Chapter 478 End of Season
Xinjiang, Hainan, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Shanghai...
With the broadcast of all eight episodes of the first season of Aerial China, the influence of this documentary has reached a peak.
It is still a long way from being known to everyone, but it is definitely a monument in the history of domestic documentaries.
The ratings of CCTV-9 hit a new high, and the viewing traffic on Huinong.com also broke previous records time and time again.
Among all the video websites, you stand out a bit. How come you, a farmer, have made a name for yourself in documentaries?
There is no way, Jiahe just likes to record. Only by recording can people remember the changes in the earth, mountains, rivers and know what Jiahe has done.
From "Million Forests" to "Aerial China", it is just a change of form of expression.
Through repeated trials and tribulations, the standard of Golden Harvest's documentary filming has gradually improved.
This aerial video of China, shot at great expense, is the culmination of all of these.
It caused a huge response in the country.
As the country's comprehensive strength increases, the shaping and dissemination of the national image becomes increasingly important.
After the entire film was broadcast, netizens and the media unanimously agreed that this was a brand new and good idea for "patriotism education."
Director Yu Le also said in an interview: "The film itself is not sentimental.
What we express is the theme of love, the passion for the mountains and rivers of our motherland, our gaze upon the world around us, and our beautiful vision for our common future.
The aerial perspective provides us with a huge scale contrast, which is the vastness of time and space.
You will feel that each of our lives in this land and this world is short-lived, and we should focus on broader issues and not dwell on momentary troubles. "
For several days, the program crew received a lot of attention and everyone showed their faces in front of the camera.
Talked about some interesting things during the filming process.
When a reporter asked about the difficulties in drone photography, the staff responsible for aerial photography told an interesting story in unison.
“Animals are usually timid and easily disturbed, and drones can often only capture their side or even back views.
But the tiger was an exception. Not only was it not afraid, it even turned around and chased the drone."
Many people were reminded of the tiger in the opening of the film, which was indeed very impressive.
This is also a place that many photography enthusiasts talk about.
As one media outlet commented:
"The film provides audiences with visual satisfaction with its unprecedented aerial perspective. Whether it is high-altitude shooting or close-up shooting, all aerial photography is used without any ground-based cameras for supplementary shooting, truly achieving the goal of 'looking down on China'.
Although it is a documentary, it expresses emotion through scenery, handles ideas and techniques appropriately, is good at capturing details, displays the beauty of details, and creates a unique artistic conception. "
In addition, travel enthusiasts also expressed deep emotion, and some left such comments on Huinong.com.
“After watching these eight episodes, even though I am a professional traveler who has traveled to nearly 30 provinces and seen countless beautiful landscapes, I am still constantly shocked by the magnificent scenery.
This is due to both the new perspective of aerial photography and the perfect selection of materials.”
"This is not only a documentary, but also a high-end tour guide. Each episode of the film has a clear plot line."
But in fact, this is a documentary for the general public. Children as young as seven or eight years old and seniors as old as eighty years old can all appreciate the nature and culture of the whole country through it.
On Huinong.com, netizens also left messages and gave likes.
"Any screenshot you take will turn out to be an ultra-high-definition, watermark-free, beautiful wallpaper that is so beautiful that you can't bear to blink, and you want to kneel down and sing the national anthem at any moment..."
“If you think about it, we watch Hollywood blockbusters, Japanese anime, British dramas, and South Korean stars. We know more about other cultures than our own.
You marvel at the grandeur of the Alps, but fail to see the immensity of the Qinling Mountains.
You yearn for the lavender in Provence, but you may not know that Yili also has a purple world and is a base for raw materials for cosmetics.
You envy the scenery of the Grand Canyon in the United States, but you don’t know that the Ghost City on the Sea in Altai is no less beautiful.”
In terms of ratings on Douban, Aerial China also reached 9.6 points at one point.
But as the number of moviegoers increased, the score slowly dropped, but it remained above 9.4 points.
Guo Yang also pays close attention to it. Not only does he watch TV every night, but he also reads online reviews during the day.
You have to watch it.
Someone calls him every day, and they all use documentaries as a starting point, which makes him happy while also allowing him to understand the local culture and customs so that they can chat more. Many of the callers are local dignitaries.
Yu Le also called him to discuss the filming of the second season.
After the first season received a huge response, some people inevitably had the idea of smuggling some personal ideas into the film for the second season.
Yu Le couldn't withstand this pressure.
Naturally, he is the only one who can handle it. Everything is based on quality, and external interference must not be allowed to affect the film.
He watched the first season in its entirety, and it was so good that it exceeded his expectations, with almost every province being outstanding.
Guo Yang is actually a little worried about the quality of the Magic City, the finale of the first season. The city area is relatively small and may not be able to support 50 minutes of content.
The Magic City episode in the original time and space is relatively worse than other episodes in the first season.
But this time Yu Le handled it very well. The stimulation of ideas and sharing of resources created this star-studded city.
As the Magic City at the estuary of the Yangtze River, even if it develops naturally, it will surely become a megacity.
When seeing this, Guo Yang thought of the Yellow River, where shipping was much worse. The first season ended perfectly, and Guo Yang also hopes to film the highlights of various places in the future, especially some areas with fewer scenic spots.
This requires taking the most beautiful shot.
It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer or costs a little more.
In the first season, for example, the actor waited for several days or even ten days just for a shot, which was highly praised by Guo Yang.
Yu Le also breathed a sigh of relief. With Guo Yang's support, he could go against some people without any worries.
There are actually quite a few documentaries about domestic nature and humanities, but most of them are shot abroad, such as Beautiful China and Wild China, which were produced in collaboration with the BBC, and China's Power, which was produced by an island country. Without exception, they all have many flaws.
Aerial photography of China is bound to have flaws, but as a director, he certainly wants perfection.
With Guo Yang helping him withstand the pressure from above, he will feel much more relaxed.
Guo Yang was not afraid either.
One day after the influence of the documentary spread, he received a call from the secretary of his superior, and not long after, he spoke to the superior.
When the project of aerial photography of China was first established, Guo Yang asked his leader to give him a heads-up as a condition.
But the results achieved also attracted the attention of the leader, who mentioned aerial photography of China as the first thing he spoke.
"I watched it. It uses geography as a blueprint and deeply penetrates into human history, bringing a visual feast to the audience. The film is excellent."
Whenever he received an important call, Guo Yang would habitually stand in front of the window and look at the Qilian Mountains, which would help him calm down.
"We have to thank our leaders for their help. Without your help, the major military commands would not have cooperated so well. Outsiders would not have been able to take some pictures even if they wanted to."
"How dare you say that, kid? I saw you guys showing off silently in Shaanxi Province. Hey, others can't take pictures, but you can, right?"
The leader cursed with a smile, then quickly changed his tone.
"How's it going over there, Ah San?"
Guo Yang sighed inwardly, "As expected, the leader was willing to say hello at that time. It was Guo Yang who won the leader's favor by involving and even destroying Asan Agriculture."
"We have achieved some initial results. Ahsan may have a bumper sugarcane harvest this year."
"Harvest?"
"In the short term, there will be a strong backlash in two years. The same is true for cotton. It will be enough to make India suffer."
Guo Yang said two sentences briefly and to the point.
After a moment of silence, Guo Yang thought his leader was thinking, but he was stunned by his next words.
"You didn't send me an invitation for your wedding?"
"You can come..." Halfway through his words, Guo Yang realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately changed his words, "My mistake, the invitation is still being prepared, and I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible."
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, young man. You have to keep a close eye on Ah San."
"okay!"
After the call, Guo Yang, who was standing in front of the window, suddenly wanted to have a cigarette, but eventually sat down to drink tea.
"It seems that aerial photography of China is just a condiment for the leaders. The real main course is the international situation."
With a sigh, Guo Yang was also thinking about the situation in India. The Xanthoceras sorbifolia was in good harvest, and the calls for the Red Flag River in the country had never stopped.
The news about Hongqi River has already spread in India. Many people are wary of it and the number of immigrants in southern Tibet is also increasing.
The longer you delay, the bigger the tail will become.
But Cheng Di's actions were actually very fast, and crop propagation is bound to have time limits.
The sugarcane planting for this summer has been completed.
As expected, there was a significant increase in sugarcane area, but the first batch of sugarcane fields also had some adverse effects and the soil was damaged.
But they are all overshadowed by the extremely high output.
Farmers also believe that the damaged land can be restored after one or two years of rest.
After drinking tea for a while, Guo Yang sat in front of the computer and looked at the email sent back by Cheng Di. He would send emails to Guo Yang regularly.
The file records some approximate data.
After having a clear idea in mind, Guo Yang checked the current sugar and futures position data.
The price of sugar was falling sharply, and he made a lot of profit, but what surprised him was that the price of international cotton futures was also falling sharply.
Is the feedback from Indian cotton so fast?
Guo Yang directly denied it. He had just read the email sent by Cheng Di. This year is only the first year of expansion and promotion. It is not Asan's fault.
It won’t be due to domestic reasons.
Although the account's profits were increasing, Guo Yang instinctively felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a while, Guo Yang contacted fund managers Lian Jie and Yang Rui and got an answer that was unexpected yet seemingly reasonable.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report, raising this year's cotton production in the United States.
Not only cotton, but also the output of crops such as corn and soybeans was increased. The Americans claimed that Monsanto had solved the problem.
