Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

While waiting for Wang Jianjun, Shen Fei explained the direction of the subsequent filming to Zhou Jiahui.

The environment on Su Street in Textile City is very nice, and there are many scripts that can be written there.

For example, it could be made into a special feature exploring old industrial relics from a cat's perspective.

Just like the "Exploring Old Factories" short video series that went viral at the end of 2018, which relied on a first-person immersive tour of old factory areas to showcase abandoned workshops, Soviet-style red brick buildings, old machine tools, and other content, it directly brought the old factory areas of the 80s to the forefront, making them popular tourist destinations and popular spots for internet celebrities to check in.

......

Soon, Wang Jianjun brought Ultraman down.

Shen Fei stepped forward and asked, "Brother Jun, is the camera all set up?"

"Mr. Shen, it's all settled. I've had some experience with this action camera before."

Hearing that everything went smoothly, Shen Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Jianjun's job was photography, the workload of shooting in a small county town... well, let's not even talk about it.

This action camera was specially bought by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation for Ultraman to use. It is very small, only the size of a thumb, not counting the expansion compartment, hence the nickname "thumb camera".

This action camera is designed specifically for pets. It is attached to the neck with a magnetic necklace, and with its small and exquisite appearance, it looks like a small accessory.

Shen Fei took the phone from Wang Jianjun; the screen displayed live footage transmitted from the action camera.

The camera angle is very low, almost touching the ground. As the orange cat "Ultraman" moves, the picture shakes slightly, full of a peculiar dynamism.

"That's right, that's the feeling." Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction.

He patted Wang Jianjun on the shoulder: "Brother Jun, just follow behind and use your phone to take some behind-the-scenes photos from a distance, paying attention to capturing its back view and its interaction with the environment."

"Okay, Mr. Shen." Wang Jianjun gave an OK sign and immediately got to work.

Zhou Jiahui stood to the side, looking at the chubby orange cat with a small camera hanging around its neck, and then at the serious-looking boss, completely bewildered.

She really couldn't understand how a cat could possibly be photographed just by wandering around on its own.

"Boss... are we... just going to follow it like this?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Fei glanced at her and retorted, "You want to design its movements and plan its route?"

"That's not what I meant..." Zhou Jiahui blushed and muttered softly, "It just felt... a bit too casual."

Shen Fei smiled but didn't say anything.

Actually, it's not impossible to design the movement. In my past life, many people used catnip to lure people, but those videos always lacked a bit of inspiration and surprise.

To create truly great pet videos, a person must work with the pet to imbue it with their own spirit. Therefore, operating a pet video account requires a high level of personal creativity.

You must combine footage from your cat's daily life with your creative work; the quality of the video depends on the creativity of the script.

This is also why Shen Fei is optimistic about Zhou Jiahui. As for whether Zhou Jiahui can handle the job, it depends on the inspiration for editing the subsequent video footage.

Wang Jianjun was operating a drone to film Ultraman's head. A good scene cannot only be shot from a first-person perspective; it must be supplemented with panoramic footage.

It's springtime now, and the weather is nice, so many elementary school students are playing in the community garden.

There were also some elderly men sitting there chatting about international affairs.

Soon, some elderly people were attracted by the buzzing sound of the drone and gathered around Shen Fei and the others, discussing it animatedly.

The elementary school students were so excited that their eyes lit up, and they surrounded Ultraman, shouting and yelling.

Using drones to film videos of cats is such a fun and entertaining sight.

"Xiaojun, what are you doing here?" An older woman, who clearly knew Wang Jianjun, came over and asked.

Wang Jianjun was taken aback by the question from his old neighbor. He adjusted his glasses and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhang, we're filming a video of my cat."

"Taking a video of your cat?" Aunt Zhang's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, instantly attracting the attention of all the elderly people around. "Oh my, Xiao Jun, you've got some serious skills now! Using a drone to film your fat cat? Are you going to be on TV?"

"Why watch TV? These days, young people all play that thing called... TikTok." An old man wearing reading glasses next to him explained in a serious tone, "My granddaughter is always at home, holding her phone and laughing like an idiot, that's what she watches."

Immediately, discussions arose.

Shen Fei and the others weren't annoyed. They politely chatted with them for a few minutes before catching up with Ultraman again.

First-person perspective shooting of cats and drone aerial photography require technical skills, but not the skills of a director.

However, there were still some requirements for the photographer, so in the end Shen Fei could only take over the conversation and chat with the neighbors for a few minutes on behalf of Wang Jianjun.

Ultraman is clearly the overlord of this area, and he is used to this kind of scene.

It merely glanced lazily at the onlookers, yawned, then flicked its tail and strode steadily toward the red brick wall of the old factory area.

......

Shen Fei and Zhou Jiahui filmed for a while before returning to the company. Wang Jianjun worked all morning and finally finished filming the video.

At 2 PM, Wang Jianjun sent the footage he had shot to Zhou Jiahui. The footage consisted of four hours of material, totaling over 100 GB.

After receiving the materials, Shen Fei handed them over to Zhou Jiahui, asking her to find inspiration from them.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Shen Fei approached Zhou Jiahui again and asked, "How's it going? How's the voice-over coming along? Any inspiration?"

Upon hearing Shen Fei's question, Zhou Jiahui suddenly raised her head, like a primary school student who had been suddenly called on by the teacher in class, still tightly gripping her pen in her hand.

The notebook in front of her was filled with dense writing and sketches of storyboards that looked like stick figures.

"I...I've thought of a few directions, boss." Zhou Jiahui took a deep breath, as if encouraging herself, and then pushed the notebook in front of Shen Fei.

"I think... the theme of this video could be called 'The Orange King's Tour'."

Zhou Jiahui's voice trembled a little at first, but once she got into work mode, her eyes lit up and her tone gradually became more confident.

"We don't treat it like an ordinary cat, but rather mold it into an 'emperor' patrolling its territory. Its round body and steady gait create a kind of... a charming contrast of majesty!"

"For example, at the beginning, using a drone shot in the distance, Ultraman slowly walks out of an apartment building, with the voice-over saying: 'Let's tour the land together!'"

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

Encouraged, Zhou Jiahui smiled and continued speaking.

"Then there's the shot of it scratching itself on the red brick wall, filmed from its own first-person perspective, the footage shaky, accompanied by: 'Hmm, this wall is quite sturdy, a reward!'"

......

"The essence of the whole video is using the most domineering tone to say the most cowardly things. I think this strong contrast will be very interesting!"
