we see "A Bite of China" will we really shed tears from the heart of our homeland and the laborers who work bent over it, and the primitive memories in our blood for thousands of years seem to wake up.
For thousands of years, the people who have lived silently on the land, their respectful attitude towards life, their natural enthusiasm for labor, the mud on their bodies, the sweat on their foreheads, their dark skin and primitive smiles, and the thick culture that has infiltrated food, life, family and small town, are the true flavor of China.
The true taste of the Chinese nation is far more respectable than the busy traffic in the stone forest, which is the unique charm of "A Bite of China", Gu Xiaofan let everyone know their own blood and inheritance through the lens.
Whether it is a white-collar worker working hard in a high-rise building, a small person standing hard in a factory workshop, or a college student studying abroad, or a person wandering overseas.
On this night, sitting in front of the TV and watching the hard-working faces and familiar delicacies of "A Bite of China" in front of the computer seemed to have returned to their hometown.
That's the taste of home...... No matter where we go or who we become, we are all born in that land, and wherever we go, we have the soul of the Chinese nation flowing in our hearts...... Moved, reminisced, lingering......
And the next day, when the click-through rate of the second episode of "A Bite of China" came out, it startled everyone, and "The Story of Staple Food" directly got 1.03 million hits, breaking the Chinese online video record with a score of 1 million hits in a single day!
All the heads of Youku, Tudou, and 56 websites were speechless in amazement, because Danmaku.com created an incredible fact for them, that is, they beat all TV shows with the content produced by the website.
You know, it's just a documentary!? This is obviously TV's forte.
At the morning meeting on the second day, it completely turned into a celebration party for the art factory, He Tiejun enjoyed a round of applause from everyone, and Chu Qiubai was also smiling, and his heart couldn't help but feel steady.
And Director Jin simply did not attend under the pretext of illness, leaving only Director Li and Director Liu with tears on their faces, and TVB felt even more shameless, and Huang Weisheng, the director of "Student Police Guard", turned off the phone dog.
Everyone knows that in the barrage competition of the group's four major film studios, the art factory won a complete victory.
On the other hand, the ratings of "A Bite of China" on Zhejiang Satellite TV have also reached 0.47, what is the concept of 0.47 in the country?
In Zhejiang Satellite TV, the average rating of variety shows is 0.3, this number is a measure of the quality of variety shows, more than 0.3 is a good program, the program around 0.2 should be observed, and the program with a rating of 0.1 may be "laid off" at any time.
"A Bite of China" actually got a score of 0.47 when it premiered at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, which not only pressed its own variety shows, but also beat other programs in the same period, and the ratings of the same period were the third in the country, second only to CCTV's evening news, and Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Boy".
In those days, the editor-in-chief office of Zhejiang Satellite TV received a "complaint" call at the same time, and some viewers were very anxious because they suddenly couldn't see Zhejiang Satellite TV and "A Bite of China" at home, so they called and asked: "Have you blocked us here?" Why can't we get your show here? ”
The editors of Zhejiang Satellite TV are flattered, what is the situation? Someone even protested because they couldn't see their TV station? This is a situation that has not been encountered in many years!
For the senior management of Zhejiang Satellite TV who is at a low point, "A Bite of China" is undoubtedly a shot in the arm, which makes them more confident in their plan to cooperate with Shangying
