Chapter 69: The only thing that can eat swan meat is the toad
The next day, after a short rest, I was ready to devote myself to the post-production of the film. But I unexpectedly received a few phone calls, the first one was a big beauty in the bar, "I thought you were joking, but fortunately I looked at the business card after I went back, otherwise I would have been fooled, big!" Guide! Perform! She expressed her resentment of being deceived word by word.
"Little director, little director." Happy face was kind, and said with a smile: "People say that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and contemptible people are fledgling, but they don't dare to be big." The other side listened to it very happily, how could it be a little angry, and the baby voice smiled: "I conveyed your words to Leslie, he said that if you want the disc tape, you will go back to Hong Kong and find him to get it." He thought I knew you well and took good care of me during the filming. At the time of checkout, double remuneration is settled. Originally, there were only 10,000, but now I am given 10,000 more. ”
"Stingy." Pouted happily, "Thank you anyway, Miss Lin." ”
"No thanks, I should be the one who says thank you...... Hey, how do you know my surname is Lin, I don't think I've introduced myself. Isn't it interesting to me, ask me about it, hehe. ”
"Poof~!" Happy almost squirted, is Sister Chi Ling this character?
That's right, it was Sister Chi Ling who accidentally met at the bar.
It seems that in her previous life, her life trajectory did start her debut when she participated in Leslie Cheung's MV. Looking at the years and months, it is almost the same, there should be a trip to Hong Kong. The world is so big, I bumped into it without thinking about it, but it is very different from the image of the bosom sister in my memory. Xin said, "I'm still young at this time, and I haven't graduated yet." Child's words are untaboo, and children's words are taboo. Hung up the phone of Sister Chiling, took the initiative to call Leslie Cheung, and explained that he was busy and fainted, mainly because he was worried about Gao Pan and worried that he was also busy. Actually, it's still a happy mistake.
Leslie Cheung bluntly said that he was not interesting enough, and he didn't want the disc, unless he arrived in Hong Kong next time he came to play cards.
The big star took the initiative to find a card to play, and he naturally agreed.
The third call he received was from France, which made him very happy.
"Congratulations on the completion of your movie, it should be very lively, but unfortunately I didn't go."
It's rare for a big beauty to take the initiative to contact, and she started to talk happily, and said with a smile: "You know, without a big beauty, no matter how lively it is, you will feel regretful." I haven't congratulated you on your film being selected for the main competition, how about it, are you confident that you will come back with a Palme d'Or? ”
The movie "Flowers of the Sea" is still a little impressive. It is a story directed by director Hou Xiaoxian about the high-end brothel that took place in the so-called "Changsan Shuyu" in the Zhonghai British Concession. In this uneventful epic, Hou Xiaoxian uses his rigorous and steady long lens to show a panoramic description of the sea prostitutes-women in the late Qing Dynasty.
It is said that because the Qing Dynasty forbade official prostitution, it was not regulated in the concession. In this movie, Zhonghai women are portrayed as too evil and too powerful, showing the prosperity of yin and yang, filming most men too uselessly, and being completely controlled by women, the most pitiful is Liang Chaowei, the beloved prostitute-girl went to "prostitute" the scene, but the result was still re-thrown into her arms.
To watch Hou Xiaoxian's movies, you have to prepare in advance, his usual realistic style of calm narrative, the shots are always beautiful, but audiences who are used to watching popcorn movies are a different story. This style is very similar to his "Assassin Nie Yinniang", which won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival many years later. The pace of the film is very slow, or very "stuffy", and there is little dialogue, and the picture is still, almost like a drama without too much dialogue, especially for audiences who can't understand the dialect and read the subtitles. But this is also the charm of the film, when watching the film, I was immersed in it, and at the end of the song, I looked up and found that the "sea flower" in the film was too far away.
In terms of actors, Li Jiaxin is the best, Michiko Haneda and Liu Jialing are also good, the whole film is a hall drama, there is no outdoor shot at all, the dialogue is in Wu language, and Cantonese is occasionally spoken. But it is worth saying that although it is like a drama, it speaks and behaves in a natural manner, with a strong sense of reality, and is full of nostalgia from a hundred years ago.
It's a pity that this year's Cannes seems to have only been nominated, and has not won an award, and I don't know if his butterfly can fan the wind to France.
"No kidding, how could it be that I won the prize." Li Jiaxin doesn't have the slightest confidence, the movie is good, but her acting skills are always scolded for vase, no matter how hard she tries. Shaking his head, "Don't think about it in this life." Let's get down to business, I revised your novel when I was bored in the hotel these days, and I don't know if it meets your requirements, so I'll send it to you. ”
happily rubbed his ears, "I heard you right, you are not busy walking the red carpet in Cannes, and you are still thinking about my novels...... Goddess, please take my knees, my gratitude to you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control. If you were in Jingshi, I would definitely treat you to a big meal, but unfortunately you are not here. ”
"Haha." Li Jiaxin smiled heartily, "I haven't been to Jingshi for a long time." Now that Hong Kong has returned to China and Macao is coming soon, maybe I will really go to the mainland. ”
"Come on, then. Gotta come. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want, and it's time for me to be your tour guide. ”
"Huh." The goddess smiled.
Happy is a little confused, what does Nima mean by this. I can't see the goddess "hehe" the most, and I feel like I was instantly beaten back to my previous life as a ** silk. But he is not ** silk after all, he is unique, and his self-confidence is infinitely inflated: he feels that the meaning he pursues is still too subtle, and next time he will be more blunt, the goddess has never been short of people to chase, and the opportunity is fleeting.
Swans can't fly in the sky forever, in fact, what they love the most is the clear water pond, and the only ones who can eat swan meat are toads!
If it was really "King Xiang had no intention of the goddess", he would not be stalked.
After chatting nonsense, when I hung up the phone, I found that I had been chatting for more than half an hour. There's still not enough. He smashed his mouth and felt that the biggest gain of this trip to Hong Kong was not to finish the movie, but to meet two beauties.
Shake your head and immerse yourself in your work.

Generally speaking, the post-production of a film includes three major aspects: assembling shots, which is usually called editing; The production of special effects, such as the special transition effect of the lens, does not necessarily require special effects for blockbusters, and some lenses such as fade in and out, circle out and circle in also need special effects; There's also sound production, which is vertical montage.
Happy first movie was cut by himself, at first because of financial problems, but now that there is no shortage of funds, of course I have to find a golden scissors to be responsible. In particular, the editing of this movie is so important, and above all else, he is also lacking in confidence.
On the basis of a deep understanding of the script and the director's overall concept, a professional editor takes the storyboard script as the basis, and through the fine and just right editing combination of shots (picture and sound), the whole film has a rigorous story structure, a smooth plot and a natural rhythm change, which helps to highlight the characters, deepen the theme, and improve the artistic appeal of the film.
As close collaborators of the director, the editor has a decisive responsibility for the success or failure of a film through meticulous and complex re-creation activities. Must be a faithful embodiment of the director's creative intent and artistic conception. However, editors can also make up, enrich or even correct some deficiencies and defects in the footage through the editing of the shots, and can also partially adjust the original structure of the film, or partially change the director's original concept, so as to make the film more complete.
It's not always a good thing to do everything yourself. You know, in Hollywood, the crew will exclude the director from the editing work. They believe in the saying "there is a specialization in the art industry". In fact, compared to most fast gunslinger directors, the amount of film shot happily is definitely on the small side, and his draft editing was reflected in the film as early as the shooting.
Compared with the original movie in the original time and space, Happy is very confident that the actors' performances are even better, all of them are one vote, coupled with the acting skills of the four stinkers who are not to be outdone, as well as the repeated comparison and speculation of Zhuyu in front, every shot will only add a lot more color than the original.
It's all up to the editor's scissors!
Of course, Bao's role cannot be ignored, so there will definitely be Bao's figure in the final clip.
