Shooting Chongqing
The Chongqing TV Network will launch a new station next year called Chongqing International. They already have about 7 different theme stations, but this one will be unique in that it will be produced for the foreign market, and not shown in China at all.
As part of a 7-episode series "introducing the city to the world", I was invited to host one 30-minute episode on the Yangtze Three Gorges Tour. It was really fun being in front of the camera and do my spots, and after the first couple of takes, I settled in nicely and thought I did an OK job. Too bad the weather was so uncooperative, as it was foggy and gloomy nearly the whole trip. The last day when we got to the Dam we could barely see it even when we were standing next to it. Luckily, they have some footage from previous visits when the weather was clear, and they can splice that in to make a good show.
It was also some excellent free advertising for our company Victoria Cruises, as we took the newest and nicest ship the Victoria Anna, and our logo was strategically placed throughout the shots, interviews, and introductions.
