Although Mr. Zhang Yishen said that he received the rough script of "Trafficking Crime" at the end of May, in fact, as early as a year ago, Yao Yuanqian learned of the preparations for filming and had already asked Zhang Yishen and his team to prepare the song intensively...
I got the script and I quickly got inspiration for the songs I had been preparing for this year!
In less than half a month, it was released. After evaluation by Xia Yu and two others, it was successfully passed——
The editing of "Trafficking Crime" went smoother than expected.
More than half a month ahead of schedule, the editing was officially completed on June 28th.
"Phew, it's finally finished. Damn the movie, I still have to cut it in the future!" Dai Chengbi was surrounded by a bunch of messy materials and machines in the editing room. When the last scene of the film was cut, he lay on his back without any image.
On the ground——
That look seemed to be inviting Xia Yu, "Come, let's show off together!"
"Stop showing off, get up quickly, pack your things, and send them to the trial immediately."
Eighty steps away from reaching the finish line, it’s so slippery!”
Seeing that he still didn't move, Xia Yu had no choice but to take out his trump card, "Should Xixi get up?"
"Okay, okay, Chairman Xia has spoken. How dare I, a young director, not listen?"
Xia Yu looked at him with a smile, not even bothering to expose his "poor acting skills!"
"The honor of being the number one daughter slave in the directing world will be awarded to you later..."
"Hey, then I really deserve the title!"
The two exchanged a few careless words, and then began to plan the preservation and recording of the final film!
Why Dai Chengbi has not made much money while making movies for so many years? Mainly because he is too "self-critical". When digital movies have begun to become popular in the industry, he still insists on film movies. First, although in the era of digital movies every year,
As time goes by, the colors become more vivid and saturated, but they also have shortcomings and are not realistic enough!
It’s not that digital movies are bad, they also have many advantages, such as fast production, fast editing, and low price——
It is very suitable for shooting commercial blockbusters.
But movies, especially literary and artistic films, are all about truth——
What is reality?
The so-called reality is "burning money" and burning it out.
You think about it, the cheapest roll of film costs about ten yuan, and the more expensive ones are tens to hundreds. One roll only takes thirty or fifty pictures, and film shooting requires dozens of pictures per second. Otherwise, what about the previous movies?
, burning money every second?
A movie takes a total of two to three hundred minutes, three to four hundred minutes -
This doesn’t even count the finished film, it doesn’t count the film being shot and wasted.
But the final effect is really good!
After staying up all night, I finished editing at eight o'clock. I didn't wait until I woke up in the afternoon and continued working until twelve o'clock. On this day, I stayed up for a full twenty hours and finally completed the recording of the movie to meet the standards——
"It's all done. I'm going to send it to trial. What should you do? Call a taxi?"
"No, I've already sent a message to Sister Xue Tong. She'll be here in a moment!"
As for the other materials to be submitted for review, they had been prepared long ago. They reviewed them again, collected the materials, and called a driver. Dai Chengbi went directly to the review building. His posture did not look like he was going to submit for review, but like he was going to fight.
Isn't it just to go to war?
Whether it can pass review and how much content may need to be deleted - these are all things that need to be debated.
…
Editing of "Crime", Yao Yuanqian has been paying attention.
The front foot learned that the editing was completed and submitted for review, while the back foot guessed that Xia Yu should wake up.
I just called, what can I say? I didn’t just ask about the variety show.
This is related to whether Great Wall Film and Television can eat the first piece of cake and occupy the market share in the future development——
With Yao Yuanqian's ambition, he probably wouldn't like even a small share!
So even now, I haven't officially discussed the "remuneration" issue with Xia Yu.
But come to think of it, as long as Xia Yu has the guts to ask for it, 90% of the time he won't refuse——
Xia Yu actually didn't sleep all day, more than twenty-four hours.
After Dai Chengbi was sent for trial, Xia Yu went back to the manor as soon as possible, and she was in very good spirits. Even though she had not slept for more than twenty-four hours, the sense of accomplishment she felt right after the editing was completed made her particularly excited.
"Then stay up for a while, it's time to get back the jet lag. Don't live in China and experience the jet lag in Europe!"
Teacher Yong Xia feels sorry for her, but she supports Xia Yu in any decision she makes and helps her find various "excuses!"
"How does it feel to do post-production for the first time?"
This is what the old man asked. He has been making movies for decades, and he basically handles the post-production by himself. In the past two months, although he did not come to the editing room, Xia Yu occasionally turned around and asked the old man back.
"Remote guidance!"
The novelty is secondary, the main thing is, "it opens the door to a new world!"
She said, "It turns out that there is another career that is as interesting as acting!"
This "profession" is not limited to editors alone - directors and screenwriters are both.
"Trafficking Crime" is her result of more than a year, and she never feels that the performance will be boring.
But there will indeed be periods of boredom, lack of inspiration, and lack of follow-up energy. Xia Yu knows that this is a bottleneck period.
Sometimes it's not about skills, but about mentality, and it doesn't mean that it can be eliminated by entering the system and experiencing immersive courses. It's caused by the lack of perfect integration of mentality and experience.
The emergence of these "careers" allowed Xia Yu to find another opportunity to polish his mind during this bottleneck period.
After returning to the manor, we had lunch and then played chess with Zhuang He and his wife. The old man and Xia Yu were both "bad chess players". They both said they never regretted their moves. They often regretted their moves when playing chess. Give it to Teacher Yong Xia
Very angry.
I often play tricks, so I give up my game and say, "You two are very good, you can fight each other, don't bully me, an old lady!"
Imagine that someone as gentle as Teacher Yongxia could say harsh words - is this considered harsh?
Xia Yu would answer this way, "The momentum counts, and it also depends on who you compare with. Comparing with the old lady herself, that would be too cruel."
Still smiling.
Teacher Yong Xia gave up her choice of pieces, and Xia Yu was no longer willing to play chess with Mr. Zhuang. "How can we play chess with two bad chess pieces together?"
Mr. Zhuang also had the same idea, "Let's stay where it's cool!"
If someone who is not "sighted" happens to meet the old man and still has more to say...
Needless to say, you have to be caught for at least the next hour before the old man can let you go.
This is one of the old man's rare hobbies.
The chess game could no longer be played, so Xia Yu drank tea with the old man and watched the rain.
It has been quite cool in the Imperial Capital these days. It has been raining continuously for a week. It seems to come at the same time every day. It starts to rain in the afternoon and continues until the evening.
At early seven o'clock in the evening, dinner had just arrived at the manor, but before the dishes were served, Yao Yuanqian called.
