Chapter 148: Survival

Hearing that Bai Yesong also agreed with his thoughts, Tang He nodded.

Bai Yesong is a CCTV host and reporter. In 1993, he participated in the establishment of CCTV's TV news magazine program "Oriental Time and Space", and launched a sub-column "Son of the East", and in 1997, he participated in the live TV broadcast of major events such as Hong Kong's return to China and the interception of the Three Gorges Dam, and was a well-known host among the people.

But in fact, in addition to being a host and reporter, Bai Yesong's other identity is the program producer of the CCTV channel.

Whether it is now or in the future, Baiye Pine is deeply valued by CCTV leaders. And Bai Yesong did not live up to the cultivation of CCTV, as the elite of CCTV, he has created several well-known columns.

Therefore, Tang He did not doubt the ability of Baiye Song. In this advertisement, Bai Ye Song also played the role of producer.

After settling on the filming venue, the two began a field trip and discussed the set according to the advertising script.

"There are a couple of circular signs here, like the speed limit signs on the highway. ”

"It's a little bit wider, and there are a few TVs stacked on the floor, preferably old-fashioned TV ...... from the '80s."

"There should also be new TVs on the market now, so that it can show that the times are evolving with the times. ”

"Yes, yes. Brother Bai, can you get some early weather forecast video images from CCTV? In terms of plan, these TVs will broadcast weather forecasts......

"Wrap it around me. The corn stalks here are relatively lush, and the wires are just enough to cover the ground. ”

……

"In this position, you have to put a European-style desk, with a few stacks of manuscript paper high on the table, and you have to find a few foreigners. ”

"Foreigner's words...... You can find Yu Minhong, there is no shortage of foreigners in New Oriental!"

"Hah, really!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

……

……

"It's all arranged? ”

Feng Xiaogang's voice on the other side of the phone could still hear the sound of a broken gong.

Tang He nodded: "Yes, Brother Bai and Brother Zhongjun have helped a lot, and now we are waiting for the filming to start." ”

"Well, advertising is actually quite simple, not difficult. That is, the one-shot lens is not easy to grasp. By the way, I see that your ad is a one-man show for the male protagonist, is this male protagonist you?"

On the other side of the phone, Feng Xiaogang thought of the protagonist of the advertising plan.

Tang He's advertisement has only one male protagonist, according to the requirements of the advertising script, this male protagonist is very distinctive, more witty, like a comic, and it can be regarded as a highlight in the advertisement.

"Ha, how is that possible? Brother Feng, the protagonist of the advertisement is not me, but an actor from Brother Zhongjun's company. Tang He didn't expect Feng Xiaogang to think that he would shoot commercials, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Zhongjun's wishful thinking is good, he has earned fame and is an actor, he really deserves to be the famous Wang Laojiao!" Feng Xiaogang was also happy.

"Brother Feng, do you have time tomorrow? The weather forecast says that tomorrow will be good weather......

"Alright, alright, I'll be there early tomorrow morning. ”

Feng Xiaogang choked Tang He angrily.

Tang He heard it and quickly explained.

"Ha, aren't you afraid that Brother Feng will be busy!"

……

……

18 January 1998.

After intense preparations, today is the day of advertising shooting.

At around half past nine in the morning, the set was completed.

At half past eleven in the morning, the rehearsal ended.

Everyone ate the fast food bought by Tang Hetuo, and feasted on large pieces.

The people at the scene were either friends of Bai Yesong or employees of Huayi Brothers Advertising Company, and they had already gotten acquainted with each other in the past two days.

Besides, everyone came to help, there was no stake, and there was no relationship between superiors and subordinates, so they were very harmonious with each other, and laughter was endless.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, there was no video rehearsal of the advertisement, and the commercial finally officially started filming.

With Bai Yesong's "Ankesheng", the actors from Huayi Brothers Advertising Agency began to speak their lines according to the rhythm of the rehearsal.

I saw him walking along the winding dirt road, while chanting a word:

"The weather is good today, but the weather forecast says that the probability of precipitation today is 50 percent, which means that the chance of rain is as good as if it rains.

So does it rain or not?

This is only God knows. Anywayβ€”

I do not know!

It's no wonder that some people say that being a weather forecaster is a job that doesn't talk responsibly.

But have you thought about it?

Why is the weather forecast inaccurate?"

Three steps in front of him, Feng Xiaogang was staring at the camera's eyepiece with his head down and squinting.

He followed the actor's footsteps backwards while holding the camera firmly in his arms.

After all, it is not a big production, and the conditions on the scene cannot use slide rails, and the stability of the camera imaging depends on Feng Xiaogang's own level.

And what makes people bluff is -

Because the advertisement is a shot to the end, and the duration is as long as two or three minutes, Feng Xiaogang, as a cameraman, has to keep a distance of nearly two meters from the actor all the time.

The actor looks directly at the camera, and the peripheral vision of his eyes can finally see the road.

Although the live radio held the microphone high and stepped back one step at a time, this did not prevent him from looking back at the road from time to time.

And Feng Xiaogang was miserable, he couldn't see the road at all when he retreated all the way.

So now Feng Xiaogang is tied to a broken tight rope.

One end of the rope was wrapped around his waist, and the other end was held by Tang He.

Tang He controlled Feng Xiaogang's retreat path through the traction of the rope to prevent him from falling.

So Tang He pulled the rope while looking back, and couldn't help laughing silently as he walked.

It's so embarrassing!

It's like a cow!

Of course, he must not say this, otherwise Feng Xiaogang will definitely be hammered.

The hammer is not scary, it needs to be remade and it is over.

Even though you shoot with a high-definition digital camcorder, you don't have to worry about wasting film, but a pause means you need to reshoot, which is a lot of energy.

The male lead is still performing his show.

"During the First World War, there was no weather server, and the British scientist Charson mobilized 64,000 people to do manual numerical calculations to predict the weather.

After working day and night, this ambitious plan -

Finally failed!

It was not until 1950 that the American scientist von Neumann used a 30-ton electronic computer to successfully carry out numerical weather prediction for the first time.

As for the accuracy rate –

It's similar to the Tang Dynasty people watching the sky at night!

And that computer can only do 5,000 calculations per second, which is not even as fast as this mobile phone.

Of course, with the development of observation networks and the increasing power of weather servers, the accuracy of weather forecasts has been greatly improved.

But that's far from the end.

You've probably imagined that the weather forecast will tell you whether it will rain at 3:15 p.m., or even whether it will be sunny next year's wedding anniversary, and of course, snowstorms, hail, tornadoes, and so on......

In this way, unpredictable weather emergencies can be predicted in time, so that people are no longer harmed.

To achieve such accurate weather predictions, at the current level of computing, a server the size of a skyscraper may be required.

And with the continuous improvement of CPU performance, such a seemingly unattainable future -

It will come soon.

Because of you and me!

Maybe you've guessed that I'm an IT.

My job isn't just about getting kicked, it's not just about managing data, maintaining servers, I want to adapt the future of the industry because I have a heart to change the world!

Of course, I also need smarter IT.

Youβ€”

What do you want to change?"

The actor finally stopped.

His head is slightly tilted, his eyes staring straight at the camera, firm and persistent.

"CUT!" Bai Ye Song shouted to stop.

The crowd burst into shouts.

Applause, applause, cheers, whistles, resounding in the sky.

Because, no one could have imagined that everyone would be able to survive all over again.

Now it's up to Feng Xiaogang's lens to see if there is any shaky or other image problems.

So soon, everyone came to Feng Xiaogang's side.

In the middle of the crowd, Tang He, Feng Xiaogang and Bai Yesong re-watched the previous footage through the display of the digital video camera.

"I think it's a good shot!"

The white leaf pine didn't see anything wrong.

"Well, that's good!"

Tang He also nodded.

Although it is not yet a finished product, the image is very close to what he remembers.

"Brother Feng, do you think there are any other problems?"

Tang He turned his head and asked Feng Xiaogang.

And the others around him were also staring at Feng Xiaogang.

Although everyone is engaged in the film and television industry, they are not professional directors after all, and Feng Xiaogang is undoubtedly the authority present.

Feng Xiaogang grinned: "Add a little rain and thunder special effects in the later stage, and add Intel's corporate standard at the end, and it will be live." ”
