Chapter 27: Apprenticeship
Worried that Yi Yao and the others would have problems in the future, Li Xiang simply found a benchmarking video and explained it to Yi Yao and Zhang Bin.
"For videos like yours that don't have characters, the requirements for video material are actually not high, so it shouldn't be a problem to shoot in a studio that I have set up. The key is how to present a complete video, and this is the most important thing. You look at this video, although it has characters appearing, but the purpose is still to show the product, so a lot of transition effects are used in the video, and the end of each transition leaves the center of the composition to the advantages of the product they want to show, and with the appropriate background music, the whole is very complete. ”
Zhang Bin is a fresh graduate and has no work experience, although Li Xiang doesn't say much, it still makes him feel a little stunned.
Li Xiang continued: "The most important thing about a good video is its rhythm, which can be reflected in the rhythm of the video, such as transitions, camera switches, and alternating between far and near shots. And most importantly...... Background music. Whether it's transitioning, switching, alternating between far and near scenes, the rhythm of the music and the video can be well connected, and that's a good video. ”
……
Li Xiang said a lot, most of them were professional knowledge, and he could only express it in words that Zhang Bin and Yi Yao could understand as much as possible.
By the time he was almost done, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, and it was time to eat.
Although Qin Mo has been working hard, she can see that this person named Li Xiang is a skilled person, and before a few people finished chatting, she had already gone out to buy food and came back.
Crayfish, called flower chicken, grilled elbow and a few greens.
Seeing Qin Mo carrying back a large number of meals in small bags, Yi Yao looked surprised: "You robbed the restaurant?" ”
Qin Mo ignored her and put the food in front of Li Xiang: "It's not for you to eat, what so much nonsense." This handsome guy, are you interested in coming to our company? ”
As soon as Qin Mo said this, Yi Yao and Li Xiang both laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Mo was baffled by the two.
Yi Yao then explained: "Do you know where Li wants to work? Yunchuang. Why, you still want to poach people from your own uncle? ”
Qin Mo rolled his eyes: "I thought it was a big deal." ”
During the meal, Zhang Bin kept chatting with Li Xiang, as the saying goes, an editor who can't write a screenplay is not a good camera, and Zhang Bin can be regarded as an acquaintance today.
Li Xiang is a videographer, but he didn't expect that he has great insights into editing and video scripts, which are obviously fresher and more attractive than the professional knowledge he learned in school.
Li Xiang has been pestered by Zhang Bin, and he also said a lot of problems in shooting.
For example, photographers have to read the script before shooting, although Yi Yao's video with goods does not need to be specially scripted, but the photographer must have his own picture before shooting, and you have the final video effect in your head, so that you can know how to shoot, how to cut, and the integrity of the video can be higher.
For example, color grading, the overall tone of a video is integrated with the actor's mood, environment, and theme of the video. Blindly pursuing video special effects will only make the video messy and soulless. Good cinematographers usually don't show off their skills, they think more about how to suppress unrealistic ideas.
Halfway through the meal, Zhang Bin suddenly said, "Brother Li, I'll worship you as a teacher." ”
Li Xiang can't be rectified in one sentence, he is also a somewhat famous photographer, how can he accept apprentices so easily. Moreover, in the photographer's business, it is too common for church apprentices to starve their masters to death.
Yi Yao knew that Zhang Bin was conquered by Li Xiang, and said with a smile: "Then you have to knock one." ”
Qin Mo pursed his lips, "Yi Yao, what age is this still kowtowing, I think you are the remnant of feudal thought, it's the 21st century." ”
Yi Yao did not show weakness: "What do you know, is this called etiquette inheritance." ”
……
In the afternoon, in order to let Zhang Bin master it as soon as possible, Li Xiang personally went into battle to shoot a few video materials, and guided Zhang Bin to complete the final editing throughout the process.
Zhang Bin sighed: "I finally know why they say that society is the best university, I have studied editing for four years, and Brother Li's two videos are all summarized." You'd better take me. ”
Yi Yao and Qin Mo were embraced, and Li Xiang really accepted this apprentice.
The video problem has finally been solved.
Although Zhang Bin's shooting technique is still a little green, it can't be compared with Li Xiang, but after all, they don't have high requirements for video, and Yi Yao is also satisfied with this effect.
The problem is back to the streamer.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yunchuang's people called Li Xiang and had a tricky video to shoot, and Li Xiang had no choice but to go back.
Watching Zhang Bin keep fiddling with the lights in the studio, editing back and forth, re-editing, re-editing, and re-re-filling the lens, Yi Yao felt relieved for Zhang Bin for a while.
can treat what you love as a job, not everyone can have such a good situation.
In the afternoon, Zhang Bin unconsciously came up with six videos, Yi Yao watched the whole process and occasionally gave Zhang Bin a hand, after the film came out, not to mention that Yi Yao even watched Qin Mo and said: "You kid can, you progress so fast in a day." ”
"That's thanks to the master, the master taught well."
At six o'clock in the evening, when it was time to get off work, watching the sky sink, Yi Yao's mood also sank.
"What's the matter, don't you leave?" Qin Mo rarely took the initiative to talk to Yi Yao.
"The old couple is divorced, and I'm wondering if I want to go back." Yi Yao didn't hide it either.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Mo got into the car directly and skillfully opened the co-pilot's door.
Zhang Bin hasn't gotten off work yet, and said that he wants to finish the last film before leaving. Shen Man went out and bought her a cup of milk tea, brought some snacks with him, and told him not to be too busy, don't forget to lock the door when he left, and got into Qin Mo's car.
Qin Mo took Yi Yao to the gate of Beijing Performing Arts College, where they had been distributing leaflets.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Yi Yao was a little puzzled.
Qin Mo pointed to a stall next to him: "The skewers here are good, let's have some drinks today." ”
Without waiting for Yi Yao to react, he was already dragged into the stall by Qin Mo.
Edamame peanut mutton skewers, oyster scallops, Wangjing loin, spicy crayfish, Qin Mo ordered a large table of dishes, and brought a bucket of ten-pound draft beer over.
"What are you doing here? I'm not going to give up my life to accompany the villain? Yi Yao felt furious when he saw the ten-pound draft beer, what is the situation with this girl?
Qin Mo didn't listen to Yi Yao's ramblings, took the cup and took two large cups of draft beer, and drank half a cup without waiting for Yi Yao to speak.
"Drink, I'm afraid I won't be able to poison it?"
Yi Yao was a little confused, he was still fighting with himself a while ago, why did he seem to be a different person now?
Although she saw that Qin Mo was a little abnormal, she didn't care too much, at her age, it was a comfort that someone could accompany you to get drunk when she was depressed.
Halfway through eating, Qin Mo pointed to the proprietress on the stall and said to Yi Yao, "Do you know who the proprietress is?" ”
Yi Yao shook his head: "How do I know?" ”
Qin Mo smiled: "Lao Zhang's old lover." ”
"Uncle Zhang?" Yi Yao looked at the proprietress carefully, looking a little incredible. Although the proprietress is in her forties, it can be seen that her figure and appearance belong to a very outstanding category, and she must have been a big beauty when she was young.
Qin Mo said while drinking: "Lao Zhang had a relationship with the proprietress when he was young, Lao Zhang's family was poor, his parents died early, and there were no relatives at home. The proprietress did not agree to be together, and later, a businessman in the village fell in love with the proprietress and proposed marriage. At that time, Lao Zhang was also very entangled, and eloped with the old gang, he didn't have the guts, and her family didn't agree to get married. After tossing like this for more than half a year, Lao Zhang finally broke up with the proprietress, and the proprietress finally married the two who were good at business. ”
"Why did Uncle Zhang suddenly break up?" Yi Yao was fascinated by what he heard, and asked unconsciously.
Qin Mo said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, stupid, felt that he didn't have any money and couldn't give the boss a good life, so he took the initiative to quit." ”
Yi Yao pointed to the proprietress and said, "Then why did she set up a stall?" ”
Qin Mo: "Within a few years of getting married, the business was lost, and the two sold their ancestral house and moved out of the Heiquan community to rent a stall in Changping to make a living. ”
Although the story sounds bland, Yi Yao's feelings are still very deep. He knew that Lao Zhang had never been married, and now that he knew this, of course she guessed that Uncle Zhang had not looked for his other half because he regretted what happened back then.
Maybe it's self-blame, neither being able to be with the person you love, but also failing to let the person you love live a good life.
Qin Mo sighed with emotion: "People are like this, they don't know how to cherish when they are together, and when they end up with nothing, they will regret it for the rest of their lives." You say it's ridiculous, it's not ridiculous. ”
Chatting while drinking, unconsciously both of them drank too much.
In the end, the two of them couldn't stand still, and sat together and hooked their shoulders and called each other, which seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
At twelve o'clock, Chen Lu felt that something was wrong as soon as he got home, and he always felt that someone was following him. She quickly went upstairs and locked the door, so that she dared to look out through the cat's eye.
This time, Chen Lu saw it clearly, and sure enough, it was the man who was following him, he came up the stairs, stayed at the door for a while, and finally walked upstairs. It seems that he doesn't know the specific room where Chen Lu lives now, but he has found the community.
Chen Lu was so frightened that she quickly found her mobile phone and called Yi Yao.
"Hey, who's that?"
Listening to Yi Yao's voice, Chen Lu knew that Yi Yao had drunk, and asked in a panicked tone, "Yi Yao, where are you?" ”
drank too much, Yi Yao couldn't speak a little: "I...... I'm drinking with Qin Mo. ”
Hearing that Yi Yao was drinking with Qin Mo, Chen Lu suddenly hung up the phone.
In the past, Yi Yao was looking for her when he had something on his mind, but now Yi Yao can also tell others about his thoughts?
