On December 17, the Central Radio and Television Corporation released the 2022 documentary film list, and 50 high-quality documentaries will bring rich audiovisual enjoyment to the broad audience through the multi-platform of the main station. At the scene, "China's first space 8K ultra-high-definition shooting mission" - the documentary giant screen film "Flying Over the Sky" was unveiled.
With the theme of "The Power of Record and Truth", the press conference was divided into many sections such as "Above the Firmament", "Journey of Time", "Poetry of Life", "Covenant of Ice and Snow", "Pulse of China" and so on. It focused on many original documentaries of the main station, such as "Great Dunhuang", "From Beijing to Beijing", "Flying Over the Ice and Snow Line", "Intelligent Era", "Taste of Macau", "If National Treasures Can Talk" (Season 4), "Aerial Photography of China", "Mountains and Rivers Years" (Season 3 and 4), "Above the Moon: China's Lunar Exploration Project Tour", as well as many documentary films such as "Beijingers, the Last Secret of Mankind", "It is to Run", "Sanxingdui Divine Revelation", "Flying Over the Sky" and so on.
Among these films, there are many works that show the profound heritage of traditional Chinese culture. Among them, the documentary film "Sanxingdui Divine Revelation", which tells the story of the world's "Ninth Wonder" Sanxingdui, deserves attention. Zhang Jinlin, deputy general manager of CCTV Records International Media Co., Ltd., said that the film will rely on real archaeological discoveries, combine the latest scientific research results, and use film techniques from ancient and modern times to tell the story of the protagonist overcoming difficulties to explore the truth. Interestingly, the film will use the creative concept of detective films to unlock the mystery of Sanxingdui layer by layer, and show the audience a three-dimensional, splendid and brilliant ancient civilization; at the same time, it will use modern scientific and technological means to reproduce the brilliant splendor of Sanxingdui civilization in three dimensions.
Zhang Jinlin mentioned at the scene that more and more archaeological discoveries show that Chinese civilization is pluralistic and integrated, taking Sanxingdui as an example, it is inextricably linked with the Erlitou culture and the Yinxu civilization, and there are many evidences that the Sanxingdui civilization has a deep relationship with the ancient Egyptian civilization and the Sumerian civilization. "In this film, our protagonist will lead the audience on a journey to explore the origins of Chinese civilization."
The blockbuster documentary "If National Treasures Could Talk" will also usher in the fourth season. Xu Huan, the film's general director, introduced that the fourth season tells the story of cultural relics of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. "The collective appearance of these 25 pieces of physical evidence left by the ancients in the fourth season is a surprise in itself." Xu Huan said that when the series was first launched, the vision of the creator was to use these 100 cultural relics to build a video miniature of Chinese civilization, "What is unchanged by us? To use the current popular words, it is to make "National Treasure" into an 'Internet celebrity', so that more people know, understand, and know the national treasure, and when we are idle, we can look into the depths of our history and understand where we come from. ”
When we look back at history, we have to mention Dunhuang. Although there are many Dunhuang-themed film and television works at present, the documentary "Great Dunhuang" still has its unique features. Zhang Xiaoying, the general director of "Great Dunhuang", said that Dunhuang is an important station on the ancient Chinese Silk Road and a crossroads for the exchange of civilizations between the East and the West, and the film not only talks about the past and present lives of the Mogao Grottoes, but also wants to convey the exchange, integration and mutual learning of the eastern and western civilizations. "In this film, you will definitely be able to see the secrets that you can't see when you go to the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, what you can't see clearly, and even the narrator will never tell you."
For "Great Dunhuang", it is very important to go to various countries along the Silk Road to shoot and shoot, but due to the impact of the epidemic, it is difficult to realize the original idea, so the main creative team invited documentary teams from britain, Germany, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, India, Japan and other countries to cooperate together. "Through a long period of communication and exchanges, we reached a consensus in the collision and came together to tell the history and today of the cultural heritage related to Dunhuang along the Silk Road." Zhang Xiaoying said.
It is reported that as a leader in the field of international documentaries, over the past three years, the CCTV-9 Documentary Channel (CCTV-9) has developed and deepened the market, launching more than 500 hours of premiere programs every year, and the size of TV viewers is nearly 1.3 billion.
