Voting for the three trailers of "Xian Tu"
"You can do that, too?"
Xuan Ji was shocked: "What on earth can't you do?!"
Shen Xiu explained: “A little bit.”
Their class was originally a film and television culture class that was subdivided from the Chinese Department. Although the courses were not in-depth, they learned a little bit about Chinese and film and television editing.
The teachers are basically professors or associate professors. They have worked as instructors, directors, and screenwriters in various major film and television crews. Some even have their own film and television culture studios. They are very experienced and teach seriously and carefully.
As long as there are people in the class who study hard, everyone will be able to learn it.
Xuan Ji: “…”
Shen Xiu's calm appearance is definitely not as simple as "knowing a little bit".
He bet fifty cents, he must be a billionaire!
"Ahem..." Thinking that he had never properly learned editing, and only asked the editor in charge of editing to teach him when he was hanging out with his father on the crew, Xuan Ji coughed awkwardly a few times and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Compared with the editors on the crew, everyone said he was great, and he also thought he was great.
But when Shen Xiuyi wanted to compete with him, Xuan Ji felt like a balloon pricked by a needle, stuck to the ground.
With Xuan Ji's permission, Shen Xiu looked at the editor team leader who was wearing a work badge around his neck.
"Hello, Team Leader Liu."
The head of the editing team didn't expect Shen Xiu to recognize him. When he was cueed, he was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he spoke nervously: "Hello, hello."
After asking how are you, Team Leader Liu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead that had instantly appeared due to fear.
I was afraid that Shen Xiu would shout that I was picking on myself.
Shen Xiu even dared to mock Xuan Ji, the chief director, bluntly and mercilessly, so he, the team leader, was nothing in Shen Xiu's eyes.
"Excuse me, what content do we need to edit for the trailer?"
Chen Xiu didn't know what the regular editing process was. He was used to writing out the content to be edited according to the logic of the script before editing, and then editing accordingly, which was much easier.
He was confused after watching Xuan Ji's clip last night.
Team leader Liu: “…”
Just asking this? He was scared to death!
Arriving at his professional field, Team Leader Liu relaxed, walked to the computer where he was working, leaned over, held the mouse on the table and clicked on one of the many screens on the desktop.
He said to Shen Xiu: "This is the script for the trailer."
Trailers are not meant to be too long, so the storyboard script isn’t long either.
Shen Xiu looked over and saw only one page on the computer.
"Thanks."
Shen Xiu saw the name on the workstation and asked Team Leader Liu: "I need to borrow your workstation, is that okay?"
Team Leader Liu: “Of course!”
"Thank you." Shen Xiu thanked him again before sitting down.
"Hahaha, you're welcome." Chen Xiu's politeness made Team Leader Liu feel happy, and he no longer had the anxiety he had at the beginning about being picked on by Chen Xiu.
As soon as Chen Xiu sat down, a group of people followed Xuan Ji silently, and surrounded Chen Xiu through Xuan Ji.
Sensing the gazes of the people behind him, Shen Xiu: "......"
Not having the courage to ask others to leave, Shen Xiu could only pretend not to notice the gazes of the people behind him, and concentrate on looking at the relatively small computer screen, remembering the words on it.
Two minutes later, Shen Xiu memorized the trailer storyboard by heart, holding the mouse in one hand and the keyboard in the other, and began editing...
Being able to see Shen Xiu, who is said to be omnipotent by the cultivators, editing the film himself, the onlookers looked at Shen Xiu and the screen with great concentration.
Xuan Ji murmured in confusion, "Ten minutes have passed, and you haven't even looked at the script once? Aren't you afraid of making a mistake in editing?"
He remembered that he was watching while cutting.
“No filter at all?”
“It would be better to use slow motion here, so that the audience can feel the emotional tug between them more intuitively.”
"Looking into each other's eyes under the moon and flowers, wouldn't it be more lively if there was some music?"
"How can Li Yang's appearance not have a powerful background music? I don't understand!"
Team leader Liu: “…”
He apologized for calling Chen Xiu a sharp-tongued person, and he didn't even sew Xuan Ji's mouth shut. Chen Xiu really has such a good temper!
Not only Team Leader Liu thought so, but the other staff members also thought so.
Xuan Dao kept muttering like this without stopping, but Shen Xiu was not affected at all.
As expected of a big boss, his self-control is really strong.
In order to avoid being affected by his thoughts, Shen Xiu got used to automatically blocking out all surrounding sounds once he started editing.
Therefore, Shen Xiu had no idea what the people behind him said while he was editing.
Thirty minutes later, Shen Xiu exported and saved the edited trailer, stopped what he was doing, and stood up.
"Cut..." Shen Xiu spoke while turning around, but before he could finish his words, he saw a group of people standing behind him, and the words in his mouth were stuck in his throat for a moment.
In order to ease the nervousness caused by being frightened, Shen Xiu looked at Xuan Ji, who he was most familiar with, and then he could speak: "Okay."
Everyone saw Shen Xiu stand up and turn around, saying a word, then deliberately paused, looked at Xuan Ji with a cold gaze, looked at Xuan Ji meaningfully for two seconds, and then coldly said the word "OK".
This was clearly a deliberate attempt to point out Xuan Ji.
Chen Xiu must have been the same as them. When he was editing, he felt speechless when he heard Xuan Ji's self-righteous words.
After Shen Xiu's nervousness eased, he finally had the courage to look at Team Leader Liu.
"I see the trailer you cut on the table. Can I take a look at it?"
Ever since Chen Xiu watched the trailer edited by Xuan Ji that was on the hot search last night, he still doesn't understand why the editing team's work was snatched away by director Xuan Ji.
Could it be that Xuan Ji's editing skills are higher than the team leader of the editing team?
Shen Xiu didn't quite believe it. Team Leader Liu was older than them, had been in the industry longer, and must have more editing experience than him and Xuan Ji.
Shen Xiu, who was curious, asked shamelessly after seeing the film edited by Team Leader Liu and the trailer.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to."
Team Leader Liu: “Of course I am willing!”
He thought his efforts would be buried.
Xuan Ji muttered, "You two's editing is almost the same, too rigid, it's just that you use different pictures, how can people really like it?"
"All the trailers nowadays are edited like mine. I don't understand why I get the most criticism when my editing is similar to everyone else's."
Team leader Liu: “…”
Even though Team Leader Liu and the editing team knew that Xuan Ji was telling the truth, but... their crew was different from other crews.
There is Chen Xiu, a big shot who has raised the expectations of netizens from the very beginning in "Xiantu", and there is also Keta, an investor with plenty of money brought in by Chen Xiu.
With Kota, "Xian Tu" didn't have to worry about funding and invited countless veteran actors and directors, turning it from a web drama into a super S+ production.
Earlier, when Shen Xiu finished filming, the styling trailer released raised everyone’s expectations for “Xian Tu” infinitely.
With such high expectations, it would be strange if netizens who have been waiting for a long time did not curse after seeing the various death filter trailers that are no different from previous ancient idol dramas.
Even though the audience eats too much bad food, it doesn’t mean that they don’t want to eat good food.
In response to Xuan Ji's words, Liu, the team leader of the editing team, remained silent, and the other editors naturally remained silent as well.
Assistant Director Zhao Heng didn't say anything either, and the room fell into a strange silence.
Shen Xiu: “…”
It seems that Xuan Ji's ability to silence people is comparable to his.
Chen Xiu had experienced this kind of embarrassment before. After being caught in the rain, he silently held up an umbrella for Xuan Ji and spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Team Leader Liu, which one should I look at first, yours or mine?"
Team Leader Liu said, "Of course it's yours."
Shen Xiu nodded: "Okay."
Team leader Liu suddenly spoke up: "There are twelve of us here. As the trailer editor, I, Shen Xiu and Xuan Dao, the three of us will not participate in the vote. The other nine will vote anonymously and vote for the trailer to be shown today. How do you think?"
The format of the trailer was discussed by everyone, and because Xuan Ji had the final say, the entire crew of "Xian Tu" was criticized as well.
It is impossible for Team Leader Liu not to feel any resentment in his heart.
But he didn't dare say it out loud and could only speak sarcastically.
Xuan Ji nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Xiu: “…Okay.”
Xuan Ji is really brave to be able to work as an editor in a film crew, with rich work experience and to be so confident in front of a group of experienced seniors!
Chen Xiu changed his mind and thought about editing the play he acted in, and he would have to watch it with everyone later, which made him feel even more embarrassed.
Therefore, after Shen Xiu responded with a "yes", he quietly moved behind everyone while everyone's eyes were on the screen to reduce his embarrassment.
The trailer edited by Shen Xiu was the first to play. Although the trailer was only one and a half minutes long, in this short one and a half minutes, when it was Shen Xiu's turn, he was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled and he dared not look directly at it.
He was afraid that people would think that the shots he edited for himself were too narcissistic.
The second one is from Team Leader Liu.
Although there are scenes of his own in it, they are not edited by himself. Shen Xiu deceives himself that it has nothing to do with him, so he watches it seriously.
After watching the editing by Team Leader Liu, Shen Xiu silently voted for Team Leader Liu.
The third group plays the Xuanji version.
Before this, everyone here had been tortured by Xuanji's version countless times, but when it happened again, they still felt that their eyes were severely stung.
In the same short one and a half minutes, whether it was Chen Xiu's version or Team Leader Liu's version, they both aroused their anticipation to varying degrees.
Only Xuan Ji's version made them feel that every minute and every second was a torture to their eyes, and every second felt like a year.
“Ahem.”
As the assistant director, Zhao Heng didn't want everyone's efforts to go to waste because of Xuan Ji alone.
Now there is only a small trailer being interfered with by Xuan Ji. If Xuan Ji is not punished, how long will it take for the main film to be ruined?
Zhao Heng coughed and took out the paper and pen that he had asked the staff to bring him.
"Everyone, give them a piece of paper and a pen. Keep it anonymous. Rank them 123 in the order they were played. Vote for whichever one you like."
Fearing that everyone was still afraid of Xuan Ji, Zhao Heng looked at Shen Xiu and hinted to everyone when handing out paper and pens.
The people here have worked in many film crews and are all very skilled.
If not for this, they would not have been so blindly indulgent towards Xuan Ji even though they knew that Xuan Ji was Xuan Yushu's son, and would not have agreed to whatever Xuan Ji said.
It is naturally the same at this moment. Shen Xiu is superior to Xuan Ji, so they will naturally not continue to turn a blind eye in front of Shen Xiu when Shen Xiu is more outstanding.
"Okay."
"clear."
"Tsk, this is too hard to choose."
"Ah, yes, yes, hahaha..."
Zhao Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard everyone laughing while slyly avoiding other people's sight while writing down their answers.
"What do you choose?" Xuan Ji, who had no right to vote, moved closer to Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng's hand trembled just as he was about to write: "......"
Being stared at by Xuan Ji, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"No, nothing, hahaha, I haven't made up my mind yet. They're all so outstanding, I can't choose. I'm struggling with this."
Having said that, Zhao Heng pretended to be conflicted and left Xuan Ji calmly.
After three minutes, everyone folded the paper with their answers and placed it on the table.
"Who did you choose?"
"Who did you choose again?"
"Why rush? You'll know in a moment."
After handing in their answers, everyone tried to test each other, but they were all smart people, and under the protection of anonymity, no one would reveal themselves in front of the three of them, as this would easily offend the other two.
And...there are nine of them, so someone will definitely be chosen to promote it.
No matter what, Xuan Ji is the director after all, so we have to give him some face.
Zhao Heng said: "I will do the counting. Do you have any objections?"
Shen Xiu: “No.”
"No." Team leader Liu followed closely.
Xuan Ji also said, "No."
Three minutes later, Zhao Heng finished the statistics.
Looking at the statistical results, Zhao Heng didn't dare to look at Xuan Ji.
Xuan Ji was getting anxious waiting. Seeing that Zhao Heng had clearly finished the statistics but didn't say anything, he urged him, "Hurry up and tell me."
Zhao Heng: "...Shen Xiu's version received 6 votes, and Liu Qing received 3 votes."
“The results of this vote are as follows.”
He didn't want to do it, it was Xuan Ji who urged him to do it.
But... Zhao Heng didn't expect that no one voted for Xuan Ji.
When he voted for others, he was thinking about the nine of them, and someone would always vote for Xuan Ji.
Now it seems that he was thinking too much.
Xuan Ji: “?”
"Zhao Heng, did you make a mistake in your calculations?"
The nine people who voted: “???”
Is it such a coincidence that the nine of them had the same idea? !
After the voting results were announced, none of the nine people, including Zhao Heng, dared to look at Xuan Ji.
They expected Xuan Ji to lose miserably, but they never expected that Xuan Ji would lose so miserably.
As the person who proposed this vote, Team Leader Liu pretended to look down at the ground, feeling secretly happy but guilty at the same time.
Although he was not selected, the selected version of Shen Xiu was indeed more appealing than his, and he was convinced.
No one chose himself, it would be a lie to say Xuan Ji was not defeated.
"Why?" Xuan Ji looked at the others.
No one looked at him, and no one paid any attention to him, so Xuan Ji could only look at Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu felt that if he lowered his head any further, Xuan Ji would be too embarrassed.
Ask: "What why?"
The cold "what why" was like a basin of cold water poured over Xuan Ji from head to toe, calming his heated mind.
What Chen Xiu meant must be saying - it's already so obvious, he's so bad, everyone is aware of it, is there any need to ask why?
Xuan Ji: “…”
Wow, is his food that bad? !
Xuan Ji was not convinced by what his father said. His father was able to work in a small crew and then became a big director. He is his father's child, so is he really that bad?
Even if his own father talked about him, Xuan Ji would just turn a deaf ear to it, not to mention that no one in the crew talked about Xuan Yushu.
Everyone says that Shen Xiu is powerful and has strong abilities. As someone of the same age as Shen Xiu and who has experienced Shen Xiu's abilities, Shen Xiu is different for Xuan Ji.
Xuan Ji could listen to Shen Xiu's words.
Xuan Ji felt even sadder after hearing this.
"I see what you mean..."
Shen Xiu: “?”
"Are you sure?"
If I remember correctly, he was the one asking Xuan Ji "what and why". Xuan Ji did not answer his question, but instead explained what he meant. Shen Xiu felt confused.
As expected, he is worst at talking to people.
Xuan Ji heard Shen Xiu's emphatic question, his face became even more embarrassed, and he raised his hands to cover his face: "Really, really, I really understand!"
So don’t ask anymore and embarrass him again!
Shen Xiu: “…Okay.”
The people who felt guilty but could secretly prick up their ears and eat melons: "!"
As expected of Chen Xiu, with just two cold and ruthless questions, Xuan Ji was able to break down his defense but accept his own incompetence.
Xuan Ji raised his head and rubbed his hair, and said anxiously: "Chen Xiu, then tell me, what should I do so that the videos I edit can be recognized by others like you and Team Leader Liu?"
They both had tickets, except him.
The more Xuan Ji thought about it, the more depressed he became.
Hearing this question, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the question was about something he knew. Shen Xiu told Xuan Ji his method: "It's very simple, just follow what the teacher said, watch more, learn more, and practice more."
Everyone was choked by Shen Xiu's words.
What teacher, what read more and learn more, the whole crew knows that Xuan Ji didn’t even go to college!
As expected, he is called the Great Demon King Xiu, so cruel!
Xuan Ji: “…” How did Shen Xiu know that he didn’t even go to college? !
Xuan Ji covered his chest, feeling like vomiting blood, and took a few steps back, looking at Shen Xiu with a wronged look.
Shen Xiu: “?”
"What's wrong?"
The light question coming out of Shen Xiu's mouth was full of lethality.
Xuan Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, nothing."
Shen Xiu never mentioned reading, but he was hinting at him reading more, which was definitely saying that he was a fool.
He thought that after passing the exam, it didn't matter whether he went to college or not. Even if he didn't, he could still make a name for himself like his father.
Now that he was ruthlessly sent flying by Chen Xiu one after another, Xuan Ji felt very regretful.
Shen Xiu: “…Yeah.”
He was increasingly confused about what Xuan Ji was thinking.
Since he couldn't figure Xuan Ji out, Shen Xiu decided to take the initiative into his own hands and ask Xuan Ji what he wanted to know.
“Why do you want to work for the editing team?”
Team leader Liu wiped away a handful of bitter tears in his heart. It had to be Chen Xiu who was not afraid of Xuan Ji at all and still remembered to seek justice for them.
Xuan Ji's body was stabbed with knives by Shen Xiu, and he was numb from the pain from head to toe.
Youyou said: "If you have an idea in your mind, just do it..."
He also didn't expect that the 'fake' trailer he made on a whim would cause netizens to scold him to the point of breaking down.
He wanted Chen Xiu to comfort him, but Chen Xiu's sharp words made him even more defensive.
Xuan Jisheng was disappointed: "I thought I could also be a good editor."
Xuan Ji's eyes fell on Team Leader Liu and the editors, then looked at Shen Xiu.
"Is it really impossible for me to do this?"
Shen Xiu himself is still a student and has never worked as an editor, let alone being qualified to judge Xuan Ji's level from the perspective of an editor.
Shen Xiu spoke the truth: "It's hard for me to comment on different fields."
Xuan Ji: “?”
If you want him to be a director, why not just do it well and not try to steal the editor's job?
Xuan Ji covered his heart, feeling the urge to kneel down to Shen Xiu.
Starting today, if anyone says that Shen Xiu is not the Great Devil, he will be angry with that person!
After being repeatedly attacked, Xuan Ji felt hopeless: "I understand."
Not being asked to comment again, Shen Xiu's anxious mood calmed down.
"Thank you, Chen Xiu. Thank you very much. Now I know what I should do."
Although Xuan Ji felt uncomfortable after being stabbed in the heart repeatedly, he was also enlightened by Chen Xiu.
Xuan Ji rubbed his head vigorously, which was swollen and painful from the stimulation. After his mind became clearer, he looked at Zhao Heng.
"Have the publicity and promotion staff prepare to release all the versions edited by Team Leader Shen Xiuliu and me. Don't reveal who edited them at first. Wait until netizens' curiosity is aroused before announcing them."
"Let's set up a vote below and let netizens participate."
Anyway, they are just 'fake' trailers, so what's the harm in having a few more?
Let netizens vote and compare again, the popularity will only increase, not decrease, which will help netizens actively make reservations after the release date is set.
This is the only thing he can do for "Xiantu".
And… he must not be left alone to be shocked by what Shen Xiuhui edited!
Zhao Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."
After being scolded for "The Path to Immortality", he deliberately mentioned Shen Xiu in front of Xuan Ji, asking Xuan Ji to invite Shen Xiu over, and it turned out to be the right decision.
Although Xuan Ji is naive in many things, he is a great contributor to the popularity of "Xian Tu". After all, black and red is also another kind of red, and it is better to be controversial than to not make any splash at all.
"Chen Xiu, let's go. I'll treat you to a feast!"
After saying that, Xuan Ji blushed. Shen Xiu had eaten all kinds of good things. What he said was no different from brandishing a sword in front of Guan Gong.
Shen Xiu would laugh at him!
Shen Xiu nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Rather than being surrounded by a group of strangers here, he would rather have dinner with Xuan Ji, who he was more familiar with.
Xuan Ji: “!”
Woohoo, Chen Xiu is a really good person. As long as he listens to advice, Chen Xiu's attitude towards him will really improve.
Xuan Ji looked at the people who were dragged down by him and bowed: "I'm sorry, I was too proud and didn't know what was good for me!"
"What are you talking about?"
"No, no."
"That's right, I'm telling you that you're serious."
"Haha, that's right, that's too serious."
Everyone laughed it off and didn't take Xuan Ji's apology too seriously.
After Shen Xiuxuan and Zhao Heng left, only the editing team was left in the room.
We are all acquaintances and have worked together for a long time. There are no outsiders around, so we are no longer as cautious and fearful when speaking as before.
"It's too difficult, too difficult. Whether it's meditation or propaganda, they don't do anything. They just stand there, which makes people feel uneasy."
"Xuan Dao has his father, and Xiu Boss is a boss himself. He looks difficult to serve."
After listening to everyone's words, Team Leader Liu smiled.
"Let me ask you this: there are two types of bosses in front of you right now."
"The first type has a good temper, but they are pretentious and have not finished their education. They often cause trouble due to their blind confidence, causing the entire team to suffer. The early efforts are wasted, and they are likely to lead their subordinates to stay where they are or even regress."
"The second type is well-read and talented, but has a cold temper and is always decisive and ruthless in his words, but reliable in his work. It's not a problem for you to rise up with him."
"Which of these two types of people do you prefer as your boss?"
Team leader Liu did not mention Chen Xiu and Xuan Ji in any sentence, but every word hinted at them.
The team members understood immediately.
Everyone answered without hesitation: "Of course the second one!"
Although they keep saying that they would rather be a poor fish for the rest of their lives, if they want to be promoted and earn more money, they will of course choose to earn enough money first without hesitation.
Liu Zu didn't agree or deny it, he just laughed a few times: "Hahaha..."
"Alright, alright, stop chatting nonsense and quickly give these three videos to the operations and promotion department. Don't delay the director's orders. After all, he is the chief director."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll pack it up and send it to them."
When the new trailer of "Xian Tu" was criticized, the official Weibo of "Xian Tu" suddenly released three trailers at once.
