Chapter 204. Genius war prodigy
Hong Kong's "Entertainment Daily" - ""Royal Sister" challenges "The True Colors of Heroes", and Debao Actor fights! ”
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" - "'Debao' Pan Disheng, protesting 'actor' Duan Zihao, and who is proud to watch the movie war? ”
Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po" - "When the movie has a dispute, the prodigy of Hong Kong is trying to compare!" ”
……
The Hong Kong media is the best at fanning the flames and concocting news, not to mention that the entire Hong Kong film industry is surging now, and many people are waiting to watch a wonderful drama, so they are more concerned about the dispute between Debao and the actor.
In addition, curious people are very concerned that "Royal Sister" is a women's drama, starring two women; "The True Color of Heroes" is a pure man's play, starring three pure masters. Then the question arises, whether the women's drama is popular, or the men's drama prevails, which is also a major attraction of this battle.
Therefore, the comparison and rendering of the two dramas intensified, and the whole Xiangjiang went crazy about it.
……
Just when Debao Company was making a lot of movie promotion, Duan Zihao's actor entertainment was very low-key, with no promotional viewing activities, no overwhelming posters, and no TV scrolling.
For Duan Zihao, none of this is needed.
In fact, now many people have figured out Duan Zihao's temper, the smaller the film, the more hype he will promote, and the more blockbuster the blockbuster, he is indifferent.
Many people wonder why this is? Only Duan Zihao himself knows. Since it is a blockbuster, there is no need to invest more publicity, Hong Kong is too small. The greater the publicity, the more wasteful.
For example, now his "True Colors of Heroes" has been filmed from the beginning to the end now, and now, the trailer of the second version has been broadcast wirelessly, and its magazines and newspapers have also leaked all aspects of the news bit by bit. It soon whetted the media appetite again, and the craze continued until the third version of the trailer was released. In that order. You only need to do some small actions, why bother with that "Royal Senior Sister" PK promotion fee in a big fanfare?
Instead of having this spare money, it is better to invest in post-editing production.
That's right. In Duan Zihao's view, whether the movie is good or not is not promoted by himself, but the word-of-mouth after its release, so only the quality of the movie is the last word.
So. Duan Zihao put 100% energy into the post-production of the play "The True Color of Heroes".
At this moment, in the special effects department of Actor Entertainment, which is the so-called post-production department, Duan Zihao dragged Fa Ge to finish the narration for the film, and began to be busy with the preparation of the effect sound source.
The sound source of the effect is the sound of the fight in the film, and these are all done by a skilled voice artist. Duan Zihao is on the side, and he only needs to be responsible for telling the head of the dubbing team his own concept.
Luckily, after the filming of "True Colors", each department approached its work with absolute rigor and enthusiasm. This makes the post-production of the film extremely perfect.
For example, the gunshots in the film, the effect that Duan Zihao wants is definitely not very loud, but a relatively heavy effect. In this way, you can increase the perfect surname of the film. The recording crew worked very seriously, and in order to match the few gunshots in the film, they came up with a lot of plans, such as covering the gunshots with a cloth, which sounded more somber.
even dubbed the scene where Brother Xiao Ma shot a Taiwanese boss in a nightclub, and the staff tried to restore the plot of the script. He even moved the recording equipment to a real nightclub, and recorded all kinds of sounds for three days in a row. Even the sound of the drinker's fist was recorded for more than a dozen times. In fact, the recording team took this very seriously, and even Duan Zihao admired it.
In terms of dubbing in subtitles and other languages, the talents found by the fat man Wang Jing instructed the human resources department to be really elite. Among them, there are not only local language experts in Hong Kong, but also mainland language experts in order to facilitate the conversion into Chinese, and even foreign language professors as professional consultants.
Of course, language is definitely not translated literally, and Duan Zihao has always felt that this is too stupid.
Therefore, the translator basically does not translate exactly the literal, but analyzes the meaning of a certain line of dialogue in the film word by word, and when they turn it over, they have to keep the dialogue and the atmosphere and style of the film consistent, which is definitely a very difficult thing.
Fortunately, Duan Zihao has been preparing for all this since the establishment of Actor Entertainment, so in terms of pre-preparation and post-production, the actor dares to say that it is second to none in Hong Kong and even Asia.
Subtitling and dubbing are just very tedious technical tasks, but soundtracks and editing are extremely artistic jobs.
In terms of soundtrack, Duan Zihao has already chosen the song "Love of the Year" he composed for Leslie Cheung as the theme song, but the trouble is which passages in the play should be inserted in this song.
Duan Zihao is not a god, of course, he will not know so well how his previous life was "inserted", so he had to watch the filmed drama from beginning to end with the staff who did the soundtrack, to see which scene needs to be sublimated and improved with the help of music, and which scene needs other music to highlight the atmosphere.
This kind of thing is like reviewing something, it's okay when you do it the first time, it's okay to do it the second time, but when you do it for the third, fourth, or fifth time, you want to throw up. At least Duan Zihao has this feeling, even if the music is beautiful, you will listen to it hundreds of times in one breath and it will become a harsh noise.
In fact, the soundtrack is definitely a very artistic work, which is not only about the music style and layout, but also whether the design can match the style and plot changes of the film. It is also necessary to make the beginning and end of each piece of music able to mobilize the mood and atmosphere of the film, and it must also match the sense of the picture, whether it is the director or the soundtrack, as long as one negligence is very likely to lead to the fact that the soundtrack and the film are not very compatible.
Because of this, under the leadership of Duan Zihao himself, the soundtrack artist in charge of this play opened his mind and got the soundtrack of the whole play in just two days, which can be regarded as making enough time for the release of this play.
The rest of the work is editing, as an editing master trained by Duan Zihao, Zhang Shuping has long been comfortable in this regard, many times, without Duan Zihao personally speaking, he already knows what to do, the tacit understanding between the two makes the editing of "The True Color of Heroes" easy, and it is also the best and fastest one of many post-production work.
……
As time went on, it soon came to mid-July.
The two blockbusters "The True Color of Heroes" and "Royal Sister", which Hong Kong audiences have been waiting for, have been officially released.
Before the release, many filmmakers gave box office predictions for these two dramas.
In the eyes of many people, Duan Zihao, who has always been known for creating box office miracles, may be Waterloo this time.
Although Actor Entertainment and New Art City and Golden Harvest have joined forces, it is now a summer vacation, and the two film companies Golden Harvest and New Art City themselves also have their own movies to be released, so there are not many theaters that are allocated to or help Actor Entertainment; On the contrary, Debao has acquired nearly 30 movie theaters through cool means, plus their original theater chains, there are more than a dozen more than actors.
Don't underestimate these dozen or so theaters, if you roughly calculate, a movie theater can arrange 100 people to watch the movie, ten is 1,000 people, and the ticket price of 10 yuan for an audience is 10,000 yuan, and six consecutive screenings a day will be 60,000, 600,000 in ten days, and 1.8 million in a month!
That's the box office gap!
It can be said that from the very beginning, Actor Entertainment lost at the starting point, so many people who like Duan Zihao and support Actor Entertainment are very anxious; On the contrary, many guys who are jealous or hostile to the actor applaud one by one.
No way, although Duan Zihao's popularity is very good, he is a mediocre talent who is not envied, not to mention that he is a genius among geniuses. If it is not envied, it is called strange. (To be continued)
