"Don't look so strange, don't make it look like you're looking at a monster, I've cut it in front of you in the past four days. ”

After the film was cut, Li Qian looked at Qi Yukun and Guo Fan with stunned expressions and smiled.

"Four days, it only took four days to cut it, and under normal circumstances, ordinary movies would have to spend a month on editing, to say the least. Guo Fan sighed.

Li Qian shook his head, "90-minute cinema movies are generally cut for a month, but our film is only 60 minutes, one-third less in length, and there are mainly two scenes, the plot and timeline are simple, and they are mainly long shots, and four days is not outrageous." ”

Regardless of what Qi Yukun and Guo Fan thought in their hearts, Li Qian would continue to work after a break, and then start grading.

There is definitely no palette studio, and now there is no money in hand, a set of basic black apples costs twenty or thirty thousand, and a professional palette can easily go up to ten or two hundred thousand.

You have to ask for money to find a professional company to do it, so you can only do it yourself with a mouse.

Although the difference between using a mouse and using a color palette is very different, the color of "Sniper Phone Booth" is not high, and it is not on the big screen, so use a mouse and use a mouse.

Color grading is no less important for a film than editing, and it is the most critical part of the post-production, both of which are enough to determine the success or failure of a movie.

There are tens of millions of color combinations, and when the colors are mixed together, it is not only the form that the eye sees, but also the atmosphere of the movie and the inner world of the characters through these color combinations.

However, the development of movies to the present, countless film practitioners have summed up five basic color matching patterns, which are suitable for the vast majority of films.

Colorist is a very professional industry, and Li Qian is even a beginner rookie, but there are references in his mind, and he can't learn from them.

So, a day and a half later, when Li Qian finished grading, the same scene appeared again.

Qi Yukun and Guo Fan looked at each other, and what they saw from each other's eyes was still shocked.

In the film and television related industries, colorists can definitely be regarded as one of the most difficult professions, and first-class colorists are rarer than first-class photographers and first-class artists.

Just watched Li Qian spend a day and a half successfully completing a 60-minute Internet color grading, and the degree of surprise was even greater than that of finishing the editing in four days.

Is genius so awesome?

......

Li Qian didn't care about the two of them, so he copied the finished film and a few trailers, as well as the finished poster, a copy of the studio's business license, a film copyright certificate, a copy of the ID card and other relevant documents into a briefcase.

Next, it's time to go to the Beijing Galaxy Video Headquarters,Now there are more and more online networks every month,The three major video websites have decided to start next month,All adopt online application、Review,Express contract method,Do not accept door-to-door submission。

In that case, it's much more convenient, but it's hard to talk about the level of signing, basically the filmmaker fills in an expected level, A, B or C, and the website accepts it and sends it directly to the contract for signing, and sends a copy back when it's over, it's not easy to bargain.

Now that the new regulations have not been implemented, it is still necessary to bring materials and films to the door.

Without much delay, Li Qian left the studio and went directly to the train station and took the high-speed train to the capital.

accompanied by Guo Fan, who was going to Huayang Brothers to hand in the last manuscript, while Qi Yukun had to stay in Donghua and work at the Hengdian Film and Television Base.

He didn't go to college, he didn't have a serious job, and he didn't save any money as a program planner on Chang'an Local TV Station before, so he ran with Li Qian all day long, and he didn't have anything to eat.

Li Qian wanted to keep Qi Yukun as his assistant for a long time, but now he doesn't have much money in hand, so he can only wait for the movie to be settled.

Guo Fan is much better, he has the skill of painting, just receiving some private work is enough to support himself, otherwise Huayang Media would not have asked him to draw the comics of "The King of Kung Fu".

Donghua to the capital has not yet opened a high-speed railway, you have to take a train to Lin'an first, from Lin'an to the high-speed rail to the capital.

Slow is a little slower, and it is better than taking more than 20 small fires from Donghua to the capital.

Transferring trains, waiting for trains, running for 13 hours, in the early morning of the next day, the two appeared at the capital railway station in the dust.

"Lao Guo, how do you arrange, do you want to go your separate ways?"

"In the afternoon I made, let's go to Galaxy Video with you first. ”

Guo Fan participated in the preparation, shooting, and post-production of "Sniper Phone Booth" throughout the process, and now there is only the last link before the launch, he still wants to go and see together, and at the same time, he also wants to see what evaluation Galaxy Video can give the movie in the end, and whether he can get the A signature with the highest score.

Li Qian nodded, "Okay, let's go have breakfast first and take a rest." ”

......

After eating breakfast and resting for a while, Li Qian rushed to the Galaxy Video headquarters at half past nine.

I had already made an appointment in advance to watch a good movie, and after explaining my intention to the front desk, I was taken to a small conference room.

Li Qian took out all the documents and materials, placed them neatly on the table, and waited for the arrival of the people from the Galaxy Video Purchasing Department.

However, Guo Fan was even more nervous than Li Qian, "Director Li, do you think we can get an A visa?"

Li Qian shook his head, "It's hard to say, after all, the three major video websites are not suspenseful plots." ”

There are three grades of exclusive cooperation: A, B, and C, A signs the producer and divides 50%, that is, an effective click can be divided into 2 pieces of 5, B sign is 2 fast, and C signs 1 block of 5.

In addition, there is non-exclusive, that is, the three video websites can be launched, but the account sharing cycle is different from the exclusive, the price is also low, and the promotion of the website will be lower than that of the exclusive contract.

Li Qian inquired, almost all of the people who can get A signatures in the past month are zombie films, and the extreme number is also strange beast horror films, rubbing edge love films, and the others are without exception, and even the vast majority of them can't even get B signing points.

The market is like this, "The Road Goes Down the Mountain" won 8 million box office, and the online brand of zombie films became popular all of a sudden.

seems to have returned to Xiangjiang in the last century, after the fire of Uncle Nine's "Mr. Zombie", countless people followed suit, and finally killed this theme.

For films of the same quality, zombie films can often get a higher level of sharing.

Li Qian's goal is at least to sign B, as for whether he can get the highest score, it depends on the other party's vision and courage.

After all, between him and the platform, the platform is in an absolute advantage, unless there are already certain achievements.

But if there is already a popular Internet University, then there is no need to negotiate.

It is said that when the second part of "The Taoist Descends the Mountain" had not yet started filming, Galaxy Video took the initiative to sign a contract with the producer, which is the treatment of successful people, which is the case in any industry.
