At the end of September, in the recording studio of CCTV's old building, Zhang Tan had been going back and forth here for a week, recording the narration of "A Bite of China".

The narrator invited Li Lihong, an associate professor at the Communication University of China, graduated from the Department of Broadcasting of Beijing Broadcasting, with a deep voice, steady timbre, and the charm of a wise man. The main business is an associate professor who teaches directing and acting, but his side job is a well-known voice actor in the industry.

When Zhang Tan was looking for dubbing for the documentary, after hearing Li Lihong's voice, he immediately made a decision.

In fact, Zhang Tan's own voice is also very good, clean and clear, but it is not so rich and cannot depict the feeling he wants.

After receiving an invitation to cooperate with China's most powerful writers and directors, Li Lihong didn't say a word, immediately resigned from some unimportant work, and buried himself in the recording studio with Zhang Tan, reading the script over and over again, recording audio, and looking for the most suitable effect for the documentary.

At the same time, in September, CCTV also began to promote "A Bite of China".

In the central one, two, seven, ten and other channels, there is a habit of broadcasting documentaries, and at the end of the documentary broadcast, a trailer is played one after another.

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable life options for people, in China's 5,000-year-old civilization, food is always the most concerned issue, every food, is the carrier of civilization and culture. From October 8th to 20th, at 22:40 every night, this column will broadcast a large-scale food documentary "A Bite of China", director Tan Zhang will take you to appreciate the culture of Chinese and eating. ”

Along with the trailer, at the beginning of the broadcast documentary, various ingredients slowly flashed.

There are ears of wheat in abundance. There is a soft dough, and there is a golden bun. There are fragrant and tender tofu, lotus root slices, rice cakes, bamboo shoots...... All the footage. With the gradual and gradual way of landscape painting, it finally converges into a piece of pork belly composed of mountains and rivers, and a pair of chopsticks clamps the pork belly.

Six Chinese characters of "A Bite of China" flashed out, as well as English letters.

At the beginning of this film, the picture is extremely beautiful.

The high-definition digital format of the picture, after a large cost of post-processing, not only perfectly restores the beauty of the food itself, but also further highlights the charm of the food through the full and shiny color. The temptation. It's as if you want to break through the barrier of the TV screen and rush to the face.

Beautiful and authentic!

The editing technique of landscape painting makes the style of the documentary unique.

This is just a title, what really reflects the superior quality of "A Bite of the Tongue" is the text of the documentary.

"Director Tan, these pictures are really good, they are shot with a high-definition camera, they are a little too realistic." Han Zhidong, director of CCTV's seven documentary departments. Looking at the picture playing on the computer in the studio, I was sincerely amazed.

Zhang Tan took the script that recorded the commentary and nodded: "After all, it was made at a great price, and you get what you pay for." When shooting food themes, the 'fragrance' and 'taste' in the color and fragrance cannot be presented, and the effect of 'color' can only be increased. Dig into the food itself. ”

"I feel hungry once I watch these pictures you take. Personally, I think the quality of your documentary is quite high. I just don't know if the audience can accept it. Our domestic documentaries, to be honest, have too small an audience, and it is too difficult to attract attention. ”

Han Zhidong is telling the truth.

However, Zhang Tan was full of confidence: "Look at it then, my work, Director Han should rest assured." Even if you don't worry, now the trailer is out, and the ducks have to be put on the shelves. In just over a week, the results will be tested, and then Director Han will understand what is wonderful about the film I made. ”

"Haha, then I wish us success."

Zhang Tan's confidence drove Han Zhidong's confidence, and when he chose to cooperate with Zhang Tan to shoot a documentary, he was very reckless to say, and even had the attitude of holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The documentary department is not taken seriously in CCTV, although there is no shortage of funds, but it has been a low-level production, so that there is no possibility of performance.

Without performance, how can Han Zhidong be promoted.

He is not willing to be in this position, waiting for death by doing nothing, and still thinking about fighting. And there are no more than two opportunities for the documentary department to fight, one is to shoot excellent documentaries, and the other is to prepare a documentary channel.

The documentary channel is still far away, and we can only focus on excellent documentaries.

If you want to play a documentary, this difficulty is not ordinary, just at this time, Zhang Tan threw an olive branch, and Han Zhidong made a decision on the spot and started to do it.

What I didn't expect was that Zhang Tan made it relatively large, spending more than 15 million funds.

This is much riskier than the hundreds of thousands or millions of documentaries produced by CCTV in general, but fortunately, Zhang Tan has 12 episodes in one shot. is creative, has content, and has a famous director as a guarantee, Han Zhidong is also easier to explain to the above, but the pressure will be greater than usual.

No, he was reprimanded in the afternoon.

"Zhidong, it's not me talking about you, now is a critical period of competition, do more wrong, do less wrong, and would rather not do it than do it randomly." Zhao Jianjun, a deputy director of CCTV, met Han Zhidong in the office who came to report on his work and criticized him unceremoniously.

Han Zhidong is a descendant of the deputy director, although he has not received much attention.

"Director, if I don't do it, I can't compete for the old money for the director position of seven sets this year, I'd rather give it a go than watch the opportunity slip away."

Seeing Han Zhidong refute himself, Zhao Jianjun glanced at him dissatisfied: "Hard work is due, but you must also distinguish the situation, if you want to revitalize documentaries, you can invite excellent documentary teams from abroad, or invite famous domestic directors." But now, you're handing over the opportunity to a young man in his twenties, do you think the documentary is that simple? ”

"Director, Tan Zhang is very talented."

"What a talent! can write some martial arts novels, but can't be on the stage. ”

"The "Crazy Stone" he directed is very good." Han Zhidong's tone gradually became a little stiff, he needed support now, not scolding.

He sensed that Zhao Jianjun's attitude towards him was a little problematic.

"I know better than you!" Zhao Jianjun said with a cold face, "A comedy, by playing clever, can you deceive for a while, and can you deceive for a lifetime?" What documentaries need is steady, not clever, and the cost of fifteen million is enough to make several documentaries. If this money is wasted, you can't keep the director of the seven sets, even if you are in the current position. ”

After a pause, Zhao Jianjun put on a sad look: "Han Zhidong, you are cutting off your future!" ”

……

Coming out of the deputy director's office, Han Zhidong's face was very ugly.

On the one hand, he was reprimanded by the leader and sang about his own actions, as the head of a department, of course he would not be happy on his face. On the other hand, it is also a matter of Zhao Jianjun's attitude, as a descendant, not only did he not get his support, but there were signs of falling into the ground.

This made Han Zhidong aware of a lot of meaningful content.

"Qian Weiying has recently been praising Xiao Dong, who is hosting the program of agriculture and agriculture, and I heard that Xiao Dong has a leg with Zhao Jianjun...... It seems that Zhao Jianjun is going to beat me and pull Qian Weiying to the throne. ”

can fight on CCTV, they are not stupid, and they have their own set of intrigues.

Back in his office, Han Zhidong lit a cigarette, sniffed the nicotine, and thought: "Let's see if "A Bite of China" can break through now, at least not too badly, otherwise my life will be really difficult...... Damn it! Zhao Jianjun is a ****, he usually does things for you, and he doesn't talk about it at all! ”

After smoking a cigarette, Han Zhidong stood up again.

"No, I have to go and see Tan Zhang and them recording "The Tip of the Tongue" again, otherwise I won't be sure."

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Han Zhidong hurriedly left the office and walked to the recording room. (To be continued.) )
