Mid-July.

A sunny morning.

Huayi Brothers President's Office.

Lin Xiaoguang sipped coffee and sipped a cigar, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looking out of the window, the whole city was in full view, the high-rise buildings formed the unique urban skyline of the metropolis, and the street below, matchbox-sized cars flowed endlessly.

Huang Zhonglei sat on the high chair, looked at Lin Xiaoguang's back and asked, "Xiaoguang, what can be released about your new movie?

Lin Xiaoguang turned his head, looked at Huang Zhonglei and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, my movie was only finished at the end of June, and I want to release it in August, which is an almost impossible task for a modern movie." ”

Huang Zhonglei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said: "Since the summer file is too late, let's choose the National Day, that schedule is good." ”

"Okay, I'll try to get all the later stages done by mid-September. ”

In fact, Lin Xiaoguang's original intention was to let "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" be released around December, just in time for the Chinese New Year, because generally speaking, the post-production of the movie takes about half a year on average, including a few months of editing and a few months of sound.

And even if it can be released in October, it doesn't mean that Lin Xiaoguang can make the movie at the end of September, because there is still a process of sending copies, and all the processes must be completed around mid-September anyway.

Add the final mix, generated, and in September, everything is almost closed.

However, Huang Zhonglei's proposal is not unreasonable, he wants to take advantage of the residual warmth of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and it is not a good thing to let the movie be released early.

Of course, the reason why Huang Zhonglei is so anxious to let "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" be released quickly is also because he is afraid that Lin Xiaoguang's film and the new movie "The Wind" produced by Feng Xiaowan will collide with the Lunar New Year file at the same time, in that case, for Huayi, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Although Feng Xiaowan is only the producer of the movie "The Wind", Cheng Guofu and Gao Qunshuhe are the real directors, but Feng Xiaotank's box office appeal status in the mainland film circle is still one of the best.

Like Feng Xiaowan's previous filming of the romantic comedy movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", although Lin Xiaoguang felt that it was very ordinary, but after the film was released during the Chinese New Year last year, it finally reached a terrifying box office of 325 million yuan in the mainland, which was more than 100 million yuan higher than Lin Xiaoguang's "Those Years", and broke the box office record of Chinese films in mainland China.

Now that he has agreed to Huang Zhonglei's request, Lin Xiaoguang needs to complete the editing, color grading, sound, music, special effects and so on of the movie "Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in one month.

Just imagine, some complicated advertisements or micro-movies can't be completed in such a short time, not to mention that this is a movie with an investment of nearly half a billion.

Maybe many people don't know what this means, but if someone is also engaged in film and television post-production, they know the meaning of this.

The reason why Lin Xiaoguang was able to take a huge risk to make this decision was because after apprehension, he also had a certainty in his heart.

Because "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" had three editing teams during the filming, the DIT data management of the crew was also very good.

Every day on the set of the shooting, the on-set editor, cameraman and assistant director and on-site editor will edit the scene according to the content of the shooting.

At the same time as the filming was finished, their editing work had been completed, and Lin Xiaoguang could immediately check whether there was any lack of footage.

In the evening, Yuan Ze and Fu Kun's team are responsible for sorting and stacking the footage, where they will leave as long as possible usable clips and all data preservation, while Zhang Weili, a very good editor who entered later, and his assistant Liu Beixiang are responsible for a formal editing.

Based on their understanding of the script and storyboards, they will edit out the version that the crew actually uses.

This kind of work is also the best for director Lin Xiaoguang, because when Lin Xiaoguang is not very satisfied with the performance of one piece, he can immediately tell the editor which shot can be replaced.

If you wait until the completion of the work to do this, it is estimated that a lot of it has been forgotten.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's September.

The later stage of the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has basically been completed, and the script has been approved by the Beijing Film Studio and sent to the Film Bureau for review.

Because this movie is a story that takes place in a sensitive period and a large-scale passion scene, Lin Xiaoguang seems a little nervous, and the time to wait for Xin'er becomes more and more difficult.

was really upset about waiting, so Lin Xiaoguang went to China Film Group to ask Han Sanping, one of the film investors, about the situation.

Lin Xiaoguang asked Han Sanping: "Dong Hand, can you pass the audit?"

Han Sanping said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely be able to pass." ”

Lin Xiaoguang asked again: "What if it can't pass?"

Han Sanping became serious, and said to Lin Xiao seriously: "If you can't pass, then either you Lin Xiao have exhausted your Guangqi, or I have exhausted Han Sanping's Qi!"

A few days later, the good news came.

Wang Gengnian, the deputy director in charge of creation of the Film Bureau, called Han Sanping, and the phone call lasted for more than an hour, and Director Wang exchanged opinions with Han Sanping on the plot and dialogue in the film, as well as the movie screen, word by word, and told him which passages must be deleted, which ones are just a little worried, and which ones are just out of personal differences, and the director can consider them at his discretion.

In the end, Wang Gengnian said: The content of the film is approved in principle, and after being revised, it will be reported to the Film Bureau for filing and copying, and it is agreed that the National Day file will be released.

When Lin Xiaoguang got the news, his excitement was indescribable.

It's just that the fly in the ointment is that because there is no film classification system in the mainland, and the movie involves some over-the-top content in sensitive periods, the entanglements and conflicts between some characters in the original work, as well as the kiss scenes and passion scenes between Lin Xiaoguang and Zhao Liying, were all deleted when it was time to edit.

In addition, due to the large amount of deleted content in the movie, Lin Xiaoguang had no choice but to use subtitles to explain the plot.

However, no matter what, Lin Xiaoguang finally completed the follow-up work of the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in advance on the afternoon of September 12.

And Cheng Yanxi flew back to the capital on the same day after staying at home for a few days after filming the scene of the movie "I Heard".

When the plane landed on the ground, it happened to be dusk.

Maybe because he was in a foreign land, he would inevitably feel a little lonely and timid, so when Cheng Yanxi returned to the capital this time, the first thing she did when she got out of the airport was to dial Lin Xiaoguang's mobile phone number: "Boss, I'm back." ”

Lin Xiaoguang picked up the phone and said with a surprised expression: "Filming was finished so quickly, haven't you only been filming over there for a month?"

"Where's the boss, I've been in Taipei for more than two months, are you going to forget me if I don't call you today? You boss with no conscience is really incompetent......

There is an old saying in China, a good horse doesn't eat the grass that goes back, but Lin Xiaoguang didn't know how to drop it, and when he heard Cheng Yanxi on the other end of the phone coquettishly coquettish to himself, he suddenly wanted to reminisce about the taste of Cheng Yanxi's grass back.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaoguang continued to speak: "Then why don't I invite you to dinner tonight to make amends?"

"Well, well, what do you want to treat me to dinner?"

"Eat ......"

It doesn't really matter what you eat anymore.
