Chapter 380 Yu Li, I don’t know you
It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yongsan Apartment in Seoul.
"When did you get home?"
"Aren't you very tired? Why don't you take a rest instead of playing games here?"
Huang Xu had just finished his meeting with Kim Tae-woo and quickly returned to the apartment. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sunny struggling on the sofa.
When Sunny saw Huang Xu coming back, he immediately paused the game and stretched out his hands to Huang Xu.
"I'm tired. Aren't I waiting for you to come back?"
"I want you to hold me while I sleep?"
"Are you not afraid that I will attack you?"
Huang Xu walked over to sit next to Sunny, held her in his arms, and looked at her with some curiosity.
Last night, she was still very afraid of herself and even pushed herself to Kim Taeyeon's side. Why is she so brave today?
Sunny looked helpless and looked at Huang Xu with pitiful eyes.
"What can I do if I'm afraid?"
"You're my boyfriend, I can't keep hiding from you and not satisfying your needs, right?"
"And, will you hurt me?"
"You~~"
Huang Xu seemed a little helpless when listening to Sunny's smooth little combo of retreating to advance.
What else can he say in this situation?
And Sunny just laughed, her smile was particularly bright.
"As expected, it's still more fun to be with Huang Xu."
She adjusted her body, found a more comfortable position in Huang Xu's arms, and then asked about Huang Xu's early return.
"What did you do today?"
"Are you done now?"
"Finished? This is just the beginning."
Hearing this question, Huang Xu's face immediately fell and became a little frustrated.
"I feel like I may not have much free time for a long time."
"what?"
sunny looked at huang xu with some surprise.
As Huang Xu's girlfriend, she has a deep understanding of Huang Xu and knows that he, like herself, is a homebody.
I am the type of person who would rather stand than sit when I can, and would rather sit than lie down when I can.
On weekdays, if Huang Xu doesn't have anything to deal with, he may stay in the apartment all day without taking food out.
Exercising, cooking and playing games are his favorite life.
Of course, we can’t forget his strong needs.
So when Sunny heard Huang Xu say that he would be very busy for a long time, she became a little curious.
"What on earth is going on? It takes you so long."
"Of course it's your peripheral plans, and Tara and the others' variety show!"
Huang Xu recalled the outcome of his conversation with Jin Taiyu today, and the frustration on his face became more and more obvious.
And he also fell into deep regret.
"If I had known at the time that this would be so troublesome, I would definitely not have stepped forward."
In the past, when he considered these things, he was still a little too simple and took them for granted.
I always thought that all I had to do with these things was make a good plan and give instructions for execution, but I never expected that things would be far from as simple as I imagined.
He felt it was simple because he had a clear understanding of the matter and knew what kind of results he wanted.
But those who work don’t know this!
For example, regarding the shooting of a variety show, he did not stop after making a shooting plan and checking off the details. He had to personally lead them in the shooting for a while, and only after Pu Lin and the others had thoroughly understood it, did he feel relieved.
Even so, he still has to go there every week to check the results and adjust the shooting plan for the next week.
And today, I got another not-so-good news from Kim Tae-woo.
“The post-production staff couldn’t meet my own requirements.”
It is relatively easy to find editors. You just need to edit slowly according to the materials and scripts. At most, the speed will be a little slower and there may be some rework.
But post-production is a bit difficult.
To be honest, there is no shortage of post-production personnel in Seoul, so technical capabilities are not a problem.
However, their current aesthetic, or some common practices, are still very traditional Korean variety show genres.
There is a big difference between this and Huang Xu’s requirements.
So the solution he and Kim Tae-woo finally came up with today was to recruit some people with higher technical levels, and then let Huang Xu lead them to produce two episodes.
Wait until they are familiar with Huang Xu's needs and then slowly let go.
It’s just the same as the filming of the previous variety show.
And this has another advantage. When I am in charge of post-production, I can also monitor the progress of the cooperation with SM company at any time in the company.
It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone, but Huang Xu just needs to work a little harder.
After hearing what Huang Xu was going to do next, Sunny looked at him with some sympathy.
"So you'll have to go to work every day for the next period of time, and even have to work overtime occasionally?"
"Yes, it is like that."
When Huang Xu heard about having to work overtime, he felt like crying but had no tears left.
In his previous life, although he did not work in a company but only worked in a restaurant with his uncle, he also experienced countless overtime hours.
Don’t forget, people here in Korea have a reputation for evolving their sleep habits.
When they eat at night, they don't care about the time at all. They are often still eating and drinking until the early morning.
So Huang Xu, who was living in the hotel, naturally had to accompany them.
Now when Sunny mentions overtime, Huang Xu's face is full of resentment.
After seeing this, Sunny could only pat Huang Xu on the shoulder to comfort him.
But then she remembered another thing and asked Huang Xu curiously again.
“Can you also do post-production?”
“And you can also guide professionals?”
"Of course. If I didn't know how to do that, I wouldn't have made such high demands before."
"But, I remember that this is not what you studied in college, right?"
"And after graduation, it seems that I haven't had a similar job. How come this happened?"
"This~, of course I learned these by myself!"
Huang Xu seemed a little hesitant, then immediately answered with a firm look.
He was not lying, he really taught himself these things.
But it’s just what I learned in my previous life.
At this time, video editing and production is a very high-end and somewhat mysterious job for most ordinary people.
Most people don't know anything about these things.
Huang Xu is naturally no exception.
But who could have imagined that in a few years, the situation would change drastically.
Especially in China, due to the popularity of the short video self-media industry, more and more ordinary people have been exposed to this industry.
Huang Xu was no exception in his previous life. He was running a restaurant, so he joined the army of self-media to help his restaurant attract traffic. It was also at this time that he came into contact with and learned some video editing software.
Sunny also noticed Huang Xu's hesitation just now.
Although Huang Xu hid it well, Sunny was in his arms and her idol career in the past few years made her very sensitive to various micro-expressions.
So there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Huang Xu.
"What? You don't believe it?"
"No, it's not that I don't believe it, but it doesn't make sense at all."
"If I remember correctly, you said before that after you graduated, no, before you graduated, you followed your uncle to work in a restaurant in Seoul."
"Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. If you have these skills, why do you still want to work in a restaurant?"
"It would be more reasonable to find a job in this field."
"Not to mention you have a very high level."
"That's the truth, but the reality is very magical."
After listening to Sunny's well-reasoned analysis, Huang Xu could not say anything to refute.
After all, according to normal logic, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what Sunny said, and it conforms to objective laws.
But the reality is that many things are magical and contrary to common sense.
For example, his rebirth, and the many skills he now possesses.
But there was no way to reveal these, so Huang Xu could only give an empty response.
And in Sunny's eyes, this is already a confirmed fact.
However, she did not expose it. Instead, she followed Huang Xu's words and nodded.
"Okay, okay, I believe you're fine now."
"Ah~~, what do you mean, don't you believe me?"
"No, I have to let you see whether I can do it or not."
Huang Xu was obviously stimulated by Sunny, and he directly pulled Sunny up, ready to let her witness and see whether he could do it or not.
As a man, how could he allow his girlfriend to doubt herself?
Especially if you really know how to do it.
So Huang Xu took Sunny and went directly to the apartment next door. They used the computer they used to play games to start downloading Pr for editing and AE for making simple special effects.
Thanks to the fast Internet speed in South Korea and the fact that they want to play games, Kim Taeyeon and Sunny basically configure their computers to the highest configuration.
In just over twenty minutes, Huang Xu had downloaded the software and started installing it.
He also took advantage of this time to copy the videos and photos on the memory card to his computer.
Then, under Sunny's shocked gaze, he began to edit and produce the video with his half-baked skills.
Although it was obvious that Huang Xu's level was not very high and his proficiency was also a problem, it was enough to leave Sunny stunned.
"No, you really can?"
“But this really doesn’t make sense.”
"Don't think about whether it's reasonable or not. Since I said I would, I'm definitely not lying to you."
Looking at Sunny's stunned expression, Huang Xu's heart was filled with satisfaction. He then gently patted Sunny's confused little head and said.
"In reality, many things don't make sense."
"why?"
Sunny still couldn't understand it. No matter how she looked at it, Huang Xu shouldn't know these things, right?
Unfortunately, no matter how she pestered Huang Xu, he did not give her an answer.
Later, Huang Xu spent more than half an hour making simple edits to produce a three-minute video.
The video content is the scene of nine of them taking turns to dance solo in front of Huang Xu.
When he was making them, he just adjusted the light color and brightness and added skin color to the nine of them.
But even so, it still took Huang Xu more than half an hour to complete it.
There is no way, because the current software version is quite different from the one you will use in the future, and many useful functions have not yet appeared.
The functional layout inside is also different from the previous life.
However, Sunny had no idea about these things. She just felt that she didn't know enough about Huang Xu.
Otherwise, if Huang Xu has this skill, why wouldn't I know about it?
Besides this, does he have any other skills?
Compared to Sunny's surprise, Huang Xu looked at the freshly released video with some disgust.
Maybe in Sunny's eyes, these videos are already pretty good, but for Huang Xu, these videos are far from what he had expected.
There's nothing he can do about it. Who made him watch too many direct-to-video movies that cost millions or even tens of millions in his previous life?
A video of that quality can’t be shot just because you want to. It requires the right time, place, and people.
There are many idols who may not have such videos throughout their entire career.
This also reminded Huang Xu that EXID's future plans to go beyond the circle also need to be carefully planned.
Who knows if she can still take the straight shot of her turning over in her previous life, or if she can, can she achieve the same effect as in her previous life.
But there is no need to rush about these things. He has already sent several members of EXID out to continue their training.
According to the plan, their main task this year is to hone their training in the market. They will not start producing a new album until they meet Huang Xu's requirements.
So after Huang Xu finished making the video, he took Sunny back and started preparing dinner for the two of them.
Although it was only four or five in the afternoon and there was still a long time before dark, the two of them planned to finish their meal and rest early.
While Huang Xu was busy in the kitchen, Sunny was helping to wash the vegetables. After completing all the preparations, she sat on the sofa and waited for dinner.
However, she was not idle on the sofa. Instead, she uploaded the video that Huang Xu had just made to the group of nine people.
"I just edited a clip of the video Huang Xu shot. Can you guys see how it turns out?"
"It seems pretty good, it feels so clear!"
"Yes, it is indeed very clear. Besides this, look at the lighting, it also makes us look very beautiful."
“It’s really good, and a little different from our previous videos.”
“I think this one is more beautiful.”
"."
As Sunny uploaded the video, the group chat suddenly became lively, with everyone praising the video that Sunny had just uploaded from all angles.
After reading these messages, Sunny couldn't hold back her smile anymore and smiled exceptionally brightly.
I am very happy that my boyfriend is so successful.
"Hehe, I just said Huang Xu's photography is okay."
"Yeah, it's really well shot, the video is very clear."
"Why didn't I realize that Huang Xu has this trick?"
As someone who is quite familiar with Huang Xu, Kim Taeyeon was full of praise for the video produced by Huang Xu and even felt a little surprised.
She remembered that when Huang Xu was scouting locations in China some time ago, he was not yet so proficient with cameras and other things.
How can you shoot such a beautiful video nowadays?
At this time, Sunny did not care about Kim Taeyeon's doubts. Instead, after seeing her teammates' endless praises, she continued to speak to Kwon Yuri.
"Yu Li, now you have seen the video, I don't know"
