Chapter 67: Those who stay and those who are about to leave
What is the quality of "Xiao Wu", Zhou Bai hasn't watched it yet, and he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to the movie now, the semester is over soon, and the final exam is the top priority, so he can't be sloppy.
The post-production work of the film is not easier than the shooting, although it is no longer dragging the whole crew to run, but it is also a thousand things, and it takes a long time to complete.
This era is not as easy as it was later, digital editing has not yet become popular in the capital, Lao Jia and Lin Xiaoling, the recording and editing editor of "Xiao Wu", soaked in the unair-conditioned hut of the new studio, and began to do post-production day and night.
"Sample Print", "Hand Edit", "Sound Tape Transfer", "Mix", "Set Bottom"... These technical terms, which have only been heard in film teaching classes, are presented in this hut one after another, and the later stages of "Xiao Wu" are carried out in a purely manual manner according to the traditional textbooks.
In the original history, the filming time of "Xiao Wu" was only 23 days, and the post-production could be completed in July, but because it took a lot of time this time, Zhou Bai believed that with Lao Jia's urine, it would definitely be endless in a few months.
Zhou Bai gave Lao Jia a few suggestions on the production of the movie "Xiao Wu".
THE FIRST IS TO MAKE THE PICTURE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE, DON'T SHOOT BLURRY, THIS TIME WITH 35MM FILM, THE CLARITY SHOULD BE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL HISTORY, ANYWAY, THERE IS NO PROBLEM ON THE BIG SCREEN.
The second is that the letters are as beautiful and accurate as possible, especially if they are to be sent to foreign exhibitions, it is a very disadvantageous factor for the translator to not even be able to understand foreigners, and many domestic films are suffering from this.
There is no problem with the big screen on the 35MM film film, it can be said that this is the advantage of the film, because the picture is impeccable in color saturation, restoration and picture smoothness, and how to play, almost all depends on the photographer, the photographer's craftsmanship is good, that is really good, not really good.
The end of the second semester of Chinese opera is almost the most tense moment, more tense than any time, and the deadline of the screening period, if you can't pass it, you can only say goodbye to Chinese opera.
Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi are both going crazy, and they are about to scratch their scalps in order to think of sketches, although they are better than them in the original history, but they still lack confidence in whether they can pass the screening period.
Don't think that they will be smooth sailing because they are big stars in their later lives, in fact, everyone is like this during their freshman year, Zhou Bai was immersed in learning almost in the second semester, but he felt a lot of pressure, and he couldn't work hard.
The current Zhang Ziyi is not the international chapter in the future, although she has established some confidence in performance, but she has not fully understood the true meaning of acting, and at the end of the semester, she and Liu Ye are under the greatest pressure.
These two people are really not good at screenwriting, so they had to find a senior brother to discuss, arrange a sketch for the two of them, and hand it over to Mr. Chang, and finally passed the test.
Passing the sketch does not mean that the performance can be passed, after the sketch is submitted, it is a rehearsal day and night, and now basically everyone in the 96 class stays in the rehearsal room, and some people even sleep at night with a quilt to come to the rehearsal room.
In the rehearsal room, the uncle from the guard room came to check every night, and in order to rehearse more, everyone fought with the uncle who came to check, and hid behind the set at night, waiting for him to leave before continuing.
The hard work paid off, and finally in the final exam, everyone in the class of 96 passed it safely, this time no student was left behind, and at least no student was expelled from the school next semester.
However, Zhou Bai still has something to worry about, that is, the eldest sister of the next class of 96, Da Meiting, did not study in the first semester of her sophomore year after her freshman year and chose to drop out.
From Zhou Bai's heart, the 18 people in class 96 are a whole, and whoever left Zhou Bai halfway felt that it was a pity, and Mei Ting was a very good person and took good care of the classmates, so it was really a pity to leave like this.
But the specific reason for dropping out of school Zhou Bai is really unclear, it should be related to the fact that he couldn't go out to film during his freshman and sophomore years, and he didn't know the specific information about what kind of drama.
With the broadcast of "Scarlet Childlike Heart", Mei Ting has a certain popularity in the entertainment industry, in fact, Mei Ting has also received many invitations to plays, but she has pushed them off one by one.
Even though it costs a lot of money for school tuition, etc., she is quite stressed, but she still abides by the school's rules.
In fact, the reason why Mei Ting dropped out of school involved some communication problems between the school and the crew, to put it bluntly, the money was not enough.
The money mentioned here is because in principle, freshmen and sophomores can't film, if the crew wants to invite students to film, in addition to getting the consent of the school, they also need to pay a sum of money to the school, and this rule has not changed until later generations.
Why is there such a situation, because this is the school's helpless move, if you don't give it all, then if you encounter a particularly good scene, if you don't let it go, you may miss the biggest opportunity, but once the opening is opened casually, everyone will want to go out to film.
So the school learned to talk to the crew about the conditions and set some difficulties, unless the crew is very sincere, otherwise they will not pay the school to let a freshman and sophomore go out to film, for others, it can only be said that they have not met such a good crew, and there is no way to blame the school.
Mei Ting received an invitation to "Northern Story" during the summer vacation, although she was attracted by the characters in it, but Mei Ting had no way to directly agree.
The crew knew the regulations of Chinese opera, so they contacted the Chinese opera performance department, did a lot of dredging work, and was full of sincerity, and finally the leader agreed to release the people, but proposed to charge a certain fee.
But when Mei Ting took the money to the leader, the leader was very dissatisfied with the amount and changed his mind on the spot, and Mei Ting could only return disappointed and gave up the idea of starring in "Northern Story".
But things are also bloody, the crew of "Northern Story" found another actress to replace Mei Ting to perform, but I didn't expect that as soon as she went out on location, the actress fell ill, and the crew had no choice but to find Mei Ting to fight the fire and invite her again.
Mei Ting applied to go out to film again, but this time the opinions in the department were very strong, either stay in school and go to school with peace of mind, or they could only drop out of school to film, there was no room for negotiation, so Mei Ting, who had a stubborn personality, chose to drop out of school and went to film "Northern Story".
In fact, if you carefully scrutinize many things, you can find that many details in them can explain some problems, in fact, you don't have to go that far, but in the end it is just this result, and it can only be said that sometimes some people who hold certain powers are so dirty and dirty.
"Northern Story" is produced by Beijing Sunny Production Company, the screenwriter is Jiang Wen, and the Xiangjiang star Zhong Zhentao was invited as the male lead, and the cast is not low at all.
If Jiang Wen wasn't in this play, Mei Ting would still be able to go out, but it was precisely because of Jiang Wen that he couldn't get by, and some people were not so polite to Jiang Wen, and they could be said to be gritting their teeth at Jiang Wen in their hearts.
