[Entertainer]”Expeditions Unlimited” continues to be directed by Mike and continues to be enjoyable
1. ViuTV’s “Expeditions Unlimited” is currently airing. This program is said to be the most expensive per episode since the launch of ViuTV. Mike did not partner with Error on this trip, did not film a group show, and instead challenged himself to documentaries. He took his film crew to South Africa and Uganda in Africa to shoot wildlife documentaries. The goal was to capture orangutans, rhinos, great white sharks, and other wildlife documentaries like National Geographic. Rare Birds, even though the shooting subject matter is different, it is still full of Mike’s directing style, fans can rest assured to continue to support it.
2. Director Mike went to Africa this time to shoot a documentary, which pushed his approach even further. If you watch him for the first time, you may keep asking why there are more Marco, Cheng Renfu and Curry behind the scenes than in front of the screen, and why you need to film vomiting. But those who are used to watching him will know these things. Mike has always directed His specialty is also the reason why the programs he leads can be successful.
3. The focus of this trip to “Unlimited Adventure Team” is the Unlimited Film Crew. After watching 9 episodes, Mike directed and filmed the scenes himself, including blocking bullets, riding an ostrich, and touching the power grid, all of which challenged the limits. No. 7 The episode focuses on director Rain P, talking about his struggles and his fear of being laughed at.

4. Equally interesting is the radio engineer Huo Wei. In the second episode, he dropped the hat given to him by director Mike and fell into the sea. His disappointed look made people laugh and cry. In the end, they successfully retrieved the hat from the water, and Huo Wei was so happy. Once you take a look at the tin hat, this weird friendship is indeed very beautiful.
5. The makeup artist who was traveling with me turned out to be an expert in bird watching, which was completely unexpected. The other director Alfred, the assistant PA, the photographer, etc. all appear in the documentary, making the documentary very humane. The audience will unexpectedly step into the perspective of the filming team, as if they were participating in an African adventure together.
6. Generally, wildlife documentaries will only broadcast the footage that was successfully captured. Another interesting aspect of “Expeditions Unlimited” is that the audience can see the failure process of their filming, such as the Great White Shark in Episode 1 and Episode 7. They were gathering Tiger Fish, and although they couldn’t take any photos of great white sharks, they unexpectedly took photos of two whales, one of which was bigger than the boat they were on. The tiger fish was obviously deceived, and the film crew became a “big water fish”. After all the hard work, they took a boat to see only some fish hairs that looked like grass carps.

7. Although the focus of the filming is not entirely on the artists, the three hosts also have opportunities to perform. Marco overcame his inner demons in episode 7 and performed the stupid pig jump three times in a row. Curry performed on-the-spot stitches for Mike, who was hit by a rubber bullet, and finally made the audience understand why she wanted to join the group as a “military doctor”.
8. The most eye-catching one is Cheng Renfu from Xiaoshuqie. He speaks clearly and has a sense of humor in his tone. He doesn’t just rely on winking to be funny. Among the many YouTubers who have turned into TV show hosts, I think he is the best so far. of one person.

9. The “golden scenes” that Mike said he wanted to take are also very beautiful, such as the orangutan and rhinoceros captured in episode 8, and the shoebill stork in episode 9. These shots were hard-won, and the photographer who shot the orangutan They almost collapsed; the shoebill stork was nowhere to be seen after searching for half a day. However, after a lot of hard work, one was finally found and it was photographed flapping its wings and flying. Even though the audience saw this through the TV screen Wild animals and birds are also inexplicably moved. No wonder they are moved to tears when they watch it live.
10. “Expeditions Unlimited” continues to have Mike’s strengths. He knows how to use lenses and editing to make things funny. The art style presented on the screen, such as fonts and image introductions in front and behind the scenes, is unique to this company. The narration is also done by a businessman. Taiwanese DJ Yan Lianwu uses his emotional and deep voice to create a sense of absurd joy, all of which add points to this documentary.
11. Mike always likes to shoot things that challenge the limits of the human body. The style is like the American “Jackass”. Sometimes it makes people laugh, but some people can’t stand it. This is also the case in “Expeditions Unlimited”. For example, in the third episode, the vomiting scene was deliberately filmed, and even taking vomiting pills. Some scenes were a bit nuclear and unbearable. However, we have to admire Marco as an idol. He went crazy without hesitation. Ugh, it can be said that he created the bottom line for Hong Kong idol shooting. I have to admire him for this.
12. However, the part in the documentary where foreigners speak English is not accompanied by relevant Chinese subtitles. This is inconvenient for the audience and can be improved. In addition, I would recommend everyone to watch the full version online. Compared with the TV version, which is full of swear words, the online version will be more enjoyable to watch.
