Chapter 195 The mouth is suspicious
In the studio computer room, Li Qian saw the edited film of "Living Together in Time and Space" here.
Everything else is done, and it's time for the last process to grade the color, and those special effects have been done, after all, it's simple.
"The structure is loose, the emotional drama is not convincing, the purpose of the two people after time and space travel is not clear, and the logic and motives of the characters are unreasonable. ”
Li Qian opened his mouth and said a lot of shortcomings, which startled Su Lun and looked at him in disbelief.
"Boss..."
Not only Su Lun, but Guo Fan and Qi Yukun, who participated in the editing throughout the process, were also a little confused.
"No, I think these aspects are handled well. ”
Although Wen Muye did not participate in this film, after watching the edited film, he also felt that the shooting was very good, full of creativity, and the story was very moving.
Moreover, this parallel montage was ten times stronger than the one he used in his original student assignments.
Li Qian shook his head and commented one by one.
"The first half is supported by the laughter caused by the gimmick of the crossing, and the second half is supported by sensationalism, which is structurally mediocre. ”
Gu Xiaojiao is willing to marry any stranger in order to get back the house she lived in when she was a child, and the emotional drama between her and Lu Ming lacks enough convincing, lacks a convincing enough plot, or through quick flashbacks, to convince the audience with bits and pieces in the dense relationship. ”
After time and space travel, Gu Xiaojiao should have a strong desire to save his father, but because he couldn't call, there was no follow-up, and Lu Ming just searched for his name on the Internet, and gave up without finding anything, and he didn't care about the changes in the real estate market in the past ten years, and the motives of the characters were unreasonable. ”
As Li Qian said one of the shortcomings of the movie, several of them thought about the plot while thinking, only to find that they couldn't refute it at all.
The three of them were inevitably a little discouraged, and they were full of ambition to shoot a good film, which was full of loopholes as Li Qian said.
As the heroine of the movie, Tong Liya muttered quietly, "I think it's good." ”
"Still. ”
Seeing that they were a little hit, Li Qian stopped joking, and said with a smile, "I'm very satisfied with the finished film, Su Lun, you did a good job." ”
???
Su Lun and their faces were questioned, is this comfort?
Li Qian continued, "Actually, it's not much of a problem, striving for perfection and truth in a fake movie is unrealistic, just like the problem of the character's motivation after traveling through time and space, if Lu Ming is focused on his career, then should this line be extended all the way down."
This is a sci-fi romance, and other side details are not the main thing, unlike "Frequency of Life and Death", which is a family film.
Structurally, it's good, it's too complicated to figure it out, don't try something you can't control, and you'll end up with a mess and nothing. ”
For this movie, Li Qian did not interfere too much, and only put forward some opinions on the script and storyboards, rather than directly turning this into his own ideas, and did not emphasize even some flaws.
Directing is a very self-serving profession, controlling others to make movies, even if it would be better, it has become his own film.
Li Qian's purpose is not to make a little more money, but to let them get enough exercise, and the main thing is to improve.
This made Su Lun completely confused, whether this is good or bad.
"It's close to perfection for a debut film. ”
In the end, Li Qian's conclusion made Su Lun breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile and confidence resurfaced on his face.
Tong Liya, who reacted, lightly hammered Li Qian's arm and said angrily, "Can you talk well, go around." ”
As her first starring movie, Tong Liya is very concerned, I just heard Li Qian say that it is not good, but she was nervous to death.
"Don't be so nervous, this is already a good shot, if you really do everything, it may not be better. The cut is also good, the parallel montage is just right, the life of the hero and heroine is handled in a split-screen way, and it also has the function of juxtaposing time and space, so that the audience can maximize the amount of information received. ”
Li Qian began to comment on some of the places that were handled very well.
Su Lun hurriedly said, "This is the inspiration that the shots of the dialogue between the two fathers and sons in "The Frequency of Life and Death" appeared on the screen together. ”
There is no problem with the film, with this quality + novel theme + Li Qian's help to promote the name of a producer, it is inevitable that it will be a big hit.
In addition, color grading is also one of the core factors of a movie.
The overall tone is still warm in 1989 and cold in 2009, but the relationship between men and women is indeed less convincing. ”
Li Qian gave a suggestion, and then asked, "By the way, will the palette be used?"
"I'm not familiar with it, and I only used the computer to do some simple color grading. Su Lun was a little embarrassed, not everyone is proficient in all businesses, and directors who can be proficient in writing, directing, and editing are already very powerful.
"The computer is too slow, and the color grading of this film is also very important, so find a company to do it. ”
The studio has a color palette table, although this thing is expensive, but Li Qian is not short of that money.
The palette opens the bow left and right with both hands, and you can adjust the dark part, middle tone, and light part at the same time, and the really powerful master can even reach the level of blind tone, which is far worse with the mouse.
It's October 2nd, and the movie will be released on Thursday, November 11th, and it's too rushed a week early, and a week late, it's half a month away from "Perfect World", and I'm beating myself.
40 days is enough, the editing, soundtrack, and dubbing are all done, and you can submit it for review if you don't do color grading.
More than 20 days of color grading, more than 10 days is enough to put a copy.
Coming out of the computer room, Li Qian asked about Qi Yukun and Guo Fan's plans.
"Lao Qi, Lao Guo, do you have any ideas?"
Qi Yukun said, "I plan to precipitate, in the past year, I have completed all the courses of a directing student for four years, and I have not yet digested them, and while recharging, I am trying to write a script by myself." ”
Li Qian nodded, "It's okay, it's true that you put all that knowledge into your head, it's difficult to completely absorb it so quickly." ”
Although the students of the directing department of the film academy and the serious directing department are all using the same teaching materials and the same teachers, the study is more tiring and harder.
If you think about it, you know that you learn things for four years in a year, but if you really learn them, you have to be tired of becoming a dog.
If a one-year seminar can be the same as a four-year student in the directing department, then the threshold of this seminar will be flattened.
However, Guo Fan is different, "I also feel that I have learned a lot of things, but it is like rote memorization, and I can't play it, so I want to make a movie, absorb what I have learned while filming, make a science fiction film, and accumulate experience." ”
Guo Fan is still dreaming of sci-fi blockbusters, don't look at him opening his mouth and closing his mouth to make sci-fi blockbusters, which is particularly out of tune, but he can persist for more than ten years for what he wants to do, and he also has great perseverance.
"Sci-fi films, got an idea?" Li Qian was interested.
"Not yet..."
Guo Fan said with some embarrassment, "I originally planned to go to the science fiction world to find a suitable adaptation, but in the past few months, I have flipped out the previous magazines and read them all, but there are too few suitable adaptations." ”
As the most popular science fiction magazine in China, there are indeed a lot of good ideas and brains in the science fiction world.
But words are words after all, they can be imagined, as long as Chinese characters can describe them, they can be described.
But after all, movies are composed of scenes, and many wonderful places written in words cannot be shown with the lens.
For example, how to shoot the domineering spirit and domineering spirit?
That kind of momentum is too difficult for the actors to show themselves, and it can only be expressed through the rendering of the plot atmosphere and the foil of the supporting roles.
But it doesn't matter if you don't find a suitable adaptation, Guo Fan directly incarnated as a hand-out party.
"Boss, you have a lot of ideas, why don't you give me a creative idea?"
"You're really welcome, it's really a good idea to be a big white tea. ”
Li Qian shook his head, he was so busy now that he had to die, how could he have the time to do this.
"After the movie is released, I don't have time to do anything else. ”
......
It will be released in early December, and there are less than 70 days to go, so the time is quite rushed.
But fortunately, when the dailies are washed out every day, the editors are doing rough cuts on the dailies, picking them up while shooting, and the rough cuts and re-cuts have been done.
And the difficulty of editing is not great, just the two lines of escape and pursuit, the overall story is still very simple.
A typical double-line narrative, according to the theory of the eight major combination segments, is a large alternating narrative combination section of escape and pursuit, and contains many linear combination paragraphs and interlude combination paragraphs.
But there are many transitions and scenes, and it is not a flat and direct narrative, and it is not so convenient.
However, it is generally easier to edit, after all, Li Qian is standing on the shoulders of giants.
In mid-October, after half a month, the fine cut of "Perfect World" was also cut by two-thirds.
On the 17th, Li Qian stopped what he was doing and flew to his hometown, and this year's Golden Rooster Award was held in Hongzhou.
The Golden Rooster Award at the door of the house, although it is very busy, still has to take half a day to go there.
As one of the most important film festivals in the mainland, the scale of the Golden Rooster Award is much stronger than that of the College Student Film Festival, whether it is the number of crews, the number of reporters, or the scale of fans, it is too right to be stronger than the College Student Film Festival
When I came to the entrance of the red carpet, there were already many crews waiting.
Ma Xiaogang, who announced in the early years that he would never participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, also attended in full costume, with the cast of "Assembly Number".
A group of big men, all wearing black suits, are a gang of men.
It's really upright.,Saying that it's not selected.,But it's faster than anyone else.,It looks like I'm quite happy.。
