Chapter 224: Post-Production and Children

After a month and a half, the filming of "Red" was completed, and the crew was disbanded.

Bidding farewell to this quiet and beautiful town on the outskirts of Shanghai, Yu Jing boarded a plane to Kyoto, while Peng Yichen returned to Chang'an with the filmed film and the rest of the crew.

After arriving in Chang'an, his life entered the busyness of post-production of TV dramas.

You must know that the entire filming process of "Red" was done in the way of film production, so the editing method should also be done in the way of the movie.

This is a very large project, and no one in Huaxia has done this before, because of this way of shooting, the workload of post-production will become very large.

But Peng Yichen didn't believe in evil, he called all the existing 7 editors of Chang'an Film Studio together, and he checked it as a whole, and the 7 editors started work at the same time.

The single episode of "Red" is scheduled to be 40 minutes long, with a total of 48 episodes.

Peng Yichen's request is that each episode be edited as a movie, which is equivalent to editing 48 movies in a month.

With such a large amount of work, how to edit?

From a certain point of view, the plot of the TV series "Red" is not complicated, it basically revolves around several main characters, various confrontations and trivial matters of life that occur at a fixed time.

The theme of this TV series is ostensibly the story of a hero "Xu Tian" who uses his wisdom to defeat the Japanese spy "Yingzuo".

But the tone of the entire TV series is actually centered on the development of Tongfuli's parents.

This is also the main reason why Peng Yichen likes this TV series, the most exciting thing about this movie is actually to show the joys and sorrows of a group of ordinary people under the war.

But he has the skin of a hero, which greatly improves the watchability and commerciality of the whole story.

But in the previous life, where red was criticized by many viewers, it was precisely in the short plot of these parents.

Because during the filming process, there were too many emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists, and short life scenes in the parents, which caused the rhythm of the entire plot to drag on, resulting in insufficient tension between the male protagonist and the villain.

Of course, Peng Yichen did not shoot completely according to the version of his previous life, he cut the time of the rivalry between the male and female protagonists and the short plot of the parents, and the single scene shot was definitely no more than 3 minutes.

However, the total duration of these emotional scenes and daily life scenes remains the same, but the short shots are reasonably arranged, and they are scattered during the interval between the battle of wits between the actor Xu Tian and the villain.

This results in a fast-paced, sharp editing style like an American drama.

At Peng Yichen's request, 7 editors worked together to edit the first episode.

The picture quality is extremely high, the plot is compact and powerful, and the characters are natural and real, in Peng Yichen's eyes, the quality of this kind of TV series has caught up with or even surpassed the level of American dramas.

Of course, such a method of editing TV series must be unheard of in China.

As for whether it will succeed or not?

Peng Yichen just wants to make a "super wonderful work", as for how high the final ratings can be? How much money can the TV series make?

Those are not on his radar right now.

He firmly believes that as long as he does a good job in the movie, does a good job in publicity, and does all his work, the rest of the audience will help him complete it.

A month passed quickly, and after the editing was completed, the special effects production was completed.

After all, there are not many war scenes in "Red", and the special effects production is relatively simple.

In addition to editing and special effects production, another important part is the soundtrack of the TV series.

The classic background music of "Red" in the previous life, "Butterfly with Broken Wings", has a soft tune, and gently embraces the market and tranquility of Tongfuli and the singing and dancing of Cirous.

Peng Yichen naturally wouldn't give up such a good song, hummed it himself, asked the voice engineer to compose the music and fill in the lyrics, and still used it as background music in the movie.

There is also the good-sounding Tianxing Pingtan in the TV series, which is also the soundtrack part that Peng Yichen attaches more importance to.

In the entire TV series, there are three shots of commenting on the bomb.

For the first time, Xu Tian and Xiaocui listened to the commentary, and the first contact between Xu Tian and Jin Ge ended in the background sound of the commentary.

The second time, Xu Tian and Tian Dan listened to the commentary, and the tune on the stage was beautiful, which was not as good as the company of the beautiful woman in front of them.

For the third time, Xu Tian and Tian Dan were separated by Ying Zuo at two tables, the comments were pleasant, the eight treasures were soft and glutinous, but what was staged offstage was a life-and-death decision, and the eyes of Xu Tian and Tian Dan were full of worry.

In order to achieve the desired effect, Peng Yichen specially invited the only remaining commentator in China to score the music for this TV series.

Another important part of the soundtrack is the shot of Cinarus, with neon flashes and singing and dancing.

The camera swayed the lights of old Shanghai in the thirties, and the night was up and down.

In the TV series, the transaction between Brother Qi and Brother Liu, the negotiation between Brother Qi and Brother Jin, and the conversation between Brother Jin, Brother Jin and Ying Zuo were all completed in the background of Cirous's intoxication.

So this part of the soundtrack was all completed by Peng Yichen one by one.

Finally, there is the voice acting of the actors.

When Peng Yichen was filming "Red", all the actors were recorded on the spot, and the actors were required to speak their lines in a nice Wu Nong soft language.

This kind of harsh requirements for actors' lines is unprecedented in domestic crews.

But after the dubbing was completed, looking at the characters in the TV series, everyone spoke softly and gently, and walked with Tingting, which is the feeling that Peng Yichen wanted to make in the streets of Shanghai.

Listening to the people in the TV series, Peng Yichen even felt that he would not inadvertently "okay" when he spoke.

Peng Yichen knows that this kind of character dubbing effect is what he really wants.

……

After more than a month of hard work, Peng Yichen finally completed the post-production of "Red".

He simply edited a 20-minute short film and returned to Kyoto with it.

Because in two days, the Ministry of Culture will hold a TV drama viewing meeting in Kyoto.

"Yu Jing, there is something I will discuss with you. In the living room of the villa, Peng Yichen, who was sitting on the sofa, patted the position next to him.

Yu Jing, who was wearing loose home pajamas and tidying up the house, heard his words, walked to the sofa and sat down, "What's the matter?"

Peng Yichen put his arm around her and said, "I want to buy another house as our new house." ”

"New house, are you going to propose to me?" Yu Jing suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, sat up straight suddenly, and asked in surprise: "Why do you want to buy a new ......house?"

Peng Yichen smiled: "I think so. The air in Kyoto is getting worse and worse, and housing prices are too expensive. Now this house is still too close to the city center, and too far from Chen Jing Film Company. I'd like to buy a bigger house in the suburbs, so that when your parents or my parents come to Kyoto, we will have a place to entertain them. ”

Yu Jing nodded excitedly and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Peng Yichen saw that Yu Jing agreed, and continued to smile: "I also plan to buy a house in Shuanglang Town, Dali, we will go there for 3 or 4 months every year in the future, and there is still our Chen Jing shop......

Yu Jing watched Peng Yichen keep talking about the future life plans of the two of them, as if they were already a newlywed, and this feeling made her feel very warm and comfortable.

After Peng Yichen finished speaking, Yu Jing smiled and said, "You said so much, but you still didn't tell me when to propose to me." What's more, you didn't even show me the script of the marriage proposal. ”

Peng Yichen smiled mysteriously, "That movie is my summary and expectation of my past life, as well as my future marriage and our children. Of course, I can't show you so soon. ”

Yu Jing was shocked: "You have already begun to imagine our future children? I haven't agreed to marry you yet." ”

Peng Yichen listened to her words, jumped up from the sofa angrily, and climbed onto her with a flutter.
