Chapter 924: Editing
"Wu, welcome back."
As soon as Wu Tian returned to Beverly Hills, Jarvis rushed over and said, "How is the situation on the Chinese side?" Is the rescue over? ”
"Thank you for your concern, Lao Jia, you are an international friend of China." Wu Tian smiled, "The rescue work over there is still ongoing, but now the focus has shifted to reconstruction." ”
It has been more than ten days since the incident, and it can be said that there is almost zero hope of finding survivors again, so cleaning up the site and planning and reconstruction are the next priorities.
"Wu, our crew is very concerned about the disaster situation in China, and the crew also raised a sum of money and donated it to the Chinese Red Cross Society...... Jarvis said.
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Tian nodded heavily, but he was muttering in his heart, it seems that the matter of collective apportionment of donations is not only a habit in China, but also foreigners.
After talking about the disaster in China, Jarvis changed the topic and showed his workaholic side again: "Wu, if we decide to release it for Christmas, we should release the trailer and the new version of the poster now." ”
"Oh, it's time to prepare, tomorrow, don't start work tomorrow for the time being, let's go edit a trailer first." Wu Tian said, "In addition, I also brought some video materials of the earthquake in China, I asked CBS to find some other video materials of various disasters, and we will edit some together tomorrow, I am going to let the extras take a look at it, deepen some of the feelings of the disaster, so as to ensure that the performance can show more realistic emotions and ......expressions as much as possible."
The filming of "2012" was carried out first easily and then difficult, and Wu Tian chose more literary dramas in the early stage, and there was no big scene picture. At most, there are some small disaster shots. And those scenes are grandiose. Requiring a large number of extras to participate and the production of large-scale special effects, Wu Tian left the final shooting - and this is the main reason for changing the schedule, after all, post-production takes time.
In addition, the disaster scenes in Wu Tian's design mostly occurred in summer and autumn, so they were delayed and delayed until now.
"That's a good idea." Jarvis's eyes lit up and he said. "Through real disaster shots, those extras can better control their roles, and I believe that in this way, our film will add a lot of color......"

"Wu, is the situation in the disaster area really so serious?"
Looking at the video materials brought by Wu Tian, Jarvis said with a painful expression on his face.
The materials brought by Wu Tian are all first-hand information on the scene, and without editing, the picture can be described as bloody and terrifying, and ordinary people can't bear it at all. Including Wu Tian himself when he watched it for the first time, he almost vomited.
Jarvis, a foreigner director, has a wide range of knowledge. But I've never seen such an intuitive video, so it's naturally unbearable.
"This is the end of the world." Wu Tian said in a calm voice.
"2012" is a post-apocalyptic film. It's about this kind of catastrophe. But the truth of the disaster has always been difficult to accept.
"Wu, our movie can't be made like this, otherwise it will definitely not be released, and the audience will definitely not accept it." Jarvis said.
"Hehe, what do you want?" Wu Tian smiled, "You don't think that I have experienced this natural disaster and my thinking has become extreme, right? Rest assured, I can tell the difference between a film and reality. ”
"That's good, hehe......" Jarvis laughed dryly, he was indeed worried that Wu Tian would be stimulated and make the movie like these realistic materials, then it would really be over - even if it can pass the review, it may not be acceptable to the audience.
"Alright, let's get started." Wu Tian smiled, turned his head to the editor of this film and said, "Rose, please this time." ”
The editor is a very key crew, and the quality of a movie, in fact, editing occupies a large proportion.
The filming of movies often does not follow the order of the script and story, and during the shooting, in order to have more choices, several pieces of the same scene will be shot in different ways, including some available and optional material shots, and finally all of them will be handed over to the editor.
Often a 122-minute movie, the final shooting of all the shots will be as many as 1,000 minutes, or even thousands or even tens of thousands of minutes! How to choose 125 minutes to use in so many shots is the editor's job.
The process of editing a film is often done by the director and the editor, but the editor plays a leading role, because the director often thinks that many of the shots he creates are perfect, and he is reluctant to discard them and wants to present them in front of the audience. But it's only one hundred and twenty minutes, and the trade-off is the key. One of the roles of the editor is to cut out and discard trivial shots of low value against the director's wishes!
"Wu, this picture is too bloody to be ......"
"The cry of this character is so miserable......"
"This victim is a child......"
Ross decisively edited the material brought by Wu Tian, so that Wu Tian didn't even have a chance to interject, and it only took one day to edit a material film of about an hour - according to the plan, all the crew members will watch this video next, in order to feel the real apocalyptic atmosphere......

"Little God. There's big news......"
Gao Yang said to Wu Tian in a rather excited tone.
"Oh? What's the big news? Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Something big is wrong in the mountain city. Ha ha. Gao Yang said with a smile. Second Brother Fu finally started to do it......"
After the conference last year, Second Brother Fu was transferred to Shancheng and began his career as a feudal official. However, as we all know, the mountain city is not a peaceful place, it has always been fought for by many parties, and the competition is very fierce, and Second Brother Fu forcibly parachuted over, even if he has a noble status. I can't stand those local snakes who have been operating in the mountain city for many years.
Therefore, Wu Tian said to Gao Yang and the others at the beginning that if Second Brother Fu wants to gain a foothold in the mountain city, he must make a big move, so that Gao Yang can pay attention to the situation over there and report to himself at any time.
Now that a few months have passed, and the disaster in Shuzhong has gradually subsided, Second Brother Fu finally can't wait to start acting.
"What's the situation?" Wu Tian asked.
Gao Yang told Wu Tian the general situation and said, "Alas, let me say." Second Brother Fu is really a cannon to fight mosquitoes, for a small bureau. There was such a big fight, so much so that the national media reported on this matter......"
"Hehe, you can't say that, people are shrewd." Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't forget, what kind of professional background is Second Brother Fu......"
Seriously speaking, Wu Tian thinks that these high-level people in China are the best at using the power of public opinion, except for Mr. Wen, who is the second brother Fu. Wen Lao always has a packaging master by his side, and Fu Erge is a media professional himself, and he is good at using propaganda tools.
When he was in Liancheng, Second Brother Fu relied on propaganda to praise Liancheng to the sky, and even praised many Northeast celebrities, adding a lot of aura to himself. And now in the mountain city, how can you not know how to use this advanced method?
Don't underestimate a small department, in the current domestic environment, the crime of the department is big news - under normal circumstances, even if it is caught, it is often handled internally, low-key digestion, where is there such a troublesome thing as Shancheng that is known to the world?
Well, this is definitely a scandal, which damages the image of the mountain city, and it stands to reason that he has no light on the face of the leader of the mountain city. However, the matter has to be analyzed comprehensively, considering that Second Brother Fu has only arrived in the mountain city for a few days, that guy's crime has been going on for many years, and it has nothing to do with Second Brother Fu.
On the contrary, Second Brother Fu found out this wicked person when he took office, and just erected his own glorious image, how do the people think of it?
In addition, tracing back to the source, the reason why Second Brother Fu started the knife was obviously because the guy didn't listen to the greeting, or the backer of the bureau didn't give face.
Such a method of killing many birds with one stone is not insignificant.
Wu Tian sighed, no wonder this Second Brother Fu can become a new generation of talents on the same level as Tie San Shao, it is really not simple, but it is no accident that he was defeated by Tie San Shao in the end......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Third uncle, Secretary Fu is showing his might in the mountain city, do you always feel anything?"
Wu Tian said to Tie San Shao over the phone with a smile.
"Boy, you haven't been criticized for a few days, and you're jumping away again?" Tie San Shao said with a smile.
"Alas, third uncle, people are kind enough to ask, do you have any actions, I can help, you don't appreciate it and train people?" Wu Tian called Qu Dao.
"Action? Be honest with me, don't mess around! Tie San Shao hurriedly said.
"Uh, no action?" Wu Tiandao, "You don't care at all that he stands firm?" ”
"Stand firm, stand firm, it's just over, and don't give anyone a chance at all, that's too unusual." Tie San Shao said lightly.
"Okay, bold!" Wu Tian grinned.
"Hmph, I don't believe you kid can't see it, don't sell it here!" Tie Sanshao said.
Wu Tian smiled, he could naturally see the problem.
Speaking seriously, although Second Brother Fu's wrist is powerful this time, he is not necessarily smart. In the current environment, he acted like this to provoke the dissatisfaction of others, and it can be said that he offended a large circle of people at once.
First of all, the ancient secretary who set this harmonious tone will be dissatisfied, and the pearl department, which has always paid attention to covering the lid, will not be happy, the Tie family is the biggest competitor of the Fu family, not to mention, even the Mu family, which has a close relationship with the Fu family, is afraid that he doesn't like his high-profile behavior. As for the Wu family, they have long been dissatisfied with the last time they helped the Hou family in private.
Therefore, on the bright side, it seems that Fu Lao Er has gained fame and fortune, but in fact, there are quite a lot of hidden dangers.
"Third uncle, no matter what, it's not a matter if he stirs up over there." Wu Tian said.
"Are you thinking about the Hou family last time? Don't worry, at least don't cause trouble in the near future, just make your movie in the United States honestly! Tie San Shao said.
"Okay, I'll continue to exile......" Wu Tian sighed resentfully, it seems that the time for revenge has not yet come...... (To be continued.) )
