Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 372 Classification of Montage
Since her daughter lived in her grandma's house, Yu Dongqing had no worries, so she took the time to complete the post-production of the film.

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

The north wind was blowing today, and the weather was extremely cold. Yu Dongqing stopped the car, and a gust of cold wind poured into his neck as soon as he got out of the car. He 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, and the fiery red scarf around her neck was particularly eye-catching.

"Brother-in-law."

The girl called out.

It is bright.

Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"It's such a cold day, why are you here? Don't sleep late?"

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

"Don't sleep, I get up early every morning and send 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!" Mingmei said with a smile.

This posture is low.

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

"Let's go then."

The two walked upstairs together.

The room was cold, and Yu Dongqing didn't care about waiting for it to warm up. Turning on the computer, she started to get busy, and soon immersed herself in her work.

"Brother-in-law, drink tea."

Yu Dongqing turned her head and saw Mingmei bringing a cup of steaming tea.

Yes, Not Bad.

It is indeed a kind of enjoyment to drink a sip of hot tea on a cold day.

"Brother-in-law, what am I doing?" Mingmei asked.

Yu Dongqing thought for a while; "You have read the script, how about this, you rough cut it first."

"OK!"

Mingmei turned on another computer next to her and got busy.

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

"Oh, Holly, you came so early? Damn! The wind is so fucking strong!"

It was Li Wan who came.

He just complained a few words and suddenly found a girl sitting in front of the computer next to him, he was taken aback before he said, "Director Ming? Are you here too?"

Mingmei turned around and said with a smile, "I'll help my brother-in-law. You should call me Mingmei."

"Aren't you studying in England? Are you on vacation?" Li Wan smiled.

"Well, on Christmas break."

The two are filming "Youth in Youth". One is the director and the other is the producer. They have been together for several months and are old acquaintances.

"Heh, Mingmei, you came back in time, a top student at the London Film Academy, it's great to have your help, which greatly reduces Dongqing's workload. Dongqing, you must thank you, my sister-in-law."

"Go to work." Yu Dongqing replied.

Why did Li Wan talk so much today?
The three got busy.

The post-editing of movies is generally done by professional editors, and the director will also maintain close communication with the editor during the fine-cutting.

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

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

From morning to night, ordering takeout halfway, spending almost all day in the office, and doing it for a whole week.

Mingmei comes here every day and leaves work with Yu Dongqing at night, without any regrets.

"Today we're going to try to finish the editing. I think we'll have to work overtime at night, and we can start mixing and grading the sound tomorrow." Yu Dongqing looked at the screen and said to Mingmei without turning her head.

"Okay, brother-in-law."

Li Wan sometimes came over during the day and went home after get off work. Anyway, he didn't know much about technology and it was fine to stay here.

At night, Qikeshu Creative Park was completely silent, and the lights in each office building began to go out one by one, but Yu Dongqing's office was still brightly lit until after midnight. He looked at the last picture and rubbed his hands. He rubbed his sore eyes.

Finally got it!
Turning her head, Ming Mei also looked at the screen with joy.

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

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

"I'm a little hungry too, let's go, let's have supper."

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

Yu Dongqing and Mingmei went over, and sure enough, the door was open, and there were still diners inside, and each of them asked for a bowl of small wontons, and they ate slowly.

"Brother-in-law, I found your editing technique is very special." Mingmei 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.

Mingmei was a little surprised when she heard that. "Montage is divided into narrative and performance?"

Now it was Yu Dongqing's turn to be surprised: "What? Didn't you teach it in college?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you, brother-in-law, tell me about it."

Really didn't say anything?
Could it be that the shooting theory of this time and space is the same as that of music, not as good as that of the original time and space?

But Yu Dongqing didn't think much about it, so she started talking.

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

Yu Dongqing talked about it for half an hour.

Mingmei listened so seriously that she even forgot to eat wontons.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, the wontons are cold." Yu Dongqing reminded.

Mingmei hurriedly ate the wontons, wiped her mouth, and looked at Yu Dongqing with a look of admiration: "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect Li to have such a solid theoretical foundation? Where did you read it?"

Where did you see that?

It turns out that time and space, it seems that anyone who has studied directing knows it, right?

Of course you can't say that.

"Forgot, it seems to be in that book, I think it's very interesting, but I forgot." Yu Dongqing prevaricated.

"In the future, you have to teach me more!"

Ah?
After eating the wontons, the two of them walked back to the parking lot to pick up the car.

It was very quiet in the creative park, the figures of the two were drawn very long by the dim streetlights.Mingmei might feel a little cold, leaning close to Yu Dongqing, the whistling north wind was biting on her face, but she felt very sweet in her heart.

The post-editing was busy until the first ten days of January, and the bright winter vacation was over, and I was going back to school soon.

Yu Dongqing drove her to the airport as usual.

On the road, Mingmei was reluctant to part.

Coming back from the winter vacation this year is the busiest one. Instead of going shopping, watching movies and buying clothes, I just spent a 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're going back to your hometown to visit your parents during the Spring Festival, right?" Ming Mei who was sitting in the passenger seat asked suddenly.

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

Suddenly remembering that last year when she took Luo Yun back home, her parents were overjoyed, and this year it was her and her daughter again. Thinking of her parents' eyes, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but sigh.

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

"Brother-in-law, I will be back during the Spring Festival."

"Spring Festival? British universities don't have a holiday for the Spring Festival. How did 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, well, as long as you can ask for leave and come back, your parents will be happy."

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