I really don't want to make bad movies!

Zhang Jun had lost all sense of what heaven and earth were.

He rushes to work and attend events as soon as he opens his eyes every day.

Before I even left the set, my mentor called: "I've made a breakthrough! This time we'll definitely be able to film it!"

He developed dark circles under his eyes in just a few days, which startled his brother Liu Zike.

"Brother, what happened to you? Did you stay up all night for just one scene and look like this?"

Liu Zike patted two Transformers movie tickets: "Let's go, your favorite Transformers movie is showing, I'll treat you to a movie."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun shuddered and quickly shook his head: "I don't want to hear the words 'Transformers'."

"Dude, it's a Transformers toy, the real deal!"

"That's Transformers too!"

Liu Zike was dumbfounded. As a lighting technician, he really couldn't understand how a single shot could drive someone to this state.

"Is it really necessary?"

Zhang Jun, a cigarette dangling from his lips, muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over, "You don't understand. It's like the feeling of helplessness you get when you think you're facing the most challenging math problem on the high school entrance exam, only to find out it's a confirmation of the Riemann Hypothesis."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Liu Zike stared in disbelief as he sat down next to Zhang Jun.

"I don't know if you can understand this level of understanding."

Zhang Jun numbly turned his head to Liu Zike: "Before I asked my mentor to analyze the film, I knew that Xia Ming's shot was of a very high standard, but I never doubted my own abilities."

"However, when I consulted my master about film analysis and saw that even he was engrossed in it but couldn't find the answer, I couldn't help but start to doubt myself."

Liu Zike thought for a moment and replied, "Simply put, you know Xia Ming's scene was awesome, but you didn't know it was this awesome?"

Zhang Jun nodded indifferently, stomping his cigarette butt under his foot: "The more I listen to Master's analysis, the more powerless I feel. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Liu Zike clicked his tongue, stood up, and silently shook his head as he looked at his dejected friend.

He also knew a little about photography, but he couldn't see the depth in that one-shot sequence at all.

Perhaps it's because my understanding is not deep enough.

"We have another intense shoot in a couple of days. If you keep going like this, not only will you not be able to finish your work, but your body won't be able to take it either."

At this point, Zhang Jun helplessly raised his head: "Is it that I don't want to break free...? I've already recognized the gap in strength, but Master is stuck in this situation and insists on having me replicate the scene!"

"Why don't we just ask Xia Ming himself?"

Zhang Jun pounded his chest and stamped his feet: "The old man just couldn't bring himself to do it!"

"I went to find Xia Ming, but that kid is really busy. I can't even see him every day."

"That kid's movie became a hit, right? He's probably busy taking on gigs and making money these days."

"Fuck you! If this 'Big Hornet' movie makes money, I'll change my surname to yours!"

"This thing is just like a short video that goes viral out of nowhere; even the creator doesn't know how it became popular, so how can you expect to make money from it?"

Zhang Jun was furious and lit another cigarette: "I'm so angry!"

Liu Zike smiled without saying a word, and took out his phone to watch videos during a break in filming.

The "Big Hornet" video has been very popular these days, and he has watched a lot of parody videos of it.

It must be said that netizens have boundless imagination and the potential for secondary creation.

Liu Zike opened Bilibili and watched a few videos aimlessly before swiping his finger to jump to the trending list.

He had already watched the top-rated video analysis of "The Big Hornet" (a novel) and wanted to see if there were any other similar videos.

He scrolled down for a few seconds, and a video came into view.

Do you really understand giant wasps?

The video title piqued his interest.

Liu Zike searched around but couldn't find any headphones, so he simply played the music out loud.

"Hello everyone, this is Riyue's commentary..."

"The director uses the metaphor of the front and back of clothes to express that it is as easy for humans to degenerate into zombies as wearing clothes inside out. In just a moment, the brothers and sisters who were holding hands and talking happily with you just a second ago may degenerate into zombies who cannot distinguish between humans and animals."

Liu Zike chuckled, changed his posture, and continued reading.

"In this scene, the director didn't lack the lighting skills, but deliberately used blurry light to contrast the yellow earth outside the window, creating an atmosphere of impending apocalypse."

"In terms of camera movement, he first zoomed in on the subject while simultaneously increasing the focal length, using the camera to create the character's dizziness and helplessness in the face of the apocalypse..."

Liu Zike couldn't help but laugh more as he listened, and sent a comment while also saying, "What nonsense! Does Xia Ming even know he wants to film this way?"

"This explanation is quite interesting."

Liu Zike zoomed out of the video and realized that the content creator's name was Riyue Commentary.

Isn't this the same person who topped the trending list yesterday?

"He's got something."

Liu Zike silently clicked "follow".

At this moment, Zhang Jun, who had been smoking nearby, poked his head out and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"A humorous commentary," Liu Zike replied casually.

"A comedic commentary?"

Zhang Jun snatched his phone and dragged the progress bar forward.

"Regarding camera operation..."

Liu Zike couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're obsessed with this scene. You're just trying anything. You actually believe Lezi's commentary?"

"Shh! Don't make any noise!"

Zhang Jun raised his index finger with a serious expression, causing Liu Zike's smile to come to an abrupt end.

Listening to the sounds coming from the video, Zhang Jun took out his phone, found the script he had been studying for the past few days, and meticulously compared it step by step with a pen in hand.

"Actually, this scene was carefully designed by the director. The camera immediately went out of focus after leaving the pickup truck, allowing the two main actors to take the opportunity to bypass the camera position..."

A few comments floated across the screen: "This is ridiculous, it was clearly the cameraman's hand that was shaking."

[666 UP master, go fix Shang Yang, you can make everything right!]

"Did the actor walk around at that moment? Just in that instant?"

Looking at the notes in the script, Zhang Jun suddenly had an epiphany.

The video then began to explain the camera angles and positioning.

Given the poor quality of "The Big Hornet," no one in the comments section or bullet screen would believe these words.

Everyone just treated it as entertainment, to see what other tricks this "Sun and Moon Explainer" could pull off.

But the more Zhang Jun listened, the more something seemed off.

How come this random content creator with 40,000 followers speaks more eloquently than his own teacher?

The narrator didn't cover all the segments that were filmed in one continuous shot, as the video length is limited.

But Zhang Jun only heard part of it before letting out a long sigh, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

Got it!

I think I've got it!

The commentary was as clear as if he had the original script of the shot, explaining clearly the positioning, camera movement, focal length and other issues that had been bothering him for the past few days!

He clicked on the homepage of Sun and Moon Explanation in disbelief, but could not find any more information.

"Where did this extraterrestrial demon come from, even more powerful than Master?"

After scrolling down through the submissions for the Sun and Moon Commentary, Zhang Jun immediately frowned.

Bureau 849

The Great Era

The Fuchun River Dwelling Map

"..."

What kind of stuff are these?!

Isn't that a bit too high a standard of aesthetics?

"What's wrong? Why such a strong reaction?"

Liu Zike was completely bewildered: "Could it be that he really understood the giant wasp?"

Zhang Jun put down his phone and got up to pack up his equipment.

Liu Zike followed behind, asking, "Where are we going?"

"Where else can we go? Let's go back and film some more footage with Master." Zhang Jun said excitedly, "After watching this explanation of the sun and moon, I realized there were so many details in this scene that even Master and I didn't notice!"

"I have to convince my master to go find Xia Ming!"
