Yang Yajing felt quite comfortable as Zhou Pengfei started school in this life.
In his previous life, Jiang Xuanxuan drove Zhou Pengfei back and forth several times to help him start school, and he even stayed in the dormitory.
As soon as Jiang Xuanxuan arrived at their school, while Zhou Pengfei and Yang Yajing were busy moving things, she had already made a first impression and become a familiar face to his classmates.
In addition, Zhou Pengfei owed her a favor, so he felt embarrassed to refuse her invitations later. Over time, and with Yang Yajing busy with family matters, the two became quite familiar with each other.
It's unclear what Jiang Xuanxuan said to Zhou Pengfei, but although Zhou Pengfei was friendly to Yang Yajing, he wasn't close to her.
In addition, Zhou Pengfei in his previous life was the kind of guy Yu Yue described as having a pretty face but not a bright brain, a clueless straight man who didn't understand women like Jiang Xuanxuan at all, so he wasn't clear-headed at all.
Moreover, Zhou Pengfei's conversations with his pen pal in his previous life mostly revolved around their shared loneliness and misfortune, offering each other comfort, so there was no real growth involved.
This life is different. The conversation between Yun Shijin and Zhifengcao contains a lot of analysis of human relationships and social customs, which makes Zhou Pengfei no longer so foolish and more able to distinguish the metaphors in their words.
If men are also categorized as "naive and innocent," then Zhou Pengfei in his previous life was a "naive and innocent" type, while in this life, Zhou Pengfei has gained a bit more cunning and lost a bit of passivity.
This change also made Zhou Pengfei very curious about who the person behind the letter was.
He always felt that this person's aura was very familiar, as if he knew this person very well. Although they had never met, he felt a sense of close friendship, as if they were kindred spirits even though they were far apart.
But he didn't want to disrupt this balance and comfort for the time being. "Yun Shijin... one day," he thought, "one day, you will truly exist in my real life."
Zhou Pengfei's first year of university seemed too peaceful. Apart from the free development of basic skills into style training, there was only some theory and history.
Most people had plenty of time to get to know each other and build relationships, and Zhou Pengfei wasn't idle either.
While continuing his small business at the studio, he and Song Qi also developed some strange and unusual hobbies.
It all started when Song Qi bought a digital camera and set it up on a tripod to shoot frame-by-frame animated videos of various small objects.
When they were taking pictures of "oranges versus apples," they didn't have enough hands, so Zhou Pengfei happened to be home and asked him to help with the posing.
After hearing Song Qi's idea, Zhou Pengfei found it very interesting and drew a movie poster for him while practicing digital drawing.
Song Qi really liked the poster, so he had it made into a CD cover and credited it: Screenwriter, Director, Editor – Song Qi; Motion Editor, Art Director – Zhou Pengfei.
The two of them got more and more into it, making videos about everything from watermelons to dieting, to pulling up seedlings to help them grow, to removing dead skin from roses... basically, whatever was interesting, they would make short videos.
Soon, a row of homemade animated film discs appeared on the living room bookshelf.
When Yang Yajing and Chen Jiaoyun came to visit again, the two invited them to "watch a movie".
Chen Jiaoyun sat in front of the TV for an hour, laughing out loud as she watched. But each movie was only three minutes long, and the shortest was only one minute. She was still not satisfied after watching the whole stack of discs.
"That's it? I haven't seen enough yet!" Chen Jiaoyun pouted.
"Big sister! It takes several hours to make one, and we've only been working on it for half a year! This is more than enough!" Song Qi was admitted to Huamei University right after graduating from high school and was a year younger than them, so she kept calling them "big brother" and "big sister".
"Ah!" Chen Jiaoyun suddenly thought of something, "Take a picture of this! Take a picture of this!"
She took out her sketchbook and opened it; it was filled with many four-panel comics, all of which were her creations.
"Huh? Sister Chen also studied art?" Song Qi asked curiously as she looked at the comics.
“Yes, but now I’m in the Chinese department, so it’s just a double major. I need to learn the language well to write more concise stories.” Chen Jiaoyun nodded.
"Your ideas are really great! Can I borrow your script? I'll take pictures of it for you." Song Qi really liked those stories.
"Great! Great!" Chen Jiaoyun clapped her hands. "Then I'll come and enjoy it every month!"
"You're welcome anytime!" Song Qi smiled.
"By the way, Song Qi, do you only shoot silent films?" Yang Yajing asked.
“Actually, it wasn’t like that at first.” Song Qi scratched his head and pointed to himself and Zhou Pengfei. “But our voices and tones were a bit stiff, and the dubbing didn’t feel as good as not dubbing.”
"Oh, I see!" Yang Yajing's eyes lit up as she thought of a way to bring Yu Ning in. "Next time you come, I'll bring someone with me. Her voice acting is definitely amazing!"
Yu Ning's movie is almost finished filming, and I've been feeling really bored lately!
She went to Zhou Pengfei's place with Yang Yajing and the others one weekend. She was familiar with Chen Jiaoyun's comics; Chen Jiaoyun would show them to her every time she finished drawing one.
Then Yu Ning would pretend to be a character from a comic book and act out the story for her, in a vivid and engaging way.
Song Qi suggested she try voice acting, and she picked up a story and immediately impersonated two characters. With the help of language, Song Qi felt that the stories suddenly came alive.
When the inspiration struck, his hands itched, and he couldn't wait to film all these stories.
So every Saturday, whenever they had time, what was originally a duo trip between Song Qi and Zhou Pengfei turned into a group of people making short films together.
Then Song Qi got a girlfriend, and the "five-person production team" became six people.
Yang Yajing has always referred to Song Qi as "Director Song," not only because Song Qi is their director, but also because in the near future, he will indeed become the youngest recipient of an international award in the Chinese film industry!
