Tokyo Wingman King

The camera equipment was taken back by Miss Shinomiya.

Asama was holding the drone purchased by the Love Counseling Department in one hand, and touching the expensive Sony 1920G memory card that he had picked out from the movie machine in his pocket with the other hand, he replied to Fusukawa who made the temporary and unreliable proposal,

"You should go back and rest early. If you are worried that you won't be able to finish editing tomorrow, I will make a rough editing proposal today and discuss it together tomorrow."

Before the girls could respond, Asama took out the memory card and continued,

"Haven't the content shot by your mobile phones been sent to me? The content shot by the drone and the main movie camera are all with me. I will make a preliminary screen based on the script and real shots, and then review your photos with F-san. The storyboard provides detailed feedback.”

Jiandao frowned and said worriedly,

"The total shooting time of several equipments is almost 50 hours, right? You, Jingshui, can't do it even if you stay up all night, right?"

"Robert-kun, didn't I say it before? A good work needs to unite all the forces that can be united to be born. Working alone behind closed doors is like a long and difficult childbirth, which will give birth to a weak child!"

What the hell kind of metaphor are you talking about!

Asama shook his head,

"Editing is not about having more people, the better. For many large-scale movies, only a few people may be responsible for editing. In this way, I will sort out the specific division of editing work today, and we will start working together tomorrow after we have a meeting. Like? But there is a prerequisite - you must be able to edit software. Except F Sang, do everyone know editing software? Can you use Da Vinci, AE, etc.?"

Pochi spread his hands and said that he had already learned how to edit. Jiandao also nodded.

Futami used her mobile phone to search for the software Asama just mentioned, and said seriously to Asama,

"I can learn it now! Although I don't know AE, I know PS. Since they are all software produced by Adobe, there shouldn't be much difference in operation, right? In addition, I also know a little bit about the editing tools on my mobile phone, such as masks, I know a lot about keying, color grading, and simple transitions.”

"."

At this moment, the second sight showed an amazing desire to learn.

Immortal River patted Asama's shoulder and said comfortingly,

"Well~~~ Don't be afraid of trouble! It's really late now, we can discuss it while sorting it out! Robert-kun, you and Xiao Mai are in a group, Xiaoyue and I are in a group, you can sort out the first scene from the beginning to the next chapter There are three scenes of shots and one-man shows of three characters. We sort out the fourth to sixth scenes. First, take the time to sort the materials of each device into categories according to each scene. If there are no problems, we can start editing today. We deeply understand that there is power in numbers. A big person would never do anything that betrays the people~~~"

Sorry, I don't need people power.

Asama looked at the girls who were planning to spend the night at his house again, and he seized on the loophole that the Immortal River had just arranged.

"I only have one computer at home, so there's no point in dividing it into two or three groups."

Jiandao opened her old backpack and took out her Apple Macbook Air.

"It's okay, Jingshui. I brought a laptop, and I have installed DaVinci and Cap cut. I saw on Instagram that this laptop can be used to edit short films."

"."

Only now did Asama realize that the girls' performance tonight was an organized, premeditated, planned and sure move.

Since Kanshitagawa insisted on editing together today, Asama could only convince herself that "there is indeed a consultation appointment tomorrow afternoon, and it may be too late to edit."

".Okay, then go back first."

Sartre also said, "If you try to change something, you should first accept many things." 】

Overestimate your ability to change people. In fact, you are also being changed by them.

If you really want to change them, you will inevitably need to make strategic compromises in one or two small places.

One specific manifestation of people not cherishing themselves is "being easily dependent", and another specific manifestation is "being accustomed to compromise".

Obviously, Asama Shisui, who has lived in isolation for 16 years, has now become a boy who does not love himself.

Several people quickly arrived at the door of the apartment.

Asama watched Bochi take the other three people into the apartment by swiping their cards and calling for the elevator, as if he was the guest at someone else's house.

In the elevator, Majima Mai looked at the Immortal River with sparkling eyes, and then at the expressionless Asama. She seemed to understand something.

A gentleman deceives others.

Jiajima felt that the Immortal River had explored a green channel for her that Asama would not refuse.

As long as the matter you ask is an honest matter, Asama will most likely agree and focus on it.

In other words, as long as there is a reasonable and legitimate reason, it is not impossible for Tiantian and Asama to be together!

I don’t know when Jingshui became interested in biology and genetics.

Futami Tsukiumi picked up her phone and studied the editing tutorial carefully.

Although I'm not in the same group as Shizui-kun, there's always a chance when the night is so long, right?

Thinking like this, she suddenly remembered the rainy night that several people spent together more than a week ago.

Maybe, three more monks will have no water to drink.

Back in the apartment, a few people were at the desk, staring at the results of the past few days played at high speed on the screen.

Asama's computer was a second-hand workstation purchased at a very low price through a relationship with Komaba.

The configuration is almost the same as the high-end home configuration from 3 years ago.

3090 water-cooled 24G graphics card, i9 10900k processor, 64GB memory, Pro Art series 10G motherboard, 1000W power supply, for film post-production, the hardware is basically qualified.

Time is money, this sentence seems very reasonable here.

If it is a classic machine, it may not be possible to finish cutting these things until the holidays.

I feel that the pictures are all pretty good, but the textures produced by different equipment are different.

Asama discussed with Fusukawa and decided on a unified output format for movies——

For 4K-60 frames, the target bit rate is 55mbps.

Different from traditional 24-frame movies, although Asama and his team shot most of the shots to be static, for the sake of immersion in the picture, they still chose a high frame rate close to many commercial advertisements.

Several people then took a look at all the shooting scenes.

The telephoto lens shot by a drone has no problem with precision. However, the texture of the pictures taken by Apple mobile phones is somewhat different from those taken by FX6.

In addition to the difference between the color and the inherent color texture of the movie camera, the pictures taken by mobile phones cannot achieve a good depth of field effect. The depth of field of the P-pattern created by the algorithm cannot distinguish the boundary between the background in the picture and the protagonist's wind-blown hair.

Moreover, the pictures taken by mobile phones also have some beautification effects, which to a certain extent backstab the mediocre Shizui Asama in the movie camera.

All in all, I spent 15 minutes jumping through all the shooting materials. I felt that there were not many problems with editing, but the workload of post-production color correction was quite large.

When discussing editing, Immortal River suddenly said,

"To save time, let's announce the transitions between each scene with pure text on a black background, right?"

"Wouldn't this turn the movie into fragments, one section at a time?"

Asama didn’t quite agree with Fusukawa’s proposal either.

"We're not filming a collection of short stories, are we? Do you want to emphasize the sense of drama?"

"Before each scene, there is a 6-second black background announcement with a sentence highlighting the theme. What do you think?"

Immortal River gave a few more examples.

Act Three [Where the promise is, there is the betrayal. ——Milan Quindlen]

Act Six [Desire always ends in boredom. ——Albert Camus]

Asama tapped the table with his left hand, thinking about the effect of the movie.

"Would this be too preachy? If I were watching a movie, this kind of sentence would appear at the beginning and end at most, otherwise I wouldn't watch this kind of movie."

"Will this happen?"

"The reason why there are more people watching movies and novels than TED talks is probably because they don't want to be preached to, right? Nobel laureate Harold Pinter said of Beckett, 'He doesn't lead me down any garden path. He doesn’t wink secretly, offer me cures, ways forward, revelations from heaven, or offer me a bowl of crumbs; he won’t sell me anything I don’t want to buy—no matter what I buy. He won't talk nonsense with me if I don't buy it - his hand is never higher than his heart. However, I am happy to buy his goods: whether it is a hook, a line, or a hammer. Because he has turned over all the stones. There was not a single maggot left. Because he appeared like this, he gave birth to beautiful things.'"

Asama's words happened to be in response to their description of a desirable man in the private room of the Chinese restaurant [Guizhi] 2 hours ago.

Although Asama has been making mistakes, about dogmatism and everyone's controlling advice. However, he knows what kind of [Great Teacher] he should be.

No amount of preaching can compare to the silent practice of moisturizing things.

People may perceive the world through their eyes and phenomena, and survive by imitating it.

Among the three realms of life mentioned by Kierkegaard - "aesthetic realm, moral realm, and religious belief realm", most people stay in the aesthetic realm. Watch the beauties flirting with each other, watch the handsome guys showing off their muscles, watch the exquisite lives of other people’s friends, and watch the unusual scenery and culture of foreign countries.

Watching movies is also watching. At the very least, it must satisfy people's pursuit of beauty.

It took another 5 minutes to convince Fusukawa to copy the material into Shimajima's notebook, and they began the tedious editing preliminary screening work.

Pochi, who was watching the movie and listening to the debate with great interest, realized something was wrong at this time.

Ah? Uncle Pochi obviously knows how to edit, so why is he a redundant person?

Immortal River seemed to hear Pochi's thoughts and smiled at Pochi,

"Sister Boqi, you can go take a shower first! We will take turns taking a shower later, and you can help me~"

"Hmm~Okay~~~Little Rise is the best~~~"

Mai Majima held the storyboard script and read the content above, while Asama used Pro to process the original film material on the computer, quickly inserting segments of material into the timeline of the software.

Seeing Asama's serious look, Majima, who was a little shaken at first, secretly gave himself a bad review.

She continued to follow the order of the script, reading the notes written by herself, Futami, Fusugawa, and Asama on the script.

Asama, who didn't like looking in the mirror, felt weird looking at her own performance now.

There is indeed nothing wrong with my acting skills. Do I really have schizophrenia?

wrong,

It should be the thorough communication about the script in the early stage, coupled with the good guidance of director Fusukawa, that led to such a performance. Rather than criticizing or encouraging, it is more important for the screenwriter, director, and actors to interrogate each other about the characters themselves.

What kind of person is Manaka, what kind of person is Hiiragi, what kind of person is Natsukawa,

Their clothing, personality traits, habits of tone, expression and movement, references to corresponding attributes and characters, those details can amplify the labels on them and be quickly accepted by the audience.

It's all stuck in their minds.

It doesn’t matter whether this film is viewed in the future as a romantic comedy, a campus youth film, or an educational film full of morals.

At least they presented those fictional characters in the movie in a reasonable way.

The chirping of birds and the chirping of cicadas on a Tokyo summer night have not stopped, and only one light in the entire apartment building is still on.

A few people in the love counseling department cut to 2 o'clock without knowing it.

Fusukawa cut 18 minutes of content, while Asama only cut to 15 minutes, and the second act was not finished yet.

We had previously discussed with Immortal Sichuan that the entire film would be about 60 minutes long, and one person would cut it for half an hour. Now it seems that it will be an all-nighter.

Asama, who has the [Stay Up Late] skill, must take a nap around 4-6 o'clock. He doesn't want to be forced to stand by again the next day.

Jiandao already showed a hint of sleepiness, but Fusukawa and Futami were still in high spirits.

They had taken turns taking a shower and changed into Asama's clothes in the previous two hours.

Four people crowded in front of an L-shaped desk, and Asama felt that every breath he took was filled with the fragrance of shampoo and shower gel, as well as the fragrance of the girl.

Pochi came out of the bathroom at this time, his half-dried blond hair tied up with a scarf.

"Ah Shui, it's your turn to come clean~~~"

Compared with the three humanoid incense burners, Asama, who had already felt that he stank, stood up, packed his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

By the time he came out of the shower, Jiandao was exhausted and slept on the sofa.

Well, it seems that I can only lie down on the table and rest.

Futami sat down on Asama's seat very naturally, picked up the script, and smiled at Asama.

"Shizui-kun, Rise cut it faster than you, and also inserted subtitles and music."

"If you are not as skilled as others, you will be defeated."

The interface operation of Cap Cut itself is simpler than that of Pr, and it is natural that it is faster than it.

Immortal River turned his head and smiled,

"Hmm, Robert-kun's gift of humility has taken effect again~~~If Xiao Mai is still awake, she will definitely say, 'Is there something that Shizui is not good at? I must be pretending, right?' Such words~~~"

"But as long as someone teaches Ah Shui step by step, he will learn quickly!"

"Do you need to hold hands? Robert-kun?"

"I'm sorry, it was already 9 years ago that I graduated from kindergarten."

Asama turned around and continued editing.

【Ding】

[Skill upgrade, editing lv.2]

I went from beginner to proficient in one fell swoop.

Qianjian glanced at the great god, and his fair face was filled with happiness.

"Is there something on my face?"

The Great Ming God tilted his head as if he was being cute.

"mercy."

"."

Work efficiency suddenly increased by 2-3 times, and Asama successfully completed all editing excluding Komaba's special effects at 4 o'clock.

And all the subtitles, background music and color correction were done.

Futami Tsukiumi held her cheek with her hands and could no longer open her eyes.

Asama looked back at the Immortal River, and her editing work was coming to an end.

"Do you need help?"

Asama whispered.

"Huh? Did you finish cutting it so quickly? Robert's style of wanting to grow up but then suppressing it?"

Immortal River also answered in a low voice, and next to her was Pochi who seemed to be blowing his nose.

"F-san, aren't you sleepy?"

"You've been so sleepy for a long time, but you, Mr. Robert, really have an iron-clad body. You don't need sleep, you just need to recharge your batteries?"

"Take them to bed and stop talking in their sleep. Leave the rest to me."

Immortal River and Asama looked at each other for 10 seconds and finally nodded.

"Leave the editing and optimization work to me tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'll fix it, which means there's no need to optimize tomorrow."

Fusukawa listened to Asama's completely immodest speech.

Her heart began to beat faster.

The boy in front of him showed a confidence that was different from the sports festival and had no performance content. It was as heart-pounding as his humility. (End of chapter)
