But……

When the movie reached the second half...suddenly, the quality of the entire movie deteriorated sharply.

Inexplicable conspiracy, logically incoherent narrative, and inexplicable change of mind... What about the feelings of family and country, in troubled times, what should I do if my confidante turns into an enemy overnight? Of course, I choose to forgive her in the end...

Xu Xin’s expression changed from the beginning (-_-)ゞ

Little by little it became (????)??

Little by little it became (;′д｀)ゞ

Finally, when the video ended, it turned into o_O ||

no……

Just wait a moment...

He put his hand on the mouse, but didn't move it. Instead, he started racing through the plot in his mind.

I want to find out where the rhythm breaks down.

But after going through all the plots of the movie, I found... the collapse was surprisingly natural.

If the impression from the very beginning when Zhuo Yihang came to Beijing to deliver the elixir was very good... then from the moment when the other party ran to the frontier and met the Jade Rakshasa, the two of them secretly fell in love...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The rhythm of the film suddenly went off track.

At first there was a slight deviation, and then... one after another, with the "I want both" and "I want it all" style of the screenwriter, the whole story collapsed very suddenly.

All of a sudden, the roles of both people collapsed.

Right in the middle of the film, after Jade Rakshasa was framed as the murderer of Zhuo Yihang's grandfather...suddenly, everything collapsed.

The tiny collapse snowballed, and the 150-million-dollar high-rise building started from an inconspicuous crack... and completed a qualitative change that collapsed in an instant.

"..."

He doesn't believe in evil.

Watched it again.

But this time I watched it while jumping.

After spending about 20 minutes reading it, I fell into complete silence.

Then, he moved the mouse to the 37th minute and 30 seconds of the movie, that is, after Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nishang had sex, they had just settled down for life, but he continued to watch where the master came from.

This time, it took 10 minutes.

Then came the fifty minutes...it took five minutes.

After watching the entire film in a flash, he lit a cigarette and dialed Qi Lei's phone number.

Because of jet lag, his temples were actually a little swollen and painful at the moment.

But my mental state is fine.

The "beep beep" ringing sounded for a while and was answered:

"Hey, are you done reading?"

"Well, I watched it a few times and spent some time. How long are the remaining scenes of this film?"

"It takes about an hour, and there are more than 70 shots. There are 27 CG shots."

Hearing this, Xu Xin took a look at the duration of the film.

1 hour and 38 minutes.

"In other words, if the entire film is edited, it will take about 2 and a half hours?"

"Absolutely. It depends on Lao Zhu for details. I asked him to work overtime these days. First, focus on editing the entire story and see how complete it is... bang, hoo..."

The sound of a lighter sounded from Qi Lei's side, but the next second's breath smelled of melancholy.

"Do you think this film can be saved?"

he asked.

"To be honest, what I'm afraid of right now is that... there's nothing I want in the remaining shots."

"For example?"

"What I'm afraid of is not that he didn't edit it after filming, but that... he took the initiative to realize that this way of filming wouldn't work, and began to correct himself. He omitted a lot of footage that should have been filmed, and simply didn't film it. If

It’s really like this… Judging from the pace of the second half of this film, it’s basically going to collapse.”

This is what Xu Xin fears most.

Because...he has already seen some hints in the rhythm of this film.

Zhang Zhiliang seems to be speeding up the progress and omitting many things.

As a result, the preface does not match the follow-up. Many times, only one or two lines are given symbolically. Whether it is the so-called conspiracy or the emotional curve of the two people... they are all expressed in one or two lines, or through the acting skills of the actors.

, and ended hastily.

This is the biggest failure of this film!

If this kind of failure is due to the producer, for example, he edited a version of the film that was overdue, more than 2 hours or 3 hours, and the management did not agree, because it took up too much theater time, and was killed, then it would be okay.

But if he realizes it himself and starts to omit it on his own initiative... that would be really troublesome.

Yes, it's useless. And not having it at all are two completely different concepts.

After hearing what Xu Xin said, Qi Lei said:

"I have started the accountability process. However, Li Bin is on another crew and has not come out yet. He will probably come back the day after tomorrow."

Li Bin is the producer sent by Xiying Film Studio this time.

There are three producers in total, Li Bin, Huang Jianxin, and Yu Dong.

Among them, Huang Jianxin, who invited Xu Xin to dinner some time ago, was invited by Wanda, and Yu Dong is the producer of Happy Blue Ocean.

But these two people belong to quality control.

Not following the crew.

The one who really followed the crew was Li Bin.

It can be said that the producers' mistakes in controlling the work, Li Bin and Yuntu... let's not say the whole blame, at least two-thirds.

"I just wanted to see how this work was done, and a film like this was made for me!"

Qi Lei seemed to be really angry.

The tone of his speech was full of gritted teeth.

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Because this is really the producer's fault.

The director can do whatever he wants.

But the biggest job of the producer is to restrain the director from messing around.

As a producer, whether you are accompanying the team or supervising, you must strictly control the filming progress of the film. From controlling the cost to not exceeding it to controlling the director not to mess around, these are producers

work.

And the film has now reached this point... Although it is not clear what the extra hour of footage can change the film into... but the producer did make serious mistakes in his work.

Even Xu Xin and Qi Lei were too embarrassed to mention it.

Mention that hour of extra footage.

Because...if only some of this one-hour shot could have been used, the film wouldn't be like this.

After the director finished editing, could he not know that it was a bad film?

But I knew it was a bad film, but I didn’t re-edit it or try to make it right. Instead, I waited for so long to bring the film to the table...

That look almost said: This is the only way, there is no choice whether to live or die.

That hour of footage was really useful. He had already used it, so why wait until now?

To put it bluntly, the expectations of the two of them are just like treating a dead horse as a live doctor, it is just an unrealistic fantasy.

"What did the art consultant Xu Ke say?"

"What can you say? He and Zhang Zhiliang are good friends. What's more, he is just an art consultant. If they co-direct, they can take the blame. But no matter how good the art consultant is, he can't be found."

"...Do Wanda and Xingfu Lanhai know about this situation?"

"have no idea for now."

Hearing this, Xu Xin quickly sent a message to Wang Sicong:

"Don't tell Wanda's people after reading this."

After sending the message, he felt a little weird.
