Chapter 119 The Birth of the Tip of the Tongue - Part 1

"At one time, 120 kilograms of grapes are manually squeezed and crushed like wine, and 100 kilograms of grape puree are obtained. The fruit puree has a fructose and glucose content of the fruit puree. After four hours of boiling, when only 40 kilograms of fruit puree are left, you can get grape honey as sticky as honey..."

"The walnuts are from Aksu, and the date paste is Hotan jujube. Pour it into grape honey while it is hot and stir-fry until it is burnt and crispy..."

Ma Hesha in front of the camera meticulously operates the craft that he has mastered over the past few months in his own kitchen—

Of course, in Qiantang Gaosuiguo's factory, all processes have long been replaced by machines and do not require manual operation. What is here is just a pose.

While operating, Ma Hesha also occasionally talks to his family or assistant according to the situations required by the crew, and explains the process - mainly to emphasize that the cost of authentic Marintang is indeed very high, and it is the reason why it is expensive to sell. This is also the need for national unity. Since his superiors knew that he wanted to cut cakes in this documentary, he has greeted him in this regard.

"Huaxia on the Bite of the Tongue" is a relatively new documentary. Director Chen has been brewing this book for two or three years, and he is still ambitious.

He does not want the image of an interviewer like a reporter in the film, but prefers to completely and objectively watch the monologues of the people in the drama.

So the current shooting format is available.

Ma Hesha's cooking skills are good, but she is easily nervous. She couldn't help but look at the camera when she shouldn't have looked at the camera, so she could only do one more time.

Director Chen sat in front of the monitor, looking at the shooting effect, his eyebrows never spread out. He was still wearing headphones, listening to a draft of dubbing and commentary recorded in advance, and looking for rhythm in his heart.

For any film and television work, dubbing and bgm are the last work (it doesn't count if you use the same sound), and are added after the editing is almost the same.

Because the first draft during shooting and the final film released may have several times the cut ratio, and most of the materials will not appear on the screen in the end, so it is a waste of resources to use them more.

In general, there are nearly one to ten film cuts in the film field. Because the movie only has two or three hours, time is precious, and the narrative density needs to be condensed and sublimated. If you catch up with world-class directors like James Cameron or Spielberg, a 30 to one film cut may appear when you are striving for excellence. For example, Cameron filmed "Terminator 2" or "The True Lies", the main film may only last more than two hours, and the material taken may be sixty or seventy hours.

In the field of TV dramas, because they are not afraid of being odor and taking up long playback time, the cut of feature films is lower, especially the small cost of shoddy production. For example, most idol dramas that debuted in the first place are very good. Documentary films are only rigorous, only 56 to 1.

But even if it is only five to six to one, if you dubbed or narrated the parts that will be cut in the future, it will be a huge waste of resources. The dubbing voice actor may have five times more workloads based on vain.

So what Director Chen listened to in his headphones is just a very rough draft. Before the shooting last night, the staff asked him to record one to find the feeling and rhythm for him.

This is far from the "tips of tongue" copy that later generations heard in the completed version of "The Chinese on the Tips of the Tongue".

The "Tip of the Tongue" was originally accumulated after "The China on the Tip of the Tongue" entered the post-production stage and was only completed under the discussion of the wisdom of the entire crew, and it was not achieved overnight.

It can be said that without this copywriting, the half-pretentious and half-sensational filming attempts in "Huaxia on the Bite of the Tongue" may be less effective than a traditional documentary.

...

"I always feel that this copywriting is too stiff. I can't give that Gudilina so many scenes of talking to herself. Fake it, what young audiences nowadays are most annoying is pretending and preaching."

"Change the copywriting! Increase the scale of narration voiceover to reduce the confessions of the interviewees. We must create a 'simple folk customs' image as a white girl in the northwest. We cannot make her look too wise, let alone make her look shrewd and able to manage. Do you understand?"

While eating lunch boxes, Director Chen was teaching the staff the way to adjust the shooting plan at the simple conference table.

The person in charge of a certain venue nodded repeatedly and complained: "Okay, we'll make arrangements now - but there are no professional post-dubbing actors in the group at all. If the requirements for narration voiceover are too high, how can we confirm the effect on the spot? Why don't we ask the station to book air tickets immediately and call a few from the capital?"

Director Chen scratched his head. If he hired a professional voice actor from CCTV to accompany the group in the early stage, of course, it would be fine. But the expenses would definitely be extra unplanned.

If this film is invested by CCTV itself, then everything is easy to say. But the problem is that this film was filmed with Feng Jianxiong's money, so it's hard to shoot it temporarily and spend more money on the first shot.

Director Chen thought for a while and ordered a staff member standing at the door: "I'll coordinate this matter - who, go and call Xiao Ding and the others for dinner together, I'll tell her."

Director Chen’s mind is like this: after all, voice actors are not as valuable as actors who show their faces, and they are one order of magnitude different. This amount of money is not a big deal after all. He respected Feng Jianxiong, and he still had to spend it.

In other words, he didn't want to wait for Feng Jianxiong to agree, but just wanted to notify the other party and do enough face-saving scenes.

One minute later, Ding Lihui and Ma Hesha arrived.

"Xiao Ding, this is the situation..." Director Chen was not hypocritical, so he just told the situation directly, and emphasized that in order to confirm the shooting effect, he temporarily needed to hire professional narration and dubbing staff in advance. "The investment in the whole play will probably exceed hundreds of thousands - that is, the staff costs required to hire a dubbing actor for half a year. I hope you can tell Mr. Feng."

Ding Lihui naturally had no say. When encountering such a thing, she, as the producer assistant, could only pass the message. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, is there any detailed report? After sorting it out, I will communicate with Xiaoxiong."

"Okay, I'll let them make the entire adjustment plan tonight. You can email Mr. Feng tomorrow." Director Chen said.

He just heard Ding Lihui subconsciously call Feng Jianxiong "Xiaoxiong", but he himself was still calling each other "Mr. Feng" in business. Therefore, Director Chen's inner positioning of Ding Lihui's role has naturally improved slightly.

People who are involved in the media circle have great eyesight. Director Chen naturally knows that Feng Jianxiong’s girlfriend must be Tian Haimo. But this Ding Lihui is probably also his guest of the curtain, but she has no status.

Judging from the unspoken rules in the circle, it is not wrong to judge others by yourself.

This matter was decided so.

But there are novices who don’t know how difficult it is to be a professional voice actor, so they just talk nonsense and make random suggestions.

This little white is the useless cute horse and sa.

She spent some time with Ding Lihui and still had some understanding of Ding Lihui's abilities.

Especially when she had just entered university and was still in military training, she had heard Ding Lihui's school stage programs several times (Ding Lihui retired from the school stage after hosting those programs that welcomed freshmen), and knew that Ding Lihui was the number one female anchor of Normal University in recent years.

Seeing Director Chen asks to hire a professional voice actor from CCTV, it seems that he will spend a lot of money. Ma Hesha doesn't know where he got the courage - maybe he just wants to save some money from his heart.

Then the newborn calf suggested, "Isn't it just a dubbing? Can't you try it with your own people first? Senior Sister Ding has been the anchor of the school and station for several years. A while ago, she was looking for a job and got an offer from the voice of the provincial and station traffic..."

"Sasha! Don't talk nonsense. What do you know about the difference between the two? Voice actors are very professional. Dubbing requires dubbing, the host has the host's requirements, and the narration voiceover is read to the documentary, and there are special requirements." Ding Lihui quickly taught Ma Hesha a lesson, asking her not to embarrass her.

However, Director Chen and other staff members were not angry.

After all, if these words were said from other professional crew members, Director Chen would definitely be depressed - isn't this questioning Director Chen's decision-making and artistic level?

But Ma Hesha is not a professional crew member. She is just a subject of the filming material, a freshman who has not had time to turn 18, a white compatriot, and looks so cute - who is so embarrassed to see such an innocent girl?

"Director Chen, don't be surprised, Sasha doesn't understand either." Ding Lihui also explained with a smile.

"No wonder, everyone can speak freely~" Director Chen seemed very open-minded and smiled so warmly, "What Ma said makes sense. After all, it involves increasing expenses and cannot be made blindly. Then that's it, Xiao Ding, let's give you a chance to try it-

However, everyone's shooting progress is there, and they are very busy, so I said before: I will only give you lunch break. If you can try the effect, you will have to work hard in the past six months. You don't need to say that it is as good as those professional voice actors in CCTV. As long as I can evaluate the effect of copywriting, I don't have to use you in post-production anyway."

Since I took Feng Jianxiong’s money, I always want to give people a chance to show off.

Moreover, Director Chen had already made up his mind: although this proposal was proposed by Ma Hesha, he would give him a chance, and even Ding Lihui would discuss it.

By then, Ding Lihui is not well matched, so she will be embarrassed to propose the second objection plan.

Take the opportunity to block investors' mouths.

Director Chen’s idea was very happy: “Last time I heard Xiao Ding say that she was born like us, and she was born by studying editors and directors. The professional gap between directors and voice actors and anchors is not a little bit. Just because she, a newcomer who has not graduated, can she perform?”
