The director is at the center of film and television creation, so the director will have a sense of editing in the process of shooting and storyboarding, and the editor will also participate in the process of storytelling and editing on the basis of understanding the director's overall intention. Because of the special nature of editing art, it cannot be completely replaced by the art of directing, so in the creative process, editing and directing are not only cooperation in work but also complementary in art. The reason why we talk about the relationship between editing and directing is because if we understand the relationship between editing and directing, we understand the relationship between editing and other elements of the film.

A DreamWorks blockbuster almost takes more than 200 hours of film, and "Youth Musical" also takes nearly 20 hours of film, and although it is the same story, it can be edited into two completely different versions. If these 20 hours of film are replaced by the number of frames, the film is 24 frames per second, then the basic unit will be "million", and it is these more than one million small, grid sorting, colliding, and combining that constitute the whole movie.

And one more grid, or one less, is a world of difference. With those few more frames and seconds, the movie is likely to look clunky and draggy; Without those few frames, the film will become disorganized again, and the characters in the picture will even "drift". What the editor has to do is to arrange these little grids well, no more or less, not only to pay attention to seamless editing, but also to conform to the rhythm of the film, and to express the story and emotions of the film in the best way.

In the filming phase of the film, the director and the cinematographer are husband and wife: when it comes to the editing stage, the director and the editor are husband and wife. Whether their "marriage" is happy or not directly determines whether the movie is a good movie or a bad movie, and the temper, tacit understanding, aesthetics, etc. of the two must be "called", otherwise it is likely to end in divorce, and the reason for the divorce is domestic violence.

Quentin, the director of "Vulgar," said, "When I made my first film, I knew only one thing, and that was that I needed a female editor. The female editor knows how to take better care of the film and take care of me. They weren't that competitive and wouldn't do anything to beat me. They would give me care and help me finish the film. "A teacher who once taught Chen Feng's editing class thought it was true, and it was in the same vein. Chen Feng also thinks it makes sense, female editors should be more patient, and for "Youth Singing and Dancing". Women's grasp of youth and sunshine should also be better than that of men with thick lines.

After a week of non-stop interviews, Chen Feng finally found a suitable candidate, Zhang Li, a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a black-framed glasses, she has experience in editing many movies, including "Violent Family", she has a good temper, and she is in the interview conversation. She also knows very well what "Youth Musical" needs, brisk, youthful, sunny, and actively pursuing what she wants to do.

In the editing room at this time, Zhang Li looked at the screen of the computer dedicated to editing, and a psychological shot of Chu Feng was playing on the screen. She controls the mouse in her hand, and she wants to eliminate a few of the images in this set of shots. Chen Feng next to him hurriedly shouted, "Don't! Sister Zhang, these pictures can't be cut, I need them! "You need it everywhere." Zhang Li smiled slightly, looked at Chen Feng and said, "Our first cut version has 200 minutes, and what we are going to do now." It's about cutting it to less than 100 minutes. She explained: "Director Chen, I know your feelings, directors are always greedy, if they can, they are not willing to delete a grid." But why do directors need editors? Because there are some scenes that need to be deleted, but the director can't do it, then it's up to us. With that, she added a little bit to the editing software and removed the images.

Chen Feng sighed helplessly, grabbed his hair, and said softly, "Okay." But soon, he widened his eyes and shouted again: "No, no, this set of shots must not be deleted!" …,

If you cut it like this, there's nothing left. Seeing that Zhang Li insisted on cutting it, he said bitterly: "You can't be like this...... Please, oh...... It's over! After being silent for a while, he suddenly said again: "Sister Zhang, go back to the part just now, I thought about it, you can't cut it like that." "Editing is a process where directors and editors are constantly haggling, experimenting with all sorts of shots, arranging frame by frame, deleting and putting back and out. Therefore, editing is much more cumbersome and boring than shooting, especially for directors, many times they will be mentally tortured, and they will naturally feel uncomfortable when they look at the satisfactory materials that were finally filmed on the set, and they are cut like garbage.

On set, the director is the biggest; But in the editing room, the editor is in charge of the main voice.

Even a big director like Chen Feng will not engage in dictatorship in the editing room, as Zhang Li said, in terms of lens selection, the director needs the help of others.

At the same time, the promotion of the film is also underway, and two days ago, the release date and plan were released on the official website of "Youth Musical", and the list of 500 schools in the first week of the screening was also announced. However, some students from schools that are not on this list are quite angry, protesting on the official website, and even saying that "Youth Musical" is discriminating.

However, Chen Feng and the company have already prepared, announcing an event "Show Yourself" for campuses across the United States, which will start on November 15 and end on December 20. As long as you upload the video of your dancing and singing to the official website of the event, you can participate in the event, and finally vote for the top 10, they will get rich prizes, and they can also go to Hangzhou and Hong Kong for free to participate in the premiere of "Youth Singing and Dancing"; In addition, as long as you participate in the event, you will have the opportunity to become one of the 100 lucky winners, there are no prizes, but you can also come to Hangzhou and Hong Kong for free, participate in the premiere, Hangzhou and Hong Kong one-day tour, and free return air tickets.

The campaign is estimated to cost around 2 million, and the total budget for the promotion of the film has risen to 10 million. But this 2 million is worth spending in absolute terms, and this event can drive more reports from other media; Second, it will make more students and more schools participate, and with the release of "Youth Singing and Dancing", it will set off a round of singing and dancing craze, which is the most important thing.

How can I get students interested in participating in activities? The prize is only secondary, and the focus of the publicity is the slogan of the event: "Show yourself and show your youthful and beautiful side!" "But if you want to win the prize, you have to practice singing and dancing from now on: and when it's time to judge, remember to canvass for votes from your classmates.

When these things were arranged, Chen Feng didn't pay attention, and the rest only needed to wait for the results.

At this time, Chen Feng was staying in the Hurricane studio to deal with the special effects on "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", this TV series said that the editing for this period of time has been completed, and then Chen Feng handed it over to Hurricane and asked Hurricane to make special effects, but he didn't expect it to be completed in just over half a month.

The TV series "Fairy Sword" did not take more than 30 episodes as Chen Feng expected at the beginning, and after a streamlined production in the later stage, there were only 26 episodes in total, and the reason why the Tang version of Fairy Sword in the previous life had a lot of episodes was that they added a lot of plots to it, and a certain fairy sword fan carried a mop and stood in front of their company and scolded for three days and three nights......

When the production was completed, Chen Feng watched it first. While watching, I was also rapping and amazed, if these special effects are handed over to someone to make, there will be more than hundreds of millions!

The Shushan Sword Sect alone is towering into the clouds, floating in mid-air, thousands of feet above the ground, this point makes people sigh and marvel, and those Shushan disciples are stepping on flying swords, patrolling in formations, among which the demons and monsters are even more like the real thing, Li Xiaoyao fights with the sword, pointing and moving, extremely smooth. …,

"Great!" Chen Feng couldn't help but praise, and while speaking, he copied this paragraph, and in the process of watching, Chen Feng mostly jumped to watch, carefully watched the place where the special effects were used, cut out many scenes, and prepared this as a promotional video for the fairy sword.

The launch of the promotional film naturally has to be put on the three David TV that already have a good cooperative relationship with Huayu,Shonan Satellite TV,China Television and TVV are also happy to nod and agree,Advertising money is nothing,Although it's just a short promotional video,But it's also something that can earn ratings,Even they have received instructions from the director,See how the promotional film reacts,If it's good,Then spend a lot of money to take it down。

The TV series is successfully filmed, and then the TV station buys it to broadcast according to the number of episodes, how much is the amount of an episode, and then the TV station broadcasts it, depending on the number of ratings, and increases the advertising fee for this period, and makes money through these.

The broadcast time of the promotional video is set at six o'clock in the evening, and the TV programs during this period of time are generally watched by teenagers, and this time period is just after school, and it is usually when teenagers occupy the TV.

The promotional video is more than ten minutes long, and the three David TV on the other hand also spent a lot of money to buy it, and in more than ten minutes, how many advertisements can be broadcast!

At the beginning of the promotional video, it is natural that the hero goes to the Rakshasa Ghost Cave to start a shocking battle. A series of fights finally woke Li Xiaoyao from his sleep under the pot of the Rakshasa ghost woman.

Then the screen jumped, and it came to the part where Li Xiaoyao peeked at Zhao Ling'er taking a bath and asked for pills, the plot of this paragraph is very humorous, and the audience is also bursting with laughter.
