I want to first talk about the concept of studying media in the United States. I am now a senior, studying communication/broadcasting at a private university in the United States. Before, if you asked me why I chose this major, I can only tell you honestly that when I was in high school, I was a student who was not favored in the nerd school. I watched a few movies and felt that I would become a special one in the future. A terrific director, but the fact is that I am now in an unfamiliar university, paying expensive tuition, and learning the profession of a basketball player. What is the profession of a basketball player? In other words, most of the basketball players in the school chose the media major. If you ask why, the answer is because it is easy to learn and easy to graduate. When I make friends in the U.S. and ask about my major, I usually say oh after I answer, and the topic is over. In the United States, whether it is a well-known university or a community college that no one knows, the majors you can find, the majors that seem to be able to take over any job after graduation, are actually the least favored. At least there is a middle pass and a radio and television station in the country. It is either handsome or talented, or the back door and wallet are too hard.
During the summer vacation, I returned to China to attend a gathering of my dad’s college friends. Among the four juniors present, three were abroad, including me, and the other two were both studying medicine, and one of them was still at Yale. So when I reported that I was reading the media, I suddenly felt lost.
Then get back to the subject and talk about the movie itself. The United States has made many aspiring films with similar themes through continuous efforts to create a sky, so China followed suit and filmed Du Lala’s promotion. Morning Glory's story line is very clear, the story is very smooth and concise, there are almost no extra parts, so a person who can tell the story is often the main reason for the success or failure of the story. The script of the movie is well written, and the movie is easy to shine. What's more, the part about love is simply described, no more, no less, and it will not make people forget that this story is actually about how a girl achieves success by her own efforts. The handsome and handsome man in this story is just a minor supporting role.
The heroine is a small character with no diploma who works hard in the morning news with her own efforts. She is loved but has no private life of her own, no time to fall in love, and even dates in the afternoon.
In China, I am often asked, and even when I explain it to my parents countless times, they will ask me one question is, what are you learning about media? Writing news, interviews, carrying a camera, taking pictures, doing miscellaneous in the live room (setting up a stage, lighting, audio and video), production supervisor, public relations, marketing planning, sales, advertising, all of these have to be learned. After learning, what about graduating? No one wants it.
Why no one wants it, because you are studying media, which is not reliable. So in fact, everyone who studies media loses after getting a graduation certificate. What you once thought is that Wanjinyou can only give you a basic salary job, so it's better to be a waiter and earn a tip.
But there are some perverts, such as me, but doing this very excitedly, it is more enjoyable than playing chicken blood. When I was shooting an interview, I took a B-roll that I thought was particularly good, so I really wanted to cut the film as soon as possible. I didn’t feel annoyed with the Final cut pro all afternoon. When the weather was good, I felt good to shoot everything. I recorded the show on the broadcaster. At that time I felt that time passed very fast. I think at least what I am doing every day is a happy thing. Although I don’t have anything particularly awesome, I don’t know what would make a good job and I got caught by the wrong door, but I can only be cut clean by the praise film. I feel that I can continue to do this until I am too old to go.
Of course I know that I am far from those who are really behind the scenes. In the movie, there is a scene where the director of the show is cutting the machine with a baton, and the sense of fluency instantly throws me half of the earth. The three-camera monitoring station is already my limit. I once wondered how the director of the Super Bowl would switch between screens in front of hundreds of cameras.
I am in the United States, speaking a second language to communicate with people. Although sometimes I am proud of being praised without an accent, I deeply know that I can't end up being a reporter as an anchor. Although I have had a grand goal to enter a big TV station (even if it is a miscellaneous), in reality, it is a good plan if I can do post-production in a small-cost production company, accumulate experience, and then start my own company to make short films for others.
The age of dreaming has passed. The reality is that I have to work hard every day, because I have studied a profession with a less promising future, but I have a dream that I believe I can do well.
