Chapter 53 Awesome Editing
The other party simply downloaded their own video and then re-edited it.

After watching the video, the first line that came to Li Younan's mind was Chen Guokun's line from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle": "See that? That's professionalism!"

Compared to this video, my edit is just a mess...

The other party didn't use any new material; because Li Younan hadn't disabled download permissions on his video, they downloaded it and re-edited it, resulting in very poor video quality. Even so, the video's quality was so high that Li Younan felt even a professional director couldn't have achieved that level.

Firstly, in terms of structure, compared to my own chronological record, this video has a beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, and the content has changed from a dry and straightforward narrative to a dramatic and suspenseful story.

The scene begins with a headline: "What's it like for a tourist to experience being an extra in Hengdian for the first time? They're grabbed by the director to be the male lead's stunt double and even have intimate scenes with the beautiful female lead."

Li Younan couldn't help but admire it; just seeing the title was enough to pique the audience's curiosity. The words "tourist's first time," "male lead's body double," and "intimate scene" immediately created a huge contrast and suspense.

Continuing on, the video then shows the landmarks that represent Hengdian. Finally, a young, pleasant male voice enters the frame; this is not an AI voice, it's clearly a real person's voice.

The most ingenious part was that the voice wasn't a broadcaster's tone, but rather a voice that instantly conjured up a handsome image in one's mind, perfectly matching Li Younan's appearance. Although Li Younan didn't think his voice was unpleasant, he certainly couldn't match the emotion in this kind of voice acting.

Subsequently, as the camera shifts and the first-person narration unfolds, this short story takes place in a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.

Here, the copywriting naturally conveys a "whatever" or "I just wanted to give it a try" vibe. Combined with the previous title, the emotional contrast when someone is suddenly chosen as the male lead's stunt double because of their somersault skills and appearance is so striking that even Li Younan, the person who filmed the video, felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

What was supposed to be a relaxing, experiential video was edited into something that felt like a feel-good story.

The only selfie where he shows his face, with the line "Family, I'm going to get my hair and makeup done again," is switched to the original audio of the video. This scene becomes the climax of the entire video, the release point for all his emotions.

The best part is at the end, where the video uses a lighthearted, teasing tone to say that there are intimate scenes with the female lead, but they can't be released for confidentiality reasons. This leaves the audience with something to enjoy while also leaving them with endless room for imagination.

Li Younan put down his phone, sighed softly, and felt a deep sense of admiration. He was truly impressed.

Suddenly, he remembered something. It was early morning, and the other party replied to his message instantly by sending this video. Even a fool would know that such a well-made video with editing and voice-over could not have been completed in a short time.

Li Younan picked up his phone again and asked hesitantly, "Brother, you didn't stay up all night editing this, did you?"

The other party replied: "Never mind that, just tell me, isn't it better than your video?"

Li Younan sent three tearful emojis in a row: "That's amazing!"

The other party then said, "How about you send me your original footage? If you have any other videos, you can send them to me as well."

While moved, Li Younan didn't lose his composure. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother, what are you after? Why don't you charge me a fee? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

This statement silenced the other party for a long time before they sent a message: "The main subject of this video is you. Would I plagiarize your material? As for what I'd gain? I just couldn't stand it, and my OCD kicked in."

The other person's image suddenly became unfathomable in Li Younan's mind. Without a doubt, this hot-tempered guy was absolutely professional, handling everything from scriptwriting and editing to voice-over flawlessly. If it was all done by one person, it was truly terrifying.

Li Younan's only concern was the copyright issue. What if he sent the original material to a stranger? Didn't they say there were clone accounts online? But then he suddenly chuckled. Just as this grumpy guy said, he was the main character in the video, and all the creative ideas revolved around him. Besides, he didn't have much of a following right now, and he wasn't even a small streamer. Who would clone a streamer like him?
Moreover, with this level of skill, their original videos would definitely go viral.

Is this grumpy guy really just bored and heartbroken to see himself turn a pot of good ingredients into a culinary disaster?

With that in mind, Li Younan made a decision. But just in case, he replied, "My video footage is all on the cloud drive, I'll have to send it to you later."

The other party replied: "Okay, I was just about to catch up on some sleep."

Li Younan sighed. It seemed the other person had really stayed up all night making the video. What an incredibly talented and incredibly bored guy...

Li Younan certainly wasn't delaying the video transfer because it wasn't on his phone. Being a computer science graduate, he spent the entire morning adding digital watermarks to all the video footage. While this wasn't 100% foolproof, the cost of cracking the watermark definitely outweighed the potential profit from the theft, and that was enough.

After sending all the videos in a package, Li Younan thought for a moment and then sent the grumpy guy a 200 yuan red envelope.

After finishing this task, Li Younan began to consider the next step.

He is currently located in Dongyang City. His journey took him from Binhai City to Lin'an City and then to here, generally heading south. He didn't think too much about it when he set off; he just took it one step at a time.

If he continues south, there are two main directions: one towards Wenzhou and the other towards Lishui. To be honest, there are still many places to visit in these areas, and if he tries to follow a set route to check off everything, his time for the next month or two will be quite limited.

Li Younan thought for a moment and decided to change his approach, focusing on the travel experience and going wherever he wanted. Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly received a message from Jing Chaoyi.

Jing Chaoyi cut straight to the point, asking, "Senior, where are you traveling to? I'm thinking of going to a youth carnival, but I need someone to go with. Are you free?"

Li Younan was somewhat surprised, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Where is that carnival?"

Jing Chaoyi said, "In Xiamen."

Li Younan wasn't very good at geography. He checked the map on his phone and saw that Xiamen was quite far away. Although Zhejiang borders Fujian, driving there would involve crossing a long distance. Li Younan thought for a moment and asked, "What time is it?"

Jing Chaoyi said, "There are still ten days left. It will officially begin around the time when students start their summer vacation, which is also the end of the plum rain season in Xiamen. It will last for a week."

Li Younan calculated that if he drove there, he would definitely have enough time, but that would be too tiring, and he certainly wouldn't be able to complete all the checkpoints along the way. But after thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I can't give you an answer right now. Can we wait a few days and see?"

Jing Chaoyi said, "Okay."

Li Younan focused his attention on NB City on the map.

There's a photo spot there, and an airport too.
