Minghu Culture, 9th floor.

In a room of about 30 square meters, curtains block almost all the light.

Directly in front of the three rows, with only twelve seats, is a 120-inch medium-sized screen, and at this moment the screen is showing fragmentary images of some TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Of course, there is no doubt that it is all related to the plot of Sun Ce played by Li Qian.

And this viewing room has just been renovated not long ago.

It's just that Li Qian is more accustomed to calling it a "pull sheet room".

Of course, this pull-out room, which has only belonged to him so far, is obviously more luxurious than the pull-up room in the film school, I don't know how many grades. From the decoration, to the playback equipment, audio equipment, and even the seats and carpets underfoot, they are all decorated according to the standards of top hotel suites.

At the beginning, Li Qian bought the eighth and ninth floors of the building in one go, and also completed the overall basic decoration together, but for Li Qian's studio, which was just starting out at that time, not to mention two floors, an eighth floor was empty and most of it was useless, so the ninth floor always only maintained the basic decoration, and did not do specific division and functional decoration.

Until last year, because the scale of the company has always been in continuous expansion, although even in 98 years now, an eighth floor is still enough, but in October last year, Li Qian still decided to completely clean up the ninth floor.

There will be no occupancy and office work for the time being, but in the near future, there will definitely be people living here.

And Li Qian is definitely the first.

Li Qian has a remote control in his hand, which can stop, rewind and fast-forward at any time, but in fact, he has not operated anything since the start of playing.

One such copy. Feng Yumin arranged for someone to send it to him not long ago, which not only included the pictures that had been edited into the upcoming public version, but also a lot of waste shots, and even NG shots at that time.

These things are worthless to the audience, but they are very interested in the film and television industry. In particular, Li Qian, who has a considerable interest in photography, directing, screenwriting and acting, and has really engaged in related work in various industries, is quite valuable.

Through these multiple shots, which may be shooting copies of the same picture, and even through one after another scrapped performances and useless shots that have been edited, he can get a glimpse of the pros and cons of his performance from another angle, and can observe the director's control over the actors' performances to a certain extent, and of course, he can get a glimpse of many directors' adjustments and grasps of camera angles.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just a TV series, according to it. Its technical content is incomparable to even ordinary movies. But you must know that in this drama, it is the top TV directors and photographers in China at the moment, these people may not be able to succeed if they go to make movies, but their mastery of TV dramas is undoubtedly the first in China!

So. Although there is no pause, there is no regression. But in fact, Li Qian has always been very serious.

And while watching, he still frowned and thought.

Sun Ce's role in the entire TV series is not long together, but with the addition of various NG shots, the weight of this copy is not small, and the playing time together is nearly four hours.

Li Qian divided them into four parts. Every day, he took an hour to look at one copy, and then, after reading it for the first time, he would read it a second time from the beginning.

And today, it's the third time he's started watching it.

For the art industry. Including literature, painting, music, film and television, etc., are all creative industries, in such an industry, in fact, the most difficult thing is the creation of the soul.

For no other reason, a successful, soul-level creation can open the minds of countless art practitioners who are trapped in place, and at the same time provide a landmark that can be located.

Take the music industry as an example, just like Zhen Zhen is to the domestic female singer group, and the Beatles are to rock.

Without them, perhaps what should have risen would still rise, but it would certainly be a different story.

Even...... Without those geniuses, perhaps something would never have appeared.

In the final analysis, the so-called art is really only something that only a few people can afford to play and can enjoy.

A simplest example, there is no Cao Xueqin in this time and space, so up to now, the four major domestic masterpieces, except for the Water Margin Three Kingdoms Journey to the West, have always been "The Golden Vase of Plums", and there is no literary work that can reach the level and influence of "Dream of Red Mansions".

And without Pu Songling, there is still no "Liao Zhai" that talks about ghosts and foxes.

It can be said that these geniuses are the guiding beacons of all art practitioners, and they are the things that can really stay after hundreds of thousands of years and be called art by future generations.

On the contrary, it is destined to be the rarest thing for everyone, but for Li Qian, it is the most scarce.

If he wants to be a commercial musician, then he has at least a thousand classic songs in his hands, and he can easily become popular with a newcomer with some qualifications. To be an artistic explorer, he can play "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" for erhu, "Liang Zhu" for violin, "Yellow River Cantata" for concerto, and even play suona, he can create a new set of songs adapted from "Hundred Bird Sound", called "Hundred Birds and Phoenix".

And if he wants to be a writer, not to mention anything else, even if he just makes up the famous short stories in "Liao Zhai" that he can remember, it is scary enough. What's more, he still has Jin Yong Gulong, if he really plays literature and art, Lu Guo Maoba Lao Cao's things, and "White Deer Plain" and the like, he hasn't read it, maybe the writing is far behind, but ...... Relying on this line of mixed rice to eat, there is still no problem.

And if he wants to be a filmmaker, he must have no problem being a screenwriter, just the blockbusters he watched in Hong Kong, the mainland, and Hollywood in his previous life, even if the screenwriting level is almost good, just copying and copying is enough to make him the most well-known screenwriter in the industry.

Even, there are so many good books to base upon, plus his rich experience in his previous life. Even if he uses a little snack, he pays for it, and he will have to be a director to eat, and there will be no problem.

So, here's the problem.

He does not lack these so-called lofty and original things that he has obtained in the eyes of others for a lifetime, what he lacks. Instead, it's just the most basic basic skills.

As a director, how do you turn a scene into a scene that is at least a qualified image to present to the audience? What lens language should you use? What kind of lighting do you need a gaffer to help you set up? What shots do you need a photographer to help you capture?

What emotions and performances do you need from the actor for a character line?

At the end of the day, when all the shots required by the script have been shot, how do you edit them into a coherent and fluid story for a film or TV series?

Being an actor, especially a good actor, is never easy.

But there is no doubt about being a good director. It's even more difficult.

And now, Li Qian is making up classes little by little.

Even before he didn't have this studio, he set himself the goal of going to the cinema to watch at least 20 to 30 movies a year, and when he returned home, he would watch about 50 more old films with his home playback equipment.

He went to study photography, and at the top film theater in China, he was exposed to the top teaching, and at the same time. He also enjoys interacting with the students of the directing department, borrowing their textbooks and taking notes. I would occasionally go to other people's classrooms to audit, and even often go to the film studio with the director department to watch the film, discuss and communicate with each other.

In fact, he doesn't have to work so hard.

With only the treasure house of art in his memory, no matter what he does, there will not be much obstacle in fact. At least compared to the vast majority of people in this world, he is a genius in his own right! In fact, if he is not ambitious, just a music circle is enough for him to achieve fame and fortune.

It's not even an exaggeration. It doesn't take too long, just give him ten years, and after ten years, he will be qualified to be called the "Godfather of the Music World" by everyone!

He can even take a large number of classic English songs and directly take Liao Liao, He Runqing, Zhou Yan, and Xie Bing to brush up on the international style, so that they can upgrade to become divas in the international music scene!

But just, for him, it wasn't enough.

Whether it's ambition or ambition, in short, with such unique conditions, he is not ready to give up so easily, he is holding back his strength and wants to do something bigger.

What's more, he loves movies.

Yes, he loves music, but he also loves movies.

And the same love comes from the bottom of my heart.

Therefore, as an absolute powerful figure who is almost unmatched in today's music industry, as a man with two divas, and as the boss of Minghu Culture, who controls the powerful music force in his hands, he has never stopped his steps for a day.

He always knew exactly what he needed.

He always knew exactly what he was going to do next.

…………

Although it has been 98 years, the curtain of the era of rapid development of electronic technology has long been opened, but the mainstream preservation format of the current film is still the traditional film copy.

Film is very expensive, and although the requirements for film are relatively low for filming TV series, it is still expensive. Moreover, even copies that require lower standards such as clarity and sensitivity are really heavy.

Li Qian is the only one on the entire ninth floor, and in Minghu Culture, the playback equipment of this small theater is the only one he can play, so, although it has been compressed to almost the worst standard, a copy that can play for 30 minutes still weighs more than a dozen catties, and every time he finishes playing, he needs to get up and change the copy by himself.

After reading the two copies, more than an hour has passed.

The sound of the projector turning had stopped, and the images on the screen had disappeared, leaving only the light of the projector, which was reflected in snow-white.

Li Qian sat in a comfortable seat, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't get up for a long time.

It took a cigarette before he stood up, first walked to the window and tore open the thick blackout curtains with a "snort", so that the sunlight outside could shine brightly, and then he turned back and took the copy, put it away, and turned off the power of the playback equipment, and then opened the door and went downstairs slowly.

For the art industry, good things are like lighthouses, like coordinates, which can be used by people to figure out and learn from them over and over again, and thus extend and eventually develop their own artistic brains. But bad things, such as NG shots, such as scrapped samples, are not completely worthless.

To take the simplest example, Li Qian helped Liao Liao make an adjustment to reduce "Woman Flower" by half a K in the recording studio, invalidated the version that was close to completion, and then re-recorded a new version.

There is no doubt that for the recording industry, only the adjusted version is the version that will eventually go to the market and be heard by everyone, and the version that has been close to being recorded before is the version that has been scrapped, and the people who have heard that version may not be more than ten people combined. What's more, perhaps in the future, these discarded versions will be quietly destroyed one day, and no more people will ever be able to hear about them.

And Zhou Ye was fortunate to catch up with and personally experience that adjustment, and he also heard the version before and after the adjustment. If he only heard the previous version, or only heard the latter version, maybe for him, it would just be another emotion: Sister Liao Liao is really strong! That's it. However, hearing these two versions in a period of twenty or thirty minutes before and after, in contrast, was enough to bring him a strong shock.

So, he seemed to have something to gain in a trance.

This is the so-called "waste", or rather, the contrast, which can bring reference to practitioners in the art industry.

Especially for Li Qian, watching such a "waste collection" over and over again, combined with the memories left by the other two versions of the finished product in his mind, made his gain quite big.

…………

When he walked down the stairs, Li Qian's spirit was still a little trance, as if he hadn't broken free from those thoughts. But soon, before he could walk to his office, Huang Wenjuan suddenly pushed the door out of a lounge, just saw Li Qian, and stopped him at that time.

"Brother, Zhuang Meiyue has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Li Qian was stopped by her, and was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head, "I almost forgot to see something, you call her to come to my office, I'll talk to her." ”

In the blink of an eye, the three newcomers signed by the company last year, Ge Rileng, Zhao Yuan and Zhuang Meiyue, have now completed a six-month professional-level training. In other words, according to the company's plan for them, in the next step, Li Qian must consider making records for them separately.

Among the three people, after combining the opinions given by the special training teacher, the first person Li Qian wanted to see was Zhuang Meiyue.

After all, compared with the current step-by-step carefulness, step-by-step temptation and step-by-step accumulation of film and television, making music, especially pop music, is his basic plate.

And now, his basic disk needs to be expanded a little more.

Zhuang Meiyue was the first one he elected. (To be continued.) )
