Some people like this food documentary "Drinking in a City" and some people hate it. After all, this documentary really does not meet the high-quality standard of "Flavor World". And Li Guangjie, the actor invited by "Take a City to Drink", is not a popular artist himself, so this food documentary has not attracted much attention.
In fact, Drinking in a City is neither fish nor fowl. Many netizens generally think that Drinking in a City, as a food documentary, has actually made the effect of a semi-finished variety show. Moreover, in the food story of this variety show, we can also feel many patterns similar to those of Korean food variety shows. Of course, as a food documentary, "Take a City to Drink" also tells the local specialties of eight cities in China, and slowly unfolds the characteristics of each dish in front of the camera in the form of documentary, so that the audience can understand these specialties more thoroughly and deeply, which is very valuable and meaningful.
However, as a food documentary, the positioning of "Drinking in a City" is somewhat vague. Li Guangjie's eating and broadcasting scenes look like variety shows, and some netizens even suspect that they can imitate street food fighters now. Moreover, Li Guangjie's vocabulary introduction to food is not comprehensive and in-depth, and his understanding of food is also relatively lacking. If the narrator was not added to the later program group, perhaps this food documentary would appear more monotonous and pale.
Of course, as the original creative team of "Flavor Room", it is still relatively level in the later period. The dubbing and the depiction of food scenes are very emotional, as if people are enjoying the food personally, which is also the key to the success of this documentary. Due to the different perspectives of the audience, their personal views on "Taking a City to Drink" are also different. I hope that after "Take a City to Drink", more food documentaries with new shooting methods will be born.
