Chapter 40: The Sea and the Sky

The completion of the filming of the movie does not mean that it is all OK, the editing behind it is the most important item in the post-production work of the film, and different editing techniques can even determine the quality of a movie. The combination of lenses and lenses, the selection of the length of the shot, etc., each step is different, and the resulting movie effect will be completely different.

Therefore, the crucial right of "final editing rights" has always been firmly controlled by Hollywood companies, and only a few big directors can enjoy the final editing rights.

In terms of editing, although Chen Tian has an original work that can be compared as a reference, he still has to leave it to a professional film editor to complete the work. Professional editors, if they can understand the director's intentions, will be able to better grasp the rhythm of the whole film, which is not the same as Chen Tiandu, a layman who has no comparison with the original but can't edit.

The editors selected by DreamWorks are naturally the best in the industry, and they started work after communicating with Chen Tiandu.

In Chen Tiandu's mind, an excellent editor is not how high the level is, but the understanding of the director's intentions, and the higher the understanding of the director's intentions, the better the editors.

After all, the director is the soul of a movie as a whole, and no one can understand the demands of a movie better than the director, so even if it is a bad director, the editor should follow his requirements and the director's understanding of the movie, so as to complete the film editing. Otherwise, no matter how high the level of editing is, if it doesn't match the director at all, the cut will still be a bad movie.

But after all, you can't have it both ways, and sometimes you have to choose between a movie cut and the box office.

Many studios in the U.S. have the ability to travel globally, and in order for a film to be released around the world, some local editing is essential. It is inevitable that some people will not be able to watch all the movies. In this case, dVd may be of great help.

Of course, there are surprises.

Some master editors can also intersperse editing through guΓ² to cut out a movie that was not very good and turn it into a classic cut film. -- These are only a few, at least not in The Sixth Sense.

On the first day of post-editing of "The Sixth Sense", something went wrong.

The editor worked for a while and went straight to Katzenberg, "Are you kidding, this is already something that has been cut, and you let me handle the second one?" ”

Katzenberg slapped his forehead and said to himself, "That's true." After another explanation, he told him that this was the original film without any editing. The editor was still skeptical, and it wasn't until Chen Tiandu arrived to carefully check the film that he dispelled his doubts. But in the face of such a small number of film lenses, I was still a little stunned. He has been editing for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange director.

The post-production work is boring, editing, soundtrack, etc., Chen Tian is really not worried about others messing with his films, and he tirelessly runs to DreamWorks every day, although he does not have much say in these aspects, and he is often angry, he still persists.

Under the eaves, people naturally have a lot of contempt, and he treats them indifferently for the sake of his ideals.

I was busy working in the dark for a while, and it wasn't until after the Oscars that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, it was still the world of "Titanic".

At the Oscars, the moment when Cameron shouted "I am the king of the world" was indeed very shocking. But then the American media fried the pot, some praised him, and more blamed.

But it doesn't matter, people don't care at all. His achievements are still unmatched, and the film continues to create miracles. Facts speak louder than words, and even those who have contempt and complain will never stand out at this time.

However, in view of the fact that the box office of "Titanic" has exceeded 500 million, it has shown a weak attitude, DreamWorks still decided not to change the schedule, and "Saving Private Ryan" will continue to be released in May.

There are many reasons for this, but the biggest one is that he is Spielberg. "Anyone can make the schedule, but he can't."

Vin Diesel also managed to take on a role in a new play, a movie called "The Iron Giant". He gradually got mixed up, and finally didn't have to go back to the era of being a bodyguard and salesman.

On this day, several DreamWorks executives entered the company's screening room, ready to enjoy a movie.

Spielberg sits in the middle, he is the most film-savvy in the entire DreamWorks, and he has the ultimate natural voice in appreciation. Chen Tiandu sat quietly in a corner, watching the story unfold slowly on the big screen.

His "Sixth Sense" is very different from the original, after all, even the protagonist has changed, and the things he performs are naturally different. But the essence of the film has not changed, and some aspects are even more refined.

Charlize Theron and Kate Bel Sekin are all great beauties, and with his words, the combination of handsome guys and beauties is still very pleasing to the eye.

After the movie is played, there seems to be a cold air flowing in the screening hall when watching the movie, with a smooth rhythm, suspenseful pictures, and warm pictures, so that everyone can always keep their eyes on it.

The mystery has been left to the end to be revealed, and there is a joy that makes people clear the fog and see the sun. It wasn't until the last five minutes, when everyone saw that Dr. Malcolm was actually a fool, that it really gave goosebumps to the first look.

The unexpected ending of the movie, even if these high-level executives are sharp-eyed, is impeccable.

But after the movie was screened, there was still no reaction in the screening hall.

Vin Diesel thought the movie was good, but when he was about to applaud, he was affected by the strange atmosphere in the screening room and put down his hand in embarrassment. He was confused. "Isn't it pretty?"

"Bang bang."

At this moment, suddenly there were several applause in front of him, and Spielberg was the first to applaud, and then led the whole hall to applaud together.

Vin Diesel, who was sitting with Chen Tiandu, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Chen Tiandu, "Congratulations buddy, you succeeded, a very good movie." ”

"Thanks, and credit to you, man." Chen Tiandu smiled.

……

When he walked out of the DreamWorks building again, the pressure on his shoulders suddenly lightened. With a smile on his face, he looked at who was pleasing to the eye. A black guy who passed by and danced on the street was rewarded with a hundred dollars.

The black guy's reaction was very bad, he grabbed the banknote and stared at it with wide eyes to carefully distinguish the authenticity, and at the end he switched back and forth between the banknote and Chen Tiandu with a look of disbelief.

Chen Tiandu didn't mind this at all, and strode forward.

If there is a Bgm at this time, he thinks Beyond's "sea and sky" is just right.

"How many times, in the face of cold eyes and ridicule, I have never given up the ideal in my heart...... Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, I will be afraid that one day I will fall, I will be abandoned and anyone can be abandoned, how can I be afraid that one day only you and me, still free self will always sing my song and travel thousands of miles......"

When he got home, he immediately told SΓΉ Kate the news and shared it with her.

"You're not bragging, those big guys really all applaud the movie?" Kate was still a little unconvinced.

"Hey!" Chen Tiandu was dissatisfied: "Fan also went with me, I don't believe you can ask him." ”

Kate laughed and took the initiative to kiss him, "How can you not believe it, I'm just too surprised." Great, dear. Since everyone says that movies are good, they will definitely pay more attention to movies. By the way, did your film send it to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) for review? What are the levels? It won't be nnetbsp; The NC-17 rating is the level that prohibits audiences under the age of 17 from watching, and it is also the highest alert level, and most film companies are reluctant to let their movies stand at this level, which means losing the market for teenagers and children.

And horror films, most of them hovering at this level and the slightly inferior R rating.

Chen Tiandu smiled mysteriously and said: "You would never have thought that it is a PG-13 level, and even children can go to the cinema to watch it." ”

Kate paused for a long time before she cheered. She was also happy for him, and then she thought of something, and said with chagrin, "Oh, alas. Haley is not yet 13 years old, but he can't go to the cinema. I'll have to sue him. With that, he went to call.

"He can watch the tape." Chen Tiandu said lazily, and called Kong Yiji, who had returned to China, to report the good news, but in exchange for Kong Yiji's response, "Oh, keep dreaming, come back early to help me get a company if it's okay over there." ”
