"Let's stop here for the time being,"

Getting up from his chair in front of the monitor, Murphy put down the pen and notebook in his hand and said to Jody Griffiths and the others, "Take a fifteen-minute break." ”

Jody Griffiths and Paul Wilson, who were involved in post-production, also stood up from their respective workstations, walking back and forth or standing by the window looking into the distance, relaxing in different ways.

Carey Mulligan, who had been staying in the corner, saw that Murphy had stopped working, and immediately walked out with a large paper bag, and regardless of other people's eyes, he took out the fruit inside and stuffed it, "Let's eat some bananas." ”

She bought it on her way from an acting class.

Murphy took it and looked at the others around him, and Kerry Mulligan was standing opposite, putting the paper bag on the table and just blinking at him.

"Kerry......" Murphy reminded with his eyes.

"Huh?" Carey Mulligan was stunned, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Noticing the way Murphy looked at Jody Griffith, she immediately understood, grabbed the paper bag and walked over there, saying as she went, "You're all tired, aren't you?" I've got fruit here. ”

Paul Wilson took the banana and said thank you with a smile, not surprised by the progress of the relationship between the boss and Carey Mulligan, as long as there are people in the crew who have a heart, they have already seen that Kerry Mulligan likes his boss very much.

Like Paul Wilson, no one thinks it's strange for Murphy and Carey Mulligan to come together.

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and Murphy clapped his palms vigorously, "Get to work!" ”

Because of some experience and better equipment support, plus after working together once, Murphy and Jody Griffith also formed a considerable tacit understanding, this time the post-production editing work was obviously much faster than the last time, after spending three days to watch all the footage, it took less than four days to complete the first step of the first cut.

After the Da Vinci Grading Desk and some other post-processing, it was now time for the fine cut, and Murphy and Jody Griffith became relatively cautious, repeating each clip, discussing it with each other, and finally making appropriate changes based on Murphy's opinion.

Fine editing is a creative work, requiring the editor to have montage thinking in the editing process, master the language of montage, and create the best picture narrative effect through editing.

Like the last post-production zuò, Murphy is a director who is in charge of the whole picture, and it is impossible to master all the work, more often than not, he is saying what he wants, and it takes Jody Griffiths to use his hands to make it a reality.

In addition to this, Murphy also had to go to another production room and work with Hart Colby, the sound engineer on the set, to complete the sound effects work.

Although on-set recordings were used for almost all of the scenes, there were always a few shots that didn't meet Murphy's requirements, and if all of the audio footage for simultaneous sound could not be used, it was necessary to re-record the footage that could not be used.

These jobs are not troublesome, the life trajectory of James Franco, who met Murphy, has changed significantly, according to the information provided by Seth Rogan, after the filming, James Franco will have a "father-daughter date" with Lily Collins whenever he has the opportunity, and he has not taken on a new job, and he can come here to record at any time.

Not to mention Seth Rogen, who is basically an actor who has finished this role and doesn't know where the next role is.

"It's finally done!"

In the recording studio, James Franco put down the script of the lines, walked to the side and sat down to rest, Murphy listened to the effect of the recording in combination with the picture played on the monitor, nodded to the sound engineer Hart Colby, signaled that it was okay to pass, and walked to James Franco's side.

"To be honest, I really admire you!"

Waiting for Murphy to sit down in a chair next to him, James Franco cocked a thumbs up at his side, "A difficult girl like Carey Mulligan can be leveled by you so lightly." ”

Murphy shrugged his shoulders, this is not the first time he has heard this kind of words, and he is too lazy to explain, some things are not intentional, and he has no experience in love and chasing girls at all.

"Where's Seth?" He simply changed the subject, "Why haven't you seen him over in the past few days?" ”

After the start of post-production, Seth Rogen will still come to the crew to help as long as there is nothing to do, more for the sake of learning, and it seems that his goal is really not just to be an actor.

"I'm going to take an accent class." James Franco seemed to be unhappy with Murphy's diversion of the subject, and deliberately squeezed his eyes, "Are you already ......?"

He clenched his fist in one hand and extended his index finger with the other, making a few twitching movements back and forth between the fists.

Murphy gave him a middle finger directly, and instead of answering, he asked, "What about you?" Where have you got? ”

"Me?" James Franco looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Murphy meant.

"Don't play dumb." Murphy pointed to his eyes, "I'm not blind yet. ”

James Franco was not embarrassed at all, thought for a while and said, "Jill Colan is going to England in a while, and Lily is about to have a summer vacation, so I plan to rent a boat and take her on vacation on the high seas." ”

Murphy unconsciously gave him a thumbs up, "I should say that the person I admire is me." ”

Yu Lanlan spread out her hands, grimaced, and stood up, "I'll go first, call me if there's something." ”

After recording the actor's dubbing, the dialogue must be edited, and the dialogue recorded at the same time and supplemented in the later stage will be countered and replaced, and the animated foley must also be added.

Then the sound effects are edited to align the sound effects and animation effects.

Finally, there is the environmental sound processing, which is an important means to restore the scene, creating a different sense of space and environment.

At the same time, there is another important link in ambient sound processing - the processing of air sound, which is to level the noise floor level of different shots, which can help the audience ignore the editing between shots.

To put it simply, in an extremely quiet space, it is not without sound, and the vibrations of the air itself will make sounds.

After completing this, and then adding the soundtrack, because of the financial relationship, Murphy also did not use the original soundtrack, and continued to use the method of "Hard Candy".

The team was quite effective this time, and even if there were some difficulties in the middle, Murphy still completed all the post-production zuò a week ahead of schedule, which also proves that a good team is important to a film.

With the film complete, finding the right distributor became Murphy's most important job. (To be continued.) )
