Chapter 22 Finished
After the filming of a movie is completed, it can only be considered halfway.
Post-production is the other half of the movie, and the most important one is editing. It can be said that the success or failure of a movie is that the editing accounts for half. A good editing artist can make a movie look pleasing to the eye.
It just so happens that the editing is Wang Meng’s shortcomings, which is what Wang Meng wants to learn most now.
If you want to become a director, it is not possible without certain editing techniques.
Just look at Hollywood standards and you will know that those who can be called great directors, James Cameron, George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Bay, Nolan, etc., all of these great directors control the editing power.
In China, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, a few people control the dominance of the entire movie.
As for the miserable directors, sometimes they even get released after filming and go to the cinema to find out that their movie was edited like this.
Wang Mengxiang is the director who controls the overall situation, and editing is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Even if he has theoretical knowledge, he has shortcomings in practice.
Fortunately, there are many talents in film in schools like Shanghai Theatre.
Director Lu introduced Wang Meng to a female splicing master named Hao Wen. He is in his thirties and is said to have studied under the number one female splicing master in China Zhou Xinxia.
When he came to the editing room of Shanghai Theater, Hao Wen was already working.
"Thank you for your hard work in Teacher Hao."
Hao Wen saw Wang Meng coming and said with a smile: "Director Wang was joking. What's hard work or not? Everyone is for work. I just looked at the shots. Director Wang's shots were very good. Compared with your age, it's really hard to believe!"
"Haha, I've been too rewarded, and it's all for everyone's support." Wang Meng exchanged a few greetings and asked, "Do you know the script and the general meaning? You see, I'll just steal it by the way."
"Okay, Director Wang, don't you. Just call me Sister Hao. As for the general process, I have sorted out the general process. In addition, you have provided sufficient materials, so there is not much trouble." Hao Wen introduced.
"Okay, just call me Sister Hao. I know that a good director may not be a good editing master. Just follow your ideas. I said I was here to steal the master."
"Haha, you're welcome. The video has no special stunts or fancy gameplay. Everything can be completed in five days at most."
"Okay, do what you said."
Wang Meng knew that his editing skills were not up to standard, and the director loved every shot like his own child, and he refused to give up any of them.
At this time, there must be a copywriter to do it.
Fortunately, this movie has very few shots, and it was basically shot according to the idea of the previous life. Wang Meng was the first director, but he didn't have many ideas of his own. Apart from the necessary changes, it would be a bit unpleasant to be worthy of his old capital.
Therefore, not all directors are like Wang Jiawei. If they don’t have the ability, it’s better to learn first.
"Sister Hao, this cannot be cut. How good did you take this shot?"
"Director Wang, we have been in a lot of more than 90 minutes. You can't even bear to be a camera, you have to cut it..."
“This can be there.”
"This is useless, it's very disharmonious to put it here!"
The two of them quarreled and compromised, and time passed quickly while they were busy.
In the following days, Wang Meng almost spent the editing room, and his parents also reminded him to pay attention to his health. Wang Meng accepted it with a smile. However, he knew his own body, and with the first movie, he wished he could be released immediately, so how could he bear it?
It took only five days to complete it, and it must be said that the speed is very fast.
Next is dubbing. The dubbing work is also a help from the college. Wang Meng is like a child who grew up eating Baijia milk. Where can I go if I need it?
Thanks to Director Lu’s support and the strong support of the school.
After all, the vice principal also appeared at the opening ceremony, and his family loved his children. Not to mention anything else, this video is almost one-stop for people who are on the show, which makes people think of the monopoly model of Hollywood caa.
It took nearly ten days to go back and forth, and Wang Meng and Wang Peng went to almost all departments of the school.
When Wang Meng saw the complete video, the corners of her eyes were wet, and the first goal was finally completed.
After sorting out his excited mood, Wang Meng's careful taste of the movie is not exactly the same as in the previous life, but there are changes.
At least, the origins of Buddhism and Christianity that were criticized in the previous life were gone, and at most they could only discuss the truth with Lao Tzu...
The protagonist of the previous movie recalled that Columbus invited him to the world together, and this place became Zheng He's invitation, and some changes were also for the needs of Chinese audiences.
After the production was completed, Wang Meng felt relieved.
Warner Music Company, which was suppressed by Director Lu for almost a month, finally met Wang Meng. After seeing Wang Meng, the people from Warner Company enthusiastically invited Wang Meng to their company.
After all, the conditions are too good. You need to be handsome, talented and talented. The most important thing is the director of the Shanghai Theater. If there are topics, it will be easier to become popular.
However, Wang Mengzhi did not continue to sing "You, the Deskmate", but instead sold the copyright to Warner for 80,000 yuan. Of course, the title of the song creator is his, and there is also a chance to use it forever.
The reason I sold it to Warner is not because Warner gives a lot of money, and some small companies still give it 120,000 yuan.
However, Wang Meng discovered that the old wolf in this world happened to be on Warner Records. And he was about to hairstyle a record. Wang Meng was still nostalgic and hoped that the thing would return to the original owner and just use the title of lyrics and songwriter.
...
It was a rare two days of relaxation. Wang Meng's plan was to hold a small premiere the day after tomorrow, and the contact was left to Wang Peng. So, when he received a call from Chen Chichi and invited him to the party, he did not refuse to agree.
When Wang Meng came to the hotel she had made an appointment, she saw that there were all stars, Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, Jiang Shuying, Wang Chuanjun, Li Jinming, Zhao Ji, Hailu.
"Why is this a party of big stars?"
After Wang Meng came in, except for Jiang Shuying who was angry and the sea road that rolled his eyes at him, he stood up. This is a small expression of status.
"Yes, the big director is here, and we little actors are warmly welcomed." Hailu said unhappily.
Wang Meng smiled awkwardly, Hailu called her countless times, and Wang Meng said she had no time to refuse, so she was not angry.
Wang Meng was speechless, and everyone was enlightened. Only Jiang Shuying felt a little sad, and she felt a little bad. She couldn't even explain why she felt this way.
Chen Chichi understood the reason very well, so after taking over Wang Meng's embarrassment, introduced everyone to Wang Meng, and asked again: "How about Brother Meng, is it done?"
"It's finished, and a small premiere will be held the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone here will help me correct it." Wang Meng invited everyone to watch the movie, which is also a thriller.
"Don't worry, Brother Meng, absolutely support me, let's learn more." Wang Chuanjundao.
"I'm going to see it, Shuying said that I've suffered a lot, and I'm going to see it." Jiang Shuying's friend Zhao Ji.
The lively response gave Wang Meng enough face.
But Chen Chichi said something a little annoyed.
"Shu Ying is still a starring actor, but Zheng Kai and I are different. I just showed my face a few times. It is impossible for the audience to remember it. We are newcomers like us, but we don't know how long it takes to make a personal appearance."
"Come on, you are good at it, you are good at it. At least you have a lot of experiences with small supporting roles, and you have participated in a movie. We are the hard-working ones, and I don't know when we will make it."
Wang Chuanjun was very disdainful of Chen He's behavior when he got the advantage and fought back.
"Continue to struggle, classmates, we are far from being surrounded by one," Li Jinming jokingly said.
Zheng Kai continued, saying, "How to fight? It doesn't matter, I don't have a reputation, and my acting skills are not good, so I'm going to give up."
Although Zheng Kai is taciturn, he can still chat with him when he is acquaintance.
Listening to the discussions of several people, Wang Meng almost instantly grabbed a trace of keywords and murmured to himself: "Struggle, good, you have to struggle!"
The sound was not loud, but everyone heard it and everyone was stunned...
"Why do you have any ideas?" Hailu kept staring at Wang Meng. After hearing Wang Meng's words, he immediately asked.
Wang Meng said: "Imature thoughts. Besides, my movie has not been released yet, so I didn't think so much about it. Let's drink..."
Everyone let go that night and drank a lot.
Wang Meng vaguely remembered that Jiang Shuying and Hailu had a lot of drinks...
