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

Chapter 331 Encounter on the plateau!

"The third pole, filming it requires more than courage and enthusiasm. From the first day the film crew entered the Tibetan plateau, they became a member of it. Everyone living here can experience the meaning of existence together. "

"Our documentary tells about the relationship between man, nature and the environment on the plateau. But during the filming process, we constantly encounter surprises gifted by nature."

The narration of this episode is similar to the finale of "A Bite of the Tongue 2. Flavors of the World".

They all shift the perspective of the lens from the content to the photographer.

Accompanied by the sobbing flute, a sense of desolation came over his face all of a sudden.

People can't help but be curious about the "surprise of gift" mentioned by the narration.

Xiao Tao narrowed his eyes.

Does the documentary record the process of making a documentary?
Why is it different from what I heard from the sisters in the fan group.

If meeting is the theme of the film crew of "The Third Pole".

Then from the time they first entered the plateau, they had no way of meeting each other.

The work of recording black-necked cranes is the most important work in the early stage of shooting.

The film crew conducted a lot of research and finally determined that in northern Tibet, black-necked cranes would gather here to lay a large number of eggs.

"Just like a prank, we went to many places at that time, but in the end we couldn't see a single black-necked crane."

Hu Tong, the diversity director before the shady scene, smiled wryly at the camera.

On the vast flat land, the film crew, led by a guide, held a telescope to watch a group of birds not far away.

"is it?"

"No, the tail looks a bit similar, but they are all bar-headed geese."

If you want to make a breakthrough, you must seek help from local herdsmen.

On the plateau, it is easy to see groups of black-necked cranes gathering together, but during the spawning period, they will hide.

After many days of cooperation between the forestry department and local herdsmen, a black-necked crane was finally found in a lake.

The staff hurried to the lake to set up the machine, and at the same time prepared a cover to disguise it as a stone.

It is said that the film crew and others are shrouded in it.

So that the black-necked cranes can relax their vigilance.

"Black-necked cranes are very vigilant animals. As long as you show your head, even from a long distance, they will sound the alarm, so the method we adopted is to use a concealment tent."

The director of photography gently explained the team's shooting methods.

Although they found it, the relatively monotonous activities of the black-necked cranes made the film crew fall into a long wait again.

At night, the film crew is still waiting here.

While the camera crew was waiting here for the activities of the black-necked cranes.

Another group of film crews has gone to another location.

The most important aspect of the third pole is high altitude.

The altitude of Dui Village is more than 5000 meters.

The purpose of choosing here is to explore the limit of human existence.

The environment here tests the survival wisdom of the local people and the preparation of the film crew.

"A large part of the shooting in Cuomoyongcuo violated our initial procedures for entering the plateau. This is something we can't help, because we can't be sure which day it is when we drive sheep across the ice."

Wang Tian said facing the camera in the cold wind.

As winter comes, the lake completely freezes over.

The film crew also saw the long-awaited spectacle of driving sheep across the lake.

But after several days of high-intensity work on the island, the film crew's physical condition has problems.

Silence replaced the excitement of the first arrival.

The main difficulty in shooting in Tibet is altitude.

"The altitude of 5000 meters is actually not suitable for human habitation. In winter, its oxygen content is equivalent to 60.00% of sea level. Walking on the ice is equivalent to carrying a bag of [-] kilograms of rice."

Wang Tian recalled this time with a smile on his face.

Sixty kilograms of rice?
Xiao Tao was a little surprised.

She herself weighs only forty kilograms at the moment.

Isn't this equivalent to carrying someone heavier than yourself all day?
When Xiao Tao thought about the props he carried only a few kilograms when he was supporting his brothers at that time, his arms were sore.

Thinking of [-] kilograms of rice, Xiao Tao couldn't think of anything.

People in Dui Village use the ice to let their pregnant sheep venture several kilometers to enjoy the abundant pasture on the island.

In order to present such a scene more three-dimensionally, the film crew used under-ice shooting.

Sawing through the thick ice, the film crew ventured into the lake to film.

Shooting in such a winter, Xiao Tao couldn't help shivering just looking at it.

In fact, many equipment that can normally shoot normally have problems facing such high altitudes.

The plateau environment is complex and changeable, and aerial photography is not successful every time.

The aerial photography in Cuomo Moyongcuo ended in failure.

The difficulties brought by the high poster are far from enough to summarize the hardships of shooting.

Although the altitude has dropped in the gullies of the Himalayas, the vegetation has also become richer.

But the danger is still unavoidable, because the living environment in different places is also very different.

People who live here climb dangerous cliffs to gather honey.

For Sherpas, climbing cliffs may seem like a commonplace thing.

But having a camera crew shoot such a shoot is fraught with danger.

The crew specially invited professional rock climbers from Guangqi to serve as rock wall photographers.

"Before you go down, take a picture of the reaction of the bee colony, but you must pay attention to your own safety."

The director of photography is telling the invited photographers.

The efforts made by the film crew are only to be able to face the test at the same height as the Sherpas.

It's not like Xiaotao hasn't seen related videos on the Internet about picking honey.

In his opinion, wearing full-body protective clothing does not seem to be particularly difficult.

But when Xiao Tao saw the huge figure of the Himalayan bee that occasionally flashed in front of the camera, he was still taken aback.

For such a big bee, it’s okay to be stung once?

Unknowingly, Xiao Tao was also brought into this shooting situation.

The crew was divided into four groups, and the climbing group was responsible for photographing the bee collectors.

A photographer photographs Sherpas in the jungle.

Another photographer uses a telephoto lens to capture the panorama.

The aerial photography team is responsible for photographing the relationship between people and the environment.

In order to take a complete picture of the hive, the rock photographer needs to go down first, but his actions have aroused the suspicion of the bees.

The bees had already started attacking him.

The large-scale attack of bees forced the film crew to put on various protective measures in a hurry.

To pick the hive, the Sherpas first smoke the bees away.

After several failures, the torch was finally lit.

But at this time the film crew faced new problems.

That is to watch with his own eyes that the drone, which had finally successfully activated the control, crashed into the river.

The film crew fell silent for a while.

With the gradual deepening of the shooting, the difficulty brought by the environment is also increasing.

Leaving Medog, Huaguo's last county town with road access enters a more remote mountain.

The vehicles are no longer usable, and we can only rely on mules and horses.

The mules and horses carried the equipment, and the film crew followed the mules and horses, wearing rain boots and walking on the hillside.

The shooting point is located on a steep cliff beside the Yarlung Zangbo River.

The making process of making Motuo stone pot is here.

The torrential rain never stopped, and the road conditions on the way back after filming were much worse than when we entered.

Landslides can be seen everywhere.

One of the crew's cars almost overturned, but fortunately the driver braked in time so that it didn't cause a catastrophe in time.

The white off-road vehicle went to Medog.

On the way back, the car body was covered in mud from top to bottom, and the original color could not be seen at all.

Was the filming process so difficult?
Xiao Tao was a little surprised, living in a city where you can choose whether to take the subway or take a taxi when you go out.

If you want to eat, you can choose to cook yourself or order takeaway.

Xiao Tao couldn't believe how bad the local environment was.

Perhaps, as the book says, move forward with a heavy load.

The beauty stays in front of the camera, and the evil is borne by itself.

A series of mountains outlines the outline of the third pole.

People continue their lives here for generations.

Although the shooting is hard, it is also very colorful and wonderful.

"During the filming of "The Third Pole", we also encountered a lot of exciting things. Looking back now, we only remember the beauty we saw during filming."

Looking back, Hutong still had a smile on his face.

Interlaced transformation of scenes such as mountains, grasslands, rivers, and forests.

The constant transition between the city and the Gobi Desert.

Let people feel the majesty and tolerance of the third pole.

"All of our shooting time added up, should be a quarter of the time spent in the car, driving a car to travel a long distance, but fortunately, the scenery on the road is unique."

The sound of the alley appeared in front of the camera along with the scenery that did not appear in the feature film.

Under the golden fire cloud is a vast plain.

The fluffy flock of sheep walking turned into clouds instead.

Under such a scenery, the pachinko road is like a telescope for city people to come to this heavenly scenery.

The convenient highway greatly reduces the transition time.

The current road can go almost anywhere you want to go.

Looking at the picture in front of the screen, Xiao Tao couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

The magic of nature lies in how ordinary you feel about anything.

It can still surprise you in places you can't imagine.

Xiao Tao never thought that he could be attracted by anything other than the beauty of his brothers.

horse.

The protagonist of the horse racing festival, but the herdsmen all drive to participate in the horse racing festival.

During the filming, I met a Tibetan doctor who was troubled by a little problem with his ipad.

The film crew came to the studio, which is said to be a thousand-year-old cave.

There is a full range of electronic products here, and he uses the Internet to research his medicinal materials.

"I think this scene is very interesting, it is such a place isolated from the world, but in fact, modern life and modern civilization are completely integrated into it."

The voices in the alley became the narration.

While accepting modern life, people also pay more attention to the protection of traditional culture.

Dorje is one of the inheritors of the intangible cultural heritage of Tibetan papermaking skills.

The biggest difference between Tibetan paper and ordinary paper is that a slightly toxic herbal medicine is added to it.

That is wolf poison grass.

But in modern society, with the increase of living cost and the change of natural environment.

Only manual excavation of chamaema chamaejasma cannot meet the requirements of making Tibetan paper.

With the help of modern machinery, Dorje has cleared a large piece of land to grow chamaejasma.

In order to find this inheritor of Tibetan paper, the film crew spent a lot of time.

The protection of traditional culture is the consensus of the people.

For this reason, Dorji, a rapper and singer of the Biography of King Gesar of Tibet University, entered the school to study.

In the past, most of these entertainers were illiterate.

"Two days before I met him, except for talking about King Gesar, he was exactly the same as a modern university monk in other things."

The director said with a gentle smile.

Dorji is about to graduate. He voluntarily chooses to stay in school and continue to study and study King Gesar's biography.

A lot of the changes come from the mental outlook.

As soon as the screen turned, it came to a place where the roof was being decorated in a bustling manner.

They are playing Agha.

Da Aga is a traditional Tibetan way of building roofs or grounds inside houses.

The method of beating Aga here is no different from the traditional one in Tibet.

The difference is that young people have given it a modern atmosphere.

"Aga playing is a traditional Tibetan activity that combines music and dance. Sometimes it is very interesting to watch."

Wang Tian in the film crew looked at the camera and said.

This group of young people on the construction site looked no different from young people in big cities.

It's just the sunshine on the plateau that makes them bloom more enthusiastically.

This traditional Tibetan activity is a novelty for Tao.

Xiao Tao likes brothers who love to sing and dance.

But this kind of young man with a different lifestyle from him still makes Xiao Tao feel that there is something in common.

Among the ancient temples in Tibet, Minzhu Temple also has a lot of modern vitality.

Although Minzhu Temple is ancient, the monks living here are all young people.

The young faces also added a lot of vitality to this ancient temple.

In a blink of an eye, this group of naughty and lovely students devoted themselves to the production of the mandala with an extremely devout attitude.

Under the guidance of the teacher, the Buddhist world is depicted with gravel.

Lively, simple, and rigorous are not enough to summarize the spirit of the plateau people.

Because the concept that has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people has been growing, that is, love and kindness.

After filming all the activities of the black-necked cranes, I passed by the tents of the herdsmen on the way back.

The kind grandmother warmly entertained everyone.

While the big guy was eating, a little guy appeared on the stage.

I saw a little brown wolf cub being carried in the picture.

Looking at everyone with round eyes, they are as fluffy as a small dumpling.

The cute little wolf cub has become very cute in the crowd at the moment.

Not only did everyone in the tent love it, even Xiao Tao outside the screen was full of stars.

"Wow! This little wolf cub is so cute! Are all wolves like this?"

Xiao Tao looked at it and didn't seem to notice how fast time was passing.

He completely forgot that his original purpose was to see what Xu Wen's documentary was like.

I didn't expect that I was fascinated by watching it without knowing it.

　I'm going to have supper~
