The music is ever-changing, and after thousands of years of evolution, it has gradually derived many styles, just like Indian songs, before you hear the lyrics of the prelude alone, you already know that the song is produced in India, as well as Chinese style, rock, country and so on.

Different genres certainly sound different moods.

And the artistic conception of this nothing, if you want to describe it in words, it is indeed a little difficult, but you can understand it, just like the most used song in Hong Kong martial arts films "Men should be self-reliant", every time I hear this song, the picture that comes to mind is definitely the "Huang Feihong" series, and with the strong music, it seems that I have returned to that turbulent era, all of them are full of blood boiling, and they want to roar on the ground.

Home Alone is a Christmas family comedy movie, so the soundtrack doesn't need to be majestic or elegant, it just needs to be warm.

Huo Que's office has a set of audio-visual equipment, and when he has nothing to do, he will listen to the music of this world, or watch the movies of this world, although he is very busy during this time, but the top 50 movies on the IMBD of this world are basically finished, of course, there are those high-grossing commercial films, for a film practitioner, of course, you must first understand the market.

At this time, the music sounding in the stereo is calm and peaceful, and the thickness from the beginning of the gentle road behind the road is like a picture that can be unfolded, giving people a space for wireless reverie.

After listening to a tune, Huo Que watched Hanks again, this piece is very well controlled in terms of rhythm and artistic conception, and the most important thing is that it is very suitable for the scene at the end of "Home Alone", the whole family is reunited and the family is happy.

"Is that okay?" Hanks asked, with a deep confidence in his tone.

"Very good." This is Huo Que's heartfelt praise, Hanks is a genius in the field of music.

"That'll do." Hanks got up and turned off the music: "Call me when you cut out a clip that needs a soundtrack, and then I'll compose the music according to the scene." ”

"Thank you, Hanks."

"Don't say thank you!" Hanks got up and prepared to walk out of the office: "You're going to pay me." ”

………………

The movie is divided into two stages, the first is shooting, and the second is some post-production affairs, such as soundtrack, editing, and some movies also need special effects synthesis, so Huo Que has just been busy after implementing the soundtrack.

Editing, which can be called the most important part of the movie, Huo Que of course has to handle it himself.

In Hollywood, where movies are at their peak, the editing power is generally not in the hands of the director. Because there are dedicated editors for editing.

The meaning of the editor's solitary existence is because editing itself is an art, a profound knowledge, and a complex technique. How to arrange and combine the footage into a complete story requires years of experience and great skill of editors. In many cases, the editor's use of montage and the handling of details far exceed the director's own level of understanding of film editing. And the director often has his own obsession with the treatment of a certain paragraph of the film, similar to the authorities are obsessed, and the editor is the last hope to help the director get out of these "traps".

According to the normal process of Hollywood, first of all, the editor generally cannot appear on the set, he can only see the final footage. The maximum process is to prevent the decisions made by the director and the production team during the filming process from influencing the final editing of the film.

For example, when filming "Braveheart", Mel Gibson used a long shot with a super-large rocker arm and super-large scheduling in a war scene, claiming that this shot cost 300,000 yuan, and he himself was very proud to use it at the beginning. As a result, his editor Steven Rosenblum felt that the mood was not good, and used other shots, Gibson angrily asked where my 300,000 shots went, Steven said I didn't know that shot was so expensive, and that shot was not good enough, you see I cut it for you. Gibson was upset at first, but after watching the editor's version, he eventually admitted that his footage was dirty.

There are extreme examples, where editors don't even look at the script or storyboard, but instead make rough cuts based on their own understanding of the film and hand it over to the director or producer.

Just extreme examples.

Second, during the editing process of most films, the director sometimes sits next to the editor and sometimes does not stay in the editing room all the time. The distribution of rights between directors and editors also varies from person to person, and it is all based on tacit understanding, and there are no certain rules.

Some directors like to give power to the editor, and after the initial explanation of the intention, they will no longer make a sound, and only give some suggestions for modification at the end. Some don't even appear until the rough cut is complete.

Some directors like to completely control the editor, and the editor is his tool, but the editor will propose to deal with some details. In some cases, the director will even do it himself.

Most directors fall somewhere in between, working with the editor to complete the edit.

Where there is cooperation, there will be disagreements, and how to deal with disagreements is also a fairly flexible thing, in fact, it all depends on the mode of getting along with the director and the editor.

There is such a metaphor in the industry, the relationship between the director and the editor is like the relationship between husband and wife, which requires mutual trust and cooperation, but it is inevitably noisy and noisy.

Most big directors have the experience of slapping the table with editors, and the editor's responsibility is to tell the director his professional opinion and patiently work with the director to find the best solution.

Of course, not all editors are good-natured. However, most editors have a slightly better temper than directors, industry characteristics. It's also an interesting fact that many directors like to work with female editors.

In any case, it is rare for a director to edit on his own, because even the most talented directors will have blind spots in their work, and when it comes to the art of film, the editor as a pair of calm eyes can almost be said to be a must. Some directors are editors themselves, but they never edit their own films.

Photography, lighting, art, costumes, makeup, scenery, etc., all affect the artistic style of the film. It's about choosing and directing others to do it.

When have you ever seen a director dictating a lighting design on set? These artistic details were communicated to the DP in a previous preparation meeting, and the DP went to direct the gaffer to complete it. In the same way, the choice of editor is generally decided by the director himself. Each editor has his own style and strengths, and most directors generally have their own fixed editors, and the result of long-term cooperation is that the editor will have a deep understanding of the director's style, and the tacit understanding is that the director does not need to talk to edit and know how to cut, so many people work together for a lifetime (husband and wife).

Of course, sometimes studios assign editors, but this is not a completely mandatory measure. Even if it's the first time they're working together, professional directors and professional editors will find ways to communicate and collaborate with each other to bring out the director's artistic vision in the best possible way.

Of course, there are very few directors in the industry who are completely lazy, and after filming, they throw them to the company for post-production, and go on vacation......

The editing right of the movie is important, of course Huo Que understands that he must have deliberately added some of the things he wants to express when filming, of course, he will not hand over the editing right to others, because he is not at ease.

When he said that he would edit the film himself, Alex was strongly opposed, but he still insisted on editing it himself, for the simple reason that he believed he could cut it well, because the film he shot was just a remake, and even if he interspersed something in it, it would not affect the overall situation.
