Forty minutes later, the game ended. The final result was as Zhang Ran expected, Josh Trunk lost 0:5 to Jason Reitman and did not score a point.

So far, the Clip Contest has been played seven rounds, with Jason Reitman winning seven rounds, all seven of which are 5-0. Jason Reitman is like being sheltered by Athena, the goddess of victory, and on this stage, he is invincible.

At that moment, the crowd at ucaL erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and a tall white man walked up the stage. He has a combed hair, a tall figure, and a resolute face, which is none other than Zhang Ran's friend Neil Blomkamp.

'Neil Blomkamp is finally out and he's our last hope!'

"Neil just shot a commercial for Toyota, which is said to be very well received by the industry, and I hope he can win!"

"Lin Yibin can't compete, now I can only rely on him, I hope he can defend the dignity of our school!"

Zhang Ran looked at Neil on the stage, frowning slightly, he naturally hoped that his friend could win, but it was very difficult to win Jason with Neil's current strength, and Neil would probably have to wait until "District 9" came out to beat Jason in editing.

"Huang Ming, this is the strongest player in our school, can he win against Jason Reitman?" Bai Yunfei looked at Neil on the stage and asked with some concern.

'It's probably a little hard, they've played a couple of times and Neil hasn't won once. I can't say, it's important to edit the state of the game, let's see how it plays!"

On stage, Neil nodded at Jason Reitman, who responded with a smile. We are old acquaintances, and we have competed four times, but Jason won all four times.

After Neil sat down in the contestants' seats, the timer was reset to zero, and the clips were quickly sent to the two of them.

"Let's go!"

As the judges' command sounded, the competition officially began.

Film film editing, simply put, is to cut the film, remove the excess parts, and then connect the required shots together to synthesize a film.

Film film editing is mainly done by the editing machine, which consists of three parts, the winding machine, the film splicing machine and the film viewing machine. The film winder is to use a crank handle to wind a film back and forth; the splicer is to align the two sections of film that need to be connected, and press them together with glue and heating to connect the two sections of film; the film viewer is essentially a small projector, and the editor rotates the film by hand, and in this process, the screen will display the enlarged picture, and let the editor see the movement of the picture. The main purpose of using hand crank is to make it easier for editors to view the picture at the speed they need and to make it easier for them to choose the exact editing point.

However, the hand-crank cannot watch the film at the normal playback speed of the film, so there is also a special projector on the editor to facilitate the editor to view the cut material from the larger screen, so as to see if any important details are missing and whether the rhythm of the cut is correct.

In the past two years, with the development of digital technology, there has been a technology called digital intermediate, which can convert the film into digital format and carry out post-production work such as editing, special effects, and color grading in the computer; a few years later, with the rise of digital cameras, the shots shot are directly in digital format, and the shot editor can complete the initial cut that night.

After reading the storyboard of the movie, Neil played the film material on the projector, thought for a minute, and then lay on the editing table, quickly shook the film watcher, and selected the best editing point as quickly as possible.

More than 20 minutes later, Neil took the lead in editing, strode to the middle of the stage, smiled and pressed his buzzer, which took 25 minutes and 55 seconds.

Although it was only a 1-0 lead, it was the first time that ucaL took the lead in the competition today, and the students of ucaL cheered wildly as if they had won the final victory, and the blue in the entire auditorium boiled as if there had been a tsunami.

The USC students were relatively calm, leading 1-0 temporarily, Jason and Neil compared four times, won all four times, there is nothing to worry about, Jason will definitely reverse.

Jason also finished editing quickly, pressing the buzzer in 26 minutes and 40 seconds.

Immediately after the judges announced the results of the second competition, Neil's film was 3 minutes and 2 seconds, and Jason's film was 3 minutes and 1 second, and Jason moved back to the first game, and the total score became 1:1.

The UCAL students were silent, all extremely depressed, and finally a little hopeful, which made Jason extinguish again, and the USC students let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers, this result had long been expected by them, Jason was the strongest.

At the beginning of the third competition, the lights in the auditorium went out and the film edited by the two began to play on the screen.

The content of the film is particularly bizarre, the protagonist is a girl, her menstrual period is coming, and blood is dripping down her legs as she walks, dripping all the way. Later, the blood flowed more and more, and it was like hiding a faucet in her skirt.

Finally, when the girl crossed a sewer mouth on the road, which was usually covered with a manhole cover, a worker probed through the hole. Then, a waterfall of blood poured out of the girl's skirt and poured the workers on their heads and faces.

The short film is both quirky and disgusting, and the final ending drew laughter from the audience. Of course, some girls felt that the film was insulting to women, and they booed the film hard.

The content of the film is the same, the difference in length is only one second, and ordinary viewers can't see the difference, but Zhang Ran's face changed greatly, and he spit out a few words with difficulty: "It's over, Neil lost!"

Huang Lei didn't see the difference, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Ran sighed: "I thought that there might be a difference in the choice of shots between the two, or they adopted editing techniques such as jump cuts, but the shots they edited were exactly the same, and the editing points were exactly the same, but the length was one second apart, 24 frames per second, which means that Neil's film had 24 frames more." In Europe, it might make no difference, but in Hollywood, Neil is a complete fiasco!"

Huang Lei was taken aback: "The shots of Hollywood movies are accurate to the frame, this is too exaggerated, right?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Hollywood movie editing advocates cutting the first frame, that is, editing from the frame where the characters make movements and expressions, such as the scene of punching and beating people, and editing from the moment the fist is about to swing, and one frame can be saved when editing." Therefore, Hollywood movies are faster than European movies and our domestic films. ”

Huang Lei thought about it and nodded thoughtfully.

On the stage, the three judges made the final judgment according to the content of the film.

The first referee gave his choice: "Jason wins!"

The total score was 1:2, and the audience at the scene became nervous, some students began to pray, and some were even timid, even covering their ears. The air at the scene was tense, no one spoke, only countless violently beating heartbeats, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

The second judge gave his verdict: "Jason's editing is better!"

The third judge gave the final verdict: "My vote is for Jason!"

"Win, win!"

The USC students hugged each other as if they had won an Oscar, and the crazy applause rang out like a tide, and all kinds of cheers came one after another.

The students of ucaL fell into a deep silence, and the strongest player, Neil, lost, and the defeat of ucaL was decided.

It's okay to lose to USC in the auditorium of his school, the key is that he has only won one game after eight games so far, which is undoubtedly a miserable fiasco.

Absolute shame on ucLa!

Bai Yunfei didn't expect that the strongest master in his school would lose so badly, and his expression was very depressed: "Huang Ming, is Neil the most powerful person in our school, isn't there a more powerful master?"

"If Lin Yibin can compete, he can win Jason, but unfortunately he has graduated for three years and can't compete. The most powerful student in the next few classes after him was Neil, and now that Neil has lost, there is no possibility of winning this year. Speaking of this, the Nike boy sighed gloomily.

Another student also sighed: "Jason grew up on the set, it's too powerful, if it weren't for our Lin Yibin, Jason would have risen a long time ago, and now Lin Yibin can't compete, no one can suppress him." Not only will he lose this year, but Jason will be able to compete next year, and I'm afraid there will be no hope of winning next year. There's no way, this is life, maybe when Josh Trunk grows up, he can win it back, but I'm afraid we're not in school at that time. ”

The people around were sighing, and the thought of being suppressed and ridiculed by USC in the next few years made everyone feel very aggrieved.

Next to Zhang Ran and them, a chubby boy looked depressed, he looked at Jason who was smiling on the stage, and then looked at the cheering USC students, and said indignantly: "Damn, if only Robin was here, he can always shut up the USC bastards!"

"I heard that Robin has returned to China, and he will definitely not show up!"

"Even if Robin is here, it's useless, he just has more ghost ideas, and his skills can't compare to Neil. Last year, he lost to Jason, a 5:0 loss! Hey, this year is completely hopeless!"

The fat boy was very unconvinced, but he also knew that this year was indeed hopeless, so he scolded "damn it" fiercely, and his expression became extremely depressed.

Zhang Ran originally just wanted to see the excitement, but when he heard these words, a certain power in his heart was stimulated, as if there was a fire burning, making his blood boil. He suddenly laughed, after today's game, he will be scolded by the people of USC again, my predecessor Zhang Ran likes this feeling, but I really don't like it!

However, if being scolded by your opponent is an achievement, then make the spitting more violent!

Zhang Ran looked at Huang Lei and Sun Li, and said solemnly: "Brother Lei, Sister Li, it's about the dignity of your alma mater, you can't just watch it like this, I want to go on stage to compete, you wait for me a little longer, is it okay?"

Huang Lei patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and encouraged: "Go ahead, we are waiting for you here! This is the first time I have seen such a competition, it is very exciting! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't qualify, I would have liked to go up and have a competition!"

Sun Li also said: "Go, let's cheer you on, let these Americans know how powerful we Chinese are!"
