What are the best documentaries in China?

Looking for Archie won the national prize again.

In the film, four young people have been pursuing their musical dreams, growing up all the way, and completing the experience of changing from migrant workers to singers, which is not only touching, but also the best interpretation of Shenzhen, the "dream-chasing capital". They came to the city from the mountains and stuck to their dreams in a humble life, which is the concentrated expression of "facing life with a sunny attitude, creating life with hard work and integrating into society with gratitude".

This kind of story is true and touching, which not only has great appeal to lead and inspire builders to live actively and healthily, but also deeply touched the judges of this evaluation.

At the documentary creation forum held after the award presentation, "Looking for A Zhi" became a "high-frequency word" constantly appearing in the speakers' mouths. Judge Jason mentioned the film six times in an hour's speech, and spent nearly 20 minutes telling documentary colleagues from all over the country about the innovation and achievements of Finding A Zhi in artistic creation. In his opinion, "Looking for A Zhi" introduced film expression in photography and editing, with beautiful pictures and moving melody, which was in sharp contrast with other domestic documentaries with realistic themes and achieved a new breakthrough in narrative aesthetics.

Jason, from CCTV, used to be the producer of news investigation and the minister of news comment department. He has long been concerned about the current social life in China, and thinks that truth and reality are the strength of documentary. He said, "Looking for A Zhi" can aim at ordinary people in reality, record the troubles of life, love, struggle and growth of young people in contemporary China with fluent audio-visual language, and show the themes of youth inspiration and life struggle in ordinary stories with skillful skills. It is "the best documentary made by China people this year!"

Bao 'an Radio and Television promotes "a strong cultural area" with fine products.

Documentary is the most demanding, difficult, authentic, touching and expressive form of all kinds of TV programs, and it is called the "crown" in the field of TV production. The reporter learned in the interview that this award is the second time that Baoan Radio and Television Center has won this "jewel in the crown". Previously, the documentary "Boarding Women Workers in China" had aroused great social repercussions, won the first prize of the fifth "Recording China" national documentary selection and the "Top Ten Documentary Short Films of the Year" of China Documentary Festival, and was shown in major domestic film festivals. Recently, China International Television Corporation also took the initiative to contact Bao 'an Radio and Television Center to purchase the film, and plans to broadcast it to the world through the foreign language channel of CCTV.

The relevant person in charge of Baoan Radio and Television Center told the reporter: As a district-level TV station, winning national awards in this field is the result of the center's implementation of the boutique strategy for many years.

Brief introduction of film

Masha, Munai, Lao Wu and A Xiang are four young people from remote mountainous areas, from Yi, Li and Han nationalities respectively. In Shenzhen, a metropolis with a population of more than 10 million, they are doing the most common and ordinary jobs such as salespeople, porters at garbage stations and dishwashers in restaurants. The four of them have the same hobby: singing.

In order to pursue their dreams and change their destiny, these four young people who have never studied music decided to form a group and take part in the most authoritative pop music competition in China.

In the rounds of competition and preparation, there are frequent bumps and accidents, and the mentality of the four people has also undergone subtle changes. The film crew traveled to Shenzhen, Dongguan, Shanwei, Liangshan, Sichuan and other places for half a year, tracking their participation and life, and recording their mental journey of struggling between dreams and survival, choosing between love and career, and wandering between rural areas and cities. They struggled and grew up with the pursuit of their dreams, and finally stood out among the 200,000 contestants, winning the Golden Bell Award for Best Music Performance and the third place in the China Combination category.
