It's May.

The post-production of "Farewell My Concubine" will not take much time.

Before filming, the whole movie basically had a roughly complete finished product in Lin Bao's mind.

When he was shooting, he basically didn't shoot too much material.

It's just that in the second half of the film, Yu Chenghao's appearance became more and more like a play, and when filming, there were a lot of on-the-spot performances, and there were highlights that exceeded Lin Bao's expectations.

Therefore, in the later editing, Lin Bao also reimagined the editing rhythm and aggravated the shots of "Cheng Dieyi" in the back.

"Tsk. ”

Looking at the picture of "Cheng Dieyi" being criticized on the computer, Assistant Director Feng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Now that the first cut has been completed, I have watched it from the beginning, and I am still amazed by the experience of the two actors, especially Cheng Dieyi.

He is a director of literary films, and what he can best capture is the emotional connotation in these historical films and literary films.

Lin Bao's idea for the whole movie, when he saw the script, he had an urge to make it himself. Even if Lin Bao became a director and was only an assistant director, he was constantly communicating his understanding with Lin Bao during filming.

And the first cut version that came out in the end was not a level higher than the effect he imagined he could shoot.

In this, it is enough to see that although he is an old director and has made so many literary films, compared with Lin Bao, he is worse and has only one talent!

People's first movie, from the script to the final film, is simply the pinnacle classic in literary films.

At least, so far, among the hundreds of literary films that have been filmed in China, he feels that he has not been able to compare with this "Farewell My Concubine".

Not to mention the box office, the artistic attainments alone are enough to make this rookie director in the film and television industry famous in history!

Of course, in addition to Lin Bao, the screenwriter and director, and Yu Chenghao, the leading actor, his acting skills were also completely unexpected.

Looking at the screen, this drama was covered with makeup, kneeling on the ground, the whole person lost his soul like "Cheng Dieyi", and his explosive acting skills made his scalp numb.

Do you dare to imagine that such a leading actor with explosive acting skills was still an actor Xiaobai five months ago. Although he has achieved the reputation of Little King in the music world, he is completely a blank slate in terms of actors.

Being able to grow to such a terrifying point in such a short period of time, in addition to the fact that he himself may "sing and act", has talent, and Lin Bao's guidance is inseparable.

No wonder he didn't know that he could write such a textbook-level performance book!

In the editing room, several main creators reviewed the first cut of the finished film, and basically everyone secretly wiped their tears during the period.

This movie, although it is not the kind of movie that purely earns tears, but the whole plot still makes everyone feel worried and uncomfortable.

"Director Lin, when will our film be released, have you decided?"

Yin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

This is the first film he has participated in, and with such a high quality, he is also excited and looking forward to seeing when he will be released.

When will his name appear on the big screen, or in the position of the main creator.

"If nothing else, Eleven should be released. ”

Lin Bao said.

"National Day file?"

Yin Chuan was slightly stunned, "It's not a summer file?"

Now that the first cut has been completed, basically at the end of June, the final film will be taken out. Once the review is over, the summer file will be released completely!

Why drag it to the National Day file?

"You kid, what's the hurry? Do you think the movie is a short video, and it will be submitted for review and publicity, and it will be released on National Day in a few months, and it will be released soon!"

Assistant Director Feng next to him couldn't help but say.

During this time, several people get along day and night, and they are also relatively familiar with each other.

Of course, Yin Chuan knew that there was such a process, after all, he himself had studied film and television directing.

However, this movie is different from other movies, where it is submitted for review, there is a drama association in the back. In terms of popularity, there are Lin Bao, Yu Chenghao, and Lu Yuan, but they are still short of publicity?

"I remember, this year's National Day file, there are several big commercial films at home and abroad, right?"

Yin Chuan said again.

The others were also slightly stunned.

Basically, the publicity popularity of super-level blockbusters in theaters is up for half a year. Therefore, now that there are a few blockbusters to be released on this year's National Day, they have basically been set to seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

Foreign blockbusters, I want to have a tacit understanding with each other, and this year's National Day file is expected to have a Hollywood blockbuster, and in terms of posture, it is going up to three billion. In other words, there are still a lot of films that look at the publicity, and the content and reputation may not be bad, but at the box office, it must not compete with the above one.

In China, because of the gradual rise in the reputation of domestic films over the years, domestic film companies have not flinched at such an important time node as the National Day file, and even two of them are released at the same time by big directors and star lineups, vowing to tear up the box office with that blockbuster. Other niche films, there are even more.

If "Farewell My Concubine" is to be released on the National Day, the situation it faces will be like this.

Yes, Lin Bao, Yu Chenghao and even Lu Yuan, the flow of fame can be said to be the largest, and this is indeed a good movie.

But first, after all, in the film industry itself, this is a film directed by a newcomer, and it is a literary film, which will inherently have a slightly weaker audience than commercial films.

Therefore, Yin Chuan said that when it was released in the summer, it was not that he was ignorant and did not understand the process. It's that he knows that in the summer file, this year, the few films that are expected to be released are not strong, and they are not at all comparable to the several films that are eyeing the National Day file.

So, the best thing to do is to drag it back.

It's not too late for Christmas and Spring Festival to be released again.

It is not uncommon for a movie, let alone a few months, to be released for a year or two.

"Director Lin, my own point of view, can be delayed a little further. Christmas, or the weekend after that, there is popularity and traffic, and I don't worry that the box office will not explode. ”

Deputy Director Feng hesitated slightly and said.

Several others nodded.

"Well, the specific time hasn't been decided yet, and after that, I'll discuss it with Aunt Rong and the Tang people. ”

Lin Bao said.

In fact, he doesn't care.

Regardless of commercial factors, he wants to release it directly in the summer file.

However, Zheng Rong, as well as the Tang people, felt that it was a bit hasty, and they had to pass the trial in the middle, and they had to publicize it, from the perspective of the studio and the Tang people, the earliest, the National Day file.

As for whether to consider the immortal fight in the National Day file, Lin Bao didn't care.

He has confidence in his film, and with him, the film will not lack popularity.

As long as it is in the National Day file, it is not deliberately suppressed and scheduled, and the final results will definitely not be bad.

He has self-confidence.

However, after all, this is a movie, and there is a studio, Tang Dynasty, and the investment of the Opera Association behind it. What I need to care about is to shoot it in the best condition, and then make sure that it can be released in the right posture.

As for the release time, the commercial elements to consider are still left to Zheng Rong and the Tang people to decide.

......

While Lin Bao and several other main creators continued to refine "Farewell My Concubine", in mid-May, the 3D version of the shipwreck was remade and released in China.

Originally, this movie has always had a very good reputation in China, and it was released ten years ago and got hundreds of millions of box office in China, and it is also the first film in the domestic market with a box office of hundreds of millions.

Now, its 3D remastered version is released, and it is the 100th anniversary of the real event of the shipwreck, although it was not released at a critical point in time, but this new shipwreck still received the most widespread attention.

Director, producer, plus starring Xiao Lizi, has also done many promotions in various cities in China during this time.

Previously, a director broke the news that the new film may use a new background soundtrack, that is, Lin Bao's song "My Heart is Eternal".

The discussion on the Internet has also been very lively recently.

On May 14, the shipwreck premiered.

Even Lin Bao, who was busy editing, was invited to the scene.

He himself is also very fond of such a movie. Even later, when he obtained the ability of a top director, when he revisited the film, he gave him a high score.

However, at the premiere, he did not take the stage, and he did not even reveal his identity too much. Just sat below, watching several of the main creators on the stage go through the process with the host.

"Director Cameron, more than a month ago, during the promotion, you said that when the movie was released in the East, you considered changing it to Mr. Lin Bao's "My Heart is Eternal". Now, the premiere is about to start, I don't know if you can ask in advance, and in the end, your decision is, to change it, or not?"

The moderator finally asked.

Cameron looked at her and smiled mysteriously: "Answer, let's go to the movie to find out! Thank you for coming to the premiere, thank you for your support!"

"Okay, let's wait and see!"

The host also smiled and began to arrange admission, "There are two entrances to the premiere hall, and the guest teachers on the scene can enter from the nearest entrance......"

......

Some news of the premiere of the shipwreck was soon uploaded on the Internet.

Many people have already booked tickets for the first day of the official release the day after tomorrow, but they also want to see the opinions and opinions of some media people and film critics who want to see the premiere, and there is a general expectation of expectations.

"I have a friend abroad who said that the shipwreck 3D, the effect is really shocking! The ship clicked and broke off, and the visual effect exploded!"

I heard that at the premiere scene, the host asked this question, and Cameron did not answer it positively. ”

"I feel that it is very likely that it has not been changed! First, it is taboo to change the theme song on the spot! Second, in such a short time, it is a bit hasty to re-cut and soundtrack. ”

"The premiere has already begun, and we are looking forward to the first wave of film reviews in three hours. ”

"Looking forward to it! Xiao Lizi is so handsome!

......

Time flies.

Soon, three hours passed.

At the premiere ceremony, there was still an event to take pictures at the end. Some film critics have begun to correct the typos of the blind film reviews in the theater and release them on various platforms as soon as possible.

The key words are basically "shocking", "classic", "a level higher than the original visual effects, but the rhythm of the whole story has not changed at all", "the rebirth of a blockbuster".

Words of praise in one voice.

Seeing this, those viewers who bought tickets were also relieved.

I felt it instantly, and I bought the first wave of tickets, straight!

After all, 3D tickets are a lot more expensive than 2D!

However, after reading the movie reviews, everyone has not seen any discussion about changing the soundtrack of the movie between the lines.

In a few film reviews that talk about soundtrack music, it is basically classic, touching, perfect, the scene on the bow of the boat, under the soundtrack, the wording that is almost like a flight.

"Looking at it like this, it should be the original soundtrack that is still used. ”

Some netizens left a message with some regret.

Although it is said that in everyone's hearts, there is a kind of "don't destroy the classics" mentality. However, if you can raise Lin Bao's violin song in such a huge production, on the bow of that giant ship, it is still very different experience and emotion.

"It's okay if you don't use it, at least without risking ruining the feeling and memories of the original. ”

"Just watch the editing bigwigs, wait until the feature film comes out on the Internet, and cut a "My Heart Eternal" version of the shipwreck. ”

"To be honest, the original music is not bad, but it just feels that Boss Bao'er's "My Heart is Eternal" is better! It is more suitable for this movie!

......

In addition to the discussion about film reviews, a photo of Lin Bao also at the premiere was posted.

Although he was very low-key, even wearing a hat and a mask, he was still recognized by some media at the scene.

Mainly, anyone who can come in this premiere is not too bad a status. The camera swept and swept to him, and he was instantly frozen.

"Is Lin Bao also at the scene? Why haven't you seen him speak on stage before?"

"Yes! Didn't you say before that Xiao Lizi went to him specifically to ask for advice! Moreover, Kashen said before that he also wanted to communicate with Lin Bao, since he was on the scene, why didn't he go up and talk a few words?"

"It seems that it really didn't use Boss Bao'er's song "My Heart is Eternal"!"

Some people were still unwilling, and began to ask repeatedly under the film reviews one by one: "The big guys who have the opportunity to watch the premiere, did the card god really not change the soundtrack? Lin Bao is all on the scene, is there really not?"

At the premiere, the media and film critics also received feedback on the Internet for the first time.

Except for some big stars who were surrounding the scene, the film critics were sitting there, also thinking about whether the soundtrack had changed in the movie they watched in the theater just now?

In fact, when I was watching it just now, everyone was also immersed in the plot and writing movie reviews, and they forgot about the soundtrack.

Out of the theater, the memory in my mind, subconsciously, is to feel that the music and the original film are compatible, there are not too many weird places, so I subconsciously think that the soundtrack has not changed.

But seeing so many inquiries from netizens on the Internet, they thought about it carefully, and it seems, as if, there is a little impression, is it changed?

However, what if they really changed the soundtrack, and they were in the theater just now, and they didn't feel it at all?

These film critics, for a while, were also a little confused.

To be honest, after watching so many movies and reviewing so many movies, it is the first time they have encountered such a strange thing.

And when the critics were hesitating about how to reply, some people had already begun to comment below:

"That must have changed!"
