Chapter 109: Post-Production

When Wu Huai went to find Jiang Shouyuan, the rough cut of "Langya Bang" had been completed and entered the stage of fine cutting.

Jiang Shouyuan, who was full of scum and tired, beckoned to Wu Huai with a smile and said with a smile: "Come over Ahuai, come and see the effect!"

Wu Huai said apologetically: "Thank you Director Jiang, the affairs of the studio have been busy for a while, and now I am free." ”

"It's okay, it's my job. Jiang Shouyuan sat Wu Huai down and said, "Let's see the results of these days." ”

Jiang Shouyuan clicked on a video file and introduced: "This is the title commissioned by a special effects company, it is in ink style, I let the clip be accompanied by music, how about you take a look?"

Wu Huai nodded, deliberately comparing the difference between the original version and his own, and looked at it carefully.

The music at the beginning of the video is majestic and majestic, but it suddenly turns treacherous, and an ink picture of 10,000 people fighting in the picture gradually takes shape.

At the most intense part of the music, a chrysalis appears in the picture, and the moment the cocoon breaks into a butterfly and the butterfly wings unfold, the music suddenly becomes affectionate and euphemistic, and the loop repeats.

Butterflies flutter their wings, passing through steep mountain peaks and dangerous bushes, this scene can't help but make Wu Huai feel the scene of Mei Changsu trying her best to whirl around and do her best in the plot.

In the end, the butterflies stopped, and they returned to calm, and the title of "Langya Bang" was revealed.

Wu Huai nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's very good, there are both ups and downs, and it's also very meaningful." ”

Jiang Shouyuan smiled and said: "Find Dongying's special effects department to make it for us, the cost price, you have to invite you for lunch." ”

Jiang Shouyuan really did his best for this "Langya Bang", and even used his own feelings.

Wu Huai said gratefully: "Don't say it's a meal, you should eat for a year!"

"I remember this sentence!" Jiang Shouyuan was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Show you the clips cut in the past two days, so that you can see Lao Ding's editing skills."

Ding Xutong, a middle-aged man in his fifties who was unkempt next to him, said: "Don't praise me, if Ah Huai is not satisfied, it will be embarrassing." ”

said so, but Ding Xutong's self-confidence can be said to be beyond words.

Compared with directors and actors, the profession of editor can be said to be infamous.

Take Ding Xutong as an example, except for the director circle, there are not many other people who know him.

But this does not mean that his technical level is low, as an editor who has worked with Jiang Shouyuan for a long time, his level can be called the first ****** cut clips in China to start playing, which is the plot of the Nihuang County Lord.

In this clip, Mei Changsu's anxiety and calmness, the arrogance and fierceness of the county lord, the strong and impulsive spirit of King Jing, the madness of Concubine Yue, the cowardice and cowardice of the prince, the complacent ambition of King Yu, and the hesitation and majesty of the emperor are all presented one by one with a very impactful picture after editing.

And what surprised Wu Huai even more was the confrontation between King Jing and Mei Changsu later.

King Jing's questioning and reprimands were aggressive, and Mei Changsu's response was hidden, which was the first real confrontation between the two.

The just right soundtrack and rhythmic camera changes greatly enhance the appeal and tension of the picture.

King Jing and Mei Changsu explained the purpose and bottom line to each other, and there were some implications, which were quite tense.

Mei Changsu looked at King Jing, listening to his resentful tone when he mentioned the conspiracy, there was a faint relief in his eyes.

At this time, the soundtrack was heroic and righteous, which was moving, and Mei Changsu bowed deeply and expressed his determination to King Jing.

Wu Huai couldn't help but exclaim: "Teacher Ding's editing level is really amazing!"

"I'll just say it, Ahuai will definitely be satisfied. Jiang Shouyuan said with a smile.

His own standards are already very strict, and he can't find any fault with these shots, so there must be no big problem with Wu Huai!

"It's all my credit!" Ding Xutong shook his head with a smile and said: "Lao Jiang's camera composition and Xiao Huai's performance are the more critical places." ”

Ding Xutong obviously has a special admiration for Jiang Shouyuan's composition.

He paused at random, pointed to the picture and said: "Look at this composition, it uses the rule of thirds, the person on the right third line of the lens, the ratio of heaven and earth is just one to three, and the harmonious beauty of man and nature is nothing more than that......"

"And here. Ding Xutong pulled another picture at random, and gestured with his hand: "This is the shot of the golden spiral composition wave, a rectangle made of squares with Fibonacci numbers as the side, and then draw a 90-degree fan shape in the square, you see the midpoint of the connection, is it just the position of the character's cheek!"

"The most classic is this lens," Ding Xu Tong pulled the camera to the picture of Mei Changsu and Lin Chen sitting opposite each other indoors, and he said with a sigh: "The composition of this lens includes symmetry, three-point, frame and other compositional methods...... Layers of door frames, low camera shooting, the picture will not be flat, giving people a sense of order in traditional society, the picture is constantly reframed, the smallest composition becomes the visual center, there is a sense of the two of them sitting across the mountain......"

Ding Xutong's analysis Wu Huai only understood a general idea, but in his opinion, these shots did have a very comfortable and harmonious feeling.

Jiang Shouyuan listened to Ding Xutong's analysis and praise with a complacent face, and his heart was extremely comfortable, he was still the old Ding Hui's eyes!

"And Ahuai's acting skills ......" Ding Xu Tong just wanted to praise Wu Huai, but was decisively interrupted by Jiang Shouyuan.

"Let's stop flattering each other!" Jiang Shouyuan pointed to the screen with a straight face and said, "Time is pressing, let's continue." ”

Wu Huai, who was about to receive a wave of praise, rolled his eyes and was speechless...... Let me have a good time, can't you?

The three of them devoted themselves to the editing work together, and to Jiang Shouyuan and Ding Xutong's surprise, Wu Huai was also quite insightful in this regard.

Especially in the control of the rhythm of the plot, he seems to have extraordinary sensitivity and insight, which makes Jiang Shouyuan and the others admire.

With the cooperation of the three of them, the editing speed of "Langya Bang" was a little faster than planned.

"By the way, Director Jiang, why the episode is not embedded, it is a little less feeling. As the day passed, Wu Huai asked with some confusion.

Jiang Shouyuan explained with a smile: "We invited Cheng Decheng to make the episode, because it was original, so it was very wasteful, two days ago he sent a demo, and we called it back, I don't think it's appropriate." ”

Wu Huai's heart moved and asked, "How many soundtracks do we need?"

Jiang Shouyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Pure music needs six to eight songs, this can be selected, the problem is not big, the original lyrics and songs need five songs, including the beginning and end." ”

Wu Huai smiled and said shamelessly: "I just wrote two songs some time ago......"
