Chapter 303 Demanding Post-Production!

After the Oscars, early summer came, the weather was getting hotter, and various departments in the headquarters of Supernova Entertainment Company were also enthusiastic.

Zhou Shaoming returned, the editing room, and the soundtrack room began to get busy, these departments had been idle for a long time before, how could they not be enthusiastic when the work came?

Why there are employees who want to work instead of being lazy is still thanks to Zhou Shaoming's last movie.

At the time of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", although Zhou Shaoming, a phenomenal director, was famous, in fact, many employees within the company were not very optimistic at the beginning.

But Zhou Shaoming used his own actions to dispel the concerns of these employees, and at the same time, the great success of the film at the box office also gave the employees hope.

Not to mention that after Zhou Shaoming made a profit in the company, he also gave a large amount of bonuses to each employee, so now that there is work, everyone is enthusiastic, not only for the company, but also for that generous bonus.

However, at this time, there is also a department in Supernova that is depressed, that is, Supernova Entertainment's own special effects production department, when it was in Sparta, the special effects production department was generous and brilliant, and completed the task with the industrial magic light, but unfortunately, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" does not need special effects, and it cannot be said to be complete, but it is not comparable to the movie "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" that is full of special effects shots.

Because of the popularity of "The Walking Dead", the popularity of supernova and Zhou Shaoming is unprecedentedly high, so for the upcoming "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", both the media and fans are all enthusiastically looking forward to it.

Of course, no matter how lively the outside world is, Supernova doesn't care at all, because they are following Director Zhou Da in the company for post-production.

The first thing to start with is the editing side. This part is quite easy. Because at the time of shooting. Zhou Shaoming has repeatedly considered each shot, plus there are materials from his past life for reference, so the editing work can easily cope with the past.

After that, the characters in the movie are voiced, although Jim Carrey and Everea, who are the main characters, are not there. But for Zhou Shaoming, this is not a problem, there are a lot of Chris's monologues in the film, and this part of Zhou Shaoming has been recorded during filming. Now it's just a matter of cutting out the sounds and matching them.

As the weather gets hotter, during this time, there have been a lot of summer films that have begun a fierce propaganda offensive, and Zhou Shaoming doesn't have time to watch the specific movie, anyway, just look at the newspaper after finishing work, now is not the time to understand those, first of all, we must improve "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", this is the point.

In mid-April, the editing of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was completed. plus the cast list at the beginning and the staff list at the end, a total of 117 minutes.

There is a lot of sadness and hardship in these 117 minutes. But what is more described is Chris's tenacious fighting spirit, and the touching family affection deduced by Jim Carrey's father and daughter.

Zhou Shaoming has enough reason to believe that this will definitely make the eyes of audiences who are used to watching horror movies and war movies shine.

The soundtrack is the top priority for any type of movie, and the soundtrack, which is full of family affection and still struggles tenaciously in the face of adversity, is a major attraction of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

If a movie lacks music, it will become boring just like the lack of taste of food, so Zhou Shaoming's requirements for the soundtrack are also very strict.

The soundtrack of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is the Android Yagu who sounded it in his previous life. Yella, this is also the first time that Zhou Shaoming has collaborated with this soundtrack master.

Although it is the first time to cooperate, Zhou Shaoming is still a serious request. Yela makes the most perfect effect, the reward is not a problem at all, what he cares about is not the money, but the effect!

The role of the soundtrack is to bring out the psychology of the actors, and at the same time, it also has the mission of creating the atmosphere of the scene, and the most exaggerated techniques are used to expand the effect in a scene, and many horror films use this technique to infinitely expand the fear in people's hearts.

Of course, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is similar to a literary film, an inspirational film, it doesn't need to be too exaggerated, what you want is the kind of tenacious and unyielding effect, when it should be difficult, there should be background music in times of hardship to highlight the effect, and when there should be soothing music when you are happy.

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to actually do.

Android Yagu. Yella was holding back, it was not so easy to cooperate with this great director, fortunately, he was mentally prepared at the beginning, but Rao was mentally prepared, but when he really cooperated, such complicated requirements completely stunned him.

Stunned, Android Yagu. Yela still played at the level she should have as a master, and after countless modifications, Andra Yagu. Yella has finally completed the soundtrack for "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Time is still flying, and after finishing the soundtrack, Zhou Shaoming is finally a little more relaxed, so he has time to read the newspaper and see what his competitors are.

First of all, "Spider-Man" produced by Columbia is another superhero blockbuster, and Zhou Shaoming also knows about this movie, because in his previous life, "Spider-Man" was released on May 3, and it broke the North American box office record as soon as it was released, and it swept more than 100 million at the box office in just three days, which is simply terrifying.

There is also "Star Wars Prequel 2", a sci-fi blockbuster full of special effects shots, which was released on May 16 and achieved more than 80 million dazzling results in the first week of release.

Two box office monsters will sweep in May! However, Zhou Shaoming is very calm, the original intention of the movie "Happiness" was not to compete for how much box office, it is better to achieve good results, and if you can't, you won't be disappointed, just be satisfied.

In fact, "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars" are actually the same type in Zhou Shaoming's eyes, mainly to create heroic characters, which is also a type of movie that the audience is more likely to accept and like.

In addition to these two super blockbusters in May, another is "Infidelity", which will be released on May 8, produced by Fox, with a total box office of more than 10 million in the first week, and the results are not bad, but they are overshadowed in front of the two super blockbusters!

The schedule in May is very hot, and the two blockbusters "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars 2" alone are enough to make people look forward to it, not to mention Zhou Shaoming's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" scheduled to be released on May 1st?

In fact, Zhou Shaoming was completely able to break through the two box office monsters of "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars 2", but after careful consideration, he still chose this fierce collision!

is different from the two super blockbusters, Zhou Shaoming did the opposite, played the family card, and created an ordinary ordinary person's image, although Chris's image is very ordinary, but it is actually an important foreshadowing in the movie, because of this ordinary, there will be the final success of the unordinary.

In fact, when Zhou Shaoming played the family card, he was also creating a hero, but this kind of hero is not a superhero like Spider-Man who has superpowers and can only be masked.

Zhou Shaoming portrays an ordinary person, a hero who achieves his career on the road of his life, this is not a superhero, nor does he have any task to save the world, he just saves himself and his family, compared to those empty superheroes, this kind of little people's hard work is easier to impress people.

This is the effect that Zhou Shaoming wants, creating a flesh-and-blood character, when people see this story, they will immediately think of someone around them, such a movie is the most moving, and it can go deep into people's hearts.

What Zhou Shaoming wants is the kind of heart-warming touch, a kind of flesh-and-blood reality that happens around him!

What Zhou Shaoming wants is the kind of movie that resonates strongly after watching it, and then works hard!

What Zhou Shaoming wants is the feeling of cherishing family affection and life more after reading it.

All in all, the ultimate goal of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is to resonate with the audience, no matter what the box office is, as long as it can move the audience, it is a successful movie, at least a successful movie in his heart.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoming is sitting in the screening room of Supernova Company, and there are many employees of Supernova Entertainment sitting around, and in the screening room, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is being screened, on the screen, Jim Carrey is holding Evereya's hand, and the two are walking through the long street, next to the endless flow of people.

Jim Carrey taught Everea earnestly, warning her not to let anyone look down on her dreams, the two spent the night in the toilet, Jim Carrey's face was full of tears, and when he finally became an agent, Jim Carrey's eyes were red, and at the end, Zhou Shaoming's back came from the sound of female employees choking, and many male employees clenched their fists, their eyes full of strength and perseverance.

In addition, there are many employees who already have children who look very seriously, maybe they will think of their children, Zhou Shaoming thought so.

A total of 117 minutes, in these 117 minutes, Zhou Shaoming took everyone to experience the most difficult time in Chris's long life, although many people present participated in the production of this movie, although they are extremely familiar with many of the details, but when the movie is watched coherently, the warm touch still brings everyone a different feeling.

All in all, the production of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has been completely completed, in addition to copying the bottom volume and reporting to the relevant departments, its release is a foregone conclusion, and then what needs to be considered is how to best complete the publicity work.
