At the beginning of August, it was the middle of the summer vacation, and most of the students who had completed the college entrance examination had already determined their future path, and many people chose to travel, and many people focused on local food when they were traveling.

"A String of Life" has become a hot word on Weibo, barbecue seems to have become everyone's favorite overnight, the business of the shops mentioned in the documentary has become popular, and other barbecue stalls have also become a temporary substitute for the audience's cravings, probably all the barbecue bosses in China have to thank "A String of Life" and Xu Rui.

At the headquarters of Chuyin Video Network, Xu Rui is not immersed in the popularity of "A String of Life", "Your Name" will be released on August 16, he has been busy with the promotion and distribution of this movie recently, and he has to go to participate in some commercial activities from time to time.

On the one hand, with the foundation of "The Garden of Words", Xu Rui is very relieved of the basic audience of "Your Name", at least this kind of theme, this kind of story is liked by the public.

On the other hand, the story of "Your Name" is special, with its own narrative tricks, and the screening will undoubtedly lead to spoilers, although after the premiere, spoilers will also spread, but people who watched the movie a few days ago should not be so easy to see the spoilers, and the screening will make the spoilers spread quickly, which is not good for the movie-watching experience.

Still in the position of the original art team, Xu Rui is reviewing the various designs of "From the Abyss", this animation is expected to be broadcast in October, and now the production of the first episode is begins, because there are various props in the animation that are very different from reality, so the prop design is particularly crucial.

is different from the realistic style of "Your Name" and "Classical Literature Club Series", "From the Abyss" takes a fantasy style, and if you want to highlight the sense of exoticism, you must rely on details, which are complementary to the plot, character design, and world background, such as the material of the characters' clothes depends on the degree of development of productivity in the world background, and the impact of the abyss as the core of the story on all aspects of people's daily life, etc., if it is not handled well, the characters will become very abrupt, and the story will not be perfect.

was looking at the setting of the monsters that would appear in the later plot, Xu Rui suddenly received a notice from the front desk, saying that the person who had made an appointment to meet had arrived.

After cleaning up, Xu Rui called Zheng Weijie, got up and went to the reception room, and saw a middle-aged and slightly chubby man waiting there.

"Hello, I'm Xu Rui of Phantom Electric, and this is Director Zheng Weijie of Phantom Media."

Xu Rui stretched out his hand first and shook hands with the other party.

"I'm Zhou Xiao, the director of national television."

The man introduced himself.

After some greetings, Zhou Xiao spoke.

"Mr. Xu, Director Zheng, I came this time mainly for "A String of Life", I think this documentary is very distinctive, not only the material is unique, the expression technique is also quite innovative, and the narration is also very down-to-earth."

Hearing his praise, Xu Rui smiled.

"After all, we are an Internet company, and we have a close relationship with users, and if we are too high-minded, it is very likely that users will feel alienated, and it is not suitable for the barrage mode."

"I was also introduced by my daughter to find out about this documentary, you know, she usually doesn't like the documentaries we make by herself, she thinks it's too boring, maybe the form of "A String of Life" is more suitable for young people to watch."

Zhou Xiao sighed with some emotion, documentaries should not be far away from the masses, but should come to the masses, but now many documentaries have become a little boring, only records remain, but there is no desire for people to watch, Zhou Xiao feels that documentaries should not only be simple narratives, but should also be able to attract people to watch.

"That's because our main audience is young people, and our production team is actually very young, so we naturally want to make documentaries according to the ideas of young people, which may not be so professional, but we have to have the courage to try."

Xu Rui knew that the purpose of Zhou Xiao's visit this time should be more than just to praise "A String of Life", so he said again.

"In fact, the documentaries we shoot still have a lot of limitations, because of cost and technical reasons, we can't take into account all aspects, so we can only take barbecue as a cooking method, and Huaxia itself has thousands of foods, the land is vast, and there are many things that can be filmed."

Seeing Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, Xu Rui continued.

"Actually, food documentaries are not aimed at young people, but barbecue happens to be a favorite way for young people, and if there are enough resources, a documentary about Chinese food culture should attract more audiences."

"That's right, Director Zhou, you see that you only learned about "A String of Life" after being introduced by your daughter, which shows that our film is still only popular among young people, and has not been able to expand to the entire age group."

Zheng Weijie added on the side that the communication mode of the Internet is still very limited, middle-aged and elderly people who don't pay much attention to the Internet have not seen "A String of Life", and those who don't like barbecue will not pay attention to it, so the popularity of "A String of Life" is limited to the Internet and some offline, and it has not been completely heated up among the whole people.

"That's the purpose of my visit this time, there was a proposal for a food documentary on the TV station before, but it didn't happen for various reasons, after I watched "A String of Life", the idea of making a Chinese food documentary emerged, and I hope to invite the two to participate in the production."

Zhou Xiao said that he is just a director, and a documentary requires a lot of procedures from project approval to shooting, first of all, he has to say that the leaders in the station are moving, and with the help of Xu Rui and Zheng Weijie, two people who have filmed a popular documentary on the Internet such as "A String of Life", the probability of getting the leaders to agree is greater.

"It's a good idea, when I visited and collected materials, in fact, in addition to barbecue, I also came into contact with a lot of local food, but unfortunately it didn't match the theme, and I didn't use it in the end, and some of the stories in it were not presented."

Zheng Weijie said that when he took the material, he always asked the locals, and he did encounter several food-related stories, but the theme of "A String of Life" is barbecue after all, and some irrelevant stories can only be discarded.

"Actually, we had this plan at the beginning, Director Zhou, but the strength of Phantom Media is not enough, so we can't shoot such a grand theme, but if it is a national TV station, I think it will definitely be filmed."

Xu Rui is not greedy, he wants to take the entire country of China as the background, or it is better for a professional TV station to be in charge, he can be a consultant at most, and by the way, it is almost the same as fighting for an exclusive online broadcast right for Chuyin Video Network during the broadcast.

"Yes, the resources in the station are sufficient, but there has been no good subject matter, and there have been various historical and nature documentaries before, and few breakthroughs have been made."

Zhou Xiao bowed slightly, he naturally knew what Xu Rui meant.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui continued.

"Since it's a documentary that includes Chinese cuisine, I have a name here, I don't know what Director Zhou thinks."

"What's the name?"

Hearing Xu Rui's previous statement, Zhou Xiao was very excited and hurriedly asked.

"A bite of the tongue."
