When the video finishes, the lights come back on.

Raising his hand and applauding, Wang Ran turned his head to look at his wife and exchanged glances with each other.

Then, he turned to Tang Jiayi and said briskly: "This version is better than my own cut, let's use it for the public screening!"

The latter's face remained unchanged, but he was also secretly relieved in his heart. The couple are afraid that she, an investor, will toss around, and she herself is also worried that the other party will make a petty boycott, if this causes the movie to be messed up and lose money, Tang Jiayi's face as the proprietress can't be said, and she will become the laughing stock of the entire film industry, and she will inevitably be ridiculed for several years.

A year ago, she happened to hear that there was such a "two-dimensional youth film that does not abort and does not bleed", and she was interested, and she found a way to find a script to read it. Originally, she was just out of curiosity, but later found out that such a film is very suitable for GYZ - as a campus youth film, a large number of JK/DK school uniforms, soft girl private clothes, Lo clothes, and COS clothes appear in "Flash Girl", which highly overlaps with the latter's business scope.

JK is an abbreviation of the Japanese romanized pronunciation Jyoshi Koukousei, which means female high school students, and the corresponding male high school students are abbreviated as DK. The so-called JK school uniform is the sailor uniform and suit skirt worn by female middle school students in the island country, while the DK uniform of the boys is a small suit and a placket uniform (Chinese name Xuelan, stand-up collar and placket button, derived from the 19th century Prussian military uniform). As for the soft girl's private clothes and Lo clothes, they also come from the fashion concept of the island country, the former is a generic name for women's fashion in a cute and girlish style, sweet and cute style, and the whole is more inclined to daily wear;

Because of the long-term rendering of roaming movies and television in the island country, these costumes have also been introduced to China and have a considerable audience among young people. Among them, the handsome men and cute Japanese school uniforms have achieved an overwhelming advantage in the face of fat and old-fashioned sports school uniforms, which are not only gradually popularized in middle schools around the country, but also further enter the film and television circle, becoming the standard props for campus idol dramas and youth films.

Then, this project was bought by Tang Jiayi from the original production company An Le and entrusted to Bee Pictures to produce on her behalf, and the family sent the main designer to join the costume team to deeply customize the appearance costumes, and the second station provided full publicity support for the film, and paid close attention to this project from the preparatory stage, trying to attract the attention of the majority of the house.

Ms. Tang became the de facto "producer", and she was naturally responsible for the final quality and effect of the film, which is why she has the current new version.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the lady bowed slightly, planning to say a few words to ease the atmosphere: "Actually, Sister Jingjing's script and Brother Wang's director are very good, and the new version is just picking up the missing and making small repairs, which I believe the two of you can also see." So ......"

After a slight pause to attract attention, she picked up the conversation: "I suggest that the final version just hang Director Wang's name directly, so that it ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by two guests, Bao Jingjing hurriedly said, "No", and Wang Ran also said, "No!"

There is indeed no shortage of impostors in the circle and the appropriation of other people's achievements and honors, and the problem of gunmen in the screenwriting circle is even more well-known - too many investors lack the ability to appreciate scripts, and only know how to find famous screenwriters to buy books, and the latter will "outsource" the task to newcomers at a low price. However, the two people in front of them have strong literary and youthful feelings, but they are not good at this mouthful, and they refuse at the next time.

The proposal was rejected, Tang Jiayi was not annoyed, and waved her hand indifferently, "If you don't want to, forget it, that guy doesn't want to sign it, and he originally thought that the fertilizer water would not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

Bao Jingjing's eyes rolled, he sat up straight and asked curiously: "By the way, this version has a bit of an island country anime flavor, is that editor a foreign aid you found from the island country?"

The lady shook her head gracefully, "No, I'm not looking for a foreigner." ”

"Then I can't guess," said the former, a little deflated, and threw himself back in his chair, turning his head to look at his husband, "what do you think?

One of the essential skills of a director is to watch a lot of films, broaden his horizons by watching a lot, and learn from his teachers with the help of meticulous film pulling (frame-by-frame analysis), so as to ensure that his skills can keep up with the trend and keep pace with the times. After watching a lot and gradually accumulating experience, sometimes you can guess who the creator is based on the details of the technique.

Wang Ran shook his head, "This person's editing techniques are very mature and orthodox, all of them are textbook-style treatments, I can't tell that it's that famous artist." ”

Speaking of this, he blinked and handed the mobile phone in his palm to his wife, "If you really want me to say, I think it should be the editor of 'The Wandering Earth', there is not a single superfluous frame, such a strong obsessive-compulsive disorder I have only seen in the trailer of 'Wandering' before." ”

With a digital workbench, anyone can work on every frame, but few editors do. As for the reason, it is natural that the input-output ratio is too low to be accounted for. If the film is 120 minutes long, the frame rate is as high as 170,000, and if you include the footage that is several times the length of the feature film, the total is in the millions. With so many of them, it's obviously not realistic to operate frame by frame. Usually only special effects shots are accurate to the frame – the money is calculated by frame in post, and the fewer frames, the more money is saved.

However, the editing of "The Wandering Earth" is an exception, not only the special effects shots are cut frame by frame, but also the ordinary shots are also processed in the same way, which naturally makes the industry full of curiosity about its editing team, and everyone wants to know how many editors they used to complete such a huge project. However, the crew was silent about this, and a mask icon was directly placed in the editor column on the staff list, which was also not good.

Looking at the movie he made with his own eyes, Wang Ran soon found that there was an abnormality, and the length of many familiar shots had slight changes, and when he took out his mobile phone and turned on the stopwatch, this intuition was immediately confirmed.

Looking at the two women, Director Wang said with fascination: "This editor is simply talented!" 'Wandering' was cut into a space opera by him, and 'Flash Shao' was cut into a ghost animal film by him. He used supplementary frames to adjust the movements of the characters, which not only made the changes in the picture match the rhythm of the music, but also made the two-dimensional atmosphere on the characters stronger, which can be said to be a stroke of genius!"

It's a pity that such a god man didn't have the opportunity to see him, which is really regrettable. ”

Tang Jiayi snickered in her heart, and said with relief: "There will always be a chance in the future, I just hope you won't be too surprised at that time." ”

"What's so surprising?" Bao Whale laughed when she heard this, picked up her mobile phone to open the second station client, and handed it to her husband with a few clicks, "Look at this!"

Wang Ran looked down at the screen, then looked up at Tang Jiayi with some surprise, and then clicked play.

The latter was still wondering, but when the cheerful prelude to "Flight Between the Stars" sounded, she instantly understood what the two were watching.

This song is the theme song and important episode of the 17th episode of the island country's well-known animation "Macross F", in the plot, the cosmic singer Lanka Lee has become popular all over the universe with this song, and even the ongoing war has been temporarily suspended because of her singing. Because of the light melody and super cuteness, this song was also popular in those years and was loved by early dancers. As a member of the latter, Tang Jiayi also danced the house dance of this song back then.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Ran nodded knowingly, and looked up at Ms. Tang, "That mysterious editor is your husband, right?"

The synopsis of this video on the mobile phone is clearly written, the special effects editing is Atletico Madrid, and its style can vaguely see familiar shadows.

Seeing that the little secret was exposed, Tang Jiayi no longer concealed it, nodded and admitted: "It's indeed him." ”

Boss Ma has a plug-in that ordinary people don't have, and he can download a large number of videos into his brain in batches, with the help of E7U and the powerful computing power of the external supercomputer, he can analyze and compare the correlation frame by frame, and then "memorize 50,000 films, and cut them if he can't make films" is not a strange thing.

However, he has little interest in the identity of producer, director, and editor, and his editing skills have never been useful. If it weren't for the huge investment in "The Wandering Earth", this ability might still be buried, just like his other skills. But there are one and two, and then he received the task of re-editing "Flash Girl".

"Hehe, if I hadn't heard this song, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing. Oops, it's all black history back then!"

"I think it's okay, you dance well," Bao Jingjing continued, "I'm your big fan, and I've been following you since the beginning!

I also asked him this question, and he said that he didn't want to distract the audience and didn't want to be scolded. After all, there are too many outsiders who have entered the film and television industry in recent years, and the word 'crossover' is about to be broken by them. If there is another 'IT company boss who is not doing his job as a producer and cuts the film himself', the audience is likely to have a preconceived antipathy. Simply leave the name and let everyone guess, the effect may be better. Sister Jingjing, please tell me something, don't reveal this matter first, okay?"

"No problem!" The female screenwriter readily agreed without thinking about it, not only that, but she also turned her head to look at her husband and gave the latter a "don't talk nonsense" look.

Since she talked about "The Wandering Earth", she took the opportunity to ask: "Jiayi, how much is the overseas box office of 'Wandering' now?"

The domestic box office is very easy to check, and you can know that the actual box office has exceeded 1.4 billion with a casual search, and the overseas box office will be a lot of trouble.

"Not much," Tang Jiayi pouted, "It's just over 10 million dollars." ”

Hearing this, the reactions of the Wang family and his wife were different, the wife exclaimed, "So little?", and the husband asked rhetorically, "So much?"

Turning to look at her husband, Bao Jingjing asked, "What?"

The overseas box office of Hollywood blockbusters is often hundreds of millions of dollars, but domestic films in recent years can only revolve at a low level of several hundred or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and no film has ever been able to replicate the success of classic kung fu films such as "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"It's already very good, as far as I know, 'Wandering' takes the screening route overseas, and the number of theaters is limited. It's really not easy to get a box office of tens of millions like this," Speaking of which, Wang Ran glanced at Tang Jiayi, "Speaking of which, 'Wandering' is also a good time to catch up, this year's summer file is obviously a little weak, American audiences' interest in sequel movies seems to be declining, and the attraction of low-cost comedies and traffic stars to domestic audiences is also declining, and the emergence of 'Wandering' is also at the right time." Of course, there should also be credit for the overseas influence of bees, I remember that the overseas version of the poster seems to put Atletico in the middle?"

"There is such a thing," Tang Jiayi nodded, "Crooked nuts have face blindness to Asian faces, and familiar actors are more acceptable." ”

Hearing the two of them talk about Atletico Madrid, Bao Jingjing couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, what about others, are you on a business trip?"

"Well, it's true that I'm on a business trip," Tang Jiayi nodded, "and it also has something to do with our movie." ”

"Huh?" these words successfully aroused the interest of the Wang family and his wife, and they turned their heads to look at her.

"According to the special notice issued by the State Administration last month to regulate on-demand cinema lines, all on-demand cinemas and on-demand cinemas must complete compliance rectification within 30 days, and then apply for special screening and distribution licenses from different levels of management departments. Bee Star Shadow was trying to figure out how to operate the first inter-provincial on-demand theater license, and then the guy was called to the platform to endorse. ”

"I see," as soon as he said this, the two members of the Wang family understood. On-demand cinemas are somewhat like upgraded video halls in the Internet era, with smaller auditoriums and more flexible projections, which are ideal for literary films and niche films like "Flash Girl".

Prior to this, tens of thousands of on-demand theaters appeared across the country, but because of the dispute between the jurisdiction of the cultural department and the State Administration of Film, this area has always been in a gray area, and most of the films screened are unauthorized European-level films, which can rarely bring tangible benefits to domestic filmmakers. Now that the General Administration has finally taken jurisdiction and included this part in the film distribution and screening link, it should be able to bring a little turn for the literary film and niche film market.

Bee's Starry Sky/Deep Space Cinema Line originally had a crowdfunding on-demand business, but due to legal risks, it did not officially set foot in the "movie bar/movie café" industry, and only sold equipment and did not open stores. Now that the policy is finally clear, they naturally can't bear it, and immediately wielded the golden yuan stick to slaughter into this field. The traditional cinema pattern has been set, but the on-demand cinema is a blue ocean, and it is a good time to compete for hegemony, not to mention that the personalized on-demand mode is also more suitable for the Internet than centralized screening, with a large number of video resources and users' bees.
