At the finale banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and the topic always revolved around the post-production system.

According to Director Zhao's plan, at the same time that the actors completed the mixing, the crew had to complete the soundtrack.

Rong Lao's friend Su Jian wanted to finish writing the background soundtrack of the whole film at that time, although this film does not need a complete theme song and main theme, but the soundtrack should definitely be there, no less at all, and the key places must be exquisite.

Zhou Yi agrees very much, and definitely doesn't want to be sloppy, the details must be carefully carved and kept improving.

The background soundtrack must wait until the editing is over before it can be composed, otherwise the rhythm will not match at all.

However, under the contact of Rong Lao, Su Jian had already gone to the company to look at the shooting materials stored on the server and find the feeling of the soundtrack. You can't wait for everything to come out, it's too much of a waste of time.

After all, in the previous filming process, there was nothing to do with the composer at all, but the filming was completed and the film was released in a hurry, leaving very little time for Su Jian. In that case, in the final stage, Su Jian still has to be busy to death?

If you are in a hurry to get to work, do you still expect him to compose a good tune? It is estimated that there will be a blockage of inspiration.

The boss is urging the draft in front, and he is in a hurry to do the homework behind the mixing.

No veteran composer can rush to produce a good tune.

Although the soundtrack for this film is relatively simple, it also requires inspiration from the composer's genius.

If the soundtrack could be better, the film would definitely be better.

is like the wonderful soundtrack of the plot of "Soul Raider" in the previous life, the effect is very good.

That would really add a lot of color to the film.

Without that soundtrack, the film would be overshadowed, but at least it would be three points inferior.

This is also where the elaborate films of large companies are stronger than private workshops.

If you don't have money, don't want good film results.

But a genius soundtrack definitely takes time, and although inspiration can occasionally flash, it takes time to precipitate after all.

Therefore, many things should be prepared in advance, and it is good for Su Jian to find the feeling as soon as possible, which can improve the efficiency of creation and save time in post-production.

If you do it one job after another, it will take too long in the later stage.

No company would do that when filming, it wouldn't do that.

Zhou Yi naturally understands this truth.

In fact, many composers are involved in the filming process, even from the birth of the screenplay, but that is the standard for blockbusters. Su Jian is old, and there is no need for this kind of small-scale film to toss him to Huairou Film and Television City.

The director simply asked him to stay on the company's side, refer to the script, and watch the shot shots, and the effect was the same. Rong Lao and Director Zhao have time, and they will discuss with him on video or phone to talk about the feeling of the soundtrack, which is enough.

However, the soundtrack looks for the feeling and the feeling, and the real composition can only be carried out after Su Jian sees the complete movie with only dialogue and no music sound effects, so that he can burst out with a more complete composition inspiration.

Director Zhao plans to hold a work viewing meeting before the 25th of this month.

At that time, the director team and Director Rong, together with the company's music editor, will accompany the invited veteran composer Su Jian to watch the silent dialogue version of the film, and then everyone will discuss which scenes need to be inserted into the background soundtrack, as well as the soundtrack style.

The music editor will record and produce a list of the music's for the video.

He is the old man of the company, and he is very reliable in doing these jobs.

Each unit of the background soundtrack is to record the start time, duration and style marking.

The style of background soundtrack required for each unit should be clearly explained.

The music editor must have seen the editing samples beforehand, and in order to impress the composer and director, he will first find some sample music as samples and match them to the film to make a preview of the film's atmosphere.

This way the composer is clearer and easier to work with.

If the director feels that there is a problem, it should be revised in time.

If it's a blockbuster, some big companies may also invite some loyal fans to watch the film samples and see if the audience likes it. If the audience finds a problem, the director also needs to revise the music in time before it is written.

However, neither Zhou Yi nor Director Zhao plans to do this, this is just a low-cost film, just let some company employees watch it in advance. If they find a problem, they can ask it, and they are all veterans in the industry.

Even if the invited fans will sign an agreement and there will be no spoilers, the company doesn't want to be so troublesome.

The plot of the film is better kept secret first.

If there is no problem with the observation meeting, Su Jian will get the music list after the meeting and start the retreat to compose the soundtrack.

In order to make the background music match the movie clip, the music editor will explain to Su Jian the time points that need to be kept in sync. These sync point music editors analyze them carefully and study them in detail to make sure they are correct.

For example, in the post-mortem scene, when Takamatsu found that the broken candle was hollow, and in the signing room scene, when Takamatsu learned that his junior brother had died tragically, the background music at this time had to fall on a downbeat.

Zhou Yi understands these things very well, and there is no need for everyone to elaborate on them, this is how the soundtrack of the old work in the previous life was done.

The soundtracks of the previous games are not very outstanding, but the key synchronization points are well controlled.

After finding all the sync points in the soundtrack, Su Jian will try to connect them.

A simple soundtrack for a small-budget film is easy to do, and it won't take a lot of time to work on it.

As for how Su Jian does it, that is his business and belongs to his professional scope.

Zhou Yi doesn't need to understand too much, just grasp the overall situation.

If it is a blockbuster soundtrack, it must take a lot of time to make multiple complete songs, at least more than a month of creation time, but for Zhou Yi's small-budget film, the background soundtrack is very simple, and it is estimated that it can be completed in a few days. Now that the movie schedule is so tight, it's impossible to leave a lot of time for the soundtrack, a few days is enough.

When Su Jian writes the soundtrack, he can directly ask a local band in Yanjing to record it.

There are a lot of such bands, and some of them have cooperated with them in the past, so it's no problem at all.

It's just a simple soundtrack, you don't need to invite an orchestra at all, and it doesn't take too long.

All this work should be completed by the end of April. This is the director's plan.

If the film wants to be released in May, the post-production schedule can only be advanced, and it must not lag behind.

In fact, the time is very tight, and the crew has to rush to work.

If you want to avoid the fierce competition for blockbusters in the summer season, you must release them in late May or early June, at least start testing and screenings, and do your best to earn word of mouth for the film, so that it is reasonable.

Even so, it is inevitable that the film will be involved in the initial competition of the summer file.

But this schedule is like this, and you can't avoid it if you want to, you can only hope that the competition in the early summer file is not too fierce.

Let's warm up first!

Besides, it is quite appropriate to release it in this time period.

If it is really released in the off-season, I'm afraid Zhou Yi is not happy!

How bad a movie will be released in the off-season?

That's too unconfident!

Wouldn't that affect the box office of the film even more?

If it is not released in the off-season, it will always be impossible to avoid a few popular schedules, but it is nothing more than to catch up with the early stage, or the end of the release, which is no way.

Now that you have entered the industry, you must be mentally prepared to fight tough battles and fight blockbusters. No one will let you!

What's more, the Chinese film and television entertainment industry is extremely prosperous now, not only is the hot schedule tight, but there are always blockbusters released. Do you really think that there is no competition for strong films in the off-season? Stop dreaming. That's all for sure.

It's hard to completely avoid the fierce competition, and it's useless to hide.

Other film companies are not fools, who wouldn't see a needle?

There are always companies that have to stagger their release dates, and this kind of competition simply cannot be completely avoided.

In particular, some second-tier companies will carefully select schedules and try their best to avoid the high-quality large-scale products of the six major Chinese companies.

The competition in the industry is so cruel! It's the same for everyone!

Some veterans like the company understand these and are mentally prepared.

It's not like I haven't experienced these things before.

The company has won several small-budget films in the past! Afraid of what?

This time it's just a return to the old business, and do it again!

They explained a few words to Zhou Yi, but they didn't want the boss to worry too much.

The young boss certainly didn't experience any of this.

In fact, Zhou Yi is also mentally prepared.

What's more, everyone is very confident in the quality of their own films, even if they fight hard for blockbusters, they may not necessarily lose, and some people are still eager to try!

Who doesn't want to do such a strange thing as an upset? Zhou Yi also wants to do it! It's cool to think about.

Especially high-quality action movies, comedies and horror films, which are the most likely to be upset!

Offending people is another matter, he has a military background and is not afraid of offending people.

Could it be that the Big Six of China can still buy him like the Big Six of Hollywood bought DreamWorks?

Don't dream, you have to ask the military commander if he agrees!

Overall, this schedule at the end of May is acceptable to everyone and feels pretty good.

If it can really be ranked, it's still a good thing! Everyone should try to fight for it.

From the beginning of the post-production of the film, it is necessary to continue to work in this direction.

The previous movie was shot in such a hurry because Director Zhao had this idea.

After listening to some introductions from Director Zhao, Zhou Yi has a little understanding of the time of the post-production of the film. If it is a blockbuster, after the company concludes the quality review of the film, before the official release of the film, this process will be set aside for at least more than a month.

During this time, it is mainly used for film review, network publicity, media public relations, arranging theaters, making copies, and delivering hard disks.

For a small production such as our company, some work can be saved and some time can be saved.

But at the very least, set aside nearly a month to be fully prepared.

If you think about it this way, the time is really tight.

Zhou Yi made a silent calculation in his heart, and naturally understood.

According to Manager Zheng's words, this is completely a beach landing operation!

Every movie is basically a war!

From shooting and editing, to post-production, to theatrical releases, competition is everywhere, and sometimes it is turbulent.

The company's next post-work tasks are also urgent.

Everyone can't breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and we need to continue to work intensively.
