Chapter 16: Is This a Genius? (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Guo Fan was woken up by the alarm clock on time.

I was stunned in bed for a while, sighed, got up and washed, cleaned up and went out.

Although his first film with the participation of assistant director and art director was successfully completed, Guo Fan was not happy at all at this time.

Previously, he took over the business of the previous comics of Huayang Brothers Media's new film "The King of Kung Fu", just to be able to connect with Huayang Media.

After all, I am not from a professional background, and it is too difficult to direct a movie.

However, people don't want to deal with him at all, but he looks at the comics and is not bad, and he can recommend it to the director of several movies that Huayang Media is preparing and give him an artist position.

Guo Fan has been in two Zhang Yimou's crews, and the position of an artist is not what he wants at all.

In the past few days, he has also thought about his future, and if he can't do it, he will shoot a big net.

Today he still has to go to Li Qian's studio, Li Qian said before that he edited and graded the film "Sniper Phone Booth" by himself.

Although I think Li Qian is only 24 years old, he not only directs and acts by himself, but also edits and adjusts colors by himself, which is a bit outrageous.

However, through nearly half a month of shooting, Guo Fan still admires Li Qian's ability, and still wants to go and see, learn from the experience by the way, and learn from it.

Coincidentally, when I came to the door of the studio, I found that Qi Yukun had also come.

"Lao Guo. ”

"Old Qi, you?"

Qi Yukun smiled, "It's the same as you." ”

The two of them, one executive director and one assistant director, have worked together for half a month, and they both failed to apply for the Beijing Film Academy, so they feel a bit like heroes and cherish heroes, and they are relatively familiar.

"One?"

Guo Fan handed over a cigarette, and the two of them stood at the door and swallowed the clouds.

"Do you think Director Li can cut this film?"

"It's hard to say, but he's talked about the editing style of the whole movie in a few meetings, and I don't think he's a guy who can't do things he's sure about. ”

"I also think that maybe this is a genius, it is not strange to be able to write and direct, and then there will be an edit. ”

"What about color grading, this line is not easy, domestic first-class colorists are rarer than first-line actors. ”

"I don't know, but it's a genius, it's normal to know more. ”

"Editing, directing, editing, color grading, proficient in everything, Director Li is three years younger than me, why do you say that the gap between people is so big!"

"Perhaps, genius just can't be seen by common sense. ”

"Alas!"

"What are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to go to the Beijing Film Academy to enter the directing class, study part-time for a year, and if I can't pass the exam, I'll save some money to shoot the Internet University. ”

"Me too, but I plan to be admitted to the graduate school of the film school, and if I can't pass the exam, I will go to the Internet University, how about you give me the executive at that time?"

", why don't you come to me as an executioner. ”

......

Early in the morning, Li Qian saw two big men arguing at the door of the studio, looking at the cigarette butts on the ground, it was estimated that they had been here for a while.

"Lao Qi, Lao Guo, what are you doing. ”

"Director Li is here. ”

The two immediately stopped arguing in the future, and after filming the Internet, who should give who should be the first to implement this matter, and give Li Qian a position to open the door.

"Come in. ”

Boil water to make tea and go to the chair, Li Qian really didn't want to move.

"I've been busy for half a month, don't you take a break, I'm tired. ”

Guo Fan said, "Director Li, we want to see if there is anything we need help with in the later stage." ”

Qi Yukun nodded, indicating that he was the same.

Li Qian glanced at the two of them and said, "Then let's sort out the materials first." ”

The two of them were slightly stunned, is it so direct, this is arranged to work.

But the two of them have no objections, they are originally here to learn, and the first step in editing is to organize the material.

After two sips of tea, Li Qian immediately took them to work.

There is only one computer in the studio, so I let Guo Fan use it, and I watched it from the side, guiding it from time to time.

All the footage was imported into the computer, including the substandard footage, and the first step was to delete all the substandard footage.

When filming, Guo Fan, who is also the scene reporter, will record every shot and every shot, and mark it according to the director's instructions.

DIRECTLY PASS, KEEP, AND PASS, ALL ARE MARKED, AND YOU CAN SEE IT AT A GLANCE WHEN EDITING.

Of course, it was Li Qian himself who really cut the film, and occasionally they would ask some questions, and Li Qian would explain them one by one.

"Before editing, you must first determine the style of the film, the theme positioning, and have a complete and in-depth understanding of the film......

"But if you don't have professional knowledge, I still recommend that you read the book first, then watch the movie, and pull the film, many classic clips in the history of film are worth learning. ”

Qi Yukun nodded, "Sometimes I really feel impressed by a certain scene of a movie, I watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" some time ago, and the editing of dog bones and spaceships switched, and I was a little stunned at that time. ”

Li Qian explained, "That was the last shot of the war, an ape threw a bone upward, and the next shot was a spaceship in space. The matching cut is very clever, and the contrast clearly expresses the director's message: the tools or bones of the human origins have been replaced by spaceships, and this is probably the most famous shot switch in the history of cinema, and even now, it is still exquisite. ”

Speaking of returning to the movie, "In fact, the editing of "Sniper Phone Booth" is not difficult, after all, the plot is completely synchronized with time, which is much more convenient, mainly to pay attention to the rhythm, long-term long-shot close-ups are easy to make the audience aesthetically fatigued, and how to create a sense of oppression for the audience, so that the audience can more easily substitute into the role. ”

"Then there's the sound effect, which is also crucial for a suspense film. ”

Guo Fan said, "If a sound effect is suddenly added, will it lead to incoherence in the plot, after all, the audience's attention is on the protagonist from beginning to end, and it will not be suitable for the sudden interruption." ”

Li Qian shook his head, "So to add short shots of fast-paced music to connect, it can also avoid too many long shots destroying the rhythm and atmosphere, not only to add, but also to add more!"

These inserted short shots can be the ring that is taken off and put aside, the beads of sweat rolling off the forehead due to nervousness, the hand holding the microphone tightly, and many momentary shots of high-rise buildings, which more intuitively present the oppression of the characters in the low and narrow telephone booth, making the image very tense and depressing. ”

......

In this way, Li Qian, Qi Yukun, and Guo Fan nested in the studio and spent four days cutting out the film "Sniper Phone Booth".

With the memory of the original movie, Li Qian can refer to it in many places, if he doesn't sometimes have to explain it to the two of them, it is estimated that it will be cut in three days.

However, after cutting a movie in four days, even if it was a 60-minute Internet University, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

This is much more shocking than when they saw the script and storyboard script, after all, they have watched Li Qian cut out the movie with their own eyes in the past four days, otherwise they really can't believe it.

After cutting the last shot, the three of them watched it twice from beginning to end to confirm that it was done.

Qi Yukun and Guo Fan glanced at each other.

Both sides saw the unbelievable in each other's tired eyes.

Is this genius?
