Chunfengdeyi Building, private room on the second floor.
Cups and cups are intertwined, men and women are laughing, the atmosphere is lively, and the spring breeze is blowing.
"Third brother, I'd like to hire a Taiwanese girl to shoot a few more scenes."
A tall man with straight hair smiled and said in a low voice to the feminine man opposite him, "As you know, I finally found a handsome guy for the film this time, and I specifically asked your Wang Zulan to play the heroine.
After editing the film, I felt it lacked some gimmicks, so I designed a new set of 'eyeball scenes', which will definitely make the Taiwanese girl shine..."
"Eyeball trick?"
Chen Ziqiang adjusted his brown glasses, glanced at Deng Guangrong meaningfully, and said, "Lao Liu, Xianxian is my new 'daughter'. If you have other thoughts..."
"Third brother, I follow the rules when doing things. When did I have any random ideas about your 'daughter'?"
Facing Fangzheng, the tall and imposing man hugged the woman next to him and kissed her, then chuckled without looking up, "Besides, I have never lacked women. What I lack is people who can help me make money! I just think Taiwanese girls are of good quality.
, I just support her..."
"This is the best." Chen Ziqiang nodded with a charming smile full of meaning, "Xianxian's flight 00544 the day after tomorrow."
"Third brother, let me toast you!"
The square-faced man smiled knowingly, hugged the woman next to him and greeted the two handsome men on the other side who were also flirting with the drinking girl, "Second brother, fifth brother, Du Laozhi, I'll be your host later!"
For a time, the room was full of spring, and there was endless laughter.
…
Pull tab room.
On the screen in front of the editing desk, the rough cut footage of "The Birth of a Prefix" was played slowly.
Qiu Litao, Liu Weiqiang, and Huang Yuetai were staring at the screen without blinking, while the two young people next to them were staring ahead with tired faces but concentration.
These two young people were professionals hired by Jiang Zhiqiang to take charge of post-production dubbing, art, color correction, subtitles, special effects and other work.
The artist is named Kuang Zhiliang, and the subtitle editor and special effects artist is named Chen Zhiwei.
Wu Xiaozu didn't care much when he first met the two of them, but when the editing work was tight, he had no choice but to transfer the two of them to the editing team as assistants. At least they are more reliable than Feicheng and Luo Dong, right?
Behind the five people, Wu Xiaozu and Liang Gaohui crossed their legs and puffed on cigarettes.
He was dragged by Wu Xiaozu to be in charge of poster design... He couldn't get the role anyway. Wu Xiaozu didn't say this, for fear of hurting Liang Xiao's self-esteem.
"How long has it been there?" Liang Gaohui asked, yawning.
"130 minutes."
Wu Xiaozu picked up Liang Gaohui's arm, rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, "There are still 15 minutes of material..."
"The Birth of a Prefix" has more than ten hours of various shot materials. After rough editing and preliminary editing in the past few days, the preliminary distribution and classification and plot sequence arrangement have been completed. Next, re-editing and comprehensive editing are required.
.
Generally speaking, TV series editing only has two parts: initial editing and re-editing. However, most movies require comprehensive editing. This is to ensure the release effect.
In fact, you don’t need to have many people working in editing. Too many people will be detrimental.
At this time, in the Hong Kong film industry, the editing team of Mai Zishan had the largest number of people, with only 6 people including apprentices. The smallest number was "low-key editor" Jiang Quande. With one apprentice and himself, he could edit three or four movies at the same time.
, worthy of the title of the Four Famous Scissors.
The most important label for Hong Kong filmmakers is efficiency! Editors from other places cannot match this!
The work of editing is very challenging for editors.
First of all, the editor must understand the story that the director wants to express, and at the same time, he must complete the shaping of the story without being obvious, and make the film more flavorful.
There are many excellent editors in Hong Kong, but the truly top editors are probably even fewer than the top directors. There are no less than a dozen famous directors in the world, but there are also only a handful of truly top editors.
Of course, even in Hollywood, the only one who can truly be called the top editing master at this time is Walter Murch. The "Godfather" trilogy and "Apocalypse Now" were all produced under his scissors.
Wu Xiaozu did not have a year of preparation for editing a film. He also did not want to use an anti-editing theory method to complete the editing like "The Godfather".
He just wants to use the most appropriate way to complete "The Birth of a Word", a film that contains his hard work.
This play is different from the routine of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night". Its narrative structure and various montage arrangements are brand-new innovations.
In this regard, Wu Xiaozu still chose to do it himself, and did not hire a "famous editor" to help with editing as Jiang Zhiqiang said. This film is different from ordinary commercial films. If it is slightly different, the taste will change.
…
"Brother Zu! This movie is so sharp! It has completely refreshed my understanding of movie structure and story!" Qiu Litao's face was rosy, and he looked at Wu Xiaozu with gleaming eyes.
Before "Song of Chance" and "Run Lola Run" became famous, Wu Xiaozu's "The Birth of a Prefix" is not an exaggeration to call it a film innovation! This is like when many movie fans watched "Pulp Fiction" and "Pulp Fiction" for the first time.
"Two Smoking Barrels" is equally stunning.
I found out after reading it.
Oh my god! Movies can actually be played like this!
In the 1980s, Wu Xiaozu's style of play was enough to subvert the perception of the film industry. The innovative techniques and black humorous stories far surpassed Tsui Hark's "Ghosts and Horses" a few years ago.
It can even be said that the two films are not on the same level.
Wu Xiaozu himself is very satisfied with his work. For people in the 1980s, this movie is shocking in terms of story concept, film structure and color, positioning, and camera.
In 1998, a simple story like "Run Lola Run" shocked the world of film circles and left many viewers stunned. You will know how amazing movies with this kind of narrative structure are.
"Two Smoking Barrels" can make Guy Ritchie climb into Madonna's bed, which shows how powerful this innovative black humor movie is.
[Biquge www.biqusa.vip] Later, Ning Xiaohao's "Crazy Stone" made him and the cast and crew even more brilliant.
"Master, the shot is so wonderful!"
Liu Weiqiang stared at Huang Yuetai with twinkling eyes, a look of surprise on his face. As a photographer, he knows best how this movie creates a sense of space. The position of each character greatly enriches the picture. This kind of gameplay is very popular in Hong Kong.
The island appears for the first time.
Huang Yuetai smiled with his shoulders slanted, and his posture was a bit like Mr. Zhang Wenshun. The greasy bumps on his face echoed the light breeze.
He was also constantly surprised when filming "The Birth of a Prefix". In order to achieve the imaging effect required by Wu Xiaozu, many shots had to be racked. This movie also benefited him a lot.
Now everyone is looking at Wu Xiaozu with excitement. Everyone likes "The Birth of a Prefix" too much.
The whole movie has a sense of ritual.
cool!
The space position is extremely tense and full of ritual; the colors are strong and contrasting, like flowers in the 18th century; the lines are darkly humorous; the dramatic structure is innovative. This drama is filled with an atmosphere called "cool".
"We need a soundtrack now!" Kwong Zhiliang said excitedly in a low voice. As a post-production staff, he is very sensitive to the rhythm of the film.
"I will handle it!"
Before Wu Xiaozu could speak, Qiu Litao flicked his greasy hair, his face glowing red and he patted his chest, "Brother Zu, don't worry. I will definitely find the coolest musician in Hong Kong to help you score the music! The first half of this movie is so crazy that you will die, and the second half will
Half of it is so cool that it’s exciting! It’s so suitable for rock music! I have many good friends in the rock circle..."
Looking at the happy long-haired version of Song Xiaobao, Wu Xiaozu believed in the abilities of the friends he had made.
This guy is clearly a rock musician who was delayed by the director!
In the rock circle of Hong Kong Island, Changmao Tao is very famous! People give him a nickname, which is a timely blessing in the music circle - Teddy!
That night, Qiu Litao invited a familiar rock band and several musicians.
Looking at Qiu Litao, who was grinning and taking credit, as if smiling at himself, for some reason, Wu Xiaozu's mind immediately flashed into an advertisement that was like a brainwashing advertisement from back then.
Chapter completed!
