Chapter 574: The Master's Posture [Ten Thousand Rewards for "Saying Saki"]
If a movie wants to take shape, it requires a lot of people to work together.
Many directors have the final editing rights, but that doesn't mean they cut the film themselves.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
Editors are naturally more professional in editing than directors.
So Yue Guan didn't think about editing it himself, he stared at the point and didn't deviate from the finished product in his mind.
The specific editing work, of course, still has to be done by the editing master.
So he found Du Yuan.
Du Yuan and Wu Yishan have a relationship, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" was edited by Du Yuan and directed by Wu Ershan.
Yue Guan got Du Yuan's contact information from Wu Yishan, and then took the initiative to contact Du Yuan, so that today's meeting took place.
"You hold me so high, I'm embarrassed if I don't take your play. Du Yuandao.
Yue Guan's enthusiasm, she really couldn't stand it.
Yue Guan smiled and said: "I feel it, if you can go next, of course it is the best." ”
"Charlotte's Troubles" was edited by Du Yuan in his last life.
How the finished product is, those who have seen it naturally know.
Looking for her to cut "The Richest Man in Xihong City", there must be no problem.
Yue Guan is very relieved of Du Yuan's editing ability.
Du Yuan himself was a little uneasy.
In this life, the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" is still sealed in Yue Guan's hands, although Du Yuan has edited a lot of commercial films, but the pure comedy movie is "Blooming Heart".
And the comedy of "Blooming Heart" is actually not very pure, and the heroine is obviously a literary hexagram.
Du Yuan doesn't have much experience in editing comedy movies.
She's got to grope her way forward, too.
So Du Yuan took the initiative to ask, "What are your requirements for editing?"
Yue Guan thought for a while and said, "Teacher Du, I want pure comedy. ”
"Pure comedy?"
"That's right, just go to amuse the audience, don't think about leaving any metaphors and irony, that's secondary. The biggest purpose of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is only one, which is to make the audience laugh and make the audience laugh as hard as possible. Yue Guan said seriously.
Du Yuan was a little curious: "Don't you need to express some other meanings?"
The directors she served before had never seen anyone ask for this.
Because a movie that is purely designed to amuse the audience is difficult to reflect the director's awesomeness.
Even if it is Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy movie, if you watch it carefully, it is definitely not purely funny.
But Yue Guan is.
Yue Guan confirmed: "You don't need to express anything else, just do the purest comedy, and the core doesn't have to be a tragedy." ”
"Yue Guan, you are really different from other directors. Du Yuan sighed with emotion: "You must know that if I edit like this, even if this movie is successful, it will be difficult for you to be regarded as a big director in the industry." ”
Yue Guan chuckled: "That's not important, the success of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is the most important, and the most important thing is to make the audience laugh." Whether the director is awesome or not, it never matters. When I watch movies, I don't like other directors to instill private goods, and I make movies myself, and I don't deliberately instill my own subjective consciousness, which is called the unity of knowledge and action. ”
Du Yuan gave Yue Guan a thumbs up: "No wonder you have your current status, Yue Guan, although you are young, you live a very transparent life." ”
Yue Guan said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I'm still young, so I still have some original intentions." When I turn 10 years old, my mind will probably change a bit. ”
"I hope not, because a pure director like you is a blessing for us editors. Du Yuandao.
If the director wants to keep some of his own opinions and tell the audience some of his own perceptions through the movie, it will be very torturous for the editor.
Because the editor will be in a dilemma of choice, some scenes will be difficult for the editor to know that it will not be smooth with the whole show, but the editor also knows that the director wants to keep the scene, so the editor will be very difficult.
In China, it is generally the director who has the final editing right, so most of the time the movies we see are the movies that the director wants us to see.
And if the director doesn't have special requirements for a play and doesn't try to output his own point of view, it's much easier for the editor.
If it is beneficial to the quality of the whole play, you can edit it as much as possible.
There is no need to think about anything else.
This kind of work is much easier to do than other movies.
Before coming to see Yue Guan, Du Yuan had never thought of refusing Yue Guan. There is nothing wrong with her brain, it must be a good thing to take this opportunity to get online with Yue Guan, although she is not young, but she is not ready to quit the circle, of course, she wants to win a few more awards.
Therefore, Du Yuan was originally prepared to fight a protracted battle with Yue Guan.
In her cognition, a star like Yue Guan, who became famous at a young age, is still a director for the first time, and he must have a lot of ideas and ideas.
She had to find a balance between Yue Guan's ideas and the quality of the film, and she couldn't smash her own signboard.
But Yue Guan was far more enlightened and simple than she thought.
"Take me to see what you've filmed. Du Yuandao.
"Teacher Du, please. ”
Yue Guan led the way for Du Yuan.
Of course, he has to discuss with Du Yuan, editing is already part of post-production, he wants to stare at it, and he also has to give a big frame, so that Du Yuan can toss and move in this big frame and show his powers.
More than three hours later.
Du Yuan finished watching all the finished plots of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" filmed by Yue Guan.
The way she looked at Yue Guan was completely different from before.
"Yue Guan, you are definitely a genius. Du Yuan's eyes were full of appreciation: "Do you know? After watching "The Richest Man in Xihong City", I thought of a person. ”
"Who?"
"Ning Hao when filming "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Stone" is Ning Hao's famous work, and I also edited that scene. When I first saw the rough cut plot of "Crazy Stone", I confirmed that Ning Hao is definitely a genius director, and now I feel this way again. ”
"Teacher Du, you are too famous, I am much worse than Director Ning. "Yue Guan still has this bit of self-knowledge.
Not to mention Ning Hao, Director Bi's theoretical skills in directing are much stronger than him, even if he has practical skills, he is better than him.
It's just that Director Bi is really a bit bad in terms of aesthetics.
Du Yuan shook his head and said, "It's different, you are all geniuses in your own way." Ning Hao's genius lies in his very strong personal style, and his talent can be seen at a glance. You are different, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" looks like a very funny comedy movie, but you didn't highlight the director's presence throughout the whole process, and really shot a pure comedy, without trying to instill any point of view. ”
"That's what I was trying to do. ”
"I've been an editor for so many years, and I've never seen how many directors can restrain their desire to express themselves, and Yue Guan, you are definitely the best among them. Moisturizing things silently, you walk on the road of a master, and you will definitely become a master director in the future. Du Yuan said seriously.
Yue Guan smiled: "Mr. Du, let's stop blowing each other in business, it shouldn't be difficult to cut out "The Richest Man in Xihong City", right?"
"It's not difficult, it's very simple, you shoot very succinctly. I have to praise you again, the editor is the latest director like you. ”
"Then Mr. Du, you can introduce me to a few beautiful editors, I'm still single. ”
Du Yuan is already at the age of sitting on the ground and absorbing soil, and Yue Guan can't help but like this.
Du Yuan smiled and shook his head: "There are no beautiful editors, I know a lot of handsome editors, do I want to introduce them to you." ”
Yue Guan: "......"
