Bamboo is the embodiment of a gentleman, showing integrity. Although not strong, it is upright, tough and upright. Therefore, the ancients loved bamboo, and there were countless literati and poets who praised, chanted and painted bamboo.
The cold winter has just passed, and many trees have just sprouted buds. Looking at the lush bamboo forest in front of him, Jiang Qiao finally remembered that bamboo is also known as the Three Friends of Suihan.
"I didn't know there was a bamboo forest here." He said as he walked behind with his camera in hand.
"I also discovered it when I jumped down from above to dig for herbs before." Fairy Bai said to herself, "There are many things hidden in the mountains. You can't just look at the surface."
Jiang Qiao nodded and then looked up at the sky. It was probably more than a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain. How could he jump down from here? But no normal person would have such thoughts.
"Which tree should I chop down?"
Fairy Bai took a look and found a slender and straight purple bamboo with a round body and fine and straight texture. It was a good old bamboo and at first glance it was very suitable for making Xiao.
"That's it."
Not long after, Zizhu fell to the ground, and Jiang Qiao took the opportunity to take some great shots at close range, thinking about how to cut it together.
"Is one enough?"
"That's enough, the remaining materials can be made into a flute."
"It's a pity that we don't have the tools, otherwise we could dig some bamboo shoots and bring them back. The cooking would be delicious."
Jiang Qiao looked regretful and decided to buy some farm tools today. Since he planned to make a video about this, he had to be careful and at least replace the kitchen knife.
Fairy Bai dragged the bamboo all the way home. Jiang Qiao put the camera on the ground. When she was far away, he secretly picked it up and looked at the camera effect. The artistic conception was very good.
She looked at the bamboo tree, which was four to five meters long, and was thinking about what to do. After shaving off the excess branches and leaves with a knife, she already had an idea in her mind.
"Rice dog, do you have the tools to punch holes?"
"I looked around and found a tool box I bought when we were renovating it. I seemed to have thrown it in the warehouse."
After a while, Jiang Qiao took out a dusty toolbox from the warehouse and blew it gently, causing dust to fly. Of course, this lens had to be kept.
The tools in the toolbox are very comprehensive, including electric drills, pliers, tape measures, short saws, and various files and screwdrivers.
"Start now?"
"Logically speaking, freshly cut bamboo still needs to be dried in the shade for a period of time. The longer it is stored, the better the sound of the cave flute will be. But I just made it for fun when I have nothing to do, so I don't have to be too demanding."
Jiang Qiao nodded. He didn't understand what he was saying. Anyway, he was just a photographer. He only needed to take pictures of the complete process of Bai Fairy making Xiao.
Just as he was told, he set up a fixed camera position and took out his mobile phone to shoot from another angle. During the process, he also mixed in some additional landscape shots, as well as two cats playing with each other, and the bamboo leaves on the ground became their toys at this time.
Pulling a strand of hair hanging down behind the ear, Fairy Bai cut off a length of about 90 centimeters from the root.
"If you look closely, it seems to be slightly bent. Do you need to straighten it?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"Yes, this step is called roasting the bamboo. After it is heated properly and then straightened, the bamboo will be more perfect."
Jiang Qiao thought of a sentence inexplicably, "The tree is straight in the rope, and it is like a wheel."
He scratched his head: "But I don't seem to have a roaster. Can a gas stove work?"
"No need to bother."
I saw Fairy Bai holding the slightly curved part with her hand, and wisps of heat radiated from her palm. Then she exerted a little force, and the curved part straightened little by little.
"Hey, Yue Ling, no, no, no, this video is going to be posted online. Doesn't it look like you have super powers?" Director Jiang shouted directly.
Fairy Bai blinked: "Then cut out the scene just now?"
"It's not impossible to cut it off, but that would be equivalent to omitting the step of roasting the bamboo. Then someone will definitely say that your method of making Xiao is wrong, so there must be a process of roasting and straightening it, even if it is just one shot. "
She was a little helpless: "Okay... let me think about it, then let's roast it symbolically."
After roasting the bamboo in the first step, the next step is to open the bamboo joints and smooth the inside of the bamboo cavity with a round file and sandpaper.
Jiang Qiao couldn't understand the steps of positioning the drill holes and tuning them. Anyway, he saw Fairy Bai sketching with a tape measure and a pen. According to her, it didn't have to be that troublesome. She could see the perfect location for the drill holes at a glance. But it definitely won’t work when photographed like this, so I still have to make a show of it.
During this period, Little Fulu would stand up naughtily, lift the cat's paw and pat it twice, and then start licking the cat's paw wildly.
It wasn't until the sunset that a purple jade-colored flute with six holes and nine sections was completed. Although it was not polished or painted, it somehow looked like a natural roundness. In terms of appearance, it was not at all It was no worse than the pictures on the Internet. Jiang Qiao secretly guessed that it must have been secretly tampered with by Fairy Bai.
At the end, Fairy Bai stood on the edge of the cliff of Fairy Peak with a flute and sang slowly. In the mountain breeze, the sound was melodious and sad, sometimes humming, sometimes sobbing, and the fairy stone beside her looked like two fallen fairies. .
It's just that Jiang Qiao is a little regretful. If a drone can carry the camera at this time, the picture will definitely be more beautiful.
"Did you just think of Ziweixing?" After saving all the shots, Jiang Qiao looked at the fairy walking from the edge of the cliff and asked.
"How do you know?" The fairy wondered.
He smiled, pointed at Ziyu Xiao and said, "It sounds really nice, like listening to fairy music and my ears are suddenly bright."
Fairy Bai sighed: "I have given it some thought, but I just don't know if I can go back in this life."
Jiang Qiao's body froze slightly.
"There will be a chance." He said slowly, half a step behind, with a bitter tone.
"Huh? Do you really want me to leave? Where else can I run while you are here?"
Fairy Bai suddenly looked back at her, with a charming smile that made Jiang Qiao's heart tremble slightly.
The gods have come down to earth.
"If you don't leave, how can I let you go?" Jiang Qiao stepped forward and gently hugged her, "I'm scared to death now."
"Um?"
"Afraid of leaving you, afraid of my death, what should you do?"
Fairy Bai pretended to be serious and said: "Then I will imprison your soul, or let you be reincarnated with memories, and then I will tease you when you are young, and then let you pursue me in different ways when you grow up. "
Jiang Qiao unexpectedly did not refute. He was a mortal. Even if he cultivated immortality on earth, he could not truly achieve immortality. It seemed that he could not escape that day no matter what.
Even if he is reincarnated, is he still the same person at that time
"I will try my best to prevent you from dying, and I think she will too." Fairy Bai suddenly said in a very serious tone.
"Um."
Smelling the fragrance of her hair, Jiang Qiao agreed softly and said softly: "Yue Ling, actually I have been thinking before, am I very selfish?"
Fairy Bai shook her head: "You took me in for free, helped me, and taught me many things, Cai Gou, you are really a good person."
"I didn't mean this..."
He said helplessly: "It's because I pursue you desperately and make you fall in love with me again, just to live a life without regrets, but I ignore the fact that you are an immortal species. If I die, you will be in endless trouble." Isn’t it too cruel for you to be alone for the rest of your life?”
Fairy Bai was silent for a long time and said slowly: "We can talk about the future later, okay? I just want to live in the present moment."
"good."
As the sun set, the two held hands and returned to the store. Jiang Qiao cleaned up all kinds of bamboo leaves and debris in front of the platform. The remaining three meters of bamboo were kept for the time being. The fairy said that he would probably make some other things in the future. thing.
Jiang Qiao is cooking today. Fairy Bai continues to stay by the balcony and play the flute. She is probably afraid that Jiang Qiao will think too much. The music sounds obviously much lighter at this moment, and the faint sound can be heard far away in the kitchen. , in addition to the word "nice", he can also think of "awesome".
In the evening, we had home-cooked side dishes, plus a side dish tofu soup. Bai Xianzi liked the simple ingredients.
"Have all the shots been taken today?" she asked while chewing the rice.
"Well, it's all filmed, but it still needs to be processed and edited. It would be great if the final film can be 15-20 minutes long."
Jiang Qiao said with excitement, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart. He just thought about staying up all night tonight to cut out the video and publish it. But he knows that there is no need to rush. Excellent content requires more careful polishing.
After dinner, Jiang Qiao sat in front of the computer and opened AE, which he had not used for a long time. He majored in computer science at university and once served as the director of the animation club. He was the one who made the promotional videos back then, and now he is back to editing videos. Old business.
"do you need my help?"
Jiang Qiao smiled: "No, not to mention you don't know how. You have provided excellent material, just wait and see the finished film."
"oh."
Bai Xianzi stared at it curiously for a long time, and found that it was not as simple as she thought. A video often does not last long if the unused footage is removed, even if there are two different cameras doing the same thing in the same second, more He was revising it frame by frame, like peeling off a cocoon, which was very troublesome.
"Can I live stream the game now?" Fairy Bai still doesn't forget about making money through live streaming.
"Okay, okay, uh, just wait a minute."
Jiang Qiao integrated the videos of going down the mountain to the bamboo forest, including the fairy stone in the distance, the weeds on the roadside, and the fairy holding a basket in the picture.
"Is it live broadcast? Let me think about which station is better."
The cut-out video will then be sent to Xianzi's Xiaobo account. Live broadcasting there will definitely not work. There is something wrong with Xianzi's live broadcast style of playing games, which is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Considering that the two platforms with the largest live broadcast traffic in China are Huyu Douya, Bai Xianzi, as a newcomer, seems to be able to go anywhere.
"Then let's fight with teeth. Many big LoL anchors are playing with teeth. I usually watch games with teeth."
Fairy Bai nodded. She didn't understand this aspect. Jiang Qiao said it was whatever he said.
The registration process is not difficult. Use Bai Xianzi’s ID card and mobile phone number to fill in some basic identity information, and then you have your own live broadcast room.
After all, Jiang Qiao had no intention of letting Fairy Bai show her face from the beginning. If he simply broadcasted the game footage, he could do it without a camera.
After downloading the live streaming software and logging into the game, Fairy Bai started playing the game as usual. However, after getting the head, she would pop up to take a look, only to find that there was no one in the live broadcast room.
Jiang Qiao seems to be right, making money through live streaming is not that simple.
