Chapter 1042: Different paths lead to the same destination, never experienced the hardship of going to school
“To put it bluntly, the problem we encountered was the sense of fragmentation in the visual narrative, which is also very common in filmmaking, especially when there are multiple narrative lines and the images and emotions cannot be naturally connected.

The solution is simple, using 'water' as a visual and emotional link, just like using the language of the lens in a movie to smoothly connect the stories. Of course, Brother Yu, I don't understand a lot of the technology, so see if what I say can help you. "

Li Mu said as he quickly drew a simple structural diagram with the marker in his hand.

"Didn't the TV series say that all martial arts have different paths leading to the same destination? Director Li, what do you think?"

Yu Jianping responded cheerfully.

This response made everyone, who were originally serious, laugh a little, and the slightly tense atmosphere eased a lot.

“The holographic bridge can be seen as the main narrative line in the film, and water is the lens language that helps us advance the story.

Each change in the water flow is actually equivalent to a 'transition shot', helping the audience feel the flow of time and space."

Li Mu paused and pointed to the three parts in the picture.

“First is ‘West Lake’. We want to use the static water surface to show the tranquility of Jiangnan, just like the slow-motion shot at the beginning of a movie, using a calm picture to introduce the story;

Next is the Qiantang Tide, which requires the impact of the transition shot. The dynamic effect of the waves is like a climax scene, bringing visual shock;
The last one is the 'Canal', which combines lights and water mist to create a magnificent visual effect, just like the ending of a movie, leaving a deep impression on the audience."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he paused for a moment, mainly because he needed to give everyone time to think and then discuss.

Yu Jianping thought for a moment and frowned, "Director Li, the concept is very inspiring, but our biggest problem now is that the dynamic water flow will increase technical pressure, especially in the process of combining the stage and the hologram, stability is the biggest risk."

Li Mu nodded and turned to the whiteboard, "I know this, so we have to process it like a movie, with different shots.

The dynamic water flow does not need to be rendered throughout the entire process, but rather it can be "narrated in segments" to compress the technical pressure to the most critical nodes.

For example, the 'West Lake' section only requires slight ripples; the 'Qiantang Tide' section focuses on the power of the tide; and the 'Canal' section is completed in a combination of static and dynamic ways.

Just like the rhythm control of a movie, some parts need to be fast and some parts need to be slow.”

What Li Mu said was extremely easy to understand, especially for many people who have studied directing.

Gao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Director Li, can we handle it like the storyboards for a movie? This way, the technical requirements for each segment will indeed be reduced, and the transition will be more natural!"

"Yes!" Li Mu smiled and nodded. "In addition, in order to enhance the 'sense of connection' of the bridge, the concept of 'reverse shot' can be added - a layer of flowing light and shadow can be projected on the 'bridge' to simulate the reverberation of water waves. The audience's sight will be naturally guided to the fusion point of the bridge and the water, just like the light and lens language in the movie guide the audience's attention."

The meeting room was silent for a moment, and then applause broke out in the Tencent meeting: "Director Li, this method is so cinematic! It is completely from the perspective of film creation to solve technical problems. I have done so many events, and I personally think that your solution should be feasible!"

At this time, technical director Yu Jianping nodded, unable to hide his amazement: "We really didn't think of this idea at the beginning. Using the segmentation and transition of film language to break down the problem not only retains creativity but also reduces technical pressure.

Director Li, you can definitely change your career and come to our industry where you are a real industry expert."

"Director Yu, what are you talking about? Are you trying to kidnap our chief director?"

Seeing this, Gao Yan probably realized that the problem was most likely solved, and couldn't help but make a joke.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it.

"I don't think your Director Li will agree to this. He's a big director, but if he does a technical job, the fans will drool over it."

"Hahaha" After such a joke, the atmosphere in the meeting room became lively, and the originally stalemate discussion turned into a constructive brainstorming session.

Everyone is expressing their opinions and perfecting some potential risk points.

Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the idea was retained in the end.

Every director is a perfectionist, and he is no exception. It is his responsibility to retain the best creativity and give the audience the best visual experience.

After resolving this matter, Li Mu had nothing to do for a while. Now he basically started to complete the film list and select the performers.

With the choreography and other teams in place, Li Mu doesn't need to worry too much. He only needs to be responsible for the overall structure, and the rest will be carried out by the executors.

Li Mu also planned to take the opportunity to return to the imperial capital, as he still had a long time to spend in Hangzhou, especially during the stage rehearsal and a month before the opening, he basically had to stay there.

In August in BJ, the sky is like a hot iron plate, baked hot by the scorching sun.

Li Mu came out of the airport and quickly pulled Liu Yifei into the car.

Because only in the car, with the air conditioner on, is the temperature like in another world.

The car sped along the fast city roads. Liu Yifei sat in the passenger seat and looked at Li Mu, "So the little kid is definitely going to North Second Primary School?"

"Let's just go here, there's no need to bother. Xuanxuan is here too, we can get along well. We need to get to know our new partner first."

Li Mu nodded. The little boy had already graduated from kindergarten, so naturally, primary school matters were imminent.

Fortunately, this is not a big deal and can be easily solved.

If you look for international schools and high-end private schools, the problem can be solved faster.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded slightly.

When he got home, Li Mu saw that the little boy had started running around with his new schoolbag on his back. Li Mu was a little surprised.

Liu Yifei was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw this. "Ever since she knew she was going to elementary school, she has been asking me to buy her a new school bag. It's only been a few days since she bought it, and she's been so excited all day long."

"I still haven't experienced the hardship of going to school." Li Mu sighed.

"Haha, nonsense, how can going to school be hard!" Liu Yifei heard this and scolded, "Don't teach her bad things."

"Dad, does it look good?"

The little girl ran over and turned around deliberately, causing the schoolbag behind her to shake. It was obvious that she wanted Li Mu to praise her new schoolbag.

The newly bought schoolbag is pink, with a lifelike little white rabbit embroidered in the middle and a few sparkling stars dotted in its ears. When it smiles, it looks so lively that it seems like it will jump out of the bag.

"My mom picked this out for me. She said it's a first-rate little school bag and it's waterproof! It's also great for rainy days!"
My mother also wrote my name, 'Li Yisheng', so that I can find it back even if I lose it."
