I’m Really A Great Director

Chapter 3 Drawing Lessons from Quentin's [Pulp Fiction]

Li Fanxi took the skull mask and walked out the door, wandering around the street blankly, and found a small shop called "Phase Video". Looking in from the glass window, you can see that there are some skull masks clearly marked in the store.

Walking into the shop, Li Fanxi asked the fat shopkeeper if he could fix the skull mask in his hand.

"This...I can't fix it," the fat shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Your skull mask is too old. The parts have long been discontinued. I need to buy a new one."

"Buy one..." Li Fanxi squeezed his empty wallet and was at a loss.

"If you don't have money, rent one." The fat boss shrugged.

"This..." Li Fan hoped to look around the shop and asked, "Do you need manpower here?"

"Do you want to work part-time?" the fat boss asked.

"Yeah!" Li Fanxi handed his ID card and high school diploma with both hands.

The fat boss smiled: "No one sees the diploma now, I just ask you, what will you do?"

"I can make movies." Li Fanxi pointed to his head, saying that he would be able to image his head.

"Oh, that's it... then make one and have a look." The fat boss pointed to a cubicle.

In this compartment, three craniums are visited side by side, and three computers are connected, which is obviously designed for customers to experience new products.

"What style should the video be made?" Li Fanxi walked into the cubicle and asked.

"Um... the style is a little bit special. I don't like sparse and ordinary things. I'm tired of seeing things." The fat boss thought for a while and said: "You can use the scene of the'coffee shop' to show the plot."

The fat boss said this and took out a small photo from his trouser pocket and showed it to Li Fanxi.

In the photo, it is a cafe with a dark tone and a very ordinary decoration.

"Do you want to design the scene according to the coffee shop in the photo?" Li Fanxi remembered the details of the photo deeply.

"By the way, the decoration is as consistent as possible." The fat boss smiled.

Obviously, the focus of the fat boss is to test the ability of Li Fanxi's image.

Li Fanxi knows that his image ability is only 5, so this interview... is very hanging.

However, using the coffee shop as the scene, combined with the owner’s preference of "a little special style", Li Fanxi quickly thought of the opening of a movie——

Quentin's "Pulp Fiction".

In this talented film, the frenzied Quentin Tarantino (Quentin Tarantino) abandons the Hollywood-style traditional method, and uses the method of separation of viewpoints to treat the whole narrative into a kind of "circle" that echoes the beginning and the end. "Shape structure" has subverted the linear concept of time and space in traditional movies. The technique is wonderful, and the look and feel is novel. It is breathtaking and stunning.

At the beginning of the film, a dialogue between the two cannon fodder characters "Little Rabbit" and "Little Pumpkin" is already full of anger.

Li Fanxi decided to try this scene.

"How long is it?" Li Fanxi asked the fat boss.

"Thirty seconds is enough." The fat boss said it doesn't need to be long. Thirty seconds is enough to see clearly.

In the opening of the vulgar novel, the dialogue between the little bunny and the little pumpkin lasted more than four minutes. To compress it to thirty seconds, it must be edited appropriately.

Li Fanxi put on the skull mask, screened the pictures in his head, stringed them up frame by frame, re-edited them, dyed them carefully, turned on lights, made sound effects, dubbing, subtitles, and done!

"It's done!" Li Fanxi took off the skull mask and nodded to the fat boss.

"Oh, the speed is good, it only took seventeen minutes in thirty seconds, let's see how the quality is."

The shopkeeper sat down with a smile, turned on the player, and checked the thirty-second video.

At the beginning of the movie, things were not so good.

"The color cast is serious, the image is unstable, and there are a lot of noise..." The fat boss shook his head: "Oh, especially this dubbing, how embarrassing it is!"

In cranial imaging, the dubbing part is very complicated. It is not that you can fully reproduce a certain sound by remembering it, but it is necessary to understand this sound in depth to imitate it completely.

For example, in this film, "Little Pumpkin" actor Tim Roth (Tim Roth), that is a strong British pronunciation, and Li Fanxi in the cranial imaging, can be copied, but mumbled strangely The pronunciation is not even English.

Fortunately there are subtitles, otherwise I don't know what the characters are talking about.

This is the sorrow of [Sound Effect] with an ability value of 2.

Of course, the ability that Li Fanxi showed in this minute is not bad for novices, but it is far from the level required by the fat boss.

But it's very strange that there are so many poisonous spots that the fat boss can still see it.

"But... the dialogue is interesting... these two are mentally retarded..."

"Coffee shop robbery, haha! How did you come up with it?!"

"Oh, really drew the gun? How do you pick up the story behind this..."

After watching the 30-second video, the fat boss felt very happy. Turning off the player, he lit a cigarette and lost his thoughts.

The young man in front of him has really unsatisfactory technology, but after all, technology can be developed.

The field of cranial imaging requires not only technology, but also talent.

This young man seems to be quite talented.

"It's not bad, the technique is amateur, but these two characters are very pleasing." The fat boss spouted a cigarette, nodded and said: "Your character creation ability is good, the scenes are condensed, and they are quite stylish."

"Well, did the interview pass?" Li Fanxi asked.

The fat boss nodded: "You are still a little talented. You can do part-time here and learn something."

"Oh, how much is the monthly salary?"

"Two thousand two, including food but not housing, work from Monday to Saturday, and rest on Sunday." The fat boss said: "You have to make sure to go to work at ten o'clock every day, leave work at six o'clock, and be in the store for eight hours."

"Okay, no problem." After getting a job with a monthly salary of 2000+, Li Fanxi knew that his task was completed.

"Go on without any problem! Lao Liu didn't ask for leave today, so you should take his seat first."

Lao Liu is one of this store, responsible for helping customers modify the video. He did not come today. The fat boss hoped that Li Fanxi could replace Lao Liu and fill the scene.

Li Fanxi sat on Lao Liu's stool and took a deep breath.

The task is completed, and 5 free attribute points have been added.

Where should the attribute points be added this time?

Li Fanxi didn't know what to do and didn't immediately assign these attribute points.

On the first day of work today, he must make good use of these attributes to save face at the critical moment.

There is a brand new skullcap lying on hand, which is light and fashionable, and the metal guard ring on the edge flashes with black luster.

Li Fanxi glanced, feeling itchy, and wanted to pick it up immediately and put it on his head.

"This is the latest version of U786," ​​the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Try it on, it's much better than your old antique."

"Okay!" Li Fanxi immediately put on the U786, closed his eyes in his head, and continued to do "When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door" for the third minute.

One minute later, the temperature of U786 was as usual, there was no hotness, and there was no painful buzzing sound.

It really is a good thing!

Li Fanxi took off his skull mask and uploaded this one-minute video to Qiying.com. At this time, he discovered that there were actually six comments on the work page.
