The behind-the-scenes tidbits of hometown flavor

On July 26th, with the director announcing the end of the last scene, this first full HD documentary in Chicheng County, which was created by nine people and lasted 12 months, and hundreds of people participated, will be presented to the people of the whole country in a few days. However, behind this documentary full of luck and expectation lies a huge Chinese dream.

This is Chicheng No.1 Middle School, and the story of the documentary will begin here. Within a year, all the crew will be sent to and from this building. In this temporary conference room, a 180-minute documentary script will be produced in the lowest-key way.

In May of the following year, when the documentary was launched, eight creators from five cities in China gathered here during the short May Day holiday. Under the guidance of director Zhang Xiaodong, they made detailed arrangements for the second stage of research. In the following days, the preliminary research work of the documentary "The Wilderness" will be carried out one after another. At this time, everyone in this young documentary team is very excited and excited. In this makeshift conference room, scenes like today have been staged dozens of times last summer.

Most of the film crew are authentic children of Chicheng, living in Chicheng, and finally forming a flavor core production team in their hometown. None of them have a professional film background. Last summer, when the team was established, everyone had just finished the college entrance examination. At this time, some people are still struggling in the front line of college entrance examination, and Yan Wang, director of diversity, is preparing for the 20 15 national college entrance examination for 20 days.

Zhang Xiaodong, the general director of Hometown, will lead this young documentary team to realize their dreams.

Behind the food is a family story about survival. Life includes delicious food, but life is always so unhappy. Finding the most telling food background has always been a dilemma for the film crew. In order to find the most local delicacies, the film crew chose Black Dragon Mountain in Chicheng County as the general research area of Time Wild.

Last summer, due to work mistakes, I lost some time field research materials. No, the film crew will go again. After more than two hours' drive, the taste team from hometown came here for the second time to conduct field research. The results of today's research will be decided in a few days.

About the investigation, what I gained was not only the material of the film, but also a family and a period of sadness. Perhaps the real significance of the survey is to make everyone involved constantly struggle in sadness and joy, and more or less realize the attitude of ordinary people towards life and their understanding of happiness. Whether shooting or investigating, you will face a new family when you bid farewell to one stop and welcome a new one. These families may be rich in happiness or poor in practicality, but they all have a happy and auspicious family.

From north to south, we felt the joy brought by village after village. This is a Chinese life, and it also makes the whole team understand what is true happiness for ordinary people.

In Beijing, the capital of China, the largest regular population migration is taking place every year. In just about 40 days, more than 3 billion people will move, including more than 80,000 people in Chicheng County, Hebei Province. In order to find the most representative families in Beipiao, the hometown film crew did a lot of research work through the Internet. In order to save money, the film crew will lay off staff and go to Beijing by bus today.

In order to shoot the original shot of Spring Festival travel rush Peak as much as possible, the film crew performed the shooting task in the lowest key without any permission. In the political center of China, it will be full of challenges to shoot qualified documentary pictures with professional equipment. If there is an accident, hundreds of thousands of photographic equipment will be confiscated, which will test everyone in the film crew.

At Beijing West Railway Station, it is the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, and policemen on duty can be seen everywhere. In order to avoid accidents, the film crew had to choose a distant location and shoot through a telephoto lens.

In the end, the accident happened. When shooting the transfer picture of Beijing subway, the shooting task was stopped by the subway staff as soon as it was over, and the lens was too large, so we had no choice but to stop shooting.

In the next two days, the film crew moved to the rental house in the eastern suburb of Beijing to follow up and shoot the young couple who were going home in Chicheng. Returning to his hometown in Hebei from Beijing, his husband drove, and Yu Dejun took his children on the way home. 278 kilometers, 7 hours, from Beijing to Chicheng, it takes a whole day. This will be the taste of hometown, and the whole film has the longest shooting span.

During the one-year shooting cycle, this documentary team with an average age of only 19 years old constantly encountered various difficulties. The high temperature in summer caused everyone to suffer from heatstroke, and the flood after the rainstorm washed away the road leading to the shooting place, which led to the delay of shooting. However, no matter the rugged road or the influence of high temperature climate, the shooting task will continue, testing everyone in this young documentary team.

The film crew has been working at a low temperature of MINUS 20 degrees for five days. In Dushikou town in January, the temperature was the lowest in the whole year. However, Dushikou candied dates with the most local characteristics are being produced here in full swing. The film crew should go to the local area to shoot at the coldest time, and the cold is testing everyone involved. Today, the film crew is looking for a higher shooting position in the cold, which is a very ordinary day for everyone.

Chicheng has many ravines in the mountains, and black, white and red rivers run through the north and south. The altitude difference in the same area is great, which leads to various landforms in a small county, which also urges people to stop and produce completely different diet structures in different environments. But for the film crew, shooting the most representative regional pictures is a time-consuming and laborious work with little return. In less than seven seconds, the film crew will spend a lot of energy to collect qualified pictures.

At five o'clock in the morning, the film crew should arrive at the hero's house before the morning market is over. Today's task is to track and shoot all the scenes of digging wild vegetables until they are sold in the morning market. As soon as the sun rose in the morning, the work had already started and lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. In order to improve work efficiency, the general director temporarily decided to drive to the deepest position in the sample farm town more than 70 kilometers away and shoot in less than 7 seconds. The film crew's car drove along the cement road until it disappeared, and the car gradually bumped up. Finally, because of the unknown water potential ahead, the car gradually bumped.

The most extreme food is often hidden deep in the mountains. If we want to find him, the film crew can only spend more energy.

For the film crew, receiving an unexpected phone call means a new challenge. The protagonist selected by the film crew during their inspection in Heilong Mountain, Chicheng County called and the wild vegetables were about to disappear. Once the film crew misses this year's shooting cycle, the whole shooting progress will be delayed by one year. In order to race against time, the film crew temporarily dispatched three creative personnel and rushed back to Chicheng shooting place from three cities across the country overnight. At the same time, Zhang Xiaodong, the general director, urgently contacted the shooting assistant to arrange equipment transportation and guarantee, and started the most difficult shooting task.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, all the staff arrived, plus the driver and a group of six people, driving from the county seat overnight, a line of more than 100 kilometers, to sandaochuan township. This is a race against time. At nine o'clock in the evening, the film crew found a place to live with the help of the local government. In order to ensure the smooth shooting of the next day, the general director continued to rush to the actual shooting place overnight, and contacted the protagonist to confirm the shooting work a few hours later. At this time, trouble followed.

Because the real shooting location is still hidden deeper in the mountain, the road is extremely difficult, and the models of the film crew are limited to relatively flat roads. However, due to the long distance and various equipment, the film crew vehicles could not arrive, and time forced the general director to solve it tonight. At this time, it was already midnight 1 1, and the crew could only ask the second producer Ming Xiaodong, who was far away from the county, for help and coordinate overnight in the local area. A few hours later, the film crew will get to the shooting place before the sun comes out, which will mean that the three masters who rushed back to Chicheng overnight only slept for three hours in 48 hours. This is a test for this young documentary team.

Heilongshan National Forest Park is located in Heilongshan Forest Farm, Chicheng County, Hebei Province. Located in the tropical continental monsoon climate of East Asia, it is an original ecological forest park. The park covers an area of 7034.4 hectares and the forest coverage rate is 86.5%. Today, our story begins here.

Today, Wang Chengen is going to the uninhabited mountainous area to find the unique local wild vegetables. In order to find the shooting target, the film crew must reach an altitude of 1400 meters. The rainy days a few days ago made the already difficult road here even more difficult. Complex terrain and muddy roads have brought great obstacles to mountaineering photography. Carelessness, getting lost, cliffs and poisonous snakes will all threaten the safety of the film crew, which has to make everyone doubly embarrassed. After four hours of climbing, the film crew finally reached the wild vegetable growing area.

For the audience, they have only seen the excellent pictures on TV or computer screen and given them good or bad comments, but the audience will never feel the difficulties and sadness encountered in the filming process, nor will they feel the joy after the filming is completed. This is the work behind the scenes.

The dubbing draft of the film will be revised for the sixth time and for the last time today. After that, the amount of information in the manuscript will directly affect the development of the largest makeup work about hometown by the "Taste" film crew in a few days. The makeup work of the film crew began.

On July 26th, after the general director announced that the last shot was successfully passed, this one-year documentary, which lasted from June 65438 to June 2004, meant that the preliminary work was completely over. But this is only half the work of this documentary, and all the content filmed in the next few days will be stored in this room for intense post-production.

Behind the ultimate documentary, in addition to the efforts of the early team, greater efforts are made in the later stage. A four-episode 180-minute documentary with a total material of over 1500g and thousands of shots. It takes six hours to read an original.

Today, six diversity directors and general directors will work with professional special effects technicians to determine the special effects of the film, which will be the first meeting of post-production of the film.

After a week of boring post-production, the prototype of the documentary has taken shape, waiting for comments and suggestions from the silent supporters of the hometown flavor film crew. The film crew called all the participants for the last film suggestion revision meeting, and the producers, producers and representatives of film-related cultural departments will also come to the scene.

With the help of later technology, the most perfect picture was born. The taste production team in my hometown, with an average age of only 19 years old, finally completed this documentary about Chicheng people with the attention of all walks of life after a year of shooting. This documentary produced by a non-professional team, after a year of tempering, has practiced their love for their hometown and film and television, and also achieved their dreams. This is a year of tempering and a year of harvesting dreams.

Through the retrospective exploration of hometown food culture, this young documentary team learned to feel the world with heart, not only staying in this documentary, but also growing, understanding and experiencing.

This is the taste of hometown and the story behind it.
