"Come on!"
Gu Qing gave Yu Kai some final words of encouragement, and also encouraged herself.
He has already completed the collection of relevant audio and video images during his vacation. Next is the editing and processing, and finally the dubbing.
He was no stranger to editing.
Although war correspondents are only interviewing or filming on the front lines, they are also responsible for some post-production work.
Because of images and sounds, the information they convey is often only truly understood by frontline reporters.
In order to avoid losing the key points due to post-production editing, Gu Qing will also participate in the post-production process.
But right now, the most important thing is to attend classes.
Gu Qing, who entered the classroom just in time, unsurprisingly received a wave of stares.
Seeing Jiang Ziran beckoning to him from the back of the classroom, Gu Qing sat down directly.
I greeted them, but before I could say more than a few words, the session ended with the arrival of the instructor.
Although it wasn't the first time Gu Qing had taken this course, it was the first time she had met the old professor who was teaching it.
Previously, this course had been taught by the professor's teaching assistant, which was not surprising.
The old professor arrived empty-handed, without even his lesson plans. He glanced at the students, his gaze lingering on Gu Qing's face for two seconds before he joked:
"No wonder the teaching assistant said that no one ever missed my class, which made me think I was very popular. The reason is actually this!"
A simple sentence made everyone smile, and at the same time, they understood the old professor's style.
Using this topic as a starting point, the old professor went on to talk about the fundamental philosophy of relationships between men and women.
Compared to the teaching assistant's rote recitation, the professor was quite adept at teaching.
The dry, basic philosophy course was turned into a stand-up comedy routine, constantly eliciting laughter from the audience.
But after laughing, one can't help but ponder its meaning.
If in the past, there might have been students who didn't miss the course because of Gu Qing's presence.
So, after this class, they will probably really fall in love with the course because of an old professor.
151. A New Gift
"I heard from my older sister that your copywriting is finalized?"
In the third canteen, which is relatively close to the teaching building, Jiang Ruoyun and Gu Qing were having lunch together.
"The final draft is here. It took more effort than I expected," Gu Qing said.
His original plan was to complete his first work after military training.
Unexpectedly, even after the October holiday, we had only managed to complete 70% of the task.
There are two reasons.
First, the final drafting process took a considerable amount of time and was more difficult than anticipated.
Secondly, because he lacked financial pressure, he became somewhat procrastinating.
"Gu Qing, you're so good-looking, you could easily become an internet celebrity just by showing your face. Why do you insist on doing political commentary and history popularization?"
To be honest, Jiang Ziran didn't quite understand Gu Qing's choice.
If the goal is to become an internet celebrity, enjoy the feeling of being followed by fans, or for economic gain...
With Gu Qing's stunningly beautiful face alone, she could probably do it with ease.
The niche field that Gu Qing chose was, frankly, an extremely niche field.
Not only does it require a lot of knowledge accumulation and research, but it also requires enduring the pressure of being attacked at any time.
Moreover, even if it's done well, its income and level of attention are far less than those of entertainment-oriented self-media.
Moreover, it's even more difficult to build a following in this field.
Therefore, in Jiang Ziran's view, the niche field that Gu Qing chose was indeed the kind that was somewhat thankless and difficult.
What's even more inexplicable is that, considering his speculation about Gu Qing's family background, even if Gu Qing were to enter politics and pursue a career in government, the self-media in that field could easily cause some trouble later on.
For those involved in politics, the worst thing is to talk too much.
Whether it's right or wrong, it won't work.
"Because I like it," Gu Qing replied.
Men in my past life, once they reached a certain age, would never refuse a macro-narrative.
Gu Qing was once caught up in the torrent of history. Although he was unable to change history, he was a participant and a witness.
For this reason, Gu Qing was well aware of the importance of current affairs, as they were closely related to everyone.
Even if you're not interested, it's there and it affects your life all the time.
"No wonder you and my older sister get along so well..."
Jiang Ziran shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
With Gu Qing's face, figure, temperament, demeanor, and "unique" hobbies, it's a real shame she's not the son-in-law of the Jiang family.
I just don't know if my silly older sister still has a chance.
There is only one class in the afternoon.
After class, Gu Qing went straight home.
Su Xiyue rushed off to participate in a club activity.
Gu Qing didn't know which specific club it was.
He did ask, but the girl winked at him mysteriously and said it was a secret for now.
After returning home, Gu Qing took a shower to wash away the sweat from her journey, then turned on the air conditioner and sat down in front of her computer.
The editing of the video footage is nearing completion. After this part of the work is finished, the next step is to add voice-over.
For the kind of long-form science videos produced by Gu Qing, good audio quality can make it easier for viewers to immerse themselves in the content.
Considering that my final draft is more serious and rigorous, with little entertainment or humor, I should choose a steady and powerful tone.
Therefore, there are three options regarding voice acting.
First, hire a professional announcer.
Without spending a lot of money, there are plenty of part-time students majoring in broadcasting.
However, the broadcasting style always gives people the feeling of watching TV news, which may not be so suitable for Gu Qing's videos and may even be easy to break the immersion.
Second, AI voice-over is used.
AI voice-over technology is now quite advanced, with hundreds of voice options available, ensuring there's always one that suits your needs, and it saves time and effort.
However, due to the widespread use of AI voice-overs, they are also prone to being similar to each other.
For the audience, too many similar timbres are definitely not a good thing.
Finally, Gu Qing himself did the voice acting, using his own voice.
This was also Gu Qing's initial idea.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to live off-campus during his university years.
However, some equipment is needed before we can begin.
A microphone, monitoring headphones, a professional external sound card, tuning software, etc...
Gu Qing had already placed the orders and downloaded the necessary items.
After reviewing his nearly 20,000-word manuscript again, Gu Qing stretched, finally reaching the final stage of his work.
Afternoon 5: 35
Gu Qing sent a message to Su Xiyue, asking her to pick up the package for him on her way home.
The equipment he ordered online has arrived.
After seeing the girl reply with "OK", Gu Qing went to the kitchen, looked at the empty refrigerator, shook his head and went downstairs.
Half an hour later, Gu Qing, who had just stepped out of the fresh food store in the community, ran into Su Xiyue, who was carrying a package, at the entrance of the building.
"Gu Qing, give me the things!"
When Su Xiyue saw Gu Qing, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to help Gu Qing carry the packages.
Gu Qing naturally shook her head and refused.
After arriving home, Gu Qing tidied up her things, but instead of rushing to unpack the packages, she went into the kitchen first.
After taking a shower, Su Xiyue changed into a thin ice silk nightgown, revealing her curvaceous figure.
Gu Qing glanced at it, then dared not look any longer.
