On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of reform and opening up, the public channel of Henan Radio and Television Station launched a five-episode micro-documentary "Under the City", focusing on the new "underground" space in the process of modern urban development through fresh storytelling, fast-paced lens use, and online manuscript characteristics.
With the popularity of the documentary on the whole network, some netizens left a message: I didn't expect to be ** by this story below the horizon. So, what kind of touches did this micro-documentary, which is only a minute long, bring to everyone?
See a city from a new perspective
Many documentaries focus on a city, but "Under the City" looks at Zhengzhou from a unique perspective.
The documentary takes the moving perspective of Zhengzhou's longitudinal section, from the fireworks above the city's "horizon" to the underground maze under the city's "negative altitude", showing the unknown realm of ordinary people under the cityUsing the parallel perspective of Zhengzhou's cross-section, through the movement shots of robots and shuttles, the audience is led to discover the characters and stories at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal axes, and tells the development and evolution of various levels of the city's underground.
The fresh narration style and visual effects of the post-80s director team make "Under the City" a new form of work with a sense of network, dynamics, and even joy.
The most impressive thing is that the narration in the documentary is vivid, for example, in the episode "Mirror Prosperity", the opening commentary "If there is such a place, constant temperature and humidity in all seasons, not affected by rain and snow, for people who like to go shopping and eating when they have nothing to do, a proper conscience customizes a good place", the relaxed expression is ingenious and warm, and the theme of underground business is cut into cordially. In addition, the language style of the whole film is full of network sense and makes people laugh, for example, when introducing the underground commercial street, it is explained that "100,000 square meters underground, which is equivalent to the existence of 14 football fields", and "in the future Erqi underground business district, it is stepping out of the pace of 'six relatives do not recognize'".
The documentary is classified and displayed from the aspects of water supply and drainage under the city, underground pipe gallery, underground rail transit, commercial ecology, and the future under the city. For example, the subway route map "appears", using visual effects, making each station shine, and the dynamic and static switching of the subway station is quite a bit of the flavor of the metaverse.
Received praise from netizens for the "** department".
If the appearance of the city is the 'face', then the underground space is the 'lining' of the city, which builds the foundation of the whole city and makes our life more comfortable and beautiful. Xiao Shuo, a young teacher of Zhengzhou Business School, learned about the "hidden and great" Zhengzhou underground project through "Under the City", which provides strong support for the lifestyle and business model of rich city residents, "Seeing that our city is so bright, spacious, and full of science and technology, my heart is also full of a sense of security."
For this short and concise documentary, which is very in line with the characteristics of mobile communication, netizens are very sought after, calling it a "documentary full of cinematic sense", and think that the program of one episode per minute is not enough to watch, not enough to watch at all".
Netizen "Half a catty chatter" thought that the show was very "popular science", which made him understand: "Through the intensive use of public underground space, there is now rapid development above the surface". The message of "Cotton with a long heart" said: "Although there are no more sparrows chirping on the telephone poles, there are no more disorganized cables!Netizen "Quiet Happy Palace" said that through the program, "I saw a different Zhengzhou in the 'parallel space'." Netizens "take a look around" expressed their hearts directly: "Build a big Zhengzhou, pay tribute to the workers!".Netizen "Hard Fist Big Bear" sighed: "I didn't expect to be ** by this story below the horizon!."”
"Under the City" adheres to the integration of communication, small screen priority, large and small screen interaction, and uses new thinking to design topics and build communication points in combination with content characteristics. Since December 18th, "Under the City" has been broadcast on Henan Satellite TV, Public Channel, Urban Channel, People's Livelihood Channel, Legal Channel, and News Channel for five consecutive days, and has been launched in Henan Radio and Television. As of 18:00 on December 31, the data of the whole network has reached nearly 1 billion, and it has been on the hot search list 26 times, and Lankao will also drink the water of the south-to-north water diversion There are eyes and ears in the water supply pipe, and the infrastructure madness is killing crazy in the underground and other topic words have been on the news list for five consecutive days.
The development of new cities is people-centric
The underground space is a relatively closed scene, and without the support or intervention of the characters, it will become a dull existence. In the face of this difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently, the creator insists on people-oriented, from a personal perspective, with a smaller profile, to cut the resonance of the theme.
For example, the second episode of "Subway "Post" Man" shows that he travels through hospitals, shopping malls and office buildings in Zhengzhou from the perspective of a courier errand boy, relying on taking various subway lines to accurately calculate the time, and finally deliver the items to customers on time.
Adhere to the people's city built by the people and the people's city for the people, improve the level of urban planning, construction and governance, accelerate the transformation of the development mode of super megacities, implement urban renewal actions, strengthen urban infrastructure construction, and create livable, resilient and smart cities", the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out the basic direction for promoting the development of new cities with people as the core in the new era.
With the rapid increase of urban capacity, the development and utilization of underground space plays a vital role in alleviating traffic and improving the environment. Wang Yunhui, an associate researcher at the Henan Academy of Social Sciences, was very emotional after watching "Under the City", "When people are in a bustling city and are used to seeing high-rise buildings rising from the ground, who has ever thought that it is the construction of underground space that makes the city have a different scenery."
Some people refresh the city's skyline above the surface, while others build the city's foundations beneath the surface. Wang Yunhui said that "Under the City" shows the two sides of the city, so that we can finally see and understand the "parallel space" of the city, in addition to focusing on the rapid economic and social development achievements of Zhengzhou in recent years, it is also people-oriented and people-oriented, so that the audience is always surging with warmth and hope for a better life in the future city in addition to the best in their hearts.
