Chapter 032: Post-production begins

"Very good, I announce the completion of the first season of Utopia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With Zhou Zihang's words, the scene immediately became lively, and Zhou Zihang was also very happy at this time.

"Okay, don't be so happy, it's only the first season, and I'll continue to shoot the second season starting tomorrow."

There is no way to do this, filming will continue, post-production will be carried out at the same time, sales will not be left behind, and the fast-paced work makes Zhou Zihang tired enough.

That night, Zhou Zihang, Zhao Baogang, and Kong Minghao were three.

plus Ouyang, who was introduced by Zhao Baogang, he is the person in charge of post-production. Yu Jie is also the person introduced by Zhao Baogang and is the later music director.

The five of them are together to discuss the post-production of the first season of Utopia.

Zhou Zihang said first: "Okay, let me say a few words first, do you have any questions about the post-editing Ouyang side?" ”

Ouyang shook his head, looked at the materials in his hand, and said, "Not for the time being, with the cooperation of the storyboard, everything is easy to say." ”

Zhao Baogang asked at this time: "Ouyang, there are fewer people in the team this time, how long will it take for the finished product to come out?" ”

"This... It will take about a month. ”

Zhou Zihang thought for a while, nodded and said: "We understand this, but the time is still as soon as possible, there is no money to return, and we can't shoot the second season." ”

"No, didn't you say today that tomorrow will start the filming of the second season?"

Listening to Kong Minghao's words, Zhou Zihang looked at the few people sitting there, and it was hard to say anything.

"There's nothing bad to say about this, tomorrow we are forced to start work, if the post-production cycle is too long, then it may cause a shortage of funds at any time, which is very dangerous."

Zhao Baogang said, looked at Ouyang again, and said, "So Ouyang, this time you will work overtime for me and do your best to shorten the time." ”

Ouyang nodded and said, "I know, when will the investment start in?" ”

Zhou Zihang continued his words and said: "It will start in a few days." ”

Generally, when the investment starts, it means that the post-production has almost been completed, and the broadcast permit is about to come down.

However, some are different, such as this year's "Zhuxian Qingyunzhi", a big drama like "Zhuxian Qingyunzhi", a high-profile IP, when the project was established, the broadcaster had already been negotiated.

Even in order to compress the profit cycle, the drama that was completed in April insisted on choosing to broadcast it on Mango Satellite TV in the summer file, which seemed very urgent.

When the Utopia project was established, many TV stations also contacted Zhao Baogang to finalize the broadcast time and schedule, but this time they chose the online platform, which was different.

Zhou Zihang asked again: "Brother, have you contacted several singers?" ”

Zhao Baogang nodded and said, "The appointment is at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Deng Ziqi will be in place." I met with Park Shu in the afternoon, and in terms of soundtrack, it should be possible to arrange these two days. ”

At this time, Yu Mingsheng said loudly: "Director, I have seen the soundtrack requirements, which include a lot of songs, and it is very complicated to make. Isn't it possible to reduce some? ”

Zhou Zihang said: "This is not negotiable, the song list I gave you must be completed, but there are only two that need to be remade." One is "Ordinary Road", and the other is "AINY". Because these two pieces are used as background soundtracks. ”

Yu Jie listened to Zhou Zihang's words, thought about it for a while, nodded, and said, "Then I understand, then other tunes don't need to spend too much time." ”

"It's still a little bit of time, because I'm just giving the name of the song above, where to start and where to end, I need the opinion of you professionals."

Yu Jie listened to Zhou Zihang's words and said, "Of course I understand this. ”

"Alright, that's all I have to say, let's start work tomorrow."

......

Early the next morning, Zhou Zihang got up, and Kong Minghao also came to Zhou Zihang's room at this time.

"Zihang, am I really going to the scene today?"

Zhou Zihang smiled and said, "How many more times do you want me to say it?" I don't have time for the past few days, so you can help me take care of the scene. ”

Kong Minghao was a little embarrassed and said, "This... I'm afraid I'll mess things up. ”

Zhou Zihang shook his head and said: "This will definitely not, you go to the scene to listen to their opinions, if it was before, I was really afraid that you would mess up, but now with a team, everything is not a problem." ”

Saying that, Zhou Zihang had prepared everything and said, "Okay, let's go to work, I will also rush to the airport soon, and I have to pick her up." ”

"Who? Deng Ziqi? ”

Zhou Zihang nodded, and said as he walked outside: "Of course, otherwise there will be anyone." ”

"But I saw that someone had already gone, and I was still discussing this just now."

Zhou Zihang turned his head to look at Kong Minghao and asked, "Who went?" ”

"It seems to be Teacher Yu Jie."

"That's right, brother, how can you let a big director pick up people? I arranged for him to go. ”

Looking at Zhao Baogang who came over, Zhou Zihang said strangely: "Brother, you didn't go back yesterday?" ”

Zhao Baogang said with a smile: "Of course, I can give him a lot of advice on post-production, don't underestimate me." But I have to tell you, the most important thing for you right now is that you need to arrange a formal post-production venue, otherwise it will be very inconvenient. ”

Of course, Zhou Zihang knew about this, and said: "I will arrange Luo Jiale to do this matter, he flew back to Changsha yesterday, but later in this season, it still has to be completed in this hotel." ”

Zhao Baogang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother, according to your meaning, I need to go to Changsha with you?" Isn't your company headquarter located in Kyoto? ”

"Of course, my company's headquarters are not in Kyoto, but why are you coming with me?"

"Brother, don't forget, I'm the investor and director of the second part, I don't have a team now, I have to be tied to you."

Zhou Zihang was even more strange, and asked: "Brother, I know that you resigned, but this project is guaranteed by a contract, and it is the cooperation between Xin Baoyuan and the new era, not you." ”

"But I'm the director, and the director has to control the shooting and then produce the finished product, and it has nothing to do with me later."

Hearing this, Zhou Zihang knew something different, so he said to Zhao Baogang: "Brother, come to my room, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Then, Zhou Zihang invited Zhao Baogang into his room, and said to Kong Minghao: "Okay, you go to the scene, by the way, inform Xu Lu to come here at 10 o'clock." ”

Not to mention that Kong Minghao rushed to the scene, after Zhou Zihang and Zhao Baogang entered the house and sat down, Zhou Zihang immediately said: "Brother, do you want to take revenge?" ”

"Revenge? How do you say that? ”

Zhou Zihang stared at Zhao Baogang and said: "It's very simple, isn't the second part of the struggle nothing to do with us?" What happens if the quality is acceptable? ”

"This is absolutely not good, brother, you have to understand, I am the director, I can't smash my own signboard."

Zhao Baogang listened to Zhou Zihang's words and looked very impatient, which was also his other bottom line.

If the quality of the second part is very poor, then director Zhao Baogang's reputation will be affected the most.

"Brother, you have to understand one thing, even if you shoot the struggle utopia to perfection, what benefits will you get?"

Zhao Baogang was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "Although I can't get any actual benefits, but when it is broadcast, I am the director who hangs out, can I ruin my reputation?" ”

For people like Zhao Baogang, this is still very important. At this age, how many times can you come out and do it?

If the boat capsizes here, it's really not worth it.

And Zhou Zihang didn't think so, and said: "What if the second season is directed by you? Do the best in quality. ”

"Season 2? Do you want to hire me to direct? ”

Zhou Zihang nodded and said, "Yes, I can just devote all my energy to the martial arts plan, and the quality of your director proves your ability." Besides, do you think that in such a situation, Xin Baoyuan will still choose the network platform? ”

"What do you mean, brother?"

The more Zhao Baogang listened at this time, the more confused he became, and he didn't understand what Zhou Zihang was planning at all.

Zhou Zihang smiled slightly and said: "According to what you said, now Xin Baoyuan's funds are tight, so he will go all out to seek benefits, with your director's name, plus the broadcast of the first two seasons, you must be able to sell it at a good price, right?" ”

Zhao Baogang nodded and agreed with Zhou Zihang's statement.

"So in this way, the benefits they get have nothing to do with you, brother, so why make a wedding dress for them?"
