"There has never been a Chinese documentary that has achieved such a strong influence. Wan Xiaohu can always do incredible things. Many people say that Wan Xiaohu's movies are empty in content and lack the care of people with a Chinese flavor. Now these words appear It is especially ridiculous, "The Wind" has changed the rigid image of the main theme, and "The Kingdom on the Bite of the Tongue" has a sense of pride in a big country, which is the best publicity for nationalization!"

PS: Comments by American writer Shen Rui, this is taken from one of her chapters, titled "The Country on the Bite of the Tongue: How Good Is It?" ", when Lao Bai watched it at the beginning, he was disgusted by this old woman, so I will disgust everyone here, haha.

In addition, don't talk about Lao Bai's rumors, everyone pays attention to the recent government news, and criticizes the Academy of Social Sciences by name, saying that a large number of experts and scholars of the Academy of Social Sciences have been infiltrated point-to-point by foreign forces and must be thoroughly investigated.According to the unified deployment of the Central National Security Committee, from May to the end of July [-], it is planned to conduct a nationwide comprehensive and thorough investigation of foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their activities in China to find out the bottom line.

0308【Interview】

"Speak with facts, focus interview!"

"Hi, viewers, welcome to the "Focus" special report "The Rise of Documentaries."

Jing Yidan introduced calmly: "In the past half a month, this station has opened a new column "Charm Records" at 22:40 every night, which is dedicated to broadcasting excellent domestic documentaries, and the first documentary is now "A Bite of the Tongue" food documentary that is popular all over the country."

"The Country on the Bite of the Tongue" is written and directed by Wan Xiaohu, a famous international director in my country. Famous directors Ning Hao, Ren Changzhen, Liu Yang, Cheng Er, Lu Jianqing, Wu Ershan and Hu Yingying are the directors of the episodes, introducing Chinese food and the stories of the people behind it. A large-scale high-definition documentary. After its premiere on March 3, it immediately became the focus of national attention and aroused many discussions and praises."

"What kind of reason can make a documentary get so many topics, attract so many people's attention, and become the hottest focus nowadays? With such questions in mind, the "Focus Interview" column team made a special This issue of "The Rise of the Documentary" reports."

After Jing Yidan finished the opening speech, the screen jumped to the screen of "A Bite of the Tongue", and then there was a narration.

"The documentary "The Country on the Bite of the Tongue" is not only aimed at the 'foodies' who like food. The executive director Ning Hao said that when filming, the crew targeted the audience as ordinary people, and said that The goal of the film is to use food as a window to allow audiences at home and abroad to appreciate the beauty of Chinese food, and then perceive China's cultural traditions and social changes."

"By showing the story between people and food, looking at society through food, showing the audience the country of traditional farming, but also telling the audience that the traditions of many countries are changing, and some people appearing in the film are likely to be the last generation to inherit the craft people, the documentary shoots the food that carries the spirit of the Chinese people.”

The screen flashed, and Ning Hao appeared in front of the camera.

There was no reporter, only a microphone: "The ratings of "A Bite of the Tongue" are very high. The impact of the program is also huge. When you made this documentary, did you think that it would have such a big impact?"

Ning Hao seemed to be on the set of filming "The Golden Heist", sitting behind the monitor: "I thought about it, because when we planned it, the investment was huge. When our directors discussed with Wan Xiaohu, we said it." , don’t be overly sensational, don’t be exaggerated, don’t introduce dishes that cost more than 50 yuan, but introduce the relationship between people and food, and the family changes of people who make food. The audience will see a different documentary.”

"What motivated you to make this documentary?"

"Wan Xiaohu proposed. He has many ideas. He said that we should make a food documentary, try the documentary theme, and then start to make scripts and plans."

""A Bite of the Tongue" has such a great influence, but there are only seven episodes, and many viewers are still unsatisfied. Will there be a sequel?"

"It depends on the situation. After all, all of us directors, except Ren Changzhen and Hu Yingying, are film directors. Now we don't have time. Wan Xiaohu wants to shoot "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in Hollywood, and I want to shoot "Golden Heist". Wu Ershan is going to make "Painted Skin", and Liu Yang is going to make "Question". Cheng Er and Lu Jianqing are also planning a new movie." While answering the question, Ning Hao did not forget to take the opportunity to promote the movie.

Then, there was another narration, introducing the main creators of the crew of "A Bite of the Tongue".

After the introduction of the main creators, Wan Xiaohu appeared.

Sitting on a boss chair, the iconic Panax notoginseng development model.The comb is bright and bright.This is an interview at Wan Xiaohu's office on the top floor of the Dandelion Building.The entire office is spacious and bright, with Fang Sibao and several documents on the table, which is the decoration of the entire office.They are all high-end.

However, on the wall behind Wan Xiaohu Chair, there is a calligraphy and painting, which is particularly conspicuous and destroys the style.

This is a brush calligraphy framed in a gilt frame.

There are four big characters in cursive script "successful people" on it, and the inscription is Wan Xiaohu's own name.

In such an elegant office, there is such a cool calligraphy, and such a high-end program, it is simply amazing.

Many viewers burst into laughter almost on the spot.

However, Wan Xiaohu, who was interviewed by "Focus Interview", was on the contrary with a straight face, accepting the interview seriously.

The reporter still only saw the microphone but no one: "Director Wan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​filming a subject like "A Bite of the Tongue"? It's like what many viewers think of you. Are you also a foodie?"

"To be precise, I'm not a foodie. I don't do much research on food, and I'm not picky about food. The reason why I want to make such a documentary is more because I want to use this way to convey some of the things that are loved by us. Neglected things. And I actually wanted to make a documentary a long time ago."

"Director Wan, you are a prolific film director, you should be very busy, why do you still want to make documentaries?"

"Director, you create stories. Documentaries are more like preserving history. It is a mirror and an indispensable photo album for a country. Our country does not invest a lot in documentaries now. In fact, to improve a country's comprehensive national strength, soft You have to improve both hard and hard aspects. The chemical industry is the most direct embodiment of soft power. We are now vigorously developing the film industry, which is necessary, but we cannot ignore the development of other aspects of the film industry. The same is true for documentaries. If I can do my part, and I definitely will."

"Now that "A Bite of the Tongue" has started to be rebroadcasted on CCTV [-], and it has aroused certain repercussions overseas, have you ever wondered, can it play a role in promoting localization?"

"Of course." Wan Xiaohu said with certainty, "When I assigned the script task, I told this team that we should not only see the domestic, we should show it to foreigners. I also arranged for them Task, I said that you should learn from BBC documentaries and see how other people make documentaries. We don’t deliberately beautify, but deliberately use data to express, we have one goal, sincerity.”

"That is to say, this documentary is aimed at everyone at home and abroad from the beginning?"

"Yes, there are already several countries that have approached us hoping to purchase copyrights. And we have also received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival, hoping that "A Bite of the Tongue" will be screened in the documentary segment. We also hope that more Foreigners, watch this documentary."

Even with this kind of official public opinion program, Wan Xiaohu has no scruples when chatting, and can say whatever he wants.At his current position, no one can stop him from saying something.

And in a country where officials are the standard, once they get ahead, they will eventually want to have a hand in politics.

As the ancient man Fan Zhongyan said: "If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world."

Wan Xiaohu is well-developed now, and wants to express his thoughts more, or his political views.It is said that the public is called a beast, but he is a great director, can't say it.

Therefore, in "Focus Interview", Wan Xiaohu opened up.

"The reason why I made "A Bite of the Tongue" is my purpose. Apart from what I said before, to convey the nationalization, the more important thing is to show the country. Because of the filming, I often travel between China and the United States. , I can deeply feel that the people of the two countries do not understand each other."

"Many people in China always think that Western countries are so good and so good, and that Westerners live in heaven. In fact, it is not the case. Westerners have a different way of life from us. I have met many Americans, and they are also oppressed by life. I have to face a lot of bills every day, and even live on the street."

"And Westerners have even deeper misunderstandings about the lives of Chinese people. I remember that an American organization released a report on the rights of Chinese people and took a few groups of photos. It may be a rural family eating fried leeks around a table, and then served with A passage that says, 'Farmers in the western part of the country live in dire straits and eat weeds to survive.'”

"There is also a TV station in Canada or another country, saying that only 30 rich and powerful in China can afford Coke... You say these things are ridiculous, but many people in western developed countries still believe it. Their understanding of China is still on the rise. After staying for a century, they still think that the country cannot support its own people, and they are poor and backward.”

"To be honest, although I was praised by many people in the United States, I still felt a little out of place. They gave me the feeling that you are from a backward country and defected to their developed country. In fact, I just want to make money. , and I think China now has more business opportunities than anywhere else in the world."

"Why is this so? We think that the Western world has a good life, and foreigners think that we eat grass and can't afford Coke? Because Western countries will promote it. Their movies, TV series, documentaries and other forms of propaganda are very It is in place, and it has brought out its good side to publicize."

"If you look at the country again, why did the general secretary say in a meeting that we need to improve our soft power? Because we don't know how to show ourselves. Our life is getting better and better. Everyone is going to be well-off, but others don't know. Our previous films, with rural themes, can’t be said to be bad, many of them have a strong artistic quality, there should be such films, this is our human tradition, but our films showing modern life are too few to be sold.”

"That's why I like to make commercial films. I think I can take this opportunity to show the changes in all aspects of the country, so that the world can see the country. Oh, you see, the magic city is so beautiful, a cosmopolitan metropolis, this is China. We are going to host the Olympics, and I was discussing with Zhang Yimou a while ago how to arrange the opening ceremony, and I said to bring the army to rehearse, and we will show the best side to the world."

""The Country on the Bite of the Tongue" was also prompted by my idea. Didn't you say that we rural people are still eating grass? I will show you how our rural families live. Our working people, How beautiful, kind, industrious, and honest our people are. Chinese living overseas, you should also see that the motherland is strong, and you should have more confidence and live a good life outside, right? "
