Documentaries, especially those that shoot landscapes, require unparalleled visual effects, coupled with some trivia and popular science explanations, in order to be watched by more people.
Although the audience for documentaries is not large, it cannot be compared with movies.
For example, the current ratings of international channels are only over 38%, which cannot be compared with the huge crowd when "All or Nothing" was on the movie channel.
Some people hurriedly turned on the TV when they heard it was Su Yi's new program.
But once you see it’s a documentary, you might just change the channel.
However, even people who don't like documentaries very much will acquire a lot of relatively unpopular knowledge, which they find very interesting. With Su Yi's fame, he can attract many people to like documentaries.
In their own words, I don’t like documentaries, but I like Su Yi’s works.
Although the previous "Hexi Corridor" was also very classic in its previous life and attracted many people to watch, it cannot be compared with Su Yi's re-shoot.
Because he invited star actors, even though they were just clips, they were enough to keep the audience hooked.
This documentary about the archipelago has no plot and looks very casual, but the vision is very novel.
"The islands are biologically diverse, and thousands of years ago, people from the Dragon Kingdom lived here..."
Regarding political matters, I only passed by them briefly.
After all, we have to contend with some BBC documentaries, so there must be less political elements.
This is the double standard of some foreign awards. If it promotes peace in a certain "terrorist country", then they will definitely applaud it, but if their waist is stabbed, they will definitely be banned directly.
"These sea catfish are very different from freshwater catfish. They also have hard spines on their bodies that can easily pierce human skin."
Once the camera reaches the bottom of the sea, everything becomes dreamy.
Moreover, some fish in the sea are very wary of humans, and it is impossible for you to take pictures of them, so you need a telephoto lens to capture them, but the telephoto lens is not good at detail.
The details captured by the BBC and other organizations were not very good either.
But this time Su Yi made all the audience feel amazing, and the details were almost full marks!
Especially the lines on the body of sea catfish are clearly visible.
If this was after 2019, you might not think it was a big deal, because at that time various technologies had made breakthroughs, and shooting technology and digital signals had made great progress.
But this was in 2015, and even a BBC documentary couldn't do it.
Previous domestic documentaries that filmed the ocean were blurred to a certain extent. Some netizens joked that the TV station in Longguo converted the original 4K resolution film into a 270P resolution, and then enlarged the footage to 1080P!
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable.
With Su Yi's intervention, almost the original film was presented, and many servers were added for transmission.

BBC Documentary Unit.
"God, is it possible that the cameras of the people of the Dragon Kingdom have surpassed ours now?"
The supervisor murmured.
If it were other Long Guo's works, he would not bother to read them.
He is not interested even in Su Yi's movies because he is in charge of the documentary channel.
And the BBC has always been proud of documentaries and some adventure and exploration records.
In their eyes, the documentary about the Dragon Kingdom was just in its infancy. When Dragon Kingdom on the Bite of the Tongue was released, he just thought it was pretty good, but it was just that the Dragon Kingdom had a vast territory, rich resources, and a long history. The filming techniques were a little fresh, but compared to them There is still a certain distance to the level.
And this time it was broadcast on an international channel, they were also very concerned about it.
Because after all, this is the director with the highest box office in the world.
Don't look at it. After the release of Su Yi's previous movies, Hollywood seemed to have no reaction.
But in fact, they were shocked internally, and even expressed disbelief.
Especially the success of Wolf Warriors made them feel that the market is changing rapidly, and some of the things they were good at in the past may have been caught up!
This panicked the investors behind them.
In fact, the world now seems to have different cultures and coexist together. However, because of the rapid development of modern history, the West and North America have attached great importance to the power of propaganda from the beginning, and have used movies and TV series to promote it all over the world. Soon, Many countries have recognized their culture and believe that living in their country is the happiest.
Moreover, these movies are also very cunning under the operation of capital. Many people pretend to be their own people and post on the Internet, using the strengths of the Western system to compare the shortcomings of other systems.
For example, most of the houses in Longguo have 70-year property rights, while many overseas properties have lifetime property rights and will even be passed on to the next generation. This makes them a target of attack.
But what many people don’t know is that in some so-called developed countries, they have to pay taxes almost every year, and they are still heavily taxed!
Moreover, the consequences of not paying taxes are very serious, and the bank will even cooperate with law enforcement officers to come to collect the house!
However, those who post attacks do not know how to popularize science. They only know how to create conflicts and create the illusion that everything is fine abroad.
Faced with such cultural shock and ulterior motives, one can even deceive several generations.
Not to mention that North America and the West are good at these, even the little devils that developed later will also have such publicity, such as the so-called "magic car" Toyota.
A car is passed down to three generations, and people die and the car remains. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Where there is a road, there must be a Toyota car, etc.
For older people, these slogans are familiar and even passed down by word of mouth.
In fact, Toyota cars did lead the times in a certain era, especially when domestically produced cars did not rise, and they have always been the sales leader worldwide.
But looking at the countries and shares of sales, we can find many problems.
Almost all of it is propaganda!
And when promoting, they always avoid the important and ignore the trivial.
This is all a propaganda war!
In movies, a car advertisement is sometimes even expensive.
As for this method of cultural invasion and propaganda, they have become very skilled at it.
At this time, Su Yi's name suddenly appeared, and he even became the world's number one box office director twice!
This has shocked many Western and North American industries.
Because no matter what the subject matter or novel ideas are, they don't care.
What they care more about is results!
If it makes money, it’s a good movie!
The film industry that has always been a monopoly has been occupied by a man from the Dragon Kingdom!
However, the first time it can be said that the theme was loved by the whole world, but the second Wolf Warrior movie still had some patriotic elements, but it still exceeded the box office of other North American movies.
Now Hollywood has been accumulating strength, and there have even been cases where several film companies have jointly invested in a major production.
Disney is the leader, a large company with countless IPs that is eager to try.
Although the BBC is not a film company, it will never allow it to be surpassed in documentaries.
It doesn’t matter if it’s popular locally. After all, each country’s culture is different, but a documentary of this level cannot be surpassed! They originally wanted to watch the jokes, but they didn't pay much attention to the previous scenes and commentary, because they were all performed at a normal level. If Su Yi didn't have this ability, then he wouldn't be called the world's number one director.
But it wasn't until the underwater filming that the supervisor was shocked.
There is absolutely no such effect when shooting with a telephoto, and it is not a post-production repair, because the expressions and movements are very natural, and it looks like they were shot directly.
How on earth was this filmed?
The supervisor was confused.
Because the equipment in their hands is very advanced, it is impossible for Su Yi to use something better than them.
Su Yi only has a good relationship with Warner, and he is not a well-connected Chinese director, so only Warner can help him.
However, this is just the beginning of the documentary, starting with sea catfish, then moving on to dolphins, baby sperm whales, baby killer whales and so on.
"If the supervisor wants to shoot like this, he can only hide at a fixed point and cannot block the lens, but this is full of uncertainty, because the fish will not be controlled by people!"
The supervisor patted his head.
"It's a fixed-point shooting! But are they so patient? This is the bottom of the sea!"
The supervisor sighed, still a little unbelievable. This fixed-point shooting is a bit difficult even for animals on land, unless it is some birds.
Many fish live in the ocean without a permanent home, and there are many uncertain dangers under the ocean.
So you have to wait in one place for the fish to come and take pictures?
This level of time and patience is even a bit unbelievable!
Because of the investigation by the supervisor, the two episodes of the documentary were only filmed over a few months.
During this time, Su Yi, the director, was even filming another movie!
How can you shoot a good documentary with such a disrespectful attitude?
At that time they were very disdainful.
Now after seeing this astonishing scene, I realize that Su Yi is not doing it casually!
"The director is not here. Did you notice who the photographer and executive director were just now?"
The supervisor said a little frustrated.
Regardless of the subsequent plot, the scenery and images of the first episode are enough to prove that this is an excellent documentary.
He is also the director of documentaries at the BBC, so he naturally understands the filming.
"It's a man from the Dragon Kingdom named Wang Xiaoling. He is the chief photographer. The few people from Warner Bros. are only responsible for the technology of the high-definition camera."
It’s not someone from Warner who mainly shoots!
After hearing this, the supervisor was completely stunned.

Wang Fulin's family.
Wang Fulin wore glasses and watched the TV carefully. The TV at home was also the latest model.
In fact, he is not young anymore. He is said to be Su Yi's teacher and he is old enough to be a grandfather. Although he is very young, his attention to the program has not diminished.
After Wang Xiaoling's ban was completely abolished, he used Su Yi's script, took Ning Caishen's job, and filmed "Wulin Gaiden", which became famous in one fell swoop.
However, after Wang Xiaoling finished filming this sitcom, he did not continue filming TV series. Instead, he went quiet for a while.
Wang Xiaoling also lived a very comfortable life during this period, and even slapped Yingda in the face at a party.
Although Yingtao has filmed many sitcoms, there is no way to compare with the current Wang Xiaoling.
Although Wang Xiaoling was very proud, he did not continue. Instead, he took many award-winning photos and short videos.
When he was about to retire, ‘Lao Wang’ finally lived the way he wanted.
And this documentary is also Wang Xiaoling's peak.
"I heard that you went into the sea during this filming?"
Wang Fulin nodded while looking, and then looked at Wang Xiaoling.
"There is no way. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy. One shot often takes many days to shoot, and we can't afford to delay it. Those foreigners don't work overtime at all. They have to eat and drink when the time comes."
Wang Xiaoling was a little helpless and wanted to smoke out of habit, but she still held it back.
"If you want to be happy, don't hold it in"
Wang Fulin saw what was on his son's mind.
Although this is a documentary directed by Su Yi in name, it is also because this documentary can be seen by more people.
Once this documentary came out, Wang Xiaoling's reputation became even greater.
Wang Fulin also knew that his son was foolish, loyal, and stubborn when he was young. He even felt that he deserved to be banned.
Because people don't appreciate it, they occasionally mock me.
Wang Fulin is an open-minded person. He has never complained about Yingda in these years. He only feels that his education has failed.
But he also knew that his son was just trying to achieve success in photography, and that was why the short film was banned
After saying this, he couldn't help but smile.
What father doesn't hope that his son will become a dragon?
From the moment Wang Xiaoling was banned, Wang Fulin was not helpless at all, but even knowing his son's character and knowing that there was no way to break the situation, the relationship between father and son reached a freezing point.
If Wang Xiaoling hadn't wanted to help Su Yi get rid of the so-called 'blockade' in Beijing, he probably wouldn't have had such an opportunity now.
When Wang Xiaoling heard her father say this, even though she was over fifty, her eyes still turned red.
People of that era may not be so obsessed with money, but they are really stubborn about what they want to do.
If you were to change it to something more artistic, that would be a dream!
Show your abilities on the international stage!
Wang Xiaoling tried his best. He was sea-sick at first. After vomiting several times, he still insisted on wearing a diving suit.
In less than half a month, I suddenly adapted to the pressure and fear in the sea.
"Thank you to Su Yi. This young man understood this truth decades earlier than you."
Wang Fulin sighed.
Wang Xiaoling also had a picture of Su Yi working for the first time in his mind.
That smoking cessation advertisement, smoked lung slices!
It was taken directly from the medical school where I went, and there are several different types of lungs, some of which are 'fresh', and they are available in various time periods anyway.
Su Yi was a newly graduated student at that time.
I don’t know what kind of courage it takes to get a shot that may even be coded.
No wonder it has achieved such success!
Wang Xiaoling looked at the documentary on the screen and felt admiration in his heart. (End of chapter)
