We gathered at the radio and television compound at seven o'clock in the morning and set off. This was an excellent opportunity to propose to my mother the opportunity to move to a place near Taiwan.
Sure enough, her mother-in-law, Ms. Jiang Yunjin, heard that Lu Beicen would go out at six o'clock the next morning, which meant that he would have to get up at five o'clock. From the dinner table, she began to comprehensively arrange the shortcomings of this job, and even said to give way.
Beicen resigned to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Lu Beicen said weakly: "Mom, even if I finish graduate school and study for a Ph.D., I can never stop working for the rest of my life. Even if I finish my Ph.D. and enter a university, if I want to be a professor, don't I have to go through the thesis process?
I might as well think about how I can avoid the pain of commuting, the road is too long..."
Lu Beicen deeply understands the leadership spirit of Ms. Guo Jiang Yunjin. As a person, especially a girl, no matter whether she is born well or marries well, she is not as capable as he is.
Sure enough, with one sentence, Ms. Jiang Yunjin began to turn her gun and fire at Comrade Lao Lu: "It's your fault that you had to choose this house to live in. The place is sparsely populated and far away, which makes it difficult for the children..."
Comrade Lao Lu's gold-rimmed glasses were clamped on the bridge of his nose, half of his eyes were exposed from the frame, his eyes were full of resentment and innocence. He thought back to the time when someone, who knew who, hired a Feng Shui master, looked around the city, and chose this villa.
Here, families are prosperous, wealth is prosperous, children and grandchildren are prosperous, families are harmonious, and everything goes smoothly.
Lu Beicen quickly stopped his mother from continuing to make arrangements. If he continued like this, he might not just move out alone, but the whole family would be moved.
"Mom, this house is so nice. I like this house, and Hao also likes it. This place is so nice. You see, the Feng Shui master you hired was really accurate. Everything in our family is going smoothly now.
Such a feng shui treasure land is hard to find even if you have money."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ms. Jiang Yunjin is not a brainless person. She knows that her daughter must have already made a plan.
Lu Beicenji looked like a little girl: "I wanted to see if there are dormitories in the stands. The road is too long. I drove there this morning and it took an hour and a half. Fortunately, this car is small. If I drive there,
A Land Rover, I think I will be stuck on the road. Mom, because of the nature of our work, we often have to work overtime at night, or come back late from business trips. Should I come back or not? Mom..."
Ms. Jiang Yunjin was successfully captured: "Okay, hurry up and eat, let mom think about it again."
Sure enough, it’s better to have a parking card. With the card in hand, I have a parking space. Lu Beicen looked at the sign prohibiting entry of non-unit vehicles that he hated yesterday, and felt quite good. He braved the scorching heat yesterday.
It was a scorching sun. It was so embarrassing to look for a parking space on the street, and it was so miserable to enter the unit with half of my clothes soaked in sweat.
The first thing he did when he came out of Li Jiantao's office yesterday was Lu Beicen. He ran up and down, and finally got a customs clearance document from the Human Resources Office. Then he went to the property management company and paid the annual fee to apply for a parking card. Wahaha, Wahaha, Lu Beicen hummed.
Son, happily watched the gate pole raised high, followed the sign, and drove the car into the parking lot.
Wahaha, coming so early, it turns out that there are a lot of empty seats in the huge parking lot, even under the shade of the trees in the last row.
Lu Beicen's sharp eyes saw the empty seat under the shade of a tree, and then he saw Li Jiantao standing next to a car parked under the shade of a tree, chatting and smoking with two people.
6:45? Do leaders come so early these days? Lu Beicen quickly reversed the car into the garage and parked it under the shade he was looking for. Then he turned off the engine and got out of the car to pick up his luggage. He did it in one go. In less than three minutes, people were there.
We have already arrived at the seven-seater business car.
Li Jitao looked at Lu Beicen's hurried appearance and couldn't help laughing. A middle-aged man next to him who obviously looked like a driver smiled and said: "Hey, little girl can do it, this speed, this level..."
On the other hand, another man with slightly curly hair and about the same age as Li Jitao smiled and said, "Is this the new kid?"
Li Jitao nodded and said, "Oh, where are the kids? Master of B University, Lu Beicen."
Then he looked at Lu Beicen and said: "Xiaolu, this is our gold medal cameraman Mr. Du. This is Director Li from Qianyang Ancient City. There is also a cameraman Mr. Wang and their assistants. They are in the trunk.
Arrange the equipment, put your luggage in, and we'll leave."
Listening to Li Jiantao's introduction so carefully, Teacher Du raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Lu Beicen, which seemed a little unclear.
After getting in the car and chatting for a while, we got on the expressway, the driver drove, the cameraman fell asleep, the director read the materials, and set off to Qianyang Ancient City in standard business trip mode for the film crew.
It’s not that Lu Beicen likes to cram for a while, Qianyang Ancient City, as a cultural business card of Zhongjiang Province, she has been to. But in the past, she only visited it with the identity and perspective of a tourist, taking a quick look at the real cultural connotation.
things, on the contrary, I don’t take them to heart so much.
But if you make a fifteen-minute film that doesn't talk about the cultural connotation and origin of the historical city, but only talks about the prosperity and beautiful scenery in front of you, it will obviously appear empty and lacking in background.
We want to talk about the cultural connotation and the past and present of the city, but we cannot turn it into a tourism promotional video. The focus is on today after the transformation step by step. The test is naturally the ability of the creator.
How to grasp this degree? How to design the lens and how to use it?
Yesterday afternoon and evening, Lu Beicen looked at the pile of information, as well as some current information and videos of Qianyang Ancient City that could be searched on the Internet, as well as the memories of the past, and almost completed the filming outline of Teacher Yuan Song according to the
The entire film is fifteen minutes long, at a standard dubbing speed of 220 words per minute, plus many elements such as blank space, visual language, and soundtrack, and is refined into a shooting text of just over three thousand words.
After doing this, Lu Beicen's mind was already in a state of drowsiness. Naturally, those language and lens issues related to the image quality could only be solved in the car today.
Lu Beicen held her notebook in her arms. She first considered every word and then revised it, and then read it over again by silently reading it aloud. As she recited silently, a smile slowly emerged from the corners of her mouth. Well, she felt pretty good about herself.
After saving the manuscript, Lu Beicen copied a new version and began to refine the shots on it.
This is the summary of Lu Beicen’s experience in the last few months after being trained by the teacher at the National Television Station. No matter how short the film is, for someone like her who has a bad sense of picture, it has to be divided into shots.
For scripts, only when you make a split-shot script can you have a musical score in your mind. No matter how beautiful the writing is, if there is no camera performance, the sound and picture will be two layers, and in the end it will be about zero.
According to the basic editing principle of large, medium and close-up pictures, with each picture being no longer than three seconds, every sentence of text is turned into a group of pictures. After this text reaches the hands of the camera, it becomes a group of shots.
At this time, aerial photography was still a rarity, so a good camera directly determined the quality of this kind of film. The images captured by a good camera either had a visual language or could make the lens come alive. The most basic ability
The pictures are all in groups.
The so-called gold medal camera actually has the thinking of a director. The pictures they shoot must have a very high utilization rate and very few wasted shots. Sometimes the director only thinks of one and two, and he will give you one, two, three, four, etc.
The sense of surprise will make the director feel that the original boring editing work can also be very enjoyable.
The work was smooth and selfless. When Lu Beicen finally finished the work at hand, she realized that she was a little embarrassed. Seeing the five-kilometer sign for the next service area appeared, she cleared her throat with a somewhat heated expression.
He shouted softly: "Master Li, can you stop at the service area in front?"
Master Li answered very resoundingly: "Okay, the little girl is really determined. No wonder she was admitted to B University."
Lu Beicen was a little embarrassed. He forgot to go to the toilet. Is it something worth showing off? But he could only bury his head in the computer again. When the car finally stopped in the service area, the teacher Du opened the door and got out of the car. Lu Beicen
He quickly put the computer on the seat, got out of the car, and quickly entered the bathroom.
When Lu Beicen finally got into the car with ease, he found that his computer had somehow found its way into Li Jiantao's arms. Teacher Du, who had closed the car door, got together with him and began to study the storyboard script that she had not turned off.
This is a bit unfriendly. Although I always have to hand in manuscripts, after all, it is my own personal computer. Without permission, this, ha...
Mr. Wang, the cameraman in the next seat, had a smile on his face. He looked at Lu Beicen, who had the word "囧" written all over his face, and then looked at the two people in front of him who were looking at the script and still discussing the shots. They were just waiting for the good show to start.
.
Apart from Lao Du in the front row, who has not been scolded when following Li Jitao out for filming?
The car was so big, the two were discussing the manuscript, and the three people except the driver were listening with their ears bent.
Li Jitao: I need to revise this sentence a little. It’s too formal. Let me think about it (keyboard tap to delete, tap to delete sound...)
Teacher Du: Don’t change it, the wording is quite good. I’ll just give her this shot and it’ll be fine.
Li Jitao hesitated, and after a while he said: Yes, how to change it, it seems not as good as writing like this...
Teacher Du: Pull down
…
Teacher Du: Here, do you still remember the landmark building in the new city of Qianyang? How about changing the group shot here to a long shot, or changing it to a set of time-lapse pictures?
Lu Beicen's heart tightened. Damn it, he forgot to use the time-lapse screen. Then again, who knew that a master like you could control the time-lapse...
Li Jitao: Well, yes, this transition is beautiful (keyboard tapping sound)
…
The car finally entered the city, and the two men in front finally changed the script of this scene from criticizing it to directly starting it. Lu Beicen felt like he was waiting for the trial, but he secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, there was no need to rewrite it.
.
Teacher Du: The battery is almost out. The battery life of this notebook is still good. It lasted for three or four hours.
Li Jitao closed the notebook with a click and handed it over from the front row. Teacher Du seemed quite satisfied with the script. Before Li Jitao could vomit the fragrance, he praised it: "Little girl, you can do it. No matter what university you graduate from, you can do it."
Judging from your script, I must have worked in our industry. Where did you originally intern?"
Lu Beicen took his notebook and replied softly: "I am an intern at the National Television Station."
"You also do special topics?"
"Um……"
"That's no wonder, Director Li, with her writing skills, no wonder you dared to let her go solo." Teacher Du said with a smile.
"Isn't this boy Yuan Song going to have his appendix removed at this critical moment? How many days are left in total?" Li Jitao looked dissatisfied.
"The appendix is going to suppurate. Who cares when you hand in the film? Okay, with this book, you can assign a master to her when editing later, and it will be fine." Teacher Du leaned back in his seat, feeling relaxed.
Why did you decide to go solo after reading the manuscript? Is the certain leader sitting in front of you here to make a difference?
"It's not that I don't want him to get sick. You said that at this moment, there is no one anywhere. There is no one available in the entire Taiwan recruitment. Maybe she will have to cut it herself. It's true, you girl, if you don't come early to report, you will be delayed.
At this time..." Li Jitao continued dissatisfied.
Teacher Du laughed out loud: "Hurry up and stop it. You picked up a treasure and are still complaining. When a newcomer comes, he has to wait around for half a year before he can start doing things, let alone under your hands."
Li Jitao waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's like this anyway. In the afternoon, Lao Du, you can just take her around and let her find out the feeling on the ground. With her way, this manuscript will be perfect everywhere.
Yes, it’s not easy to change it. I can only let her see it for herself and then change it herself.”
Teacher Du smiled and nodded: "That's alright. In the symposium in the afternoon, you can poke it there yourself, it will work better than anything else."
Finally arriving at the place, Master Li took them to a hotel next to the new building of the Xincheng District Municipal Government. Leaders and staff of the Propaganda Department were waiting at the lobby door.
Li Jiantao was quite familiar with them, and Teacher Du was also a stranger. They checked in after greeting each other, and several leaders came over at noon to have a meal together.
At the dinner table, Lu Beicen finally saw that Li Jitao was actually a good dancer. Even if he didn't drink, he made the atmosphere very lively. In a few words, he coordinated the afternoon activities, vehicle support, and car following work of the film crew.
personnel.
After dinner, Lu Beicen went back to his room and took a short nap.
I got up when the alarm clock rang, plugged the computer into the charger, turned on the computer, and read the shot script in detail. I had an idea in my mind. The few changes I made were indeed areas where I was not mature enough.
I don’t know enough about the language of the lens and the various shooting techniques.
Well, strengthen your study. That teacher Du seems to be a really good teacher. I didn’t have many groups in the past, and there were few opportunities to ask questions. This time, I must listen more and read more, and ask if I don’t understand.
After washing my face, the phone rang. At 2:30, we gathered in the lobby.
Surprisingly, Li Jitao also came down. When he saw Lu Beicen, he told him: "You should take a good look at it this afternoon and review it. Although your manuscript is not bad, I always feel that there are still some shortcomings. You can think about it yourself in the evening."
I have to revise the manuscript and there is no time. We must start shooting tomorrow."
Lu Beicen took a breath of cold air in his heart. He is not afraid at all, but he is afraid that the leader will say that it is very good, but there are still some shortcomings. Think about it yourself. If I can figure it out myself, why should I not write it in?
Lu Beicen got into the car with a lawsuit on her forehead. Teacher Du looked at the depressed look on her face and laughed and comforted her with a few words: "Don't be anxious. Maybe you can feel it after walking around the city."
