As the film and television industry flourishes on the back of psionic power, Li Yi and his team understand that to keep this momentum going, it is crucial to continuously inject fresh blood into the industry and pass on the torch of psionic film and television. Thus, a meticulously planned talent development program covering multiple fields is launched in full swing, like a talent relay race under the dawn of a new era, carrying countless hopes and dreams.
As a cradle for new talent, the Psychic Film and Television Arts Academy shoulders a primary responsibility. Building upon its existing foundation, the academy has further optimized its training program, establishing the "Psychic Star" elite training program to select a group of highly promising students and provide them with comprehensive, customized, and in-depth training.
The selection process was rigorous and fair, bringing together young people from all over the country with dreams of filmmaking and budding psychic talents. They had to pass through layers of psychic skill tests, from basic psychic perception sensitivity to the ability to construct and manipulate complex psychic scenarios; they also had to undergo an artistic literacy assessment, covering knowledge and comprehension in acting, screenwriting, directing, and other areas. Ultimately, only a select few could stand out and step through the door to this path to elite status.
The selected students embarked on an intensive and fulfilling learning journey. In the field of psionic special effects production, the academy assigned them top-tier mentors. These mentors not only possess cutting-edge psionic special effects technology but also have extensive practical experience, having participated in the special effects production of numerous well-known film and television works. In addition to daily theoretical learning and equipment practice, the students were also assigned to participate in the special effects production of actual film and television projects, starting with simple auxiliary tasks and gradually accumulating experience. When creating special effects for a psionic science fiction short film, the students initially felt overwhelmed by the complex psionic particle system. However, under the careful guidance of their mentors, they gradually mastered the techniques and successfully created a stunning interstellar explosion scene, with psionic light radiating and debris flying everywhere, greatly enhancing the short film.
The acting students were immersed in the unique charm of psychic performance. They learned how to use psychic powers to precisely convey the emotions of their characters, making their performances more nuanced and realistic. The academy introduced a psychic emotional regression technique, allowing students to deeply experience the inner world of historical figures or fictional characters in specific situations, thus better interpreting the roles. One student, preparing to play an ancient psychic warrior, used the regression technique to genuinely feel the warrior's passion, loyalty, and tragedy on the battlefield. He incorporated this profound understanding into his performance, bringing the character to life and moving the audience.
To broaden students' horizons, the academy actively engages in exchanges and collaborations with film and television institutions in other civilizations across the universe. It regularly hosts interstellar cultural exchange events, inviting artists and scholars from extraterrestrial civilizations to lecture and share their film and television creation concepts and the application of psionic art from different cultural backgrounds. Students draw inspiration from these exchanges, incorporating diverse cultural elements into their own works, creating a series of unique psionic film and television productions that showcase the charm of cosmic cultural fusion.
In terms of practical experience in the film and television industry, Li Yi's team's film and television production company has established a dedicated training base for newcomers. This base undertakes various small-scale film and television projects, from psychic commercials to short dramas, providing newcomers with comprehensive hands-on opportunities. New directors take the helm here for the first time, carefully considering market demands and the preferences of psychic-era audiences from the initial topic selection and planning stages, meticulously crafting their scripts. During filming, they learn how to allocate psychic resources, coordinate the crew, and handle various emergencies. One new director encountered a malfunction in the psychic lighting equipment while filming a psychic romance short drama, hindering the shooting schedule. However, he remained calm and quickly organized the crew to repair the equipment, while simultaneously adjusting the shooting plan, using natural light and simple props to complete some key shots. Ultimately, after the short drama aired on an online platform, it received positive reviews, laying a solid foundation for his directing career.
New actors are also thriving at the training base. Starting with minor roles, they gradually earn opportunities for important supporting roles and even leading roles through their own efforts and psychic talents. During the filming of a psychic suspense drama, a previously unknown newcomer actor successfully portrayed a mysterious and unpredictable psychic detective through his profound understanding of the character and outstanding psychic performance. His brilliant performance made the audience remember his name and opened a new chapter in his acting career.
Meanwhile, seasoned veterans in the industry have also joined the ranks of those passing on their skills. They proactively serve as mentors to newcomers, generously sharing their invaluable experience accumulated over many years. These seniors not only provide guidance on professional skills but also teach by example regarding professional ethics and industry spirit. A veteran actor who has won numerous Lingneng Film and Television Awards regularly holds discussions with new actors, sharing his mindset and choices when facing setbacks and fame in his acting career, advising them to always maintain a love and reverence for acting, and helping newcomers avoid detours on their path to growth.
However, the path to nurturing new talent is not without its challenges. At the Psionic Film and Television Arts Academy, limited teaching resources often lead to insufficient equipment during practical exercises. For instance, when students majoring in Psionic Special Effects rendering large-scale scenes, the academy's computing power is insufficient, resulting in excessively long rendering times and impacting learning efficiency. To address this predicament, the academy actively applies for funding to purchase more advanced Psionic computing equipment. Furthermore, it collaborates with external Psionic technology companies, utilizing their idle computing resources to ensure students' learning needs are met.
At the new talent training base, the pressure of market competition also presents a significant challenge to newcomers. The film and television market is unpredictable, and audiences are becoming increasingly discerning, making it difficult for newcomers' works to stand out among numerous established productions. To help newcomers address this issue, Li Yi's team established a dedicated market research group to conduct in-depth analysis of audience preferences and market trends, providing advice on topics such as subject matter selection and production style. Simultaneously, they leveraged social media and online film and television platforms to increase the promotion and exposure of newcomers' works.
Despite numerous challenges, the talent development program is showing increasing success. A steady stream of promising new talents is emerging in the psychic film and television industry. Bringing innovative ideas and superb skills, they are active on the screen, injecting vitality into the industry. They inherit the spirit and skills of their predecessors, while simultaneously expanding the boundaries of psychic film and television with their unique creativity, propelling the entire industry towards higher levels of development. In the future, these newcomers will become the backbone of psychic film and television, writing even more brilliant chapters and allowing the brilliance of psychic film and television to shine brightly in the cosmic cultural landscape.
