Editor-in-chief's note:
On the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland, the 4K documentary "Taste of Macao" produced by the Film and Television Drama Documentary Center of the Central Radio and Television Station was grandly launched.
The multi-flavored harmony of food taste, life situation and Chinese charm meets the diversified aesthetic pursuit of different audience groups for food documentaries.
Yesterday's "CCTV Drama Review" launched "One of the Three Aesthetic Tastes", which proves that Macao, the "world capital of gastronomy", is by no means a waste of time.
Today, I will continue to take you to taste the "taste of life" of the documentary "Taste of Macau"!
Life is in full swing
Telling the story behind the food is, of course, the meaning of the title of the food documentary.
"Taste of Macau" has many characters, and the film pays attention to distinguishing the priorities when showing the characters, both the group portraits of restaurant operators and laborers, the focus portrayal of the representatives, and the camera is also aimed at the practitioners related to the catering industry.
The key characters are continuously followed, showing people's acquaintance and mutual help with food as the medium, and conveying the philosophy of life that the people take food as the sky and the people's daily use is the Tao.
The history of "Camp Street Market" is more than 120 years old, and the film refers to this place with a story as "the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", focusing on several characters who are hidden in the city.
Colorful and unsympathetic, taste will be disgusted.
The taste of life is important in a "love" word.
The owner of the small shop on the street, "Saliva Dragon" Long Ge, is optimistic and open-minded, and does not leave his mouth when he works;
Mo Yiji's sister of the durian ice cream shop does stop and stop, and knows the most about a relaxed life and inner rhythm;
Liang Xiwei, nicknamed "Feisha", plays with three pots alone, his representative work is dry fried Niuhe, when stir-frying, the mood is relaxed, with the rhythm of music, he thinks that what is fried in this way is delicious,
After work, he transformed into a professional football commentator and unleashed his passion in his favorite field;
"Super brother" Zhu Jinchao kung fu in "stew", he only stewed a pot of suckling pig pot a day, while selling while drinking, sold out of the stall;
He enjoys the happy time of old friends getting together, and he also allows the old guests to bring their own ingredients and blanch them in the suckling pig pot, as if eating at home;
"Beef Offal King" Ah Xiang, with his position in the Macao beef offal industry, gets the most complete and best beef offal from the only three cows in Macao every day, and insists on using the freshest ingredients and the least spices to make the most refreshing original taste;
In his spare time, he also serves as a volunteer instructor at the martial arts center, hoping to teach his children the traditional art of lion dance.
In front of Zhu Sheng, the shopkeeper "MingGe" retired and passed the shop to his son, but he still had to take a leisurely walk to the shop for the sake of his father's honor.
The taste of life is pure joy, open-minded and self-satisfied attitude to life, relaxation and joy after returning to the truth, is the true meaning of every ordinary person's life.
Ma Qingqi, a freight driver who travels between the mainland and Macau, gets up early and gets dark, and often stays up late to queue up for the first customs clearance in order to deliver the freshest ingredients to the Macau market as soon as possible.
Grandfather
Small off
Guan Dad
Xiao Guan, a young man who returned to the sea from the city to fish, went to sea with his grandfather and father, and the creator presented the whole process of their fishing relatively completely;
Spectacular sea views, the fullness of labor, the joy of harvest, the whole passage brings people a clear and healthy emotional tone.
The lively scene of all kinds of seafood in the Macau morning market and customers getting what they want is a portrayal of the happy mood of the laborers and the best footnote to the taste of Macao cuisine.
After the return of Macao to the motherland, customs clearance became extremely convenient. Wong Wai-ho, a Hong Kong native, lives in Hengqin and works as a chef in Macau.
He uses the past for the present, the old dishes are new, and the ordinary ingredients are wonderful, showing extraordinary business ability.
The film uses a very fluent lens language to show the convenience of his travel between Macao and Hengqin under the new opportunities given by the times, and his happy well-off life in Hengqin has become the epitome of the happy life of the beneficiaries under the new pattern of integrated development of Qinqin and Macao.
"Taste of Macao" is close to the perspective of ordinary people's lives, using the stories of ordinary laborers to tell the beautiful life of Macao people, and the life stories related to Macao cuisine in the film carry the humanity and emotions of Chinese, thus arousing the resonance of many audiences.
A documentary is not only an important carrier for the world to spread Chinese culture, but also highlights the self-confidence and inclusiveness of Chinese culture. Tomorrow will continue to take you to taste the Chinese "charm" of the documentary "Taste of Macau"!
