December is the end of the year, and the books on sale in this month abound, and in the days when there is no big seller like Lin Han, the book sales market can be said to be full of flowers!

After nearly a month of best-selling "The Time Traveler's Wife" released by Lin Han in November, the popularity has dropped somewhat, and it no longer has the momentum of the previous weeks, and sales have begun to slow down and tend to stabilize. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And his other books also maintain a proud sales ability, and in the case of new books every month, they can still rank firmly in the top 20, top 30, top 50, and top 100!

Without a leader, these novels are caught in a scuffle, each trying to capture more sales and gain a larger readership.

Lin Han didn't have the heart to pay attention to this aspect of things now, he was looking at the filmed materials in the film editing room and worried, Rao is that he has memories of his previous life, but he couldn't help but shoot hundreds of minutes of materials during shooting, and now he wants to edit these materials into a ninety-minute movie!

These hundreds of minutes of material were all born with his own eyes, and he was so distressed that he couldn't wait to keep them all, even if it was impossible.

"Sure enough, being an editor is ruthless."

At this moment, Lin Han finally understood the reason why many directors had the right to edit, but they had to ask an editor to help.

These materials are all the director's children, and they can't do it themselves, so they can only be edited by irrelevant people!

Editing is an art, and a good editor can cut a protagonist into a small character with only 2 minutes of scenes, or a small character can be edited into the most brilliant character in the whole film.

The clips that people often come into contact with are TV shows, such as a previous professional singer competition, the first issue and the latest edition of the editing can be called superb, obviously Tan Jing appeared to sing and participated in the final ranking announcement, but under the editor's magic, as if there was no such person at all, disappeared directly from the picture!

Reasonable, clever and correct editing can enhance the artistic expression and appeal of the film, under normal circumstances, the editing of a movie takes half a month to a month, but Lin Han doesn't take that long, he actually has already thought about the trend of the whole film in his mind.

This isn't his first exposure to editing, having previously edited footage with a less professional machine when he was studying at home, and he also edited the first trailer for The Martian.

The filming material of "Immortality" is nothing compared to "The Martian", after all, one investment is only 100,000, and the other invests hundreds of millions!

Lin Han didn't plan to edit any trailers, anyway, he had enough promotional materials in his hands, and then revealed a little bit to the outside every week, and it was enough for the movie to maintain a sense of mystery.

The advantage of not needing special effects is that Lin Han can now combine the plot as he wants, and although it lacks a soundtrack, it's not a big deal!

Day after day, he almost treats the editing room as his home, spending a lot of time in it every day, and even thinking about editing when he goes home to take a shower and sleep.

If you don't go crazy, you can't survive, and the work that obviously takes more than ten days was compressed by him in five days and the editing was completed!

The final cut of the movie is 93 minutes long, which is normal for a 2D movie, at least not too short, after all, the plot is limited, and it would be too long-winded to get 120 minutes.

After making the subtitles and cast list, Lin Han put the easter eggs he prepared into it, which will be the best part of the whole film, as long as the audience can insist on seeing the easter eggs broadcast, they will definitely be suppressed!

After Lin Han finished editing the video, he began to deal with the sound of the movie, and he didn't know how to score the soundtrack, and he would find a special soundtrack artist to deal with it later.

"Immortality" chose simultaneous sound during filming, that is, recording and recording sound at the shooting site, which has the advantage of making the dialogue more realistic and natural, and there is no need to go to the recording studio to record it alone.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, some unnecessary noise will be included when recording, although they use a handheld recording equipment to collect the sound, but the filtering effect is not obvious!

Therefore, now when Lin Han is in post-production, he has to modify and polish the simultaneous sound, eliminate the messy and unnecessary noise, and add some sound effects needed for special effects.

After doing that, his job is actually basically over, and now he is waiting for the soundtrack to appear, and of course he wants to ask a master like Hans Zimmer to help!

There are relatively few domestic soundtrack artists, and there are not many top-notch ones, not to mention that Lin Han's current budget can't afford it, so he can only settle for the next best.

Music is the last few links of a movie, never expect a movie to have enough budget to squander on music, "Immortality" now has only the last 12,000 dollars left, Lin Han found a music studio through the recommendation of alumni of his film school and signed a contract with this price!

After Lin Han handed over the script to the studio, he waited there to create music, and then recorded, and when everything was recorded, Lin Han would decide what time period to place the different music.

After all, not every part needs a soundtrack, and some soundtracks can even be used directly off-the-shelf, but only for a royalty.

Time always slips away inadvertently, and by the time Lin Han is done with these things, half of December has passed!

……

"I still think of filmmaking as simple as possible, and after doing it myself, I realized that there are problems everywhere, and everywhere needs to be done seriously."

Lin Han is receiving a massage with Wang Hao and Li Wenyuan at this time, which can be regarded as a vacation for himself to relax his body.

For men who live in a fast-paced and overloaded work pressure, a massage in a quiet environment is the best way to quickly eliminate physical and mental fatigue and completely relax!

Wang Hao closed his eyes, feeling the technician's hard massage on his back, and he said with emotion: "Yes, now your speed is already very fast, how can others be as efficient as you." ”

"In the past, you had a team to help you, but now you only do it by yourself, so it's normal to slow down." Li Wenyuan didn't know much about the post-production of the movie, and he said suspiciously: "It hasn't started publicity yet, when are you going to release it?" ”

Lin Han now also feels that the Spring Festival file is a little anxious, after all, the soundtrack has not come out, and it has to be submitted for review, and after passing the review, the theater will make a digital copy, I don't know how efficient those people in the Film Censorship Bureau are, whether they will use big scissors, he doesn't want to be cut to pieces.

"We originally scheduled to release it on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the investment in the film is not big anyway, so let's try to show it in every city in the country. If you can't catch up with the time, you will have to wait for the Lantern Festival or beyond! ”

This was not something that Lin Han could decide, he could only pray more.

Li Wenyuan paused, and he suddenly remembered: "By the way, are you still going to this year's writers' annual meeting?" ”

"When is it going to happen? I'm not impressed! Lin Han patted his head, he still remembered that he attended the writers' annual meeting held by the General Administration of Press and Publication last year, and won an award, I don't know how it will be this year.

"It's tomorrow night, it's impossible not to send you an invitation."

In the past year, Lin Han is the most concerned person in the entire book market and the entire literary circle, if he does not receive the invitation, then it is estimated that the people in the General Administration of Press and Publication are stupid.

Lin Han didn't dwell on this problem, he said with a smile: "Recently, when I was busy with movies, I didn't check my mailbox. It is estimated that Chen Jiaxuan was also afraid that I would be distracted and didn't want me to be tired, so she didn't tell me, so I'll go back and ask at night! ”

Last year, Lin Han's reputation was not as big as this year, and he became the focus of the news, this time he just went to get acquainted with the General Administration of Press and Publication, and it will be faster when he applies for a book number in the future.

"Speaking of which, this year's annual meeting of writers is long overdue, and I remember that it was held in October." Lin Han had only participated once in the end, and he was not very experienced.

"The time is usually not fixed, but this time it came very late. I thought they weren't going to do it, and if they canceled the tradition, they wouldn't have the chance to see so many writers at once! ”

As a former science fiction brother, Li Wenyuan has participated in it for more than ten years, but unfortunately he has not been supernatural like Lin Han once.

This "horse kills chicken" is indeed very comfortable, Lin Han lay on the bed, feeling the movement of his shoulders and cervical spine, he slowly said: "This is the real annual meeting, it will be held at the end of the year." If it had been a few days before, I would definitely not have gotten there. ”

Li Wenyuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lin Han, the three of them were lying side by side, so they could chat, "If you don't go, it is estimated that the General Administration of Press and Publication will blacklist you." Now in the publicity plan listed on the Internet, it is that you will definitely join. Those reporters are counting on you to go backstage after you win the award, and their posters are released! ”

"I haven't replied if I will participate or not, and they will use my name to promote it?" Lin Han was a little annoyed, if he didn't go, wouldn't he have to take the blame.

Wang Hao gloated and said: "If you don't go, it's your change of itinerary or playing a big name." Anyway, just go and relax, it's not a big deal! Anyway, can you bring a guest in? ”

"No, only the invited writers themselves can do it, you go to join in the fun."

"I can go to the live broadcast of Lin Han to win the award, maybe there will be a lot of fans watching, and then let me take the opportunity to make a small profit!"
