In Paramount's editing room, it was playing that the first cut had just been completed. Jing Jian, along with Liu Parkin, Professor Wolfe and Cheng Qinglun, watched the 4-hour and 35-minute first cut of the film, and all nodded their heads in agreement, expressing satisfaction with the work of editor Jeffrey.

After a short break, Jing Jian drank coffee: "If you hurry up, can you finish the final editing today?" The production has reached the final stage, and Jing Jian is somewhat impatient.

"It should work. Jeffrey smiled and nodded, "But the second and final cuts, I hope you can trust my professionalism." ”

For every piece of film filmed, it is the hard work of the crew members, so when editing, they are often reluctant to do this, and they are reluctant to do that. At this time, the editor's "spicy hand" is needed to reduce the film to about 100 minutes. This is actually due to commercial considerations, too short considering that the audience is not addicted to watching it, too long will reduce the number of daily movie shows.

The second cut finally began, and seeing Jeffrey cut out the scenes mercilessly, Jing Jian always felt a burst of shock. However, it was quite interesting to feel the kind of gnashing of teeth of Lyupakin and Professor Wolf around me. Only Cheng Qinglun looked relaxed, because the sooner the editing is completed, the sooner he can start the soundtrack.

"Hey, this must not be cut...... , oh my God!"

"This shot is important, really important......"

"Oh my God, this is a special effect, it cost 200,000 yuan, how can I cut it? Please, can you reduce my shots?"

“......”

Arguments rang out in the editing room from time to time, and when the exhaustion was over, the length of the film was still nearly three hours.

Perhaps seeing many such scenes, Jeffrey smiled and comforted: "Gentlemen, it doesn't have to be like this. You can sell this feature film as a videotape and reduce the release to two hours. ”

"That's all there is to it. Jing Jian also smiled and nodded, "However, I will never come tomorrow." Otherwise, he couldn't help but strangle Mr. Jeffrey to death. ”

Several people laughed, and Jeffrey said, "Mr. Bramble, you really shouldn't come, or the editing may never be finished, and the rent in the editing room will bankrupt you." ”

In the midst of laughter, Jeffrey was sent away, while the rest of the people talked about the film.

"According to your professional vision, what is the future of this movie?" Jing Jian is of course most concerned about the film's popularity.

"I felt very nervous and exciting. The first person to answer turned out to be Cheng Qinglun, smiling and shrugging, "It's the perception of an ordinary audience." "The tribulations of life make people grow, and Mr. Cheng has also learned to say compliments.

Professor Wolff's view is more professional: "The combination of special effects and cinematography, some of which is groundbreaking, inspires me a lot. From this point of view, the film has been considered a success. ”

But Lyupakin expressed his concern: "The key now is the release." In fact, when it was finished, I didn't worry about the editing effect, especially after watching the special effects of Industrial Light & Magic. And to sell well, the key is to find a good publisher. ”

"Do you have any recommendations?" Jing Jian asked.

"It's best to find it from the Bada League. Lyupaki's words made Professor Wolf nod in agreement, "Only they have the strength to push all over North America, even their asking price is very high." ”

"Uh-huh. Jing Jian thought for a while, "When the post-production is completed, find a way to find a home." ”

......

By the time I left, it was already nightfall. As soon as I got home, someone called and said, "Jetton, are you in Hujiang?"

"Yes, sir. Let me tell you something, there is a malignant infectious disease in Hujiang suddenly, and the people in the office are now panicking. ”

"Oh?" Jing Jian smiled, this situation had actually been expected by him for a long time. made a gesture to thank Qin Zi, who was arranging for the cook to make pasta. Jing Jian instructed, "Let the local employees stay for the time being, and all the others will be withdrawn to the United States." It doesn't matter where business is lost, the health of employees is the most important. ”

"Thank you. Jetton seemed relieved, "There's another thing, Brooklyn is unfortunately infected, and he's in the hospital right now." ”

"......" was unexpected. Due to the good diet and accommodation conditions, Jing Jianben thought that the chances of the employees of the well getting sick were quite small. I didn't expect Jiang Zhijiao to have such good "luck"? I can only say that my plan is even more ...... Seamless.

"Is Brooklyn alright?" Jing Jian asked.

"It's not life-threatening, it's just that you need to recuperate. Jetton said.

"Then find a way to contact Hujiang City and let them treat them wholeheartedly. Also, let Brooklyn recuperate with peace of mind, and the cost will be borne by the company. You should all evacuate as soon as possible. ”

"Understood, sir. ”

“......”

Hanging up the phone and hugging Qin Zi, who was already pot-bellied, Jing Jian suddenly asked, "Am I a bad person?"

Qin Zi thought for a moment and nodded unexpectedly: "It should be." ”

"Huh, you can't fool me, I'm actually very good at fooling!"

"I'm so easy to be deceived by bad men. Qin Zi smiled.

"Actually, liars can be very unlucky sometimes!" Jing Jian laughed heartily......

......

In the spacious single room, Jiang Zhijiao is already like an ant on a hot pot. For him, an expatriate, Hujiang has done the best treatment, VIP wards, expert consultations, and full-time nurses...... , that is, never let him leave the hospital.

tried every possible way, and even secretly stuffed a few foreign exchange coupons, and finally opened the door of convenience, and put Jiang Zhijiao to the doctor's office with a phone. Hurriedly dialed the phone number on the business card: "Hey, I'm looking for Mr. Lin, I'm ......"

"Is it Jiang Sheng? I'm Ah Cheng, remember me?"

Unexpectedly, an acquaintance appeared on the phone, Jiang Zhijiao smiled, "Remember, Ah Cheng, I want to ask, when will you complete the transaction?"

"This matter ......" Listening to Ah Cheng's tone on the phone, Jiang Zhijiao's heart sank, "Jiang Sheng, you don't know yet, right?" Lin Sheng has decided to give up this deal, and he doesn't want a deposit. ”

Stunned, Jiang Zhijiao immediately became angry: "Why?"

"Isn't it that there is a large-scale infectious disease in Hujiang, and I heard that it is epidemic hepatitis A. The interior is really too dirty and bad, the news has said that hundreds of thousands of people are sick, and I don't know how many people have died? Where will there be any guests who dare to come? What kind of business will there be in the future? I'm really sorry, it's not that Lin Sheng is not sincere, but natural and man-made disasters......

Jiang Zhijiao had lost his soul and didn't listen to the words at all. If something like this happens, and even if you get sick, it makes sense for others to give up the deal. However, now is not the time to consider whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, what should you do with the stocks you hold in your hands?
