At 8pm, after the game advertisement of Dianxing Technology was broadcast in the opening, "Survival" started on time. In order to attract young audiences, this documentary was broadcast on both TV and the Internet, and online and offline simultaneously.
The first thing that appears in the picture is the vast and endless green.
The camera slowly passed over the top, revealing the magnificent scenery of the tropical rainforest. Towering trees formed a forest of trees, strangled plants were hiding murderous intentions, and a giant python on the treetop stretched its tongue towards the drone...
The ultra-high-definition images stunned the audience.
[What is the image quality? ? ]
[I got really scared when that giant snake pounced on me. With the high resolution, I could even see clearly how many scales had fallen off its head.]
[It’s so beautiful, blue sky, white clouds and green trees]
[Just looking at it makes me feel like my lungs, which have been ravaged by smog, have been baptized]
[The aerial footage is so professional! The pilot is amazing]
[Every frame is breathtakingly beautiful, how high is the resolution]
Gong Sheng held his bowl and watched netizens discussing online, and couldn't help laughing.
Thanks to Xu Siyi, otherwise the picture quality would not be like this.
You have to know that even if it is a variety show channel with sufficient production funds, the pictures will still follow conventional standards.
The original filming equipment of the "Survival" program team was old, and some were even discarded from other stations. Gong Sheng originally thought that it was enough to use it and work hard to shoot good content. Who knew that Xu Siyi sponsored a set of top-notch equipment, which directly made the filming equipment of the "Survival" program team leap to the top level.
In addition, we invited photographers Daniel and Matt, who have won international documentary awards, and a professional pilot to provide sufficient help to the team.
The domestic documentary market is sluggish. Before "Survival", Gong Sheng had never heard of anyone using such a large hand.
This time, the filming of "Survival" has achieved 4K quality. Advanced equipment is equipped with ultra-high-definition image sensors, which can restore colors accurately and naturally, and the picture quality is delicate and clean to an astonishing degree.
Take resolution for example, this level can provide more than 8.8 million pixels, which is completely movie-level quality! It is more than four times the current top 1080p resolution, and even the hair on a person's face can be seen clearly.
The data volume of each frame reaches 50 megabytes, and each frame can be captured and used as a poster.
Even if "Survival" is moved to the IMAX big screen, Gong Sheng is not afraid at all.
As the broadcast continued, Xu Qiao appeared on camera.
Inside the helicopter, he had a brief conversation with Daniel and Matt about the filming after entering the rainforest, his expression focused.
[Surprised, good speaking]
[Online listening practice]
[As an ABC, I want to say that Xu Qiao's pronunciation is really standard]
[I am jealous why some people are good-looking but good at English]
[Oh my god, why did my brother carry a parachute?]
The next moment, Xu Qiao jumped out of the cabin without hesitation.
The sound of whistling wind was heard, and the audience who saw this scene all held their breath. The filming made people feel as if they were in the scene, and their heartbeats couldn't help but accelerate.
…
"How's the feedback from 'Survival'?" Ji Jiang stayed at the station to monitor the data of his variety show "Cohabitation Journey". Seeing that the performance in all aspects was pretty good, a satisfied look appeared on his face. He looked up and asked his assistant during the commercial break.
The assistant did a search and saw that the real-time Weibo and major website forums had good reviews for "Survival".
“Director, the reviews are all good. I wonder how it performs in terms of playback volume and ratings.” The assistant clicked into the video platform again and was somewhat surprised to see the rapid growth rate of the comment section for the first episode.
The number of comments on the screen is also increasing at an alarming rate.
Hearing this, Ji Jiang smiled and said, "How bad can the reputation of documentaries be? As long as the filming is acceptable, it will definitely receive mostly positive reviews."
The assistant hesitated and said, "Judging from the comments and comments, the number of views should be quite high."
Due to a certain delay, we cannot see the exact number of playback clicks at the first time, but judging from the growth trend of comments and barrage, it will not be too bad.
Ji Jiang didn't care much about it. When the advertisement ended, he changed his posture and continued to monitor the data of "Cohabitation Journey".
Isn't it normal that there are a lot of comments and comments? Xu Qiao is a popular star after all, so fans should come to support their brother? But these are only temporary, and the final performance of the program still depends on the content itself.
You have bad content, and you expect to rely on fans to support you? That's a nice thought.
A documentary is just a documentary. How can its ratings compare to those of a variety show with a fast pace and many interesting jokes? Once the limited fans discover the boringness of the documentary, the ratings will only decline.
On the other hand, posts related to "Survival" popped up one after another on major social platforms and forum sections.
"Documentary channel! Watch it now if you want to survive, or you'll regret it!!"
“I’m not interested in documentaries.”
"Hey, go check it out, really, you'll be interested after you see it!"
"Brother Meng, the documentary channel "Survival" is a visual feast. You must watch it on the largest and clearest TV at home. Documentary lovers should definitely not miss it."
"real or fake?"
"I went to take a look, the picture quality is absolutely great!"
The two-hour documentary was not even halfway through when some people mobilized their family and friends to watch it in front of the TV or on their mobile phones.
…
On the screen, Xu Qiao was walking in the rainforest, introducing knowledge about survival in the wild, demonstrating how to tell whether wild fruits were edible, building a shelter, and going out to look for tinder until gunshots were heard.
The audience was stunned when they heard the gunshots. They thought it was just a wilderness survival story, but who knew there would be so many additional developments. It made people nervous and excited at the same time.
As Xu Qiao and Daniel approached, under the cover of the trees, the camera revealed a scene of poachers attacking a lone young elephant.
[I'm going to poach]
[This inhuman guy attacked the baby elephant. Kill him]
Xu Qiao hid his body in the bushes, approached the poacher and attacked quickly, dodging the bullets and subdued the man neatly in a few breaths.
The photographer's camera recorded the scene completely, it was so thrilling that it felt like an action movie.
[… ]
[Is that a gun? Is that a gun? ? ]
[Shocked my whole family]
[Who called him a sissy before? He held the man down with bullets in his hands, so manly, I am a fan of this guy]
[I was shocked by the movement... How did he do that? He didn’t even hit the target from such a close distance]
[To be honest, if the poacher plot hadn’t been reported on the news that day, I would have really thought it was deliberately arranged by the production team]
Someone in the comment section attached a link to a news video that was broadcast on the local news channel that evening.
It can be seen from the video that the little Asian elephant that was rescued is the one saved by Xu Qiao.
"… With the help of Mr. Xu and other enthusiastic citizens, the local police successfully controlled the poachers. Currently, the young Asian elephant's vital signs are good." The dignified news anchor in the video said with a smile.
Netizens: “???”
[It turns out that this enthusiastic citizen, Mr. Xu, is my brother]
[I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just give you a thumbs up]
This clip was quickly cut out and posted on Weibo, where it was forwarded by several big Vs and attracted a large number of new viewers.
Two hours passed in a flash, and when the first episode ended, the game promotion advertisement of Dianxing Technology appeared again at the end of the film.
The audience said they were still not satisfied.
[It’s gone, how come it’s gone? ? ]
[I actually sat in front of the screen for two hours and watched it with my full attention…]
[I still haven’t reacted after the video ended, I can’t get enough of it!!!]
[I didn’t expect documentaries to be so interesting. I have to go to the bathroom first. I sat in front of the screen the whole time. I didn’t even pay attention during class.]
[Can’t wait to watch next week’s episode!]
Although Gong Sheng did not have high expectations for the ratings, he still cared about the reputation. He looked through the comments and found that most of them were positive, which made him feel relieved.
I was thinking that I could have a good rest and sleep, and see how the ratings are tomorrow, but the program team’s WeChat group exploded again.
Xiaowen shared a link to the group: "The party media praised us!!!"
Gong Sheng: “!”
When I clicked on the link, I saw that several party and government media outlets had reposted a clip of the poacher subduing released by the official survival microblog, along with a thumbs-up emoji.
That's the official party and government media!!
This means that the higher-ups have recognized the positive value of Survival. Anyone who wants to criticize Survival in the future will have to think twice.
Want to criticize? If you criticize without saying anything that can be criticized, aren't you just slapping your boss in the face
In fact, it is easy to understand why. The main reason is that Xu Qiao helped the police to control poachers and save wild Asian elephants, which had a huge positive impact.
Several party and government accounts have a huge number of fans. After forwarding the video, the official Weibo account of "Survival" gained a lot of fans, and also attracted a large number of viewers to flock to the video website to watch the survival video.
…
The next morning, Xu Qiao received a call from Gong Sheng, asking him to come over and wait for the ratings to come out, and to discuss the arrangements for the next recording.
After Xu Qiao arrived at the office building, the staff of the documentary channel who had been waiting there early quickly took him to the conference room.
On the way, the staff member said, "Teacher Xu, Director Gong is in a good mood today, thanks to you."
Xu Qiao glanced at him and curved his eyes: "The ratings are out?"
"Not really. We have to wait a little longer. But the reviews are pretty good now, and we've even been praised by the authorities." The staff member smiled and said, "You know how high the ratings of documentaries can be. Now our reputation is what Director Gong values most."
When we walked to the conference room, the staff knocked on the door: "Director, Teacher Xiao Xu is here."
The conference hall was filled with filming crews and post-production publicity staff who were going to Xishuangbanna.
However, no one responded.
Everyone sat in their chairs in a daze, as if their acupoints had been pressed.
The staff member who brought Xu Qiao in was confused and knocked on the door again: "Director?"
Gong Sheng raised his head with difficulty when he heard the voice, and said in a daze: "Xu Qiao is here..."
Seeing this, the staff member whispered to Xu Qiao: "Then Teacher Xu, I'm going to work first."
Before leaving, I took a few more glances at this group of strange people and felt a little confused.
Xu Qiao nodded, walked over to sit next to Gong Sheng, and seeing that everyone in the room looked dazed, he asked, "What's wrong, Director?"
Gong Sheng seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to start. After holding it in for a long time, he handed him the form in his hand and said, "Take a look for yourself..."
Xu Qiao took it and saw that it was the national ratings ranking of last night's show.
As he watched, everyone finally came to their senses, and the noise in the conference hall grew louder and louder.
“Is the statistics wrong?”
"Yeah, how could it be this number..."
