Chapter 130: Internal Screening
The advantage of writing the script and making the film at his own expense is that he can be arbitrary, and no one around Liang Baoguang will dictate him, so "Burst Drummer" is edited very quickly, and the outsourced soundtrack studio is also very neat, and he came up with a complete work after two weeks.

As soon as the film was completed, Liang Bao held an internal preview screening in the movie screening hall in the Jade Bird Film Studio building. The auditorium was built to the size of a normal cinema auditorium, with 200 seats and a 600-inch screen, and almost all of the main creators were invited to watch "The Burst Drummer," which had been the result of months of hard work.
Ian McKellen and Freddie Heimer both went back to the UK after filming, which made Liang Baoguang feel a little regretful, "Burst Drummer" is a feature film, but in fact, the main characters are the two of them, and their absence makes this internal test screening seem incomplete. Fortunately, Natalie Portman has been in New York and came over as soon as she received the invitation, and her contribution to the film was also very large.
When the lights dimmed, everyone in the screening room tacitly stopped talking and stared intently at the big screen in front of them, on which a small blue bird was flying lightly. The Blue Bird Film Studio hung up the label, and Liang Baoguang asked the special effects department to make a title according to his idea, which is simple but very eye-catching, and it is easy for people to remember. This is the first time that the logo of Bluebird Film Studio has appeared on the big screen, and although it is not a real movie theater, it is obviously more memorable to show it in the screening room of its own building.
Half of the people in the Blue Bird Film Studio were brought by Liang Baoguang from South Korea, and the other half were dug by Yun Jingyi from other film companies. Only a very small number of people who later applied for a job at the Blue Bird Film Studio had their eyes shining, because this was not only the starting point of the Blue Bird, but also their starting point.
The feature film begins, and the movie is the New York that everyone is familiar with, and it is the people they have been with for months day and night, but everything is so different when you see it through a big screen. The story was shattered in their hands, and when Liang Baoguang pieced it together as a whole, it produced a powerful force, a power that could influence people's hearts.
100 minutes of life, after the end is an unfinished sigh.
"Excellent work, I dare say it will amaze the world when it comes out next year. Natalie Portman was really shocked, if "This Man is from Earth" is still a little pale, and "Miryang" still has a little phase, then "Burst Drummer" already has a grandmaster bearing, you must know that this is only Liang Baoguang's third work.
Camera advancement, picture structure, plot development, contradiction creation, relationship combing, etc., Liang Baoguang's handling of every detail is full of maturity, and this maturity obviously does not come from his directing skills. One law is all laws, Liang Baoguang is quite old-fashioned, in the words of Mr. Zhou Taofen, "there is always a reasonable attitude", so even if he takes a detour when filming a movie, he will not go too far, he can always turn back.
Hearing Natalie Portman's praise Liang Baoguang is very calm, this movie is naturally excellent for professionals to watch, but the North American audience is very uncertain whether to buy it, this "Burst Drummer" is not high and low, but it is really not a popular type. I know it in my heart, but it doesn't mean that Liang Baoguang has to make changes, he is not a person who likes to meet others by nature, and he has his own insistence on the movie, "Don't praise too much, I know that there are still many problems with the movie." ”
"How long is your "Burst Drummer"?" Natalie Portman only felt that the plot was very tight during the movie, and she turned on the lights in the screening room until she came back to her senses, she originally thought it was an illusion, but now she looked down at her watch and found that it seemed that only about an hour and a half had passed, "Is 90 minutes of movie too short?"
"It's not 90 minutes, it's 105 minutes. "I did the editing myself, and of course Liang Baoguang knew the length of the movie.
Natalie Portman couldn't help but open her mouth wide, Liang Baoguang's appearance was too maverick in her eyes, and no other director would say this with his expression at this time.
Film directors have a common problem: as long as they are the ones who lead the editing, the length of the film tends to be very long. Every shot is like a director's child, if they don't feel necessary, they won't shoot at all in the first place, and since they are filmed, they naturally won't want to throw it away, so the fight between the director and the editor in the editing room is simply a fixed program, one has to keep everything, and the other has to cut everything.
Although I don't know how many shots Liang Baoguang took, Natalie Portman felt that there would definitely be no less, and she was there when a large amount of film was sent into the editing room. Movies under the Hollywood system are normally about 140 minutes, and sometimes the director will stuff strange things into the film if the length is not enough, compared to "The Burst Drummer", which has more than half an hour less weight, "Your own film is cut so hard?"
"The movie is not as long as possible, otherwise everyone will go to watch the TV series. "I don't care what others think of Liang Baoguang, anyway, he himself just likes to carve carefully to remove the turnips, if the master who carves jade feels sorry for the scraps, then simply don't do this business," You have also watched my movie, the overall atmosphere is more depressing, if the overall time of the movie is too long, the audience will have a hard time watching it. ”
"No wonder you can succeed, just this sober mind other directors can't envy. Natalie Portman regretted a little, she and Liang Baoguang were in France during the Cannes Film Festival, and after discussing the script, she once said that she wanted to join the production team of the film, and it was okay to invest in him out of her pocket, but because of Liang Baoguang's refusal and she was too busy at the time, she gave up, and now I think about it at that time, I should have been more resolute.
"Success, I'm just on the road. Liang Baoguang showed the most classic century-old run-hair-style smile.
The rating, registration and other people from their own companies did it, and the work of distribution was handed over to the Weinstein brothers, and the propaganda offensive did not need to start, so Liang Baoguang was idle all of a sudden. He has no plans to stay in the United States, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, he needs to go back to Seoul, and he wants to have dinner with Yun Jingyi before leaving.
"What's so good about that little place in Korea, you father and son are running there with a bang. Yun Jingyi was very dissatisfied with Liang Baoguang's plan to go back to Seoul, she didn't accompany her for a few days when she was in New York, and now she is leaving again, "It's understandable that he is lying there, but what are you kid for, Johnson and Daddario can't keep you?"
Liang Baoguang went to Scarlett Johansson's apartment every once in a while, and the mother must know about it, and his photo with Alexandra Daddario is often seen in the newspaper, and everyone knows that Yun Jingyi doesn't have so much to avoid in front of her son, she can say whatever she wants.
"Look at what you said, I'm here to deal with things, not there to enjoy life. "Liang Baoguang really didn't go back to Seoul to play, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the first big festival for Koreans, and it is more important than the Spring Festival, so every year at this time, the New Life Group will hold a general meeting to distribute benefits. The Mid-Autumn Festival, which is only once a year, is the best time to win people's hearts, and Liang Baoguang, as Liang Gesheng's only son, is irreplaceable, and his role if he can be present cannot be underestimated.
"Cut, what important things can a bunch of uncles over there have, and you don't need to stare at the project you sniped at Microsoft recently?" Yun Jingyi was very opposed when she first heard Liang Baoguang say that she wanted to snipe at Microsoft, because she felt that there was no chance at all, but now she happily admits that she was wrong, and her son's vision is better than that of her mother.
"As long as the general direction is good, you can't lose money here, and besides, don't you still have a mother who is in charge of the Chinese army. Yun Jingyi is also an MBA graduate of five major business schools, and he can still keep an eye on a fund when he has already arranged a plan, "I'll be back before Christmas, don't worry." ”
Yun Jingyi's brows furrowed, Christmas is still two months away, "It seems that you have to find a woman to let you take care of it, those little girls in Korea are very powerful, they actually call you so much, the two little girls who came last time are right, I'll call Tae-hee when I turn around and ask her to take good 'care'." ”
"Mom, can't you let me live a quiet life for a few days?" Liang Baoguang had a headache at the thought of going back to Seoul to face that Nuna, Scarlett Johansson and him were just FriendswithBenefits in the matter of Alexandra Daddario, and Kim Tae-hee didn't know how to get mad. Rabbits shouldn't eat the grass next to the nest, Liang Baoguang now regrets not being at the beginning, if Yun Jingyi goes around fanning the flames again, he will be even more happy, "You are my own mother." ”
"Do you still know that I am your own mother?" Yun Jingyi slapped the table and glared at Liang Baoguang with horizontal eyebrows, "When people are twenty-four or five years old, someone has taken off their singles, and some people have taken off poverty, you are good, just like Teddy who only took off the reins, if you really have my mother in your heart, you will get married and have a child quickly, and then I will care if you go to Seoul or the second time." ”
"Mom, don't push me. "Liang Baoguang has never considered such a thing as marriage.
"What did I force you to do, didn't I force you?" Yun Jingyi snorted.
"Well, I remember that there is something going on at the company. Liang Baoguang suddenly looked straight, pretended to pick up his mobile phone and looked at it twice, and then prepared to escape.
"Virtue. ”
