After wrapping up a day of shooting, it actually wasn’t too late. Li Younan heard Xie Lin say that if they can finish before 6 PM, it ans the filming went really smoothly. Xie Lin is still waiting, the official filming is estimated to start after 9 PM.
Today, he played a small soldier in the Nationalist army.
Xie Lin apologized, saying, "I won’t be with you this afternoon, brother."
Li Younan said carelessly, "No problem, no problem, I have plans tonight too."
Li Younan plans to go back and edit today’s videos.
The twilight sun enveloped the ancient city in a yellow haze.
Li Younan thought regretfully, it’s a pity he didn’t bring his cara, otherwise he really wanted to take a photo of Xie Lin.
Photography, for outsiders, has a major misunderstanding: always thinking a high-quality photo needs clever composition, professional color parater adjustnts, and fancy post-processing.
Actually, if ordinary people want to take a good photo, the focus should be on the subject of the photo.
Whether it is composition, color, or post-processing, the core purpose is to highlight the subject.
And what’s most important on the subject is emotion and atmosphere, a bit higher level is the sense of story.
The ideal state is when you see the subject in a photo, you can imagine a story in your mind, which doesn’t actually require much technique; for ordinary people, just being good at capturing details and emotions in life can produce an honest photo.
And Li Younan saw Xie Lin at this mont: he wore the Nationalist army hat askew, his hair at the temples wet with sweat, but with a grin on his face, his clothes ssy, sitting lazily on the steps, the sunset at his feet.
Li Younan was silent, suddenly took a photo of Xie Lin with his phone.
This photo didn’t use a professional cara or a professional model, but seeing this scene, it’s hard not to be moved by this emotion.
Li Younan nad the photo, "Veteran Actor".
Li Younan said to Xie Lin, "See you tomorrow."
After returning to the hotel, Li Younan eagerly took out his phone to check the video he posted. The likes had already risen to over 4,000, and the followers had reached over 3,000. This growth rate is quite surprising for a new broadcaster who only posted one video just two days ago.
However, Li Younan also knew that he purely rode the wave of a big broadcaster’s popularity. He took out his phone and continued browsing comnts, but soon discovered that the fans were no longer just coming from that acrobatic broadcaster.
Li Younan saw many comnts saying, "Finally found the original!"
"So you’re hiding here."
"Didn’t expect you could do flips too."
At first, Li Younan was sowhat puzzled, where did these people co from? Suddenly he saw a comnt, "Release another carving video!"
In an instant, Li Younan understood, soone saw his carving video in the ’Bearded Uncle’ series, then stumbled upon his video, and made him a guiding light.
Li Younan found the ’Bearded Uncle’ video again, at this ti the likes had exceeded 100,000. It must be said, this type of video filled with curiosity, sentint, twist, awesoness, etc., does have the potential to go viral.
He opened the comnt section, and indeed one of the top comnts was, "Folks, I found the original for you." Then it tagged Li Younan, allowing direct access to Li Younan’s hopage through the link.
At this ti, Li Younan’s followers were still increasing, almost every ti he refreshed, his follower count would update.
Unknowingly, ti passed, and Li Younan, indulging in the pleasure of gaining followers, felt a bit hungry.
Realizing this, he suddenly reflected. To be honest, experiencing the increase in followers is addictive, you unconsciously keep refreshing, unconsciously looking at new comnts, consuming a lot of ti.
Li Younan put down his phone, this is not a good thing, he mustn’t forget his original intention, he should control the traffic, not be controlled by it.
Thinking of this, Li Younan set a rule for himself: after posting a video, only browse comnts during a fixed ti period, then decide whether to reply based on the situation.
Li Younan went downstairs in the hotel to casually eat a bowl of noodles, filled his stomach, and then returned to the room to focus on editing the video.
The computer he brought from Yang Ting’s ho is quite old and not very usable, so Li Younan used the simplest and most basic thod on his phone to edit the video.
He cut the necessary footage, arranged it, then inserted text according to the prepared script, and added AI voice-over. He originally planned to use his own voice to record, but after several tries, the reading was not satisfactory, staggering and sounding very stiff. Don’t underestimate this task, without a bit of talent it’s really hard to do, so he decided to use AI voice-over throughout.
Although the video was sowhat roughly made, overall, it could tell the day’s experience clearly, which is acceptable. Even so, Li Younan took three to four hours to finish editing this video. By this ti, the sky outside had darkened. After exporting the video, Li Younan watched it again.
The video title is, "Experience as an Extra at Hengdian, and Act with the Leading Actress."
"Today’s goal is to experience a day as a background actor. I have a friend who has been doing extras here for many years, he suggested I directly try out for a foreground actor. If other friends want to experience being an extra, they can apply for an actor certificate a few days in advance, join group chats, and find announcents themselves."
"Coming to Hengdian, everyone can see, it’s 6 o’clock now."
"Got the role, still a bit confused."
"Styling session, the stylist was very skilled."
"Next cos the long waiting."
"The crew suddenly said they needed an extra actor to be the leading male’s stand-in, I was called for an audition."
"Passed the audition again, from foreground actor to stand-in actor, I told the director I need a raise."
"Had to redo the styling again."
"..."
"Filming went smoothly, the actress was very professional, even got , an amateur, into the storyline. However, due to confidentiality reasons, so scenes can’t be shown now. When everyone watches this show later, try to guess which one is ."
"That’s it for today’s video."
At the end of the video, Li Younan added another segnt: "Youth has no price, I am Li Younan, planning to explore the vast landscape of our country, sharing the travel process and experience in this video, thank you for your attention!"
To sum up, this video is the first one on Li Younan’s video account truly in line with the account’s the. He checked it twice, ensuring there were no spelling errors nor loopholes before clicking upload.
After finishing this task, Li Younan no longer thought about the video’s traffic, peacefully went to wash up.
He once again reminded himself not to beco a slave to the traffic.
