The real "sweet pet drama" turns out to be gourmet
Liu Yuhan
"I didn't expect this season's" Flavoured Humans "to be sweeter than the sweet pet drama at the beginning", "Flavoured Humans" was launched in the second season, and the first episode of "Sweet Love" recorded the audience very sweet, even Sweet over sweet pet play. Why does the food documentary continue to give people such a touch and comfort? Through food, let the audience discover the meticulous life, discover the pure love, and discover the life with all kinds of flavors. This should be the deepest value of the food documentary that can impress people.
After "China on the Tongue", the food documentary has become just what the audience needs. "Life String", "Breakfast China", "Boiling Hot Pot", "Supper Night" and "Looking for Shunde" and other types of food documentaries are seduced by vision The taste buds of the "foodies" and the team led by Chen Xiaoqing who created the "tongue" miracle are undoubtedly the best of them. "Flavour World", which was operated by the team of Chen Xiaoqing, was highly praised after being broadcast in 2018. After more than a year, the second season of "Flavor World" was finally launched. This season's pictures are still extremely comfortable, and every frame makes people reluctant to fast forward. Unlike the first season, which covers ocean food, mainland food, fire and food, midnight snacks, spices and other all-inclusive, this season's "Flavours of the World" is simplified, starting from the sweet and bitter taste.
The first episode of "Sweet Love" was rated by the audience as "the boulder on the road to weight loss", and netizens joked that "the fitness coach is coming with a knife." As the narration on the show said, Sweet "delivers a safe and beautiful signal wholeheartedly." The honey-filled picture, accompanied by Li Lihong's vocal explanation and the sound of baking and cooking, is visual and auditory enjoyment for the audience, but it is a "torture" of taste. Yangzhou's early jadeite roasted wheat and thousand-layer oil cakes are also called "Yangzhou's two musts". In the film, the process of making the pastry chef and noodles into a cake is accompanied by the sound effect of the drum, like a kung fu movie. The 64-story thousand-layer oil cake was trembling with chopsticks, which made the audience shout "crabble" in the barrage. In the end, when teacher Li Lihong used the commentary to say the internet buzzwords, "It's a matter of getting dressed, and hiding merits and fame", it has a slightly naughty feeling. "Turks believe that sweet food is equivalent to a kind heart and warm words." Baklava is known as the pearl of the crown of Turkish desserts. This baklava is another scene compared to the thousand-layer oil cake in Yangzhou. . The skins like white cloth, each with a thickness not exceeding 0.1 mm, should be covered with 20 layers of skin. The audience praised "it's simply art."
The characteristics of the Chen Xiaoqing team's food documentary are not focused on delicacies, but are more willing to find the source of taste. Just like in "China on the Tip of the Tongue", they started with the cultivation of wheat, and finally patted it on buns. This time, in the "Sweet Love", the program begins with Nepalese honey hunters collecting cliff honey. The Himalayan giant bee is the largest bee in the world. The honey they produce is on a cliff hundreds of meters high. It is the most difficult honey to obtain in the world. The picture of a honey hunter stepping on a vine ladder and climbing up a cliff to collect cliff honey, is reminiscent of the scene in the "Chinese on the Tip of the Tongue" where a little boy climbs a tall tree to pick pine mushrooms. However, compared to "China on the Tongue" which focuses on the humanistic feelings, "Flavours of the World" is more focused on the food itself, and the stories on the characters are over, not too sensational and tragic. This is also in line with the characteristics of online programming, after all, most viewers are just running for food.
This time, the author's quotations were added to the show, making this gourmet documentary look more literary and artistic. For example, the show quoted the Russian writer Konchalov's words: "Man is undoubtedly the master of the earth, but he is also a slave to the stomach." For the refining and application of the Turkish writer Pamuq's words-"Only such determination and decisiveness can sweetness support the vast crowds of Istanbul." Such "upper value" allows the grand narrative of the narration to have a literary heritage, so that it does not appear to be empty and unreasonable.
There is still a lot of memory left in a 50-minute episode. For example, the Baba Banquet in the hands of a Sichuan village chef has captured the most boring wedding banquet. The fragrance of fireworks on the earth is overflowing. A "sweet white" with pork belly, brown sugar and glutinous rice also subverts everyone ’s Sichuan cuisine Spicy impression. People suddenly realized that the essence of Sichuan cuisine is actually a compound taste of sugar and other flavors, such as lychee mouth and fish flavor mouth. The old couple in Suzhou picked six to eight mature chicken head rice, and the soft glutinous Q shelled chicken head rice tells the details of daily life. The primitive marine clans on the small island of Malasia will not step on the land for almost their entire lives. They feel the temptation of sweetness through the amino acids in the sea urchin yellow. In the pig-making workshop in Hong Kong, the bosses and employees used the bitter gourd soup heated on the hearth to relieve the heat. People learned to find back sweetness in this sweet antonym, "With ingenuity and hands, you can reach the opposite side of it" The program's understanding of sweetness has reached a new level.
Chen Xiaoqing said that their program is "to know the world with food". Because of the impact of the epidemic, they added a sentence at the end of the show, "Only after experiencing the unusual, we will know that the daily life is precious." Either it's a good time or a good time, the comfort and healing that food brings to people always exceeds the food itself.
