How Are Movies Made？
你知道电影幕后的“故事”吗？
The process of making a movie began long before the cameras started rolling (启动). Anyone who works in film can tell you that a lot of work goes on behind the scenes. It leaves many movie fans wondering: How are movies made
All movies start as just an idea. Many writers, actors, and directors carry notebooks to write down ideas that come to them during the day. The best ideas grow in their minds until they’re big enough to become a film.
Once an idea has had some time to grow, the next step is to write a script (剧本). It breaks up the story into scenes and lays out the action and dialogue for the characters in the story. It is written long before filming starts and guides everyone who works on the movie.
In most cases, the next step is to make a storyboard (剧情梗概系列图片). It helps writers and directors decide what the movie will look like. Many people draw storyboards by hand.
Is it time to film yet Not quite! It takes many people to make a movie. Before filming, moviemakers must find the right people to make a movie. And for big movies, they might need hundreds or even thousands of people.
After everything is in place, it’s time to get the cameras rolling. Everyone involved in the film travels to the chosen location. There, they shoot each scene until they get it just right.
After filming, the job continues. Editors (剪接师) put different footage (连续镜头) together and then add music and anything else needed to complete the film. When they’re done, the movie is finally ready for the big screen.
All in all, shooting a film often takes between six and eight months. Filmmaking is a long and difficult process, but it is also full of fun. Do you want to have a try

When we think of popular music, the first thing that comes to our mind is disco, country and rock. In fact, the term “popular music” can be used for all kinds of music that is written to be popular.
The revolution (革命) in popular music came in the 20th century. As serious concert music grew more difficult to understand, it grew less able to fill the needs of the mass market (大众市场) for music. However, popular music met that need. What's more, powerful new technologies were developed, one after the other, to help the spread of music to the masses: the radio, movies, and finally, the television. It is no wonder that, over the past century, popular music has grown to an amazing degree. Today popular music, also called pop music, enjoys the widest audience (听众) in the world.
The Beatles, one of the most popular successful pop groups in history, did a lot to influence the pop music world. They were four young men from Liverpool, England. Early Beatles' songs were written in traditional forms. Their lyrics gradually became much softer, like the song Yesterday. Under their influence rock and roll became more commonly known as rock music. During the mid-1980s, the music industry had quick development. In 1982, Michael Jackson's Thriller album (唱片集) became the biggest-selling record in history.
Although there have been great changes in the technology used to produce popular music over the past few years, some parts of it remain unchanged. It continues to be one of the favorite musical forms loved by young people all over the world.Abing
