The day after the media meeting, the shooting of the promotional video for the Olympic bid officially started. The script of the promotional video for this shooting was written in advance. The first promotional video is expected to be more than three minutes, but Dong Dong's scenes are not included.
Not much, only appeared for more than 20 seconds.
These more than 20 seconds are mainly at the beginning of the film. Yu Dong will pick up the pen and write calligraphy. Whenever he finishes writing a word, the word will transform into a human form. Some play football, some play table tennis, and some lift weights.
Some jump high...
Therefore, Yu Dong's recording is also very fast. He only needs to record the scene of him writing, and the rest is synthesized in post-production.
In fact, Zhang Yimou originally wanted Yu Dong to perform Tai Chi in the promotional video, but Yu Dong really doesn't know how to do it. Since he doesn't know how, there is no need to do it, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
Deep Space Company provided help for this promotional video for the Olympic bid, so Yanjing Film Studio did not have to worry about it in terms of funding or technology.
Before the participation of Deep Space Company, the Olympic Bid Committee originally planned to shoot only one promotional film. Now with the participation of Deep Space Company, the number has been directly increased to six.
All six promotional films for the Olympic bid are planned to be filmed before April next year, which works out to almost one film per month. However, according to Zhang Yimou's progress, one film can be filmed in a week.
Yu Dong entered the studio on the morning of the 13th, and he finished filming at noon that day.
After the filming was completed, Zhang Yimou wanted to stay in Yudong for a meal, but Yudong didn't bother him and took the company's business jet back to Jinling.
The reason why he was so anxious to come back was because the 14th was Yu Yi's first birthday.
According to the custom of the Cheng family, the grandma and grandpa are in charge of celebrating a child's first birthday, so Yu Yi's first birthday banquet was also hosted by Yu Dongyue's parents.
In addition to relatives and friends in Jinling, some direct relatives will come, but even so, there are also seven or eight tables of people.
The current situation of Yu Dong's family is like this. Either no one is invited, and as long as they are invited, there will be a lot of people invited.
Let's just say that if Yu Hua and the others invite one of them, the others will definitely be invited. If Yu Hua and the others are invited, naturally colleagues with good connections like Liu Changmin cannot be left behind.
After lunch, they held a meeting to catch up with Zhou. Qin Fang spread a very large red cloth on the ground and placed a lot of things on it, including paper, ink, pens and inkstones, chess, calligraphy and painting, gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of things that you can see.
People are dazzled.
After everything was put on the table, Yu Yi placed it in the middle of the red cloth.
Yu Yi, who has just turned one year old, is chubby, wearing a purple children's cheongsam, sitting in the middle of the red cloth, his little face full of doubts.
The guests gathered around the red cloth and watched Yu Yi's movements carefully, wondering what she would catch.
Aunt Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile, "Dad is a great writer. He will definitely pick up a pen or a book."
Chen Tao expressed a different opinion, "I feel like it's really better to follow my sister and definitely pick up a musical instrument."
In fact, judging from the layout of the objects on the red cloth, it is indeed most likely that Yu Yi caught a pen, book or musical instrument, because when placing these objects, Yu Yi's grandmother and grandmother deliberately placed these objects
Place it near the middle for easy grabbing.
Those that are close to each other are basically pens, inks, paper, inkstones, chess, calligraphy and painting, and other elegant things, such as gold and silver jewelry, abacus and scales, which are placed far away.
But Yu Yi was a relatively "rebellious" child. Instead of grabbing the elegant things close to her, she crawled to a place near the edge of the red cloth and grabbed a whistle.
"Really, this, this."
Qin Fang was obviously dissatisfied with her granddaughter catching the whistle, so she picked up the pen to tease Yu Yi, hoping that Yu Yi could catch the pen, but Yu Yi didn't care about her grandma at all, and just put the whistle in her mouth and started blowing.
"Dududu——"
After the whistle sounded, Yu Yi chuckled.
Seeing Yu's smile, Qin Fang lost her temper and started laughing too.
Someone asked, "What does catching the whistle mean?"
"I've never heard of catching Zhou and catching a whistle." No one knows what catching a whistle means.
With the changes of the times, the things used to capture Zhou Li have changed a lot. Today, these things were all plundered by Qin Fang from home. In order to make the things appear more numerous, he even brought the whistles. Of course, he used the whistles to make up for it.
At that time, Qin Fang did not expect that her granddaughter would actually catch the whistle.
Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "This whistle can also be regarded as a musical instrument. Zhenzhen will definitely have musical talent in the future."
After hearing Bi Feiyu's words, everyone secretly gave a thumbs up, thinking that this guy really knows how to talk.
Sure enough, Qin Fang found these words very helpful, and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, the whistle can also be regarded as a musical instrument. Zhenzhen will definitely become a musician like her mother in the future. When she grows up, she will play the piano for her grandma."
As if he understood what grandma said, Yu Yi bit his whistle and whistled a few more times, making everyone laugh.
…
After lunch, Yu Dong and the others chatted in the reception room.
Yu Hua leaned on the bamboo couch and asked Yu Dong, "Has the science fiction novel you mentioned last time, which is related to Expressionism and Kafka, finished?"
Yu Dong nodded while making tea, "Yes, it's already written."
Hearing that Yu Dong had finished writing, Yu Hua sat up straight and everyone else looked at Yu Dong.
"Is there a manuscript here?" Yu Hua asked.
"It's true, but it's an electronic file on the computer in my study." Yu Dong said with a smile.
Yu Dong had already sent the manuscript of "District 9" to the company. After proofreading, the company entered the manuscript into the computer and gave Yu Dong an electronic file.
The manuscript of "District 9" has now been sent to the translation teams in various languages. Once the translation work is completed, it will be available for sale. In fact, if it were not delayed for a period of time due to the sci-fi themed activities and the start of school, this novel would have been released long ago.
Finished writing.
"I'll get it." Bi Feiyu stood up directly.
Yu Dongyi glanced at him, "How do you get it? Could you bring my computer here? My computer is desktop."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bi Feiyu took out a transparent box with a small black card inside, "There is something called an SD card."
Seeing Bi Feiyu take out the SD card from his pocket, Yu Dong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You're so awesome, take this thing with you everywhere."
If an SD card appeared on a person in the computer industry, Yu Dong would not find it strange, but as a teacher and writer, Bi Feiyu would be a little bit magical even if he carries this thing.
The sd card is actually a new thing. Many people in China don’t know about it yet. Let alone the sd card, many people don’t know about the mmc card that appeared earlier than it. After all, even the mmc has just been introduced into the country.
Not two years.
"You have a card, but you don't have a computer. How do you read the card?"
Hu Changqing, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I brought my laptop. It's in my car. I'll get it now."
Hearing that Hu Changqing brought a laptop, Yu Dong was not too surprised. This guy was an electronic product enthusiast and would change his mobile phone to a computer every so often. He would indeed carry his computer with him.
Now that the equipment was brought, Yu Dong didn't say anything more and took Bi Feiyu to the study to copy out the electronic file of the novel. On the other hand, Hu Changqing also went out to get the computer.
When Yidong and the others came back to the reception room, Hu Changqing had already turned on the computer.
The novel was opened in the computer, and Yu Hua and the others came over and crowded in front of the small computer screen.
"Enlarge the font size, Lao Hu, you still call yourself a computer expert and buy a computer with such a small screen." Yu Hua complained.
Hu Changqing said angrily, "What do you know? This kind of notebook is easy to carry. I have one with a larger screen at home, but I didn't bring it with me."
"What nonsense did you say? Please make the font size larger. The font size is so small that it almost blinds me."
"It's better to be blind." Hu Changqing muttered, but still increased the font size.
But after the font size is increased, another problem arises, that is, the screen is too small, and the entire screen cannot fit a few lines of words, which is very uncomfortable to read, especially for people who read quickly.
Not being able to see clearly is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the computer is so big and there are so many people crowded together that there is no place to look at it.
Later, Yu Hua slapped his head and said, "Executive member, doesn't your home have a projector? Why don't you connect Lao Hu's computer to the projector, so that we can all watch it."
Hearing Yu Hua's suggestion, Yu Dong couldn't help but twitch his lips.
His house does have a projector, and it is state-of-the-art. It is placed in the room at the corner of the reception building.
The reason why a projector is installed is also to increase entertainment activities. When everyone has nothing to do during the holidays, they can watch some movies and pass the time.
However, the idea of ​​projecting the novel on a projector is a bit silly.
But others don't care about this and think this proposal is good.
Bi Feiyu was the first to agree, "Yeah, how could you forget this? The projector at Yuanwai's house is the most advanced projector now. The picture effect is amazing, and the screen is so big that it is enough for all of us."
People can watch it together, so there’s no need to be so crowded like now.”
Hu Changqing also nodded, "Yes, yes, let's go there now."
After saying that, without even responding to Dong Dong, Hu Changqing just carried his computer and walked towards the room where the projector was installed.
When the others saw Hu Changqing getting up, they all got up too.
"Let's go and read a book." Yu Hua shouted as he walked.
Seeing that all the troops were leaving, Yu Dong shook his head slightly and followed.
The room where the projector is installed is quite large, and for the convenience of watching movies, there are several rows of comfortable seats that can be put down to lie down. When the curtains are drawn, the room is like a small cinema.
The shadow effect is very good.
This was not the first time that Hu Changqing had done screencasting. After arriving, he connected his computer to the projector with ease, then opened the novel and projected the novel on the screen.
Looking at the text that appeared on the screen, Wang Xiaobo couldn't help but sigh, "I have never read a book like this before, let alone say, I really feel it."
"Well, I do feel it, but it would be nice if there was some music. Isn't this book related to expressionism? Lao Hu, let's play some angry music." Yu Hua said.
Hu Changqing shrugged his shoulders, "I'm going to disappoint you. There is only one Ode to Joy in my computer and nothing else. Do you want to listen to the Ode to Joy?"
"Forget it, that's it."
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, then quickly became quiet and focused on the text on the screen.
Hu Changqing is responsible for controlling the computer to turn pages, but he reads books very quickly. After he finished reading, many people didn't finish it. So as soon as he turned the page, many people shouted: "Don't turn it, don't turn it, I haven't finished it yet."
Hu Changqing waited a little longer until the next page.
After flipping through several pages, Hu Changqing discovered that Wang Xiaobo read it last every time.
Hu Changqing directly pulled Wang Xiaobo to the computer and said, "You turn the page."
Sure enough, if the slowest reader is allowed to turn the pages, no one will say they haven't finished reading, but the others can only wait silently for Wang Xiaobo, the slowest reader, to turn the pages. However, this is better than someone not finishing the book.
The novel "District 9" was born out of the movie "District 9", but the plot is not exactly the same as the movie. The protagonist in the novel is not like in the movie, a senior civil servant with some background, but a three-year-old.
He is a ten-year-old ordinary man who has just been engaged to his fiancée. He used to work in other companies and through his own efforts became a regular employee of a large multinational company.
After becoming an employee of a multinational company, he was sent to District 9 to participate in on-site management work. The so-called District 9 is the place where aliens are placed.
Decades ago, a group of aliens escaped to the earth. The aliens who came to the earth were not to invade, but to seek refuge.
After discussions, various countries on Earth decided to set up an area in South Africa as a temporary refuge for these aliens. In fact, it was to imprison these aliens together to facilitate centralized management.
At first, the governments of various countries negotiated to manage District 9. Later, they simply outsourced the management of aliens to a well-known multinational company, which is the company where the male protagonist joined.
After arriving in District 9, the male protagonist was accidentally infected with a strange virus and became more and more like an alien.
Because the setting is different from that of the male protagonist in the movie, the male protagonist's attitude towards aliens in the novel is a constantly changing process, from curiosity and fear at the beginning, to disgust mixed with a trace of sympathy, to
Finally became as numb as everyone else.
This difference in setting is also related to the form of expression. After all, movies have market restrictions. If you want to show the psychological changes of the men's football team, you need a lot of space. But the novel is different, there is enough space, and the text expresses the psychological changes.
It is also more advantageous and more efficient.
In fact, in the first few chapters of the novel, Yu Hua and others did not feel that the novel had anything to do with Expressionism. They were just attracted by the aliens and the special experiences of aliens mentioned in the novel.
Chapter completed!
