The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 66 Behind the Scenes
Generally, when shooting documentaries, a minimum of dozens of hours of material is required, usually hundreds or even thousands, which makes post-editing very troublesome.

Because documentaries are not like movies, they have causes, climaxes, and vivid plots.

Documentaries that follow people are just about following a person, a person's life or a fragment. There are not so many exciting things, but they are just repeated day after day.

It's just that the objects repeated every day are different for everyone and every industry. It's interesting to take pictures and show them to other industries.

People who work in this industry every day are not surprised by this.

Documentary editing usually requires several versions. Zhou You's request was too simple for Chen Weijun.

Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer.

Being able to fund some documentary directors and shoot some documentaries with practical significance is more enjoyable for traveling than eating popsicles in the dog days of summer.

"Director Chen, I have always been curious. How did you shoot your movie Better to Die? How did you get in? How did you have the courage to stay in that environment for a long time?" Zhou You also asked what he has been curious about for a long time. The problem.

After watching it, Zhou You pondered for a long time. Putting himself in his shoes, it was indeed not easy to shoot this documentary.

When Chen Weijun heard this question, he was stunned for a long time. Those memories that had sunk down gradually resurfaced in his mind. Fear, boldness, ignorance, and luck were all rolling in his mind one by one.

"To be honest, it was a bit of a coincidence. I was young at the time and I was half a journalist. I was filled with indignation and emotion about such a thing. After getting the news, I went there with my camera, alone, but the local area It was already blocked at that time, and as a foreigner, I couldn’t get in.”

"Later I met some fellow villagers and asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to make a movie to record this incident. They were also deeply affected by it. Many people nearby, their relatives and friends have also contracted AIDS. , the media was underdeveloped at that time, and they were all holding their breath."

"Then with their help, I entered the village as a visiting relative, and then met the protagonist's family."

Zhou You then asked: "Aren't you afraid? Not to mention that science popularization was not developed in the past. Even if a person is allowed to live with an AIDS patient for a long time now, not many people can do it?"

"Haha, do you think you're not afraid? Before I went in, I consulted many experts and asked them through which channels it was transmitted, whether they could be infected by eating together, and what protective measures were in place. Only then did I dare to go."

"But when I was in that environment, I wasn't afraid anymore because the people around me were so miserable. What was it like to wait for death? Only then did I understand that the most terrifying thing about people is not death, but the helplessness of waiting to die. A sense of help and hopelessness.”

Traveling around, I have a deep understanding of this. When watching this movie, although there is no sad soundtrack, when you watch the quiet picture and the simple narration of the characters, those scenes have a stronger impact on you than any other. The videos all come back stronger.

What caused a strong contrast were those children. The children had no concept of death. They didn't know that their mother was about to leave, and they didn't know how miserable their future would be.

There is a sentence in "The Shackles of Humanity" that describes it well: "The only people in this world who love them without expecting anything in return have left."

Documentaries, so they record people's real lives and will not change people, but that is fake. No matter good or bad, you have brought some changes to the person being recorded.

In fact, this kind of documentary is very depressing and you can't watch it often, but you can't help but know it.

The world is complicated, and so is life.

Some people enjoy happiness, and some people suffer.

Some people choose to live in pain and sobriety.

Some people think that since they can't change reality, they might as well be like an ostrich and bury their heads in the sand and ignore it.

There is no right or wrong, it's just everyone's different choices.

After being questioned about human nature and death, Zhou You became calm.

All I can say is to live in the moment and live up to yourself.

.........How to relieve worries?Only Xiaobai.

In an era of great material abundance, happiness is man's ultimate pursuit.

"Xiaobai, are you happy?"

"I'm quite happy when I'm with you, but I always feel like this happiness is like a bubble that will burst in the blink of an eye." Xiaobai looked at Zhou You who was hugging him tightly.

"What's wrong with you? You seem a little depressed."

"It's okay, people will think when they are free, and they will laugh when they think about God," Zhou You said jokingly
Life does require a balance of yin and yang.

"Xiaobai, do you have any ideals?"

"Yes, I want to buy a lot of delicious food and do a lot of fun things. This is why I wanted to be a tour guide in the first place."

"Then how about you open a travel company in the future. When you are in this company and have learned enough, we can open a travel company together."

"But now I find that running a company is quite difficult. There are too many things to manage."

"It's okay. We can't open the big one. Let's open the small one first. I'll invest for you. What are you afraid of?" If you want to travel all over the country and the world after traveling, it is easiest and most convenient to find a travel company.

Xiaobai was very happy after hearing Zhou You's words. He was lying on the bed and giggling. He must have started to dream about being a boss and traveling around.

The breeze on the lake blew waves.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and some people are going straight to Huanglong.

……

annual school season
No one lasts forever,

But there will always be people.

You have taught classes for a year, so you are no longer considered a new teacher, and there is no need to compile new lecture materials.

Taking into account the teaching proficiency, Zhou You is still allowed to teach the first year students the basics of library science.This is why Zhou You and his tutor applied for additional class fees based on different class conditions, but Zhou You didn't care about the money and just wanted to relax.

This year they were professional and started the orientation party.

Today's children are really amazing. They all have talents. Some can play the piano, some can play the guzheng, some can play the guitar, sing and dance, and it's easy to see them traveling around.

I remember when I was in school, every time the teachers asked me to fill in my specialty, I wrote none.

Looking at the various talents of other students, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t envious of them, but what kind of talents can I have if I come from a small rural area?

When Zhou You was a child, he watched the scene in the TV series Dongxie playing the flute. Zhou You was shocked. It felt so cool.

Later, when I was in college, I saw a video of Dou Wei playing the flute in a concert online, and I thought he was really cool at the time.

Seeing them performing on the stage, I wandered down there and thought wildly. I thought that now that I have money and time, I might as well learn the flute, which would satisfy my hobby and reduce my regrets.
