"Knock knock".
There was a knock on the office door, and Dai Bai walked in.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
Dai Bai greeted Yuan Ling and Xiao He respectively.
Xiao He then stood up and took the initiative to invite, "Come on, Lao Yuan, it's lunchtime. Let's go out for a meal. Dai Bai and I will treat you!"
Yuan Ling glanced at his watch and then shook his head: "Never mind, you two go ahead, I'll eat at the cafeteria. I have class in the first period this afternoon."
"Oh dear, my class is at 2 PM, but I have time. I'll just sit by the door for a bit," Xiao He urged. "Come on, come on, I don't even know when I'll be able to go back again. I finally have some free time to come over—"
Yuan Ling thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "Alright, let's go."
So Yuanling went with his two students to a well-known restaurant near the school for a meal.
Because it was an old restaurant without private rooms, Xiao He was recognized by a college student while he was eating.
Fortunately, the three of them were only there to grab a bite to eat and chat casually, so they didn't stay for very long. They left after finishing their meal, without causing too much of a stir or attracting many more students to watch.
In the parking lot, Xiao He originally intended to give Yuan Ling some fruit, but Yuan Ling refused.
Xiao He could only regretfully give up.
Before leaving, Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then said to Xiao He, "Life does offer many choices, but I hope that when you decide to choose one path, you will not give up control over the other. I hope you have the courage to go all the way on one path, and the confidence to change paths at any time."
Xiao He was somewhat taken aback.
He seemed completely taken aback when Yuanling suddenly said such a thing to him.
But what followed was a bitter feeling rising in my heart.
The teacher didn't know why his student suddenly went into the entertainment industry. He just hoped that his student would have a smooth life in the future, be unafraid of any storms, and have a safe haven to retreat to.
This is what it means to be a good teacher.
Yuan Ling didn't have much to say, but simply raised his hand and patted Xiao He's shoulder before turning and walking towards the teaching building: "From now on, just talk on your phone if you need anything. You're a very busy person, and it's really inconvenient for you to come to the school so often. I'll reply when I see your message during class."
He then waved casually as he walked away.
Dai Bai, who was standing next to Yuan Ling, also walked forward. But halfway there, he suddenly turned back and clenched his fist at Xiao He to show his encouragement.
Xiao He stood there for a long time, then chuckled helplessly.
The friendships formed during university screenings may be few, but they are invaluable.
It's truly shameful that ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Teacher Yuan is still willing to help his already graduated student without expecting anything in return.
Xiao He shook his head, feeling deeply grateful for the helpful people he had met along the way. Finally, he turned around, drove off quietly from the school.
...
Xiao He's visit to his teacher at Shanghai University did not generate much discussion online, but with the guidance of professional teachers, Xiao He's studies progressed rapidly.
With a foundation in hacking skills, as long as he understands the principles of computer science and practices, he can master it in just a few days.
The special effects artist who came to teach Xiao He last fell into a long silence as he looked at the international award he had just won and then at Xiao He's "mecha vs. aliens" film, which he had crammed into over a week.
"Teacher, do you think my rendering is okay?"
"Teacher, this movement still feels a little off. Do we need to get it rigged with motion capture again?"
"Teacher, this seat of mine..."
"teacher......"
teacher:......
While receiving an award abroad, I unexpectedly discovered someone with such incredible talent that they could chop down trees. Now, the award in my hand feels cold, as if it's about to fly away. What do you think is going on?
Teacher: "Xiao Xiao, I think you've successfully graduated. I don't have anything else to teach you, so let's keep in touch less in the future."
Xiao He: "Ah? But teacher, actually I also wanted to invite..."
Teacher: I'm offline now. Please don't contact me if you need anything. Thank you.
Xiao He: ? ? ?
"Actually, I wanted to ask if your team had any availability..."
Looking at the now-black screen, Xiao He finished speaking his last words.
However, the person on the other side ran too fast, and they could no longer hear it.
Xiao He sighed.
Okay, he admits he's really doing something extraordinary, but this is already the lowest possible efficiency.
After all, he trains during the day, studies in the afternoon, and has to wait for the rendering to start in the evening. His current speed is completely hampered by the rendering speed.
As we all know, high-quality production inevitably requires a long rendering time. In many post-production special effects jobs, the rendering stage often accounts for 30%-60%, with a single shot taking several days to render, and a complete process often taking more than a month.
This is why many people in the industry say, "Rendering is fun for a moment, but it's a nightmare for fans."
This thing is really demanding on graphics card hardware. If a frame drops, it's like all the previous rendering was wasted, and you just have to wait for the algorithm to reset and start rendering again.
Once rendering begins, it will definitely be the main battleground for the CPU and heat dissipation.
Even Xiao He's self-assembled high-performance computer had to start using high-power cooling at this time to deal with the temperature and stress brought about by rendering.
This is the power of "rendering".
Therefore, more advanced special effects technology means more complex basic hardware and server clusters.
It must be said that this is indeed a very "money-burning" project, and it is certainly not something that Xiao He alone can save money on.
In this situation, manual labor is probably the cheapest expense; most of the money is spent on the machines and servers behind it.
So even though he had successfully completed his apprenticeship, Xiao He abandoned his idea of saving money by working alone and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the people on the other side.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have been scared away.
Xiao He: ...What else can I say?
Forget it, the production hasn't even started filming yet anyway, so it seems a bit too hasty for him to find a post-production team now. There's still plenty of time to work on it later!
So Xiao He happily decided to put the matter aside for the time being and wait until the teacher's team returned.
However, when Xiao He was reviewing the materials, he happened to see an international rendering competition in August, which is one of the most influential competitions in the industry. Considering that his existing work was just sitting there, Xiao He studied the participation requirements and specifications, and then simply revised his "Mech vs. Aliens" and casually threw it into the competition's email address.
Xiao He didn't pay any more attention to what happened after that.
Because at the end of June, "Cang Yue Jie" finally came to an end.
-
The much-anticipated adaptation did not materialize, and the final story remained largely the same as the original plot.
In the final episode, during the last loop, the female lead, the male lead, and the others from the sect joined forces to fight the demon god and ultimately defeated him.
However, since the demon god had already bound the soul of the second male lead, the senior brother, if he died, it would mean that the senior brother would also die.
Everyone hesitated, unable to make a decision.
But how could someone like the eldest brother bear to see others suffer because of him?
In the end, everyone else survived and achieved a happy ending, except for the second male lead, the senior brother, who chose to perish together with the demon god and completely disappear from the world.
—From then on, his soul was scattered and he was no longer subject to reincarnation. There was neither a world-destroying demon god nor a peerless senior brother in the world.
The audience was in tears.
【I'm begging you! You didn't change the parts that needed changing, and you just easily made me cry, sob sob—】
【Give me back my senior brother!】
【Is the author there? Is the screenwriter there? Could you please provide your home address? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to send some local specialties from my hometown.】
