Chapter 120: Post-Production
In July 1999, after the completion of the "Great Sage Chapter", it began to enter the post-production stage.
Before, for the filming of the movie, Wang Qinian had done his best!
Wang Qinian is basically satisfied with the shots!
Of course, even if the level of shooting is okay, the post-production zuò can't drop the chain. If, the post-production zuò is taken lightly, the quality of the cut film may be reduced.
Therefore, Wang Qinian made a preliminary editing by himself, and spliced the material into a 2oo minute of wool, and after that, Wang Qinian came to the door again and asked the cheap master Zhang Shigu to move the scissors!
"Teacher Zhang, I have to trouble you again!" Wang Qinian said respectfully.
"Small!" Zhang Shigu was indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was very proud in his heart.
Although he has been working for more than 30 years, due to the film and television industry, directors, screenwriters, actors and other characters on the stage may have a high status.
As for the behind-the-scenes workers like editors, they are only treated as workers and have never gained much respect.
Wang Qinian is different, he has great respect for all professionals with special skills, and considers them artists, not just craftsmen!
For this cheap master, not only after the movie makes money, but also gives him red envelopes.
Moreover, the filial piety of gifts for the New Year's holidays has never been broken.
The human heart is flesh and blood!
Even if Wang Qinian and Du Jie did not worship him as a teacher, Zhang Shigu would wholeheartedly help the two. What's more, now he is still a cheap master for two, and being called a few times master fully satisfies his vanity.
Zhang Shigu is naturally more serious and will not hide his secrets!
……
August. The editing is complete.
The lens and picture are much more delicate than the previous blank.
But the lack of BGM accentuation still lacks a little taste.
At this time. Wheat Field Music Company, also from the Central Conservatory of Music, personally favored several students with good skills to help create film music.
"The requirements for the soundtrack of the movie "Journey to the West", I want to explain a few points. The first music to set off the atmosphere, very prepared and creative zào force. Second, I don't want subtle, watery music. I just want music that evokes a change in the audience's feelings. or make the audience sad and shed tears, or make the audience's heart surge. Or make the audience feel relaxed and warm, or nervous! Wang Qinian emphatically said, "The requirements for musical instruments are not limited! Style, no limit! But it has to be good. Be accurate, make the audience's heartstrings, and be plucked by the music! That kind of spring and white snow, I don't want it! ”
"Director Wang, don't worry, it's on us!" Many students from the conservatory of music are very energetic.
Next. Many high-achieving music students began to watch films every day in the post-production studio of Beijing Film Studio. After that, I began to meditate and began to play with musical instruments.
There are also some of them who have taken out the tunes they have created in the past and tried them one by one.
Of course, Wang Qinian did not object.
The works they have created before, they have to be suitable. It can also be adopted.
After a period of selection, Wang Qinian picked out seven of the hundreds of tunes - "Hometown", "Pathos", "Loneliness", "Hero", "Monkey Sky", "Missing", "Slaughtering the Gods", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "The End of Heroes"!
These are a few original tunes. Wang Qinian had never heard of it in his memory before.
However, the music is put inside the movie. It brings out the atmosphere very appropriately.
Of course, after Wang Qinian took out "All Things", all the musical talents knelt down for him.
"Master, take me as an apprentice!"
"To be able to create such a great song as "All Things", and still want us people to create BGM?"
Seeing this, Wang Qinian said with a smile: "Inspiration! Please come, the main reason is that my inspiration is sometimes ineffective and unreliable! One person's inspiration is limited, and it is impossible to cover the original music in the whole movie! ”
……
After the editing and dubbing, soundtrack work is completed.
The movie is only one last step away - special effects!
Wang Qinian is not so strict with Hollywood as he is about special effects, as long as it can be icing on the cake. A simple AE special effect can meet Wang Qinian's requirements.
AE special effects - that is, the use of S software, processing and synthesizing some visual effects. This software, which was launched in 199o, is an entry-level film and television animation special effects software.
Basically, learning to use s can already meet the special effects of low-end film and television dramas. At least, it is enough to make commercials and TV series, and use this software to do special effects.
Of course, S has not yet opened the Chinese version, so it is still very rare for special effects artists to use S in China.
Therefore, Beijing Film Studio contacted a special effects studio in Hong Kong, and it is said that the level is okay, proficient in S software, and in addition, it also masters the use of a variety of animation special effects software.
However, more than a dozen people in this special effects studio, after they went to Beijing, they actually started with a lion, and the special effects cost 10,000 yuan a second!
Wang Qinian sneered and said: "Boss, this is an AE special effect, an entry-level special effects tool that can be used on a personal computer, and the price is only 2ooo dollars!" With this software to do special effects, do you dare to charge 10,000 yuan per second? One second of special effects is worth the price of a genuine special effects software, are you bluffing me?! ”
Many of Hollywood's special effects use more advanced software. As well as professional large-scale government services and equipment to do, the special effects team, thousands of people at every turn, just the labor cost and equipment costs, is astronomical, so it will be very expensive!
At the moment, these people only use a special effects software that can run on a personal PC, and more than a dozen people do special effects. Dare to drive out such sky-high prices?
Isn't that?!
Seeing it, Wang Qinian couldn't help it, and the personnel of the special effects studio looked very embarrassed!
Seeing that Wang Qinian couldn't be bluffed, the special effects staff had to say: "Software is just a tool, the most critical thing for special effects is people, and special effects lenses have to rely on our creation, right?" Our staff is very experienced, and they have assisted in the special effects production of "Storm and Clouds", and my level is very high......"
"Fengyun is a special effect made by Xiantao Digital Company!" Wang Qinian interrupted his boasting and said, "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"Hehe, the orders received by Xiantao Digital, many special effects people in Hong Kong have gone to help, and our studio has also made some outsourcing projects!" These special effects personnel said even more humbly.
Wang Qinian suddenly said: "You don't want to be liars, right? ”
"No, it's not ......" these special effects personnel were anxious, "Actually, we have done it in Xiantao Digital before, and Beijing Film Studio has contact business with Hong Kong, and the money is too small, Xiantao Digital doesn't want to do it!" Because, they are picking up "Chinese Heroes"! However, Xiantao Digital doesn't do it, we are willing to do it! Five million, no, three million, we try our best to do what you ask you to do until you are satisfied! ”
Wang Qinian thought about it and agreed. In fact, he doesn't have high requirements, and it is enough to be able to do AE special effects. If the requirements are too high, he can't afford to spend that money.
It's really not good, add some money, please Hong Kong's Xiantao Digital.
However, when Wang Qinian saw the name of this studio on the text, he suddenly felt a little interesting - Yima Studio!
It's kind of interesting - a very famous animation special effects team in the next few years! The technical level is definitely not worse than that of Xiantao Digital Company! (To be continued)
