Chapter 15 If you don't admit defeat, you won't lose
โcut๏ผ It's good, everyone take a break and shoot the last one. โ
Link walked out from behind the camera with a smile, today is the fifth day of filming, and it is also Friday of the week, and there is the last shooting, and the first three episodes have all been filmed.
"Thank you for your hard work, you performed very well, I am very satisfied."
Link smiled happily and said to Penny, Hilton, and Raj as they walked by.
The three of them looked at Link in a daze, at this time Link can be called unkempt, his eyes are bloodshot, and his face is surprisingly white. It's just that at this time, he is still smiling on his face, smiling so happily.
Mira stared at him blankly, and somehow a feeling of distress suddenly rose in her heart. is such a 21-year-old man, he is under pressure that ordinary people dare not imagine, and with an incomprehensible persistence, he puts all his jing energy into filming.
Mira's eyes turned a little red, and she turned her head slightly. Fool, why abuse yourself so much? Mira thought a little unbearably.
Jim Parsons said sincerely: "Director, you are the most persistent person I have ever met!" You will succeed, we believe in you. โ
Li Qi on the side also walked over, and he still couldn't believe it. I became an actor? And also participated in the filming of a series? Is it all true?
Looking at Link in front of him, he suddenly couldn't help but say, "Director, you will definitely succeed, we believe in you." โ
"Yes." Mira rubbed her eyes and looked at Link deeply, "We all believe in you." โ
"Thank you." A smile appeared on Link's pale face, "Thank you for your trust." โ
A few minutes later, in the basement of CAA TV, everyone present quietly looked at the thin figure, waiting for his order.
Link took a deep breath and looked around, everyone present could feel Link's unwavering gaze.
"Everyone, prepare! The last shot, action! โ
With Link's order, everyone gathered around, and they stood behind Link, all staring at the screen on the monitor.
Everyone became excited at this time, and this unprovoked excitement made the whole scene audible, and only the performances and conversations of a few people on the small stage remained.
Link's whole body trembled, he felt his blood burn, and every inch of his skin trembled slightly.
When 'Penny', 'Sheldon', 'Raj', 'Leonard' and 'Howard' finished performing, Link was still trembling slightly.
It wasn't until he heard the reminder from Carl, the photographer next to him, that Link woke up and found that everyone was looking at him.
Link also looked at the people on stage.
Johnny and Simon have complicated eyes.
Mira's beautiful face was already full of tears, but she was still smiling.
Jim Parsons cast a determined gaze.
Li Qi also smiled happily.
Link slowly stood up, his voice very low: "C...... cut๏ผ โ
Until a 'cut' sounded, everyone screamed excitedly, they hugged each other, and some even cried bitterly.
Eventually, all eyes were on Link again. When there was applause, everyone silently began to clap their palms.
Thunderous applause!
Link couldn't stop the tears in his eyes any longer, and tears welled up in his eyes!
"Thank you! Thank you! โ
Bow in all directions! Link bowed deeply to everyone in every direction.
"Thank you all for your trust and companionship." Link straightened up, looked at everyone and said, "It's only five days, but it's been a tiring five days. I know that everybody is tired, and so am I. โ
Link wiped his red eyes and showed a big smile: "But life is like this, if I don't struggle, I'll be trapped to death." When I die, someone will be sad, but more will be happy. In order not to make the people who care about me sad, in order not to make the people who hate me happy. So, I can't throw in the towel yet! As long as I don't admit defeat, I still have hope of success! โ
Link suddenly took a deep breath, the urge in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he shouted loudly.
"No one can make me fail, not even myself! I can't beat me myself, who else can? โ
"You're the best!" Mira on the stage burst into tears and shouted excitedly.
Then everyone started shouting.
"You're the best!"
"You're the best!"
โฆโฆ
Jim Parsons also shouted at the top of his voice, and Richie stared blankly at everyone, he had lived on the mainland since he was a child, and he thought that life was like this, and it was useless to fight. However, he only realized today that he was wrong.
"It turns out that as long as you don't admit defeat, you won't lose!"
Li Qi smiled, and smiled happily. Finally, he also began to shout at the top of his voice: "Director, you are the best!" โ
Five days, three episodes.
Although the filming of three episodes has come to an end, this is just the beginning, and tonight's broadcast at eight o'clock is the most important thing.
Link locked himself in the editing room, and he didn't ask anyone to help, but took the knife himself.
A good director is more than just shooting according to the script. If that's the case, the cameraman can do it himself, so why do you need a director?
The editing and processing in post-production is a meticulous work, not only the transformation of the lens and the dimming of the sรจ, but also related to the director's entire thinking.
This is his first episode, so Link takes it very seriously and doesn't want to have a problem at any point.
The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom with a net length of 43 minutes per episode. Unlike drama-based American dramas, each episode of a sitcom is a complete story, unlike drama-based American dramas, which place as much emphasis on narrative techniques and suspense arrangements.
As Link said, as a sitcom, as long as it is funny, there is no need to dwell on the narrative. We're telling jokes, not stories.
Link sat in front of the computer, holding the mouse and sliding on the editing software, and from time to time there were shots in the video and audio tracks that were culled, and then merged the desired shots together.
It took two hours of events for Link to finish editing the first episode of The Big Bang Theory.
After watching it back and forth several times, until he was absolutely satisfied, Link sent the edited first episode to the content department.
When he left his hands on the keyboard and mouse, Link let out a long sigh of relief.
"Everything depends on the eight o'clock broadcast tonight!"
Link leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head. My mind is thinking about everything that happened during this time.
The blow when my father died, the pain after knowing that 911 was going to happen, the joy of CAA's successful transformation from a Chinese TV station, and the sadness when questioned, plus the hard work of filming "The Big Bang Theory" during this time.
Everything, everything!
When all of this was going through Link's mind, Link got up and walked out.
Fat Jack outside the door had been waiting for a long time, but Link had said that he didn't want anyone to disturb him, so he didn't rush in.
"How's it going?"
Link asked casually as he walked.
"We didn't have any promotional input, so no advertisers were interested in our 'The Big Bang Theory.'"
Fat Jack is a little decadent.
Link was silent.
"And ...... Ratings are falling fast. Even Linda's ace show is currently down by a third of its ratings. โ
Link still didn't say anything, and glanced up at the time on the wall, it was not long before eight o'clock in the evening.
"You've worked hard these days, so you should get off work early after you arrange your work."
After Link, he walked out of CAA TV, he had already made an appointment with Mira, Jim, Richie and others to watch the premiere of "The Big Bang Theory" tonight.
It's all up to tonight.
