The speed of editing depends on the amount of film used to shoot the film, and the one or two hour movie you see in the cinema is actually made up of many clips. It's like the movie has several versions is a truth.

To give a simple example, Ang Lee's "Color. There are many different versions of "Ring", due to the censorship system in the mainland, some of the exposing scenes in this film have been cut, while in the open Hong Kong, the film is basically the first version, and in some countries, a few plots in the play are also cut.

Although the versions are different, the plot is the same, they all tell the story of a college girl who seduces a traitor and later falls in love with a traitor. But everyone who has watched this film in the mainland is interested in the Hong Kong release version, because that is the version that Ang Lee wants to show people, whether it is the nudity or the perverted behavior inside, it is actually to set off the plot.

Huo Que knew the pictures needed for the release of "Home Alone", so when filming, he basically didn't waste any film. Of course, apart from him, there is no director in the world who dares to be like him, and he already knows the version to be released on the eve of filming, and he will shoot some scenes longer and more angles, so that he can provide more choices when editing.

For example, Huo Que was known as the fast gunner Steven in his previous life. Spielberg, he doesn't waste film when filming, maybe he has a very strong sense of the picture in his mind, so when he shoots, he basically shoots what he wants to shoot, which will save a lot of film costs and reduce a lot of work for editors.

Of course, it's not that a slow director just doesn't have a sense of picture in his head, just like James Cameron, he made movies completely on film, and when he shot "Terminator 2", he shot and processed more than a million feet of film, and the final release was far less than 1% of it.

When Huo Que filmed the movie, it was very fast, so fast that the staff couldn't believe it. Therefore, it is also very convenient and fast in editing, and even he is not editing at all, but splicing, splicing those messy pictures into a movie.

The chief director of a movie is the director, but it is obviously impossible for the director to do everything in a film alone, Huo Que is responsible for editing, and Alex has begun to arrange the promotion of the film on the company's side, as well as the design of subtitles, these messy things Huo Que just asked, and then he didn't care much.

Huo Que has been in the company for more than a month, in addition to editing movies, there is also discussing with Hanks which link to use which music, and in the later production project, Huo Que is not at all easier than the shooting scene, and even more boring and tired.

As the clock ticks into July, coastal Santa Monica doesn't enjoy the coolness of the sea breeze, and the heat makes people want to go out.

The editing of "Home Alone" has been completed, even if it is a promotional film, it has been cut out, but Huo Que's speed does not mean that others are fast, Hanks is a madman at work, but he still hasn't finished the music of the whole film, during this period, Huo Que basically finished the post-production of the movie.

For example, removing the noise of the film, and the dubbing of the actors without live recordings. Some places that need special effects are handed over to special effects companies, such as the snow at the end of the movie, these are all things that need special effects to make Zuò, Huo Que passed two days at the beginning, and then he didn't go over, but handed over the matter to Alice to deal with, her hobby is animated movies, and she has also worked special effects, so she will not be worse than Huo Que on the scene.

On this day, Huo Que came to the company and walked straight into Alex's office, Alex is also very busy these days, although he believes that Huo Que can make a money-making movie, but before the movie is released, his heart is hanging, so during this time he has been looking for a relationship, or looking for a channel to promote "Home Alone".

The fermentation of "This Man is from Earth" on the Internet has skyrocketed Huo Que's fame, if this movie is made by a middle-aged person, it may not cause much repercussions, but the person who made this movie is still a student who has just graduated from film school, so it has received a lot of attention. Alex seized on this and gave Home Alone a good promotion.

knocked on the door twice, and Huo Que pushed the door directly in.

Alex is still holding a cigar, probably because he has a lot of things to worry about during this time and looks a little old.

"How long will it take to finish the movie?" Alex saw Huo Que coming in and asked directly. The two of them were already familiar with each other, so they didn't have too much politeness, and if they had anything, they went straight to the point, so as not to waste time.

"It will definitely be done before October, and I have already cut the first version, but there are special effects and music matching, which will be discussed after Hanks has finished making all the music, and then we will discuss the matching, which is a very lengthy process." Huo Que sat down opposite Alex and said.

"Let's set the release time, I'll make specific arrangements here." Alex came to Huo Que today for this matter.

Movies are not put on the screen after filming, but a good release date needs to be set, because different films are aimed at different people, so the release time will be different.

Just like the unique Chinese New Year file in China, Jackie Chan's "Red Fan Zone" in 1995 was the first film to be introduced to Chinese mainland under the name of "Chinese New Year film", and the box office revenue that year was second only to the Hollywood blockbuster "True Lies". In 1998, the famous director Feng Xiaogang filmed the first Chinese New Year film "Party A and Party B" in Chinese mainland, opening the Chinese New Year film market in Chinese mainland.

Since then, the Chinese New Year file has become a must for directors, and Feng Xiaogang has also become synonymous with the domestic New Year file.

There are also summer files, which generally refer to the movie schedule from June 1 to August 31 every year. The primary audience is a student audience aged 4-24. The term "summer file" originated from the release of American director Spielberg's famous work "Jaws" on June 20, 1975. Since then, every year, major overseas film companies have given priority to the film schedule in June and July, and the summer file has also been formed.

And the schedule of "Home Alone" has been set at the beginning of filming, this is a movie specially prepared for Christmas, with comedy elements, a happy ending, and the time when the movie takes place is on Christmas.

The weight of Christmas in Western countries is like the Chinese New Year, so Christmas has become a movie schedule. However, Huo Que is not here to join in the fun, he just wants to give all moviegoers a special Christmas gift.

"November 11th." Huo Que thought for a moment and said with a smile. The time when this movie was released on Earth was November 10, 1990, and Huo Que postponed the release date by one day, for no other reason, but he suddenly mischievously thought that the day of November 11th was even more special, Double Eleven, it should have been a good carnival, otherwise why did Ma Yun like this day so much?

Alex squinted and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then it's decided, I'll start investing money to promote the movie." ”

"I've left these things to you, I don't know much about them." Huo Que is telling the truth, he doesn't know much about anything other than making movies, and he doesn't want to care.

"Oh yes." Alex flicked his cigarette ash and said, "I've contacted a talk show here, and the time is set for the next Sunday, so you might as well go there." ”

"What about the ratings?" Huo Que immediately thought of the key.

"It's not very good." Alex smiled bitterly: "But it's not bad, it's just that I put a lot of effort into being on this show." ”

"As long as it's helpful to promote the film, we can't say no, and I'll be on time next week." Huo Que knows his current fame, so there is no need to pick and choose.
