Chapter 364: Talk about how to use actors
Post-production is the big part of a movie.
Like editing, that's a very troublesome thing, the film is shot by the director, and when it comes to editing, the director is abandoned, and it is difficult to grasp the quality of the cut work.
Taking responsibility for one's own work is a good quality of every responsible director.
Zhang Yimu is naturally the same.
"No, Mr. Zheng, if you want me to be the director, you must give me the right to edit the film and the power to produce special effects in the post-production, because only in this way can I guarantee the final effect of the movie!" Zhang Yimu said categorically.
Zheng Zhefan looked at Zhang Yimu, it seems that this big director has a character.
In other words, Zhang Yimu is very distrustful of Zheng Zhefan.
He didn't believe that a layman like Zheng Zhefan could do a good job in the post-production special effects of the film and the final editing of the film!
For a director, these two are the most important powers!
Because, the pre-shooting of a movie, even after the shooting, is only a half-finished product, if the editing is not good, the post-production special effects are not good, and it will fall short!
Only do the pre-shooting, that is what the executive director and assistant director do, and only the editing and special effects are the ultimate embodiment of the director's will.
"Mr. Zhang, the editor and special effects production team I found are the top in Hollywood, and I have asked them to make a little special effects sample, and now, I can show it to you for you to see. Zheng Zhefan said unhurriedly.
"Oh, do you already have a sample of the special effects? can you show me a show, I'll take a look," Zhang Yimu said.
Zheng Zhefan took out a 32G USB disk from his body and handed it to Zhang Yimu.
Zhang Yimu personally went to tune his TV to the mode of external video access.
Then, he plugged in the USB stick.
After the broadcast, the grand scene appeared, which was the whole picture of Shennongjia, and the ethereal and dreamy scenery was vividly cathartic, very mysterious and beautiful.
Then the protagonist Wang Yifan appeared, dressed in modern clothes, a handsome and dashing little fresh meat, he played in the mountains and saw a tall tree full of bright and attractive fruits.
Wang Yifan was puzzled by the sweet-looking fruits and began to climb up the tree.
He crawls and crawls and crawls!
He crawled for a long time.
When he looked down again, Wang Yifan jumped, and the clouds and fog under his feet were blind, and he couldn't see the ground anymore.
And the fruit he wanted to pick was close at hand, but he still couldn't get it.
He continued to climb, and from morning till dusk, the stars twinkled beside him, as if he could pluck them off with his hand.
At last he had plucked the strange and wonderful fruit in his hand, and when he had only picked one, the tree was suddenly gone, and he had come to a wonderful place......
This special effect is only about a little more than a minute, but the production is very exquisite, the scene is magnificent, wonderful and magnificent, and it is very eye-catching.
The characters in the special effects are also lifelike, and the whole child is undoubtedly the same as the real person.
Zhang Yimu looked at this special effect and was stunned.
This special effect is really amazing, how much manpower and material resources are spent on such a section!
Zhang Yimu estimates that this small special effect may cost more than two million US dollars.
Everyone else in the living room was stunned.
"It's really good, it's in place, Mr. Zheng, you are really willing to invest, just do it so well just by making a sample. Zhang Yimu said.
"It's all about making this film the best it can be! I want to tell the story in my book perfectly, and I want it better than anyone else. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
"Do you plan to make all the special effects of this movie according to this standard?" asked Zhang Yimu.
"Yes, it's all made to that standard. Zheng Zhefan nodded.
"This requires a lot of money!" Zhang Yimu shook his head.
There are quite a lot of special effects and stunt shots in the movie "He Came from the Mortal World", and if the special effects are made according to such a high standard, it will definitely cost tens of millions of dollars!
Just the special effects cost tens of millions, not only for the vast majority of film and television companies in China, but also for Hollywood's big-name film and television companies.
"I want to make this movie a classic!" Mr. Zheng said.
"The level of the editor seems to be very high, and he is a grandmaster-level editing master, so I can rest assured. I'll just be able to do my job with peace of mind. Zhang Yimu said.
After seeing the sample film provided by Zheng Zhefan, he gave up the final editing rights and special effects production rights of the film.
"Teacher Zhang, happy cooperation!" Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" Zhang Yimu also said with a smile, "At this exciting moment, I think we should celebrate with a bottle of champagne." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm going to get the champagne. Liu Ya smiled and stood up.
Liu Ya brought champagne and a few glasses.
The mustache and the others couldn't sit still.
I was so stiff with Zheng Zhefan just now, and now, people are talking and laughing with Zhang Yimu and have reached the final cooperation, and they are all a little ashamed.
These people stood up one after another and took their leave.
Zhang Yimu didn't keep them either, and let them leave.
Only Zheng Zhefan and Zhang Yimu were left in the house, and the three of them drank a little champagne, but the conversation was even stronger.
"Mr. Zheng, do you have any suggestions for the main actors?" Zhang Yimu asked Zheng Zhefan.
"I don't have too many thoughts for the time being, what does Mr. Zhang mean?" asked Zheng Zhefan.
Zhang Yimu groaned and said: "I think Zhang Yifan, this boy is not bad, and he can play the role of the actor Wang Yifan." ”
Zhang Yifan is a very popular little fresh meat actor in the past two years.
is not very old, only in his twenties, he looks very handsome, and he is very good at pretending to be cool, he has acted in one or two film and television dramas, and the role is not popular, but he is popular.
Zheng Zhefan has no good impression of these little fresh meat.
He didn't think Zhang Yifan's acting skills were anything powerful.
"Why Zhang Yifan?" asked Zheng Zhefan.
"This boy is still very malleable, and now he is very popular, has many fans in China, and has a great influence, if he is allowed to play the leading role, it will attract a lot of young audiences. Zhang Yimu is thinking about market returns.
Xiao Xianrou is popular with young people, and letting him play the leading role will attract a large number of fans to watch the film.
"Mr. Zhang's idea makes sense, since Mr. Zhang thinks he can, then choose Zhang Yifan as the leading actor. Zheng Zhefan said.
"Well, simply, I'll make a phone call and ask Zhang Yifan to come over and talk to him about the show! If he is interested, then settle down. Zhang Yimu said.
"Yes. Zheng Zhefan said.
Hearing Zheng Zhefan's promise, Zhang Yimu picked up his mobile phone, took out Zhang Yifan's mobile phone number, and dialed it out.
