Chapter 84: The Finale Banquet Ends
Zhou Yi was already able to determine that he and Lang Jun had really thought simply before, after all, they were young and not professional enough, and many situations were not considered clearly. If this film can be released at the end of May, he really has to thank God and thank the gods and Buddhas.
In fact, he should thank the company's employees for working overtime.
If you make a mistake in a certain link and delay the time, it may not be released at the end of May.
The small-cost production of zuò on his side is so troublesome, you can imagine how troublesome it will be for Lang Jun's side to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the post-production of blockbuster products, is it so easy to get it? It is estimated that Lang Jun will understand soon.
I hope he won't rush to work hard in order to rush to the ring and play bad film quality!
If that's the case, Zhou Yi feels that he still earns it!
The person who wakes up with a smile when he dreams is Zhou Yi.
But this kind of thing is just to think about. As a top second-tier company in the industry, Daqin Pictures has strict rules and regulations, and there are many veterans in the company, so it will definitely not let the young boss mess around for the sake of vindictiveness.
Many films in the industry fail, all because the boss has a bad vision, not because of foolishness.
Even Zhengdong's predecessor, the boss of Aurora, was not hospitalized because of foolishness, it was completely a matter of vision. Coupled with being secretly calculated, this will be the case. He doesn't want to fool around!
It is estimated that Lang Jun can't do it in a hurry if he wants to rush to work in the later stage.
He can't cover the sky with one hand in the company, and he can't say anything.
He still has his parents staring at him! How can you mess around?
He is not as free as Zhou Yi.
However, Zhou Yi is also unlikely to be brutal, in that case, these senior people of the company will definitely oppose it collectively.
This time, the film is in a hurry, mainly because the director wants to avoid the fierce competition in the summer season.
It is these industry elites in the company who will approve of this behavior.
If it is replaced by Zhou Yi's vindictiveness to rush to work for no reason, it is another way of saying it, and it will definitely provoke criticism.
Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't be so irrational, even if no one cared about him.
At least he can't let everyone think that he is young and knowledgeable, and he is not stable in his work!
Young bosses are already worried, and their usual style of acting should naturally be more cautious and calm, and try not to cause trouble.
Zhou Yi has done a good job, at least everyone is satisfied.
According to Director Zhao's plan, after the final cut, the special effects department must have done a good job of the special effects of some main pictures according to his requirements, and the rest of the work is very simple and there will be no trouble.
The visual effects of this film are very simple, and the crew cannot arrange a long production cycle for the visual effects alone, and it is impossible to do a month's visual effects, all of which need to be synchronized with other work, at most a week.
The special effects of some shots have already been done in accordance with the director's requirements, and the technical team will not wait.
When the technical team gets the first cut of the film in the future, the work will be much more convenient. At that time, they would reclassify the types of shots that needed VFX control, and roughly count the number of shots, and some of the finished shots could be used directly.
In fact, there are not many shots that need to be processed by special effects, and they are easy to complete.
It is estimated that if you get the fixed cut material, it will take another day or two to complete all the special effects, and you can adjust the fixed cut material again.
If it is a special effect for a blockbuster, it cannot be so simple, and it often requires the cooperation of multiple special effects companies.
Generally, after the initial cut is completed, the special effects production company can get the material, and the blockbuster film often undergoes some deletion and editing, and the production company needs various adjustments, which is very troublesome and requires good cooperation.
Director Zhao, they also explained to Zhou Yi.
However, this small-budget film in front of me doesn't need to be so troublesome, and it is all handled by the employees of their own company.
The company's special effects technicians are still very level, and it is not a problem to make some small special effects.
Director Zhao and chief cinematographer Kwan Shengjie, and art director Rong Lao will conduct a quality review of the visual effects.
They are responsible for the overall quality control of the special effects, and it is estimated that the quality review will be completed in early May.
This means that in the case of a qiēshun lì, it will be so.
Once all the clips have been batched, the colorist will start grading.
When grading colors, Director Zhao, the chief cinematographer Guan, and the artistic director have to supervise the overall tone and tone of the film to ensure that there are no problems with the artistic effect of the film. They will discuss the color of the picture with the company's senior colorists.
It's just a low-cost film, which won't cost much time, and the company can also do it itself.
If it is a blockbuster, the company's own manpower is definitely far from enough, and it must cooperate with the special effects production company.
But at the moment, this cult kung fu film doesn't need too many special effects, the color grading is not complicated, and the company's own special effects personnel can handle it.
Some professional film post-production equipment companies have them, the types are very complete, and the grades are relatively advanced!
It's no problem with a qiē.
This is an ordinary 2D film, and there is no need to convert to 3D, let alone 3D color grading, otherwise it would take at least a month just to grade and make various hard disk copies. That's obviously not going to work.
This kind of film doesn't need to be so high-end.
Lang Jun's company's "Nie Yinniang" doesn't seem to be a 3D film, I haven't heard Lang Jun mention it.
They also shoot on film! It's so retro, it is estimated that the director is playing a literary blockbuster.
That's showing off skills, showing off style, showing off art!
Can that be a 3D movie?
Even that kind of big investment and big production is not a 3D film, how can Zhou Yi be so high-profile? Isn't that pretending to be ****?
Now this is very good, Zhou Yi is very satisfied with Director Zhao's arrangement.
If the above work is completed, all post-production zuò will be almost complete.
After the visual effects picture system, the final color grading of the picture, the composition sound effect, the recording and mixed recording, and the basic dialogue subtitle system, all are completed, it is to package the sound and picture subtitles of the finished film to make the final release master.
Finally, there is the internal technical review of the company.
After the company passes the review, the film enters the review and release process, and all departments of the company will arrange for review, rating, public relations, publicity, distribution, contact major theaters, arrange the release time, and then make and deliver hard disk copies.
Before the film was officially released in theaters, it was basically these things.
If you want to conduct test screenings and screenings, the company has a special department for batch copying of digital films, and small-scale production is no problem. If the film can be released on a large scale across the country in the future, such as thousands of theaters opening together, then the company will definitely need to cooperate with a professional copy production and delivery company that has the ability to connect with theaters across the country, and then coordinate and communicate and make arrangements.
Generally, the company will confirm the safe release time based on the specific information of the other party.
Normally, it may take about half a month.
Even if the work is smooth, the release time of the film is estimated to be at the end of May.
This also refers to the time of the preview or on-demand screening.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some theater viewing managers will be interested in this cult action movie, and more theaters may be arranged to screen it at that time. After all, everyone knows the quality of the film and is very confident.
But in any case, this is a small-budget film, and everyone must be prepared for test screenings and screenings.
At the same time, it is also very important to do a good job of propaganda work in the later stage. The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
The company will allocate sufficient publicity funds and will definitely not be stingy.
As for the issue of film piracy, everyone does not think about it at all.
Zhou Yi has a background in military command, and with the support of the behemoth of military command, no one dares to pirate his novels, let alone such an important movie?
Whoever dares to pirate, the military commander will directly take action to defeat it, and it will not cause any loss at all.
That's just thunder, Taishan crushes eggs, which pirate can stop it?
There are some things that people don't want to do, but it's not that they don't have the ability to do them. If you really affect the interests of the military commander, try again.
Regarding the background of Zhengdong, some big pirates who also have a background know very well, who would be so blind and take the initiative to touch the mold of the military commander? If there really is such a person, even if he is killed, he will die without regrets, and there should be no complaints.
Sister Zhuo will arrange this aspect, and Zhou Yi doesn't have to worry about it at all.
He just needs to do a good job of the movie, and he has no worries at all.
There are no concerns about this at all.
In the past, when there was no military background, didn't the company still make films? The small-budget film sells very well! At that time, it was not that no one pirated small-budget films, but the impact was not great. As long as the film is well shot, creative, well-made, and has a good reputation, a large number of viewers will enjoy it.
What's more, Huaxia is a genuine vested interest, and the masses generally have a strong sense of copyright.
If the film is really good, the audience will take the initiative to go to the theater to watch the genuine version and support the box office of the film.
Various fan associations and fan organizations have sprung up, which are the best driving force for the box office.
For some bad movies, some people deliberately go to watch pirated versions, unwilling to contribute to the box office, just to see how bad the film is.
So some pirated discs of bad movies sell very well, but genuine discs are extremely miserable.
That's another story. In the world of piracy, this kind of thing is a joke.
There is such a group of genuine consciousness in China, and the company is not worried about piracy.
After all, most people are copyright conscious and prefer to watch genuine films, and they don't really like pirated films, not to mention that the quality of pirated copies is not good.
High-definition movies on the big screen are the mainstream.
As for whether the source of the film will be leaked by the copy production company in the future, there is no need to worry. It is estimated that the company will find familiar partners, cooperate with each other for a long time, have a tacit understanding, and will not covet that little profit.
Besides, doing so is a strict illegal act, once the matter fails, the other party will be held legally responsible, and compensation for losses can bring down a company, and even the boss and relevant responsible persons will go to prison. The laws of this world are quite elaborate and severe, and there are very few loopholes.
It's not that there weren't companies like that before, but that kind of company has long been doomed, and it is impossible to survive in the industry for a long time.
No film or television company would trust a copy company like that, how can they survive?
What's more, Zhou Yi's company will also send someone to keep an eye on it day and night, and it is impossible for something to happen.
You can find out if something happens! It is all the responsibility of the person, and it is impossible to fool the past.
Zhou Yi is usually very attentive and has some understanding of the situation in the industry, but he is not really blind, so he is naturally very relieved.
Even if the company usually has Zhuo Qinglian in charge, the boss can't not know nothing! Zhou Yi is not a person who sits back and enjoys his success.
In the future, he also wants to officially manage the company!
What's more, with the support of the military commander behind him, Zhou Yi is extremely relieved.
Zhou Yi likes such a good industry environment in this life, and it is much stronger than in his previous life.
He remembered that he seemed to have seen a lot of pirated copies in his previous life, but he was a little embarrassed.
However, this life is naturally different from the previous life.
The country is strong, the people are rich, and the rich naturally look at the genuine version, how can it be compared in the previous life?
Food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, and Cangqiao knows etiquette! It's like this everywhere!
It's nice to have parallel planes!
Each alternate plane is much stronger than the original world. It's the worst mix in the original world!
Thinking about this, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh a little.
However, remembering the Taj Cinema mentioned by Producer Zhang that day, Zhou Yi also mentioned it to the senior management of the crew. If it is convenient, you can invite the viewing manager of Taj Cinemas to come to the company to watch the film. If their good reputation in the industry is true, it will also help the company.
As long as the film manager has a little vision, he can definitely see that his company's film has the potential to be a dark horse, and there is definitely the possibility of a box office upset.
Manager Zheng has also heard of this cinema chain and knows that it is a rising star in the industry.
As the general manager of the company, he naturally understands the situation in the industry.
In fact, he also intends to invite the manager of this emerging cinema chain to watch the film in the company.
Multiple friends, multiple roads!
Zhou Yi nodded, relieved.
Everyone exchanged ideas during the banquet, all ate and drank well, and the finale banquet was over here.
Next, it is still the spring breeze blowing, the war drums beating, who is afraid of whom in order to catch up with the schedule!
