Du Yuanqi's eyes widened, looked at her brother, and then looked at Liu Zifei: "Brother, do you also know how to make movies? Why does this beautiful sister want your guidance?"

Before Du Caige could speak, Liu Zifei had already smiled and said: "Yes, your brother is a hidden master, he actually has deep directing skills." ”

Du Feiqi blinked her big eyes, and Du Caige rubbed her little head: "I like to make movies very much, but I'm just a beginner." ”

"But Sister Liu said that you are very powerful!"

"That's someone lifting me up. Du Caige didn't want to talk about it.

After all, it may be a very abrupt thing for relatives to suddenly make movies.

Fortunately, Du Yuanqi was not suspicious, and it is estimated that she also felt that Liu Zifei was just saying a few words that would be beneficial and costly.

Du Caige quickly changed the topic and asked Du Yuanqi about her life at school, her recent grades, whether she had any friends, whether she had any grudges with others, and so on.

After finishing eating and going downstairs, Du Caige said, "I'll take you back to the hotel." ”

Du Feiqi pouted unhappily, but did not protest, but quickly changed to a smiling expression.

Liu Zifei smiled softly, and subconsciously glanced at Du Yuanqi: "Okay." ”

At the dinner table just now, after several covert confrontations, she finally realized that this beautiful sister-in-law seemed to reject her.

But she really wanted to spend more time with Du Caige and talk a few more words.

After getting in the car, Liu Zifei said: "Otherwise, you go to my hotel room and take a look at those materials together." ”

Without waiting for Du Caige to answer, Du Feiqi had already said in an exaggerated tone: "Have you progressed to the point of opening a room in a hotel?"

Du Caige knocked on her head and said to Liu Zifei apologetically: "She has been closed in school for several months, and now she is suddenly free, it is inevitable that she is a little too excited, ignore her." ”

Du Feiqi rubbed her head and complained, "Brother, can you stop hitting me on the head? ”

He asked again: "Sister Liu, why do you go to the hotel, can't you go to your house?"

Liu Zifei's smile stiffened.

Du Yuanqi is so smart, she immediately understands that staying in a hotel and not going home belongs to this sister Liu's sadness.

She just wanted to mess up Liu Zifei's date with her brother, and she didn't want to really stab others.

So he immediately changed the subject: "How long do you have to watch the material? I'm so bored by myself." ”

Du Caige thought for a while: "You can write your homework next to you." ”

"Are you really my brother? I always felt like I was raised. Du Feiqi, a youthful and invincible, lively and lovely beautiful girl, immediately turned into a gloomy and resentful beautiful girl, looking at her brother with dangerous eyes.

"Don't think you have enough homework? I don't think my brother cares enough? Then I'll pass by the bookstore and buy you more workbooks. Du Caige's answer was concise and forceful.

"Hmph!" the girl in the passenger seat turned her head to look out the window.

The corners of Liu Zifei's mouth couldn't help but hook up a good-looking arc.

She wanted an older brother since she was a child.

Later, when she was older, she knew that it was impossible to have a brother, so she turned to ask her parents to give her another brother.

My sister is resolutely unable to do it.

The younger sister will compete with her for favor, compete with her for beautiful clothes, and snatch sweet cakes.

But the younger brother is fine.

If her brother is beautiful, she can take him to show off in front of other children, let her brother play a role when she is pretending to be a family drinker, and when her brother grows up and develops a muscle, she can also protect her.

It's a pity that her parents are very busy with work, and her grandparents and grandparents also have their own difficulties, and they are worried that they will have no one to take another child, so they have never had a second child.

Liu Zifei and other younger brothers waited desperately, and later even felt that if there was no younger brother, it would be good to have a younger sister.

But her parents just don't give birth.

Ay.

Growing up as an only child, Liu Zifei always envied those girls who had siblings.

When she arrived at the hotel room, Du Feiqi angrily carried her schoolbag to the side, took out her homework book and slammed it on the small round table.

Liu Zifei smiled: "Are you really going to do your homework? Come and watch it with us, and see what your brother and I shot together. ”

The three heads came together and looked at the picture on the laptop.

Paragraph after paragraph, a considerable part of it is repetitive, but there are slight differences in angles, lighting, or actors' performances.

Du Feiqi watched it with relish at first, and after a while, she covered her mouth and yawned.

Half an hour later, without Du Caige opening her mouth, she ran to the small round table next to her to do her homework.

And Du Caige and Liu Zifei watched intently.

After all, they are professionals, and looking at these seemingly boring materials, they are already thinking in their minds about how to make good use of them, through cutting, piecing, through different sequences, using them to tell a complete story.

Liu Zifei turned her head to look at her sister-in-law and whispered, "I have editing software in my laptop, you can do rough cutting now." ”

Du Caige didn't speak, looking at the screen intently, but nodded slightly.

After watching all the two-hour footage taken by Liu Zifei, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening.

Because during this period, he still slowed down and froze frames, and a few shots were watched repeatedly, which took a lot of time.

Liu Zifei didn't feel bored at all.

Half of her mind was tied to Du Caige's body.

Although she pretended to look at the screen, she had been looking at Du Caige's side face with the rest of her eyes.

Perhaps, compared with the popular little fresh meat, Du Caige's skin is worse, his hairstyle is not so good-looking, and his gray hair is not shiny, and the overall feeling is not so exquisite, and there is no youthful and energetic feeling.

But his eyes are deep and full of human care, he seems to be able to fully understand and empathize with others, and his bearing is calm, even quiet, and he is not in a hurry to express his opinion, preferring to be silent most of the time.

Liu Zifei felt that he was too attractive to her like this.

Maybe I admired him at the beginning because of his good looks.

Until now, Liu Zifei also feels that she is a face control.

Ugly people, she still can't accept it.

However, if Du Caige gets fat, or has a car accident, which leads to ruined appearance, she thinks it doesn't matter.

Liu Zifei imagined a scene where Du Caige was so fat and puffy that his eyes were almost squeezed out of sight, and nodded vigorously.

Well, it's his words, it really doesn't matter.

Du Caige looked at the time, and then turned his head to look at his sister: "Are you sleepy?"

Du Feiqi pointed to her nose unhappily: "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes. ”

"Not sleepy. ”

"Then you can write your homework again, and I'll discuss the editing with Xiao Liu. ”

"Hmph," the tsundere girl said with her head down, "whatever you want, you don't care about me at all anyway." ”

No matter how dull Du Caige was, he also found that his sister was a little tricky today.

But he didn't think about it deeply, he just thought that his sister's tsundere was committed again.

Now that his mind is full of editing, how can he have time to ponder his sister's thoughts?

Of course, even if he is given time to ponder, it will be impossible to figure it out.

He ignored it, opened the editing software, and got to work.

Liu Zifei said curiously: "Do you put a paragraph at the beginning?"

"Of course. ”

"I thought you were going to make it a little more dramatic at the beginning, or set up a bit of suspense. I think the previous paragraph is quite suitable for the beginning, after all, it is a short film, don't you think you should consider making the beginning more impactful?"

Du Caige explained: "No, think about it, what is the overall tone of this short film. ”

Liu Zifei tilted her head and thought about it, and said in an uncertain tone: "Seeing that traditional culture is irreversibly disappearing, a little sad and a little sad?"

Du Caige actually felt that it was inappropriate to use "a touch of sadness", but he did not refute her, but said: "Almost." In short, this short film is not strange and dangerous, but like the orthodox sect in martial arts, one move and one style are upright, and there must be a compelling style. ”

"It's like the number one master in the world, learning martial arts with others. ”

"It can be light, it can be light, don't write too hard, don't ink too much, and stop when you click. ”

"If you want to beat the strong with the weak, then you have to make a lot of moves. ”

"But you are the number one master in the world, you have to have the bearing, you want to overwhelm people, your gestures seem ordinary, they are the simplest moves, it seems that even an eight-year-old child can easily learn. But in fact, your move is to go back to the basics, to put it mildly, and then you have to give people room to reminisce. ”

Liu Zifei kept nodding her head, indicating that she was taught.

Editing a movie is like playing a puzzle.

However, there is no single correct answer to this puzzle.

It's like giving you a lot of all kinds of ingredients and spices for you to cook.

Different chefs will definitely make different dishes with different flavors.

That's where editing comes in.

The famous "Heavenly Dynasty", directed by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Shadow Down, Foot Fighter, Flower of the End, American Gangster, Prometheus, The Martian), starring Orlando Bloom, the elven prince Orlando Bloom, and Eva Green (Dreaming of Paris, 007 vs. Casino Royale, Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle, Vulgar Weirdos) and Edward Norton (The X-Files, Hulk), Oscar-winning actor Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Star Wars Prequel, Gangs of New York, Hurricane Rescue) and other powerful actors.

This lineup is luxurious. A great director who has won the Lifetime Achievement Award, two Oscar winners, and a European actress.

The investment is also very large, 130 million US dollars.

Everyone had great expectations for this movie, but after its release, it was considered a standard bad movie.

I feel that the story is monotonous, the characters lack three-dimensionality, and the narrative is ambiguous.

In the end, the global box office only received 50 million US dollars, and there was no return.
