Chapter 348: Happy Editing, Huge Debt(1/2)

PS: Please recommend votes, please votes for monthly votes!!

"Fear Fight" is out of the box and it will take more than a month to divide the spoils.

This movie was sold well in Hong Kong, and it instantly allowed many filmmakers on the island to see business opportunities. I think many independent film companies will follow the trend and shoot horror movies to try the waters.

This horror film is also favored by many small film manufacturers in other places. The fax of the film purchase contract appears on the company's desk like snowflakes.

Xiang Sheng, the producer who came to the front desk to attract bees and butterflies, frequently accepted media interviews, trying to create a new character.

One sentence.

In the entertainment industry, all the images of popular celebrities are the images after the spotlight and pen. Remember the lip shape: everyone!

A certain straightforward girl in later generations, a certain Reba's overeating foodie loses weight! An old cadre has a personality design... When entering this fame and fortune, everyone is either an actor or a singer, so either he speaks well or sings well.

Xiang Sheng really whitewasted himself with "Fear Room".

He also actively wanted to promote the release of this drama in the foreign market, but Jiang Zhiqiang interrupted his idea. After "The Two Heroes" was released in the foreign market, the gimmicks of the iron triangle of Liang Jiahui and Wu Xiaozu will undoubtedly maximize their interests.

"The True Heroes" last year broke the local box office record in Southeast Asia. "Two Heroes", which broke the box office record since the opening of Hong Kong Island, was naturally given great expectations.

There are Cai Songlin's scholar film companies and theaters in the Wanwan market, and Antai and other film manufacturers are also promoting the promotion. I think these two movies can bring greater profits to Wu Xiaozu.



Monday, October 12.

The editing room next to the 1024 Locomotive (Shatin) studio is full of laughter and joy.

The progress of the post-production editing of "Suspect" exceeded Wu Xiaozu's expectations.

This drama was quickly edited in the hands of two best editors of the later Academy Awards, Kwong Zhilang and Chen Zhiwei. At this speed, the drama may be released at an optional date in November.

Kwong Zhilang and Chen Zhiwei themselves participated in the preliminary preparation, production and story discussion of "Suspect". During the film editing process, they also constantly communicated with director Wu Xiaozu, understood the editing intention, discussed the expected imaging effects, preset colors and movie aspect ratios.

During the filming process, there will be a scene record and a board before each filming. The main reason is to facilitate editing.

Because the editor needs to sort out materials, sort and rename them according to the serial number of the scene record to ensure that they can be understood during editing.

Then, the audio and picture transcoded into the editing station need to be proofread. This work is not difficult, just be careful. However, the workload is very heavy in the film era. In fact, this is also a work that requires patience in the era of later editing software.

The rough cut mainly combines materials with high shooting completion in sequence according to the manuscript of the storyboard, script and director's note to show the prototype of the film.

"Yu Bai's picture here is too bright. The director's note for the scene record should have my comments on the camera at that time, and my intentions are all there. And the time length is a bit too long. It needs to be processed according to the number of frames."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and encouraged: "Have you seen Yamada Yoji's "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness". You know that he is 'using objects instead of people', but you still look forward to the appearance of the yellow handkerchief. People and love are displayed through objects. This wild flower is a metaphor for using objects instead of people. There is also "The Call of the Distant Mountains". His post-processing is simple, but very...uh...how do you say it, very sincere!"

Wu Xiaozu organized a language, "Abandoning those gorgeous editing methods, just simply narrate the story. The camera editing does not require sharpness, stability, tranquility, and naturalness. This drama does not require showing off skills."

Kuang Zhilang, Chen Zhiwei, Wang Jiawei, Qiu Litao, Ye Weixin, Luo Lixian, etc., all took notes in the children's shoes of the little chrysanthemum class.

The post-production editing work is the step of editing - discussion feedback - editing - discussion - editing - feedback.

The director should explain his understanding of the film, and at the same time, the editor will also build it based on the script and materials. There must be differences in reality and ideas, and the editing work needs to constantly help the director balance and improve the relationship between the two.

After rough cutting, the director will determine the direction, rhythm and tone of the film with the editor.

"Director Wu, will the end of this tragic drama make the audience dissatisfied?" Wang Jiawei asked, holding the notebook.

"The end of the movie must be more attractive to reunion, but the shocking ending can also satisfy the audience. Overall, the ending of the movie "Suspect" is not a tragedy, but it is a moving G-spot that allows the audience to resonate with."

Wu Xiaozu explained in a good mood, "In the process of script creation and filming, the first consideration is not reunion or comedy or tragedy. Your movie needs to resonate with the audience to a certain extent. Even if it is a shit and pee movie, as long as it can hit the laugh point in the audience's heart, it may be a success.

For example, in "The Fear Room", do you think it ends with a tragedy or a happy ending? First, the themes of the movie are different. Second, the atmosphere of the movie is different. You only need to find the common expectations between you and the audience.

For example, comedy, the most feared thing is the kind of forced tickling that makes the audience laugh. In fact, even if you are reunited, it will not attract the audience. A few days later, aren’t you going to Acheng’s “Fang Yiai” to be the deputy director? You can try it.”

Fei Cheng designated that movie as "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1: The Love of the Love of the Cuckold King's House". The deputy directors finalized Wang Jiawei and Ye Weixin.

In that movie, Li Hanxiang was an art consultant and Wang Jiawei was an associate director. Don’t say that, Wu Xiaozu was looking forward to the completion of the movie. Think about it, Wang Jiawei’s sexy personality, his movie was a little more explicit, and he definitely felt that Xiao Huangwen was déjà vu.

In the busy studio and editing room, the editing room has set the editing direction, and the editing group needs to be fixed. At the same time, the editor's time code, mixing, soundtracking, color tuning, special effects and other effects are also completed at this stage.

After communicating here, Wu Xiaozu smiled and went to see Pan Hengsheng take some promotional photos of Zhang Guozhen.

At this moment, Hong Kong Island has no concept of promotional videos, and there is no team that specializes in editing promotional videos.

Unlike later generations, many bad movies will ask top teams to edit a cool movie promotional video in order to make money. Only after entering the cinema do you realize that the essence is in the promotional video.

In order to cater to the publicity strategy and attract the audience's attention, the title of "Suspect" was also officially designated as "Only One Suspect" by Wu Xiaozu.

"Spot it?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at his brother who was posing for a photo, "Look at your mental outlook, it seems that your mental outlook has improved a lot?"

"If I were to pose for less, I would recover better..." Zhang Guozhen held the script helplessly and smiled and fought back.

In order to better grasp the publicity point.

Zhang Guoyan needs to cooperate in taking some photos of his promotional period.

For example:

Read scripts all night long!

Crazy fitness to lose weight for filming!

Lost a bottle of drip when filming!

Zhang Guozhen thought this was a promotional photo taken by Wu Xiaozu, but he didn't know it was a "promotional photo".

There is no need to let Virgo Zhang Guozhen know about this kind of thing.

Given Zhang's popularity in Hong Kong now, when he was promoting the movie, he suddenly released such private "proofs" that would definitely make many movie fans feel distressed and cry, right?

Let movie fans make money back while crying, why not? Who makes money is not profitable!

What is dedication?

What is acting?

What is giving?

Acting accounts for 6 points and publicity accounts for 4 points.

If the publicity goes smoothly, Wu Xiaozu can at least allow Zhang Guozhen to taste the taste of a movie emperor.

News came from He Chaoqiong that Mr. Chen was interested in establishing an entertainment company. If this is true, it would be in Wu Xiaozu's interests to help Zhang Guoyan win a movie hero in advance.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu smiled and ignored Zhang Guozhen's complaints.

"Brother Zu——"

Just as Wu Xiaozu was smiling and looking at Zhang Guoyan's re-shooting camera, Ye Weixin was sweating profusely and ran towards Wu Xiaozu with his mobile phone.

Upon receiving the call, Wu Xiaozu's face changed drastically.

...

Global Building.

Smoke is shrouded and the atmosphere is depressing.

A trading manager of Xingwang Investment Bank looked at the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding the window frame tightly, looking at the man not far away in the trading square.

He quickly winked at the assistant.

Several people leaned closer to Wu Xiaozu, preparing to rush up to save people at any time.

This is the 20th floor.

I dare not take chances.

The other party is considered a living life no matter how hard it is.

The wind sanks the heat on my face, and the feeling of sultry and humid makes it difficult to breathe.

Wu Xiaozu stood silently by the window, looking at the trading square!

He received a call in the studio.

Before the Hong Kong stock market collapsed, the sharp rise of the K-line instantly made 15 million Hong Kong dollars disappear.

15 million is gone!

Go to the stock market dream!

"Oh……"

Wu Xiaozu smiled mockingly. He now wants to know how the reborn bigwigs who use money to bet on the stock market play the stock market? The 30-fold leverage, a few percent increase in the K-line caused him to explode.

"Mr. Wu, do you need to close the position urgently? If it's too late..."

The person in charge took the phone and paused. Seeing Wu Xiaozu turn his head lightly, he spread his hands, "The exchange is closed, you can delay it for another day. If there is no funds remitted in later, then you may be out... Of course, it is not ruled out that it will suddenly fall tomorrow... but the possibility is very small."

"Yeah?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled, his eyes closed, and turned his head to look at the colorful trading square, "Three days, 15 million?"

"You have thirty times the leverage, and now you have lost about 130 million yuan. If you need to continue, you need to invest at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars in margin to... "The person in charge looked carefully at Wu Xiaozu standing in front of the window and cursed in his heart.

If Wu Xiaozu hadn't stood in front of the window of his office, he would have long shouted "I don't have money to play with you!"

The stock market is originally: use your salary to create happiness, and you don’t have money to play with you!
