Everyone in the bar was very drunk, and there was no sadness of parting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After the info shoot, most people won't be involved in post-production.

As for the members of the Fire Lion Production Department, who are the backbone of each department, Sid has other tasks assigned to them.

Because Sid is not yet of the age to drink even according to Canadian law, all the spearheads of the drinking are aimed at producer Henry and photographer Lance Arcord and other high-level Fire Lion executives.

Sid was happy, taking a little bit of warm milk and chatting with the main actors sitting around him. Orlando Bloom looked at Sid, who was drinking milk in the bar, and said with a speechless expression, "I'm finally willing to believe you're only 17 years old, Sid." Drink milk in a bar? ”

Sid shrugged, "If you envy me for being more handsome than you, you can say it straight." But milk won't give it to you. ”

Sid's words caused a group of beautiful ladies to laugh. Reese Witherspoon squeezed, "Don't listen to Orlando, he's only getting old enough to drink this year, little boy." ”

"Please, I could have drunk in England for a long time. Orlando said unadmittedly, after two months of getting along, a group of actresses already know that under Orlando's handsome appearance, there is a pure young heart.

"But this is Vancouver, not the UK. Rachel McAdams sat down with a beer in her hand.

"By the way, Orlando, are you going back to school in the future?" asked Katie Helms, who has always been fond of the handsome Orlando Bloom, holding a beer.

"Well, school is about to start in the UK. Orlando nodded.

"You're graduating in June next year?" Sid asked suddenly.

"Yes?" Orlando nodded strangely, Sid mentioned his graduation time at this time, didn't he have any invitation?

"Well, I remember "The Lord of the Rings" from New Line Pictures, and there are rumors in the industry that filming will start next year, and you can ask your agent to inquire about what suitable roles there are. After all, "The Lord of the Rings" is the originator of fantasy with British origin, and British actors will have an advantage to compete for roles. Sid touched his nose and said.

Now that Orlando has joined Endeavour Elite Brokerage with his agent, Sid might as well help the future "Elf Prince" get the role he deserves.

"OK, I see. Orlando nodded in understanding.

Others couldn't help but show envious expressions, being valued by the director of a future star is definitely beneficial to an actor, although this future star is younger than them.

"Then Rachel, do you have an agent?" and Sid, who is a good teacher, since he has a group of future Hollywood stars around him, of course he will not waste it.

"Well, no. "Rachel McAdams, who was still a college student, certainly wouldn't.

"When you graduate, call Ali Emmanuel and say I'll let you go to him. You ask him to arrange for you to be an agent and then arrange for you to go to Los Angeles. Sid handed over a business card, and Rachel accepted it with some excitement.

After giving benefits to Orlando Bloom and Rachel McAdams, Sid went on to talk about other gossip and interesting things, but the other young actors, who were disturbed by Sid's welfare, quickly left to drink with the others.

――――――――――――――――――――

When Sid returned to Los Angeles, he plunged headfirst into the editing studio. Sid had already asked ILM's special effects artists that the special effects part they were responsible for also needed to be produced on the edited dailies.

So whether it's special effects or sound effects, you have to get the editing done first.

The average director is better at cinematography, such as Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, who are also good cinematographers themselves, and can roll up their sleeves and carry the camera down to shoot a scene when necessary.

But there are also a few directors who are better at editing, such as James Cameron. Since the loss of the right to cut the final cut on the neodymium work "Piranha 2", a bad movie has been made. Cameron was furious and directly taught himself how to use the editing machine. Since then, all the films he has made have been edited by himself.

Even so, Cameron still has the editors of the film company to assist in the cutting, for example, when "Titanic" won the Oscar for Best Editing, it was the editor invited by Fox who came to the stage to accept the award.

Sid, on the other hand, is more extreme than Kashen, because he is the boss, and at the same time, the original films of all the movies are remembered in his mind in the form of high-definition images. So when shooting, Sid had already recorded the order and arrangement of all the shots.

In this way, when it comes to post-editing, you only need to follow the order of the shots shot in advance, directly discharge, and then make fine-tuning.

Of course, the lens during shooting will not be exactly the same as the original film, after all, the scene is not exactly the same, and the camera position, lighting, etc. must be adjusted accordingly. But with his sense of editing, Sid has already circled these places that need to be pondered. After doing adjustment-type experiments in these few places, it can also be carried out quickly.

When Sid said a week later that the first cut was shown for internal screening, several executives thought he was joking.

After watching the dailies without sound effects and special effects, Henry and others intuitively felt that "Warm Corpses" was of good quality, at least at the B+ level. If all the post-production is completed, the level should be even higher.

After passing the preview screening, Fire Lion Pictures sent the samples to the soundtrack, sound effects, and most importantly, industrial light and magic for special effects. In order to complete these most expensive parts, Sid has set aside a budget of $20 million in advance.

And the processing of these post-production work is inseparable from the director's careful polishing and trade-offs. In particular, ILM is responsible for the VFX.

Whether it's a fully 3D realistic monster or a variety of scenes shot on a green screen, you need to carefully adjust to achieve the corresponding level. And many times, it will definitely not achieve such a good effect, at least not as refined as it will be more than ten years later. At this time, the audience's acceptance can only be measured to accept a "degraded version" of the results.

This process made Sid feel more painful than shooting and editing, after all, it was really unacceptable to see a "future masterpiece" become "deteriorating" in his own hands. But for the sake of the budget and the company, Sid, even as a boss, can't do whatever he wants.

――――――――――――――――――――

In mid-October, the annual San Francisco Film Festival is in full swing at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Theater. Although the San Francisco Film Festival is low-key compared to the well-known Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, it is an important way to open the way for foreign filmmakers to enter the United States.

The San Francisco Film Festival has always played an important role, such as the three Mexican giants who were almost on the verge of occupying the Oscars, Alfonso Cuarón, Del Toro and Gonzalez, all entered the Hollywood circle through the San Francisco Film Festival.

"Hmph, I'll just say Brother Sid, why are you so kind to ask me to come to San Francisco to play. It turns out that it's still for business, hmph, I'll ignore you. A little red-haired girl sat in a corner of the open café angrily, throwing a tantrum while sneaking a peek back.

"Okay, I said I'd go to Napa, I'll definitely go to Luo. Sid laughed and rubbed Lindsay's hair.

"Hmph, I don't want to go to Napa. Xiao Nizi deliberately turned her head, "I'd rather go to the amusement park, and besides, don't rub my hair, I'm not a child anymore, I'm 12 years old!"

Just then, Sid's assistant, Justin Lin, ran over and said, "Boss, it's time to enter." ”

"Oh, let's go. Sid nodded and stood up.

Lindsay knew that there was something to do, and immediately stood up, and the delicate and thoughtful place of Little Nizi was one of Sid's favorite places.

Hildra took Lindsay's small hand and circled her fingers in the palm of her hand as she asked Justin Lind, "Will the director be there himself?"

"Of course, I have contacted the organizers and they promised to arrange for us to meet after the screening. Justin Lin nodded.

“OK。 ”

Passing through several crowded halls and up and down the aisles, Sid and his party soon caught the attention of passers-by in the theater of the Palais des Arts Palace. After all, most of the people here are film media in Hollywood, as well as local and overseas newcomer filmmakers.

This year's biggest overnight celebrity, the prodigy director Sid Leonhardt, who has taken the world by storm with the lowest-cost "Ghost Record" in history. It was definitely the most envious of everyone present, and the directors and filmmakers who were still unknown looked at Sid more eagerly than the media.

"Hey, Sid, are you here to see the movie?" someone asked from a distance through a few assistants and bodyguards led by Justin Lin, an occasion like the San Francisco Film Festival is originally a place for large and small film companies to pan for gold.

And it's true that some famous directors and company owners will come in person, such as Harvey Weinstein of Miramax.

"Of course. Sid replied briefly with a smile.

"Then you must come to see our movie!" As soon as he heard Sid's words, several filmmakers chased after Sid's team, causing several bodyguards to turn their heads nervously.

"Take it easy. Sid smiled and reassured the bodyguard, then he turned his head and smiled and said, "You give the information to my assistant, we will see it later." ”

As soon as these words came out, more people raised the movie materials in their hands and Sha over, Sid patted Justin Lin (Lin Yibin), and said with an unscrupulous smile: "Please Luo, Xiaolin children's shoes, let's go first." ”

Justin Lin (Lin Yibin) looked at the surging crowd of people, and he had no time to say with a tearless expression on his face: "Boss~~~~!"

Then he was buried by the crowd that came up in the sympathetic eyes of the others, and Sid and the others also took the opportunity to escape from the crowd, and while fleeing, Sid and the others pointed back unscrupulously: "Give him everything!" ”
