In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 5 The Lamp Master
A faint smile appeared on Qin Xuan's lips; this was the first time he had smiled so knowingly since his rebirth.

His gaze then locked onto the monitor, his fingertip pointing to the edge of her fluffy hair: "There's color bleeding here."

Then his finger moved to the left and right shoulder lines in the picture: "It's here too, the most common part."

"Then how should we solve this?" Bao Dexi asked subconsciously.

At first he had some doubts, but after a series of arrangements and adjustments, he has put away his contempt.

The main reason is that they genuinely have that talent.

"It's very faint. If you're concerned, you can add a low-power backlight. The light should ideally be a light blue to simulate skylight, and the color temperature should match the environment. That should be enough to cover it up," Qin Xuan said.

Peter Wang immediately had backlighting installed in the performance area, which eliminated the color bleeding on the actors.

After observing for a while, I noticed that the green screen was clean and shadowless, the light source was soft and even, there was no color bleeding at the edges of the actors, and the ripples on the oscilloscope were also balanced.

"Gentlemen, the debugging is basically complete. Let's see if there are any problems." Qin Xuan turned to look at the three of them.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Peter Wang looked at the other two: "What do you think, Director Bao and the director?"

"Great, we can shoot it with this effect." Peter Pau expressed his satisfaction.

“I have no problem with that either.” Minkov nodded.

He is only responsible for filming; these professional technical issues are not his forte.

The crew members each had their own roles and the production was not centered around the director. This is not to say that Hollywood does not have a production model centered around the director.

Rather, it's because Minkoff's prestige doesn't reach that level, unless it's a director like Spielberg or Cameron.

It's very simple, who are you to film according to your own ideas?
This movie centers on Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Jet Li, exploiting their fans, and incidentally bringing Liu Yifei along.

So the movie didn't bring her any benefits; instead, it was criticized as a bad movie by Chinese people.

Seeing that there were no problems, Peter Wang placed a heavy hand on Qin Xuan's shoulder: "You've worked hard. Your future is limitless."

Being able to arrange the lighting effects well saved him a lot of effort, which was originally a headache for him.

"It's not hard work, it's all what I should do."

They all laughed. Peter Wang thought highly of him, "If you're interested, you can come to Hollywood with me after this movie is finished and become my assistant."

“Yes, there are few domestic productions using full green screen lighting and special effects. You could go to Hollywood for a few years to hone your skills; there are more opportunities there, and you'll have better career prospects when you come back,” Peter Pau suggested.

There aren't many film crews shooting special effects here, so there are more opportunities in Hollywood. Having this experience will give you a better chance than others.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but to be honest, these kinds of lighting effects aren't what I'm after in life," Qin Xuan politely declined.

How could he possibly go with them? Even if he did, he'd still just be working odd jobs; there's no point.

"So what do you want to do?" Peter Wang asked.

"To be frank, I'd like to make a film or television production; lighting design is just a hobby of mine," Qin Xuan said calmly.

These words silenced everyone around. Even professionals would have to ponder this for a long time, but it was just someone else's hobby.

If you say he's faking it, he does have the ability and demonstrated it to you; if you say he's not faking it, he speaks with such seriousness, as if it were true.

“It’s not that we’re trying to discourage you, but given your current situation, do you really want to get involved in film and television production? It’s going to be tough!” Peter Pau poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Without formal training or connections, how could he possibly make movies or TV shows? It's not just about having talent; you need to find funding and build a team. It involves a lot of networking and navigating social dynamics, but this young man doesn't seem to have much of that. Making movies and TV shows is a very unsavory business.

The main reason is that Qin Xuan has always been very meticulous and has not shown much humility.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Now that the lighting is set up, let's get ready to shoot!"

Wang Peter changed the subject and then said to Qin Xuan, "You go ahead, you don't need to film."

"Okay, then let's talk about the technical service fee." Qin Xuan hadn't forgotten about the money.

The main problem is that he is currently penniless and needs money.

Peter Wang was both amused and exasperated by his bluntness. "Are you really that poor?"
"Don't worry, I'll apply for it for you after this movie is finished. The director is here, what are you afraid of?"

"Alright then." Qin Xuan didn't say anything more.

He doesn't know this director at all, and hasn't said a word about him since.

This director is most famous for marrying a 76th-generation descendant of Confucius, which is why he became a guest of honor in China's art and literature circles.

The movies he made were all terrible, but he was somewhat famous for participating in animated films such as "The Lion King" and "Mr. Peabody & Sherman".

After Qin Xuan left, Minkov asked, "Where did you find this person?"

“We didn’t hire him; it was the nephew of a technician on the film crew who came here looking for work. We thought his lighting ideas were quite good, so we used his plan,” Wang Peter said without hiding anything.

“No wonder.” Minkov nodded.

Now that the lighting and props are all set up and the actors are ready, the crew is starting filming.

Having completed her task, Liu Yifei, seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, walked up to Wang Peter and asked with curious eyes, "Director Wang, was that person your apprentice? Why didn't you introduce him?"

"No, how could I take him on? He's far more capable than me." Peter Wang could tell at a glance that the man was no ordinary person and was definitely not self-taught.

Many of the inexplicable problems that lighting encounters are not found in textbooks, but other people have solutions for them.

All I can say is that if they don't do this often, they must have been educated by a highly skilled person. As for which situation it is, there's no need to delve into it, and they won't say anyway.

"There are people even more capable than you!"

Liu Yifei's almond-shaped eyes widened, she gave a thumbs up, and joked, "Aren't you a genie?"

"Go away, go away, what genie?" Peter Wang pushed her arm, telling her to get away.

This was a joke some people in the crew played on him, a nickname they gave him, which then became a topic of conversation for some.

Liu Yifei smiled brightly. Being naturally outgoing, she leaned closer and asked, "Is that person really even more capable than you?"

“There are plenty of talented people in this world, it’s not surprising that some are more capable than me.” Peter Wang glanced at her, completely unconcerned, and then left.

Liu Yifei stood there in a daze for a while, then shrugged and went back to filming.

This scene is a fight scene, where the protagonists and antagonists fight in a cherry blossom forest, with the actors hanging from wires and swinging back and forth like on swings.

The background behind was entirely a green screen.

Because it was a big production, Wu Guoqiang naturally had to work, so he didn't have time to look for his nephew.
