Chapter 375: Completed in One Night
It should be said that Zhang Liang can be regarded as the most relaxed director.
After all, he has such a systematic existence, needless to say that he can redeem the script or something, and more importantly, he can see the "finished product", and he also knows the various influences and praises of this role.
Let's not talk about the influence and praise of the work, just having the finished product can save Zhang Liang a lot of effort. After all, the completion of a work, even if various changes and arrangements have been made to the script in the early stage, and certain improvements have been made during filming, but how can the completion of a work be so easy, isn't it?
Not only may you have to shoot a lot of shots for each shot in case you need it, but this alone will waste a lot of time and repeat the shot over and over again, which is time-consuming, laborious and costly. And even after the shooting, even if you shoot a lot of extra shots for editing, there may still be various omissions in the end, or the director suddenly has a flash of inspiration during editing.
In addition, there are also issues such as soundtracks, filters, theme songs, etc., these are things that need more inspiration and fit, many times in order to accompany a shot with a background music, it can drive a director crazy, or even if it is tossed for a few months, it may not be possible to find a satisfactory song, just like when Ge Datie was looking for a song for "I Am Not Ximen Qing".
Therefore, because of the existence of so many unstable factors, the production of a film is difficult and long, but these problems are not a problem for Zhang Liang at all!
What could be more deceitful and intuitive than having a finished product?
Because of the existence of the finished product, those superfluous shots don't need to be shot at all; because of the existence of the finished product, there is no need to hurt your brain where to use any background music; because of the existence of the finished product, you don't need to think about the theme song and propaganda song; and even because of the existence of the finished product, it is clear where there are deficiencies and where improvements can be made.
The existence of this system not only provided Zhang Liang with countless classic works, but also saved Zhang Liang a lot of energy, and more importantly, saved a lot of money.
Of course, on the other hand, this is actually a test for Zhang Liang, which can be regarded as a burden on the soul.
If the previous results of "Charlotte's Troubles" were very dismal, then at least Zhang Liang has an excuse to shirk the actor's problems, after all, most of the actors in "Charlotte's Troubles" are newcomers, but what about this "Infernal Affairs" now?
Not only did the king participate, but also invited a bunch of big-name actors, including the existence of the Golden Horse actor!
As for the funds, venues, equipment, etc., Liu Dehua is single-handedly handled, it would be crazy to say that it is the extreme, but at least the high-end is still counted!
The time and place are favorable, everything is ready, all that is needed is Zhang Liang's guidance and filming, if in such a situation, Zhang Liang still has not been able to shoot "Infernal Affairs" perfectly, ruining the classics of that world, this is a kind of psychological pressure on Zhang Liang.
Of course, this pressure is only for him, and only he knows it, even if he really hits the street, no one will know what kind of classic Zhang Liang ruined, but this person is sometimes easy to drill the horns of the bull, and it is easy to pass his own hurdle.
Such a result naturally causes Zhang Liang to be strict with filming and strive for perfection as much as possible, such a result may not be a bad thing, at least for the work, as for those actors who were destroyed by Zhang Liang, the big demon king, it is another matter.
Then again, Zhang Liang naturally knows how to edit this movie because of the existence of the finished product, and even when he was shooting, he had already numbered the shots one by one, and other directors edited it with a big cut, watching it back and forth over and over again or even hundreds or thousands of times, and finally you determine which ones need to be cut, but what Zhang Liang did was just moving the shots together, at most trimming off a little bit of the shots.
So, you can imagine how easy it is to edit like this, and as for the soundtrack or something, Zhang Liang was ready before the editing, and he only needed to add it at the right time when editing, not to mention that he still had a hand speed card, and it was naturally more efficient to complete the thing that was not difficult with this good thing.
So it is conceivable that when the members of the group came over the next day to get ready for a good fight, they found that they had already completed it, and they were shocked by how powerful it was, and they even began to suspect that Zhang Liang was not a human being.
With such a director, I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky.
Fortunately, it's basically over with no work; unfortunately, how much money can you get for such a little work? The key is that with the existence of such a perverted director, they are even beginning to worry about their jobs, whether they will not need to make movies in the future!
After the movie was finished, Zhang Liang found them to familiarize themselves with the equipment, and by the way, they followed the soundtrack team to record a series of soundtracks and theme songs, etc., at this time they were wondering, Zhang Liang's accuracy is too perverted, other directors are all pinching and pinching, just a sound effect may be tossed for several days, but Zhang Liang is all the way over like a running account.
Record this first, and then record this, there is no such thing as modifying or picking and choosing, and even when they reacted, even the theme song had already been recorded, the key is that Zhang Liang even directly imitated Liu Dehua's voice and even needed Liu Jianming's actor Liu Dehua to sing the part of Zhang Liang directly contracted, which made everyone on the spot almost go crazy, and Liu Dehua, who learned about it, couldn't cry or laugh, and even had an urge to strangle Zhang Liang.
After the recording was completed, Zhang Liang let them go home to rest, as a member of the post-production group, I thought that Zhang Liang was an enlightened director, and gave them a vacation to rest before the strong post-editing, and they needed to take this opportunity to be warm with their wife and girlfriend, otherwise the ghost knew that it would be a few months before they could reunite with them, so that night, the members of this group of post-production groups were all athletes.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that when they came to the studio with complicated feelings, they found that their work had already been done by Zhang Liang alone, and it only took one night!
Whether it was doubt, or disbelief, it wasn't until Zhang Liang rubbed his eyes and left the studio that the group reacted, and hurriedly played the finished product edited by Zhang Liang, until the whole film was completed, and the cast list was already played, and the group of people still looked incredulous.
Then...... The whole studio exploded!
