Looking at Feng Qingyang's somewhat remorseful look, Lin Feihong's anger decreased a lot, so he calmly said to Feng Qingyang: "I said Qingyang, you still don't know much about the current situation of the film industry, now movies are no longer judged by the box office, and the judges of those international awards don't just look at the box office to decide the fate of a movie, they include the movie for themselves to see, and they vote after watching it, they evaluate a movie according to their own concepts, outlook on life, and values. They know that the films they evaluate should be placed in front of audiences and critics all over the world, and the films they select must stand up to the audience's scrutiny, otherwise they will be sorry for the world's audiences, and their international awards will not be far from losing.

They will never allow the award system established for decades or even hundreds of years to be extinguished, so they are very cautious and careful in choosing movies, and they will never choose which movie because of the high box office, not to mention that there are a lot of unknown dark box operations hidden behind the box office, and there is a lot of moisture.

"The Gift of Room No. 7" has declined at the box office because of the incident, but there is no problem with its own quality, I think people who have seen this movie may not have any too bad comments, at least I think the quality will definitely pass, so we don't care about the results of "The Gift of Room No. 7" in China now, first release it overseas, and then apply for international awards, the box office is indispensable, and the honor cannot be lost. ”

After listening to Lin Feihong's words, Feng Qingyang nodded seriously, saying that he would go to handle this matter immediately, and was just about to go out and was stopped by Lin Feihong: "Qingyang, wait a minute, when handling the overseas release of "The Gift of Room No. 7". We also have to deal with the promotion of "The Shawshank Redemption", which is the top priority, because we want "The Shawshank Redemption" to be released as soon as possible.

It's September 10th, more than half a month of publicity, what premiere, test screening is not wanted, we are no longer in the same situation as before, this kind of trivial matter before the release is forgotten, this is what rookie directors do. It will be released on time on October 1st, the National Day, and you can let the wind out now. Okay, it's okay, go ahead. ”

After the wind cleared and left, Lin Feihong made two cups of coffee by himself and drank it, and went to the inner room to see how Lin Wenqing's treatment was.

"How's it going, okay?"

"Almost. It's just the last point. ”

Lin Wenqing quickly typed 'enter' Jian, and played the finished special effects to Lin Feihong.

Not bad. Thunder. There are lightning bolts, and it looks like it's really thunderstorming, but when I see Andy Lau looking at the flash thunder and lightning in the air, I feel that something is wrong.

"Wen Qing, everything else is okay, it's not very good here, it may have something to do with the reason why you didn't fully understand the script. He lifted the stone and looked at the sky to wait for the thunder after the lightning, and he was going to knock on the pipe at the moment when the thunder sounded, so you have to adjust this, and the time must be pinched. Not too long or too slow, set the lightning and thunder according to the time he knocked down. Paused the playback, pointed to Andy Lau's movements, and analyzed the specific significance of the plot to Lin Wenqing.

Lin Wenqing nodded heavily, and glanced at Lin Feihong very gratefully, just now when he heard Lin Feihong say that something was wrong, his heart was pimpled, for fear of being scolded, when he was in Hollywood before, he was scolded by the director for a little mistake, and now he has made a big mistake, almost to redo the special effects, but Lin Feihong did not scold himself but was quite calm. At that time, Lin Wenqing had a feeling that he came to China to the right place, and the Chinese were really good people, and they chose the right one.

Lin Feihong didn't know that Lin Wenqing was grateful and worshipping him now, so he ignored these and clicked on all kinds of pictures that needed to be used for special effects and began to explain some requirements.

"Wen Qing, there are still some places to do special effects in the back, you take notes, I will tell you one by one now, when this pipe knocks on the ground four times, that is, when it is the last time, there should be liquid splashing out of the pipe, which is replaced by black liquid, the most important thing is to have a splashing feeling, and there must be a little splash on the body of this protagonist.

And this pipe, this pipe is actually a pipe, we shot a part of it from head to end during shooting, you integrate it into a pipe, you have to let the character's head go through this hole to see, and the darkness of the pipe needs to be adjusted to make it more realistic.

The next thing is that he's crawling in it, and the shooting doesn't work very well, and you have to deal with the rest of the part to make it look like he's really crawling in the pipe that he smashed open.

Finally, this pipe by the river, this is not a real pipe, it is actually a plastic pipe, you have to add some metal properties and thickness to make it look like a real pipe, and there is also the fact that it should be a stormy weather outside this scene, plus lightning and thunder.

In this picture, when the protagonist looks up to the sky and embraces nature, there must be rain falling on his face, body, this whole process by the river has to add raindrops, and it must feel like rain, which means that this outside scene is thunderstorming, you have to make this effect, don't let me down.

And this one, this is a gambling scene, you have to spin this chip in the air and let it land right on the character's fingertips and spin at high speed, and the chip will fall before his hand slaps it.

Do you understand all of this? ”

After Lin Feihong finished speaking, Lin Wenqing also wrote down the points that needed attention and improvement one by one, he nodded confidently after putting down the pen, and saw confidence in Lin Wenqing's eyes, so Lin Feihong walked out of the office with confidence.

When I walked out of the door of Qihong Film and Television Company, my heart was much more relaxed, and now the main parts that need to be improved and processed in the later stage are left to Lin Wenqing to deal with, and the effect he has done can make him put a hundred hearts, and now what he has to do is to do some simple editing work such as adjusting and losing order, this task is not big.

The two parties started work together, presumably in about one to two weeks to complete all the post-editing work, and there is still a little time left for review, now the review of the reputation of himself and Qihong Film and Television is actually a formality, as long as it is submitted for a day or two, there will be a result, so "The Shawshank Redemption" will be released normally in more than half a month.

According to the latest news, Qihong Film and Television has issued an announcement claiming that "The Shawshank Redemption" will be on the first of next month. That is, it will be officially released on the day of the National Day"

"News 110" broadcast this news on the evening of September 10 not long after, many media have reprinted this news, the news column on the home page of major browsers also shows this news, many websites have popped up this news in the form of a small window to tell the men and women in front of the computer, many otaku otaku have received this information, in the past they directly closed and ignored it, but what can be seen is that most of the information about the release of the movie of the big director is clicked in to view, especially movie lovers, In particular, Lin Feihong's fans were even more crazy, and they immediately reprinted it after reading the news. Use all your chat software, Weibo, **, etc. to publish information, reprint this news, and quickly spread the information about the release of "The Shawshank Redemption" on the Internet at a viral speed.

The next day. The whole media world is hot, and more media are reporting and reprinting the news. Some reporters even went to the headquarters of Qihong Film and Television Company to confirm the authenticity of this information. When they learned that the information was true, a new round of frenzied reporting began.

After the crazy viral spread of Lin Feihong's loyal fans, and the crazy reprinting and reporting of many media, within a few days, the news of the release of Lin Feihong's latest movie "The Shawshank Redemption" on National Day became a household name, and almost everyone knew such a message. As long as there are people who have access to the Internet, they will know, because there are small window prompts on the Internet, if it is a friend who plays **, it will be known earlier, and a news prompt will directly tell the owner of this shocking information.

This kind of news is no less popular than a world catastrophe. Even if there is an air crash or geological disaster somewhere, it will not receive more attention than that, but this kind of entertainment news and catastrophic news cannot be compared with the speed of follow-up in the later stage, and the media is not very interested in the follow-up of entertainment news, at most under the crazy coverage in the first few days, especially when there is no other news to report. This incomparable is due to the fact that entertainment itself is a fast-food culture with little to follow.

In the past three days, the forum area of Qihong Film and Television's official website has become much hotter than in the past, and the forum area that is usually few is now full, as long as you just release a piece of information, you don't know where to run when you refresh it in the next second, even if it is refined, you have to turn several pages to find your position. Whenever Qihong Film and Television makes an announcement, the forum area has always been so popular, and the time period that the staff of Qihong Film and Television official website pays the most attention to is at this time, whenever Lin Feihong's movie is about to be released, the company has asked to pay special attention to maintaining the network during this period of time to prevent the website from being paralyzed.

Many fans complained on the forum, expressing their expectations for Lin Feihong's new work, some people hope that the prison film "The Shawshank Redemption" will be more exciting than "The Gift of Room No. 7", some people complain that the National Day will not be lonely anymore, and some people want to rent their girlfriends to watch movies together on the National Day.

When the outside world hyped "The Shawshank Redemption" to a boil, Lin Feihong stayed in the company for the past three days to do post-editing work, he ignored these, what he has to do now is to complete the post-production work of "The Shawshank Redemption" with Lin Wenqing as soon as possible.

The work of editing is boring, but it is happy, 12 days are spent like this, Lin Wenqing's ability did not disappoint Lin Feihong, he handled the few sub-shots that needed special effects combinations given to him, and there were a few things that were not as good as his own intentions and explained the requirements to him, and he could also change them very well. The simple editing work I did was also successfully completed, such as slowing down the time when Andy Lau first entered the casino, and the gambling game was distributed in Andy Lau's prison life and inserted into it along with money laundering.

After nearly two weeks of editing and processing by the two, "The Shawshank Redemption" is finally over, there are no flaws and nothing to add after watching it a few times, the overall feeling is very smooth, reasonable, the gambling and prison escape are cool enough, dazzling enough, seeing here always gives people a feeling of blood boiling, although Lin Feihong guided all the way, but watching this full version of "The Shawshank Redemption" feels completely different from watching a variety of sub-shots during filming, and after watching the edited "The Shawshank Redemption" It's as if the movie wasn't made by yourself, it's like revisiting an old movie you've seen before.

The trailer was also made, and Andy's masochism, rise, gambling, prison escape and other wonderful processes are all uneven in the form of fast shots. It gives people the feeling that they want to see it after watching the trailer. As soon as the trailer came out, Feng Qingyang immediately sent the trailer to major theaters across the country, allowing fans to see the first version of "The Shawshank Redemption" in advance.

The rest of the work will be handed over to Feng Qingyang, and the film review materials will be handled by him, if nothing else, the review results will come out, and the most cumbersome review agency in the film industry is the content review, as long as the content review is passed, the remaining technical review is a formality.

This content review also depends on the director and the company's reputation, if a director has black spots. If you have a bad reputation, or if the film and television company has a bad reputation, then the censorship agency will probably keep dragging your movie, maybe it's not that there is a problem with your movie, it's just that they deliberately don't let your movie pass.

Lin Feihong believes. "The Shawshank Redemption" does not have a heroine, and it will not involve pornography. At most, Andy, the little banker at the beginning, was framed for drug use and prostitution at the yacht wedding, and there were many women in bikinis when he was prostituted. But this scene passed in a matter of seconds, most of the time he was on the judgment seat, and those few seconds of footage were just a process of his recollection. Although prison life is not very violent, he believes that "The Shawshank Redemption" should be easy to pass, not to mention his own reputation and the reputation of Qihong Film and Television. The past five years have not been mixed up in vain in the mainland, and they are no longer comparable to those of the past.

Now there are only nine days to go until the release day, and we have to hurry up and hold a press conference.

This reception was held directly at the door of the company, the day after Feng Qingyang sent out this message. Reporters from major media have rushed to the spacious place at the entrance of Qihong Film and Television Company to gather, it is not yet nine o'clock in the morning, the door of Qihong Film and Television Company is full, and some staff who are late for work want to squeeze in, and the crowd is like a vegetable market.

called Andy Lau, Ah Long, Xu Zhen, Li Lianjie and several other important characters to watch the press conference together, and the five of them were besieged by many reporters as soon as they arrived there at nine o'clock.

"Is there any difference between this "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Gift of Room Seven", or is it not about fatherly love?"

"Director, I should be able to reveal a little bit of the plot now, what is the theme of this film?"

"Hope!" walked on the stage, picked up the microphone and answered the reporter's questions, so many questions can only be answered selectively.

"Director Lin, you were hacked and imprisoned before, does this movie have anything to do with your experience?"

Lin Feihong nodded and said, "This movie is actually based on my personal experience. ”

"So is this movie a cool prison life or is it just as happy as 'The Gift of Room Seven'?" Another male reporter asked.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a completely different style prison film from "The Gift of Room Seven", and the theme is different, "The Shawshank Redemption" is cool, but it is not the violent prison life of Hollywood blockbusters you imagine, it is a different kind of cool."

"What kind of coolness is it, can you tell us a little bit about it?"

"Words can't express this coolness, and the answer is in the cinema."

Some reporters turned the microphone to Andy Lau: "It is said that you are the main actor this time, can you talk about some views on the role you play?" ”

"Well, Andy's character, well, how to say it, he is like a god-like person, an idol of his fellow inmates, at least in Shawshank Prison he is such a kind of person, in modern terms, he is a kind of person full of positive energy, in the case of other people in the prison are disappointed in the future, he is the only one who is full of hope, there is a feeling that everyone is drunk and he is sober, he uses his actions to tell people that there is still hope, which is also the theme of this film, the essence."

"Is there any difference between Andy's character and your previous roles?"

"What I just said is the difference." Andy Lau smiled and replied.

Some reporters also pointed the finger at Xu Zhen, Ah Long, Li Lianjie and others next to them, asking about their views on the roles they played, what difficulties they encountered in the process of acting, etc., all the questions related to "The Shawshank Redemption", as long as the reporter can think of the questions, they will wave to Xu Zhen, Ah Long, Li Lianjie, Andy Lau, Lin Feihong and others in the form of rolling waves.

In the end, they turned up Lin Feihong's unfulfilled promise.

"Director Lin, when you were released from prison, you were going to shoot "Paradise Cinema", but later chose to shoot "The Shawshank Redemption" because you couldn't find the filming location, and now it has been delayed until now, do you have any plans to start filming "Paradise Cinema" next?"

"Of course, but I haven't had this plan so soon, and now my mind is on "The Shawshank Redemption", and if you want to start filming "Cinema Paradiso", you will have to wait at least until "The Shawshank Redemption" is released."

"Director Lin, the results of "The Gift of Room No. 7" last time were not very satisfactory, do you believe that "The Shawshank Redemption" will save the situation this time?"

"This can't be predicted, I can only say that "The Shawshank Redemption" is coming!" (To be continued......)
