New Century Anime Warrior

The principal of the provincial key school is indeed quite capable; his rich experience has proven him right about some of the procedures.

On the same day that CCTV received the notification, it sent a list of materials through the Education Bureau, hoping that the school and Si Huan could provide them as much as possible.

This includes the final cut of "Voices of a Distant Star," creation videos, copies of some original artwork and modeling assets, and more.

Along with this came a "Consent Form for Accepting an Interview," which, because Si Hua is only 17 years old, also required his guardian to sign...

After signing, Si Hong made a big show of taking it to the company's materials room for a backup, and specifically asked the office director to help him with it.

He even deliberately asked loudly from his office, across the corridor towards the bureau office, "Have you finished making copies and scanning my CCTV interview consent form yet?"

In short, they were very arrogant.

Si Hua, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He had figured it out. He was only 17 years old. Even if he accidentally said something wrong, CCTV would cover for him. It would just mean a few seconds would be cut.

The principal was genuinely nervous, especially after hearing that there would be follow-up visits from teachers and students; he felt a wave of panic wash over him.

The fear is that if things go wrong, the century-old reputation of the city's No. 1 High School will be ruined.

He came to Si Hua every day to confirm the situation and instructed the homeroom teachers of each class to make sure that the students were in good spirits on the day of the interview and to try not to leave the classroom during breaks.

They also arranged for some teachers and students with good looks and eloquence to be randomly refreshed at key locations from time to time, so that CCTV's interview team could randomly select people.

In this atmosphere, the CCTV interview team boarded a specially provided interview vehicle by Zhongnan City Television Station and traveled all the way from Guangnanfu Airport to Zhongnan City. The principal of the No. 1 Middle School of Zhongnan City was rubbing his hands together in anticipation...

Then the interview vehicle picked up Si Hua and headed straight to Dongliu City, saying that they would first go to Si Hua's home to collect some materials about family scenes.

headmaster:"?"

No, I was about to take my pants off, and you're telling me this?

-----------------

Tang Huijuan felt she had never been so flustered in her life.

She never expected that the CCTV interview team's first stop would be her home.

No, you didn't mention a home visit! I didn't even put on makeup or prepare any new clothes today!

This is so embarrassing!

Si Hong also received the notification. Although he happened to be attending a reception for businesspeople from Dongliu City, the city leaders, upon hearing that it was a CCTV interview team, urged him to rush back to receive the guests and instructed him to make sure to showcase the demeanor of the people of Dongliu.

The CCTV interview team consisted of only three people: a reporter, a cameraman, and a director.

However, since they were from a higher-level department, Zhongnan TV station still arranged a reporting vehicle and two high-ranking staff members to assist them.

The reporter was a bright-looking, slender girl named Su Yanqiu, a name that sounded like a girl from the Wu and Yue regions.

She looks so young, like a female college student still in school.

Using his status as a male high school student to pretend to be young, it was discovered that he took the college entrance examination before he was 16 years old, and was pursuing a combined bachelor's and master's degree at the School of Communication and Television. He graduated with his master's degree at the age of 21.

When Si Hua heard this gossip, his first reaction was, "I'm going to fight you geniuses!"

Su Yanqiu recently became a full-time employee after a year of internship, and this interview should be her first independent appearance on CCTV.

Senior, this must be my own senior, such an amazing person is destined to be my destiny!

According to the director, Su Yanqiu is the only young employee who has joined CCTV in the past two years to openly write "animation" in the hobby section.

Therefore, at the internal topic selection meeting, the director of the social news department insisted that this was always a social event aimed at young people, involving youth, dreams and quality education.

Even if the topic is recommended by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, it must be given sufficient attention.

However, it was still decided to arrange for a young reporter, even if not very experienced, to be the on-camera reporter because of his good looks and knowledge of animation subculture.

So he personally appointed Su Yanqiu as his general.

Moreover, this Xiao Su is a newcomer that the station has been paying attention to, so she should be given more responsibilities.

As for the reason for the attention, there's nothing special, it's just that his image is too good.

After all, who doesn't have outstanding achievements and numerous awards to get into CCTV? Xiao Su's educational background isn't particularly top-notch among CCTV media outlets.

But there are very few young people whose appearance can rival those of those peaceful and prosperous young people; even CCTV itself hasn't seen one for several years.

Su Yanqiu, with her fresh and lovely appearance, was chosen as the reporter for this shoot.

Yes, the photographer and director are two married young men.

They are all very young.

Si Hua watched with great interest as the photographer packed up the light stand, and asked, "Sister Su, is this all there is to my family's section? I feel like my parents are still wanting more."

In his previous life, Si Hua was a cosplay photography enthusiast with a fairly high level of skill. He was also skilled in night scene and studio portrait lighting.

But this was the first time I'd seen national-level photographers and videographers set up lighting for an interview; their methods were simple and unpretentious.

They even used a palm-sized LED light for supplemental lighting as long as the ambient light was adequate, without touching any of the expensive equipment provided in the Central Taiwan Radio and Television Station's interview vehicle.

Realistic scenarios are prioritized, and technology serves to enhance the sense of realism.

This is the core tenet of field photography taught by the senior photographer, and Si Hua said he has learned it.

"Not enough footage? At most, only ten seconds of footage will be used in the final cut." Su Yanqiu hummed a few words. She usually speaks with a slight Jiangnan accent, but her broadcasting voice is very standard when she is working.

Their business skills are outstanding.

During their casual conversation on the road, Su Yanqiu noticed that Si Hua was "pretending to be young" from time to time.

Yes, a 17-year-old high school student is pretending to be young, that's what Su Yanqiu's intuition tells her.

Sometimes, when he doesn't put on a good act, the way he speaks and acts doesn't even seem like someone his own age... He seems more like a 30 or 40-year-old middle school student?

"Oh, I thought I was going to film a lot of footage at home."

"Any scene depicting everyday life can be enough; it's the most down-to-earth and relatable."

Su Yanqiu answered while organizing her workbook.

Although the director was there to ensure the quality of the interview, Su Yanqiu still insisted on doing her own content check and process record.

Furthermore, I selectively learned the work details I needed from the two senior colleagues, such as asking about the choice of lighting environment when conducting field interviews, so that I could adjust the light ratio on my face myself so that I would not look out of place in front of the camera and would not affect the interviewees.

All I can say is that this woman is terrifying.

"I see."

"Alright, let's move on to the next scene."

-----------------

The entire interview lasted two days. After all, he wasn't a professional, and Si Hua wasn't sure if this was efficient or normal.

Because "Voices of a Distant Star" was mostly created and completed in the multimedia classroom of the No. 1 High School, the interview team also spent the most time on campus.

Not only were the campus scenery of the No. 1 Middle School photographed, but students and teachers were also filmed in many shots. Each time, the principal would find some excuse to join in the fun.

Even when the camera was empty, he would wander around near the lens.

The principal was very satisfied with his actions... No matter how much CCTV cuts footage, can they cut me out too?

"Goodbye, Sister Su, I'll miss you!" As one of the interviewees, Lin Lin also joined the farewell party, waving her little hand vigorously.

On the second day of the interview, Su Yanqiu met the singer of the theme song for "Voices of a Distant Star," but she immediately fell in love with this energetic, innocent, and kind-hearted young woman.

And she's so tall and beautiful. It's amazing that a small high school like ours has a girl whose looks are just as good as mine.

Wow, I really want to stick my finger to a pretty girl.

So he immediately added Lin Lin on WeChat...

Si Hua rolled his eyes at the sight. He had gotten this future senior's WeChat during dinner, and he had to put in a lot of effort to add her.

As a result, Lin Lin captivated Su Yanqiu at first sight. Is it true that good looks are everything?

"Goodbye, Linlin! When you come to Beijing, be sure to visit me! And please send me messages on WeChat often, I don't mind."

After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, she looked at Si Hua and said, "Little Brother Si, you can also send me messages, but I might reply a little slowly."

"..." Si Hua waved his hand weakly; he was already used to the other person's speaking style.

This Ms. Su is clearly from the Jiangzhe region, but her straightforward personality, like her bright and generous face, is very Northeastern; she can wear her love, hate, and passion on her sleeve.

"When the news footage is officially broadcast, remember to be mentally prepared."

"Because the big one is taken."
