Reborn as a little director

Hearing "Then don't let me pick up junk!", Xie Siqing quickly comforted him: "No, no, of course not."

"Humph."

"But..." Xie Siqing looked at such a small dark room, "Your studio is really dark."

"I like it like this, no one cares."

"...Okay." Xie Siqing said, "If you need anything, just let me know."

"There is nothing necessary." Zhang Yiran waved his hand, "I can't help you without you."

"Say it out and have a look." Xie Siqing insisted, "You can always come up with some solutions."

"You are really useless."

"How do you know if you don't say it?" Xie Siqing said, "Don't be too sure about everything."

"So, I want a girlfriend."

"……what?"

"I want a girlfriend." Zhang Yiran said, "You admit that you can't do it?"

"You want a girlfriend..." Xie Siqing looked at the dark room, "You have to go out."

"I don't like going out."

"Then, you are in a small dark room all day, how can you have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Yiran said with disdain, "I don't care. I don't like to go out, but I want a girlfriend."

It's too willful... Xie Siqing thought, if he wanted it, who would he want it with...

"Don't worry about the filming." Zhang Yiran said, "There's nothing I can't handle by myself."

"……Um."

"I've edited well-known shows that everyone has seen ten years ago, so you can't cause me any difficulties at all."

"Ten years ago?" Xie Siqing was surprised, "Then you are only a sophomore in college?"

"Yes." Zhang Yiran said proudly.

"Has everyone watched it? What show?"

"It's not like everyone has seen it, that's an exaggeration, but hundreds of millions of people have seen it."

"Oh?" Xie Siqing became even more curious, "What kind of program is it?"

"...Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Hey, tell me."

"Okay." Zhang Yiran said, "I was an intern in the most famous TV station in my sophomore year."

"Ah."

"Some programs of the World Cup have my participation, and that's what I mean."

"Oh," Xie Siqing thought for a while, "If hundreds of millions of people have watched it...then it will be a live broadcast of the game?"

"..."

"Does the live broadcast also need someone to edit it?" Xie Siqing was confused for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, "You mean the scrolling subtitles?"

A line of words rolled over the bottom of the live broadcast: To predict the outcome, please dial quickly, xxxxx, the prize is waiting for you!

Did Zhang Yiran mean this?

"..." Zhang Yiran's expression turned a little off.He said, "You can go."

"Oh……"

That's it, when all the material is sorted out, it will be sent to Zhang Yiran's studio, waiting for post-processing such as editing and special effects.

He also has a special effects artist in his studio, so he did all the post-production there, although there are very few special effects in this film.

Zhang Yiran's studio is actually not small, otherwise he would not have been favored by the previous director.

After being injured by that director, Zhang Yiran once quit the studio until Xie Siqing asked him to come back to continue.

While Zhang Yiran and others were working, Xie Siqing also made an appointment with Xia Yuhe.

The soundtrack and dubbing and so on must be finalized immediately.

He has been in contact with Xia Yuhe.

Although Xie Siqing didn't say anything, Xia Yuhe vaguely felt that Xie Siqing was waiting for her to join the crew, and the prerequisite was that he could be relied on.

So she studies harder.

Xia Yuhe herself can feel that it is more suitable for her than the soundtrack of pop songs.

Sometimes, she sends Xie Siqing her latest works to listen to.

Xie Siqing could also clearly feel that she was making progress, especially after she was recommended by Zhong Yang to Liu Yao as his student. Of course, this was also because Xia Yuhe was fired from the company, so she had time to concentrate on studying the soundtrack.

A while ago, Xie Siqing gave her one or two clips in the movie and asked her to try adding background music to it.

Xia Yuhe finished it soon.

Xie Siqing thinks it's not bad, it's what these fragments should look like in his mind.

So I decided to ask her to come out and talk.

They meet in a coffee shop.

I haven't seen her for a long time, Xia Yuhe is even more beautiful.

Her skin was fair and bright before, but she could see that she was a little tired.

Not so now.

The whole person is glowing, it seems that it is because they are doing their own work.

"Long time no see." Xie Siqing said.

"Long time no see." Xia Yuhe also said, "But I don't think it's been that long."

"Yes." Xie Siqing said, "I always see it online."

"Ah."

"We had a preliminary chat yesterday." Xie Siqing went straight to the topic, "Today we will discuss the details."

"it is good……"

The two talked for a long time.

After the final farewell, Xie Siqing saw Gao Liang coming.

"He came to pick me up." Xia Yuhe said, "By the way, come over and chat with you."

"...Well." Xie Siqing looked at her and said, "Thank you for your carefulness."

"Hey...!" Gao Liang said, "She never wanted me to pick it up. She only allowed it because she came to see you today. We are old classmates."

Xie Siqing asked, "Are you two together?"

"...she hasn't agreed yet."

"Oh……"

Gao Liang didn't seem to want to say this, he said in a very exaggerated tone: "You know?!! Jing Ran he...he...he...!"

"Yes." Xie Siqing said, "I know."

"Scared me to death!" Gao Liang said again, "That's why Lian Xi recommended Yu He to try that movie... But the people in the company thought it was Yu He who threw himself into his arms... Cut."

"...Stop talking." Xia Yuhe whispered.

"...I'm sorry." Gao Liang immediately turned into a dog's leg.

"Also." Gao Liang said again, "Last time I asked you to introduce a boyfriend to my cousin..."

"Yes." Xie Siqing said, "Your cousin said that she likes the proud type who is duplicity the most."

"The person you introduced is too unreliable..."

"what happened?"

"He didn't look for my cousin at all. Phone, penguin, nothing."

"...Maybe he's too busy."

At that time, Xie Siqing thought of two people when he heard cousin Jingran's request.

Chen Zhengzhi, and Zhang Yiran.

Chen Zhengzhi couldn't do it.

His age is there, and he has had countless love histories, introducing him to the past is purely a disaster for others.

There is one Zhang Yiran left.

Xie Siqing later carefully recalled the words Zhang Yiran said that day, namely "I can't help you without you", "You are really useless", "I want a girlfriend, you admit that you can't do it" and " I don't care. I don't like to go out, but I want a girlfriend." These two words seem to mean asking myself to pay attention... It's just because of his personality, he will only say some offensive remarks.

Therefore, although he felt that Zhang Yiran was unreliable, but also felt that maybe the two could really match up, Xie Siqing recommended Zhang Yiran.

"Stop talking nonsense." Gao Liang said again, "What's the matter, you're an asshole."

"...Ah? Why do you say that?"

"Did you know?" Gao Liang was a little upset, "He left footprints on my cousin's RenRen website!"

"...What does that mean?"

"It means that he has visited my cousin's RenRen website! After reading the photos and diary, he didn't contact my sister!"

"..."

"My cousin grabbed me and said she didn't pass the resume test! Can't enter the interview test!"

"..."

Gao Liang over there was still angrily saying: "Don't you think she is ugly?! My cousin was so angry that she started an online game and entered the arena to abuse people to vent her anger!"

"and then?"

"...Kneeling for six rounds in a row."

"..."

Finally, Gao Liang said: "Next time, make something more decent!"

"It's my fault."

I am not very good at such things as pulling wires and pulling bridges.

At this time, Xie Siqing suddenly thought of something.

"Wait..." Xie Siqing said, "How does she know that he has been to Renren?"

"You can see recent visitors on Renren!"

"So, did he only visit it once, or did he visit it often?"

"……I have no idea."

"Let her pay attention." Xie Siqing sighed, "I strongly suspect that he goes to see it every day."

"what?"

"He will never take the initiative to express any wishes. In his opinion, he is the most amazing guy in the world. We should surround him and he should be merciful to us."

"..."

"So I have reason to suspect that he likes your cousin very much. Stepping on it every day is to let the other party notice him, and then the other party will add him."

"...Pervert." Gao Liang said, "I told my sister to ignore him."

"……it is good."

Although, Xie Siqing thought in his heart that these two people might really succeed.

……

- The post-production duration is not short.

Xie Siqing was not as busy as before.

This is mainly because both Zhang Yiran and Xia Yuhe hope to complete the work independently, and Xie Siqing is not a director who likes to intervene too much in the later stage.

Zhong Yang also took a break, and did not immediately proceed to the next step.

So Xie Siqing and Zhong Yang had more time.

They did a lot of things that they didn't have time to do before, and of course things that they did every night as a rule these days.

In addition, Xie Siqing and Zhong Yang thought of many ways to investigate Shao Yu.

However, nothing has been discovered that could lead to his murderous past.

Another thing happened during this time.

One day, Xie Siqing received a package.

The package is very small. When I opened it, it was a CD.

The sender's address is not written, only some strange things like ghost characters.

Xie Siqing was afraid it might be a virus, so he put it aside without looking at it.

Then, at night, Mike called.

"Director Yao." Mike said, "Have you received it?"

"Ok?"

"I mailed you a CD."

"...It doesn't matter if there is a disc."

"...Huh?" Mike said, "But, the little grape said, use one for the round one, he is a little grape."

"A piece is used to describe spherical objects, not round and thin." Xie Siqing said, "And it refers to very small things."

"So, a CD?"

"...that's for smaller spherical objects."

"So, a disc?" Mike said. "It's the same shape as a full moon."

"...Neither." Xie Siqing said, "One piece."

"Ha...!" Mike seemed to have grasped something about Xie Siqing, "Do you remember what you said?"

"……what?"

"It's also about 'Zhang'!"

"I do not remember."

"You said, 'Zhang' is used to refer to very thin things, which can be folded or unfolded!"

"..."

"How do you put away the disc? It shatters as soon as you break it!"

"...I really don't know." Xie Siqing begged for mercy.

Every time Mike asked him twice, he could ask him all kinds of meat and vegetables.

However, fortunately, with the improvement of knowledge, now the general pairing with Mike can be conquered by rote memorization.But as long as he meets something he hasn't seen before, Mike will still faint.

Xie Siqing finally understood why there was no sender's name and address on the package.

Because Mike can't write Chinese characters.

The name may be written, the address definitely not.

He speaks Chinese well, but he can't write it.

He once learned to write, and then it was like drawing a picture. He drew one stroke and then the other.

Later, I simply gave up.

In terms of reading, Mike is not very good.

Basically, he doesn't know a single word, only familiar with the menu.

At first, even Xie Siqing thought he could read, but later he realized that he just memorized the names of each dish.

For example, the first character of "Kung Pao Chicken" has two frames, and the last character is one horizontal plus one vertical. "Ma Po Tofu" has a "guang" in the first and last character.

Every time, when a waiter in a restaurant sees a foreigner proficiently ordering such things as "sweet and sour pork", "fried spring rolls" and "Yangzhou fried rice" while looking at the Chinese menu, he will praise Mike for his greatness. At this time, Mike would triumphantly say that he basically didn't know a word.

"What's in the disc?" Xie Siqing asked.

"Hey." Mike said with a weird smile, "You'll know it when you see it."

"..."

After putting down the phone, Xie Siqing felt Zhong Yang hug her from behind.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yang asked.

Xie Siqing walked to the table and picked up the CD: "Mike sent this to me."

"What is it?"

"do not know."

"About the movie?"

"It doesn't feel like it."

"Won't you know if you let it out and have a look?"

"Yes." Xie Siqing said, "Okay."

They walked into Zhong Yang's study.

Zhong Yang naturally sat in the chair first, then pulled Xie Siqing over, letting Xie Siqing sit on his lap.

Xie Siqing pushed the disc in, and then read the newly appeared resources.

Then a video appeared on the screen.

This one was taken with Mike's camera.

Xie Siqing could see it.

The shooting technique is very particular, and the post-editing is also very particular.

but……

The people in the camera are actually him and Zhong Yang.

It's always been the two of them.

All of them.

He lectured to Zhong Yang.

They leaned together to work on the script.

Zhong Yang opened the lunch box and gave him the food.

They looked at each other from a distance away from the others.

Scene after scene, it looks very beautiful under the gorgeous editing.

Mike this guy...

He even often shows off his skills.

For example, at a certain moment, the camera is zoomed in and the focus is on the eyes of the person.

At this time, you can always see Zhong Yang or yourself with gentle eyes full of love.

what is this……

Xie Siqing thought, it was like a short video on the wedding.

"..." After thinking for a while, Xie Siqing said, "Mike should have seen it, so he sent me this short video, so that I can keep this memory."

"..."

"What's your expression?"

"Actually..." Zhong Yang hesitated to speak.

"how?"

"It's not just Mike..."

"……what?"

"The main creator and leading actors are all known... and Chen Zhengzhi, Zhao Qing, Qiu Shi, Wu Yisen..."

"Stop." Xie Siqing looked at Zhong Yang with an unbelievable look, "Why?"

"Uh," Zhong Yang had no choice but to tell the truth, "You were drunk that day and kept calling my name. As soon as I passed there, you hugged me..."

"..." Xie Siqing didn't reflect on himself at all, and his focus immediately shifted to another person, "The production director also knows?!"

The director of the production is very eighty-eighth, if she knows something, it is equivalent to letting the whole world know about it.

"She doesn't know." Zhong Yang replied quickly, "The child has a fever and didn't come that day."

"……"That's good.

"I've already talked to them." Zhong Yang said again, "I probably won't say anything."

"...Well." These people should be trustworthy.

"Mike sent this." Zhong Yang said again, "Should I say that he is caring, or that he is annoying?"

"...All of them."

The movie was at the end, Xie Siqing saw that Chen Zhengzhi appeared, and secretly pointed in the direction of himself and Zhong Yang.

Mike then puts his face in front of the camera, pretending to be nauseated and about to throw up.

Zhao Qing covered Wu Yisen's eyes.

Wu Yisen's acting skills were not good, so he actually laughed there.

"..."

After playing it, Zhong Yang dragged it back and read it again: "It turns out that in the eyes of others, the two of us are like this."

"……Um."

The people in the camera really...Although they didn't do anything, they seem to have done a lot of things, so that people can imagine the feelings between them.

Over there, Zhong Yang said again: "Now I think it's quite sad that the film is finished, and the people in the team are very nice."

"...Well." After thinking for a while, Xie Siqing said: "When the post-production of this film is over, I will prepare the next film, and then ask them if they are still coming."

"Who is there?"

"Almost all of them." Xie Siqing said, "At least I want to invite Chen Zhengzhi, Mike and Wu Yisen."

"Okay." Zhong Yang asked again, "Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you take a break?"

"No." Xie Siqing shook his head, "I like making movies, but I don't like to rest."

"……Oh."

"Also, I want to make a name for myself quickly."

"Yes." Zhong Yang said, "I will definitely make a name for myself and become a top director."

"Actually..." Xie Siqing said blankly again, "This is my goal, and I'm doing it too, but sometimes I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

Xie Siqing smiled: "You might think I'm stupid. But in the past, every time I was dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted more, God would teach me a lesson and let me understand that I already have too much."

"..."

"It's been like this since I was a child. Whenever I have a life that other people envy, but I have a new desire without being satisfied, I will be deprived of something. It seems to want to tell me, don't be so Insatiable greed...and, the more it goes on, the more powerful it will be."

"..."

That's right.

It will get stronger in the future.

Originally, he once thought that if he could shoot a movie, he would be the happiest person.Later, after he started filming, he felt that if he could be recognized, he would be the happiest person.

When he is successful, he wants to win international awards.

When everything is going well, the parents die suddenly and early.

Later, he also achieved success in the international arena, and secretly missed Chi Wenyue again.

That time, his life was not saved.

Is this what happens to people who are greedy again and again?

Xie Siqing looked at Zhong Yang again, and said: "Last time...it was really smooth at that time, but suddenly there was a demon in my heart, and I obviously decided to secretly like him, but I couldn't help wanting to be together...After that, it was very difficult. Soon something terrible happened."

"..."

"Zhong Yang." Xie Siqing looked at him, "So sometimes I can't help but think, I've already got you, and it's not too greedy to be famous."

"not at all."

"Is there a reason?"

Zhong Yang also looked at Xie Siqing and said, "Because you are worthy of these."

"..."

"You deserve the best."

"……Is it."

"Yeah." Zhong Yang kissed Xie Siqing's ear, "Maybe God is helping you, I have a feeling that you got to know me only after that happened."

"……Right."

Xie Siqing thought, to get to know Zhong Yang again, the death in the previous life was also worth it.

……

——It took a total of three and a half months in the post-production period of this film.

Xie Siqing really felt that she had read the right person.

Zhang Yiran is too powerful.

The narrative is complete and clear, and the rhythm is relaxed.

Moreover, for the Qing Dynasty, the Anti-Japanese War, the Revolution, etc., he did not use fancy techniques.

In his view, since there is a comparison between the past and the present, there should be a difference in editing.

The past period should be relatively simple, and the modern period needs to be more complicated.

Therefore, for those scenes, Zhang Yiran did not switch frequently, but used more long shots, which seemed to have not been cut at all.

But after a closer look, you will find that in fact, many places are still cut, but they are all in places that are not obvious.

For example, when the camera turns to a dark place, or the camera captures the dazzling sun, then in these very dark or bright places, cut it secretly and connect it to the next scene.Sometimes this can be done between camera shakes as well.However, the audience didn't realize that this place was cut hard, they just felt that it was very natural all the time, and there was no sudden scene change.

This "very old" long-shot method makes the past part very vivid.

As for Xia Yuhe, she did not disappoint.

Her score flows so naturally, setting the mood without even noticing it.

……

Before the screening, Chen Zhengzhi launched round after round of publicity.

However, he said that the most important stage is after the film is even released.

They have no money and have to go through word of mouth marketing.

The kind of overwhelming, letting everyone know that this movie is about to be released, "the base of people who saw the promotion is large, so even if the percentage of people who bought tickets is not high, the number is still considerable" This kind of method is not suitable at all them.

He wants to take the route of "although not many people saw the propaganda, but many people who saw it did."

After several screenings, Chen Zhengzhi hardly slept.

He said that the kind of praise after watching some screenings is too common to make people have a deep memory.

For this reason, Chen Zhengzhi approached a very famous film critic who had a good relationship with him before, and wrote such a film review: [After watching the screening of this "Ke Chuan Gong Ye" directed by Yao Shunyu, I want to Give him 1 point.This film has a plot, thinking, and acting skills... The script, technique, photography, editing, soundtrack, etc. are all at the highest level, and you can completely look down on those films that are currently being screened.The reason why I give the lowest score instead of the highest score of 10, or 9 or 8 is because I want Director Yao Shunyu, who has just entered the industry, to know that this circle is so incredible. 】As soon as this comment came out, I burst out laughing.

In the past, those praise film critics, no matter how much they praised, received only that kind of attention.

Anyway, I didn't exaggerate the flowers.

This time it's different.

Immediately, it became the number one consideration when the entertainment editions of major media or professional film magazines selected film reviews.

After those screenings were over, Xie Siqing was quite nervous.

I don't know how those film critics commented on this movie.

Zhong Yang said: "Otherwise, don't read it, I'll read it for you. If you encounter something that goes too far, I can let you make preparations first."

"No need." Xie Siqing said, "I'm not so fragile."

Having said that, the tension remains.

Fortunately, everyone is boasting.

Among these voices, there are also discordant ones, at least for Xie Siqing.

— Rosen.

His partner at the beginning when he was filming the Xiao Long Bao commercial.

Later, because he really couldn't stand Rosen dominating the overall situation, he asked Gao Liang to go through the back door and exchange himself with Zhong Yang.

Then, when Rosen called to question him, he choked back mercilessly.

Now, seeing that he made a movie, Rosen immediately came out and criticized the movie from beginning to end.

Xie Siqing had no choice but to call Chen Zhengzhi: "Chen Zhengzhi."

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhengzhi said, "I'm busy, so please tell me briefly."

"Oh." Xie Siqing said, "Rosen scolded me."

Xie Siqing also knew how busy Chen Zhengzhi was recently.

There was only a little grape to help him, and I felt a little embarrassed.

"...You are too simple!"

So Xie Siqing went into more detail: "Rosen said our movie was useless, and many audiences believed it."

"He scolded you?"

"Ah."

Chen Zhengzhi immediately smiled and said: "Good scolding!"

"..."

"You don't have to worry about it, just leave it to me. I'm still busy, so I'll hang up first."

"..."

Although he completely believed in Chen Zhengzhi, Xie Siqing was still a little uncertain.

Then, the next day, Xie Siqing saw an article titled: [Why is the famous director Luo Sen so concerned about a fledgling rookie. 】In Chen Zhengzhi's article, there is no mention of the grievances between the two.

It was all written that Lawson regarded Yao, Shunyu as a future threat and competitor.

For these talented young directors of the new generation, Lawson's gift to them is suppression, and Yao Shunyu is undoubtedly the person who most pokes Lawson's sensitive nerves.

Throughout the story, Rosen is made into a psychopath with a sense of crisis, paranoia, and arrogance.

And Yao Shunyu is a future star who is modest and low-key, down-to-earth and hard-working.

"..." Xie Siqing thought, this is really, textbook-like spats.
