In the early morning, the June days are already starting to heat up, and the cicadas outside the window seem to be a strong proof of this. In a southern city like Funan, if you just stay up all night, your face is usually full of oil, and it has nothing to do with whether you turn on the air conditioner or not.

At six o'clock in the morning, in Ye Shenxi's office, he was fine, and Rao Bin, who was operating video editing software next to him, was really "oily-headed", looking a little like a refugee.

If you want to put it in ancient times, you can directly drag it out and cut it if you lose your manners.

"You go wash your face first." Ye Shenxi also couldn't bear to say.

"No...... No. Rao Bin hurriedly shook his head, his hands did not stop, and his eyes were staring intently at the screen.

"You and I are polite to you, go together, I myself am uncomfortable, and it is even more uncomfortable to see your current state." Ye Shenxi stood up first, stretched his waist, and crackled.

"Oh......" Rao Bin still saved it first, this is a good work habit, no matter what software is operated.

Ye Shenxi took out two new towels from the locker in the corner of the office, as well as toothpaste and toothbrush...... It's hard to imagine such a thing in the office of a company boss of this level...... He is the boss and the producer, and it is common to do this business all night, in addition to these toiletries, there are blankets, pillows, eye masks, earplugs in the cabinet, and as for the folding bed, I didn't need it, when I moved here, I chose a sofa that was atmospheric and easy to sleep.

There are still three days left before going to Los Angeles, and Ye Shenxi left Rao Bin behind yesterday. He learned the theoretical knowledge of lens use editing, but the operation of editing software is really entry-level, and the efficiency is extremely low.

And Rao Bin is indeed versatile, usually he has nothing to do and also cuts some video clips by himself, in addition to the staff of Qingyu Network, copywriting planning, he also has an identity that is quite famous and popular on the UP master of Youku, and he has also been updating a series of videos of "Eternal War", the technology is average, but because of the excellent production, it has received praise from some players.

At first, he hid this from the company, for fear that the leader would say that the workload was still not saturated, and later he leaked it in the company group...... Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu would care about him like this, and casually encouraged him.

At that time, Rao Bin also vowed that he would never make videos of other companies' games.

Ye Shenxi said that you think too much.

In general, Rao Bin is not very professional, but it is enough for this trailer. In terms of video editing, the operation of the software is not the core, as long as any software operation is used a lot, you will be proficient, and the more important thing is the design level.

Moreover, this film is not long, less than 4 minutes, except for the logos of several companies, engines, and studios, almost all of the content is handed over to the graphics and lens language in the game to show. There are no dialogues and subtitles, and there are no messy video effects.

This is not a release trailer, but an initial promotion, technical demonstration, and world view introduction, so there is no need to send it to the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) for review, and there will be no rating logo at the beginning of the film.

In the past few days, after the materials including the captured action shots, music and sound effects have been quickly whipped up and prepared non-stop, they have entered the production process of the film, that is, Ye Shenxi is "pointing fingers" on the side, and Rao Bin is immersed in work.

The two walked into the bathroom, and Ye Shenxi poured a handful of cold water on his face, which was very comfortable......

"You don't go home at night, Tong Ling doesn't have any opinions, right?" Ye Shenxi just asked casually.

"No, hey, she knows I'm working overtime at the company...... With you, I'm very relieved......" Rao Bin paused in the middle of speaking.

"Let's live together." Ye Shenxi said lightly.

"Uh...... Hmm......" Rao Bin was apprehensive on the surface, but Ye Shenxi could naturally see the little pride at the depth.

"Not bad." Then by the way, it's okay to boast.

Rao Bin really had a "where, where" expression: "Besides, we've been better for more than a year, isn't that normal, you're amazing, and Mr. Xia didn't ...... on the first day"

"Huh?"

"It's not...... Mr. Ye, this film is really amazing, I can be sure that those foreigners have never seen anything like this, and they will definitely calm the audience......"

Ye Shenxi didn't bother to bother with him, and followed the topic he transferred: "I always feel that something is missing." ”

"Very good...... I think it's perfect, it's technical, it's about atmosphere, it's suspenseful, and if it's not for the script I wrote, I want to ask what kind of world it is. Rao Bin said seriously.

"I didn't say that, I just don't think the music is so compatible."

The background music of this trailer is an original music of 3 minutes and 47 seconds specially produced by a soundtrack studio called [Qin Jian].

Listening to the name of this studio, you know that their areas of expertise are ancient costumes, martial arts and fairy tales.

Originally, I also found Wanwan's Muse Music Studio, for gamers, their most prestigious member is called Luo Jiyi, and the most familiar ones are the songs in the "Sword and Fairy" series, "Back to Sleepwalking Immortals" and "Royal Sword Jianghu...... At last year's Golden Horse Awards in Wanwan, Luo Jiyi also won the Best Original Film Music Award for his performance in the movie "Cape No. 7".

But the time given by the herring network is too short, and Muse actually wants to cooperate with such a giant company, but he doesn't dare to ...... After a few songs in the studio's spare music library were vetoed by the Qingyu Network, only a new one could be written, but under the requirements of such a rigid creative time, the quality must be guaranteed, and it is expected that the mess will destroy the relationship, so it is better not to take it directly, politely saying that it is difficult, and looking forward to the next cooperation.

So Qingyu Network could only settle for the next best thing and find another [Qinjian], they have also made original music for many domestic costume movies and TV series, but the song "Rowing Boat" that was given in the end was a little far from the effect that Ye Shenxi wanted.

"What's the matter?" Rao Bin didn't understand it very well, he felt that this song was okay.

Originally, Ye Shenxi was the same, but after the short film was slowly cut out, the music track was inserted and played together, and I felt the gap between it and the pure listening to the music.

This is a more uncomfortable place, sometimes Ye Shenxi even wants to adjust the content of the picture because of the music, it is a bit like having a song first and then shooting a MV, but he still gave up this idea.

There will always be such problems with outsourced things, and they are not as flexible as their own internal communication.

To put it bluntly, the first is that the atmosphere doesn't match well, but this is really difficult for others [Qin Jian], they can't see the short film when they do it, they can only make up for it according to the description of the text, and the feedback they get in the process of several deliveries is also such as [At the beginning of the second paragraph, I hope it can be more warm.] Imagine the warmth of the protagonist when he sees his old friends and relatives...... Can people have that feeling of tears holding in their hands and not falling? 】

Or [From the 3rd minute, can you add some suspense color...... and [Can you increase it a little...... Well, tension! 】

The group of employees of Qingyu Network, under the leadership of the two bosses, are the kind of Party A that is more difficult to deal with. The herring network has always been refreshing in terms of money, and the quality requirements are inversely proportional.

"Can't you really watch the film first and then compose the music......" The people in their studio were about to cry.

"I can't help it...... Only text descriptions, scenes, and characters can be provided. Rao Bin could only answer like this when he communicated.

There are five editions in the middle, and if it weren't for the fact that time was too short, it would definitely be a double-digit version.

Party A can do whatever it wants.

Even so, this "Rowing Boat" still did its best to do it, which can only be said to be imperfect...... It is also Ye Shenxi's requirements that are a bit harsh.

The second is that he feels that he is a little too professional and not down-to-earth enough.

"Do you remember what we said at the beginning?" Ye Shenxi asked Rao Bin.

"You mean...... In line with the popular aesthetic? Rao Bin understood what Ye Shenxi meant.

There are some classical things that our own young people can't accept, how can we have the luxury of foreigners liking?

Like a pipa solo in the middle of this song, the silver bottle bursts through the water slurry, and the iron rider highlights the feeling of swords and guns, which is a bit of the taste of the ancient song "Ambush on All Sides", but it makes Ye Shenxi's scalp a little numb.

Take 10,000 steps back and talk about the group of people on E3 who may find it novel, interesting, and ingenious, but it will not be popular in their world, and they will not say on social software that I listened to a song, which is really good. Then share it with friends and spread it widely.

He himself doesn't understand the music profession, and can only distinguish from the perspective of an ordinary listener, whether it sounds good or not, that's it. The types are secondary, whether it is shocking, whether it is melodious, whether it is sentimental, whether it is explosive, whether it is explosive, it must be based on a premise, the melody is ear-catching.

On this basis, how about artistic expression?

"That'...... What to do? Looking for a ready-made one? Get the authorization done as soon as possible? Rao Bin asked.

"It's not a bad plan, if you can't find it, you can only use it." Ye Shen Creek Road.

"Are you hungry?"

"Okay."

"Then let's go out for breakfast later, and work harder."

"Okay."

……

Back at the office, the cleaning aunt had already come to clean the office in advance, she came to the office two and a half hours early, and would tidy up the office before the first wave of employees arrived. It's a little strange to see Rao Bin, but Ye Shenxi hasn't stayed here all night for a long time.

I was scared when I met Ye Shenxi and nodded hello to her before, but now it's not much better.

"I don't have to clean here." Ye Shenxi said.

"Good, good ......"

Closing the office door, Rao Bin continued to piece together according to the editing that Ye Shenxi said, Ye Shenxi opened his work notebook, and there was an avatar flashing on the chat software.

This is the group of the crew of the graduation work of the film and television academy advanced class, created by Li Rong, in order to facilitate the exchange of collision ideas among the main creative members, several main creative members of this team, including Ye Shenxi, are in it, and Murong, she is the music director of the graduation work......

The other two little girls Feng Juan and Ma Shengwei were also in it, and they had a good relationship with Li Rong during the filming, Li Rong told them that if they graduated, they could come to Huayi to try, and the two smiled happily and regarded Sister Rong as a noble person in their lives.

Li Rong didn't say this to Murong, naturally with her family background, she didn't need to help herself with things at work.

That short film has now been completed and has entered the post-production stage, and it is also the time when he is busy, Ye Shenxi has no choice but to participate remotely.

The new news was sent by Murong, and she has recorded the theme song of her graduation work.

In the past few days, Ye Shenxi has been obsessed with the E3 version of each group, and he didn't care much about school matters, and when he saw the audio file posted by Murong in the group, he replied: "You did it alone?" ”

Murong replied briefly: "My major." ”

This girl is actually here.

"You woke up so early?" Murong was even more surprised that Ye Shenxi was actually there. Maybe she has the impression that this kind of person who is absent from school every once in a while, and who is often absent from the crew in meetings, should be lazy and lazy, not someone who gets up at this point.

"I haven't slept yet, there's an exhibition soon, and I have to prepare something. Post-audio processing, is it all done by one person? ”

"If it's a mainstream instrument, I won't, not much." This sentence is a bit domineering.

Murong typed again: "We also need to learn digital media technology, simultaneous recording, sound editing and synthesis, equalization, compression, reverberation processing, effect production, foley, mixing, as well as microphones, workstations and other equipment system environments." ”

"Okay, stop, stop, I understand, it's related to sound, you don't know." Ye Shen Creek Road.

"What kind of show are you attending?" Murong asked.

These two ...... It's really possible to talk about two topics in one conversation......

"Have you heard of E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo?" Ye Shenxi typed and sent it, and then downloaded the file named "3" from the group file and started to play it.

"Haven't heard of it. Is it important? More important than academics? ”

"It's important, you...... What is the instrument of the first section? I can't hear it. Ye Shenxi just finished listening to the first paragraph, and asked directly.

"It's Xun, the prelude I made with Xun. In the United States, that means you have to be absent for another ten days and half a month? ”

This prelude directly gave Ye Shenxi a deep, mournful, and endless feeling. It is the so-called "its voice is turbid and noisy, and the sound is sad and quiet".

The timbre of this instrument seems to have a strange charm, and the tune played by Murong is also calm, and it does not deliberately create a sad atmosphere, but makes people feel willing to quietly listen to her tell a story with content and a past with experience.

Ye Shenxi didn't return to Murong's question, and continued to listen to this song.

After this prelude, it turned into a mysterious timbre, and this Ye Shenxi couldn't hear it: "What's next?" What musical instrument? Very ethereal one. ”

"It's an electronic synthesized sound. You should always come back to the graduation exhibition and take graduation photos. ”

Ye Shenxi didn't know how many bars, eight beats or anything like that, so he didn't ask anymore, just listened to this piece carefully. After another while, at the end of that mysterious and ethereal section, as if passing through a deep and narrow mountain col, and then there was a burst of light in front of it, and after a few more steps, out of the canyon, in front of which was suddenly clear, a plain in the heart of the valley.

It is as if a door has been opened, the plains, rice fields, waterfalls, waterwheels are all in front of you, and the fields are strange, this sudden change gives the sound a real feeling, and even the temperature, a kind of leisurely life in a dream, the kind that you are willing to let time stop.

When you return from the hunt, your wife happens to be serving hot dishes, and a pair of children come running to you to tell you what they have happened today.

It's like you've been living here, this is where you belong, and you're here for the rest of your life.

……

After a while, this peaceful life is not suddenly broken, but it seems that you have faintly discovered some doubts, and you begin to suspect that all this is not true.

And then while moving on with life, I started to look for answers again.

You always feel like time flies by and there are fewer memories.

Something that seems to be an illusion begins to appear, and some people pass by in front of you.

You feel like you've seen them somewhere before, as if there's some impression in the back of your mind that they're looking at you and smiling, but don't say a word, and quickly leave again.

Your doubts are getting deeper, and the sense of unreality is getting heavier.

You shake your head, and at last you set out on your way to find the truth, and you head to the farthest mountain you can see in this canyon, and you want to see what is on that side of the mountain.

You walk for a long time, light a campfire on the way, lie down under a tree and fall asleep, only to wake up and find yourself back home.

A pair of children have grown into teenagers and girls, ten years have passed, but you don't know where these ten years have been, why you don't have any impression at all.

You still choose to walk towards the end of the mountain, and it's the same, many years pass each time, and you don't remember what happened in between.

In the end, you didn't choose to go again.

But the reason is not that you have given up.

Because you've got the answer.

……

This is what Ye Shenxi thought of when he listened to this song.

Maybe...... It's also because he's been thinking about something like this lately, and it just happens to match this tune.

But there is one thing, this song itself is much better than the song "Rowing Boat".

"To sell or not to sell?"

After the music ended, Ye Shenxi typed these words in the group for the first time.
