Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

Zhou Shengchen turned to look at Yu Hao speechlessly: "Are you sure you didn't photograph a pile of golden poop?"

Yu Hao snorted: "The toilet tiles just happen to be white. If you poop, I'll go and take a picture."

"abnormal."

Zhou Shengchen shook his head and turned his head away.

On the podium, Ye Jiping seriously considered Yu Hao's words, saying that what Yu Hao said was also self-consistent, and even praised him as good.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao burst into laughter.

Because he knew his own family's situation, he took the photo casually with his phone, placing a yellow ping-pong ball in the middle of a pile of white ping-pong balls, and snapped it in five seconds. He didn't expect that his casual nonsense would actually get away with it.

Ye Jiping addressed the crowd and continued, "Actually, although Yu Hao's work is very simple, it is very convincing."

Hearing his homeroom teacher say that, Yu Hao smiled even more happily.

"Also, it's good to have your own ideas when taking photos, but if others can't understand the content from your photos, it's not very clever."

"Also, if you use your phone to take pictures again next time, I will definitely give you zero points."

Ye Jiping gave Yu Hao a deep look and then spoke to everyone.

"Let me put it this way, all those self-righteous ways of slacking off that you're doing now, I did when I was a student. And the one method I admire most is that of a girl in my class, she was truly amazing!"

"She painted oil paintings in her dorm for five days straight, then took pictures of them and submitted them as landscape assignments. The teacher didn't even notice!"

Chapter 95: Zhong Bai's Jealousy

“That’s it.”

As he spoke, Ye Jiping opened a photograph.

Xiao Haiyang's smile gradually faded. He suddenly looked up and saw the familiar layout, the familiar brushstrokes, and the familiar colors. A bright sense of nostalgia gradually rose in his eyes.

What is frozen in my vision are images that once appeared in my memory: a magnificent sky, a beautiful landscape, wildflowers, lively grass, and stunning natural scenery.

She is as radiant as she is, as vibrant as she is.

A torrent of thoughts washed over him, and he could vaguely make out whose voice it was. Xiao Haiyang was lost in a melancholic haze.

Ye Jiping continued his critique, "Okay, now I'm going to give a detailed critique of the works of three students in our class."

"This belongs to Lin Luoxue."

Lu Qiaochuan looked over, and the two smiled at each other.

"This one belongs to Lu Qiaochuan."

"This one belongs to Xiao Haiyang."

“Look closely, actually, all three of them are taking pictures at the same location. I’ve already told you this before, and it’s obvious whether you’re paying attention or not when you’re taking pictures.”

"Let's take a look at Xiao Haiyang's work first. This is obviously just a random placement and pressing of the button. He didn't even find the horizontal line before taking the picture. The photo is tilted, and the focus is not on the subject, but on - this railing."

Today is truly a magical day. The news of his ex-girlfriend resurfaced, and Xiao Haiyang was lost in deep memories, his face unusually blank and distracted.

"And the photos of Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue were clearly the result of careful consideration."

"Let's talk about Lu Qiaochuan's work first. This photo taken by Qiaochuan is very good. The light, shadow and focus are handled very well."

Noticing the look Zhong Bai gave him, Lu Qiaochuan smiled and made a "V" sign.

Zhong Bai returned a forced smile, his eyes devoid of any genuine joy. Deep within his heart, thorns began to climb and grow, pricking him with a dense, aching pain.

Lu Qiaochuan must have gone to film with Lin Luoxue, no wonder he didn't wait for her this time, it turns out they had already filmed it a long time ago.

"Of course, it would be even better if it were taken with a camera, but your work is already at the limit of what a mobile phone can capture," Ye Jiping analyzed.

Lu Qiaochuan nodded. "I promise I'll use the camera next time."

"Look at Lin Luoxue's work again. All the effects are handled very well. It must have taken a long time to shoot."

Lin Luoxue smiled radiantly, "It won't take too long, and it'll be worth it if we film it well."

Zhong Bai, who had long regarded Lu Qiaochuan as his own, was extremely jealous and unhappy when he saw Lu Qiaochuan going out to take photos with Lin Luoxue behind his back.

After class, Zhong Bai immediately asked Xiao Haiyang where the photos were taken. Xiao Haiyang was preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend and refused to tell Zhong Bai, which made Zhong Bai a little unhappy.

When class resumed, Ye Jiping praised the photos taken by Zhou Shengchen and then continued to comment on the photos of other students.

Finally, Ye Jiping started talking about Zhong Bai's works.

"Zhong Bai's photo is quite standard, and the street is clean and tidy with no pedestrians around. I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Zhong Bai stopped twirling his pen, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes as if he had thought of something: "We went late at night, there weren't many people."

Ye Jiping asked curiously, "I noticed that all the photos you submitted are of buildings. Do you really like lines?"

"No, it's because the architecture is simple, and it's easy to take pictures if we stay there and don't move." Zhong Bai glanced at Lu Qiaochuan after saying this.

Yes, architecture may not understand, but people are always in motion. People who don't like you won't notice your gaze or your steps, and you can never truly touch them, only exuding a sense of etherealness.

After listening to Zhong Bai's explanation, Ye Jiping said, "I suggest you consider other elements. Although the building is stationary, the light and shadow throughout the day are constantly changing, and different weather conditions can also make the building look different."

In fact, turning around might open up a whole new world. You don't have to focus on just one thing, especially when the other person's focus doesn't align with yours.

However, Zhong Bai was persistent, and she didn't find it monotonous.

Ximen Tea Restaurant

Same place, same seat, same taste.

Ren Yifan had finished eating early, his face beaming with joy, and he sat in his seat watching the other two eat.

Zhong Bai kept his eyes straight ahead the whole time, proceeding slowly and methodically, just like Lu Qiaochuan, who was also orderly and unhurried.

Something seems off here!

"It feels like the three of us haven't eaten together in ages," Ren Yifan said with a playful smile, trying to liven things up.

"The first month was particularly busy with a lot of things to do," Lu Qiaochuan explained, his eyes slightly evasive.

·· ········Requesting flowers···· ··

“Yes!” Zhong Bai said sarcastically, his expression displeased. “You spend all your time playing chess and taking photos with Lin Luoxue. How can you not be busy?”

Lin Luoxue?

Brother Zhong's sour tone.

Instantly, Ren Yifan sensed something was amiss, so he quickly turned his gaze to Lu Qiaochuan, wanting to see how he would explain himself.

Lu Qiaochuan looked up at Zhong Bai and sighed helplessly, "Last week I asked you if you wanted to go take pictures with me, and you said you wanted to accompany Li Shuci."

"Li Shuci?" Ren Yifan's eyes lit up.

But Zhong Bai was in no mood to pay attention to him at the moment. She questioned Lu Qiaochuan, "Are you going to let Shuci go to take pictures all by herself?"

"Of course not!" Ren Yifan raised an eyebrow and interjected, "Brother Zhong, you could have called me!"

.. ... ....

Zhong Bai glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Lu Qiaochuan paused for a moment, then said, "Zhong Bai, are you coming with me to take photos this week?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai was overjoyed and asked expectantly, "Just the two of us?"

"We also have to add Luo Xue," Lu Qiaochuan said, lowering his head and stammering.

Seeing Zhong Bai's face darken instantly, Lu Qiaochuan quickly explained that this was an appointment he had made with Lin Luoxue last week, and it couldn't be changed.

Ren Yifan had long understood what was going on between the two, and when he heard Lu Qiaochuan calling Lin Luoxue so intimately, his expression changed.

While giving Lu Qiaochuan a meaningful look to apologize, he stood on Zhong Bai's side and said righteously, "How dare you call me Luo Xue? You pervert!"

Lu Qiaochuan didn't notice Ren Yifan's reminder and told Zhong Bai that she could also add Li Shuci.

Zhong Bai's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

Lu Qiaochuan looked at Zhong Bai and pursed his lips: "We might go to the park this week, and there might not be any buildings you like to photograph. But you can take pictures of other things. After all, taking too many pictures of buildings can get monotonous, don't you think?"

“And me, your best friend,” Ren Yifan interjected.

"Not monotonous at all!" Zhong Bai slammed his chopsticks on the table and retorted to Lu Qiaochuan, "I just love architecture because it's the most genuine thing. Whether it's thundering, raining, or how dazzling the light and shadow, architecture is architecture; it will always stand there. The steel bars inside are still the same, the weight of the cement remains unchanged. I dare to photograph architecture my whole life, do you dare?"

Chapter 96: The Muscle Man's Cry

Zhong Bai likes to photograph architecture because roads and bridges are all forms of architecture.

Zhong Bai never felt monotonous because he was devoted to only one person.

Zhong Bai used architecture to express her unwavering and eternal love for Lu Qiaochuan.

Faced with Zhong Bai's questioning, Lu Qiaochuan hesitated and said, "This has nothing to do with whether I dare to or not."

Zhong Bai lowered her eyes. She understood. Lu Qiaochuan was just like that. He wanted to stay far away from the word "lifetime".

The beauty that is added to the architecture through various means is not something she chooses to accept; it only makes her feel a faint sense of panic—panic that the architecture is no longer architecture, and panic that they are no longer themselves.

Zhong Bai stormed off, afraid of change, afraid that the two of them could never go back to the way they were before, afraid that Lu Qiaochuan would one day belong to someone else.

.........

The "Mental Health Activity Week," an event jointly organized by the school's psychological counseling center and the student union, has finally begun.

Each class's psychological counselor, known as the "2-3-7" team, will help at least two students in the class resolve their various minor anxieties, secrets, and psychological issues.

These kinds of activities are usually not actively participated in, so almost all classes just go by student ID number, chat and have a heart-to-heart talk, and do it as a formality.

Today was the turn of the photography class. At 1 p.m., Bi Shisan, student number 1, arrived at the location on time. Xiao Haiyang, the psychology committee member, was waiting for him there, bored.

"How have you been feeling lately, Bi Shisan?"

Bi Shisan said calmly, "Not bad."

What's your zodiac sign?

"I don't know, I think astrology is pseudoscience."

What's your birthday?
