One, the program takes a very broad vision, standing at the height of the global, all mankind, to look at the great beauty of Qinghai, so that the beauty of Qinghai crosses the limitations of the region, the era, but in a larger cultural coordinates to find their own position
Great beauty of Qinghai, the scenery is infinite. To introduce Qinghai, different people will have different points of view. With different eyes, the direction and style of the whole movie will be different. The difference between The Great Beauty of Qinghai lies in the fact that the five attractions chosen for the movie, namely, Qinghai Lake, the source of the Three Rivers, the Tal Temple, the Kunlun Mountains, and the Qaidam, are both typical and representative, and also have global value.
For example, Qinghai Lake is embedded in the Tibetan Plateau's largest inland lake, it is the world's largest bird migration, Huangshui breeding growth, but also the evolution of human civilization is very important to an arena, the ecological value of the whole human and birds, fish are closely related. Thus, the film in the introduction of the Qinghai Lake bypassed the specific description of its geographic location of the Qinghai Lake. The first line of the opening narration gives us a very grandiose vision: "In March, when the northern hemisphere of our planet begins to enter its beautiful season, the Tibetan plateau remains all white and silent."
It is with such a vision and foothold that the film, in its specific narrative, always adheres to a kind of human sentiment, historical sentiment, and integrates all this into every shot and every sentence of narration, so that we can feel the great beauty beyond the picture through the picture. The most unforgettable thing is that when introducing the Kunlun Mountains, the movie introduced us not only to the myth of Kunlun, which has had a great influence on the whole human race, but also to the Kunlun Jade, which is used to make the trophies of the Olympic Games. Myth and reality are intertwined, the East and the West compared to the tip of the iceberg of human culture after thousands of years of change is still so coupled, Huangshui city network which allows us to read the Kunlun Mountains. When it comes to the relationship between the Kunlun Mountains and Qaidam, a sentence lets us "think about a thousand years": "Legend has it that the Kunlun Mountains are the capital of the Yellow Emperor on the ground, the Queen Mother of the West is the immortal master of the Kunlun Mountains, and the Kunlun Mountains under the Qaidam Basin is the Queen Mother of the West's feet in the treasure bowl."
In the seemingly random shots and narratives, the film, while playing on the unique personality of the television media, also absorbed the techniques of other artistic disciplines, such as poetry, but also integrated into the anthropology, ecology, and other advanced academic concepts, which makes the entire film not only stand up to scrutiny, but also chewing, with a certain cultural weight and wider value of inheritance.
Second, the program presents the unique natural beauty of the mountains and rivers of Qinghai, while at the same time, make great efforts to explore the human resources, mountains and rivers and humanities, which makes the beauty of Qinghai distinctive charm, but also appears to be relatively heavy
Qinghai is the motherland's source of the Three Rivers, the uniqueness of which lies not only in the mountains and rivers, but also in the humanities. However, really pick up the camera to show all this, most of the TV people's dilemma is either lose sight of the other, or an average list, often destroying the integrity of the film and harmony, no artistry to speak of. In my impression, the pattern of this kind of propaganda film is almost a thousand piles: first, the geographical location is introduced, then the best scenery is piled up and various achievements are displayed, and finally how many shots of leaders at all levels. The Great Beauty of Qinghai" avoids this formula. It is from the beginning, the camera directly to the mountains and rivers of humanities the most essential picture, to the humanities of the eyes of the mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers as a background, explore the humanities of the heritage, which makes the whole mountains and rivers become more dynamic, but also make a side of the humanities appear to be more rooted. I often think that, if there is no humanistic nourishment and connotation, Qinghai's mountains and rivers is more extensive, is still too thin. Conversely, Qinghai's humanities resources and then rich, if there is no accompaniment of mountains and rivers, the same will lose the thickness and great beauty. Imagine: the face of the snow-covered Anima Qing snow mountain, if there is no Tibetan people in the heart of the faith, how many people will still be for the waist, Xining Portal sigh of admiration?
In the process of watching the movie, I kept asking myself: if I were to shoot this theme, from what angle will I cut? How to express it? A series of questions made me admire the power of material selection and expression after watching the movie. In the performance of the "source of the three rivers", the writer and director did not show one by one the actual scene, but with a set of generalized shots led to the source of the three rivers. This exempts how many roughly similar shots, typical environment refining let me for a surprise, Xining People's Forum a happy. This episode of the film, the next selection of the Zaling Lake, the snowy mountains, the Tibetan antelope, wormwood and other groups of footage seemingly random, is very typical, including the selection of characters, the choice of simultaneous sound are very attentive. Once upon a time, the majority of television workers ignore or disregard, misinterpretation of the "typical", which makes a lot of films, although it looks very beautiful, also made up a long time, but once seen, it will not leave any deep impression.
Something to do, something not to do. This, not only is a human attitude, but also an artistic principle. Let the scenery of the TV film in the limited time contains more heavy content, this aspect of the "Great Beauty of Qinghai" has pointed out a creative direction for us.
Three, the program narration is simple, restrained, and avoid sensationalism, shallow, in turn, make the whole film has a stronger affinity
"The record has been confused, the language is light in the word minister. If the word on the heart, I am afraid there is no limit to the aggrieved person" (Jingxiu Anthology, Volume XI, "Reading History Review"). When it comes to the language of TV movie narration, I often scrutinize it with such a standard, treat it, and thus, I am always more tolerant. However, under the premise of tolerance, I am also always wary of this kind of television language: extreme sensationalism, all the beautiful words. Originally, this is a common trick used by some street vendors without capital and credibility: they don't pay taxes if they are wrong anyway. And the wise man is not for it. But strangely enough, these years of tourism publicity text to move flowers, regardless of the lightness of the flooding up such a style, resulting in some of our television films are to light "original flavor" into the screen. This is a dangerous signal, and can only be counterproductive to propaganda. However, fortunately, the narration of "The Great Beauty of Qinghai" did not fall into this swamp.
The narration of The Great Beauty of Qinghai is plain and natural from start to finish, and it is as comfortable to listen to as it is to speak. Plainness is the ultimate in language, especially for TV narration, which is a principle and a height. Let the profound truth is simple, so that the gesture of speech intimate and touching, all of which need to be down-to-earth. Plain language, most of the television media to win the magic weapon, but also to bring the audience closer to the invariable magic weapon. It is by such plainness that the commentary of "Great Beauty of Qinghai" has been collected by many viewers as soon as it was published in "Qinghai Daily" and other media. Through the charm of the text, they are still immersed in the great beauty of Qinghai, long recalled the plot of the film and every touching shot.
