After an advertisement, the picture turns, accompanied by a beautiful and pleasant, full of folk style music, there is a rhyme of ink painting, the ink picture is like the water on the surface of the lake, a burst of pulling, a string of golden ears of grain, the picture jumps again, a pair of rough hands are kneading the dough, and then, a few more pictures, steamed buns, steamed buns, tofu, and other foods closely related to people.
As these pictures jumped, a string of subtitles appeared, Producer: Chen Dong, Youle Video. Editor-in-chief: Chen Dong,......。
After the opening of the film is played, a string of subtitles appears at the end, China on the tip of the tongue, a gift of nature.
"China has a large population and also has the richest and most diverse natural landscapes in the world, plateaus, mountain forests, lakes, coastlines, and this geographical and climatic span contributes to the formation and preservation of species, and no country has so many potential food raw materials,......。
People gather, pick up. Digging and fishing, in order to get this gift of nature, through the four seasons. We are about to see the story behind the deliciousness, people and nature. ”
Accompanied by a soundtrack, the voice is articulated and emotional, as well as pictures and clips of food that are constantly skipped on the screen, as well as people picking up matsutake mushrooms in the wild, digging lotus roots in dry lakes, and fishing for fish and shrimp in the lake under the ice,......。
Seeing this, many people understand. The meaning of 'nature's gift'!
Rice, fish, bamboo shoots, shrimp and crabs and other natural ingredients are gifts from nature to human beings, and people collect, pick up, dig, and fish. In order to receive this gift of nature.
"Mom, I'm drooling when I see these delicacies, and I've decided, I'm going to taste them one by one according to the delicacies that appear above."

"Who said that Chen Dong's show didn't do well, I watched this show do a good job. The variety of tempting cuisines, as well as the food culture behind these delicacies, and the interesting stories are very promising. ”
"Yes, yes, the story of 'matsutake mushrooms' is well told. Matsutake mushrooms are expensive, and for many ordinary people, they have heard of them, but they have not had the opportunity to taste them. It is only known that it is a rare mountain delicacy of matsutake mushrooms, and the mystery of matsutake mushrooms is revealed to the audience through Tibetan mothers and daughters collecting matsutake mushrooms. ”
"Profiteer, a matsutake mushroom is produced for 80 yuan, and it is sold for 700 yuan in Tokyo, Japan."
……
After watching "A Bite of China", many people posted their comments on "A Bite of China" on the Internet.
"Who made this documentary, it is very meaningful, it shows you the special cuisines of various regions in China, and tells the humanistic stories behind the special cuisines of various regions." In a house in Dinghai, an old man said.
"Dad, the chief director of this documentary is Xiaodong." Tang Tianhai sat next to Tang Tianming, pulled out the charcoal fire under his feet with tongs, and said.
"Xiaodong?! Isn't he busy with the Love Lunch operation during this time? How did you make a documentary? Tang Tianming asked Tang Tianhai in surprise.
"The program creativity provided by Xiaodong is the chief director of the program, and 7 episode directors are responsible for the specific shooting of food materials across the country." Tang Tianhai said.
Hearing this, Tang Tianming nodded, "Xiaodong, this kid is very talented, he can do everything very well, just learn to paint with me, and calligraphy and painting appraisal is a little careless, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, otherwise, he would have already made a certain reputation in the calligraphy and painting appraisal circle." ”
"Grandpa, I'm going to eat this." At this time, a little boy stretched his head out of the bed, and his dark eyes looked directly at the charcoal-grilled golden matsutake mushrooms on the TV, and said.
"Okay, I'll take you to eat tomorrow at noon." Tang Tianming said——
In the data monitoring room of Pearl TV, Yang Shangming's eyes stared at the continuous data on the screen, although he looked calm, but he was uneasy in his heart.
9 o'clock in the evening, so to speak, is the prime time for ratings, and it is generally used to broadcast hit dramas, or some programs with hot ratings.
However, now for the first time in the world, it is being used to broadcast a documentary, which makes many people puzzled, many people say strange things, and many people raise objections.
'Incomprehension', 'strange words', and 'opposition' are also very normal.
You know, documentaries have been declining, in recent years, few documentaries can be popular, there are many reasons, documentaries lack entertainment, too much preaching, many with political/political goals, etc., of course, the most important reason is that there is a lack of excellent documentaries in China.
After watching "A Bite of China", Yang Shangming felt that "A Bite of China" was a very good documentary, without preaching, without much depth, without political/political significance, just using taste to create true stories.
Compared with the story of the 'cooking master', the 'food expert', or a wonderful 'cooking competition', the handicraft digging lotus roots, picking bamboo shoots for two hours, the stilt-style fishing inherited by only 5 people in China, the 70-year-old 'fish leader' in Ji Province, the old man in northern Shaanxi who sells yellow steamed buns, and the little girl in Cicheng, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang who accompanies her grandmother to make rice cakes, are more down-to-earth and closer to people's lives, and the audience prefers to watch them.
Yang Shangming believes that "A Bite of China" will be popular, so he overrode public opinion and arranged "A Bite of China" to be broadcast in prime time.
However, it is one thing to be self-confident, whether "A Bite of China" can be popular or not depends on the ratings and the audience's reputation.
0.68%, which is the ratings counted half an hour before the broadcast of "A Bite of China".
As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to 9 o'clock, and the ratings also rose a little, which made Yang Shangming breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he knows that this is the rise in ratings driven by Chen Dong's fame, which does not show how good the show is and how much the audience loves to watch the show.
