Chapter 120: Frame-by-frame
"The commentary is really well written, very atmospheric, and very concise, how can there be English?" asked my father after reading it impatiently.
"Dad, what do you think is the original intention of CCTV to hold this event?" Meng Fanzhu sat down next to his father and did not answer directly, wanting to guide his father's thoughts to free himself from his tiredness.
"Show the achievements of the construction in the past 55 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, then you need to say!" The father was a little confused, not understanding why the eldest son was not answering his own questions well, and suddenly asked these things. He thinks that the most important thing now is how to shoot a good promotional video, as for what the purpose of CCTV is, he really doesn't have time!
Otherwise, people will become stubborn as soon as they drill the tip of the bull's horns, ignoring the obvious. I knew that I rushed forward with my head until my head broke and the blood flowed.
Meng Fanzhu ignored the impatience in his father's tone, and continued, "That's right, then the object of the display is only the people of our own country?"
"Huh?" Dad didn't react for a moment, and then he had a flash of inspiration and slapped his thigh. Yes, foreigners can see it.
"Good son, I understand! You mean that the dubbing of our promotional video is best done in two versions, one in Chinese and one in English, isn't it? Dad felt as if he had caught something, but when he thought about it, he couldn't grasp it for a while, and the feeling of itching and not scratching his heart was a little crazy for him. But there was excitement at all, and there was a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"Well, that's right, but it's not just about dubbing and subtitles, it's also about how to show and what to show to foreigners. Actually, I think it may be more meaningful to show foreigners, you think, our own people mainly play a role in boosting the waist and improving morale. But it's different for foreigners, it can not only let people who don't know our country understand the specific situation of each city, but also let some people with ill intentions put away those ghostly thoughts, right?" Although Meng Fanzhu asked a question, his tone was very affirmative.
"Well, so your commentary writes about the Chinese spirit, remembering history, and a new chapter. "Dad was completely excited. I was sick and rushed to the doctor just now, but I didn't expect my eldest son to really have the goods.
The mother, who had been watching the two communicate silently, hugged Meng Fanzhu and kissed her on the face: "Duoduo is awesome, I can think of so many questions." Turning his head to see that his father had also gotten rid of the tired state of his sad face, he laughed at him and said, "It's not as good as your son, who is as busy as a headless fly all day!"
Lele hugged Sanbao and watched the play on the side, covering his mouth and snickering.
Dad said "uh", he was choked and couldn't speak, and he thought hatefully: This bear child, I have to squeeze the things in his stomach in the future, look at Lao Tzu tired these days! Dad felt that he had been a little wronged by his hard work for a while, and he didn't feel that he had not told his family anything, and Meng Fanzhu didn't know what to help even if he wanted to.
However, Meng Fanzhu's guidance did let my father see the dawn, and my father took a deep breath and said happily: "I just thought the words were good just now, but after you said this, I realized the wonders of this commentary! ”
"Frame-by-frame shooting method," Meng Fanzhu said solemnly word by word.
This is a little bit of a hassle to explain, but it's easy to do, but it requires a lot of repetitive work.
In my dream, there is a shooting technique that is very popular, and that is the frame-by-frame shooting method. The picture we normally see on TV has 24 frames per second, that is, a 1-second shot is made up of 24 consecutive pictures in series. This shooting method is simply to use a fixed high-definition camera to take a picture at fixed intervals, such as 10 seconds or 1 minute, and then connect all the photos taken together in 24 basic units to achieve the purpose of compressing time. Then we can see the spectacular picture of the stars moving, the wind and clouds, and the flowers blooming.
This technology is much more advanced than the previous method of recording the entire videotape and then playing it back quickly, freeing itself from the limitation of the capacity of the videotape, and the effect is thousands of times better, and it is theoretically possible to shoot for as long as possible. There is a particularly famous documentary "Baraka" in the dream life, the Chinese name is "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", the entire 96-minute work has no commentary, pure picture connection, which uses a large number of frame-by-frame shots, not only does not make the audience feel bored, but shocks all viewers and receives the baptism of the soul.
Meng Fanzhu has not found anyone in the real world who has applied this technology, and it can be used in this promotional video.
It's already early August, and it's estimated that the promotional videos of other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are either finished or in the post-production, and the frame-by-frame shooting method proposed by himself is particularly easy to be imitated. As far as technology is concerned, it is a layer of window paper, and the old cameraman can understand the shooting technique even after looking at the lens. So shooting at this time now, it will not be copied by competitors, at least they don't have time to apply this method in this promotional video exhibition. When CCTV broadcasts, everyone knows that this method is thought out by Long Province, it is impossible not to let people use it, and this does not involve any patents.
Seeing his father's still somewhat confused eyes, Meng Fanzhu knew that his father's tired brain needed more reaction time and more detailed explanations than usual, so he took out a piece of paper from under the desk, planning to draw a few storyboards for his father.
I took the pen and gestured twice, sighed, and clicked on the system. I have a picture in my head, but unfortunately my hand doesn't listen to the call, I can't draw it, this feeling is especially like a teapot pouring dumplings, there are dumplings in my stomach, but I can't pour it out, it's too suffocating.
I found my painting skills and spent 200,000 yuan to buy four 'calligraphy books'. After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and bought another 10 copies, either he didn't do it, or he did his best if he wanted to do it! This is also the code of conduct that Meng Fanzhu formulated for himself based on the lessons of life in his dreams.
The expenditure of 700,000 talents has spent all the savings of the past few days at once.
It's distressing but it's not a pity!
I don't have to be pressured to have a lot of skills, not to mention that I have to test the water in the future as a director, how can I do it if I don't know how to paint!
In one breath, all fourteen 'books of calligraphy' were eaten, and a huge amount of information was once again filled into the mind. Meng Fanzhu has gradually fallen in love with this feeling of brain expansion. Quickly digest information about Chinese and Western painting schools, painting history, various techniques, composition, aesthetics, color science, etc.
The temperature of the head burned sharply, then quickly fell back.
In the eyes of the father, the eldest son's face turned red, and then returned to normal, thinking that the son might be embarrassed to say something. Of course, he has to be the master of his son, so he took the initiative to ask: "Duoduo, do you have any concerns?"
Hearing his father's words, Meng Fanzhu suddenly realized that he should have the capital to make huge profits in this matter, and that thing that he can't do with his current ability, it's not bad to start with the power of the TV station.
pretended to cough in embarrassment, and said according to his father's meaning: "If our promotional film wants to win now, it must be surprising." The frame-by-frame shooting method I proposed was developed by myself, and I also did test shooting, and the effect was very good, and I learned it as soon as I learned it, but I was a little reluctant to take it out and cheapen the TV station for nothing, so I needed to meet one condition. ”
Taking this opportunity, the pain that has been haunting my heart from my dream life to the real world may have subsided...
