In the large bedroom, sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a bunch of men and women hugging each other wake up on the bed at the same time.
"oops!"
“It was so comfortable, I slept all day and all night, it was so refreshing!”
Tang An sat up, leaned against the wall, and squinted in the sun.
After returning from shooting in Hong Kong, I can finally have a good sleep!
Xu Manyun next to him also pushed himself up, lifted the quilt and sat up.
She complained, "After sleeping for so long, people become lazy. There are still a lot of things to do in the studio!"
Tang An yawned, shook his head, and said, "Why are you so anxious? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There is nothing to do during this period!"
"You're fine, but I have a lot of things to do. I've been cast in two movies based on your advice, and I often have to go to two crews..."
Xu Manyun was chattering while putting on her clothes.
"Don't worry yet!" Tang An grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms.
"Tell me what kind of movie it is!"
"One is CCTV's digital movie, and..."
"Oh, don't move!"
Xu Manyun slapped the big hand that was causing trouble on her waist and said angrily, "Let's get down to business, the other one is "Fragrant Journey" directed by Zhang Jiarui."
"Zhang Jiarui?"
When Tang An heard this somewhat unfamiliar name, the movements of his hands stagnated slightly, and then he remembered it.
As his hands continued to caress Xu Manyun's waist and hips, Tang An suddenly said, "Isn't he the director of the movie that won the Best Award at the College Student Film Festival? How did you find him!"
"If you want to invest, you must choose high-quality projects. CCTV's digital film is produced and sold by itself. It is sold to movie channels. If it is sold to other TV stations, it will not lose money."
"Then I found some directors of artistic films who had won awards at home and abroad. It happened that he was still short of investment, so I took a job!"
“Good idea!”
Tang An nodded, "The cost of digital movies is low, three to four hundred thousand is enough for one film, and the cost of literary and artistic films is not much higher, but you just go to that film festival to get a nomination, sell the copyrights to a few countries and come back."
Got it!"
The cost of several hundred thousand dollars would be less than 100,000 US dollars, so it would be easy to recoup it in Europe.
In fact, in terms of the amount of movie profits alone, artistic films and digital movies are the easiest to make money.
After lying on the bed for a while, Tang An got up.
He made breakfast by himself. After eating, Xu Manyun had to go to the studio, and Tang An went directly to Huairou.
The movie is finished shooting, now it’s time for post-production!
Yesterday, a whole truckload of film was sent for telecine transfer, which is expected to take a few days.
I inspected the early special effects again and found that they were basically completed.
Now we're just waiting to cut out the finished film and do the rest of the special effects.
The special effects of "Super Body" are not large, but there are many special effects shots, more than 1,000 of them.
Having more but not too much is relatively easier to do.
In the following time, Tang An devoted himself to the movie. If this movie is successful, it will be the biggest turning point in his career and the first hurdle on the road to becoming a great director!
Three days later, the magnetic transfer was completed and editing began on the computer.
Before editing, Tang An read the script from beginning to end several times, and now has a rough plan on paper.
After 18 days, the rough cut was completed, and the total length is 103 minutes.
It took another 7 days and repeated fine cuts several times, and the entire length was determined to be 84 minutes!
Check the picture and sound to make sure there are no problems with the material.
In the end, it took 5 days to complete the dubbing, soundtrack, subtitles and other processes of the movie.
The actors in this movie have no problem with their speaking skills, and this is not the reason for the dubbing.
Basically, all movies cannot avoid dubbing, even for movie-star-level actors.
There will inevitably be noise in the filming scene and exterior scenes, and it is troublesome to muffle it when mixed with the actors' voices. So we might as well remove it all and dub it behind the scenes.
Of course, a considerable number of TV series use dubbing throughout.
For example, Ji Guanlin, a well-known dubbing actress in China, has dubbed for many well-known TV series.
Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu from "The Best in the World".
The Little Dragon Girl in the 2006 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", hey... Leader Huang is actually the original voice!!!
The 2009 version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" also voices Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Chun, the heroine of "Big Fish and Begonia".
The Invincible of the East in the 13th version of "Swordsman".
Li Weiyang in "Splendid Weiyang".
Bai Qian from "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
Feng Qingchen in "Drunken Linglong".
Tong Wei in "The Negotiator"
There are also the heroines in the imported blockbuster "Avatar", the black widow in "Avengers 3", and the eldest cousin in "The Hunger Games".
In addition to those actresses born in the 90s, basically all the famous actresses in the industry have asked her to dub them!
After finishing the post-production dubbing and sound effects, we then went through magnetic transfer again and converted it to film.
On December 21st, Tang An came to China Film Studio with a reel of film to discuss distribution and film arrangement.
Before Bernard's distribution director and people from several major theater chains arrived, Tang An discussed a key issue with Han Sanping.
"Director Han, I heard that the release dates of "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Superman Returns" have been postponed?"
"That's right, "Superman Returns" has been postponed to July 11, and "Mission: Impossible 3" has been postponed to July 20!" Han Sanping nodded.
"This is what Warner and Panamon meant!"
"Why is this? "Superman Returns" will be released in the United States on June 28. It has been released simultaneously in South Korea and South Korea for several days. Why is it delayed by half a month in the mainland!"
"And "Mission: Impossible" will be released simultaneously around the world in early May. Only the mainland will be released at the end of July, and even Baodao and Xiangjiang will be released in early May!"
Originally, there was no rival in the 2006 summer season, and the film with the highest box office was probably "Dragon and Tiger Gate", which was not a concern at all.
Now that two Hollywood blockbusters have joined the mix, the competition is getting bigger.
At most, Tang An could remember the approximate release intervals of some domestic movies, as well as the specific release times of later popular Hollywood blockbusters.
In 2006, he had never seen any of these Hollywood movies in this era.
I originally thought that even if I wanted to rush for a summer release, I would just do the same as Mr. and Mrs. Smith and choose to release it in early July.
This time is good, one is in the middle of the month, the other is 10 days apart at the end of the month, and there is also a "Dragon and Tiger Gate" at the end of the month.
Just arranging movies is difficult. After all, Hollywood blockbusters have natural advantages, unless Tang An is willing to give up profits to theaters and distribution companies.
But that's simply impossible!
"Director Tang, please be patient. We will definitely maximize our interests when it comes to arranging the films and will not cause any conflict between you."
Han Sanping pondered for a moment and then said, "There are no movies released in August, so why not move it to the beginning of August? By that time, "Mission: Impossible 3" has been released for more than a week, and "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is not a worry!"
"no!"
Tang An shook his head, "The summer vacation is all about making money as a student. Ordinary students now don't have much money left, and they won't have much left after watching two Hollywood blockbusters!"
"So it's best to do it early. I'm thinking it will be released at the same time as "Superman Returns", and it will be released on the Thursday after the college holiday!"
"This year, colleges and universities have a holiday on July 4th, which means July 13th, two days later than "Superman"!" Han Sanping said immediately without looking at the calendar.
PS: Halfway through Chapter 5, my eyelids were twitching, and I was a bit dazzled by the large swaths of small characters crowded together on the screen, so I had to go to bed.
I just promised to update 5 chapters, but I didn’t finish it on the first day... It’s such a shame, I’ll try to make up half of the chapter tomorrow!
