In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

At the end of September, autumn is getting cooler.

Following the production team of "Infinite Challenge", Shen Zhengyuan came out of an unknown homestay in the deep mountains and old forests where even the signal came and went, and sorted out the shooting materials of the documentary. Almost at the same time, two other groups of followers also completed the filming of the documentary.

"Wouldn't that be too short?"

The two days and nights of getting along made Shen Zhengyuan and Kim Tae-ho closer.

Looking at Shen Zhengyuan, who had started to pack up his shooting equipment early, Kim Tae-ho couldn't help but ask. Although he is not a professional documentary director, from the perspective of a variety show director, he also feels that the filming time of Shen Zhengyuan's documentary is too short.

If there are some special circumstances, it is not impossible to shoot for more than a year, and the documentary film "The Sound of Cowbell" was filmed for about three years.

Three years compared to two days of shooting, no matter how you look at it, it's unsettling.

"Do you want to shoot a few more days? ”

The actor in the documentary asked for a few more days to shoot, which is the first time.

"It's enough. In fact, Shen Zhengyuan didn't expect to end the filming work so early, after all, according to his original plan, he followed "Infinite Challenge" for ten days and half a month to collect materials. It's just that he didn't expect Jung Hyung-dun and Yoo Jae-seok to be so powerful, or it should be said that the shooting of the 400-issue special has a very special meaning for the members of "Infinite Challenge" themselves.

Therefore, there is no need for Shen Zhengyuan's deliberate guidance or waiting, and all kinds of perceptual thoughts and conversations continue to emerge during the recording of the program.

The difficulty in filming a character documentary lies in how to go deep into the hearts of the interviews and touch the world in their hearts. And the 400-issue special just provided such a good time for Shen Zhengyuan, and Liu Jae-seok and Zheng Hyung-dun had all the things going wrong along the way, but they smoothly entered the relationship and were able to open their hearts and talk about their inner world.

Shen Zhengyuan, the filmmaker, said so, and Kim Tae-ho didn't say anything more, just nodded and thought about it and said: "Tell me after the documentary is cut, and I'll let the members mention it on the show when the time comes." ”

"Thank you so much, Director Kim Tae-ho. ”

Kim Tae-ho is willing to let the members of "Infinite Challenge" advertise for Shen Jung-won's documentary, and he naturally can't ask for it. After all, the popularity of this national variety show is not covered, and with them advertising, the audience's expectations for documentaries will definitely rise a lot.

"I don't need to thank you, Shen Zhengyuan, you originally filmed our documentary "Infinite Challenge", and I am still one of the actors, and it is a matter of course to advertise. ”

Kim Tae-ho said it easily, but if you think about the advertising space before and after the show, you can know how worthwhile this advertising campaign is.

This is propaganda that money may not be able to buy.

For a moment, Shen Zhengyuan seemed to see the popularity flying in the sky waving at him.

……

At night.

The night sky is dyed with ink.

Al Jazeera's studio is still brightly lit.

Although all the material for the documentary has been exported, it will take a long time to make these trivial footage clips into a complete documentary.

However, the first thing Shen Zhengyuan had to do was to cut out a documentary trailer that was only about fifteen seconds long. This is Kim Tae-ho's initiative to propose, and the trailer of the documentary is promoted at the end of "Infinite Challenge", and some singer idols' song MVs are usually placed in this position, which can be seen from this point that Kim Tae-ho himself is also very concerned about the documentary.

"President, is this okay?"

In the editing room, it is still intern Li Tong who works for Shen Zhengyuan.

Al Jazeera is short of talent, and even some editors are short of manpower, so there is no need to test editing skills too much in ordinary news reports and the like.

But it pales in comparison to a film with very strict editing requirements like a documentary, and the reason why Li Tong was chosen to do the editing of the "Infinite Challenge" documentary is that in addition to the previous "Please Refrigerator", the two have already cooperated with some tacit understanding, and they feel that the other party can cut out the work according to their own ideas.

In addition, Al Jazeera really can't pick out any too eye-catching post-production staff, and it will take a while to change someone else to cut it.

"Almost, the lens of this part is brighter, and the angle is a close-up of the front. ”

The fifteen-second documentary trailer does not need to be too coherent, and it is completed by simply picking out a few clips from the material.

Shen Zhengyuan glanced at the content of the trailer and simply picked out a few small faults, although he himself did not have any experience in shooting documentaries, but he had the foundation of [documentary shooting skills], and his performance was not too layman.

It's just that the trailer is one thing, and when the actual editing of the finished product comes to another story.

"It's not good here, the beginning is too abrupt, and it's not good for the audience's emotional investment......"

"Wait a minute, cut this clip, Park Myung-so's appearance is too deliberate, not like what a documentary should look like, like acting. ”

"Pause, cut out this part, here Liu Zaishi's reaction is repeated with the previous one. ”

"Kim Tae-ho's words are a bit too much, so I will stop here and replace them with the content of the interview. ”

Late at night, twelve o'clock.

In the editing room, the documentary of "Infinite Challenge" was able to complete the editing of the opening part.

"President. ”

The editing of the documentary did not go well, so that Li Tong's movements began to become cautious, and every time he went under the knife, he would turn his head to Shen Zhengyuan and ask again and again, for fear that this part of the content would be re-pushed because of which mistake.

Just stopped and cut like this, and Li Tong, who was in front of the computer, couldn't hold it anymore.

"It's past twelve o'clock. Li Tong reminded Shen Zhengyuan, who was standing behind him, in a cautious and cautious tone.

"Why don't we have a cup of coffee first and take a break before we come back?" He didn't dare to directly express the idea of wanting to get off work, so he could only euphemistically request a cup of coffee.

"It's so late?"

has been concentrating on the editing of the documentary, Shen Zhengyuan didn't expect that it was late at night, rubbed the ends of his temples, and looked at the results cut out on the computer in less than ten minutes. Judging from the results, it is obviously a bit delusional to cut the documentary in one day, not to mention that the soundtrack in the later stage is also a big problem.

"Since it's already so late, then you can go back first, sorry for taking up so much of your time. Seeing this, Shen Zhengyuan no longer insisted on it, and it would be even more inefficient to let Li Tong continue to make it like this.

"Not at all, President, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Faced with the difficult time to get off work, Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, he still shouted loyally.

"Alright, you can go back and get some rest. ”

"Yes, President, then I'll go first. Nodding, Li Tong couldn't wait to get up from his position, rubbing his sore neck, but turned his head to see that Shen Zhengyuan didn't want to leave at all: "What about you, president?"

"I, I'll stay in the editing room for a while. ”

Seeing the back of Li Tong leaving in a hurry, Shen Zhengyuan turned his head, sat down in his previous position, manipulated the mouse to click the play button, and looked at the results that had been cut out all night.

But there is no joy in the face of results in my heart.

"What's wrong?"
