Unlike commercial films, which have a lot of visual impact at the beginning, the beginning of "A Bite of China" is refreshing, gentle and elegant, with an elegant and ancient style with cultural connotations.

In short, it's a breath of fresh air for prime-time shows, a beautiful start enough to make it stand out.

"Director Yu's work is very fine, and it is very tasteful."

"I didn't expect him to really make a documentary, it's terrifying in the future......"

"Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised by more than just the beginning."

“……”

Soon, the images on the TV slowly switched, leading the audience to a picturesque place - Shangri-La.

"Shangri-La Yunnan, a primeval forest surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the air is cool during the rainy season, and it is not easy to follow in Dolma's footsteps as much as possible in a mixed forest of pine and oak trees."

With Yu Xian's pleasant and comfortable voice-over, the picture seems to really take the audience to keep up with Dolma's footsteps.

"Dolma and Grandma are looking for an elf-like food in the forest." In the picture, Zhuoma squatted down on his knees, using the wooden cane in his hand to remove the soil and weeds, and a budding edible fungus appeared in front of the audience in the form of a large close-up.

"What Dolma found under the pine needles was matsutake mushrooms, a precious edible mushroom. The fungus can only survive in unpolluted high-altitude mountain forests. ”

……

"Matsutake mushrooms belong to the aristocracy of wild mushrooms, and in restaurants in big cities, a serving of charcoal-grilled matsutake can cost 1,600 yuan. The aroma of matsutake mushrooms is intense, and when it is grilled, it is forced by the heat to produce a mineral aroma. This makes people who are far away from nature regard this object as a treasure. ”

"Deep-fried matsutake mushrooms are more common in matsutake mushroom producing areas. Melt the ghee in a black clay pot and top with the sliced raw matsutake mushrooms. The oil temperature causes the moisture on the surface of matsutake mushrooms to disappear quickly, and the aroma is revealed. High-end ingredients often only need to be cooked in the most modest way. ”

In front of the TV, all the viewers watched the close-up of matsutake slices being fried in a close-up shot, and there was a "clang" sound of oil and water exploding. First, the urban chef's iron plate grilling, and then the collector's black clay pot "dances" with ghee.

The people take food as their nature, and the Chinese people who were born in the heavenly kingdom of food, which one can resist the temptation of food?

The audience is not calm, and the foodies are even more likely to spell and smack their lips, and they are about to protest in their stomachs.

"If you miss the rainy season, the matsutake mushrooms will disappear without a trace."

"There are only two seasons in Yunnan: the dry season and the rainy season. From November every year, dry and warm winds blow mightily for the first half of the year. It wasn't until the end of May that the rain arrived at Shangri-La in Diqing Prefecture. The heavy rain caused all kinds of wild mushrooms in the primeval forest to grow wildly, but the miscellaneous fungi could not arouse the interest of Dolma and Grandma. ”

"Heavy rain is a gift from nature, and when the same is paid, good luck brings more harvest to Zhuoma."

After the matsutake mushroom was unearthed, Dolma immediately covered up the fungus pit with pine needles on the ground. Only in this way can the mycelium not be destroyed, and in order to continue the gift of nature, the villagers abide by the rules of the mountain forest. ”

In Shangri-La, the story related to matsutake mushrooms was told like this, and the audience couldn't get enough of it.

Some viewers have already discovered that "A Bite of China" is not a food show in the traditional sense, and it is also not the kind of dull documentary that instills knowledge in you. It is more like a cultural talk show, taking the audience through the camera and traveling around China in the name of finding food and appreciating folk traditions.

After the matsutake mushroom, the camera turned to the bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are also segmented, from spring shoots to summer shoots, and then winter shoots. After that, with the same soft transition, the perspective shifts to bacon, lotus root, fish, ......

From west to east, from north to south, across a variety of Chinese landforms, around a large circle, telling a story about the "gift of nature".

In front of the TV, some people's ancestors were fungus diggers, some people's ancestors were lotus root diggers, and some people's ancestors were fishermen and bamboo shoot diggers...... Corresponding to the picture on TV, it seems that it is the figure of his ancestors who worked hard many years ago.

Tiannan, the north of the earth, many customs of the land of China are fully displayed.

The more the audience watched, the more moved their hearts were, and the more proud and proud they were as the Chinese people and the descendants of Yan and Huang.

"On the first day of the new year, Stone put his head on the ice alone. In the spring, 500,000 catties of fish fry will be restocked into the lake, and the old man is still looking forward to the gifts in the frozen lake. ”

"When we enjoy food away from nature, we should be most grateful to these people for their labor and wisdom. Nature, on the other hand, repays and rewards humanity for her generosity and trustworthiness. ”

In the first episode, all the people who cooperated with the filming appeared in their hometowns in turn, and to the clear and gurgling soundtrack and Yu Xian's extremely magnetic voice, the simple laborers held the gifts they received from nature, and laughed brightly in front of the camera.

In the end, a fisherman dressed in red pouted and kissed the turtle in his hand, and the picture slowly dimmed, and the first episode of "A Bite of China" ended here.

Subsequently, the picture turned, and it was the preview of the second episode of "A Bite of China".

It's over.

This is the end of the less than 50-minute journey of Chinese humanities.

There was protest in the hearts of the audience, and there was a sense of loss in their hearts.

Especially in the last silhouette, it is clear that the people in the picture are smiling, but some emotional viewers in front of the TV quietly cry.

"Damn! I was starving to death, and I was forced to cry! ”

"I can't bear it anymore, I want takeout, I want to have a supper!"

"Poisoning in the middle of the night, heaven is intolerable!"

"I'm so angry, I can't watch one episode a day at all, I'm hungry ......"

"I can cry and eat after watching it, this is the only documentary!"

"No! Can't just leave me crying and eating salted fish! I'm going to 'poison' other people! ”

"Amway is good for my girlfriend!"

"Alas, I can't get enough of it, I feel a lot, write a Weibo to record it."

……

Soon, the audience who watched the first episode of "A Bite of China" began to spontaneously promote it, online forums, Qiandu stickers, comics, ...... Posts about "A Bite of China" appeared on the Internet, and the popularity soared.

Those who are ready to work the night shift are full of pictures from "A Bite of China", and they are ready to go to class for a while to Amway to their colleagues.

In addition, many people working and working in the news media have glimpsed this hot spot, and immediately look for a large number of resources, comprehensively organize them, and write news at night, just to be able to seize the opportunity tomorrow and take a superhuman step.
