Chapter 160: Du Qiqi: I am a fearless warrior on the secret front
Du Ruoqi widened her eyes, looked at her brother, and then looked at Liu Zifei: "Brother, can you also make movies? Why does this beautiful sister ask you for advice?"
Before Du Caige could speak, Liu Zifei had already smiled and said, "Yes, your brother is a hidden master. He actually has a very deep background in directing."
Du Rongqi blinked her big eyes, and Du Caige rubbed her little head: "I like making movies, but I'm just a beginner."
"But Sister Liu said you're amazing!"
"That's why people are flattering me." Du Caige didn't want to talk about this topic.
After all, for relatives, it may be a very sudden thing to suddenly make a movie.
Fortunately, Du Ruoqi didn't have any doubts, and it is estimated that she also felt that Liu Zifei was just saying a few words of favor and no expense.
Du Caige quickly changed the subject and asked Du Qiqi about his life at school, his recent grades, whether he had any friends, and whether he had any grudges with others.
After eating and going downstairs, Du Caige said, "I'll take you back to the hotel."
Du Yanqi pouted unhappily, but did not protest, but quickly put on a smiling expression.
Liu Zifei smiled softly, and glanced at Du Yanqi subconsciously: "Okay."
At the dinner table just now, after several hidden confrontations, she finally realized that this outrageously beautiful little sister-in-law seemed to reject her.
But she really wanted to spend more time with Du Caige and have a few more conversations.
After getting in the car, Liu Zifei said, "Otherwise, you can come to my hotel room and look at the materials together."
Before Du Caige could answer, Du Rongqi said in an exaggerated tone, "Have you reached the point of going to the hotel to open a room?"
Du Caige tapped her on the head and said apologetically to Liu Zifei: "She was shut up in school for a few months, and now she is suddenly free again. It is inevitable that she is a little too excited, so ignore her."
Du Ranqi rubbed his head and complained, "Brother, can you stop hitting me on the head? It's too much."
He asked again: "Sister Liu, why did you go to the hotel, can't you go to your house?"
Liu Zifei's smile was stiff.
Du Ruoqi is so smart, she immediately understands that it is the sad thing for Sister Liu to stay in a hotel and not go home.
She just wanted to mess up Liu Zifei's date with her brother, and didn't want to really stab others.
So I immediately changed the topic: "How long have you been watching the material? I'm so bored by myself."
Du Caige thought for a while: "You can do your homework next to you."
"Are you really my brother? I always feel that I was adopted." The invincible, lively and lovely girl Du Rongqi immediately turned into a gloomy and resentful beautiful girl, looking at her brother with dangerous eyes.
"Do you think there is too little homework? Do you think your brother's love is not enough? Then I will pass by the bookstore and buy you more exercise books." Du Caige's answer was concise and powerful.
"Humph!" The girl sitting in the passenger seat turned her head out of the window angrily.
The corners of Liu Zifei's mouth couldn't help evoking a beautiful arc.
She has wanted a brother since she was a child.
Then wait until it's bigger,
She knew that it was impossible to have a brother, so she asked her parents to give her another brother.
My sister is absolutely not going to do it.
The younger sister will compete with her for favor, snatch beautiful clothes from her, and snatch sweet cakes.
But my brother is fine.
If the younger brother is beautiful, she can take him to show off in front of other children; she can let the younger brother play a role when he is pretending to be a family drink; when the younger brother grows up and develops a body of muscles, she can also protect her .
It is a pity that her parents are very busy with work, and her grandparents and grandparents also have their own difficulties. They are worried that no one will take care of another child, so she has never wanted a second child.
Liu Zifei waited desperately for a younger brother, and later even thought that if there was no younger brother, it would be good to have a younger sister.
But her parents didn't give birth.
Hey.
Growing up as an only daughter, Liu Zifei is always envious of girls who have siblings.
When he got to the hotel room, Du Ranqi carried his schoolbag aside in a fit of anger, took out his homework book and slammed it on the small round table.
Liu Zifei smiled and said, "Are you really going to do your homework? Your brother is making fun of you. Come and watch with us, and see what your brother and I photographed together."
The three heads came together and looked at the screen on the laptop.
Section after section of material, many of which are repeated, with only slight differences in angles, lighting, or the performance of the actors.
Du Ruoqi watched it with relish at first, but after a while, he covered his mouth and yawned.
Half an hour later, without Du Caige speaking, she ran to the small round table aside to do her homework.
Du Caige and Liu Zifei watched intently.
They are professional after all. Looking at these seemingly boring materials, they have already conceived in their minds, how to make good use of them, by cutting, piecing together, and using them in different sequences to show a complete story.
Liu Zifei turned her head and glanced at the sister-in-law, and whispered, "I have editing software in my laptop, and you can make rough cuts right now."
Du Caige didn't speak, and looked at the screen intently, but nodded slightly.
After reading all the two hours of material that Liu Zifei filmed, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Because during this period, he still slowed down and fixed the frame, and watched several scenes repeatedly, which took a lot of time.
Liu Zifei didn't feel boring at all.
Half of her mind was on Du Caige.
Although she pretended to look at the screen, she was actually looking at Du Caige's profile from the corner of her eyes.
Perhaps, compared to those little fresh meats that are popular nowadays, Du Caige's skin is worse, his hairstyle is not so good-looking, and his gray hair is not shiny, and the overall feeling is not so delicate, not that youthful and energetic Feel.
However, his eyes are deep and full of humanistic care, and he seems to be able to fully understand and empathize with others; his demeanor is calm, even quiet, and he is not in a hurry to express his opinions, preferring to be silent most of the time.
Liu Zifei felt that he was so attractive to her.
Maybe I admired him at first because of his good looks.
Until now, Liu Zifei also feels that she is a face control.
She still can't accept an ugly person.
However, if Du Caige gets fat or gets into a car accident and ruins her appearance, she doesn't think it matters.
Liu Zifei imagined a scene in which Du Caige was so fat and puffy that his eyes were almost squeezed out of sight, and nodded vigorously.
Well, it really doesn't matter what he said.
Du Caige looked at the time, then turned to look at his sister: "Are you sleepy?"
Du Ruoqi pointed to his nose unhappily: "Are you talking to me?"
"kindness."
"not sleepy."
"Then you can do your homework again, and I'll discuss editing with Xiao Liu."
"Hmph," the arrogant girl lowered her head and pouted, "It's up to you, you don't care about me at all anyway."
No matter how sluggish Du Caige was, he also found that his sister was a little bit of drama today.
But he didn't think about it deeply, he just thought that it was his sister's arrogant disease that was committed again.
Now that his mind is full of editing, how can he have time to ponder his sister's mind?
Of course, even if he was given time to think about it, it would be impossible to figure it out.
He turned a deaf ear, opened the editing software, and started work.
Liu Zifei said curiously, "Do you put a paragraph at the beginning?"
"of course."
"I thought you were going to make it more dramatic at the beginning, or set up a little suspense. I thought the previous paragraph was quite suitable for the beginning. After all, it is a short film. Don't you think you should consider making the beginning more impactful?"
Du Caige explained while operating: "No, think about it, what is the overall tone of this short film."
Liu Zifei tilted her head and thought for a while, and said in an uncertain tone, "Is it a little sad to see traditional culture gradually disappearing irreversibly?"
Du Caige actually felt that it was inappropriate to use "slight sadness", but he did not refute her, but said: "Almost. In short, this short film is not about strange and dangerous, but is like the orthodox school in martial arts novels. The move is upright and upright, and it must be forceful.”
"Like a master in the world, learning martial arts with others."
"It can be light, it can be light, don't write too hard, don't get too much ink, just click and stop."
"If you want to beat the weak and the strong, then you have to make tricks one after another."
"But you are the number one expert in the world. You have to have humility, you have to use momentum to overwhelm people, and your gestures seem to be ordinary. They are the simplest moves. It seems that even an eight-year-old child can easily learn them. But in fact, your moves But it's a return to the basics, winning in an understatement, and then there is room for people to reminisce."
Liu Zifei kept nodding, indicating that she was taught.
Editing a movie is like playing a puzzle.
But there is no single correct answer to this puzzle.
It's like giving you a lot of various ingredients and seasonings for you to cook.
Different chefs will definitely make different dishes with different flavors.
This is where editing is fun.
The famous "Kingdom of Heaven", directed by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Sombra Fall, Foot Fighter, Mad Flower, American Gangster, Prometheus, The Martian), Elf Prince Orlando Bloom Starring, in addition to Eva Green (Dream of Paris, 007 vs. Casino Royale, Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle, Pulp Talk) and Edward Norton (X-Files, Hulk), Oscar winner Liam Neeson (Schindler) List, Star Wars Prequel, New York Gangs, Hurricane Rescue) and other powerful actors to join.
This lineup is luxurious. A great director who won the Lifetime Achievement Award, two Oscar winners, and a European actress.
The investment is also huge, $130 million.
Everyone had great expectations for this movie, but after it was released, it was considered a standard bad movie.
I feel that the story is monotonous, the characters lack three-dimensional sense, and the narrative is ambiguous.
In the end, the global box office only got 50 million US dollars, and everything was lost.
