Translator: Little_Dragon_ Editor: TheSloth
The 15-minute video clip was indeed a compact version, combining all the splendid shots. Dog Egg was equipped with the top Oscar level Filming Assisting System, hence the filming angles were comparable to professional filmmakers.
B-Dog had a thorough thought. If this version was uploaded, it could attract audience undoubtedly. However, at most, it could be classified as an instant video.
He continued to click into the 30-minute story version. This video surprised him, it added a storyline. There was antecedent which was talking about a weak fatty experiencing the awkward moments in daily life, being a big eater, walking slowly, always panting for breath, occupying one and a half seats on the bus, and after the bitter experiences, finally, he made the decision to be fit.
There was a process where he experienced many kinds of self-torturing training. And also the struggle on his facial expression when he almost gave up. He had no idea how the shots were taken and with the addition of the high-quality background music, he was touched.
There was a data of weight and height which kept changing at the lower right corner of the video clip. It transmitted the feeling more directly. In between of the story, it added the shots which led to flashbacks and had had a continuous smooth flow which was able to absorb the audience.
The first part was the long distance running. It showed many places, the Great Wall, the snowfield, the park, the road and other places. He proved to the others that he kept exercising, never stopping. If he fell, it was okay; he just stood up and continued running. If he was sweating, it was okay; he just drank some water, wiped away the sweat and continued running. In between the shots, one could clearly view the transformation of a fatty to a handsome man.
The second part was about performing Eight Extreme Fist at the park, on the mountain top, in the rented house, at the balcony, and during the climax where he performed at the Great Wall.
It was the first time he watched himself performing Eight Extreme Fist. Transforming from weak to strong, from unfamiliar to knowledgeable, breaking through the overt stage to enter covert power stage and feeling the snow blowing when shook the arms accompanied by the classic song from the Wuxia movie acted by George Lam “The Strong Chinese Man”, he was full of passion while watching the video. After performing a set of the Eight Extreme Fist, the camera filmed down from the sky. The surrounding snowflakes were swiped to a circle, it looked like one of the scenes in the movie “The Grandmaster” where Gong Er was practicing his fist in the snowfield.
Indeed, long distance running and Eight Extreme Fist were his daily routine. This type of editing was appropriate for this video.
The last was the 60-minute version. The story line developed slower, more detailed, and more sentimentally. Frankly, it was flawless.
After making comparisons, he preferred the 30-minute short story version. The time frame was moderate, rhythm was reasonable, splendid shots were frequent, and the turning point of the story was natural. Furthermore, the classic background music added the feature where the audiences would not feel bored and burdened to watch this video.
He was an actor. Although just a temporary actor who was not recognized by the public, he had his insights. Even a nit-picker could hardly find any mistake. If it was posted on Douban.com, the evaluation would get at least 8 marks.
He made the decision. “This is the one!”
“Dog Egg, please make a trailer of “The Wild God of Gourmet” and insert it in the ending part.”
“Hmm… please include my broadcast’s website address.”
The video was completed and uploaded onto YouDou.com, iartschool.com, Station A.com, Station B.com, and other video sharing websites, with the attractive title “The Utmost Motivation! The Comeback Legend of the Loser, Chen B-Dog, Never Giving Up, Pass On the Positive Energy!” Then he did some advertising posts on Weibo as well.
He did not follow the video after that. Instead, he started to check the mission reward. He was clueless that the video clip was shared by Hu Ge. Instantly, it was spread out among the millions of the followers. Soon this excellent video clip was noticed by the administrator of Youku.com and pulled to the home page. The view rate soared up in a night.
The audience preferred watching the video in pop-up comments style as published in Station A. They enjoyed watching the video while chatting happily.
“Collect the mission reward!”
“Ding, congratulations to Master for getting the Survival big pack.”
“Beep, main mission 3 announcement, Master, please make a variety show to broadcast on a Satellite Television, reward unknown.”
“Sub-mission 1 announcement, Master, please gain 200 thousand popularity points. Reward is 1 skill point and one chance at a Grade D lucky draw.”
“Err… the main mission is going to broadcast on a Satellite Television? Isn’t it too difficult? Alright, difficult means challenging. I like challenges. Anyway, Dog Egg, finally you sent me a skill reward.” B-Dog was rather happy. He asked, “Are the future sub-missions that will be related to popularity growth? What grade is the Grade D lucky draw? How many grades are there in total?”
“Stay tuned for the upcoming sub-missions. Grade D lucky draw is the lowest grade. There are five levels of system, S, A, B, C, and D.”
“No problem!” B-Dog could not wait to open the big pack. His face revealed a happy expression.
He received the Survival big pack, inclusive of the biology, phytology, geography, climatology, astronomy, the making of simple cold weapons and other surviving skills plus knowledge. Besides that, there were five pieces of equipment, which was totally what he was lacking now.
…
The next day, when Chen B-Dog came to the office of Panda TV, he saw a pretty girl who was waiting for him. When the pretty girl saw B-Dog walking to her with his bag, she wore an enchanting smile and hopped to his side. “Hello, Lord B-Dog! My name is Xiao Lu, your editor. I came to pick u up.”
“Hello, thank you very much.” Chen B-Dog said it politely.
This pretty girl was rather shy, but she kept peeping at B-Dog.
“Anything on my face?”
The pretty girl was embarrassed, “Nothing, I just noticed you looked better in person.”
Chen B-Dog answered her steadily, “Yes, I admit it, being handsome is my biggest characteristic.”
“He-he, Lord B-Dog you have to take a photo with me and give me your signature, and also leave me your WeChat account number and phone number.”
“You have so many requests. Anyhow since you are a pretty girl, I will satisfy you.”
The pretty girl was amused as she could tell B-Dog was an easy going person. She became bold and started to chat with him. “I watched the video you uploaded yesterday and it was fantastic. Did you make it yourself? It is a hot topic in the network now, Hu Ge has shared it as well. The superstars’ Moments.com pages are flushed with this video.”
B-Dog was surprised, “Hot topic? I have no idea about this. I shall check it out later. Hu Ge and I are quite close, he is a caring person.”
“Really?!” Xiao Lu was shocked. She withheld her curiosity to ask him and introduced the company’s basic organization chart to B-Dog as they walked into the building. They went in and saw the superior, the chief editor, Fan FanFan, she was another intellectual beauty. They shook hands and made some small talk before starting their conversation.
When FanFan looked at B-Dog, she was pretty sure this person had a strong inward character, unlike the funny behavior during his broadcast moments and seemed to have no interest in signing the contract.
She had some detailed discussion with B-Dog then said, “B-Dog, you are the first outdoor anchor signing with Panda. We are preparing Grade B contract, with a monthly salary at thirty thousand. The gifts distribution will be 60:40. You will take the 60. The contract period is one year, and we will have many recommendations. The website is planning to invest in you to be an outdoor top anchor and different kinds of advertising resources will be allocated to you.”
Chen B-Dog kept listening. He waited for her to finish talking before he gave his opinion. “Sister Fan, did you watch my latest broadcast?”
