Chapter 122: Back on the screen
A few days later, Hou Fuxiu got the original film in Sun Jian's hand.
He licked his lips, staying up late these days made him look extremely tired, but his spirit was very high, thinking about the moment when his dream was finally going to come true, he didn't want to make a mistake.
Immediately afterwards, he handed Hou Fuxiu a plate of master tape and said: "This is what I cut myself, and I am going to send it to Europe for the award, you can also take a look." ”
He took this rough-cut master tape to Hou Fuxiu mainly because he wanted Hou Fuxiu to understand after reading it that only he knew his work best, and hoped that he would be able to come to him when the domestic version was released.
Hou Fuxiu accepted the master tape and didn't say much, Sun Jian was a little frustrated, and he didn't want Gu Wu to have an accident, he just wanted to make the movie too hard.
He admitted that he was consciously guiding Gu Wu into the role of Wu Xia, but he really didn't want Gu Wu to have an accident, after all, the two had no grievances.
But now that it's happened, it's too late to say anything.
With a sigh, he got up and left the teahouse where he had met.
After Hou Fuxiu got the master tape, no one said anything, and only took it out and looked at it after putting it in the office drawer for a few weeks.
In the past, Hou Fuxiu had seen all the works played by Gu Wu, even if she didn't have time to go to the cinema, he would buy a ticket to watch it alone, so Hou Fuxiu had seen her watch from the beginning.
Today, after he quietly watched the mastering tape for more than five hours, he had a transparent feeling for the first time, like drinking a large glass of cold beer in the hot summer, even if he looked at this movie with the most critical eye, Hou Fuxiu had to admit that this was an excellent work, even if there was no soundtrack and no dubbing, and even many places were contradictory before and after the shooting. But after Hou Fuxiu finished reading it, he was no less shocked than Zhang Xiao at that time.
He lit a cigarette and smoked quietly, then picked up the phone and called Sun Jian.
"Director Sun, I just finished watching your movie. Feel? Well............ I can't tell you on the phone, why don't you come over in person, we're talking about the movie in detail. Also, there's something I want to say to you right now. Hou Fuxiu paused: "From the standpoint of Gu Wu's boss, you are an unscrupulous bastard." But from the standpoint of a moviegoer, you're a genius! ”
When he received the call, Sun Jian was eating skewers with Zhang Zhizuò in a tavern, and Zhang Zhizuò looked at him stupidly staring at the phone and asked, "Who is it?" Why are you stupid there? ”
Sun Jian raised his head and his gaze was a little divergent, he opened his mouth and said in a very incredible tone: "Mr. Hou said that I was a bastard. ”
Zhang Zhizuò almost squirted out the beer in his mouth when he heard it.
He wiped his mouth and scolded cracklingly: "I just said that the other party will not let you go." Who is Gu Wan? Now the most popular little girl in the film industry, she has works, fame, and box office, and she can rise to the ranks of first-line movie stars just by waiting for a weight award. This kind of person is a good product in the palm of his hand in any company. It's good that you're going to get depressed for the sake of the movie, which company doesn't rush with you when it looks at its own cash cow? It's over, it's over. Mr. Hou is now leaving Xingcan, but his influence in Xingcan has not decreased at all, if you offend him, don't talk about you, I can't get mixed up. “
Sun Jian opened his mouth and was interrupted by him just as he wanted to speak: "Okay, don't say it." I know you and I owe you all my life. I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow, damn! I had already known that I promised my father that I would have a job to take the exam and become a junior civil servant for the rest of my life. ”
Sun Jian said cautiously: "Senior brother, the situation is not so bad. ”
Zhang Zhizuò raised his head and looked at him with a sad face: "It's not bad? You really can't hear what's going on outside the window, huh? Do you know Xingcan's status in the circle? Do you know Hou Fuxiu's status in the circle? Don't talk about you and me, two nameless little shrimps, even a big director like Zhang Xun has to give each other a face! ”
Sun Jian grabbed his hand and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
He looked back at him helplessly: "Of course you're going back to pack your things?" Can you still eat? ”
Sun Jian: "........................"
After leaving people behind, she had to talk about the phone call from beginning to end before her senior brother calmed down.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhizuò looked at him with an incredulous face: "You mean that Mr. Hou said that you are a genius?" ”
Sun Jian nodded and added: "From the standpoint of the audience, yes! ”
Zhang Zhizuò swept away the frustration just now and slapped Sun Jian's back: "Okay, you?!" Then he frowned and thought for a while: "Then Mr. Hou means that he is very angry that you treat Gu Wu like this, but he is surprised by your talent." So............? ”
Sun Jian shook his shoulders: "So he asked me to go to the cutting room tomorrow to talk in detail." ”
"............ represents?"
"It means that in the matter of Gu Wu, he is not ready to trouble us."
Zhang Zhizuò closed his eyes and clenched his fists hard: "Huh! I haven't slept a good night's sleep since Nima Gu's accident, and I'm worried that the other party will find me all the time. ”
Sun Jian: ".................."
No matter how the two spent the night, Sun Jian appeared in the editing room on time the next day.
Sun Jian was much better than the last time Hou Fuxiu saw him, at least he had a haircut and a beard, and his clothes were not as wrinkled as last time.
Hou Fu was watching the film, nodded slightly and said, "Sit." ”
After waiting for a while, Hou Fuxiu glanced at Sun Jian and said, "I just edited it for ten minutes, you can take a look." ”
Sun Jian pressed the play button, and the familiar picture was released on the screen.
The first scene is a telephoto, followed by Wu Xia's heels slowly propulsion, splashing muddy water on her good-looking calves, but at this time she didn't care, she just blindly accelerated her pace and walked forward.
Suddenly, the good-looking calves stopped, and the camera pulled away to shoot Wu Xia's back, blurring the scene of a man and a woman standing in the rain and hugging in the distance.
The first act is over here, Sun Jian thought about it after watching it and said, "Mr. Hou, you have accelerated the progress." ”
Hou Fuxiu nodded: "I think the center of this movie is Wu Xia, when she was in school before, she only had a www.biquge.info of writing, in order to get into the theme faster, I deleted the scene where the two fell in love." ”
Sun Jian frowned: "But if you cut out those two minutes of scene, will the audience think that Wu Xia's behavior is too extreme?" ”
Hou Fuxiu: "So I kept the picture of Wu Xia crying bitterly after finding out that her boyfriend was getting along with another person." It doesn't matter if the audience doesn't see the two in love, as long as they can see the relationship between the two from Wu Xia's reaction, or Wu Xia's emotional purpose, it will be achieved. ”
Sun Jian had already reacted to Hou Fuxiu's meaning when he heard this, and after watching it for another twenty minutes of rough cutting, he looked sideways at Hou Fuxiu: "Mr. Hou, your hair cut greatly compresses the shots of the rest of the characters, which means that a movie is narrated from the perspective of Wu Xia from beginning to end, don't you worry that the audience will find it boring?" ”
Hou Fuxiu smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I have blank space." ”
After reading the first few dozen minutes of the rough cut, Hou Fuxiu had to talk to Sun Jian in detail.
He asked all questions about the film, but nothing to do with the shooting. is more to ask how Sun Jian came up with the idea of writing such a story, why did he design those events for the character of Wu Xia, and what was his purpose? Why not give that poor woman a happy ending? Is it just because the tragedy is more impressive?
Hou Fuxiu asked very carefully, Sun Jian answered very specifically, and when the two came out of the editing room, it was already completely dark.
Sun Jian looked at Hou Fuxiu and thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Hou, can I ask you a question?" “
Hou Fuxiu nodded
"How did you come up with the idea of cutting the film yourself? This editor is a technical job, of course, I believe you can say this with confidence, but I am really curious how you, the CEO of a listed company, would do such a thing yourself? If you don't trust me, it's much easier to find an editor you trust to do what you want, than if you were to roll up your sleeves yourself. ”
Hou Fuxiu smiled slightly after listening: "How can you sing an old song?" Your military medals have half yours and half mine? Is that so? “
Sun Jian blinked and didn't react
"When my daughter-in-law can go further, I hope she can feel my support."
Sun Jian thought for a while before he understood what he meant: ".................. Depend on! ”
As soon as he got on the taxi, Zhang Zhi called over the phone, Sun Jian thought about it and decided not to tell him this explosive news, Gu Wan's identity is Xingcan's contracted actor, and he was so scared that he didn't sleep well for a few months, you must know that the two of them pit Hou Fuxiu's woman together, he must not be scared to death?
Although he decided not to tell him, Sun Jian was not in the mood to speak at this time. After hanging up the phone and sending a text message, Sun Jian looked out the window of the car and fell silent.
Gu Wu had just joined the group on the first day, and in the more than three months since her accident, the scenes seemed to have happened in front of his eyes yesterday. Really, he didn't expect Gu Yu to be Hou Fuxiu's girlfriend at all. What if he knew? Sun Jian thought about it and felt that such a cognition was a bit redundant, even if he knew, what would it be? He will do what he should do, at most the senior brother is even more pitiful.
But then again, he really didn't expect Gu Wu's background to be so deep at all, because he really couldn't see it in the crew, and she would ask for the starring role, but as long as she said that she didn't complain about filming, when the two were not familiar with each other at first, Sun Jian didn't know how many tantrums he had at her, and Gu Wu didn't react at all, but reshot it over and over again according to his request.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian leaned heavily on the car seat, thinking that his luck was really good, and he wanted to change actresses, and he probably didn't know how many times he had been retaliated against now.
Sun Jian was here thinking that Gu Wu was so good, but she didn't know at all, she was working hard to resume her work now.
Because she has been recuperating from illness for three months, plus the months of filming, Gu Wu has not appeared in public for more than half a year, although she does not need to maintain her exposure all the time like the topic is obvious, but she can't have no news at all.
When Zhang Xiao knew that she was going to return, she finalized her return method, the first interview after her return.
The news that Gu Wu was going to be interviewed and explain in detail about her injury spread quickly, and Zhang Xiao also asked the publicity side to follow up. Try to cooperate with the promotion of the program.
When she was preparing to put on makeup on the show, Gu Wu posted a Weibo.
"I was a little nervous about recording the show for the first time after I came back."
As soon as this Weibo was posted, many friends in the circle reposted it one after another, and many entertainment media used "return" to describe Gu Wu.
The first to forward it was Yang Zhengming, who cooperated twice, this popular male star Weibo is basically not used, and it is unprecedented to forward Gu Wu's Weibo to make his fans envious and jealous, and some CP fans of the two of them exploded into fireworks as if they were celebrating a holiday.
Xingcan's first brother Wu Ran was the second to forward it, and at the beginning of Xingcan, those senior brothers and sisters followed suit.
With the blessing of the stars, the topic of Gu Wu's return instantly became the first place in the hot search.
But Gu Wu, who is being interviewed, doesn't know this, and now she is sitting in front of the camera and returning to the public eye after more than seven months.
"Can you tell us, what were you thinking the moment you fell?"
Gu Wu sat on the sofa and heard the host's question, thought about it and replied: "Actually, I didn't have time to think about it at all, because it was an accident, and as soon as my foot slipped, the whole person didn't have time to react and fell down." I lost consciousness as soon as I touched the ground. ”
"And when did you wake up?"
"The day after the surgery, I actually woke up for a short time, because of the anesthetic, it was only a few minutes, and then I fell asleep again."
"You've been recuperating from this injury for three months, will you feel bored during the recuperation period? Or I really want to get back to my job soon. I see that the information shows that you were injured during filming? When you were recuperating from your injury, did you ever think about what the crew would do when I went to bed now? Without me, would they open the skylight? ”
Gu Wu smiled and replied, "Actually, when I was injured, my role was completed in only three days. So I still have less pressure on my work. After all, the scene has basically been filmed. As for the feeling during the recuperation period, it was indeed a bit boring, but it gave me more time to think about myself, because I was working every day, and I was very busy, and most of the decisions I encountered were made by intuition. The period of recuperation has given me more opportunities to think and have a different feeling about my future. ”
The host smiled: "Do you know what the circle calls you?" When the choreographer learned that he was going to visit you, he specially asked a few colleagues who had worked with you, and they said a lot about you, but the only thing they had in common was that they all said that you were very serious about filming, which can be said to be exquisite. Right? ”
Gu Wu nodded: "Yes, after all, I have to be responsible to the audience." ”
"Since you are so serious in your work, you bring so many good works to the audience. So why do you feel otherwise? I mean, you're doing so well, and the audience is happy. Then you can handle your work the way you did before, why do you feel that your previous thoughts are not enough during your recuperation? ”
Gu Wu thought for a while before replying, "My feelings are more about life. In the past, when a good script found me, I would ignore it, but after I got hurt, I would have to think more about the people around me and their feelings. ”
Host: "Are you saying that in the past, you mainly considered whether you wanted to take the script yourself, but now you will think more about whether your family is willing to accept it?" ”
Gu Wu nodded: "Yes, so to speak." ”
