Chapter 260: Failure only makes people grow

After watching these pictures, Zhou Shaoming praised it, and couldn't help but watch it again, and then followed this part coherently followed the part made by George behind, and watched it again in its entirety.

After reading it, Zhou Shaoming's frowning brows stretched out, which made John next to him breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Shaoming was very satisfied with these perfect and grand pictures and images, and felt that there was nothing to improve, so he whistled not too loudly, applauded John and praised: "You have done a very good job, but don't relax, there are still many things to do today, and we don't have much time!" ”

John nodded, saved the footage, and began work on another one.

As for the part of the picture editing, Zhou Shaoming also deliberately watched it, and it was almost the same as he expected, but Zhou Shaoming, who pursued perfection, still deleted some cumbersome pictures.

The special effects work is progressing very smoothly, according to this progress, it may be completed in early December, and after having a bottom line in his heart, Zhou Shaoming is also much more relaxed, constantly going back and forth to several production rooms in the morning, but he is very busy.

Near noon, Zhou Shaoming had the opportunity to meet Christina, and after a couple had lunch together, they entered work again, but fortunately, the two of them had lived a two-person world in Greece before, so the two who were busy with their respective work at this time didn't care much about the opportunity to meet, but walked side by side towards a better tomorrow.

Just like this, every day from home to the company, from the company to the post-production department, in a few days, Zhou Shaoming has been living a life of three points and one line.

However, what made Zhou Shaoming feel a little relieved was that the special effects production department was under his heavy reward and supervision. showed unrivaled courage. The special effects shots of the whole movie were completed in a short time, and after watching the whole thing, Zhou Shaoming still just used one word to highly summarize the work of the special effects production department.

β€œPerfect!”

It's perfect, except for perfection Zhou Shaoming can't think of any words to describe it, the whole movie is done in one go, without the slightest sense of cumbersomeness. Even a fastidious director like Zhou Shaoming praised it after watching it.

Ciro and ILM's John have also learned a lot from each other during their time working together and getting along. So the two who were not convinced by each other at the beginning also began to be heroes and cherished heroes, and finally became good friends. It is precisely because of the cooperation of the two people that the entire special effects production department will complete the special effects production in such a short time.

When saying goodbye, John reluctantly gave a small gift to Ciro. Ciro also gave John a gift of Supernova's own design in return.

Of course, these are just small episodes in between. In a big way, after the special effects of the film are completed, the music and sound are configured, and after all this is done, it is basically done.

Relatively speaking, music and sound are relatively simple, but they are important components that should not be ignored. The preliminary work has been realized step by step according to the schedule, and Zhou Shaoming's estimate. It would take about another two or three days to complete the recording.

So at this time, Zhou Shaoming's pace of life is not as fast as before, there is no need for editing, special effects, and music to run together in three studios, just staring at a recording studio.

Early in the morning, the weather in Los Angeles was a little cold, Zhou Shaoming came to the company early, and before he was in a hurry to sit in his office, a person rushed in, and the person who came was Jenny, the director of the post-production department.

The palace soundtrack John Williams is old and likes his independent life, and did not accept Zhou Shaoming's invitation to work on Supernova Pictures, but joined the post-production soundtrack as a working group, and Jenny, although a woman in her forties, was a professional talent he introduced, and Zhou Shaoming quickly entrusted her with important tasks.

After seeing Zhou Shaoming, the outspoken Jenny couldn't hide the joy on her face, and said to him: "Boss, come and see, we have designed the soundtrack yesterday, and it can be inserted into the movie at any time, and now we are waiting for you to speak." ”

"Well, okay, you go first, I'll be right away." Zhou Shaoming said to Jenny with a smile.

Seeing the boss speak, Jenny nodded, and then walked away, until Jenny's back disappeared into the corridor and came to the company with Zhou Shaoming. ”

Listening to Christina's joke, Zhou Shaoming was helpless, and the next second, he kissed Christina on the face: "It's not to make money to support you." ”

These words amused Christina, and she stared at Zhou Shaoming with a wicked smile and said, "Actually, I can also raise you." With that, he giggled.

Zhou Shaoming laughed, and hurriedly said: "I don't want to be a man who eats soft rice, I'll go to the sound effects production department first, soon, Spartan three hundred will be completed!" ”

"OK, I'll go back to my office then."

After a simple farewell, the two of them went their separate jobs.

Zhou Shaoming came directly to the sound effects production department, before, when the previous special effects were not completed, the sound effects production department was already very busy, and now this final stage is even more busy.

It's rare that Zhou Shaoming also met Jon here, Zhou Shaoming has been busy with post-production of the film in the past few days, and Jon has been busy with the promotion and release of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", so the two have never met.

"Boss, the rumors outside say that The Lord of the Rings will be a movie that sweeps everything, the more I think about it, the more worried I become, I also watched its trailer, frankly if it were me, I would also be very likely to be attracted to the medieval world, we will face off with the Lord of the Rings, the odds are really not big!"

"Are you worried that we're going to fail?" Zhou Shaoming smiled.

"This ......" Jon wanted to say yes, but he couldn't say it when he saw Zhou Shaoming, after all, it was better to say less in front of the boss if he was angry enough to destroy his prestige.

"I don't know what to do, but I have to try. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, hehe, that's how I am. Even if I do fail, I don't have much to lose, and the experience of failure will make me grow more. Don't worry, Jon, in fact, my goal is not to surpass the box office or word-of-mouth of The Lord of the Rings, I just want to give myself and Supernova Pictures a rare opportunity to fight the super blockbuster head-on, this will also be a step we will inevitably take, timidity is not my style, everyone as a united team, work hard together, and face difficulties is what I want! Zhou Shaoming's eyes were bright, and he continued to increase his tone and said: "Failure will only make people grow, don't be afraid of failure, and don't work hard because you may fail, Jon!" ”

"Okay, Smith Zhou, I'm relieved to hear you say this, I'm really afraid that you will be angry with the media, and you will surpass the Lord of the Rings data." Jon rubbed his head and explained with a little embarrassment.

After listening to Jon's explanation, Zhou Shaoming smiled and patted Jon's shoulder and said in Chinese: "Calm down and be patient, dress up, there are always surprises." ”

"Boss, I don't really understand the meaning of this sentence." Jon looked at his boss with a bitter face, it was obvious that in order to better communicate with the boss, he ran to learn Chinese for a few days at his own expense, but the guy who returned in defeat did not understand Zhou Shaoming's words.

Chinese is too broad and deep, Jon tried very hard to learn a little fur, but the tongue just couldn't turn the corner, and finally ended in failure.

"The meaning of this sentence is not to be in a hurry, to be the most prepared, and the opportunity will come at any time."

Hearing this, Jon showed a thoughtful look.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shaoming didn't care about Jon, who was still thinking about life, and walked directly to Jenny, who was still working.

Jenny saw Zhou Shaoming coming, so she said to him: "Boss, come and see, how is this voice modified?"

As she spoke, Jenny played a recording to Zhou Shaoming.

This is a recording of Leonidas pushing the Persian envoy into the pit.

At first, the voice seemed to be a little low, as if there was a suspenseful atmosphere in it, making it impossible to guess what would happen next, Leonidas seemed to say to the Persian envoy in a somewhat unbelievable tone: "Crazy? ”

At this moment, the voice suddenly took a turn, and Leonidas was heard shouting: "This is Sparta!" After saying that, the sound of a kick on the body came.

The mournful screams of the Persian envoys were transmitted, and the whole background music became solemn, as if there were thousands of troops hidden, and in this background music, there was the sound of the Spartan warrior's weapon falling on the Persian envoy when he slashed it, and the Persian prolonged wail.

All this is sandwiched together, although it is a bit chaotic, but Zhou Shaoming feels very real, this has perfectly shown the plot of this scene, the two countries are at war, do not cut the envoy, but Leonidas is going to repeatedly provoke himself, and even threatened to kill the entire Persian envoy of Sparta, how is this not a saber-rattling atmosphere, as soon as the Persian envoy dies, the next thing to greet Sparta must be the anger of Xerxes.

And the scene was originally a mess, and all kinds of sounds were sandwiched in it, only in this way could the atmosphere of the time be highlighted.

After listening, Zhou Shaoming nodded, then raised his head and said to Jenny: "This section can be used, you insert it into the corresponding picture, let's see what the effect is." (To be continued.) )
