Chapter 236: Don't be too mysterious
Sorry for being late for a morning meeting
....................................................................................................................................
The post-production of "Killing" has been done for a while, and the special effects, dubbing, etc. have been completed, and the work of soundtrack and editing is left.
This time "Killing", Guan Hu has been thinking about it for many years, and even wanted to shoot this before filming "Bullfighting", so he didn't find someone else to edit it like "Bullfighting", but did it all by himself, and his ambition can also be seen.
When Zhang Bufan pushed the door in, he saw such a scene, Guan Hu was staring at the computer monitor and was busy, and there were several assistants on the side, he was doing it himself, and he commanded several other assistants loudly, and then scratched the big bald head from time to time.
I don't know if it's born or because I haven't washed it for too long, the bald head is illuminated by the light, and it's really shiny.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhang Bufan, raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Bufan, and scolded directly: "Grandson." ”
"Hey. Zhang Bufan smiled in surprise: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, have we?
"It's good that I didn't beat you, but I blame you for what you said before you left, which made me so entangled now. Guan Hu said angrily.
Before Zhang Bufan left the crew of "Killing" and went to the crew of "The Great Gold Robbery", he did talk to Guan Hu, he personally went out to buy all kinds of delicious food and drink, and ran to find Guan Hu, and it happened that Huang Bo was also there, so the three of them chatted while eating.
Of course, the conversation is about the movie that is being made.
In fact, the talk is about one point - the content filmed by Guan Hu is a bit chaotic compared to Zhang Bufan's script, and Zhang Bufan hopes that Guan Hu will not cut it more messy when he is doing post-editing.
Guan Hu's favorite thing to do is to cut a story through various interludes, flashbacks, memories and other forms, which has been reflected in "Bullfighting".
Of course, there are actually some benefits to this, which is helpful for the burial of suspense in the movie, as well as the outbreak of climax and so on.
is like "Bullfighting", if you follow the narrative line of the story, the Eighth Route entrusts the cattle - the son himself comes - the slaughtered village - the refugees come - the bandits come - the Eighth Route Army comes, so push it all the way down, even if it is a good story, but there is no such conflict and the ups and downs of the plot, the audience will definitely not be happy to watch it.
However, just like what Zhang Bufan and Ning Hao said at the beginning, whether a director should add more personal ideological things to the movie, in fact, to edit a movie like this, it also needs to have a degree, if it is within this degree, it will be a plus for the movie, but once it exceeds this degree, it will be a big minus, because the audience can't understand it at all.
During the filming of "Killing", Zhang Bufan saw that Guan Hu seemed to have a tendency to become more intense, but after all, he was the director, so Zhang Bufan didn't say anything, but only reminded him when he left the group immediately.
Don't be too mysterious!
Now it seems that Guan Hu obviously listened.
However, Guan Hu's editing is the kind of thinking that jumps and flies everywhere, and Zhang Bufan's words are like putting a shackle on him, restricting his thinking, which has created his current state of being so entangled and painful.
Zhang Bufan ignored him, walked over and took off a chair to sit beside him, and asked, "How many have you cut?"
Guan Hu didn't talk nonsense, and called up a video file to open.
The video is not long, just over 20 minutes, and apparently only part of it.
Zhang Bufan sat quietly and finished reading, and then smiled at Guan Hu: "Isn't this very good, what are you struggling with." ”
"What nonsense. Guan Hu was still a little irritable, and said: "Just such a paragraph, before I put it, I can cut it out in a week at most, but do you know how long it took me to cut this? Half a month! While ensuring the jump and coherence of the plot, I also have to always think about what you said, so that the audience can understand it." ”
"This is nonsense, you make a movie, but it turns out that it doesn't work so mysteriously that the audience can't understand it? Then why are you filming him? How many viewers do you think will watch such a movie twice, three times, four, five, six or seven times, and ponder the plot inside?" Zhang Bufan squinted at him, "Don't forget what you said at the beginning, you want to lean on the commercial side, and even if you don't talk about business or business, in terms of story, this movie is not like "Bullfighting" It's so shallow, it's already layer by layer, even if you look down it, there is a certain degree of difficulty in understanding, and then you intersperse the editing, I don't worry about whether the audience will see it or not, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to understand it when the time comes. ”
", I just know that you must have nothing good to say when you come. Guan Hu waved his hand and said.
Zhang Bufan smiled, it was you who made me come, and you were the one who let me get out.
He also stood up directly, and said with a smile: "Then I'm leaving, the revolution hasn't succeeded yet, brother, you can continue to work hard, hey, by the way, remember the place I specifically mentioned, just the doctor dissected the cow sturdy, don't look like a horror movie, it's really not interesting, it will only make people scratch their heads." ”
After speaking, he really opened the door and flashed people.
Guan Hu didn't say anything, and continued to sit down to edit, but he couldn't help sighing, to be honest, he listened to what Zhang Bufan said, and convinced him, otherwise, with his temper, let alone Zhang Bufan, even if Huang Bo, Gao Hu, and Liang Jing all came to persuade him, they couldn't persuade him!
I couldn't help but scratch my bald head again, and continued to start tangling.
..................
Coming out of the editing room, Zhang Bufan went to say hello to Liang Jing again, and then left Seven Impressions.
When I went out and returned to the car, I was suddenly a little dazed.
He came today, in fact, he was ready to fight until late at night, with Guan Hu's character, it was likely to catch him to help with the editing, but he didn't expect this product to be so obsessed with this movie, and the editing part would listen to his suggestions at most, but it would never let anyone interfere.
So suddenly, he had nothing to do.
I took out my phone to look at the time, calculated it roughly, and then dialed a call.
Sure enough, the phone was connected, and there was a somewhat old but neutral voice over there, "Hey, Xiao Zhang?"
"Yes, it's me, hello Mr. Ma. Zhang Bufan politely shouted, Zhang Bufan knew the only one whose surname was Ma and was so old, it was Ma Jingwu who he met during the filming of "Killing".
Ma Jingwu smiled and said: "What is your name Teacher Ma, you are not my student, you call Tian Zhuangzhuang to call Uncle Tian, right? ”
"Okay Uncle Ma. Zhang Bufan climbed along the pole and changed his words directly.
Ma Jingwu asked, "By the way, Xiao Zhang, what are you looking for me?"
Zhang Bufan said: "That's the case, Uncle Ma, haven't I also filmed "People in Embarrassment" and the short film "Stone" as an actor, I always feel that my acting skills are a little poor, so I always want to improve, and then Xu Zheng reminded me that I can go to art academies to find those students and rehearse dramas with them, so I thought of asking you." ”
"That's it?" Ma Jingwu smiled, "This is indeed a way to practice acting skills, there are indeed a lot of students rehearsing dramas in our school, so let me help you ask, do you have any requirements?"
"Requirements?" Zhang Bufan thought for a while and said: "It's best not to be too long, in addition, it's best not to have any performances or the like, it's best to practice the nature, I'm afraid that my acting skills will delay others." ”
"Okay, got it, tomorrow, I'll give you news tomorrow. Ma Jingwu said.
"Okay, then thank you Uncle Ma, by the way, Uncle Ma, you have time to go to my small restaurant to eat, hey, goodbye Uncle Ma." Zhang Bufan hung up the phone, started the car with satisfaction, and drove home.
