When Xu Jing woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.

Xu Jing slept very deeply this night. It was the longest night he'd slept in three months, having previously spent only three hours of sleep each night in order to fit in best with the movie character.

Not only did he have heavy dark circles and eye bags, but even his skin became rough and saggy, and the whole person looked a lot older, so that all the foreign crew members only regarded him as a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old during filming.

In the past three months, if you want to say that you are unfortunate and bitter, it must be false, according to Xu Jing's physical strength, this is almost his limit, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that his body will not be able to bear it.

Xu Jing doesn't think this is something to be proud of, since he chose to play this role, then he must do his best to serve this role and serve this movie, which is his duty as an actor.

I remember that in the original time and space, Christian Bale, who played the "Batman" series, lost 55 pounds in two weeks in order to shoot the role of "The Mechanic", which was tormented by insomnia, and finally lost 63 pounds, nearly 57 pounds, equivalent to one-third of his own weight. For those two weeks, he ate only one canned fish and one apple a day, and had to combine it with a lot of exercise to burn fat.

There is also Indian national treasure actor Aamir Khan, who starred in "Wrestling, Daddy" at the age of 51 as 19, 29, and 55 years old, respectively, and the three age groups have different body shapes, Aamir Khan first gained weight to 97 kilograms in five months, and then lost weight to 67 kilograms in five months.

There are countless actors like this, and Xu Jing feels that his efforts in the past three months are nothing compared to them.

The relationship between normal movies and actors is always that actors serve movies, not movies serve actors, even idol dramas can't go beyond this rule.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Xu Jing took out a can of milk from the refrigerator to quench his thirst, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Xiaoxun wearing a small vest and shorts, walking out of her room with a sleepy look, her fluffy short hair looked messy, and she thought she had just woken up.

"Hmph!!" came to the living room to see Xu Jing, Zhou Xiaoxun was confused for a while before he came to his senses, snorted heavily to him, and then walked to the bathroom.

"Huh. . . Hehe. Xu Jing smiled awkwardly.

When Zhou Xiaoxun came out of the bathroom, Xu Jing poured her a glass of milk, Zhou Xiaoxun picked up the cup and took a sip, but he didn't look at him with a look of ignoring you.

"Xiaomi, I wrote a theme song for the movie a few days ago, we sang together, I'll give you the script in a while, you learn how to sing first, and when I cut the movie in a few days, we'll go to record the song together." ”

"Really?"

"Really, lied to you that you're a puppy. ”

“。。。。 ”

The post-production of a movie usually includes several stages of editing, special effects, and compositing, and if it is subdivided, it includes viewing materials, dubbing, soundtrack, packaging, etc.

No matter how well a film is shot, it is indispensable to have the editing part of the film, that is, in the large number of materials filmed, through selection, trade-off, decomposition and assembly, finally make it coherent and smooth, clear in meaning, clear in theme and make it artistically appealing. In the whole editing process, it is necessary not only to ensure the naturalness, smoothness and coherence of the narrative between the shots, but also to highlight the inner performance of the shots, that is, to achieve the unity of the dual functions of narrative and performance.

With the development of the film industry, the editing process has become more and more complex, and the editing equipment has become more and more advanced, so there are specialized film editors, and generally speaking, the editing of movies is edited by professional editors.

In producer-centered Hollywood, directors usually do not have the right to edit, especially the right to final cuts, and among many directors, only a few super directors have this right. In Huaguo, where the director-centered system is centered, many directors, as the creators and leaders of a film, are unwilling to let professional editors edit because they have their own things to express about the film. From a market perspective, this is a very unreasonable thing.

Of course, all this is not reasonable or unreasonable in Xu Jing's case. With the original film as a template, Xu Jing does not need to look for the required shots and the most ideal editing points among thousands of shots, as other directors do, and then repeatedly consider how to connect them. Xu Jing knew exactly what shots he needed, where to cut them, and how to connect the whole story, and it took less than three days to cut out the final version he needed.

The entire post-production is not all done by himself, post-production is a huge project, and the background music that needs to be used Xu Jing used the evening time to compose and prepare the music as early as the filming period, and handed it over to Zhao Xiaojun to hire the symphony orchestra to score the music.

Although the movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is not a musical, its background music is an extremely important part. Especially the classic clip of the villain Stan committing murder in the film.

Stan kills to the rhythm of music when he commits the murder, imagining that he is listening to a Beethoven symphony before committing the murder, and even makes a high-level statement about the music choice to the victim before committing the murder.

"I like the calm of the moment before the storm," Stan said. He brought himself into this rhythm of killing, fear, nervousness made him nervously unusually excited, unusually crazy. He mastered this rhythm, and at the climax of the rhythm, it was also his own excitement, shooting, shooting, shooting, he enjoyed the process of the slaughter, and his heart was greatly satisfied, and his personal emotions could be vented to his heart's content.

The soundtrack of that scene is What's Happening Out There? The tune is like a person who is deeply attracted by something sudden, and under the trend of curiosity, with an uneasy heart, to discover what is going on there. Then I found that the curiosity was gone, the feeling of freshness and excitement was enjoyed, and the music slowed down and became dull.

The music fits the scene very well and Stan psychologically. The back and forth switching of perspectives is consistent with the rhythm, and the whole scene looks coherent, in one go, and even has a somewhat immersive feeling, and Stan's personality is more obvious.

The dubbing of the movie Xu Jingxiang is to make two versions, one for the Hong Kong version and one for the international version.

The Hong Kong version is naturally the version that is going to be released locally in Hong Kong, and it is a Cantonese dubbing of the whole film. Most of the films are recorded at the same time on the spot during the filming process, that is, the recording method of recording at the same time as shooting the movie screen, which is more natural and realistic than the post-recording.

Of course, the simultaneous recording method is more demanding on the shooting environment, because many shooting locations will be very noisy, such as street noise, camera track noise, etc. However, most of the films "Killer" are indoor scenes, and there are a lot of fixed shots, so there is no need to use camera tracks, etc., so it can be said that it is very suitable for simultaneous recording.

The international version is intended for distribution outside of the Heung Kong area. The international version of dubbing is not all Chinese, but both Chinese and Cantonese. The Cantonese dialogue dubbing is naturally a dialogue between the protagonist and the villain and other characters, while the dialogue between Michael and Mika is in Chinese. This setting is mainly due to the identity of the two protagonists of the film.

In the original "Hitman", the story takes place in New York, and the male protagonist Leon is an Italian-American killer. In Xu Jing's version of the story, the identity of the actor Michael is from Taiwan Island, and it is not set to the mainland because the movie explains that Michael died of his first love in his illustrious family, which is not quite in line with the national conditions of the mainland.

The identity background of Mika's family is set as a mainland immigrant, of course, her stepmother wants to be a local. This setting is more in line with Mika's precocious, truant, and rebellious character of a troubled girl. It is not that all girls from the mainland are problem girls, but that Xiangjiang is a very xenophobic place, especially discriminatory against mainlanders, which makes it difficult for mainlanders to integrate into Xiangjiang. When Zhou Xiaoxun first came to Xiangjiang, he skipped school less than a week because he was discriminated against at school, which is the true portrayal of Mika in the film.

In fact, this movie is not only made in two versions in terms of dubbing, but also in terms of film content, one is an Asian version and the other is an international version.

There is not much difference in the content between the two versions, mainly that the movie that Michael watches in the cinema and the characters that Michael and Mika guess in the game are slightly different.

The international version of the movie Michael saw in the cinema was "Sing in the Rain" from the original. The Asian version is the Xiangjiang movie "Old Master" released in 76, which is a comedy adapted from the comic book of the same name that once swept the entire Chinese circle.

In the Asian version, the movie characters guessed when playing the game are retained on the basis of the original Chaplin and Audrey Hepburn, and are integrated into the image of Zhou Runfa and Xiao Ma in "The True Color of Heroes" in 86 and the image of Wang Zuxian and Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story" released in 87, making the movie more down-to-earth.

Other than that, it's different in the theme song. The theme song of the international version is naturally the original version of "Shape of My Heart", that is, the tune played at the Qushi Piano Store, and later sung to Zhou Xiaoxun.

The Asian version of the theme song is a chorus song that Xu Jing said to Zhou Xiaoxun a few days ago, called "Sunset Song".

Many people may not know the song "Song of the Sunset", but when it comes to another version of it, it is familiar, that is, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" sung by Zhang Guorong.

"Song of the Sunset" was originally a song sung by the Japanese singer Kondo Masahiko in 89, and in the same year, it was covered by the Cantonese version of "Song of the Sunset" by Mei Yanfang, the queen of Hong Kong, and the version of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" by Zhang Guorong and Chen Huixian.

Speaking of which, this Kondo Masahiko was also scolded as a scumbag by countless Chinese people because of the emotional entanglement with Mei Yanfang in the original time and space.

"Barley, barley!"

On this day, Xu Jing was recording "Shape of My Heart" in the recording studio, but saw Zhou Xiaoxun and Lin Qingqing trotting in.

"What's the matter? I'm recording a song. ”

"You've read a lot, help me come up with a name! I'm going to have a stage name!"

Zhou Xiaoxun said expectantly, but Lin Qingqing next to him snickered. On weekdays, Lin Qingqing often plays in the crew as long as she has free time, and it is a very new thing for her to meet some stars during filming.

"What kind of stage name is a good stage name? Isn't Zhou Xiaoxun very good?"

"Oh, don't worry about it, just help me think about it!"

Xu Jing was confused by her, and couldn't help but turn to Lin Qingqing. After listening to Lin Qingqing's eloquent story, he understood what happened.

It turned out that when Zhou Xiaoxun chatted with Zeng Zhiwei, who was dubbing on the other side, he talked about some interesting things in the entertainment industry, and heard that the names of some big stars were stage names, such as Zhang Guorong's original name was Zhang Fazong, Mei Yanfang's original name was He Jianan, and Deng Lijun's original name was Deng Lijun.

"Poof, the movie hasn't been made yet, so you want to be popular. Xu Jing touched her head and said with a smile.

"Can you help me or not!" Zhou Xiaoxun took his hand down and said depressedly.

"That's called ... Let's call Zhou Gongzi. Xu Jing had an idea, and thought of her title of honor and disgrace in the original time and space, and she was calm and relaxed.

"Zhou Gongzi... Zhou Gongzi... Zhou Xiaoxun crooked his neck and whispered.

"Okay! I'll be called Zhou Gongzi from now on!" Zhou Xiaoxun settled down with a smile, and then turned to Lin Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, you will call me in the future... Call me Brother Xun! ”
