In fact, Yi Yao did not have any estrangement from Meng Chen. On the contrary, in Yi Yao's opinion, a person who made mistakes will cherish opportunities more.
The joining of Li Xiang and Meng Chen solved one of the biggest difficulties at present, and the project finally made substantial progress.
Because what Yimo wants to do is an IP account, which has very high requirements for video quality, Yi Yao has communicated with the Heiquan community before, and several people will temporarily move to the wooden house prepared by Qin Yanshan and work in the Heiquan community for a period of time.
time.
Lao Zhang obviously attaches great importance to this cooperation with Yimo. He has started to build a new wooden house in a few days. Although the amount of work is not small, a group of craftsmen still built it next to the original wooden house in a short time.
New wooden house.
The equipment and computers were moved to Heiquan Community. In the morning, Li Xiang and the bamboo craftsman Song Shanhe rearranged the work site, looking for the best shooting angles and processing the storyboards. Yi Yao and others were working on the script.
After deliberation for a whole morning, Yi Yao decided to reduce or even eliminate dialogue and present the video content in the form of "mime".
On the one hand, this is helpless. After all, there are currently no capable screenwriters, and the script writing abilities of several people are also very limited.
Although Yi Yao can create video content, he does not have much experience in specific dialogue and plot processing. On the other hand, mime presentation is also an innovation, and it is more intense for the performance of traditional handicrafts.
Furthermore, although there is no problem with the image of the craftsmen in Heiquan community, which is suitable for the situation, they obviously do not have any script skills. Although the local Beijing dialect is friendly, it will also reduce the "professionalism" of the video to a certain extent.
It mainly shows handicraft skills, with short chapters interspersed with funny content between junior sisters and senior brothers. At the same time, it uses the daily life between Song Shanhe and his apprentices to show the master's ways and inheritance.
Mime sitcoms focused on tradition and teaching. This content positioning was very rare on the reading platform at that time. Most of the IP operation routes would focus on the most popular comedy, emotion, and drama accounts on the reading platform, which are easy to attract traffic and easy to use.
Areas of rising popularity.
Although Yi Yao is worried, she is more looking forward to it. There is a big difference between video content and live streaming. If you want to do a good job in live streaming, you must make good product selections. The products do not meet the platform's tonality and are not cost-effective enough.
It is not easy to achieve results, so live streaming is usually a breakthrough from existing popular categories.
Video content is very different. Although the viewing platform is still in the early stages of development, the increasingly homogenized video content has caused aesthetic fatigue for many viewing users.
Take the high-efficiency field of reading and viewing as an example. A family from northern Shaanxi has almost occupied most of the traffic in this field. In order to make breakthroughs in the field of comedy, new creators must be specialized in content and continue to
Polishing the script improves the quality of the content and obtains traffic, so there is a saying that "content is king".
The new content presentation method and new focus can at least satisfy the "novelty seeking psychology" of some viewing users.
At noon, Yi Yao made work assignments. Li Xiang was the photographer in charge of shooting, Zhang Bin was the camera assistant and video editor, Qin Mo was in charge of on-site drama management and on-site mobilization. As an actor, Meng Chen also needed to assist Qin Mo in his work. Yi Yao himself
Participate fully in decision-making and planning.
On the first day, Li Xiang chose the shooting location. The handicraft workshop in Heiquan Community is halfway up the mountain surrounded by bamboo forests. The working place of bamboo craftsman Song Shanhe happened to be in an old house next to a huge pool. The scene was very suitable for shooting.
But the only problem is that although the old house is simple and charming, the lighting is not good and the indoor scenes are not well lit.
Li wanted to know that Yi Yao's funds were already very tight and he had no intention of purchasing enough lighting equipment. He approached Old Uncle Zhang to discuss expanding the windows of the house and even making two top windows on the roof.
The house is the inheritance of Lao Zhang’s parents. Although it is not a cultural heritage building, it still has some history. Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment but agreed to Li Xiang’s suggestion.
Seeing a group of people preparing to attack the house, Qin Mo pulled Li Xiang to ask what was going on. After Li wanted to finish, Qin Mo sighed: "This is the house left by Lao Zhang's parents. Lao Zhang no longer has any relatives.
You know what this house means to Lao Zhang..."
Qin Mo ran to stop Lao Zhang without saying anything, but Lao Zhang smashed the wooden window with a sledgehammer.
Looking back at Qin Mo, Lao Zhang had a look of relief on his face: "As the old saying goes, nothing can be broken without establishing. Although you, Uncle Zhang, do traditional crafts, I am not a conservative person."
In the afternoon, several people conducted several trial shots according to the discussed script. Fortunately for Meng Chen, she was originally a student of the Academy of Performing Arts, so there were no problems with her performance.
The problem is that Song Shanhe and a few young craftsmen, usually they can be completely immersed in their work, but when they see Li Xiang's camera pointed at them, their whole state is wrong.
Yi Yao asked Li Xiang if the problem was serious, and Li Xiang shook his head: "It's normal to be sick. Don't worry, I have a solution. Give me a few days to solve the problem."
The way Li thought was to keep shooting and shoot repeatedly, so that everyone could adapt to his presence and the presence of the camera.
Moreover, not only filming the processing process, but also the daily lives of several people and even their conversations during meals, Li Xiang set up his mobile phone and kept filming beside him.
Break-in means grinding first, and the grinding process will inevitably bring discomfort and tingling.
Fortunately, Meng Chen's activeness and cheerfulness helped reduce a lot of embarrassment for several people, and also kept the atmosphere at the scene positive.
It was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and several people were still busy. There was still a computer that had not been moved to the company. Yi Yao asked Qin Mo for his car keys and returned them himself.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the company. Yi Yao loaded up the car and was about to leave when Chen Lu called: "I made white chicken. Do you come to eat it or should I deliver it to you?"
Yi Yao hesitated for a moment: "Wait for me, I'll be there right away."
The most important job now is shooting, helping the actors find the shooting state, which does not require too much participation from Yi Yao. Moreover, it is already dinner time, and Yi Yao has not seen Chen Lu for a long time, so he decided to go back to Heiquan Community after dinner.
"Why do you drive Qin Mo's car?" Chen Lu asked Yi Yao while looking at the BMW 330 outside the window.
As soon as Yi Yao walked in, he took off his shoes and went straight to the dining table. He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, then said, "I'll come back to get something to show my sympathy to my beloved concubine."
As he spoke, Yi Yao put the pearl milk tea hidden behind him on the table.
Chen Lu was actually very pleased.
In Chen Lu's heart, Yi Yao has always been her best friend and will always be.
If it weren't for Li Xiang, their relationship would only get better and better.
In order to get together with Li Xiang, Chen Lu had to fight against Yi Yao, but her deep dependence on Yi Yao never diminished.
Even if it is a confrontation, even if many methods are used to deal with Yi Yao, there will always be a place in Chen Lu's heart that belongs only to Yi Yao.
This feeling made Chen Lu tangled.
"Come back to pick up things? Where have you been?"
"Heiquan Community, we are going to make bamboo weaving."
Chen Lu is Yi Yao's best friend, and Yi Yao is also Chen Lu's best friend.
In front of Chen Lu, Yi Yao never put his guard up and quickly told Chen Lu everything about Yi Mo moving to Heiquan Community to do a bamboo weaving project.
Although there would be very few opportunities for the two people to meet in the future, Chen Lu still breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yi Yao was not here, Yi Yao and Li Xiang would have no chance of contact.
Chen Lu can safely manage her relationship with Li Xiang until the two get together.
"Do you need help?" Chen Lu asked Yi Yao.
Yi Yao immediately looked at Chen Lu with a bad smile on his face: "I'm short of money. Great places are right in front of me, but I'm short of money."
Yi Yao was originally joking, but she didn't expect that Chen Lu would just take out her phone and transfer money to Yi Yao: "I still have hundreds of thousands, is it enough to give you 50,000 first?"
Yi Yao looked shocked: "Where did you get so much money?"
Chen Lu smiled and looked a little proud: "I am now the part-time leader of the entertainment live broadcast team, and I am rich."
In the end, Yi Yao didn't ask for Chen Lu's money. It wasn't that she was being polite or that she was embarrassed.
Yi Yao knows that the key to the success of the bamboo weaving project lies in her ability to control costs and risks. Having money is naturally a good thing, but it does increase the risk.
Even if the final result is not good, Yi Yao must control the risk within an acceptable level.
After eating, Chen Lu took out the dessert she had prepared, poured two more glasses of red wine and gave one to Yi Yao.
Yi Yao was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He looked up and saw that it was already getting late and was about to leave.
Chen Lu suddenly leaned next to Yi Yao and asked in a low voice: "Yi Yao, what do you think of Li Xiang?"
