Chapter 50: The Girl Behind the Divine Subtitles
"Here, here, use slightly softer music."
"This needs to be fixed a bit, I didn't notice it when I did it yesterday, this scene has too many people in the shot."
The editing room was in a flurry, with Guo Xiaoyu working with Qin Feng and the others to add music and subtitles to the edited video. This was also their first time doing such things, as they had only learned how to do it in school, but had never actually done it before. Fortunately, Guo Xiaoyu was there, having done dubbing and subtitling work in his past life, although he wasn't the person in charge, but through osmosis, he also had some skills. Plus, he knew the details of the original "Where's Dad Going", so they were able to finish it relatively quickly.
It's already the second day in the afternoon, and after Guo Xiaoyu stunned everyone with his performance last night, he suddenly disappeared. As a result, early this morning, Zhang Jie unexpectedly called to say that he wanted to put the song Guo Xiaoyu sang yesterday into his new album. However, the song "Look Through" clearly doesn't fit Zhang Jie's voice, so Guo Xiaoyu had no choice but to agree with him, and promised to write a new song for him personally after finishing the busy period of "Where is Dad Going". Only then did Zhang Jie hang up the phone in high spirits.
Woken up early, looking at the sunlight outside, Guo Xiaoyu couldn't sleep anymore and had to return to the TV station to finish the remaining editing. By noon, Qin Feng and others came in with a box of lunch, taking advantage of Guo Xiaoyu's mealtime to watch the complete edited version, they were so delighted that they burst out laughing one after another, urging Guo Xiaoyu to hurry up with the soundtrack, and just now Guo Xiaoyu was directing them.
"Alright, it's time for dinner. Let's go eat first and then we'll continue working on this. By the way, you can share your ideas with me while we eat. We're short on time, so we can't afford to gather all our thoughts together before starting. We have to think and do things simultaneously."
"Qin Feng has gone to get the food, let's just eat here and not waste time going back and forth." Mo Yan Yun had barely finished speaking when a knock at the door was heard, followed by Qin Feng's pig-slaughtering-like voice: "Open the door, I can't hold on anymore!"
Guo Xiaoyu opened the door and saw this silly kid holding five boxed lunches in one hand, and he had actually brought back all the meals for everyone. Guo Xiaoyu quickly took them over and said: "I didn't expect it, but you're still quite strong, carrying them all the way here."
Qin Feng, with a light hand, had the strength to brush Bao again. He raised his arm, pointing at his deltoid muscle, which was as flat as an airport, and said: "You guys don't even look at my deltoids, that's ridiculous."
Several little girls were teased by Qin Feng until they couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, biceps, come and eat quickly." Guo Xiaoyu immediately stuffed the boxed lunch into Qin Feng's hands.
Several people sat around, Guo Xiaoyu said while eating: "Now you tell me your ideas, you've also seen the trailer, whether it's the editing effect or the music, subtitles can be discussed with me."
"Alright, I'll go first," said Qin Feng. "Our show is a program about star dads and their kids. I think we can put the focus on the kids because these dads are already public figures, every move they make is under the camera lens, but the kids are different, they can bring a fresh feeling."
"I also think the focus should be on the children, but..." Mo Yan continued: "However, there is one thing we must pay attention to, that is when the children are alone with their father, the background music at this time must match their situation at the time, just like the segment we did earlier, softer music is just right."
Guo Xiaoyu nodded in agreement after hearing their conversation. The previous "Where's Dad Going" focused on the children, adding scenes of warmth, strictness and affection between parents and children, directly capturing the hearts of many people.
Another girl whispered: "I think, can we make the subtitles a bit more cute?"
Guo Xiaoyu took a glance at the girl, with big glasses frames, ponytail and straight bangs, looking like a typical next-door good girl. He remembered that this girl's name was Li Qian.
When Guo Xiaoyu looked over, Li Qian shrank her head and said timidly: "I just said it casually, don't mind." It seems that this girl has no confidence in herself.
Li Qian's parents divorced when she was very young, and she lived with her father. Later, her father found a new mother, although the new mother treated her well, but Li Qian felt that things were not the same as before. She gradually became less talkative and lacked confidence in everything she did. During her four years of university life, she only made one good friend, Mo Yan Yun. After graduating from university, Li Qian and Mo Yan Yun both interned at a TV station. Due to her introverted nature, everyone thought she was arrogant, so they all ostracized her. She always thought that it was because she wasn't doing well enough, so people didn't like her, so she worked even harder, but others thought she was showing off, making the situation worse. It wasn't until she participated in the recording of "Dad, Where Are We Going?" that things changed. What surprised her even more was that Guo Xiao Yu personally chose her to participate in the editing of "Dad, Where Are We Going?", which made her so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.
Guo Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the slightly timid girl. He had chosen her to participate in the editing because she shared the same surname as his mother, and although many people shared this surname, her name was paired with Mo Yan's, which made Guo Xiaoyu take notice of her. Now that he heard her speak up, Guo Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as he thought of something - could it be that this girl had discovered it? So he said softly: "Li Qian, don't worry, tell me your thoughts."
"Ah." Hearing that Guo Xiaoyu actually remembered her name, Li Qian was both excited and nervous, afraid she would say something wrong. Mo Yanyun, who was standing beside her, noticed her expression and quickly touched her arm, saying: "Xiao Qian, hurry up and speak, we won't laugh at you."
Li Qian heard Mo Yan Yun's words and looked up at Guo Xiao Yu's encouraging eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "I just think that children are born cute, why don't we amplify this cuteness? We can even show the cute side of dads to everyone."
After Li Qian said that, Guo Xiaoyu was even more convinced of his own thoughts, but still uncertain. So he continued to say: "You say this and we don't quite understand either, so just go ahead and do it for us to see. You think our part can achieve your effect, then just go do it. Don't worry, if you don't do well, no one will blame you, if you do well, I'll give you credit."
"Ah." Li Qian was stunned, but her good friend Mo Yan Yun wasn't. Guo Xiao Yu had clearly shown his appreciation for Li Qian, and Mo Yan Yun wanted to help her seize the opportunity. Mo Yan Yun also knew about Li Qian's experience at the TV station, but as a newcomer herself, she could only watch anxiously. This time, Li Qian finally had an opportunity, and she couldn't let it slip away again, so she urged: "Xiao Qian, what are you thinking? Hurry up and go do it!"
"Ah, oh." Li Qian seemed to have reacted and pulled out the segment where Dad was cooking lunch, pointing to the part where Tian Yu was cooking and said: "You guys listen carefully, doesn't Tian Yu's voice calling his daughter sound a bit off?"
"It's really like that." The legendary god of subtitles from her previous life was actually the girl in front of her who didn't even dare to speak, Guo Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh: "Someone with such talent, after half a year of internship at the TV station, no one discovered it, and she's bullied all day long. The TV station...”
Sure! Here is the translation:
As expected, when Li Qian wrote out the two characters "Sen Di", the whole room burst into laughter. Everyone was like Li Qian, giving a thumbs up. This kind of thinking is really admirable!
After everyone finished laughing, Guo Xiaoyu cleared his throat and said loudly: "I announce that from this moment on, the subtitles of 'Where Dad Goes' will be fully responsible for Li Qian. I'll just watch from the side and provide reference opinions. If Li Qian and I have different opinions, everything will follow Li Qian's opinion."
"What." As soon as Guo Xiaoyu's words fell, Li Qian hastily shook her head and said, "No way, no way. I'm just an intern, I won't be able to do it." Even Mo Yanyun pulling her didn't work.
At this moment, Guo Xiaoyu made a stunning move. He grasped Li Qian's hands tightly and stared at her with determination, saying in a loud and clear voice: "Believe me, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
For some reason, Li Qian originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Guo Xiaoyu, she inexplicably nodded, and her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.
Seeing Li Qian nodding, Mo Yan Yun and others were very happy. Since entering the crew, they have all seen Li Qian's efforts, this girl who gets up earliest and sleeps latest every day, finally got her due reward.
