Chapter 266: Post-Production

A film is just the end of shooting, or just finished, the next work is more and more tedious, the first thing is to edit, cut enough shots from the shooting location material, and skillfully connect them together to form a complete story.

After the editing is completed, post-production is still required, and some places where the sound effect is not good during filming have to be re-dubbed, in short, the workload in this is completely unimaginable to the novice Lee Jun-hee.

"Jun-hee! I think I'll delete this shot! ”

Park Junrong frowned and said, the shot he was talking about was Jin Xia-seok naked, holding a rice bowl, eating while being naked at home. Ben's shot.

Park Junrong is worried that when the film is submitted for review in the future, it will cause unnecessary trouble when the film is graded, and when Korean films are reviewed, the hierarchy system is implemented, for example, some films are positioned at 19 bans, which will unintentionally lose a large part of the audience.

Li Junxi shook his head and said, "No need! Brother Junrong! I know what you're worried about, but even if this scene is cut, there's a lot going on in the movie that involves sex. It is implied that it will also be positioned at 19 prohibition when it is ranked. ”

Strictly speaking, "Those Years" is not a standard small fresh work, because when Lee Jun-hee was creating, he insisted on keeping the male protagonist while thinking about the heroine. The plot of the plane as well as quite a few nakedness. Lu's shots.

When he was creating, Li Junxi thought that these contents would definitely make "Those Years" encounter a lot of trouble when it was submitted for review, but he still had no intention of deleting these contents. Fly. Machine.

It's a matter of physiology, not morality!

Even if all these clips are deleted, and even those foul mouths are re-dubbed, "Those Years. The Girl We Chased Together" is still not a campus pure love movie in the traditional sense.

As a punctual literary film, it has a beautiful and persistent love, the heroine is pure and weak, but it is not as pretentious and bloody as Qiong Yao's play, but full of youthful blood and arrogance.

Lee Jun-hee is to honestly explain to the audience the youth and emotional experience he wants to describe, and at the same time, he is very clever to understand what the post-70s, post-80s, and post-90s audiences need, and he knows how to hit the softest place in the hearts of people of all generations. He let the post-70s generation look at distant memories and lost dreams, see the tears and mistakes in the heavy rain, and run desperately on the night of the earthquake just to dial the phone of the person he loves the most. Let the post-80s watch the campus youth in white shirts and white sneakers, watch the shocking kiss at the wedding of his first girlfriend, and let the post-90s audience watch harmless pranks, depending on the hairstyle as his life, after graduation, the "group beating" has forced the students to betray their classmates' teachers, and it is "convenient" in the dormitory, what Li Junxi wants is this mix of small freshness and heavy taste, because in this way, it can easily "please" more audiences. Even if you lose a part of the audience for this, you don't hesitate to lose it.

Park Junrong's insistence on Lee Jun-hee also seems to have no choice, in fact, he doesn't want to delete these scenes, youth should actually be like this. Do whatever you want, full of blood, how can a piece of clothing cover it.

Moreover, South Korea's film censorship agency is quite kind. I don't want the functional department of the Celestial Empire to be a one-size-fits-all direct. The hard work of the actors is child's play, and in this regard, South Korea's review agencies are much more cautious.

After all, everyone knows that people in the Korean film and television industry are not easy to mess with, these people are crazy people who can do anything.

And most of them never expect to be saved from above, but solve the problem by themselves, after all, if they just rely on "solving the problem from above", Korean electronic music will not be able to go today.

The unity within Korean filmmakers is beyond anyone's imagination.

Like the current Celestial Empire, Korean films have a quota system for imported films, which was implemented in 1967 with a requirement of "screening at least six Korean films a year and ensuring at least 90 screening days a year." ”

After several revisions, the film quota system was once revised to "at least 146 days of Korean films must be screened every year." ”

But how can Hollywood give up on the Korean market?

A protracted trade war that will go down in history has begun.

As early as 1988, at the premiere of the first American film "Fatal Temptation" to be directly distributed in South Korea, a Korean film distribution agency put a large number of live snakes on the scene to express their protest.

In December 1998, the famous "skinhead movement" broke out, and in protest against the government's reduction of film quotas, almost all Korean filmmakers went out to shave their heads, and finally succeeded in forcing the government to back down.

From 2003 to 2004, Lee Chang-dong, a famous director who served as the government's minister of culture and tourism, continued to work hard during his tenure, but unfortunately failed to achieve results.

At the beginning of this year, the Roh Moo-hyun government once again strongly stated that it would reduce the film quota system from 146 days to 73 days. Lee Jun-gi, Jeon Do-yeon, Choi Min-sik, Lee Byung-hun and other first-line filmmakers gathered again to hold a sit-in protest, and Lee Jun-hee, as a newcomer in the film and television industry, naturally has to participate. The famous South Korean actor Choi Min-sik even held up a "against Hollywood monopoly" display board during the Cannes Film Festival, but Roh Moo-hyun still expressed a tough stance on behalf of the government after an online video conversation with Lee Joon-gi, and the final result was that South Korea began to implement a new 73-day film quota system from July 1, 2006.

In two large-scale 'head-to-head conflicts', Korean filmmakers have a record of one win and one loss, which seems to be a draw, but they are the ultimate winners.

After the "Bald Head Movement" in 1998, Kang Digui's "Life and Death Spy" was released, which broke the box office record in Korean film history and beat "Titanic" to become the highest-grossing Korean film of the year that year.

The two "revolutions" not only gave birth to box office hits, but also opened a new production model that stimulated the market for Korean films.

"Life and Death" opened up the concept of "big production" to Korean films, although it is still difficult to escape the imitation of Hollywood's heavy traces, but in the future, a large number of large investments such as "Tai Chi Flag Flying" will follow.

Therefore, it is completely different from the Celestial Empire, in South Korea, it is the filmmakers who can really play a leading role in the film and television industry, not those functional institutions, so when reviewing the film, those "people in power" sitting in the office also have to be careful, unless the content really can't pass the test, most of them are just graded and will never be actively deleted.

However, a movie can only be more than 100 minutes at best, not even two hours, and there must be a part of the shooting material that will be discarded, and this is what Lee Jun-hee and Park Jun-yong are doing now.

In the editing room, from the tacit understanding between the two people at the beginning, to the subsequent dispute, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, for whether to keep a shot, the two people can fight until they are red-faced, but no one has thought of giving up, after all, this movie is their hard work.

After every dispute, the two people can't help but laugh out loud, and they admire each other's serious attitude towards work and movies.

"I'm really convinced! If I knew you were so stubborn, I would never let you into my editing room! ”

Obviously, Lee Jun-hee won this confrontation just now, although Park Junrong was a little dissatisfied with this, but after re-watching the effect, he found that the whole story was obviously smoother than subtracting.

Li Junxi swallowed a mouthful of fried noodles and said with a smile: "I'm all in, Brother Junrong, you can't knock me out if you want to!" ”

Park Junrong looked helpless, obviously he has been tossed by Lee Junxi a lot these days, but after listening to Lee Junxi's opinion, he feels more and more right.

Lee Jun-hee is obviously a genius filmmaker, and such a talent goes to be an idol, and Park Junrong feels that it is simply a waste!

"That's all that's left for the finale! After that, the soundtrack, animation effects, it's all up to you! Park Junrong said, moving his shoulders, he has been stuffy in the editing room for the past few days, he is really tired.

When Lee Jun-hee heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he could hear Park Jun-yong's extra-string voice, although the two of them didn't say it explicitly before, but Park Jun-yong already knew that next, the next movie of the NRG company, Lee Jun-hee planned to try to make his own Zuò.

In this regard, Park Junrong just decided that it was a pity, it has always been three for a series, and there is no way to cooperate with Lee Jun-hee, a genius screenwriter, to complete a series of movies, which makes Park Junrong very sorry.

"Brother Junrong! Do you think I'm mean, from you, I learned everything I can and kicked you away, I did this, in fact, I decided to be despicable! ”

Park Junrong smiled: "Jun-hee! Don't say that, if it weren't for you, I'd still be filming commercials and MVs, how could I have the opportunity to sit in the position of film director, and I would be very grateful to be able to work together twice in a row! Besides, I didn't teach you anything, you learned it by watching it yourself! So, don't say that! ”

Lee Jun-hee sighed in his heart, Park Junrong is a talent, although there are many such talents in the Korean film and television industry, but it is very rare to find a talent who can fully understand his own ideas.

Li Junxi thought about it, suddenly looked up at Park Junrong, hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Junrong!" I don't know if you are interested in joining NRG? (To be continued......)
