"Live video broadcast?" Hearing Liu Shuzhou's idea, Tong Tian and Jin Guangxian were greatly surprised.

Liu Shuzhou smiled and nodded: "Dynamic scenes are often more intuitive than static pictures, which is a good helper for live broadcast."

Tongtian was thoughtful: "The live broadcast posts that everyone saw before were all in the form of pictures and text. The pictures are used for display, and the text is responsible for explanation. If we can shoot the whole planting scene, it will indeed save a lot of trouble."

Jin Guangxian was thinking about another thing: "No one in the whole prehistoric world has used video live broadcast before. If I am the first to use this method, wouldn't I be able to attract many viewers?"

"By inferring from one example to another, a child can be taught." Liu Shuzhou gave him a thumbs up, "There are tens of thousands of live posts, and if you want to attract people's attention, you must be surprising. Brother, I'm sure, if you use video for live broadcast, you will definitely Can create popular live posts.”

Jin Guangxian's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, as if he had seen himself becoming a celebrity on the forum.

"Let me try." Jin Guangxian couldn't wait to shoot a video with the camera, recording the whole process of a bee collecting honey on a flower.

"It is indeed more intuitive than pictures and text descriptions." Watching the replay, Tong Tian nodded.

"Master~" Jin Guangxian looked at Tongtian expectantly, with a sweet voice.

Being looked at with affectionate eyes by a tall and thick man, Tong Tian got goosebumps all over his body, and waved his hands in disgust: "This magic weapon is just a sample, I still have it there, you can use it if you like."

"Thank you, Master!" Jin Guangxian cheered, and hurriedly ran away with the camera in his arms, impatient to test the new toy.

"Jin Guang's temper is really..." Tong Tian shook his head helplessly.

Liu Shuzhou said with a smile: "Brother has a bit of a temper, but he has a pure heart."

Looking at his smiling face, Tong Tian couldn't help being dazed for a moment, and his breathing was slightly short of breath.He subconsciously took a step towards Liu Shuzhou, and was about to extend his hand when he heard a clear and clear child's voice——

"Daddy, come quickly, I have a problem that I can't do!"

Tongtian watched Liu Shuzhou walk away from him, and walked towards the study: "Here, come, which question won't show me."

"..." Tongtian curled his lips in disappointment.

Jin Guangxian's short video live broadcast really caused a sensation on the forum. In just half a day, his live broadcast post received hundreds of replies, exceeding the number of replies in the past month.

[It's amazing, the pictures posted by the host actually move! ! ! 】

[Upstairs, the landlord said, this is not called a picture, it is called a video]

[The master is more than the host, please tell me how to make this video! 】

[Although I am used to cutting wheat in reality, it feels different when I look at it online.Come on, landlord, post more, support you]

On Fetion, Jin Guangxian excitedly said to Liu Shuzhou: "Junior brother, my post has become popular!!!"

Liu Shuzhou could feel Jin Guangxian's joy through the screen, he smiled and replied, "Congratulations, brother."

After a while, Jin Guangxian sent another emoticon of grievance, and Liu Shuzhou replied with a puzzled emoticon.

A few seconds later, Jin Guangxian called: "Junior brother, the more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy. You said that if this camera is promoted, everyone will shoot videos, so is it true that no one is paying attention to my posts?"

Liu Shuzhou was startled, and thought to himself, in fact, Jin Guangxian is not as naive as he appears on the surface, and he also knows to plan ahead.

On the other end of the spiritual sense, Jin Guangxian was thinking: "Junior Brother, you said that I asked Master not to distribute the camera to the outside world, would he agree?"

Liu Shuzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"

"Okay, I'm just saying it casually." Jin Guangxian's voice dropped, and he sighed softly.

Liu Shuzhou said: "If you are worried about this, I have a solution, but whether it will work or not depends on you."

Jin Guangxian wanted to become a popular person on the forum, so he naturally refused to let go of any hope. He asked eagerly, "What way?"

"This requires you to practice a technique..."

***

"That's amazing, junior brother, how did you come up with the idea of ​​splicing the two videos together?" Jin Guangxian exclaimed again.

The method Liu Shuzhou said is to re-process the shot video to make the video more watchable.

The technology of editing is commonplace for modern people. Most of the various audio-visual videos watched on TVs and mobile phones have undergone post-processing, which is not surprising.But for an aborigine like Jin Guangxian, shooting a video is already a great thing, and editing the video is beyond imagination.

Limited by the current technical conditions, professional editing software such as Pr and vv are difficult to obtain, but it is not difficult to create X-editing software.The functions don’t need to be too complicated, with the most basic cutting and splicing, transitions, adding background music, and adding some filters, it is enough to shock the entire network.

Liu Shuzhou said to Jin Guangxian: "As long as you are willing to learn, you can do it."

Jin Guangxian nodded furiously: "Study, learn, I will study hard!"

Jin Guangxian's concerns were indeed justified. When he was learning editing from Liu Shuzhou, the video camera invented by Tongtian was also put into mass production.It didn't take long for this "magic weapon" to become popular all over the world, and the anchors on the forum also followed the shotgun and replaced the photo live broadcast with video live broadcast.

As expected, the popularity of Jin Guangxian's live broadcast plummeted.The reality is very cruel. When netizens find out that there are better choices, they will naturally abandon what they were pursuing in the past without hesitation and turn to the embrace of their new love.As for those former loves, the better ones can still sell their feelings, but more often they become the rolling water of the Yangtze River and are completely shot to death on the beach.

"That's why we need to keep pace with the times." Liu Shuzhou held his teacup in his hands, feeling old-fashioned.

"Junior brother, can you see how my film was edited?" Jin Guangxian handed the spiritual knowledge to Liu Shuzhou, with a worried look on his face.

Liu Shuzhou is a good teacher, but Jin Guangxian is not a good student.He is good at fighting in martial arts competitions, but he is particularly incompetent in the face of these technical tasks that require patience.It took him a long time to learn just one video, and even Kong Xuan, who was endorsing the book next to him, learned it. He was still awkwardly memorizing a few shortcut keys.

Kong Xuan was straightforward, saying whatever he thought: "Daddy, Uncle Jin Guang is so stupid."

Jin Guangxian felt that his chest had been stabbed severely: "..." He was actually despised by a fluffy head!

Liu Shuzhou smiled and turned on the chicken soup mode: "There is a saying that there are no stupid people in the world, only those who refuse to work hard. No matter how smart a person is, if he refuses to work hard, he will eventually become stupid."

Jin Guangxian was greatly moved: "Junior Brother..."

"So," Liu Shuzhou gently stroked Kong Xuan's head, and changed the topic, "In order to become smarter, don't try to be lazy."

Kong Xuan, who was about to sneak out to play while Liu Shuzhou was not paying attention, said, "..." Well, he took himself into the ditch.

"Brother, the overall video you edited this time has improved a lot compared to before, but there are still some details that need to be polished." Liu Shuzhou smiled and said, "Congratulations, you can become a teacher. Next, as long as you practice hard, you will be able to cut out Good movie."

It didn't take long for a novel video to spark heated discussions on the forum.

The video is not very long, less than 5 minutes in total, but it completely records the whole process of a flower from growing buds to blooming and then withering.The video producer used editing methods such as acceleration and deceleration, montage, and transitions. Through the segmentation and combination of shots, some repetitive and boring scenes were discarded, and some key shots were highlighted by close-ups, such as the moments of flowers blooming. Coupled with soft music, every frame of the video cannot be skipped.

【Impressed!I declare that from today onwards, I am the fan of the host! 】

[My junior brother asked me why I knelt down to watch the video Orz]

[Boss, do you still lack leg accessories? 】

[Am I the only one who is curious about how this video was made?Could it be what kind of technique? 】

Jin Guangxian didn't know that this video called "A Life of a Flower" would be included in relevant professional textbooks as a representative work in film history in the future, and it would be mentioned in countless papers on film history.

Now he only knows that he is really going to be popular this time.

The number of comments under the post increased with a visible trend every minute, and every time I logged in to the forum, I received countless requests to add friends, and the messages in the private mailbox could not be cleared.

The hustle and bustle on the Internet has also been brought into real life. These days, no matter where he goes, he can get a lot of admiring looks. If you are brave enough, you can simply come up to him and ask for his autograph and photo. Find out how that video was made.

For the first time in his life, he actually felt like a celebrity.

Jin Guangxian's idol is Pan Gu. He believes that if he can make a sensation in life and death like Pan Gu, and be remembered by everyone many years after his death, then this is the real success.His biggest goal in life is to let his name spread throughout the prehistoric world, even if it is not as good as Pangu, at least he must be as famous as Zulong Yuanfeng through the ages.

In the past, Jin Guangxian worked hard to flood the forum and follow the trend of various popular posts, just to realize this dream and let everyone know his existence.

However, he still couldn't figure out what to do. The title of "Forum Water King" was more of a joke. In the eyes of most people, he was nothing more than a boring person who had nothing to do.

It's different now, he has truly proved his worth by relying on his first-hand editing skills.He is not a water king who only knows how to post, nor is he a little anchor who is oblivious to everyone.

He is the Emperor of Technology, and he is Jin Guangxian Scissorhands.

Liu Shuzhou did not expect that Jin Guangxian would take the initiative to promote the editing software.

"Aren't you worried that your post will be ignored again?" Liu Shuzhou asked with a smile.

Jin Guangxian's expression was still so flamboyant, but there was a little more confidence in his smile that he didn't have before. He said: "Even if everyone uses that software to edit, their skills may not necessarily be better than mine."

Liu Shuzhou was slightly taken aback, the Jin Guangxian in front of him seemed to be quite different from the past.

Sensing Liu Shuzhou's surprised gaze, Jin Guangxian's face became hot, and he stammered and explained: "There is pressure to make progress."

Liu Shuzhou looked at him and smiled silently.

The author has something to say: Liu Shuzhou [gratified]: Brother has really grown up!

Kong Xuan [disgusted]: Hehe, you are just a stupid man.

Tong Tian [with a shy face]: As a teacher, I also want to learn editing, please teach me~

Let me explain here that the "live broadcast" mentioned in this article generally refers to a very broad concept. For example, the 818 that you will see in the post bar is counted in the live broadcast. It may be different from the live broadcast in the usual sense. Just understand it as posting .Mainly because the stupid author couldn't think of another better word to replace it [cover face]

To be precise, the videos uploaded by Jin Guangxian in the later period are recorded and broadcasted, not live broadcasts. For convenience, they are all included in the live broadcast.
