    "Speak with facts, Focus Interview!" "Hello, audience friends, welcome to watch the "Focus Interview" special report "The Rise of Documentaries." Jing Yidan introduced calmly: "In the past half month, this The station has launched a new "Charming Documentary" column at 22:40 every night, which is dedicated to broadcasting excellent domestic documentaries. The first documentary is the "A Bite of China" food documentary that is now popular in China. "China" is written and directed by my country's famous international director Wan Xiaohu. Famous directors Ning Hao, Ren Changzhen, Liu Yang, Cheng Er, Lu Jianqing, Wu Ershan and Hu Yingying serve as episode directors. It introduces Chinese food and the humanistic stories behind it. Documentary. After its premiere on March 19, it immediately became the focus of national attention and triggered a lot of discussion and praise. "What kind of reason can make a documentary attract so many topics and receive such praise?" How many people are paying attention to it and has it become the hottest focus at the moment? With this question in mind, the "Focus Interview" column team specially made this report on "The Rise of Documentaries". Jing Yidan finished his opening remarks and the scene jumped to "On the Tip of the Tongue". "China" screen, and then there is a narration.  "The documentary "A Bite of China" targets audiences not just for 'foodies' who like delicious food. Executive director Ning Hao said that when filming, the crew targeted the audience as ordinary people, and said that the  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 stories between people and food, we can see society through food and show it to the audience.  Traditional farming in China also tells the audience that many Chinese traditions are changing, and some of the people appearing in the film are likely to be the last generation of people who inherit the craftsmanship. The documentary captures the food that carries the spirit of the Chinese people. "The picture flashed, Ning.  Hao appears in front of the camera.  No reporter, only a microphone: "The ratings of "A Bite of China" are very high. The impact of the program is also huge. When you were making this documentary, did you ever think that it would have such a big impact?" Ning Hao seemed to be  Sitting behind the monitor at the filming site of "Golden Heist": "I have imagined it because when we were planning, we invested a lot of money. When several of us directors discussed it with Wan Xiaohu, we just said, don't be overly sensational.  , don¡¯t be casual and exaggerated, don¡¯t introduce dishes that cost more than 50 yuan, but introduce the relationship between people and the family changes of the people who cook the food.¡± ¡°What motivated you to shoot this.  "Wan Xiaohu proposed it. He had a lot of ideas. He said we should make a food documentary and try the documentary theme, and then we started working on the script and planning. ""A Bite of China" has such a huge influence.  But there are only seven episodes, and many viewers are still not satisfied. Will there be a sequel? " "It depends on the situation. After all, we directors, except for Ren Changzhen and Hu Yingying, are all film directors. Now Wan Xiaohu has no time to film "".  "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," I want to shoot "The Golden Heist," Wu Ershan wants to shoot "Painted Skin," and Liu Yang wants to shoot "Ip Man," and Cheng Er and Lu Jianqing are also planning new movies." Ning Hao answered.  Question, while not forgetting to take the opportunity to promote the movie.  Then, there was another narration, introducing the main creative staff of the "A Bite of China" crew.  After the introduction of the main creative staff, Wan Xiaohu appeared.  Sitting on a boss¡¯s chair, the iconic Sanqi development type.  The hair is neatly combed.  This was an interview in Wan Xiaohu¡¯s office on the top floor of the Dandelion Building.  The entire office is spacious and bright. There are four treasures of the study and several documents on the table, which is the decoration of the entire office.  They are all high-end and high-end.  However, on the wall behind Wan Xiaohu¡¯s chair, there is a calligraphy and painting that is particularly conspicuous and ruins the style.  This is a painting of calligraphy, framed in a gilt frame.  There are four big characters "Successful Person" written on it, signed by Wan Xiaohu's own name.  ¡° In such an elegant office, to have such a cool calligraphy appear and to be on such a high-end program is simply shocking.  Many viewers almost burst out laughing on the spot.  Wan Xiaohu, who was interviewed in "Focus Interview", on the contrary, accepted the interview with a straight face and a serious face.  The reporter still saw only the microphone but no one: "Director Wan, how did you come up with the idea of ??filming a subject like "A Bite of China"? Are you also a foodie like many viewers think of you?" "To be precise, I am not  As a foodie, I don¡¯t know much about food, and I¡¯m not picky about food. The reason why I want to make a documentary like this is more because I want to?This is a way to convey something that has been ignored by us.  And I actually wanted to make documentaries a long time ago.  " "Director Wan, you are a prolific film director, and I should say you are very busy. Why do you still make documentaries?  " "Director, you are creating stories, while documentaries are more like preserving history. It is a mirror and an indispensable photo album for a country.  Our country¡¯s current investment in documentaries is not very large. In fact, to improve a country¡¯s comprehensive national strength, you have to improve both soft and hard aspects. The cultural industry is the most direct manifestation of soft power.  We are now vigorously developing the film industry, which is necessary, but we cannot ignore the development of culture in other aspects. The same is true for documentaries. If I can do my part, I will definitely do so.  " "Now that "A Bite of China" has begun to be rebroadcast on CCTV 2, and it has also caused a certain response overseas, have you ever thought about it, can it play a role in promoting Chinese culture?  "    "of course.  "Wan Xiaohu said with certainty, "When I assigned the script task, I told this team that we should not only see it domestically, we should show it to foreigners.  I also assigned them tasks. I said you should study the BBC documentaries and see how others make documentaries.  We don't deliberately beautify or use data to express it. We have one goal, sincerity.  " "In other words, this documentary was open to everyone at home and abroad from the beginning?  " "Yes, several countries have come to us now, hoping to purchase the copyright.  Moreover, we have also received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival, hoping that "A Bite of China" will participate in the documentary screening.  We also hope that more foreigners can see this documentary.  " Even if it is this kind of official public opinion program, Wan Xiaohu has no scruples in chatting and can say whatever he wants. At his current position, no one can stop him from saying something. And in China, this official  Once a country in its own right becomes successful, it will eventually want to get involved in politics. As the ancient scholar Fan Zhongyan said: "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."  " Wan Xiaohu is now prosperous and wants to express his own ideas or political opinions more. It's okay for a public servant to call a beast, but why can't he, a great director, still not be able to do so? " Therefore, in "Focus Interview", Wan Xiaohu  Xiaohu opened up and said, "The reason why I made "A Bite of China" is for my purpose. In addition to what I said before, I want to convey Chinese culture, and more importantly, I want to show China.  Because I often travel between China and the United States for filmmaking, I can deeply feel that the people in the two countries do not understand each other.  " "Many people in China always think that Western countries are so much better and that Westerners live in the Kingdom of Heaven. In fact, this is not the case. Westerners have different lifestyles from us. I have met many Americans who are also oppressed by life and can't breathe.  , have to face a lot of bills every day, and even live on the streets.  " "And Westerners have even deeper misunderstandings about Chinese life. I remember that an American agency released a human rights report in China and took several sets of photos. The picture above may be a rural family eating fried leeks around the table, and then it  There is a text next to it that says, "Farmers in western China live in dire straits and eat weeds to survive."  '" "There is also a TV station from Canada or some other country, saying that only 300,000 powerful people in China can afford to drink Coke Do you think these contents are ridiculous, but many people in Western developed countries still believe it to be true, and their understanding of China is still unclear.  Staying in the last century, we still thought that China could not feed its people and was poor and backward.  "To be honest, although I have been praised by many people in the United States, I still feel a little out of place.  They give me the feeling that you are coming from a backward country to a developed country. In fact, I am just here to make money, and I feel that China now has more business opportunities than anywhere else in the world.  " "Why is this? We think that the Western world has all kinds of good life, but foreigners think that we eat grass and cannot afford to drink Coke?  Because Western countries are good at propaganda. Their movies, TV series, documentaries, and various forms of cultural propaganda are very good. They bring out all the good sides of themselves.  " "Look at China again, why did the General Secretary say during the meeting that we need to improve our soft power?  Because we don¡¯t know how to show ourselves, our lives are getting better and better, and everyone is rushing to be well-off, but others don¡¯t know.  Our previous films with rural themes cannot be said to be bad. Many of them have strong artistic quality. Such films should be produced. This is our humanistic tradition. However, we have too few films that show modern life and cannot be sold.  " "This is why I like to make commercial films. I think I can borrow??This opportunity is to show the changes in all aspects of China and let the world see China. Oh, look, how beautiful the magic city is, a cosmopolitan city, this is China.  We are going to hold the Olympic Games. I was discussing with Zhang Yimou a while ago how to arrange the opening ceremony. I said that we should invite the troops to come over and rehearse. We must show our best side to the world.  ""A Bite of China" was also prompted by my thoughts. Didn't you say that we rural people are still eating grass? I will take pictures to show you how our rural families live and how our working people live.  , we Chinese people are so beautiful, kind, hard-working and simple.  Chinese people living overseas, take a look. As the motherland becomes stronger, you must have more confidence and live a good life outside, right?  "
