Chapter 24 Post-Production
The entire filming of "The Great Flood" is complete, and now it's time for post-production.
One of the most critical tasks in post-production is editing, and it is sad that Wu Xiang can't, but fortunately, he can learn editing through this opportunity.
This is no way, Wu Xiang, who is in the literature class himself, has not learned editing yet, and even if he does, it is at most a general idea of knowing the Tao and a theory, because you are going to be a screenwriter in the future, why do you need to be able to edit?
However, the editing of a film is extremely important, and without this work, it can only be said that it is one shot after another, and they need to be edited to become coherent and vivid.
Editing is equal to the second creation of the movie, and a movie without editing is nothing, which can be said to be extremely important, but in terms of the domestic situation in 98, even if it is a professional-level university like a film academy, they don't have a film editing major, why is this happening?
Because no one learns!
It sounds ridiculous, but it's true, it's as if the current literature class can only recruit 18 students, while the acting class can recruit 26.
But a film school is a film school, and even if there are no students, she has teachers, although this is a very strange thing.
I have to say that Wu Xiang is also a lucky guy, he not only backed the treasure house of the film school, but he also found a female editor. It should be said that he was found by a female editor.
Zhou Xinxia is a national first-class film editor and a visiting professor at the Film Academy. She took the initiative to find Wu Xiang and wanted to cut this film, of course, it seems that Mr. Mu has contributed to this, and the first thing Mr. Zhou said when he saw Wu Xiang was.
"I heard Xiao Mu say that you kid made a good film, how about I cut it for you?" Xiao Mu is naturally Mu Deyuan.
What else can Wu Xiang say, this guy immediately prepared things, and obediently became a good student, of course, Teacher Zhou also said at the beginning that he didn't want to be paid, just donate, but how could Wu Xiang do that?
"This is tuition, you should accept me as a stupid apprentice. ”
Editing is mainly based on the logic of life to form a story one by one, but this is only part of her means, and there are many ways to edit, and even two completely different shots can be fused together.
For example, after Zhang Shangwu and others were lifted by helicopter, Mr. Zhou added a short shot of the Yangtze River when it was peaceful, which symbolized that the threat of floods was temporarily gone, and the moviegoers could also breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, and the sense of rhythm came out. And Wu Xiang didn't shoot such a shot of the Yangtze River, but there is such material in the film academy.
This really opened Wu Xiang's eyes, he never knew that editing a movie was so interesting. Wu Xiang didn't even care about his main business, the course of the literature class this time, and specially got a few edited books while practicing with Teacher Zhou and learning.
Teacher Zhou was naturally relieved to see Wu Xiang so studious, and praised this guy for being smart, diligent, and not a stupid person.
The editing went well, but there were many more projects in the post-production of a film.
Dubbing, this is simple, the main difficulty is to do some background effects, but there is Bayi Factory, they are very experienced.
Movie special effects, this is not necessary, and it's not that Wu Xiang doesn't want to do it, but now the domestic level is still a lot worse than Hollywood, and the textbooks learned by the students of the Animation Academy are old and can't be done. But fortunately, this film is mainly a lot of real scenes, and the special effects and everything can only be done by editing.
As for the soundtrack of the movie, now it seems that we can only hope for the resources of Bayi Factory, no way, Wu Xiang has no research in this area, and he doesn't know the masters in this area, it is better to let Bayi Factory do it, people at least have experience.
Although it is not perfect, it can only be like this, Wu Xiang's main focus now is to learn editing at school, and other post-production work is going on at the same time, so this guy still has to eat in the cafeteria.
"You kid have to talk about it, how did you come up with so many theories? I haven't heard of those things, and why do you kid do this, all kinds of strange tricks, you kid has filmed before?"
"That's it!" At the same time, of course, there are 307 friends.
Faced with such an upright meal, Wu Xiang admitted it, but this question, Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Can I brag?"
"Poof!" a few of them squirted right away, "! Dinner! You kid be serious." ”
"The reason why I say this is because if I say it seriously, you will call me bragging!" Wu Xiang is very helpless.
Everyone was gone, "Okay, you can blow it." ”
Wu Xiang smiled and said: "Actually, Brother Bo, I can answer this question in one sentence, I just like movies." ”
"Cut!" the crowd was dissatisfied.
"I know you're not satisfied. Wu Xiang continued to smile and said: "My likes are different from others, I have been watching movies since I was a child, I have a video recorder at home, I am a gold member of our video rental shop, even if I am in school, I spend at least two hours watching movies every day, watching all the films I can find, there are many I have even watched many multi-faceted, and there are even many level three, and even accidentally misplaced A movies by the shopkeeper, hehehehe......"
"Ha Lu haha......" Everyone laughed when he said this, but Huang Yubo's eyes changed a little at this time, and he already knew the answer.
"Then are you still watching it now?" Hao Yi suddenly asked.
"Look, maybe some of you don't know what to say, our film school has a lot of films that I couldn't find before, hehe, fortunately, my English is not bad, but other languages can only listen to that asynchronous translation, it's painful. Wu Xiang is talking about the film academy's reference room, where there are a large number of film stocks, but these stocks are excellent films from all over the world, most of them are artistic, very classic, but they are also enough.
Wu Xiang said it with a smile, but Huang Yubo stopped laughing, because he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be working hard enough and not ......
"Wu Xiang, someone is looking for you!" a girl suddenly interrupted Wu Xiang's bragging.
As soon as he heard this voice, Wu Xiang was shocked, because this was none other than Huang Yi's classmate. Recently, he has been filming by himself, and people don't wash his clothes anymore, so I haven't looked at her for a long time.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Wu Xiang still misses others a little bit in his heart.
"No, no, no......" Wu Xiang wanted to tell himself that he couldn't have a relationship with children now, besides, Huang Yi's body shape, the momentum of being able to run a horse on his fists, and ......
"What are you not doing, you?" Huang Yi is so angry, what is Wu Xiang, this bastard thinking?
"No, it's nothing, that, then who's looking for me?" Wu Xiang hurriedly got rid of his embarrassment.
"How do I know Lu Dao!" Huang just didn't want to talk to Wu Xiang, so he led the way directly.
Actually, Huang Yi is also depressed, I don't know what's wrong with Lu Dao today, I met someone in school, that guy asked everyone when he saw him, but many people thought he was suspicious and didn't dare to say anything, she didn't want to deal with it, but people started singing to her.
“…… Run forward, meet the cold eyes and sneer......"
This voice almost didn't scare Huang Yi out of illness, and sure enough, this person is a little mentally ill to walk together, and he must be looking for Wu Xiang's guy.
But now that people say that they want to meet the author of this song, Huang Yi has the mentality of treating diseases and saving people at this time to help. To be honest, Huang Yi didn't want to see Wu Xiang, nothing else, let's just say before, Huang Yi wanted to try it when she was recruiting actors, her hometown was also a disaster-stricken area, she didn't consider other films, but she really wanted to participate in this film, but she couldn't erase this face.
At the beginning, Huang Yi went to Wu Xiang's stall, but as soon as she saw Wen Zhengrong and Zhang Yanyan going up, she immediately retreated. Huang Yi's mind was, 'I can't let other girls see that I am kind to this bastard Wu Xiang!'
"Hey, who are you?" Out of the cafeteria, as soon as Wu Xiang saw the person in front of him, he felt very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who this guy was for a while.
