"This scene can't be deleted, if the foreshadowing is deleted, it won't be enough, auntie, accept it. ”

"Keep this, I finally took it, it took us more than half a day, and it took more than 20 repeated shots to shoot it, so let's keep it. ”

"This one is really indispensable, if it is missing, the emotional expression will not be complete. ”

Since the beginning of the editing work, Chen Jiashang and Lin An have started to fight, but judging from the scene, Chen Jiashang is obviously in a weak place, and Chen Jiashang has to keep "pleading" with her for Lin An's "ruthlessness", hoping to keep as many shots as possible.

"This is redundant, Director Chen, this long shot of you is one minute, it is too long, and it has little impact on the main plot, but it will drag down the narrative rhythm if you keep it. ”

"No, this similar shot is already there, and another one doesn't have no effect, but it will increase the audience's doubts and can't be kept. ”

"This can be kept, but it should be shortened, ten seconds is enough, and the main dialogue is complete. ”

"You're right, this can be kept, this shot is good, it's no problem to keep it. ”

Lin An couldn't laugh or cry, but she was already rich in experience as an editor, and she knew what shots could be kept and what shots could not be kept, so she didn't be afraid because of Chen Jiashang, and their discussions in the workplace were always related to the editing of the movie.

On the other hand, Zhou Bai worked with Chen Xunqi to constantly adjust the soundtrack work, one by one the samples came out, those who were satisfied stayed, those who were not satisfied adjusted and gave up.

"The background music of the guitar is a bit too high-pitched, and we have to take into account the emotions of the audience, and if we put it in, it doesn't fit the plot of the movie, and it will affect the tone of the movie. After Zhou Bai listened, he vetoed it.

"I'll lower the key, adjust it in a gentle direction to see if it's okay, the accompaniment is wonderful, and I think it's okay to put it in the background music. Chen Xunqi is also very serious in his work.

"Then try again?"

"It's not good, it's too messy, the sounds of so many instruments are mixed together, but it feels like it's messy, let's get rid of this, the mix is good, but there are too many of them, it sounds messy. ”

"I think this paragraph can be kept, you see that the mood of the characters in the movie is also disturbed, which fits the mood of the characters, although there is chaos, but it is not the kind of noise, but it can be combined with the development of the plot. ”

"No, our music suddenly appears like this, it will make the audience get out of it, the camera has gone in a compact direction, at this time the music can be a little excited, or a little sad, but not out of the main key. ”

Post-production work is not a simple job, even if it is a small piece of music, it must be carefully selected, a simple shot editing, it has to be discussed for a long time and carefully measured, so even if Chen Xunqi and Lin An are already familiar, the progress of the work is not much faster.

"I can understand your feelings, this Zhou Sheng's requirements for the quality of the movie are really too high, no wonder the shooting alone is close to three months, if it is in Xiangjiang, it will be done in a month and a half. "The day's work is done," Lin An sighed.

"He does have high requirements for films, the script of this movie is very good, if I follow my previous shooting, it can basically be shot quickly, but he constantly asks for higher quality when shooting, and light film spends a lot of money. Chen Jiashang said as he sat on a chair.

"At our rate, it will take at least a month or two to finish, no wonder there is such a long material, it turns out that this boss is different from others. Lin An was also very tired, and he had worked all day, and it was already late at night.

"It's close to three months of filming, Zhou Sheng feels that it's a bit too fast, if it weren't for the fact that there are real restrictions on funds, I think he would at least let the crew shoot for another month. Chen Jiashang laughed, recalling the filming of the crew, at that time, he and Zhou Bai also filmed from day to night, and sometimes he would be pulled up to discuss in the middle of the night.

"Now there are fewer jobs in Xiangjiang, but there are many job opportunities in the mainland, although there are not so many movies, but there are really a lot of TV series, and some of the prices offered are really good, or you will simply develop in the mainland in the future." Chen An teased.

"I'm testing the water now, the financial turmoil has hit Xiangjiang Films very hard, in the past, we had a lot of movies invested by the boss over there, you see how many film companies have closed down in the past two years, I think the next few years, there will be a slow decline, this situation is irreversible. Chen Jiashang's eyes flickered, and then sighed, Xiangjiang movies are now cooking oil on fire, and they look good, but they are actually declining.

"That's right, I didn't worry about not having a job before, but now it's a cut of one, I heard that the salary of stars has reached twenty or thirty million, seeing that the salary of stars is getting higher and higher, but the box office is getting less and less, and now even Southeast Asia is the world of Hollywood movies. Lin An said.

"So in the future, we must rely on the mainland market, but if the mainland film market is still like this, then Xiangjiang films will definitely hit the streets, and a large number of filmmakers will soon be unemployed, and now many people have turned to making TV series, but the mainland film market has not improved, and the box office of tens of millions is not seen, and those who make movies are about to starve to death. Chen Jiashang nodded, he couldn't live anymore when he made movies.

"Is the box office in the mainland also very low? How can the market of more than one billion people become so bad?" Lin An asked puzzled.

"I discussed with Zhou Sheng, the reason why this is the case is because the quality of the movie is not good, the production techniques are too rigid, and it is all literary films, plus piracy is rampant, the audience does not like to go into the cinema to watch movies, and many of them are filmed by state-owned units, and the movie narratives they shoot are all carved out of the same mold, and there is a vicious circle. Chen Jiashang said with a wry smile.

"Zhou Sheng invested so much money into this movie, isn't it very likely that he will lose money?" Lin An was stunned for a moment, thinking of the investment of more than 10 million yuan in this movie, it must be difficult to recover the investment.

"Who says it's not, even if the quality of this movie is very good, it's a very good story, but in the face of such a market, I don't think it's possible to recover the cost, I hope Zhou Sheng won't be hit too hard, I think Zhou Sheng is a good filmmaker, if he is disheartened, it will be a special pity. The expression on Chen Jiashang's face was squeezed, he saw his enthusiasm for movies from Zhou Bai, and I hope he doesn't lose too much.

"I don't think it's necessarily, Zhou Sheng won the actor at such a young age, and now he invests in making movies, maybe he can create a miracle. By the way, it's the Golden Rooster Award in a few days, don't you have to participate?" Lin An shook her head, although she hadn't known her for a long time, she always felt that Zhou Bai was different, remembering that Zhou Bai came over today to say that he was going to participate in the film festival, she asked about Chen Jiashang.

"I don't need it, but I received an invitation, but I think it's still in the future, I still have to keep an eye on the post-work, Zhou Sheng won the award last year, and he went to the nomination this year. ”

"Do you think Zhou Sheng can win the award?"

"It's hard to say, I'm not familiar with mainland film festivals, but if it's at the Academy Awards, I think it's okay. ”
