Worried that Yi Yao and the others would have problems later, Li Xiang simply found a benchmark video and explained it to Yi Yao and Zhang Bin.
"For videos like yours where no characters appear, the video material requirements are actually not high. It should be no problem to shoot in the studio I have set up. The key is how to present a complete video. This is the most important. Look at this
Although there are characters in the video, the purpose is still to showcase the product, so a lot of transition effects are used in the video, and at the end of each transition, the center of the composition is left to the advantages of the product they want to show, and then coordinate with it.
With appropriate background music, the whole thing is complete.”
Zhang Bin is a fresh graduate with little work experience. Although Li Xiang didn't say much, it still made him feel a little enlightened.
Li Xiang continued: "The most important thing about a good video is its rhythm. Transition points, lens switching, and alternation of distant and close shots can all reflect the rhythm of the video. The most important thing is... the background music. The music is stuck.
Whether it is transitioning at rhythm points, switching, or alternating between far and near shots, if the music and the rhythm of the video can be well connected, then it is a good video.”
…
Li wanted to talk a lot, mostly professional knowledge, and he could only try his best to express it in words that Zhang Bin and Yi Yao could understand.
By the time it was almost finished, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, and it was time to eat.
Although Qin Mo had been trying to do something, she could tell that this person named Li Xiang was a skilled craftsman. Before the few people had finished chatting, she had already gone out to buy food and came back.
Crayfish, beggar's chicken, grilled elbow and some green vegetables.
Seeing Qin Mo carrying back a lot of food in big and small bags, Yi Yao looked surprised: "You robbed the restaurant?"
Qin Mo ignored her and placed the food in front of Li Xiang: "It's not for you to eat, so there's so much nonsense. Is this handsome guy interested in coming to our company?"
When Qin Mo said this, Yi Yao and Li Xiang both laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Qin Mo was confused by the two of them.
Yi Yao then explained: "Do you know where Li wants to work? Yunchuang. Why, you still want to poach people from your uncle's place?"
Qin Mo rolled his eyes: "I thought it was a big deal."
During the meal, Zhang Bin kept chatting with Li Xiang. As the saying goes, an editor who can't write a script is not a good cameraman. Zhang Bin has learned a lot today.
Li thought he was a videographer, but he didn't expect that he had insights into editing and video scripting. Compared with the professional knowledge learned in school, these are obviously fresher and more attractive.
Li Xiang was constantly pestered by Zhang Bin and talked about a lot of shooting problems.
For example, photographers have to read the script before shooting. Although Yi Yao and others do not need to write scripts for their videos, the photographer must have his own picture before shooting. You have the final video effect in your mind.
Only by knowing how to shoot and edit can the video be more complete.
For example, in color grading, the overall tone of a video is integrated with the actor's mood, environment, and theme of the video. Blindly pursuing video special effects will only make the video messy and soulless. Good photographers and editors usually don't show off their skills.
, they think more about how to suppress those unrealistic ideas.
Halfway through the meal, Zhang Bin suddenly said: "Brother Li, let me worship you as my teacher."
One sentence put Li Xiang to shame. He was a fairly well-known photographer, but it was so easy to accept an apprentice. Moreover, in the photography industry, it is too common for apprentices to starve to death.
Yi Yao knew that Zhang Bin was conquered by Li Xiang, so he smiled and said: "Then you have to knock one."
Qin Mo curled his lips and said, "Yi Yao, you are still kowtowing in this age. I think you are a remnant of feudal thinking. It is the 21st century, okay?"
Yi Yao didn't show any weakness: "What do you know? This is called the inheritance of etiquette, okay?"
…
In the afternoon, in order to let Zhang Bin master it as soon as possible, Li Xiang personally shot several video materials and guided Zhang Bin throughout the final editing.
Zhang Bin sighed: "I finally understand why they all say that society is the best university. I have studied editing for four years, and Brother Li summed it up in two videos. You'd better accept me."
Surrounded by Yi Yao and Qin Mo, Li Xiang really accepted this apprentice.
The video issue has finally been resolved.
Although Zhang Bin's shooting techniques are still a bit immature and cannot be compared with Li Xiang's, after all, their requirements for videos are not high, and Yi Yao is satisfied with this kind of effect.
The problem has returned to the anchor.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, someone from Yunchuang called Li Xiang and told him that they had a difficult video to shoot. Li Xiang had no choice but to go back.
Seeing Zhang Bin constantly playing with the lights in the studio, editing, adding shots, editing again, adding shots again, Yi Yao felt happy for Zhang Bin for a moment.
Not everyone can have such a good situation if they can treat their passion as their job.
In one afternoon, Zhang Bin had unknowingly produced six videos. Yi Yao was watching the whole process and occasionally offering help to Zhang Bin. After the video was released, not to mention Yi Yao, even Qin Mo said after watching it: "You
You can do it, kid, you can make progress so fast in one day."
"Then I have to thank the master. The master taught me well."
At six o'clock in the evening, it was time to get off work. As the sky darkened, Yi Yao's mood also darkened.
"What's wrong, why don't you leave?" Qin Mo rarely took the initiative to talk to Yi Yao.
"The old couple are getting divorced, and I'm wondering whether to go back." Yi Yao didn't hide it either.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Mo got into the car and skillfully opened the passenger door.
Zhang Bin hadn't gotten off work yet and said he wanted to finish the last film before leaving. Shen Man went out and bought her a cup of milk tea, along with some snacks, and told him not to be too late and not to forget to lock the door when leaving.
, and got into Qin Mo’s car.
Qin Mo took Yi Yao to the entrance of Beijing Academy of Performing Arts, where they had been handing out leaflets.
"Why did you bring me here?" Yi Yao was a little confused.
Qin Mo pointed to a stall next to him: "The skewers here are pretty good. Let's have some today."
Before Yi Yao could react, Qin Mo had already dragged him into the stall.
Qin Mo ordered a large table of dishes including mutton skewers with edamame beans, peanuts, oysters and scallops, Wangjing waist, and spicy crayfish, and also brought a ten-pound bucket of draft beer.
"What are you going to do? I have no intention of risking my life to accompany the villain?" Yi Yao felt terrified when he saw the ten-pound bottle of draft beer. What's going on with this girl?
Qin Mo didn't listen to Yi Yao's nagging. He took the cup and took two large cups of draft beer. He drank half of the cup without waiting for Yi Yao to say anything.
"Drink, are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Yi Yao was a little confused. He was fighting with himself a while ago. Why did he seem to be a different person now?
Although she noticed that Qin Mo was a little abnormal, she didn't pay much attention to it. At her age, it was a comfort to have someone to accompany you to get drunk when you were depressed.
Halfway through the meal, Qin Mo pointed at the proprietress at the stall and said to Yi Yao, "Do you know who that proprietress is?"
Yi Yao shook his head: "How could I know?"
Qin Mo chuckled: "Lao Zhang's old lover."
"Uncle Zhang?" Yi Yao looked at the landlady carefully, looking a little incredible. Although the landlady is already in her forties, it can be seen that her figure and appearance are very outstanding. She must have been a beauty when she was young.
Qin Mo said while drinking: "Lao Zhang had an affair with the boss's wife when he was young. Lao Zhang's family was poor, his parents died early, and he didn't have many relatives in the family. The boss's family did not agree with the two of them being together. Later, the villagers
There was a businessman who fell in love with his boss's wife who came to propose marriage. At that time, Lao Zhang was also very confused. He should elope with his wife. He didn't have the courage, and her family did not agree with the marriage. After more than half a year of struggling like this, Lao Zhang finally finally
I still broke up with the boss’s wife, and the boss’s wife finally got married to the businessman Haoshang.”
"Why did Uncle Zhang suddenly break up?" Yi Yao was fascinated and asked unconsciously.
Qin Mo smiled and said: "That guy, Lao Zhang, is stupid. He felt that he didn't have much money to give the boss lady a good life, so he quit on his own initiative."
Yi Yao pointed at the proprietress: "Then why did she set up a stall?"
Qin Mo: "After a few years of marriage, the business was lost. The two sold their ancestral home and moved out of Heiquan Community and rented a stall in Changping to make a living."
Although the story sounds unremarkable, Yi Yao's feelings are still very deep. He knew before that Lao Zhang has never been married, and now that she knows this, she can certainly guess that Uncle Zhang never married because he regretted what happened back then.
Find your other half.
Maybe I blame myself for not being able to be with the one I love, and not being able to let the one I love live a good life.
Qin Mo sighed with emotion: "People are like this. They don't know how to cherish when we are together. In the end, there is nothing left, and we will regret it for the rest of our lives. Do you think it's funny or not?"
While drinking and chatting, they both drank too much without realizing it.
By the end of the drink, neither of them could stand any longer. They sat together, arm in arm and calling each other brothers, looking much more harmonious than before.
At twelve o'clock, as soon as Chen Lu got home, she felt something was wrong. She always felt that someone was following her. She quickly went upstairs and locked the door, and then she dared to look out through the peephole.
This time, Chen Lu saw clearly that it was the man who was following her. He came up the stairs, stayed at the door for a moment, and finally walked upstairs. It seemed that he still didn't know where Chen Lu lived.
Room, just found the community.
Chen Lu was so scared that she quickly found her cell phone and called Yi Yao.
"Hello, who's there?"
Listening to Yi Yao's voice, Chen Lu knew that Yi Yao had drank, and asked in a panic: "Yi Yao, where are you?"
After drinking too much, Yi Yao was a little speechless: "I...I was drinking with Qin Mo."
Hearing that Yi Yao was drinking with Qin Mo, Chen Lu suddenly hung up the phone.
In the past, when Yi Yao had something on his mind, he would always come to her. Now, can Yi Yao talk to others about his worries?
