Chapter 341: The Final Version of Those Years
So, in the following time, Li Chencan and Wei Ansheng also began the process of winning the support of some second-tier film distribution companies.
Now that the policy and strategy have been decided, the next step is only to implement it.
It's just that compared to those first-tier distribution companies, some second-tier distribution companies are doing worse things, and these guys are directly unwilling to accept "Those Years"! Even if it is a form of direct sale of all copyrights, I am not willing to accept it!
The reason for this is simple, if it is released, they feel that they can't afford the release of "Those Years" with their energy and slots recently, but if they use a buyout...... Looking at how well-made "Those Years" was and spent so much money on filming, they also felt that their money was simply not enough to buy out.
As a result, these companies also began to pass the buck to each other, and they didn't even talk about it.
Of course, there are some discussions, but the distribution ability of these companies is really poor...... Even if it is the fragrance of wine, they are afraid of deep alleys, and with their distribution and publicity capabilities, "Those Years" will definitely not be pleased, and it will not be able to meet Li Chencan's requirements.
In this way, it has already arrived on October 10, and the finished film of "Those Years" has come out, which is a complete film, not just a rough cut version.
The version of "Those Years" that appears now has a total of 109 minutes, which is slightly different from the original.
Originally, the Taiwanese version of "Those Years" was more than 109 minutes, and the mainland version was only 101 minutes, but now "Those Years" in Li Chencan's hands has been carefully carved by himself. There are versions that have been discarded in some places and increased in others.
The main thing that is discarded is that there are things that are different from the current state of the plane, and the other things that are not in harmony are removed as much as possible, although the plane is this one. The empire's films are still quite open, even if you show your breasts, even if you depict genitals, you can be released, but in terms of rating, it will be directly pressed to the restricted level, Li Chencan's goal is to make "Those Years" directly into the mass level with the widest audience, and the discordant things will be deleted as much as possible.
As for the additions, there are some details that Li Chencan feels that the original "Those Years" did not explain clearly. He feels that if these details are added, it will help everyone increase their understanding of "Those Years", and also increase their understanding of what the hero and heroine are not able to be together.
It's after this adjustment now. "Those Years" finally had a 109-minute version, and the current version is already the best version in all the places such as dimming, color tone, montage effects, special effects, etc., and this version is the final version released in China after the final.
Because he couldn't talk about many things at all, Li Chencan didn't blindly ask Wei Ansheng to follow him all the time. After arranging to meet Le Quang Film Distribution Company next Tuesday. Li Chencan also came to the rented viewing room first to see the screening effect of "Those Years".
Soon, all the feelings began, from the scramble to kiss the bride at the beginning, to the development of the plot one by one, all of this unfolded in front of Li Chencan's eyes.
The plot is familiar, but there are many differences, especially the different actors in it. It can also make Li Chencan easily feel the difference between "Those Years" in the two time and space.
The first scene of jerking off has been directly eliminated by Li Chencan, and the erection stalk has been eliminated as much as possible. So the beginning is a little less interesting than the other version of "Those Years", but at least a little more harmonious...... Anyway, in fact, what everyone likes to watch "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is not that they like to watch those funny clips, what everyone likes is the nostalgia of this movie and the kind of feelings it shows.
Therefore, in order to be able to get a more favorable rating for the film, some things have to be abandoned.
However, Li Chencan's version of "Those Years" also has many nostalgic shots that are more in line with the setting in this time and space, this nostalgic feeling, and it is also a nostalgic feeling in another time and space, Li Chencan has already found the G. spot when filming "Old Boy", so he was also very familiar with the road when filming "Those Years", and it didn't take too much time or too much effort to completely shoot the nostalgic feeling of "Those Years".
Of course, the nostalgia here is not as strong as "Old Boy", after all, "Old Boy" is mainly the nostalgia of the post-70s and post-80s, and this "Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together" belongs more to the nostalgia of the post-90s, in "Those Years", many of the scenes that can be seen are where the post-90s have lived, but even the post-70s and post-80s do not have to be depressed, because in "Those Years", they may not find much resonance in the scene, But many feelings can still be found together.
When this emotion arrives, everything else is secondary.
At the stage when some of the emotions of the two people in the last two people are entangled to the outbreak of contradictions, Li Chencan's plot should pay more attention to details, so that everyone can feel some estrangement between the two through more details, and how did the regret that suddenly appeared after the most Lu obviously love each other, but not be together.
In this regard, after editing and filming, Li Chencan also thinks it is very good, and it can completely match the background of the empire in this time and space.
Some things like this, when counted, did cost Li Chencan a lot of effort, but from now on, they are all worth it.
Because he made a pretty good film, and this film is not completely just a copy from another world, but has Li Chencan's own ideas, and he also added a lot of his own pure thoughts about this movie, although such a "Those Years" cannot be completely said to belong to Li Chencan, but there are indeed many shadows of Li Chencan in it.
On the whole, my own "Those Years" has some unique advantages in the inheritance of the movie, and the logical connection and logical structure of the movie are relatively well displayed, and the plot is more in line with the actual development.
In terms of the performance of the actors, the actors selected by Li Chencan for this movie, Song Fan, Jiang Xiaoyue, Yu Chenxi, some people like them, although most of them are not professional actors like old actors, but they have a kind of vitality, and there are many traces in the performance, there is a sense of simplicity, such a group of people instead show the small and fresh style that the "Those Years" movie wants to show to the fullest, from Li Chencan's eyes, these actors and the original "Those Years" are not better or inferior. But they all have their own characteristics, these actors are more innocent and infectious in their performances under their own training, and the actors are younger and more in line with some movie settings.
In terms of film editing and post-production, "Those Years" also has many unique places, and the color grading and film plot editing are also completed under Li Chencan's requirements and on-site guidance.
In this way, Li Chencan is quite satisfied with this "Those Years...... My second film in this world is also the first movie in the real sense, and the effect is quite good now, so no matter how much you pay, it's worth it!
But officially after watching the full version of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", Li Chencan's heart has a little more edge - such a good movie, if Li Chencan is sent away by the very domineering terms of a random distribution and production company...... That's really not cost-effective and a waste of resources! He had to choose carefully and choose the most suitable company for the release of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!
Under the guidance of such an idea, Li Chencan has now begun to absorb some information from major distribution companies as much as possible, in fact, although the second-tier distribution companies of the empire sound completely less powerful than the first-line ones, and they don't seem to be capable of listening to the name...... But in fact, the second-tier distribution companies of the empire also have their own uniqueness in terms of contacts and all aspects, otherwise, in the fiercely competitive imperial entertainment industry, they have no way to survive and squeeze into the ranks of the second-rate.
Li Chencan and the Li Guang Film Distribution Company they made an appointment to meet on Tuesday, unlike many other film and television production companies, Li Guang Film Distribution Company does not have the ability to produce films independently, they exist solely for the purpose of distributing films, such companies are of course not as large as those companies that can make their own films, but such a company that is specifically responsible for distribution, from some angles, they have to be more focused.
The object of the Le Quang Film Distribution Company is those big film production and distribution companies, sometimes these companies have too many films to distribute, their channels and carrying capacity are insufficient, they will share some things, they will share some business, and they will completely accept the distribution cooperation of some independent films, through these two things, the Le Quang Film Distribution Company because the ambition is not very big, and the positioning is accurate, and very focused, but it has gradually gained its own place in the imperial entertainment industry, And because of the accurate positioning, they will not compete with other companies for too many useless resources, but when they need similar companies, many people will also think of Le Quang Film Distribution Company.
Li Chencan himself is also looking forward to cooperating with this film company, and he also feels that he may be able to reach a good agreement. (To be continued......)
