The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Documentary???"

Zheng Weijie thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong.

He is a director who has only filmed online TV series, so why is he interested in making documentaries?

"Mr. Xu, did I hear it wrong?"

He asked subconsciously, and then secretly estimated.

"The cost of documentaries shouldn't be low..."

Documentaries are different from movies and TV shows. They involve a lot more. Take the simplest lens, the lens usually used to shoot movies. There is no way to meet the requirements of a more professional documentary. The price of suitable lens is usually It is several times or even ten times higher. In addition, some documentary materials are also troublesome, such as the most famous documentary "Animal World". The production team even has to go deep into the hinterland of the African continent and spend ten and a half days in uninhabited places. Moon, live with beasts and venomous insects.

It is precisely because of this that China’s documentaries have always been projected, funded, and filmed by TV stations. Naturally, they are broadcast on TV stations.

Compared with online TV dramas, documentaries are obviously much taller and synonymous with professionalism.

"I have an idea here. I am going to shoot a documentary. My client has investigated the situation in the industry and noticed your previous online TV series. I think you have quite potential."

Xu Rui didn't care about Zheng Weijie's astonishment, and explained.

Although Zheng Weijie has been in the industry for more than ten years, there seems to be something wrong with the term "potential", but being praised by others still makes him very happy.

"Have you seen Mr. Xu?"

"Well, although the acting skills of the characters in your TV series are very embarrassing and the plot is a bit boring, but the use of the lens is quite good, and the way of shooting food, I like it very much."

Xu Rui's words made Zheng Weijie not agree, nor did he not agree.

Obviously you are complimenting yourself, why does it always sound a little weird?

Zheng Weijie suddenly noticed something mentioned in Xu Rui's words.

"food?"

He confirmed.

"Yes, the heroine in your show is a chef, right? Then the hero is a picky, domineering president. He fell in love with her because he ate the dishes made by the heroine. There are many heroines who cook in the whole show. Scenes."

Xu Rui nodded.

"I was commissioning someone to find out which directors in the industry are good at shooting food-themed works. I found a few at the beginning, but either the schedule was not suitable, or they already had contracts with other film and television companies. In the end, they recommended your work to me."

Zheng Weijie listened and opened his mouth wide.

Yes, when he was filming that TV series, he was really concerned about food and food.

On the one hand, Zheng Weijie’s father is a chef. He started cooking under the influence of his father since he was a child. He has a good cooking skills. After learning photography, he also likes to take pictures of food. At first, of course, he was in the space. Sending photos late at night to repay the society, and later I also made some short films or something. That TV series was also filmed by Zheng Weijie because of such elements.

On the other hand, there is some helplessness, because the investors and the leading actors have brought money into the group, and the script and shooting are messed up. Zheng Weijie, who is unable to recover, can only play a little bit of his own initiative in cooking.

Unexpectedly, someone actually noticed his intentions, and even directly acquired the film and television company for this.

For an instant, Zheng Weijie felt like he finally met a bosom friend.

"Yes, that's the case. I have liked to take pictures of these foods since I was a child. I think China is a country with a wealth of food, but few people pay attention to everyone's daily meals, which is strange."

He replied, a little excited.

"I think so too. In fact, in China, food and culture are in the same line. The food reveals the ideas passed down by our ancestors. I am preparing a documentary on food culture, hoping to respond from the perspective of food. Volkswagen, what do you think of Director Zheng?"

Xu Rui's words made Zheng Weijie stunned, and then he fell into thinking.

Indeed, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "food is the heaven for the people". In the past, the most tribute used for sacrifices was food, and the Chinese people are best at farming. Even the entertainment works gave birth to such a unique style of farming stream. school.

Every time people meet, they always greet "have you eaten" cordially. This shows that eating is an important element in Chinese culture.

There are documentaries documenting water and ink, human geography, and documentaries looking at the stars and the sea, but only in China, a big foodie country, no one thought of filming a food documentary.

Zheng Weijie used to like to take pictures of food, just because he thinks that the hot and fresh food has a unique beauty, but now I want to come, maybe because I have seen many delicacies with his father since he was a child, so whenever he sees those foods, he sees those People who enjoy food, he will think of his father.

I remember the last time I went home, my father who had been retired for many years still insisted on making a New Year’s Eve dinner. Although the taste had changed due to his age, to Zheng Weijie, it was the taste of home.

"Actually, I have done market research here before. Food documentaries, and there are also a few in the industry, but those movies are more focused on cooking. They are all documentaries on cuisines. The technical part occupies too much, while the humanities part is It’s a bit small. I think this is the reason why these films are not widely circulated. I want to make some more down-to-earth works, and at the same time not only limit it to those exquisite food."

Xu Rui also said that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com does not seem to make this decision with a slap in the head, but after conducting certain market research and thinking before actually taking action.

"Although food documentaries are good, the framework of Chinese cuisine is too big. If you don't spend a lot of money to shoot, it is easy to create a one-sided impression. The most typical is the major cuisines, but if it is only for the pursuit of comprehensiveness, it is easy to lose its uniqueness. Sex, this is a bit difficult."

Zheng Weijie said, thought about it again, and said.

"Then, Mr. Xu, do you have any shooting direction?"

Humanities documentaries must ultimately be applied to people. If a kind of cuisine cannot find a story suitable for telling records, then it will be forced to be involved, and the look and feel will not be much better. Of course, China is so big, there will be no shortage of stories. , But the production team does not necessarily have so much time and energy to find it. This is a problem of time and funding.

"Well, I have considered this too."

Xu Rui replied, and then smiled mysteriously.

"Director Zheng, why don't we go have a barbecue and talk slowly?"
