At the beginning of May, the capital.

Light and shadow studio.

In other words, Lin Xiaoguang has never pursued artistic attainments much when making movies, but has paid more attention to the audience's feedback from watching the movie.

Therefore, when Lin Xiaoguang edited movies in his studio, he always liked to put himself in the position of the audience, and then examine what parts of the film needed to be processed and modified, and if he was an audience member and was particularly impatient with any paragraph, then he would make up his mind to delete this scene.

In the end, Lin Xiaoguang was stunned to delete the movie "Those Years" from a maximum of 150 to 109.

For Lin Xiaoguang's drastic editing style, Lin Xiaoguang, as the director, can quickly cut the mess, but the producer Huang Zhonglei is shocked.

"Xiaoguang, aren't you distressed? After 150 scenes of hard work, the Film Bureau hasn't spoken yet, so it's better for you to cut 40 scenes directly, can you still watch the movie if you go on like this?"

Lin Xiaoguang said confidently: "Brother Zhonglei, I'm not sure how good the movie I made is, but I'm sure the previous version is not good, because it's too long and boring." ”

What's more, during this long filming process, Lin Xiaoguang made the movie "Those Years" an independent work, rather than an autobiography like Nine Knives.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang weakened the personal traces of the nine knives in the movie as much as possible, and added many new details.

It took five days for Lin Xiaoguang to cut out the movie, and he watched the finished film with Huang Zhonglei, the person in charge of publicity, and the person in charge of distribution, and it felt very good.

Even if they feel that they can't do it, they can't ask Lin Xiaoguang to make changes, they are only responsible for publicity and investment, while director Lin Xiaoguang has the final editing rights of the entire movie.

After the movie was edited, Lin Xiaoguang also arranged for the actors to do the dubbing, soundtrack, and so on.

Not long after, Huang Zhonglei discussed the issue of publicity with the person in charge of China Film Group, the so-called publicity and distribution is actually the publicity and distribution of the film.

After repeated discussions, "Those Years" was finally scheduled to be released on July 3, competing for the summer vacation schedule.

As long as the summer vacation begins, there are a lot of blockbusters with all kinds of big investment and big productions at home and abroad, and there are all kinds of big investment and big movies, and it is difficult for "Those Years" to break out.

But Lin Xiaoguang chose this schedule, and being able to rush out of the blockbuster is a proof of strength.

Therefore, after Lin Xiaoguang took the film for review, Huayi Company immediately arranged publicity, and the promotional films, stills, posters, and movie release schedules began to be widely publicized.

Lin Xiaoguang's blog has also started the promotion of the movie in the past two days, and it seems that the effect is not bad.

is mainly the goodwill accumulated from the last movie "People in Embarrassment", plus after the trailer of "Those Years" and the theme song of the same name came out, the audience is waiting to go to the cinema to see the second movie directed by Lin Xiaoguang, and Lin Xiaoguang is also one of the screenwriters of the film...... The movie was edited by him himself.

There is no doubt that in the entire crew of "Those Years", Lin Xiaoguang is definitely the busiest one, and the distributor's China Film wants to arrange a team to do publicity and roadshows, and he must personally lead the team.

Because the actors in the movie "Those Years" are all newcomers, although Jing Bolin's popularity is not bad, but director Lin Xiaoguang's popularity is the highest, but he is the director and is still busy with various things behind the scenes, and the roadshow will not be interesting without him.

On May 25th, "Those Years" completed all post-production, and the film was handed over to Xinying for distribution, and Huang Zhonglei began to talk with the theater about the film schedule, the number of screenings, and some discounts.

Because the movie was going to be released in July, Lin Xiaoguang obviously didn't have any extra time to rest, but he was still arranged by Fei Qi to participate in singing the Olympic theme song - "Welcome to Shaojin".

Golden Homestead.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xiaoguang had just finished taking a shower at home and was about to go back to the studio to continue his work, when Fei Qi came to visit him with a contract and blocked him at the door.

When Fei Qi explained his intentions, Lin Xiaoguang didn't think about it, so he simply refused.

Lin Xiaoguang said bluntly: "Brother Qi, let me tell you this, I write songs purely to promote the movie, and I myself have no plans to enter the music world, so you should arrange the errand of singing to other people in the studio......"

After hearing this, Fei Qi hated iron and said: "Stinky boy, do you know or not? How many singers in this circle took the initiative to sign up for this event, and some even turned down the commercial performance and came to Beijing to participate in the recording of "Welcome to Shaojin" at their own expense. ”

"I look at you, now you are thinking about being a big director all day long, and you even look down on your identity as an actor, and sooner or later your acting career will be wasted. ”

Lin Xiaoguang said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Qi, you can misunderstand me, I am an actor, and I definitely don't mean to look down on the identity of an actor, in addition, I also like acting, but I haven't encountered a favorite script for the time being, so I chose to make my own movie." ”

Fei Qi made a straight face, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll ask you one last time, do you accept this activity or not?"

"Brother Qi, I'll tell you the truth, I've been busy with movies lately, and I really don't have much time to spend on singing. ”

Fei Qi said: "Don't worry about this, Brother Qi, I know that you are now a director entrusted by the company, and it will only take you long to record one or two lyrics." ”

Lin Xiaoguang knows that Fei Qi is for his own good, after all, "Welcome to Shaojing", as the theme song of the Olympic Games, is a work personally launched by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, and the whole song is based on the theme of "One World, One Dream", which has the characteristics of folk songs.

Not to mention for ordinary people, even the star singers in the circle are eager to do this, but any artist who is qualified to participate in singing this song, even if it is only one and a half sentences, can basically be called a major event to honor the ancestors.

For the sake of Fei Qi's hard work, it didn't take him long, but Lin Xiaoguang finally agreed.

Before going to the recording studio in Beijing, Lin Xiaoguang also signed a "confidentiality agreement".

And it's not just Lin Xiaoguang who wants to do this, except for Liu Huan recording in New York, everyone else must record and sing in the recording studios designated in Beijing, Xiangjiang, and Mosbei.

There is a producer in each recording studio, and Xiao Ke is the producer in the recording studio in the capital, mainly responsible for the work in the studio, the other staff are responsible for the work outside the studio, and some people are responsible for liaison.

So the situation is that after Lin Xiaoguang signed the contract, the staff directly pulled Lin Xiaoguang into the studio, and then after recording, he was pulled to the venue to shoot the MV.

Lin Xiaoguang originally wanted Jing Boran and Cheng Yanxi to sing "Shao Jing Welcome Ni" together, and by the way to promote the new movie, but because of the rush of time and the opposition of producer Xiao Ke, he had to give up this idea.

In other words, the summer file is always the most tragic battlefield in the film market of the year, and a large number of miracles often emerge in this golden season, concocting dazzling scenes and refreshing various box office records.

However, what Lin Xiaoguang didn't expect was that "Those Years" had just been confirmed to be released on July 10, and many blockbusters such as "Red Cliff" and "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog" have also been finalized in the past few days, and a week later, blockbusters such as "Painted Skin" and "Mei Lanfang" will take over.

The directors of these movies are either John Woo or Chen Kaige, no matter how bad it is, Huang Jing and Cheng Jiashang, Lin Xiaoguang is not sure if this is the most brutal summer civil war since the new century, but he still feels invisible pressure from it, after all, the whole group has put so much effort up and down, if the box office of the movie is poor, I am not only sorry for the efforts and dedication of the big guys, but also sorry for the trust of the company and investors.

However, after Huang Zhonglei watched the finished film of "Those Years", he was full of confidence in the box office of the movie.
