When it comes to nature documentaries, everyone will think of the BBC, the king. The nature documentary produced by
BBC has reached a very high level in technology and art. The pictures of

In China, we rarely see such high-reputation nature documentaries.

Why does China shoot so few nature documentaries?
One requires equipment and technology.
Many microscopic shots of small insects and plants cannot be taken under natural conditions.
sometimes needs to simulate the natural environment ecology in the studio, and then synthesize through image technology.

is time-consuming and laborious, and it burns money.
The shooting time of nature documentaries is always measured in years.
Even a small fragment of the wilderness may require multiple photographers to stay on for more than a year or even longer.
In 2006, the first season of "Pulsation of the Earth", 71 photographers were dispatched that year, spent 2000 days, went to 62 countries, 204 regions, and only invested 8 million pounds.

The second season of "Pulsation of the Earth" took 2,089 days and used 42 photographers to complete the shooting in 117 different regions in 40 countries. The
photography team gets up at 3 o'clock in the morning and takes eight or nine hours to take a photo, ranging from snow leopards to small ants.
At that time, the photographer waited hundreds of hours in the ice and snow in order to shoot the golden eagles hunting for a few seconds.

So when "Azure Land" first aired, many people thought that CCTV had introduced a BBC documentary. Another reason for

The Chinese documentary team shoots ocean stories for the first time in a nature documentary way.
is by far the largest, widest, and most comprehensive marine shooting operation in China.
In order to be able to display the domestic waters more comprehensively, the film crew traveled for 4 years and photographed about 120 species.
The sound of this film is all made of late-stage foley or sound effects, so it took at least one and a half years for the light-stage sound design part.
It is precisely because of the dedication of these people that we have seen the ocean story exclusive to China.
What we see from it is not only the weirdness of nature, but also the sadness of the weak.
The magnificence and fragility of life, the mystery and changeability of nature are all slowly spreading out in frames of beautiful pictures.
Welcome to this mysterious and energetic blue land——
from north to south, from the coast to the bottom of the sea, vast and changeable.
Four seasons change, ice, snow, wind, and huge waves. What life has to face is countless cycles of various trials.
In winter in the Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea, floating ice gradually covers the sea.
For humans, sea ice is a kind of trouble, but it provides shelter for some new life.
A harbor seal, only three days old, it can't swim or even crawl.
Without the protection of the mother, the cubs will not survive.
But baby seals can only live with their mother for more than a month. During this period, it must complete the growth process of moulting, weaning and launching.
then left his mother and faced life alone.
The northern part of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, the world’s lowest latitude icy area, is also the breeding ground for harbor seals in the southernmost part of the world.
The floating ice here melts earlier than in high latitudes, so the time left for harbor seals is more urgent.
The baby seal was eating and milking, and suddenly there was a "ton" sound...
Huh, my mother is gone?
This is a signal.
The sea ice is melting, maybe it's time for the baby seal to learn to swim.
Encouraged by her mother, baby seals left the ice floe for the first time.
Here in the Bohai Sea, the growth of the little seal has just begun.
The mysterious white elf from Beibu Bay in Guangxi quietly appeared on the scene-
is the Chinese White Dolphin, known as the "water panda".
They have lived in shallow waters above 25 meters along the coast for generations. The
film crew worked hard to guard, and took more than 500 gigabytes of video material in one morning, just to take the best picture of the white dolphins.
This immature gray Chinese white dolphin came into view.
It followed his mother to the estuary of the Dangjiang River in Guangxi and met with other family members.
At the same time, this little kid will learn hunting skills in this foraging ground.
The Beibu Gulf continental shelf has a thick sedimentary layer that provides them with stable food. The mother of
locked the target with the help of sonar and quickly rushed towards the prey. The little white dolphins followed closely, learning everything.
White dolphins have flexible and flexible bodies and are more adapted to survive in shallow waters.
At present, there are only a few thousand of these "sea pandas" in China's coastal waters. In addition to the illegal hunting and killing of humans, the life span of the Chinese white dolphins is only 30 to 40 years, which is why they are so scarce in number.
The endless blue deep sea, the wonders of various life are staged everywhere.
The vast ocean is different from a shallow bay. For giant predators, food is often difficult to find.
Brandt's whale, the most mysterious visitor in the ocean.
This young Brinell whale is 10 meters long and weighs about 20 tons. The weight of this tonnage of

In order to maintain life, it must follow the food to dive deep at night and float forward during the day.

can welcome the anticipated feast in the Gulf, no one can predict.
Spring returns to the earth, and the sea is calm. An epic migration of

In spring, they set off from the tropics and moved to high latitude waters. Among them are pregnant female whales.

can not only communicate with family members, but also draw a map of the seabed through echolocation.
However, long-distance travel still inevitably has the risk of getting lost.
A pregnant sperm whale appeared alone in Daya Bay, Guangdong.
it got lost.
The shallow sea near the coast is the "ghost gate" of giant whales.
The fishing nets all over here are deadly traps, and the low water level can cause it to run aground at any time. When
learned of this situation, the rescue vessel rushed to it and made a noise around the sperm whale, driving it to leave the bay and return to the deep sea.
Fortunately, the rescue was temporarily effective, and the female whale turned to swim to the deep sea. The rescue vessel
guards it behind.
However, after a long-distance migration, it is too weak and isolated. Humans can do very little.
here has become the end of its life journey.
When a whale dies in the ocean, its carcass will slowly sink to the bottom of the sea and provide a circulatory system dominated by decomposers for a hundred years.
The dead whale is like a deep-sea oasis that illuminates the light of life, continuously providing nutrients to the seabed creatures.
This is the last tenderness that whales leave to the sea. Humans give a poetic description of this process-
whale falls.
And this sperm whale that strayed into the waters of Daya Bay, but ultimately failed to complete the life ritual of "whale falling". Under the salvage of humans, this huge body of
left the sea for the first time and walked into the city. Now it lives in an exhibition hall in Huizhou and is "reborn" in the form of specimens.
In order to commemorate the sperm whale that left the last three days of his life in Daya Bay, people gave it a name-

According to witnesses at the scene, after
died on the fourth day, her eyes were exposed (on the surface of the water).
At that time, many photojournalists also took the picture: her eyes were dark, mattly exposed on the surface of the water, as if staring at her. This is the process of her death.
A pregnant sperm whale was found alive and died stranded, which is also rare in the world.
Generally speaking, after a mother whale gives birth to a child, she usually lifts her baby whale out of the water to help her breathe air.
So some people speculate that this sperm whale is struggling in the shallow waters so that the baby whale can directly breathe the air after birth. What exactly is the cause of
is unknown now.
We can only accept the fact that it will never come back.
But what is certain is that this lone sperm whale was accidentally entangled in a fishing net in the sea, and without the help of his companions, it had not eaten for a long time, and finally could not support it.
Shen Xiaoming was a staff member who had been participating in rescue and assistance at the scene.
He once revealed to reporters.
The fishing nets that caused the death of sperm whales may have been thrown into the sea by fishermen.
The old fishing nets will be repaired if they are broken. The current fishing nets are low cost, and they are often thrown into the sea when they are broken.
I also found a bathing suit in the sea. It was hung on a coral reef, and the piece covered by the bathing suit was bleached. I believe everyone has seen a lot of the hazards of marine debris to marine life in the news in recent years.

This piece of ocean world-
From coral reefs to seaweed beds, from bedrock harbors to silt bays, from mangroves to saltworks, this rich and diverse land is also the most critical place in the ocean.
The demand, possession and discharge of human beings make it overwhelmed.
This bay shared by creatures and mankind is the foundation for the survival of many life species, and it is also the hope for our oceans to be healthy.
Every species is striving for the same mission, which is to pass on life.
They do their best for this, and constitute the greatest wonder of the earth-
that is our ocean.
Its beauty and fragility remind us all the time.
What kind of past the ocean has encountered, what kind of future mankind expects.
Its magic and richness, splendor and vitality, depend on our choice.
