On January 4, 2011, the first day of the 12th lunar month, the weather was sunny, blue sky and white clouds.

Li Xiuping returned to BJ, he didn't pause, and rushed to the headquarters of New Dream Film and Television Company as soon as he got off the plane, and then arranged a new order for Liu Zhenyu's water army studio, that is, to hype the news that he was about to make a movie on the Internet.

Li Xiuping originally felt that his own level was not enough, so he had to shoot a TV series first, study hard, and switch to movies after he had strong control on the set and sufficient experience.

But this time he didn't have the patience to wait, Li Xiuping didn't know what the reason was, he didn't know if he remembered it wrongly, or God erased the information of Jiang Lingling's family, in short, he couldn't find Jiang Lingling. Li Xiuping does not have enough power and does not have a strong enough relationship to use the police system to find Jiang Lingling, he can only try it in his own way. Therefore, in the WZ City Public Security Bureau, Li Xiuping made a decision, that is, to make a movie, the heroine's name is Jiang Lingling, and use this as a gimmick to find the most beautiful "Jiang Lingling" in all parts of China.

This is the reason why Li Xiuping suddenly changed his work plan, and he wanted to mobilize the audience to help him find "Jiang Lingling". In Huaxia, only movies have enough appeal, no matter how popular a TV series or online drama is, the popularity of offline discussions is not as hot as a good movie, so he wants to make a movie, not a TV series.

However, no matter how eager Li Xiuping is to make a movie, he has some things that must be dealt with first, and the most important thing is naturally the post-production of the second season of "Sin in the Heart".

At the end of the month, it is the Lunar New Year, and many company departments will have to take vacations at that time, so Li Xiuping hopes to finish the second season of "Sin" as soon as possible, preferably before the New Year.

After thinking about it, Li Xiuping decided to edit first, and his previous two works were all in HD to find an editing studio casually, and experience is cheap. This time Li Xiuping hesitated, on the one hand, he was in a hurry, he wanted to get the post-production as soon as possible, on the other hand, he put in much more effort than the previous two works during shooting, and he hoped that this work could be more perfect. Li Xiuping thought of the efforts of the entire crew and the trust of Teng Xunfang, and finally chose to do a good job in the second season of "Sin in the Heart" as much as possible, so he decided to find a good editing studio with a good reputation.

Li Xiuping didn't know many people in the circle, so he called Liu Shengli and told him about his difficulties, and Liu Shengli happily introduced an editing studio.

"Director Li, although this editing company is newly opened, I know the person in charge, she graduated from the New York Film Academy, worked in Hollywood for several years, and is a good editor recognized by insiders over there, you must gain something if you hand over "Guilty in the Heart" to her. ”

…………

At half past eight o'clock in the morning on January 5, 2011, it was cloudy and breezy, Li Xiuping was wearing a long down, dressed in a thick dress, he still felt a little cold, he rubbed his hands, looked at the two-storey building in front of him, couldn't help but look at the surrounding buildings, and found that there were some old two- or three-story low-rise buildings, and there was a chicken farm not far away, he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the plaque in front of him, "The world's tenth editing studio, yes, it is indeed here, this is where Liu Shengli introduced?"

Li Xiuping shook his head, but still took out his mobile phone to dial the contact number given by Liu Shengli.

Five minutes later, a young woman with long hair and a ponytail, slightly dark skin, wearing a tight sportswear, highlighting her excellent figure, stood in front of Li Xiuping, "Hello, my name is Yang Meina, you can also call me Lisa." ”

"Hello, my name is Li Xiuping. ”

"Liu Shengli told me about you, come with me. ”

Yang Meina led Li Xiuping into the small building, she walked through the first floor and went directly to the second floor, where is the editing room, which has projectors, large screens, computers and other machines, as well as two rows of sofas, which should be used for rest.

"May you be seated, coffee?"

"Give me a glass of water. ”

"No problem. ”

After a while, Yang Meina made herself a cup of coffee and poured a glass of water for Li Xiuping, she handed the cup to Li Xiuping, "I watched the first season of "Guilty in the Heart", and you did a good job, but your editing level is really average. ”

Li Xiuping glanced at Yang Meina, "The first season of "Sin in the Heart" was indeed edited by the editors under my guidance, I am not from a professional background, in your opinion, it may be too rough." ”

"You are the kind of layman who doesn't know how to pretend to understand the most, if I come, the audio-visual effect of the first season of "Sin in the Heart" will definitely go to the next level. ”

Li Xiuping took a sip of water, "As you wish, show your ability, the second season of "Sin in the Heart" will be handled by you." ”

"No problem, sign the contract, and start right away. ”

Li Xiuping put down the water glass, "There is one thing I want to state first, you can suggest to me, but you can't tamper with my decision without authorization." ”

"Of course, you are the customer, and the customer is God. ”

"I hope you can remember what you said. ”

"No problem. ”

After Li Xiuping signed the contract with Yang Meina, Li Xiuping showed Yang Meina the script of the second season of "Guilty in the Heart", and at the same time explained to Yang Meina what she doubted, as well as Li Xiuping's own requirements and thoughts.

It took Yang Meina two days to read the script, and the editing began on the third day.

"Mr. Li Xiuping, what are you doing with this set of lenses, and what is the use of them?"

"The transition, the psychological changes of the protagonist, there must be a buffer, it is too sudden for the audience to understand. ”

"Hahaha, you underestimate the audience's IQ too much, you don't need it, I'm very responsible to tell you, no, this is a set of useless shots, delete it, it won't affect the plot at all. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, it doesn't affect the plot. ”

"I mean, 'The average audience can understand it,' I mean. ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"Are you sure the audience can read it?"

"It's totally okay, don't think about how profound your plot is, the current audience is well-informed, where do you need to explain. ”

"Well, do what you want. ”

…………

"Miss Yang Meina, although I am not a professional, and I don't know much about the truth of editing, but the most basic, voice after voice, circle after circle, door after door, action after action, I still understand these, just now, the protagonist opens the door at home, and the editing shows that the victim opens the door at home, why did you delete the scene where the victim opened the door?"

"What are you doing with that set of shots? Isn't it more impactful to go straight to the murder weapon and kill the victim?"

"But it's not so smooth, from the door to the knife, it's too abrupt. ”

"So if you're a layman, it's not impossible to be fluent, but this place, using unfluency to enhance suddenness, will give the audience a stronger audio-visual effect. ”

"Well, do as you say. ”

…………

"Oops, hey, why don't you use that set of shots?"

"Tell me your reasoning. ”

Tai Wei stalking the murderer, the night, dark clouds, lightning and thunder, raindrops, and whizzing cars, these are all rendering the atmosphere, more tense and urgent. ”

"No, no, no, it's not like this, Tai Wei is tracking the murderer, there should be more rhythm here, creating a sense of life and death, not the tension and urgency you said. ”

"Have you ever seen Akira Kurosawa's films? That's how he made it. ”

"Of course I've seen Kurosawa's films, but that doesn't mean he's doing the truth, and now times are different, and a lot of ambient rendering can seem too draggy. ”

"Then keep the raindrops. ”

"Yes. ”

…………

"It's time to order takeout, what are you eating?"

"Egg fried rice and milk tea. ”

"Egg fried rice is an overnight meal, it's not nutritious, let's change it. ”

"Then grilled chicken thighs and big potatoes, and sweet potato cakes. ”

"On fire. ”

"And what do you eat?"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork, minced eggplant, back to the pot meat. ”

"These three dishes are enough for us to eat together, and I will follow you. ”

…………

"Li Xiuping, get up and run. ”

"Last night I struggled until two o'clock. ”

"So what, exercise every day so that you can have a strong body. ”

"Go ahead, I'll sleep for a while. ”

"Look at your sick appearance, I'm really worried about your future wife, twenty times a month for sex, can you?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"No wonder you don't have a girlfriend, your body is so weak, how can you keep a woman. ”

"It's like you have a boyfriend. ”

"Forget it, if you don't go, you won't go, but I won't work overtime at night, and you'll die suddenly if you are weak. ”

"Wozhi, you have to work overtime, let's run together. ”

…………

"Yang Meina, can you hurry up, it's been a week, and half of it hasn't been done yet, and I still want to go home for the New Year." ”

"If you want to be fast, you can do it yourself, I'm at this speed. ”

"Are you like that in Hollywood?"

"yes, I've always been. ”

…………

"Yang Meina, it took me an afternoon to take that set of shots just now, and the efforts of hundreds of people in the entire crew, why did you delete it?"

"It's not that you have been filming for a long time, the difficulty of shooting is a useful shot, that set of shots just now is too sensational, haven't you noticed it, it is not in harmony with the temperament of the whole show. ”

"Please, commercial films, how can they not be sensational?"

"Are you sure you're staying?"

"Yes, I think I should stay. ”

"That'...... I don't think it's too much. ”

"Yang Meina, you said that I was a customer, and you listened to me. ”

"But you don't need that plot?"

"I'm a director, I'm a screenwriter, and I think it's needed. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

…………

There is only Yang Meina in the world's tenth editing studio, she has no assistant, and she does all the editing work alone, coupled with her serious and responsible attitude of courage to express, so this time the editing work is very slow.

Li Xiuping originally planned to do the first cut in about half a month, but it was completed on January 28. In order to be in a hurry, Li Xiuping has been living in the editing room for more than half a month, ordering takeout for three meals a day, and lying on the sofa at night.

After finishing the first cut, Li Xiuping left the editing room, and there was a feeling of rebirth after the rain and the sunshine. It was very tiring for more than half a month, but he learned a lot of professional knowledge, and he gained a lot.

"I'm going back to my hometown for the New Year, and after the New Year, I'll do a good job of the music and painting part, and then I'll find you to cut it, you're fine. ”

"I'm going to travel abroad for the Chinese New Year. ”

"Always come back in March. ”

"Pretty much. ”

"Okay, see you in March. ”

"Goodbye. ”
