I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 286 Finale: Flavor Journey! ! (Second update!)

"In today's increasingly homogeneous world."

"Food is still obsessed with its own size."

"When we look at the bigger, the smaller, the farther, and the closer."

"Revisiting the taste of the planet."

"You'll find that human beings are so alike and yet so different."

"Through the north and south, across the east and west, we will open a dazzling visual feast for you."

"Welcome to the global flavor tour."

The thick and magnetic narration makes the whole picture immersive.

The beginning of the episode feels a lot of familiarity.

Various foods from previous episodes appeared.

Like blue cheese, wheat, ravenche, etc.

The characters who appeared earlier also appear.

For example, Yang Yuqing and Lao Yu's family.

But outside of these shots, there are many out of place characters.

They wear modern clothes, but their faces are dusty.

Holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.

His eyes were focused on several cameras.

People are suddenly separated from the beauty created in the previous picture.

But it didn't feel awkward.

Because Xiao Zhang knows that this is the behind-the-scenes team of "A Bite of Tongue 2".

Such a distinctive opening scene surprised Xiao Zhang.

Because the previous "Bite of the Tongue" never had any characters from the team join in.

Xiao Zhang felt faintly in his heart that this episode was full of differences from many previous episodes.

Can't help but continue to read with anticipation.

At the beginning, the picture returned to the wheat field growing in Iran.

The continuous wheat was planted all the way from the gentle hillside to the flat land.

A patchwork of high and low wheat in different shades.

It is what makes this place unique.

Xiao Zhang was taken aback.

Isn't this where the wheat is introduced in the episode "Let's Get Roots"?
Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing a hat and a silk scarf led three off-road vehicles through the wheat field.

While looking around, he still held the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"We can stop at any time when we see a beautiful view later."

"Yeah, I saw a lot of scenery on the way here."

The voice from the walkie-talkie made the girl's searching eyes even firmer.

The girl's name is Zhang Min, and she is the director of the episode "Landing Roots".

Today, I traveled thousands of miles to the plains of Iran.

Just to find the legendary wild wheat.

In order to add more taste to the material of "Landing and Rooting".

The journey along the way made the whole team look dusty, with a touch of plateau red on their faces.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Min came to an old Iranian farmer with an interpreter.

At this point they had a new problem.

That is, the wheat seeds in Iran are completely different from the ones Zhang Min collected.

When collecting information, Zhang Min saw that there were 40-60 seeds in a millet of wheat.

But when I came to Iran, I found that there are only 10-18 wheat seeds in this area.

It seems that the difference is only quantitative.

But a slight difference is to mislead the audience.

At this time, Zhang Min asked several other old farmers to ask.

Get an answer that is biased toward unity.

That's the kind of wheat seed Chang Min was looking for.

relatively difficult to distinguish.

If you really want to tell the difference, you can go to the goat.

Because goats like to eat that kind of wheat.

For Zhang Minkai who lived in the city since childhood.

Different wheat seeds seem to have ten thousand variations in her eyes.

It made her confused.

In the end, Zhang Min couldn't help but said to the translator.

"Now go and help me find a few sheep to come to the meeting with, and ask me which kind of wheat they like to eat."

"Hahahaha sheep are not hard to find, the main reason is that the translation of sheep is hard to find."

The translator is also very understanding of Zhang Min's mental state of having fun while suffering.

It fits very well.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud.

This episode of "Bite of the Tongue 2" puts the camera behind the scenes from the food itself.

It tells the filming process of a group of staff who filmed "A Bite of Tongue 2".

The lens outside the lens makes Xiao Zhang feel very substituting.

As if being yourself as a staff member.

It's the same as personally participating in the creation of "A Bite of Tongue 2".

This made Xiao Zhang, the audience, feel extremely fresh.

For Zhang Min's team, it was the first time to come to Iran.

Many things make them feel new and curious.

This unique culture has accumulated a lot of material for their shooting.

In addition to filming, Zhang Min even chatted happily with local children in English.

The food shoot in Iran went well.

But the wild wheat that Zhang Min is looking for is still no idea.

She decided to seek help from a botanist thousands of kilometers away.

But looking around, the wheat is in groups.

The mobile phone signal is rough.

Zhang Min held his mobile phone high and kept looking for a place with a signal in the wheat field.

In the end, a picture was slowly transmitted by relying on a weak signal.

People in the team are still concerned about Zhang Min's confirmation.

A voice came through the intercom.

"Sister Min, has your message been sent? Everyone is waiting for confirmation."

"Okay, okay, Dr. Deng sent me a message, saying that what I was looking for earlier was wild emmer wheat, and the rough goat grass and emmer wheat I was looking for earlier were both."

Zhang Min looked very happy looking at the news coming from the phone.

Quickly shared the news.

Finally, after repeated searches, there was a perfect answer.

Zhang Min finally found the wild wheat she was looking for.

"A long history of reproduction and evolution, countless accidents and migrations."

"The world's rich and colorful wheat varieties have been achieved."

"It also took root in different cultural regions."

"There are thousands of completely different cuisines from the East and the West."

See here.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Golden yellow wheat flashing in front of the camera.

It was the answer obtained after the entire film crew traveled to Iran and experienced countless verifications and verifications.

Behind the seemingly beautiful shots is the consumption of countless manpower and material resources.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but respect the people behind the scenes in his heart.

Then, the screen turned.

Came into a dark night where you can't see your fingers.

In the dark night, off-road vehicle lights are the only lighting tool.

The location where the car moved has also become the only remaining road sign.

Because with the night comes heavy snow.

While the white snow puts new clothes on the earth.

Also covers up all references.

Let the temperature get cold and the car becomes difficult to drive.

The beautiful and harmless snow is inexplicably full of danger.

But it was such a dangerous night.

The film crew of the first episode, Between the Mountain and the Sea, had to rush to the Xingjiang Altai Mountains overnight.

in the next few days.

They will go deep into no man's land to photograph the most traditional winter food in Kazakhstan.

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the nearest township.

In the director's alley between the mountains and the sea, I found that the car had not been out for a long time.

The phone completely loses signal.

Even the roads under the wheels are gradually being replaced by mountain roads.

Hutong smiled at the camera.

"I found that modern skills are completely useless here."

To the place, the next day.

The film crew is going to shoot the horses.

The whole body is tightly wrapped in the alley, and a vicissitudes of life face is red from the cold.

At this moment, he said to the camera.

"We are going to shoot the herders' lathering horses today."

"Because their collar horses are completely free-range."

"We don't know exactly where it is, we can only drive the car and pull the equipment."

"Follow them all the way to find."

This time, they were very lucky.

It didn't take long to search the Gobi before they found the herd of horses.

Shooting horses is not that simple.

Shooting from a distance doesn't work.

Photographers want to be as close to them as possible.

But photograph wild horses.

The risk is also great!

On the vast snow-white land.

The horses are galloping.

Herdsmen galloped across the Gobi with their horses in one hand and eagles in the other.

A majestic and magnificent picture is displayed in front of the camera.

But under the lens outside the lens.

It was a group of film crews holding their cameras tremblingly.

Stand together, and always be on the lookout for a horse that is coming out of nowhere.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhang became more and more admirable for the filming of "Bite of the Tongue 2".

It is not only the migration of species across mountains and seas.

There are also this group of recorders who follow and shoot.

Without their records, there would not be such amazing dozens of seconds that the audience saw on TV.

On the third day, the temperature continued to drop.

When the film crew spoke, they were all breathing heavily.

Every piece of equipment on the film crew needs electricity.

In the vast Gobi, only one generator is used to maintain the electricity used by the equipment.

But due to low temperature.

The generator appeared to have stopped working.

The guide hurriedly tried to find a way to start the generator.

In the house, the film crew is using the remaining power to shoot the herdsmen making Kurzak.

After some inspection, it was found that the generator was due to the low temperature.

The pipe froze, so the guide placed heated charcoal under the pipe.

After several attempts, the generator was finally activated.

It is not enough for the photographer's camera to strike in the middle of shooting.

Filming also went smoothly.

"The place we're staying at now is called the South Gobi Grassland."

"It looks like the Gobi desert in summer."

"It is very difficult for people to come in. Herdsmen only come in during winter."

"The next heavy snow that can survive will come in."

"Because there is no drinking water source in this place, the drinking water problem for people and livestock can only be solved after heavy snow falls."

"That's why they turn around during the winter."

"We came here mainly to photograph how herdsmen adapt to the local environment and their survival wisdom."

"When the herdsmen come to the winter pasture, they will make a lot of meat for storage."

"Until next spring."

The voice of the director's alley became the narration.

While explaining the purpose of their trip to shoot.

On the one hand, I am amazed by the traditional habits of Kazakhstan.

But they don't know that they themselves have become a part of the winter pasture that cannot be ignored.

Winter Ranch is deserted, and there are no modern rules of survival here.

The herdsmen have used their wisdom to find a way to live in harmony with nature.

No matter how harsh the living environment is, it cannot hinder their yearning for delicious food and a better life.

The camera gradually moves away from the winter pasture.

But Xiao Zhang's impression of this piece of Gobi has not dissipated.

Going to the sky and entering the earth is his first impression of the filming team of "Bite of the Tongue 2".

From Iran to the Gobi.

It seems that there is no difficulty that they cannot overcome.

The screen changed again and came to Sanya.

Compared with the severe cold in Xingjiang, another film crew is bathing in warm sunshine at this time.

The birth of pottery allowed humans to skillfully use fire and cook for the first time.

But the most primitive pottery workshop is hard to find.

The two directors of this episode, Ruan Rou and Wang Tian, ​​after many twists and turns, finally ended up in the downtown area of ​​Sanya.

Found a small village that still holds pottery.

As soon as the picture changed, several old grandmas who were over seventy years old were making pottery under the tree.

And the lens outside the lens.

Ruan Rou and Wang Tian faced the camera and told why they appeared here.

"This episode of our show, The Red Dust, mainly talks about the relationship between food and water."

"And after selection, I intend to use pottery to express the connection between them."

There is a lake at the back of the village.

Ruan Rou and Wang Tian talked happily to the camera.

"Yesterday morning, we were going to photograph the water used to burn paper pottery."

"Then we drove around here all the time, but we couldn't find a satisfactory place."

"In the end I said I'd look at where the clay was being dug, and I was lucky enough to find this place."

A small discovery can make the entire film crew feel very excited.

Because it means that they can use a more beautiful lens to show the audience what they want to express.

This kind of small satisfaction also unknowingly substituted into Xiao Zhang's emotions.

The pottery of the Li nationality is passed on from female to male, and outsiders are not allowed to be present when the pottery is fired.

In order to photograph this traditional technique.

The old people made an exception and let the film crew stay here.

Record the whole process on site.

The dry grass ignites the coconut shells, creating persistent heat.

The grass ash protective layer naturally forms an ash kiln.

Let the temperature inside be relatively stable.

What followed was a long wait of several hours.

under the sun.

None of the film crew left.

They were all afraid of missing the scene of the birth of pottery.

After two hours, peel off the plant ash.

A room of brown-red pottery was born in the dirt.

But it still can't cover up their light.

It couldn't hide the smiles on the faces of everyone at the scene.

Looking at the camera, Wen Wen and Wang Tian who are not a few years older than him.

At this moment, he has become the director of the episode.

This made Zhang feel envious, but also yearned for the team of "A Bite of the Tongue 2".

In the process of filming a documentary, although there are hardships.

But with a group of like-minded people, hard work seems to be a lot easier.

The documentary shows the beauty to the audience at the same time.

It is also creating unique memories for this group of people behind the scenes.

Their experiences are the envy of many of their peers.

It also made Xiao Zhang feel admirable.

Willing to give up sitting in the office, running all over the world.

This is something that many young people cannot do today.

The lens turns.

Peel away the clouds.

Came to a small mountain village.

The small mountain village built among the mountains is accompanied by the morning fog.

It looks wild.

On a rough and difficult road.

Several off-road vehicles are driving.

Guangqi!

Chief director Xu Wen revisited his hometown.

Facing this small mountain village that I visited when filming "A Bite of Tongue 1".

Xu Wen was very moved.

Explain to the camera.

"You said that they are really powerful, and they can find delicious food from the taste of corruption."

"In Iceland, a country thousands of miles away, they also eat corrupt shark meat."

"Because there is a toxin in shark meat, it must be rotten before it can be eaten."

"More importantly, they can also find the source of umami taste from this corruption, which is amino acids."

Thirty kilometers away.

The film crew of Wanjia Lights is nervously filming.

The film crew came here for the flavor of this village that has lasted for hundreds of years.

"We are here this time to photograph the sour ducks of the Guangqi Dong people."

"Of all the sour foods, the most precious is the sour duck."

The photographer said with a smile.

The protagonist of today's filming is Yang Yuqing.

Tomorrow the whole village will hold a birthday party for Yang Yuqing's granddaughter.

Sour duck is the main delicacy.

But the shooting process was not smooth.

Because the host's family is celebrating their birthday.

Busy for several days in a row, and people who rushed over from a few kilometers away.

It made Yang Yuqing unable to cooperate with the film crew's shooting many times.

A busy day and night.

As usual, the film crew discussed the day's footage.

"The ratio of light and shadow, the sense of breathing, and the tension are basically all there is no problem."

"But as I said, your strength is not concentrated, and there are too many things attracted in the middle."

In the hotel room, after Xu Wen checked today's shooting materials, he gave his opinion to the filming team.

At this time, a planner said.

"Ms. Xu, that's the sour duck that the protagonist of our filming has been hiding for five years."

"We never knew where it was, but it was actually in Aunt Yang's bedroom."

"She said she never let people in, regardless of men and women, unless they are married, what should I do?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Wen smiled.

"This constitutes a story. On the outside, the food is photographed, but it actually tells a story of racial continuation."

A locked detail made the film crew find a way.

After several days of waiting, Yang Yuqing finally had time to participate in the filming of the film crew.

Gourmet.

A family or even a nation continues subtly.

unique properties.

"From the perspective of human development, the process of our search for food."

"It is a process of human multicultural development."

"It is also the cornerstone of our rich and colorful world today."

In the picture, an old man with white hair said with a smile.

There is an identity introduction next to him.

Food consultant: Cai Lan.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhang was surprised.

Famous foodie Cai Lan!
After watching "Bite of Tongue 2", Xiao Zhang discovered that the food consultant of "Bite of Tongue 2" is actually Cai Lan!
This made him amazed and also admired the sincerity of the film crew.

The glitz goes with the wind.

One dish, one river and lake.

In the world of gourmet rivers and lakes.

As long as there is heart, every corner.

There will be wonderful stories!

"The Kingdom of China on the Bite of the Tongue 2. Flavor World"

Final episode: Flavor Journey!

It's officially over.

It also marks the finale of "A Bite of Tongue 2"!

　There are still 270 hours until Chapter 18 is released!
