[Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for rewards, ask for collections!] 】

After returning to the capital, Hu Yifei did not rest, and took Pang Ren to make up his footage in front of Tiananmen Square, and then took Wang Xun to Hong Kong non-stop.

"In fact, there is no need to go to Hong Kong to find a hotel room for this shot, the effect is the same." Zhao Xiaoding persuaded, "There's no need to spend more money. ”

Hu Yifei disagreed, "There are signboards on the streets of Hong Kong that appear in the camera, so that people can know that they are in Hong Kong at a glance, which is of course different from finding a random hotel room to shoot." What's more, millions have been spent, and I don't care about the ticket money. ”

It's easy to go to Hong Kong to film, and if a local film company in Hong Kong wants to film, it just pulls a road closure barrier on the street and leaves after filming. By the time the police came, they would have already moved away.

It's just that when you enter the port, the checkpoints are checked one by one, and the eyes of the security guards are staring at you, which makes people very uncomfortable. These stinky feet are all looking at people in their nostrils, thinking that they are all from the mainland with the virus, "Hit the street!" ”

It's just a few simple shots, and it took him and Zhao Xiaoding half a day to get it done. After the filming, Wang Xun still looked reluctant, as if he wanted to stay in Hong Kong and take a turn, but unfortunately Hu Yifei didn't have this idea at all, although he came to Hong Kong for the first time, but the enthusiasm for travel had long been lost by the security checks.

Hurried to hurry, and flew back in the evening.

In this way, all the shots of this movie are truly over.

The next day, he got up early in the morning. I ran into the park across the street from my house and exercised for half an hour, and came home with a stinky sweat. After taking a hot bath, I came to the company refreshed.

When I returned to Nuoda's company again, it was sparsely populated. Han Mi is still in the crew of "Flight Attendant", and other people in the company are also busy with their own work, and they are alone for a while. After staying idle for a long time, I felt like I was in a panic, and my mind was full of movies. Maybe he was born to work hard, so he simply continued to work.

The school didn't want to go either, and he had officially submitted a withdrawal application to the school.

In fact, after I was reborn, I had the idea of giving up the college entrance examination. If he comes according to his own heart, I am afraid that there is no such thing as a university. So he doesn't have any regrets about not going to college now, and with his current situation, it is indeed not suitable to stay in school anymore.

Liu Qingqing, who was just attending classes at school, suddenly received Hu Yifei's withdrawal application from the head of the department, and was a little caught off guard. The school's opinion, of course, does not want Hu Yifei to drop out. handed it over to Liu Qingqing, naturally hoping to persuade him.

"Hu Yifei, what's the matter with you dropping out?" As soon as class ended, Liu Qingqing made a phone call in a hurry.

"I'm busy. You know my situation, it's the same whether you go to school or not. ”

"You~!" Liu Qingqing was angry, "How can this be the same." Ten years of cold window, why do you give up college so easily. You...... I'm so angry, I can't tell you on the phone, where are you, I'll go find you now. ”

“…… in the company. ”

From shooting to release, a finished film goes through at least five creative processes: the first is the screenwriter, the second is the director and actor, the third is the cinematographer, the fourth is editing, and the fifth is sound synthesis.

Editing is naturally the top priority, and different editing techniques can even determine the quality of a movie.

The film footage, hundreds or even hundreds of hours of film footage, is selected, assembled, and then compiled into a smooth film, and the editing can be said to be the second creation of the whole work. The combination of lenses and lenses, the sequence of lenses before and after, the selection of the length of the shots, etc., each step is different, and the resulting movie effect will be completely different.

If it's a blockbuster, you also need to consider dubbing, soundtrack, color, and a whole host of other things. Therefore, the general post-production work is very cumbersome, and the more beautiful the results come up, the more time it takes to process.

Hu Yifei's last work was a TV series, and the editing requirements were not so high, so he did it himself, and he barely made ends up after the finished product. But the requirements of the movie are different from the TV series, it only has more than 90 minutes to express a complete story. Although he also had an original work in his mind that he could refer to and compare, he still hoped that there would be a professional editor with high quality and technical expertise to complete the work together.

Because Hu Yifei knows that if he can understand the director's intentions, he will be able to better grasp the rhythm of the whole film, which is not the same as a novice who has no original comparison but no editing experience.

A good film allows the audience to immerse the audience in the story, the emotions and fate of the characters, and completely lose sight of the traces of editing, which is the supreme effort of the editor, and editing is the sign that distinguishes the film from photography, drama, performance, literature, and finally declares itself as an independent art form.

Some people say that in this era of digital video cameras, not necessarily more and greater directors will be born, but will definitely give birth to a generation of great editors, the reason is simple, when anyone can shoot hundreds of hours of footage at every turn, without a pair of wise eyes and a pair of quick and decisive hands, any potential classic may become a passing cloud, visual garbage.

However, a good editor is hard to find.

There are probably a dozen of the greatest directors in the world today, but there are only a few of the greatest film editors.

In this industry, Hu Yifei also has his own idol, Hollywood's most famous editing master, Walter Murch.

He is a Hollywood "godfather" who has created miracles in the dark editing room, of course, not only because he created the legend of the "Godfather" trilogy for Coppola, but also because he has edited countless classics. In the absence of editors as "invisible artists", Walter Murch is the only editor in the world who frequently appears in people's cultural vision.

Of course, it's useless to talk about it now, Hu Yifei doesn't have the ability to find Murchi. What he needs now is not a big-name editor, nor how skilled the editor is, but one who understands his intentions and has enough tacit understanding.

What are the ones in China?

The answer is no, I don't know. Maybe in a few years, there will be many choices, such as Zhang Yifan, the "Jiang Wen Imperial Editor" in the future, he still knows a little bit about it, but people don't know where it is now, he instinctively abandons the domestic editors at this stage.

So the question is, do you still have to go to Hong Kong to pay a high price to hire people?

Needless to say, the importance of editing in a movie is needless to say, in fact, most directors are editors, except for some cutting-edge directors, or directors like Wong Kar-wai who are too lazy to care about editing. Because even if their skills can't keep up, but the overall grasp of the movie, whether to go or stay, and other issues are also within the director's responsibility.

Hong Kong used to have the "four scissorhands", they are "Hong Kong's first scissor" Mai Zishan, "versatile editor" Hu Dawei, "low-key editor" Jiang Quande, "smooth heavenly master" Zhang Yaozong, it is they and their apprentices and grandchildren who make the shots in the movie compact and smooth, and the spiritual power is killed.

There are also today's authorities Chen Qihe, Li Dongquan, Lin An'er and others.

These masters have been convincing through countless works. Hu Yifei wants to, but he also has to consider a lot of problems. Whether these people are willing to come to the mainland to help him, a penniless person, edit movies is secondary, and the difference in cultural background determines that they can't cut what he wants, and you can't let a very Westernized person edit Chinese stories. Please pay the gold medal editor, it is estimated that the asking price is not cheap. Please, in general, he didn't want to.

And the "Crazy Stone" editing takes up a large part of the film - no one knows what he wants better than himself, and he struggles to do it himself.

If you really want to do it yourself, he won't have stage fright.

The material for the whole movie is still quite small, only about 200 minutes, which is already a pitiful amount in ordinary movies.

This is due to the fact that he has the original work to refer to and compare, and most of the shots are shot according to the original film, avoiding many unnecessary reshoots.

The era of the domestic shake film has passed, and the current stage of film editing technology has been on par with the international level in terms of equipment, and the film is directly scanned into a digital signal by the negative, and then stored in the hard disk, edited in the machine, and then done special effects, after everything is synthesized in the computer, the finished film is finally made into a copy.

……

When Liu Qingqing's fan rushed to the company, Hu Yifei had been working in the dark editing room for a while.

He leaned forward, his hands propped up on the table, his expression extremely focused, and he watched intently at the footage that had just been cut together on the monitor.

The door was opened, and before Liu Qingqing could speak, Hu Yifei had already shouted: "You are here, come and help me see which of these two sets of lenses is better." ”

When his eyes touched Hu Yifei's focused and serious eyes, Liu Qingqing was suddenly depressed.

I found that the call I had prepared was completely useless.

depressed: "Do you know how to edit, don't mess around alone, but cut the film badly." ”

"Am I that unreliable?" Hu Yifei said: "The difference between the No. 135 lens and the No. 136 lens is quite big, but they can be used in the movie, but the effect is opposite." I'm a little uncertain, come and help me see. ”

"Where?" Liu Qingqing unconsciously fell into a working state, and when the picture was replayed, she suddenly frowned, "You don't conform to the editing logic like this, the picture is turned too fast, and you are dazzled." ”

Hu Yifei said patiently: "This is what I want." Did you know that there is a director in Hollywood named Christopher Nolan? ”

Liu Qingqing said: "I know, the director who filmed "Fragments of Memory". ”

Hu Yifei said seriously: "His films rely very heavily on editing. It's like making a maze puzzle, and every screen switch is changing the labyrinth passages. And this kind of editing is also the charm of his films. My films are not so complicated, but they are also full of clues, and it is necessary to break the mold and create a new logic on my own. ”

Liu Qingqing understood what he meant, and said: "Is it through quick editing and lens configuration to achieve the effect of overlapping clues, which looks more like an MV or commercial?" Well, I admit that what you say has a point. So these two sets of shots, if you ask me which one is better, I can't answer. I'd suggest you finish the rest of the editing before going back to the shot you've been hesitant about. ”

Hu Yifei's eyes lit up, "This is also a method, worthy of being from Nanjia." ”

So he buried his head in the editing again, Liu Qingqing still wanted to talk about dropping out, but now he can't say it.

sighed, and had to wait for Hu Yifei to finish talking.

didn't think about it, Hu Yifei worked all day, and even ate a box lunch and sent it directly into the editing room.

In the end, she failed to achieve the purpose of the trip, and just asked him to change the withdrawal application to a suspension application.

Perhaps, in her heart, she didn't want Hu Yifei to leave her class.
