Chapter 348: Happy Editing, Huge Debt
PS: Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass!!
"Fear Room" is down, and it will take more than a month to share the spoils.
The film was a big hit on Hong Kong Island, and it instantly made many filmmakers on the island see business opportunities. I think there will be many independent film companies to follow the trend and shoot horror movies to test the waters.
This horror film is also favored by many small studios in other cities, and the fax of the purchase contract appears on the company's desk like snowflakes.
Xiang Sheng, the producer who walked to the front desk to attract bees and butterflies, was frequently interviewed by the media, trying to create a new character.
One word.
In the entertainment industry, the image of all popular stars is the image after the whitewash of magnesium lights and pens. Remember lip sync: everyone!
In later generations, a cool upright girl, a hot overeating foodie to lose weight! An old cadre abstinence is a person...... Walking into this Vanity Fair, everyone is either an actor or a singer, so it's either good to say or sing well.
Xiang Sheng really washed himself with "Fear Room".
He was also very active in promoting the release of this drama in the foreign market, but Jiang Zhiqiang interrupted his thoughts. After "Two Heroes" is released in other cities, the benefits will undoubtedly be maximized through the gimmick of the iron triangle of Zhou Runfa, Liang Gallium and Wu Xiaozu.
"True Colors of Heroes" broke local box office records in Southeast Asia last year. And "Two Heroes", which broke the box office record since the opening of Hong Kong Island, is naturally given great expectations.
There are Cai Songlin's scholar film companies and cinemas to operate in the Wanwan market, and there are also Antai and other film companies in Southeast Asia to pave the way for publicity. Thinking about it, these two movies can bring greater profits to Wu Xiaozu.
…
Monday, October 12.
The editing room next to the 1024 Locomotive (Sha Tin) studio was full of laughter.
The post-editing progress of "Suspect" exceeded Wu Xiaozu's expectations.
This drama was in the hands of Kwong Zhixuan and Chen Zhiwei, the two best editors of the later Academy Awards, and soon edited out a well-ordered rough cut material. At this rate, the drama may be released in November.
Kwong Chi-sin and Chan Chi-wai themselves participated in the pre-preparation, production and story discussion of "The Suspect", and during the film editing process, they also constantly communicated with director Wu Hsiao-cho to understand the editing intention, discuss the expected imaging effect, preset colors and film aspect ratio.
During the filming of the film, there is a scene recording board before each filming. The main reason is for the convenience of editing.
Because the editor needs to follow the serial number of the scene schedule to organize, classify and rename the material to ensure that it can be understood when editing.
Then, you need to proofread the audio and picture transcoded into the editing table, which is not difficult and can be done carefully. But the workload was very heavy in the film era. In fact, in the era of editing software in later generations, this is also a work that requires more patience.
Rough cutting is mainly to combine the materials with a high degree of completion in order according to the provisions of the storyboard, script and shooting director's codex, so that the prototype of the film can be displayed.
"The picture here is too bright. The director's codex of the scene record should have my comments on the scene at that time, and my intentions were all recorded there. And the length of time is a bit too long. It needs to be processed again by the number of frames. ”
Wu Xiaozu smiled and encouraged: "Have you seen Yoji Yamada's "Happy Yellow Handkerchief", you know that he is 'replacing people with things', but you are still looking forward to the appearance of the yellow handkerchief at the end." People and emotions are revealed through objects. This wildflower is a metaphor for replacing people with things. and "The Call of the Distant Mountains", his post-processing is very simple, but very ...... Belch...... How to put it, very sincerely!"
Wu Xiaozu organized the language, "Throw away those gorgeous editing methods, just simply tell the story." The editing of the shots does not need to be sharp, it is just smooth, tranquil and natural. This drama doesn't need to show off skills. ”
Kuang Zhixing, Chen Zhiwei, Wang Jiawei, Qiu Litao, Ye Weixin, and Luo Liyuan, the children's shoes of the little chrysanthemum class, all took the notebook and took notes.
The post-editing work is the step of editing, discussing feedback, re-editing, re-discussing, re-editing, and feedback.
The director has to explain his understanding of the film, and at the same time, the editor will also build it according to the script and materials. There is definitely a difference between reality and ideas, and the work of editing requires constant help to the director to balance and refine the relationship between the two.
After a rough cut, the director and editor determine the direction, pacing, and tone of the film.
"Director Wu, will the tragic ending of this play displease the audience?" asked Wang Jiawei holding his notebook.
"The end of the movie must be a happy reunion that is more appealing, but a shocking ending can also satisfy the audience. Overall, the ending of the movie "Suspect" is not a tragedy, but he is a touching G-spot that allows the audience to reach resonance. ”
Wu Xiaozu explained in a good mood, "In the process of script creation and film shooting, the first consideration is not a reunion, comedy or tragedy. Your film needs to resonate with the audience to a certain extent. Even if it is a, pee and fart movie, as long as it can hit the laughter in the audience's heart, it is not a success.
For example, in "The Chamber of Fear", do you say that he has a tragic ending or a happy ending? First, the theme of the movie is different. Second, the atmosphere of the movie is different. You just need to find the expectations that you and the audience share.
For example, comedy, the most afraid is the kind of forced tickling to make the audience laugh, in fact, even if it is a reunion, it does not attract the audience. Aren't you going to be an assistant director of Ah Cheng's "Fang Legacy Love" in a few days? ”
Fei Cheng set that movie as "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty 1 Yan Tan's Last Love: The Last Love of the Green Hat Royal Family". Among them, the assistant director finalized Wang Jiawei and Ye Weixin.
In that movie, Li Hanxiang was the art consultant and Wang Jiawei was the assistant director. Don't say it, Wu Xiaozu is looking forward to the completion of the movie. Actually, think about it, Wang Jiawei's flirtatious character, his movies are a little more explicit, and it is absolutely appropriate for Xiao Huangwen's sense of déjà vu.
In the busy studio, the editing room has set the editing direction, and the editing team needs to make the final cut. At the same time, according to the timecode left by the editor, the mixing, soundtrack, color grading, special effects and other effects are also completed at this stage.
After communicating here, Wu Xiaozu went to the side with a smile to see Pan Hengsheng take some promotional photos for Zhang Guoxuan.
At this moment, there is no concept of a promotional video on Hong Kong Island, let alone a team dedicated to editing promotional videos.
Unlike later generations, many bad movies will ask the top team to edit a cool movie promo in order to make money, and you will find out when you enter the cinema - the essence is in the promo.
In order to cater to the publicity strategy and attract the audience's attention, the title of "Suspect" was also officially set by Wu Xiaozu as "Only One Suspect".
"Spotting?"
Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at his brother who was posing in a concave shape, "It seems that your mental outlook has improved a lot?"
"If I had been asked to pose a little less, I would have recovered better......" Zhang Guoxuan helplessly held up the script and laughed back.
In order to better grasp the propaganda point.
Zhang Guolu needs to cooperate in taking some photos of his promotional period.
For example:
Study the script all night!
Crazy fitness and weight loss for filming!
Filming loses hanging bottles!
Zhang Guolu thought that this was a propaganda photo taken by Wu Xiaozu, but he didn't know that it was a "propaganda photo".
This kind of thing, there is no need to let Virgo Zhang Guoxuan know.
With Zhang Guoxuan's popularity on Hong Kong Island now, when he wants to promote the movie, he suddenly releases such a private "corroboration", which will definitely make many fans feel distressed to tears, right?
Let fans cry and cry and earn money back by the way, why not do it? Who earns is not earned!
What is dedication?
What is acting?
What does it mean to give?
Acting is worth 6 points and propaganda is worth 4 points.
If the publicity goes well, Wu Xiaozu can at least let Zhang Guolu reflect the taste of the actor.
There was news from He Chaoqiong that Mrs. Chen intends to cooperate in the establishment of an entertainment company. If this is really the case, it is also in the interests of Wu Xiaozu to help Zhang Guolu get an actor in advance.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu smiled and ignored Zhang Guoxuan's complaints.
"Brother Zu—"
Just as Wu Xiaozu was smiling and looking at Zhang Guoxuan to make up the shot, Ye Weixin sweated profusely and ran towards Wu Xiaozu with his mobile phone.
After receiving the call, Wu Xiaozu's face changed greatly.
……
Universal Building.
The atmosphere was smoky and oppressive.
A person in charge of a trader at Xingwang Investment Bank looked at the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and holding on to the window frame, staring at the Exchange Square not far away.
Hurriedly glanced at the assistant.
Several people faintly took a few steps closer to Wu Xiaozu's side, ready to rush up to save people at any time.
This is the 20th floor.
Don't dare to leave anything to chance.
The other party can be regarded as a living life no matter what.
The wind blows on the face, and the feeling of being hot and humid makes it difficult to breathe.
Wu Xiaozu stood silently by the window, looking at Exchange Square!
He got a call in the studio.
Before the Hong Kong Island stock market crashed, the violent rise of the K-line instantly wiped out 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
15 million gone!
Go to Nima's stock market dream!
"Heh......"
Wu Xiaozu smiled self-deprecatingly, he now wants to know how those reborn bigwigs who gamble on the stock market with money play the stock market? 30 times leverage, a few percent rise in the K-line made him explode directly.
"Mr. Wu, do you need to close the position urgent......ly?
The person in charge took the phone, paused, and saw Wu Xiaozu turn his head lightly, he spread his hands, "The exchange is closed, you can delay it for another day." If you don't have any money coming in after that, you're probably out...... Of course, a sudden plunge is not ruled out tomorrow...... It's unlikely, though. ”
"Really?"
Wu Xiaozu smiled, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he turned his head to look at the flowery Exchange Square, "Three days, 15 million?"
"You are 30 times leveraged, and now you have lost about 130 million. If you need to continue, you need to invest at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars in a deposit to ......" The person in charge cautiously looked at Wu Xiaozu standing in front of the window, and scolded in his heart.
If Wu Xiaozu hadn't stood in front of the window of his office, he would have shouted something like "I don't have money to play with your MB!".
The stock market is: create happiness with salary, and have no money to play your MB!
For a moment, Wu Xiaozu felt a bunch of twisted vines flashing with a smile in front of him.
"20 million ......"
Wu Xiaozu tapped his fingers on the window frame, he really admired those lonely bigwigs. In reality, they definitely don't see the day when they make money!
"I'll follow!"
Wu Xiaozu raised his head and his eyes were sharp.
"When is the latest?"
"Before the market opens tomorrow. ”
"What time is tomorrow?"
"October 13th. ”
"I'll give you the money tonight. Wu Xiaozu turned around and walked towards the office door.
This made several people breathe a sigh of relief, and they all looked at each other.
"It seems that our Boss Wu has quite a lot of funds, which seems to be good news. We don't have to re-find customers. The person in charge shrugged.
Get out of the room.
Wu Xiaozu couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
20 million?
He is now unsure when the stock market will crash, or ...... Not a big drop?
But he knew he needed to raise at least HK$30 million now!
He doesn't dare to guarantee that the stock market fluctuates by 20 million is enough!
This heart-pounding feeling hasn't been seen for a long time!!
Stand at the intersection of the road and look left and right.
Right now......
