Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Since her daughter lives at her grandma's house, Yu Dongqing has no worries and seizes the time to complete the post-production of the film.

Early the next morning, Yu Dongqing drove to Qisheshu Creative Park after breakfast.

Today there was a whistling north wind and the weather was extremely cold. Yu Dongqing stopped the car. As soon as he got out of the car, a cold wind rushed into his neck. It was so cold that he quickly put on the hat of his down jacket.

Yu Dongqing rented two rooms for a temporary office in the Creative Park. As soon as he walked to the front of the building, he saw a tall girl wearing a white down jacket. The red scarf around her neck was particularly eye-catching.

"Brother-in-law."

The girl called out.

It's bright.

Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"It's such a cold day, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to sleep in?"

Did he know that this sister-in-law likes to sleep in?

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I get up early every morning to take Tongtong to school."

Are you diligent?

"Go back, don't catch a cold." Yu Dongqing said again.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here to help you with post-editing, not to help, but to learn! Learn post-editing from you!" Meiliang said with a smile.

This posture is low.

But Yu Dongqing really needs an assistant, and Meiliang is very good.

"Then let's go."

The two of them walked upstairs together.

The room was cold, and Yu Dongqing didn't care about waiting for warmth. He turned on the computer and started busy, and soon he was immersed in work.

"Brother-in-law, drink tea."

Yu Dongqing turned around and saw Mingliang bringing a cup of steaming tea.

Yes, Not Bad.

It is indeed a pleasure to drink hot tea on a cold day.

"Brother-in-law, what should I do?" Mingliang asked.

Yu Dongqing thought for a while; "You have also read the script, so let's do a rough cut first."

"OK!"

Meili opened another computer next to her and got busy.

At this time, the door opened again, and a man's voice was heard:

"Ouch. Holly, you came so early? Damn it! The wind is so damn strong!"

It was Li Wan who came.

He was just about to say something when he suddenly noticed a girl sitting in front of the computer next to him. He was stunned before saying, "Director Ming? Are you here too?"

Meili turned around and said with a smile: "I'm here to help my brother-in-law. You should call me Meili."

"Aren't you studying in the UK? Are you on vacation?" Li Wan said with a smile.

"Well, it's Christmas vacation."

The two of them are filming "You Are Young", one is the director and the other is the producer. They have known each other for several months and are old acquaintances.

"Oh, Mingliang, you came back in time. You are a top student at the London Film Academy. It's great to have your help. It greatly reduces Dongqing's workload. Dongqing, you have to thank your sister-in-law."

"Let's work." Yu Dongqing replied.

Why does Li Wan talk so much today?

The three of them got busy.

The post-editing of a movie is usually left to professional editors, and the director will also maintain close communication with the editor during fine editing.

However, there are also directors who know how to edit themselves, and sometimes you will hear the emergence of "director's cut".

This type of film has high requirements on the director, but the advantage is that it can accurately perform what the director wants to express, which is what Yu Dongqing plans to do.

I was busy from morning to night, ordering takeout in the middle, and spent almost the whole day in the office. It lasted for a whole week.

Meili came here every day and got off work with Yu Dongqing in the evening without any regrets.

"We will try to complete the editing today. I estimate that we will have to work overtime at night, so we can start mixing and color grading tomorrow." Yu Dongqing looked at the screen and said to Meili without looking back.

"Okay, brother-in-law."

Li Wan sometimes comes over during the day and goes home after get off work. Anyway, he doesn't know much about technology and it's okay to stay here.

At night, everything in Qishkeshu Creative Park was completely silent, and the lights in various office buildings began to go out one by one. However, Yu Dongqing's office was still brightly lit until around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. He looked at the last picture and rubbed his eyes. He rubbed his sore eyes.

Finally done!

Turning her head, Meiliang looked at the screen with a look of joy on her face.

"Let's get off work!" Yu Dongqing greeted, turned off the computer and left the office.

"Brother-in-law, I'm hungry."

"I'm a little hungry too. Come on, let's go have a late night snack."

There is a restaurant in Qike Creative Park itself, and the sampling is very late. It is mainly prepared for those people who often work overtime until late at night.

Yu Dongqing and Mingliang went over, and sure enough, the door was open and there were diners inside. Each of them wanted a bowl of wontons and ate slowly.

"Brother-in-law, I found that your editing technique is very special." Meiliang said while eating.

"Special? What's so special? I just use a lot of montage techniques, especially narrative montage and expressive montage." Yu Dongqing said.

Meili was a little surprised when she heard this. "Montage is also divided into narrative and performance?"

This time it was Yu Dongqing's turn to be surprised: "What? You didn't teach it in college?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you. Brother-in-law, please tell me."

You really didn’t say it?

Could it be that the shooting theory of this time and space is the same as music and not as good as the original time and space?

But Yu Dongqing didn't think much and started talking.

"Montage is divided into three most basic types: narrative montage, expressive montage, and rational montage. The first is a narrative method, and the latter two are mainly used to express ideas."

Yu Dongqing talked about this for half an hour.

Meili listened very seriously and even forgot to eat wontons.

"Okay, eat quickly, the wontons are already cold." Yu Dongqing reminded.

Meili hurriedly finished her wontons, wiped her mouth, and looked at Yu Dongqing with an admiring look on her face: "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that Li's theoretical knowledge is so deep? Where did you read that?"

Where did you see that?

It turns out that time and space seems to be known to everyone who has studied directing, right?

Of course you can't say that.

"I forgot, it seems to be about that book. I thought it was interesting, but I forgot." Yu Dongqing prevaricated.

"You have to teach me more from now on!"

Ah?

After finishing their wontons, the two of them walked back to the parking lot to pick up their car.

The creative park was very quiet, and the two figures were stretched out by the dim street lights. Mingming may feel a little cold, leaning against Yu Dongqing, the whistling north wind blowing on her face is biting, but she feels very sweet in her heart.

The post-production editing was busy until early January when it was finally completed. The bright winter vacation was over and I was about to go back to school.

Yu Dongqing drove her to the airport as usual.

On the road, Ming Ming was reluctant to leave.

This year's winter vacation was the busiest one. I didn't go shopping, watch movies or buy clothes. I spent one day working in the office with Yu Dongqing.

But happy.

Being with the people you like makes you happy no matter what you do.

"Brother-in-law, you are going back to your hometown to visit your parents during the Spring Festival, right?" Meiliang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked.

"Yeah, what if I don't go back to visit the elderly throughout the year?" Yu Dongqing replied.

Suddenly remembering that he took Luo Yun back last year, his parents were extremely happy, and this year it was him and his daughter again. Thinking of the look in his parents' eyes, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but sigh.

Meili secretly glanced at Yu Dongqing, noticed the expression on his face, and said:

"Brother-in-law, I'm coming back during the Spring Festival."

"Spring Festival? British universities don't have a holiday for the Spring Festival. How can you come back?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised.

"I'm asking for leave! Come back and celebrate the New Year with my parents!"

"Well, as long as you can take leave and come back, your parents will of course be happy."

Meili smiled slightly after hearing this, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside.
