China Entertainment Bright Era

Chapter 366 Graduation Performance

Bright Times Film and Television Company, "Hope" post-production office area.

In front of a computer, a special effects renderer sits on a chair and operates.

What is rendered in this computer is a special effects picture of a universe and a galaxy.

Dozens of nearby computers had the same picture of the universe and the galaxy, obviously rendering this special effect at the same time.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Wen Muye and others stood behind the chairs, either with their arms around each other, or with teacups in their hands, or with their hands stretched out on the backs of the chairs, all watching.

This is the last special effect of "Hope". If everything goes well, the post-production of "Hope" will be declared a success.

In the post-production special effects production process, importing the rendered images into the movie requires an analysis process.

When we use software to synthesize pictures or import pictures into movies, the operations on the software belong to the presentation layer operations. Technicians only need to be able to use the corresponding functions of the software. The final principle of picture synthesis or import is to use the software.

underlying logic.

As we all know, pictures are composed of pictures, and pictures are composed of pixels. Each pixel can be regarded as an element.

The underlying format of the counterpoint elements is different between special effects images and film images. If the performance of the software is insufficient, the analytical logic algorithm is not in place, or the technical staff's operating skills are insufficient.

When synthesizing or importing special effects pictures into a movie, the matching elements of the two pictures are not very consistent, and they will look like textures. This will often cause the film to have 50-cent special effects.

Under the eyes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the rendering of the special effects picture has been completed. The technician started to analyze the special effects picture with the mouse, and a percentage progress bar appeared on the screen.

On a computer next to it, a videographer from "Hope" was operating a film and television editing software, waiting for the special effects images on the other side to be imported.

When the progress bar on the technician's side is full, the cameraman immediately imports the special effects images from the shared document, and the percentage progress bar appears again.

When the progress bar is full, in the film and television screen, the camera mainly focuses on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, surrounded by green cloth.

Under the operation of the cameraman, the green cloth was cut out and replaced by empty darkness. Then the cameraman dragged the special effects image to cover the dark area, performing precise and subtle manipulations frame by frame.

Half an hour later, the picture centered around Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei was filled with darkness, replaced by the starry sky.

The videographer clicked play and fast-forwarded the video, and the video was smooth and free of lags.

"Done." The cameraman turned around and said.

"Yeah!!" Liu Yifei smiled happily, raised her hands and faced Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was also happy and raised his hands to give Liu Yifei a high-five.

The two high-fived Wen Muye, Liu Yi, Kong Sheng, Li Xue, and Wang Bowen respectively, each expressing their happiness that "Hope" was completed.

From the beginning of the science fiction story of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in December last year, it went through the script planning in January, the team building and setting up in February, the shooting in March, and the post-production from April to June.

It took 7 months to complete "Hope".

"Thank you all teachers." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei thanked the teachers. Although they were the providers of the story and the producers of "Hope", the smooth completion of the film was the result of everyone's joint efforts, and they deeply felt about this.

Take it for granted.

"Chu Xuan, Qianqian." Kong Sheng said: "If your science fiction plan is implemented, remember to call me. If nothing else, at least in terms of work experience in science fiction movies, we are the leader in the country."

"It's necessary. We will expand the team based on the original team when the time comes." Chu Xuan nodded. If his and Liu Yifei's science fiction plan is really going to be implemented, these experienced teachers in front of them will naturally be his and Liu Yifei's core team members.

preferred person.

After hearing what Chu Xuan said, all the teachers nodded slightly.

Even though "Hope" is a short film, they all learned a lot after several months.

If you learn something, you will gain something. They are naturally eager to gain more from the progress of their own artistic abilities.

They also have a rough idea of ​​Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's science fiction plan.

Such a huge plan also involves the industrial base, but with the resources and financial backing of Brilliant Era, they are very willing to participate, and they expect to learn more.

The cameraman took out the USB flash drive, Wen Muye took it and handed it to Chu Xuan: "Brother."

There is a complete video of "Hope" in the USB flash drive. Chu Xuan took it and said: "There must be a backup."

He handed the USB flash drive to Liu Yifei, who put the USB flash drive into her small backpack.

"Of course." Wen Muye nodded and said, "After we have someone from the company apply for copyright in the name of Bright Times Entertainment, senior brothers and sisters can submit the film to the school."

Bright Times Film and Television is mainly responsible for the production of film and television dramas, and the copyrights of film and television dramas are controlled by the parent company, Bright Times Entertainment.

The head office is firmly controlled by Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua. Whoever gets the copyright wins the world. They all understand this very well, so naturally they want to keep the copyright in their own hands.

"You have to come to the graduation show." Liu Yifei said, "You are the director, so you have to help us when you go on stage to speak."

After each graduation performance, the participants of the works must be questioned by the judges and teachers, which is equivalent to the graduation defense of other schools.

According to the rules, anyone who participated in the production, whether from Beijing Film Academy or not, can be invited to attend the graduation show.

"Brother Liu is coming too, you are the chief screenwriter." Chu Xuan said, grabbing Liu Yi's shoulder.

"Teacher Kong, Teacher Li, and Teacher Wang, you also want to come. This is our joint work." He added.

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

"See you later, teachers." Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's hand with one hand and waved to the teachers with the other.

The two parties say goodbye for now.

When passing by the post-production office area of ​​"Zhu Xian", Zhao Jian looked at the happy expressions on their faces. He sat on a chair and said gently: "Done?"

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded to Zhao Jian, Wu Qingyuan and Art Teacher Qi and made an "OK" gesture.

"Go first." They waved.

Under the watch of Zhao Jian and others, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had just walked out of the company door when they met Huang Lei coming from the direction of the elevator.

"Good guys, those two papers of yours caused a riot in the office." Huang Lei grinned, walked over, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and gave Chu Xuan a blow.

Thesis?...Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei blinked.

"Riot? Brother Lei, can you be normal?" Chu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.

"It is indeed well written." Huang Lei once again recognized the two people's papers and said: "The theories in it are experimental, forward-looking and practical. Do you really not consider taking the postgraduate entrance examination? Or you can just become a lecturer."

"If you don't take the test, it's inappropriate." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Huang Lei raised his eyebrows, patted Chu Xuan, and said, "Are you pretending to be cool and running away?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, nodded, and said: "It can be understood this way."

Liu Yifei held Chu Xuan with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, amused by their conversation.

Huang Lei suddenly stopped trying to persuade Chu Xuan and said, "Graduation star, get ready to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. This is the unanimous decision of the teachers."

Graduation star?...Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Okay."

"That's it, I'll go in and take a look at the situation of "Zhu Xian"." Huang Lei nodded slightly, patted Chu Xuan's shoulder again, said no more, walked past the two of them, and walked into the company.

"Graduation star." Liu Yifei followed Chu Xuan into the elevator and said to him playfully.

"But as I expected, not many people would be convinced if someone else was chosen as the graduation star." She added, expressing great recognition of her boyfriend's excellence.

"Don't say that, your boyfriend will swell." Chu Xuan pulled Liu Yifei out of the elevator, while Liu Xiaoli was waiting in the nanny car.

The two got in the car, but they didn't expect Sister Hua to be there.

The car started to go home and they sat down on the sofa.

Hearing Liu Yifei excitedly say that "Hope" has been completed, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua also gave them a thumbs up.

"The first film is finished, and we will see how it turns out next." Wang Jinhua said with some interest.

When they first established the film and television company, she and Chen Kaige also knew about Chu Xuan and Qian Qian's science fiction plan, and they tested the waters with micro-movies to see how the market responded.

This is a good idea to test the market with minimal cost.

It’s just that the follow-up plan is too big and I have no idea how to implement it.

Of course, it is too early to say this now, we will look at it later.

Liu Yifei also told Chu Xuan that he was the graduating star of this class, which caused Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua to praise Chu Xuan like a child.

Then, Wang Jinhua said: ""Struggle" has been completed. Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, Su Chang and Jiang Xin will star with you. The filming will start next month. You are ready."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and nodded.

They are very interested in acting in an urban drama that they have never acted together before. The most important thing is that acting in an urban drama is very easy and the important actors all know each other. I think the filming process will be very enjoyable, and they are also happy about it.

It's somewhat expected.

But before that, the graduation performance is the big event at the moment.

But now that "Hope" has been solved, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's worries that had been hanging around before have been mostly relieved.

On the next day, the copyright application and filing for "Hope" was successful, and it belonged to Bright Times Entertainment.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went to school immediately and handed over the videos on the USB flash drive to the teachers of the review team who specialize in reviewing graduation works as micro-films.

At this point, exams, graduation thesis, graduation works, and preliminary preparations for graduation are all completed.

There is no need for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to worry about the post-production of "Zhu Xian", and the next few days will be relatively easy for them.

I played around at home for a few days and didn't hear anything going on outside the window.

It wasn't until the graduation day came that they went out to school.

——Beiying.

Near the end of June, the weather has become increasingly hot.

It was 24 degrees this morning, and in the afternoon the temperature was expected to exceed 30 degrees.

Under such weather, Beijing Film Festival was particularly lively today.

Most of the 500 to 600 fresh graduates from the 2002 undergraduate and junior college classes have returned. There is a huge flow of people on campus, and they are walking among each other.

The most important thing is that Han Sanping, Chen Kaige, Tang Jili, Zhang Jizhong, including the chairman of Bright Times Wang Jinhua also came.

This surprised the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, and they watched excitedly.

When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to the school, they were also surprised by the sight of people everywhere. This was quite different from the usual situation where the school seemed to be vast and sparsely populated.

"Brother and sister!"

Many junior brothers and sisters said hello, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei waved in response.

"Senior brother and senior sister." Yang Mi waved her hand and trotted over, saying, "You are so proud. You can tell at a glance that Third Master and Director Kai Ge are here for you."

Chu Xuan held Liu Yifei's hand and walked side by side with Yang Mi, saying: "You're not here for us, you're here for our works."

"Isn't that different?" Yang Mi said, walking forward with Chu Xuan: "I heard that your graduation work is science fiction? It's a pity that we can't watch it."

"You will be able to see it when it is posted online." Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi nodded, glanced at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and said, "Brother and sister, I heard that you are going to film a drama this year?"

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei paused for a moment. Yang Mi's meaning couldn't be simpler. She probably wanted to get on their boat.

Chu Xuan glanced at Yang Mi and said: "Practice your acting skills. This year the company will launch a variety show. You can try it. If your performance is outstanding, you can still sign a film and television contract with Bright Times. I want to Rong Xinda

I will also be happy to do so.”

Yang Mi pursed her lips. Chu Xuan didn't give a direct answer, which was obviously a rejection of her idea of ​​taking a boat. After all, it was a drama between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Any supporting role could be popular.

"The Condor" has allowed her to taste some of the benefits of being popular, and she also won an award. If she can continue to join the crew with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, it will obviously be a wonderful thing.

However, although he was declined by Chu Xuan, he received news about a variety show in advance.

Variety show? Is it related to actors?... Yang Mi felt Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.

"Brother and sister, I understand, then I'll go to class first." She waved her hand and turned to leave.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei glanced at Yang Mi's leaving figure. Chu Xuan said, "She wants to have sex with her whenever she gets the chance."

Liu Yifei smoothed her hair, showed her face and said: "I pestered you when I was on the set of "The Condor"."

"What do you mean by pestering me?" Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "She is looking for an opportunity, she is quite scheming, and she is as generous as Zhao Liying."

"Liying?" Liu Yifei blinked and said, "Liying is very simple, okay."

"Innocent?" Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "Li Ying started working odd jobs when she was 16 years old, and has been working hard at the bottom for nearly two years. No matter what, she cannot be innocent. That is to say, we are her master and sister, and we are really good to her, so she is here

She has always been naive in front of us, if you want to regard her as innocent, you will lose."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Whether they are innocent or scheming, I will just deal with them in my own way, and do whatever makes me feel comfortable."

"Correct answer." Chu Xuan nodded and agreed.

Liu Yifei shook Chu Xuan's hand and expressed her inner joy.

She looked around and saw that there were people all around, and there were many junior brothers and sisters looking at them. She also guessed that some people were communicating in a targeted manner about their intimate gesture of holding hands.

She didn't take it seriously and said: "Where to go now? There is still an hour until the graduation performance."

"Go to the dormitory." Chu Xuan pulled her towards the dormitory building and said, "I haven't been there for a long time. Let's revisit the place where we first fell in love. I guess I won't come again in the future."

Hearing his words, Liu Yifei's memories suddenly came back and she said happily: "On National Day in 2003, we played in the dormitory for a week, and you gave me a copy of Jane Eyre."

Chu Xuan nodded and said: "It's all memories."

The boys' dormitory area has not changed, it still has the same layout, and it still has the same white door with rust in it.

I greeted the classmates who came out one by one, but the dormitory aunt saw me, and the aunt yelled: "Hey, you two, when are you going to get down to business?"

This aunt can say anything... Liu Yifei pursed her lips, a little embarrassed. She still remembered how she and Chu Xuan waited for an opportunity to escape from the dormitory building in order to avoid the aunt's eyes, and she found it very interesting.

Chu Xuan looked at his aunt and said, "Will you come and have a drink then?"

"Then you must come!" The aunt was very enthusiastic, which made the nearby classmates laugh.

Chu Xuan smiled and pulled Liu Yifei upstairs.

The familiar staircase and the familiar diamond-shaped white wall lattice windows have not changed much except that they are a little worn.

When he arrived at the dormitory door that he hadn't seen for a long time, the door was closed. Apparently someone had woken up. Chu Xuan guessed that he was washing up in the public toilet.

Chu Xuan first asked Liu Yifei to wait nearby. He kicked open the door, walked in, looked at Luo Jin and Huang Bo who were still in bed, and said: "Get up and put on your clothes, the fairy is coming."

Fairy?...Liu Yifei covered her mouth in joy.

Luo Jin and Huang Bo had already woken up. They were just lying on the bed looking at their mobile phones. When they heard someone calling at the door, they both looked over.

Seeing that it was Chu Xuan, Luo Jin joked: "Please change the place to show your affection. You are not welcome here."

Even though they said this, the two of them got up and dressed immediately.

Zhu Yawen walked over from the public toilet, holding a wash cup in his hand and a washcloth hanging on his shoulder. Looking at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei at the door of the dormitory, he said: "Boss Chu doesn't know how to bring breakfast when he returns to the dormitory."

He waved to Liu Yifei again and said hello, and Liu Yifei waved back in the same way.

"I know whether you have eaten or not? You didn't call in advance." Chu Xuan said and pulled Liu Yifei into the dormitory.

Luo Jin and Huang Bo went out to wash up. Zhu Yawen put away his things and went out to buy breakfast. The brothers made room for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in a tacit understanding.

"Only your bed is empty." Liu Yifei looked at the upper bunk on the right. There was only one bed board left, covered with a thick layer of dust. There was also a lot of dust on the table below.

"Otherwise, it's been a long time since we moved." Chu Xuan said.

Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan to the table and said, "We were eating noodles together here."

Chu Xuan nodded and said: "You lied to me and said that the express delivery was wrong, you witch."

Recalling the past events made Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing. The beautiful memories made her couldn't help but hold Chu Xuan's hand tightly, feeling the full love in it.

Reminiscing every bit of first love in the dormitory, when Zhu Yawen bought breakfast and finished it with Luo Jin and Huang Bo, the group set off to the multimedia classroom.

The graduation show is only for performance works, such as short films, stage plays, etc.

The stage play will be shown in the morning and the short film will be shown in the afternoon. There is no requirement to watch it, but most people will still arrive before graduation to participate in this performance for their fresh graduates.

Participating in it will make this graduation seem to have more meaning.

A group of people lined up and followed the flow of people into the large classroom, and sat down according to departments and classes.

Almost every student looked at the people sitting in the first row, Han Sanping, Chen Kaige, Zhang Jizhong, Tang Jili and Wang Jinhua. Their presence made the performance feel more grand.

Many people also know that these big shots probably came for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and more likely for their works.

To be able to take these people so seriously, the works of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei must be unique.

Of course, science fiction movies are unique in the current market.

Many students, teachers and school leaders also look forward to this.

After the dean and school leaders gave a speech, the performance started on time at nine o'clock in the morning.

As the actors came on stage, the people behind the scenes set up the scene, and the stage lights were turned on, the show officially kicked off.

Peking opera's Xipi, Erhuang double tune, and Yue opera's lyrical singing make people feel the charm of the quintessence of China, but they also make people drowsy.

At this time, Beijing Film Academy does not have a Peking Opera class or a Yue Opera class, they are all classified as opera classes.

The drama department is very diverse, including Peking Opera, Yue Opera, martial arts, dance, acrobatics, etc. Although there are many types, there are not many students, only a little more than the performance department.

If you want to say which department at Beijing Film Academy has the smallest number of students, it is definitely the acting department. In recent years, it has only admitted less than 50 students each year.

The Department of Drama has more students than the Department of Performance and Drama, and majors in drama, opera and dance drama.

When it came time for the students from the drama department to perform, the enthusiasm of the students present was obviously higher. Compared with the Peking Opera, which was incomprehensible, the drama was obviously easier to understand, and the strength of the actors' acting skills could be clearly distinguished, giving them a sense of participation.

.

"Lao Zhu and the others are here." Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan's arm and said, looking at the classmates who came on stage.

Chu Xuan nodded and looked at it with Liu Yifei.

The drama performed by Zhu Yawen and Jiang Yiyan is "Teahouse", which is a three-act drama composed of the Reform Movement of 1898, the Warlords' Melee and the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It is the well-deserved number one drama in China and has been hailed as "The Miracle on the Oriental Stage" abroad.

.

There is a time limit for the display of graduation works, and they chose an excerpt from one of them as the display of the work.

It is naturally difficult and challenging to use such a classic drama as a graduation work, but Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and Jiang Yiyan are not bad at their level, and their performances are lifelike.

"I see, the Qing Dynasty is about to end!" As a voice fell, the play came to an end.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei clapped with the students present and gave Zhu Yawen and others their praise on the stage.

Zhu Yawen's play was also the last show in the morning. After Zhu Yawen and others were reviewed and answered questions, the students got up and left, temporarily dismissed, and went to the school cafeteria to have lunch.

"Let's go eat." Chu Xuan pulled Liu Yifei to stand up.

"Our micro-film is the first show in the afternoon." Liu Yifei said, thinking that her work would be the first to be shown in the afternoon, she was both excited and nervous for no reason.

Chu Xuan also has some ideas. After all, it is science fiction that has never appeared before. It is up to them to decide whether it is good or not. He is also looking forward to seeing the reactions of the students and the evaluation of the teachers.
