CHANGSHA, China, March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The highly anticipated documentary CHINA, returning for a second season
showcasing East Asian aesthetics and continuing the exploration of China's
legacy across the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, premiered
globally on Mango TV<https://www.mgtv.com/h/410211.html?cxid=7yj5z4xjkda> and
Hunan TV on February 28, 2022.
The documentary's cinematography draws inspiration from Chinese freehand
brushwork and uses symmetrical images to express the beauty of harmony and
generate a pure and sublime quality. With image setting and color composition
placing a huge emphasis on Eastern aesthetic principles, each frame is
transformed into a vivid ink wash painting unfurled before the audience.
Stories are also not unfolded through mere acting, but also symbolic visual
language coupled with minimalist image composition to convey contextual
information. The documentary is also shot in High-Dynamic Range (HDR) to
deliver a fully immersive cinematic experience for its global audiences.
Showing Eastern aesthetic at its finest, the storytelling also takes
inspiration from the essence of the Chinese traditional visual arts which are
characterized by vivid expressions and bold outlines, thus the beauty is
expressed by capturing the inner spirit and force through poetic language as
opposed to a linear description. For example, in a scene of the documentary, Du
Fu, one of the most revered poets in Chinese history, uses Qinqiang Opera to
express his inner monologue whiling wielding a brush pen in the air to write
poems.
Slow-motion is adopted throughout the documentary to deliver a greater sense of
serenity and intimacy, creating a semi-realistic and dreamy condition as the
audience savors the grace of Chinese culture. The result is a documentary that
is elegant without losing gravitas, interesting without losing emotional touch,
easy-to-understand without losing profundity.
