Chapter 578
After returning from the peninsula, Lu Qingfeng resumed his peaceful campus life.
"You're about to be sophomores, have you decided what major to choose?"
After the morning classes ended, I went to the cafeteria for lunch with my roommates Guo Hao and Zhang Jingyi. On the way, Guo Hao asked me...
"Chinese Language and Literature".
Lu Qingfeng replied.
The Chinese Department at Peking University has four undergraduate specializations. Chinese Language and Literature mainly focuses on literary history, literary theory, literary criticism, and creative concepts.
He had already determined this a long time ago.
Me too.
Zhang Jingyi followed up.
"What about you?"
"Applied Linguistics".
Guo Hao's chosen major is actually an interdisciplinary major, which requires not only studying classical Chinese, theoretical linguistics, and modern Chinese studies, but also simultaneously learning advanced mathematics, programming and algorithmic structures.
This major is the least prominent and most difficult major in the Chinese Literature department. Only a few people graduate from here every year because many people can't stand it and choose to switch majors.
This is something only a top student can learn.
Guo Hao is very smart. He and two others failed the Peking University Literature Cup and then got in through the regular entrance exam.
Of the four people in the dormitory, he had the best grades, but the key point is that he didn't seem to study very hard; he played when he was supposed to.
outrageous.
"Where's Fei-ge?"
Wu Yongfei, the eldest in the dormitory, and his childhood sweetheart have finally gotten married. After class, he went straight to be with his girlfriend and didn't join them.
"I don't know."
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, everyone went to get their food and then found a seat.
"Damn it, why do you always have so much more food on your plate than we do when we get our food? That's not fair!"
As soon as he sat down, Guo Hao looked at the pile of food on his plate and complained.
Don't you know the reason?
Sitting across from him, Zhang Jingyi casually uttered this remark, and Guo Hao immediately slumped down.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled.
"Next week is the Yenching University Student Film Festival. I have tickets. Do you want to go?"
"Go! Go! Go."
The two nodded repeatedly.
The China University Student Film Festival, which began in 1993, is held in many cities, with the largest and most influential one in the Beijing area.
Young people are the main audience for movies.
Therefore, during this period of year, many films will hold preview screenings during the event, hoping to use positive word-of-mouth to boost box office revenue after the official release.
That's how "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was made, which is why Lu Qingfeng had tickets given to him by the creative team.
Tickets are limited, so I can bring my roommates and Liu Xin along.
After finishing his meal, Lu Qingfeng went to Lao Jia's recording studio to listen to "Ode to Dionysus," which was in post-production. This piece was the theme song for the game character "Light Source."
After returning from the peninsula, he devoted his spare time to this piece of music. He spent three days creating the melody and then handed it over to Lao Jia for post-production.
After pointing out a few things that didn't meet my expectations, I went back to class in the afternoon.
After class ended in the evening, I had dinner and spent some time in the library with my roommates. Around 8 p.m., I said goodbye to a few people and went to my rented apartment.
I haven't lived here for a while, and it feels a bit dusty.
Lu Qingfeng rolled up his sleeves and began to tidy up, but his mind was elsewhere.
Summer vacation is just around the corner, so it's time to plan and make many things in advance.
Although there are already quite a few confirmed schedules: a research trip for the second album, two concerts at home and abroad, and being a guest performer at pop star Huo Yingjie's concert.
These are all related to music.
There has been little activity in the literary field.
I submitted a travel essay and a piece titled "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" to the magazine "Harvest" at the end of May, but I haven't heard back yet. Even if I do, it won't be published until July.
Lu Qingfeng was quite nervous about his first attempt at realistic literature, wondering how it would be received.
However, we can't keep waiting. We still need to continue publishing other types of novels. The current plan is to release the Harry Potter series and the Sherlock Holmes series.
He's considering which book to write first.
I haven't written any medium-length or long fairy tales this year. Logically, I should have written "Harry Potter" first, but considering that "Children's Literature" is working on the Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Award for "The Blue Shore of the Sky".
The results should be out in September, so it would be more appropriate to release Harry Potter then.
Therefore, Lu Qingfeng will focus his creative efforts on the Sherlock Holmes series for the next period of time.
I tidied up a bit, mainly changing the sheets and duvet covers. I'll leave the rest to the cleaning lady tomorrow.
After taking a shower, he went to his study, sat down at the computer, and tried to start writing, but he couldn't calm his mind and felt like he was missing something.
what?
He sat in his computer chair and turned around. He saw the sketch he had drawn in the corner, and a fleeting clue caught his attention.
He picked up his phone and opened Bilibili.
The account he used to record his painting learning process hadn't been updated in a long time. The account, named Yingning, showed more than 500 followers. He opened the last uploaded video.
The video has just over a thousand views, seven bullet comments, and two comments.
It's just the most ordinary kind of account, used for casual purposes.
Lu Qingfeng ran his hand through his hair and rubbed his scalp. He had been too busy for the past month or two and had even finished managing this account that he originally planned to focus on.
It's not too late.
This account has posted 23 videos so far, all of which are his still life and portrait sketching process. If it continues to be this kind of video, it will probably only attract a limited number of people.
Lu Qingfeng felt he could start drawing something more appealing.
Bilibili started with anime and manga, and although it later expanded into a broader knowledge-based field, its core essence remains unchanged. In the art section, nothing is as effective as drawing anime and manga characters.
Regardless of whether Lu Qingfeng deliberately created an account to become a content creator or not, his main purpose was to add a cultural label to himself.
Therefore, simply drawing two-dimensional characters is not very meaningful; you still need to create your own.
What to draw?
Lu Qingfeng had actually thought about this problem long ago.
He was too busy to consider works that required long-term serialization to have an impact, and in terms of content, he didn't consider works that were visually striking but required a lot of time to depict details.
Keep the scenes simple and the lines not too complicated. Rely on the storyboard and interesting content to grab people's attention.
After comparing his past and present lives, he quickly settled on a particular work.
I picked up a paintbrush and started drawing on the paper.
In no time, a cat and a mouse appeared on it.
The cat has blue fur, white paws, and is holding a mousetrap, chasing a brown mouse.
The cat and mouse also have their names written on their heads.
Tom and Jerry!
