Chapter 24: Chance encounter

Wu Yuchen didn't have much reaction after hearing this. He just thought that Jiang Qinqin had calmed down for a few days after coming back, so he planned to come and find her to meet and communicate today, and explain what happened at that time.

Unexpectedly, this little girl had quite a temper. Then let's wait a bit, let's talk after finishing the production.

"Thank you, Jin Shijie Qiaoqiao. There were some technical problems, it's not a big deal."

Wu Yuchen replied with a smile. Since Jiang Qinqin didn't tell anyone, he naturally wouldn't mention it to outsiders.

"Then please help me pass a word to Qinqin, tell her I'll come to apologize in person when she's in a better mood. Goodbye, Jin Shijie!"

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he turned and left gracefully.

"Hey, what kind of riddle are you playing!" Yin Qiaoqiao didn't get the answer, pouted her small mouth and stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, then turned and went back to the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Yin Qiaoqiao said to Jiang Qinqin:

"I sent him away for you, and he left a message saying he'll talk to you when you're in a better mood."

Jiang Qinqin got angry as soon as she heard this:

"Wait until I'm in a better mood? He expects me to be in a better mood after doing this!"

Jiang Qinqin jumped up from the bed, and her originally cold little face turned red:

"I've never seen such an arrogant person! Who does he think he is!"

Her reaction startled Chen Shasha and Yin Qiaoqiao in the dormitory. They had been together for more than a year and had never seen Jiang Qinqin so excited!

Chen Shasha leaned over carefully, patted Jiang Qinqin's heaving shoulder, and asked tentatively:

"Qinqin, are you okay?"

Jiang Qinqin also realized that her reaction seemed a bit excessive, but as soon as she thought of the grievance she suffered from Wu Yuchen that day, she felt stuffy in her heart, and only felt that this person was truly annoying!

Wait for her to be in a better mood? Dream on!

……

Youth Film Studio.

"Washed?"

The old master nodded and said with a smile: "It's done, everything that needs to be processed has been processed, you can just take it and edit it."

"Grandpa Li, thank you so much!"

Wu Yuchen thanked him hurriedly. It was only Thursday today. He could edit the short film in the next two days, and could take it to find someone to do the soundtrack and sound effects on the weekend. If it was fast, maybe "Bus 44" would come out next week.

Some people might think that with the reference of the original version of the past life, editing should be the easiest. But in fact, there are still some discrepancies. The actors have changed, and the effect of the performance is not exactly the same.

The original version of the past life was not perfect. To be honest, Wu Yuchen felt that Jiang Qinqin's solo performance was better than the original Gong Beibi, including Sun Honglei's robber, which was also quite in place.

However, knowing the original version was ultimately a great help to his editing. What Wu Yuchen had to do was to identify which shots he was most satisfied with from the filming materials.

He was not the only one editing. Old Jia, Fatty Wu, Chen Er, and others who were interested all came. After all, this was also learning, but Wu Yuchen was the director, and the final decision-making power was still in his hands.

On Friday night, several people were waiting with anticipation, some impatient.

Although the editing of the movie was completed, they still couldn't see the effect of the finished film. It must be transferred to magnetic tape, converting the film image into a video tape, to fully see the effect of the edited movie.

When the video tape transferred to magnetic tape was handed to Wu Yuchen, several people couldn't wait to find a video recorder and started playing it.

10 minutes later, when the screen fell into darkness, Jia Zhangke's face was flushed.

Although it hadn't undergone mixing, soundtrack, sound effect synthesis, etc., just this "rough version" was enough to make several people's blood boil!

"Is this really the movie we filmed? Director Wu, you are too awesome!" Jia Zhangke hugged Wu Yuchen excitedly, and even used the respectful title from the set.

"Cool! Too cool!" Fatty Wu also slapped his thigh on the side.

After their emotions calmed down a bit, Wu Yuchen smiled and said:

"Don't get excited yet, our work is not finished. We will divide the work and cooperate on the weekend. I will find a suitable soundtrack, and you will handle the subtitles and sound effects. Let's try to finish all the post-production this week!"

"No problem, leave it to us!"

"I really want to see the moment when the full version of 'Bus 44' comes out as soon as possible!"

……

The next day, Saturday, Jiaodaokou North Third Alley, Dongcheng District, Wu Yuchen walked with Qi Jing. The bell of the bicycle and the hawking of breakfast were intertwined in his ears.

Wu Yuchen came to find the soundtrack with Qi Jing today. Qi Jing studied recording and dealt with sound, so there were many people in her circle of friends who made music.

"We'll be there soon. Wu Yuchen, don't worry, the one I contacted for you graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, and he can play both electronic and traditional instruments. He plays rock now, absolutely powerful!"

Qi Jing introduced to Wu Yuchen while walking in front.

The alley was not long. After a while, the two stopped at the door of a somewhat broken courtyard. There was a toilet a few meters away, and the smell could be faintly smelled in the air.

Many alleys in Beijing used public toilets, one for each alley, and there were none in the courtyard. Wu Yuchen had long been accustomed to this.

The door was a bit broken, and the brick and mud on both walls were exposed. After walking in, there were a few flower pots in the small courtyard, but they were also withered. Wu Yuchen didn't care about these. After following Qi Jing in, he heard Qi Jing shout: "Brother Peng!"

The room door was pushed open from the inside, and a man wearing a black wool beanie poked his head out: "Xiao Jing, you're here."

Then he glanced at Wu Yuchen and smiled familiarly: "Buddy, you're quite handsome!"

Qi Jing introduced: "This is our director Wu Yuchen, this is Dou Peng, he is this in terms of music!"

Qi Jing said and raised a thumb.

Seeing him, Wu Yuchen also smiled and called out: "Brother Peng, sorry to trouble you with the soundtrack today."

"Haha, easy to say. I used to arrange music for others, this is the first time I've done a soundtrack for a movie. Let's learn from each other and give advice to each other." Dou Peng smiled, looking very easy to talk to.

Saying that, he greeted Wu Yuchen and Qi Jing into the room.

After Wu Yuchen sat down, he took out the video tape and handed it to Dou Peng, then said: "Brother Peng, I want to express absurdity and irony, so this background music needs to feel a bit evil. Don't be too complicated, try to be simple, but it must be powerful, the kind of cult. This movie itself is full of absurdity and irony from beginning to end, so I want to highlight..."

Wu Yuchen tried his best to describe the effect he wanted so that Dou Peng could understand his thoughts.

"I have a bit of a feeling. Come with me after you finish eating, I'll try it."

Finding someone to do a soundtrack for a movie, most of the time you have to let them watch the movie first, and also say which part it is used in, so that they can make a soundtrack that satisfies you.

Just as Dou Peng turned on the TV, a somewhat rough and hoarse voice came from the door:

"Hiss, why is it suddenly so cold outside today~"

Dou Peng didn't turn his head either and said: "I told you the weather changed, told you to put on a coat to go to the toilet, you didn't listen."

Wu Yuchen turned his head to look upon hearing this, and saw a woman wearing a single shirt and shorts at the door, her hair a bit messy, as if she had just woken up. Her body and face were small, delicate and exquisite, with a pure and clever spirit, and she was shivering with her arms hugging her shoulders.
