PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Spring breeze proud building, the second floor private room.

The cups are staggered, men and women laugh, the atmosphere is full of joy, and the spring breeze is vigorous.

"Third brother, I want to take a few more sets of shots. ”

A tall man with straight hair smiled and whispered to the man with a feminine fat smell on the other side, "You know, this time I finally brought a beautiful boy to shoot a film, and specially took care of your Wang Zuyuan to play the heroine." After cutting the film, I felt that there was a lack of gimmicks, so I designed a new set of 'eyeball plays', and I must praise that Taiwanese girl to be brilliant......"

"Eyeballs?"

Chen Ziqiang helped his brown glasses, glanced at Deng Guangrong meaningfully, and said, "Sixth, Xianxian is my newly adopted 'daughter', if you have other thoughts......

"Third brother, I do things according to the rules. Did I baat your 'daughter' when I messed with it?"

Facing the square, the high-spirited man hugged the woman next to him and kissed him, and chuckled without looking up, "Besides, I have always been short of women, what I lack is someone who can help me make money! I just think that the quality of the Taiwanese sister is good, I just praise her......"

"It's for the best. Chen Ziqiang nodded with a meaningful smile, "Xianxian flight 00544 the day after tomorrow." ”

"Third brother, I toast you!"

The square-faced man smiled heartily, hugged the woman next to him and greeted the two handsome and handsome men on the other side who were also flirting with the wine girl, "Second brother, fifth brother, Du Laozhi will be the east in a while!"

For a while, the box was full of spring, and the laughter was endless.

……

Pull tab room.

The screen is shown in front of the editing table, and the rough cut footage of "The Birth of a Word" is played slowly.

Qiu Litao, Liu Weiqiang, and Huang Yuetai stared at the screen without blinking, while the two young people next to them stared at the front with tired but concentrated eyes.

The two young men were hired by Jiang Zhiqiang to be professionals in charge of post-dubbing, art, color grading, subtitles, special effects, etc.

The artist's name is Kwong Zhiliang, and the subtitle correction and special effects are called Chen Zhiwei.

Wu Xiaozu didn't care when he first saw the two, but when the editing work was overstretched, he could only reluctantly transfer the two to the editing team as assistants to help. At least they are more reliable than Fei Cheng and Luo Dong, right?

Behind the five people, Wu Xiaozu and Liang Jiahui crossed their legs and swallowed cigarettes.

He was dragged by Wu Xiaozu to be in charge of the poster design...... Anyway, he can't get the play. Wu Xiaozu didn't say this, for fear that Liang Xiao would hurt his self-esteem.

"How long has it been?" asked Liang with a yawn.

"130 minutes. ”

Wu Xiaozu picked up Liang Jiahui's arm, rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, "There are still 15 minutes of material ......"

"The Birth of a Word" has more than ten hours of various shot materials, and in the past few days, after rough cutting and preliminary editing, the preliminary distribution classification and plot sequence arrangement have been completed. Next, you need to double cut and comprehensive cut.

TV series editing generally has only two parts: the first cut and the second cut. However, most of the movies need to be comprehensively cut. This is to ensure the release effect.

The number of people working on the editing doesn't really need to be large. Too many people is not beneficial.

At this time, in the Hong Kong Island film industry, the number of Mai Zishan's editing team is the largest, and there are only 6 apprentices. The smallest number of people is the "low-key editor" Jiang Quande, who can cut three or four movies at the same time with an apprentice, worthy of the title of the four famous editors.

The main label of Hong Kong Island filmmakers is efficiency!

Editing is a test for editors.

First of all, the editor must understand the story that the director wants to express, and at the same time, complete the story without revealing the mountain dew, and make the film more flavorful.

There are many excellent editors on Hong Kong Island, but there are probably even fewer truly top editors than top directors. There are no less than a dozen famous directors in the world, but there are also only a handful of truly top editors.

Of course, even in Hollywood, the only person who can really be called a top editing master at this time may be Walter Murch. The "Godfather" trilogy and "Apocalypse Now" are all from his scissors.

Wu Xiaozu did not have a one-year preparation for cutting a play. I don't want to be like "The Godfather", using a method of blowing up the anti-editing theory to complete the editing.

He just wanted to use the most appropriate way to complete "The Birth of a Word", a film that included his heart's work.

This play is different from the conventions of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", its narrative structure and various montage arrangements are a new innovation.

In this regard, Wu Xiaozu still chose to get started in person, and did not hire a "famous editor" to help edit as Jiang Zhiqiang said. This movie is different from ordinary commercial films, and if it is a little worse, the taste will change.

……

"Brother Zu! This movie is so sharp! It has simply refreshed my understanding of the structure and story of the movie!" Qiu Litao looked at Wu Xiaozu with a ruddy face and a glow in his eyes.

Before "Song of Opportunity" and "Lola Run" became famous, Wu Xiaozu's "The Birth of a Word" was not an exaggeration to call it a film innovation! This is as amazing as many fans watching "Pulp Fiction" and "Two Big Smoking Guns" for the first time.

I found out after reading it.

Oh my God! The movie can still be played like this!

In the 80s, Wu Xiaozu's gameplay was enough to subvert the cognition of the film industry. The innovative techniques and black humorous stories far surpass Xu Yu's "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" a few years ago.

It can even be said that the two films are not of the same magnitude.

Wu Xiaozu himself is very satisfied with his work, for people in the 80s, this movie is shocking from the story concept, film structure and color, position, and lens.

In 1998, a simple story like "Lola Run" could shake the world film industry and make many audiences jaw-dropping. knows how explosive the movie is with this kind of narrative structure.

A "Two Big Smoking Guns" can get Guy Ritchie to climb into Madonna's bed, and you can see how powerful this kind of innovative black humor movie is.

Later, Ning Xiaohao's "Crazy Stone" made him and a group of cast and crew brilliant.

"Master, the camera is so exciting!"

Liu Weiqiang stared at Huang Yuetai with a look of surprise. As a cinematographer, he knows best how this film shapes the sense of space. The position of each character is greatly enriched by the picture, and this kind of gameplay appeared for the first time on Hong Kong Island.

Huang Yuetai slanted her shoulders and smiled, standing in a very 'Zhang Wenshun' style. The greasy potholes on the face echo with the light breeze of the clouds.

filmed "The Birth of a Word", he was also full of surprises. In order to achieve the imaging effect required by Wu Xiaozu, many lenses have to rack their brains. This movie has also benefited him a lot.

Now everyone looked at Wu Xiaozu excitedly. Everyone has too much love for "The Birth of a Word".

There is a sense of ritual in the whole movie.

Cruel!

The tense and ritualistic spatial position, the intense opposite sides, like the colors of the 18th century, the black humorous lines, and the innovative dramatic structure. This drama is full of an atmosphere called "cool".

"Now we need a soundtrack!" Kwong Zhiliang said in a low and excited voice. As a post-production crew, he is sensitive to the pace of the film.

"Wrap it up on me!"

Without waiting for Wu Xiaozu to speak, Qiu Litao shook his greasy hair, patting his chest with red light, "Brother Zu, don't worry." I'm going to find the coolest musicians in Hong Kong to score for you! The first half of this movie is crazy to death, and the second half is so cool! It's so good for rock music! I have a lot of good friends in the rock circle......"

Looking at the long-haired version of Song Xiaobao that blossomed, Wu Xiaozu believed in the ability of those fox friends he had befriended.

This guy is clearly a rocker who was delayed by the director!

In the Hong Kong Island rock circle, Long Mao Tao is famous!

That night, Qiu Litao brought in a well-known rock band and a few musicians.

Looking at Qiu Litao, who was grinning at himself, for some reason, Wu Xiaozu immediately thought of an advertisement that was like brainwashing back then.

Thinking about it, the old lady who rushed over with a bamboo pole would burst out when she saw him, "Faster than me!?"
