Chapter Thirty-Six: The Grandmaster of the Music World

"When will "A Chinese Ghost Story" be released?"

In the office of the film studio, Chen Jialuo and other main creative staff are holding a regular meeting for "A Chinese Ghost Story". The average crew will be fine after the film is finished, but they will need to continue to work on things like post-production.

When a movie is finished, an ordinary film will be very fast in post-production. However, during the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", there was not much on-site sound recording, so after the official editing of the first version, Zhang Baorong and other participants had to come to the original dubbing.

In particular, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a costume ghost film, with a lot of supernatural colors, and in terms of post-production, special effects are a big difficulty.

Chen Jialuo said: "According to the meaning of Youge, it should be officially released in mid-July. We've got to hurry!"

"Xiaodong, you are the most experienced in post-production special effects! Originally, I wanted to contact a Hollywood stuntman to give me some more advice, but the price was not negotiated. Anyway, our new visual effects artists are stealing from them, so it shouldn't be a big problem! I'll keep an eye on the editing, and you'll be staring at the special effects!"

Although Western films are not in demand in Southeast Asia now, their production capacity in stunts still far exceeds that of Xiangjiang. Chen Jialuo finally collapsed with Hollywood's stunt company, and could only rely on Xu You's new visual studio.

In this regard, Chen Xiaodong said with a smile: "Don't worry! There is still more than half a month, and there is no big problem." Brother You've long taken this into account when filming "The Legend of Shu Mountain", and our level of stealing teachers is not low. ”

"But it's released in the summer, it's so difficult for us to break out of the encirclement!"

Chen Xiaodong's worries are naturally not unreasonable, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an alternative film after all, and it is not easy to break out of the encirclement. Jiashang has first-class martial arts superstars such as Fang Long, and the box office appeal is not comparable to them at all.

Chen Jialuo said: "Jiashang's film must be an action comedy, and we may not have killed it." But for the film of the new ingot, we still have the ability to fight it. ”

"It is said that Jiashang is pushing the sequel to "Plan A" in the summer, Fang Long's box office appeal is now in full swing, and it is a continuation of the original champion, we don't have to regret it!" Chen Jialuo thought for a while and said: "The new ingots are "Autumn Fairy Tales", which is said to be a literary film. However, Zhou Jin and Zhong Qiushui are now the top line among male and female actors, and they should not be underestimated. ”

Since "The True Color of Heroes", this year's Zhou Jin can be described as shining. The movies released in the past few months have all had a box office of more than 10 million, and 'Immortal Jin' is already an ironclad nickname. As for Zhong Qiushui, this is the sexy goddess of Xiangjiang, known as Xiangjiang's 'Marilyn Monroe', and her box office appeal is also huge.

Chen Xiaodong and others felt bitter water in their hearts, in comparison, "A Chinese Ghost Story" really has no advantages except for the novel theme. The schedule is really good, but the opponents are all very strong.

On the contrary, Chen Jialuo is very confident in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and said: "Don't worry, we just need to do our movie well." What is the box office, it is up to the audience to have the final say. ”

"A movie, as long as we do it with our hearts. So regardless of his box office, we passed our own level first. If a movie can make you feel OK, then it won't be far to conquer the audience!" Chen Jialuo tapped on the table, and suddenly smiled and said: "That interview team from TSB has filmed a lot of scenes after we shoot off, and we will talk about it when the time comes." Make a promotional video of those scenes after shooting...... Haha!"

Seeing Chen Jialuo's weird laughter, everyone shrank their necks one after another. This helmsman is really capable of 'recycling'...... Obviously, he asked to go to TSB to help with publicity, but even the promotional video was directly used from the shooting footage of the interview team!

High!

It's really high!

After all, Wang Xiaoxian is Miss Fang's person, and it is understandable that TSB helped promote this movie. And now that TSB's Shaw Brothers Film Company has been discontinued, as a TV station with countless artists, it is also very advantageous to have a good relationship with a movie giant.

However, if Chen Xiaodong and the others knew that Chen Jialuo recommended Xu You to buy Wang Xiaoxian's contract, I am afraid that this kid would really feel that this kid is really bad. When the time comes, it will really be popularized, and it will also help Yidu Film Company to praise people.

……

"Fu Wei, I won't say much else. When it comes to editing, you're the pro. But don't cut the key shots I mentioned......"

If there is a situation in which the director will be so rambling, then most of the time it is because of the beginning of the editing of the movie he shot himself.

Originally, this task should have been Chen Xiaodong's, but how could Chen Jialuo give up the right to edit! No matter how well a movie is filmed, if you meet a bastard editor and cut the movie into a mess, it will really be ruined.

Chen Jialuo also has a personal opinion on editing, and this Hu Fuwei is not a very good editor, at least in Chen Jialuo's opinion, the other party does not have any outstanding works, so he stays in the editing room together most of the time.

may be because Chen Jialuo is famous, and now he asks for this, pay attention to that, all kinds of words give Hu Fuwei a headache, but he is still editing according to Chen Jialuo's meaning.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, the chief producer will take care of it himself.

A producer who pointed fingers grabbed the power of the director, and even asked for various editing styles by his side, Hu Fuwei still sympathized with Chen Xiaodong very much. No wonder the head ran into others first, and they all said that Chen Jialuo was the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story", everything is going on in an orderly manner. And what really gave Chen Jialuo a headache was the various soundtracks of the movie. He may be good at other things, but he can't do it musically.

Originally, Xu You's arrangement of several movie soundtracks was eventually driven away by Chen Jialuo. Until the film was about to be edited, the four great talents of Xiangjiang and one of the two "brilliant" saints of the music world, the famous Huang Zhansen personally visited him.

"Hello, Uncle Zhan. ”

If 70% or 80% of Xiangjiang's classic songs are covered by RB, then the remaining 20% and 30% mostly come from this music talent. And Huang Zhansen's songs should be atmospheric, and they should be tactful, and everyone in the music world is everyone, especially the song "My Chinese Heart" makes Chen Jialuo respect him very much.

"Chen Jialuo?" Although Huang Zhansen saw Chen Jialuo for the first time, he didn't have any sense of strangeness, and said bluntly: "I heard that you are not satisfied with the soundtrack of "A Chinese Ghost Story", how about leaving it to me?"
