Chapter 76: I'm an editor with a soul

Jiangbei Film and Television City has everything, and naturally there is a dedicated film post-production team.

Liu Zimu found an editor who had worked with him.

Wang Mingdi.

That's right, as his name suggests, he is Wang Ming's younger brother.

These two people, a photographer and an editor, both belong to relatively high-end professions.

Zhou Han is too lazy to watch the editing, this kind of thing just lets Liu Zimu stare at it.

He was in charge of chatting with Su Jing.

It's okay, it's all under control.

Wang Mingdi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said casually.

"Brother, no, here's a shot with a new Apple phone. ”

"That's Lu Xuelian's. ”

"Who do you care, the transmission footage must be cut. ”

Wang Mingdi put the fragment in the trash can and said, "The tea is cold." ”

Liu Zimu hurriedly picked up the kettle at his feet and poured hot water for Wang Mingdi.

Wang Mingdi yawned and said, "The footage of the video is okay, but there are some waste shots." ”

Liu Zimu muttered in his heart, TMD, isn't it just praising your brother in disguise, it's me who spends the money.

However, he is very humble in his mouth: "The first time to direct, inexperienced, inexperienced." ”

"Two and a half hours of material, cut out an hour and a half of rough film, Mr. Zhou didn't say anything?"

Wang Mingdi asked, "Cut it like this, nearly half of the shots will be wasted." ”

"It's okay, I'm the director, Zhou is always an investor, he trusts me a lot, and he leaves it to me to be the master. ”

Liu Zimu also thinks that Wang Mingdi and their editing are good, and some places that were not considered during filming have been made up here.

Of course he didn't know that Zhou Han was the kind of person who wanted movies to hit the streets.

The script was written casually by Zhou Han, and it turned out to be regarded as a treasure.

He doesn't dare to participate in the post-production of the movie anymore, in case the box office is a big hit, he can't cry?

"I know that under normal circumstances, investors will give some opinions. ”

"After all, whether it's you or me, it's someone else's food, and there are too few investors like Mr. Zhou who don't care about it. ”

Liu Zimu touched his belly, and there were still a few big pig's trotters blending in it.

"Who says it's not, it's exactly 10,000 that we have to make it well and strive to come up with a perfect master film. ”

"Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Mr. Zhou?"

Wang Mingdi deeply believes that Mr. Zhou's "Man in the Mirror" has no Taoists, no zombies, and no ghosts.

This kind of movie creates a sense of horror, and he has never encountered such a movie before.

He even felt that this was a new genre of cinema.

Giving them full authority for post-production of such a movie, this kind of trust made Wang Mingdi feel inexplicably moved.

What else can I do?

Liver, it's really not good, plus the kidneys together with the liver.

Wang Mingdi's spirit is very tense, and he has repeatedly studied every frame of the movie, and he must not live up to Mr. Zhou's trust.

This is a burden, but also a heavy task to create an era.

He eats and lives in the company, adding, deleting, pasting and changing, and strives for perfection.

Fortunately, there are not many elements in the movie, and there is basically no need to render special effects.

Otherwise, the five members of their entire editing team would not have been able to complete it in a month.

Wang Mingdi didn't want to leave flaws, although he had cut countless films, but it was the first time he was so cautious.

He vaguely felt that this was not very well made, and the director was a movie with raw melons and eggs.

But it has the potential to create a new wave of suspense horror movies.

He didn't want someone to mention "The Man in the Mirror" one day when he couldn't cut it.

would say that a classic movie that can last for a hundred years, but there are still some flaws in the editing.

He doesn't want flaws, he wants it's his most beautiful label.

"I think I have to do it again, you can see if you can call Mr. Zhou and ask, and give me three more days. ”

"No, brother, I'm going to submit it for review after I finish cutting, I can't afford to delay. Liu Zimu refused.

"I'm calling your brother, you can call and ask, and there won't be a piece of meat. Wang Mingdi asked.

"Don't worry, as long as you give me another five days, I won't charge overtime, and I can give you a nine-percent discount on the previous price. ”

The editing fee is fixed, and Wang Mingdi took the initiative to reduce the price.

If possible, he will cut it out without money, which may become the sign he needs the most.

"That'...... I'll call and ask. ”

Liu Zimu took his mobile phone to the corridor and dialed Zhou Han.

"Zimu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm all here, the mother film will definitely not run. ”

Liu Zimu said, "Brother Han, Wang Mingdi asked if he could give him another three days, and he wanted to check and fill in the gaps again." ”

"There's no need, right?"

Wang Mingdi said that he gave a nine-percent discount. ”

And this kind of good thing?

How can that work, if you give me a discount, you're preventing me from completing the task.

Can you still lose that little money?

"Discounts are definitely not good, and the cost is as much as it should be. ”

"You tell him to cut boldly, cut according to his ideas, and in addition, tell him to pay attention to his body and not work overtime. ”

"And you, my best assistant, must take care of yourself. ”

"I see, I'll remind them too. Liu Zimu hung up the phone.

Zhou Han threw his mobile phone on the table, a little panicked.

Working overtime, how can this work, what if the film is edited too perfectly and the audience buys it?

Can you take responsibility for making box office profits?

Two and a half hours of footage, you really watched it frame by frame.

I'll give you 50,000 yuan, as for being so serious?

The film was cut out and approved by the State Administration of Film.

Just find a cinema movie and put it on, it's best not to arrange a prime time schedule, just hit the street properly, perfect.

Thinking of this, Zhou Han not only smiled.

Su Jing happened to walk in with this month's salary scale, and when she saw Zhou Han's smile, she felt a little evil.

She took a hard look at her shirt.

The button on the neckline is buttoned, so what is he laughing at?

Liu Zimu put down his mobile phone and was a little moved in his heart.

Zhou Han transferred all the rights to him without reservation.

What kind of trust is it to put him in charge of the full cycle management of the entire film?

The video of "Ten Miles of Fragrance", he himself is not sure at all.

It was Zhou Han who proved his talent to the world in his unique way, and the name of the director above was him Liu Zimu.

Now that film is playing on a loop on e-commerce platforms and offline TVs.

There are countless small screens, and there is always a time to display his name Liu Zimu.

Even the girl he had a crush on called him and asked him if the director was him.

Listen to the girl's voice with envy and admiration.

Liu Zimu calmly said that it was a short film directed by him, and now he is making a big movie.

The girl was very happy, and said that if she had the opportunity, she must let Liu Zimu treat him and slaughter him hatefully.

After Liu Zimu hung up the girl's phone, she cried a little unhappily.

He originally gave up on this relationship, but at that moment, he seemed to have found a way forward.

The motivation comes from Zhou Han's infinite trust.

He calmed down and said to Wang Mingdi: "Mr. Zhou said, I completely believe you. ”

"Also, let you don't work overtime and take care of your health. ”

Wang Mingdi took a big sip of tea, spit out a tea leaf sandwiched between his teeth, and the hand holding the mouse was a little excited.

Who says editors deserve to be machines?

They are also painters with souls, who stitch together those film materials into a beautiful picture.

What trust and respect this is!

"MD, fight!"
