Behind the wide desk, Amy, who was wearing a white nurse's uniform, straddled the man as the host, panting and untying the other party's wide clothes, and the action was particularly intense.

"Take a break."

After watching this paragraph, Linton stood up and stretched, and the editor's assistant paused the film to turn on the lights.

"APLUS, Amy's character is a stupid girl who has just taken off her braces, is it a bit abrupt to suddenly take such an initiative?" Linton asked.

"It's okay......"

Song Ya narrowed her eyes to adapt to the light, "Anyway, all the women in the play can't resist the attraction of the male lead, right?" ”

"Haha, the story of the legendary liar! This lucky boy will be red. Linton was in high spirits, gesturing to Jared Leto on the curtain, "We used so many beautiful actresses to complement his character. ”

"Hmm."

Famous director Ridley Scott's movie, don't expect to borrow the position to shoot the intimate scene, Song Ya looked at the two people who were still entangled when the frame was frozen, and said to the editor: "Maybe you can cut the plot where Amy and Leto discuss the abortion experience in bed can also be cut?" That saves us another minute. ”

"Isn't that okay?"

The editor looked at Linton, "Amy's character wouldn't have had an abortion, she wouldn't have been kicked out of the house by her conservative parents to work as a nurse trainee in Atlanta, and she wouldn't have met the male lead......"

"She brought home the male protagonist's fake doctor boyfriend, and her parents immediately forgave her, which is very logical and humane." "What's not to be satisfied with when a nurse's daughter who has had an abortion can marry a young and handsome doctor?" Linton said. ”

"Hmm."

This plot was not deleted in the original movie, Song Ya thought about it, and nodded in agreement, "Then don't delete it." ”

The cat-and-mouse game had been filmed, and before Mariah Carey's Dream Tear Stain was closed on the opening night, Ridley Scott quickly made a director's cut that lasted more than three hours, and he left the editing room on the front foot, and Song Ya, who came from New York, entered the door with Yeremov, Linton, and Weibo Pictures, a subsidiary of the distributor Disney, without telling him, and began to wield big scissors to exercise the final editing rights.

In addition, there are some areas that need to be used for post-processing are also handed over to special effects companies, most of which are cutouts with little technical content and eliminate some out-of-date goofs on the exterior.

Ridley Scott is a director who has a penchant for big issues and the dark side of society, so he often adds too much personal reflection to his films, which is well known throughout Hollywood. Song Ya compared his director's cut version with the original version in his head, and found that most of the plots that he played freely were social discussions about why the male protagonist could frequently succeed, such as the big company disease of Pan Am, the arrogance and incompetence of Pan American executives, the FBI's helplessness against new types of fraud, the outdated and conservative thinking of FBI agents with low cultural level, and the snobbery of ordinary people after the male protagonist disguised himself as a high-profile profession such as a passenger plane captain, doctor, and lawyer, etc., etc., etc.......

The overall tone of the film is unconsciously a little gray, and there are also many deep social thoughts that can make the audience feel the complex taste.

But that's the biggest difference from the original.

I don't know which director made the original Song Ya, but that person obviously understands the market better than Ridley Scott, and the angle presented is much more sunny, and the viewing experience is more relaxed and comfortable.

Why is everyone stupidly deceived by the male protagonist? Because the beautiful era of rapid development before the Vietnam War in the United States was like this, people naturally trusted each other, there were many employment opportunities, and the society was thriving, and of course, there was no resistance to fraud.

The unconditional respect and trust of pilots, the professions of doctors and lawyers, was not a snob, but a general tradition in the society of the time.

Pan American and hospitals and other units are defenseless against high-IQ fraud, and there are many management loopholes like a sieve, which is not stupid, or that sentence, the people and companies of the United States at that time did not have so many twists and turns in their minds, and they would think of taking advantage of those loopholes to make money.

Under the original version of the performance, the more comfortable the male protagonist is, in addition to bringing the audience the refreshing viewing experience of the legendary liar's omnipotence, the more nostalgic the simple atmosphere of the vibrant entire rice society at that time is nostalgic, this sense of nostalgia is especially popular with older rice country old white men, and the Oscar jury is naturally included in it.

"By the way, after going to the Da Vinci grading table, the whole picture of the movie was brightened, and now this version always feels gray."

Regardless of whether the original version is true or not, Song Ya knows that kind of treatment is more pleasing to the audience and the Oscar judges, maybe the film critics will prefer Ridley Scott's version, but why should he not get along with the box office and awards? So...... Let's return everything to the successful routine of the original movie.

Apocalypse is still not a pit most of the time.

The editor looked at Linton again.

"What do you think?" Linton looked at Yeremov and the people of Bowei Pictures, and discussed in a low voice.

Song Ya knew that she hadn't gained enough respect in a place like the editing room now, if she hadn't taken half of the investment herself, and asked the old man of the former famous mouth Johnny Carson to bring Roy Disney here for a while, it is estimated that most of the requests would be disobeyed or even ignored by the editor and Bowei Pictures.

"Well, we think we can."

Fortunately, Linton is a bit brainless at the moment and trusts himself, especially after watching the finished film, which is a good sign, "Anyway, let's go ahead first." After Song Yamo waited silently for a few minutes, he ended the discussion and asked the editor's assistant to turn off the lights.

Just as the editor was marking up the footage to continue, the door was pushed open, and Harvey Weinstein walked in with a blonde stunner in his arms, followed by his brother Bob Weinstein alone with a briefcase.

What a high-profile guy, Song Ya recognized the two blonde actresses, one was Ashley Judd, whom she had met many times, and the other seemed to be called Mira Sovino? I heard that she just starred in the film Non-Powerful Aphrodisiac directed by Woody Allen, which opened in April, and Miramax was responsible for the release. Ashley Judd's face immediately became a little ugly when she noticed that there were many people in the editing room, and her hugged body leaned slightly outward, while Mirasovino stared at everything in the editing room greedily with her big curious and excited eyes.

Song Ya saw the scene of him hugging left and right, and could only secretly rub his real name in his heart and envy him.

"Harvey."

Hollywood still abides by a lot of old traditions, such as unless there is a contract before, the editing room, especially after the scissors are handed over to the distribution company, will generally shut out the main creator and even the director of the film, like Harvey with a guest actress and an unrelated rookie actress to come in directly, to be honest, it is a bit taboo, so Linton immediately frowned, and shouted the other party's name with a straight face to express his displeasure.

"It's okay, isn't APLUS there too?"

Harvey smiled and shook hands with Song Ya and the others, "I have other things, just take a look and leave, Bob will stay here." ”

"Okay."

The cat-and-mouse game project Miramax also has investment, and Linton can't help but give face, and he knows what he wants to see, and says to the editor: "Cut back to the flight attendant." ”

The editing room was not big, and Harvey sat behind Song Ya in the dark with the fragrant breeze, and whispered: "I heard that Ridley filmed you beautifully, don't be unhappy." "It's supposed to be comforting Ashley Judd.

"Hi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Like the original, Ashley Judd, who stole the role of Allen's side, opens with a frontal close-up, and she raises her eyebrows and asks the line of words in a charming way.

The male protagonist is disguised as a passenger plane pilot for the first time, and he won't even open the spare chair in the cockpit, and the airlines will generally use that empty seat to carry his peers for free, just as the protagonist played by Leto was quietly groping while responding to the captain's questions on duty, Ashley Judd, who was wearing a beautiful flight attendant suit, came over, and gently moved away from his waist with both hands a little affectionately, and pulled out the chair from where he had stood before.

"I'm sorry, did you drop this necklace?" After getting through the discomfort of take-off, Leto began to tease her with the old routine.

“NO！” She loudly denied it, but soon the camera turned and she was shouting YES from her bed.

After watching this intimate scene, the editor paused the movie and turned the lights back on, and there was no more scene behind her.

"Women like pretty boys like Leto, right?" Harvey whispered to Ashley Judd, "But young boys are not worth mentioning in the face of real power. ”

Ashley Judd didn't respond.

"Are you satisfied?" Harvey asked again, "Didn't you cut too much, did you?" ”

Ashley Judd snorted this time.

"That's good, you two picked up the two-sided Monroe project...... Harvey got up with his arms around the two, said hello to the others in the room, and Shi Shiran went out and left.

"Then let's move on." Linton was surprised, "Bob, do you need to start from scratch?" He asked his brother Harvey, who had stayed.

"Okay."

Bob Weinstein is a middle-aged man with glasses and a bit of a stiff and reserved attitude, except that he is very fat, and his personality and style have almost nothing in common with his brother Harvey, "So let's start all over again?" ”

"No problem."

In addition to Harvey Weinstein's bottom line, that is, the role of Ashley Judd and the bank teller who stole the role of Charlie was not cut too much, and Linton and Song Ya were not ready to accommodate Weinstein Pictures, which only invested in millions of dollars, Bob's other requirements were destined to be ignored in the end, and the two took advantage of Yeremov's attentive accompaniment to start reviewing the film again, and found an excuse to go out of the editing room for a private chat.

"It's good, I feel better after you changed it like this."

Linton was full of confidence, "Then there is only one way in front of us now, it will be released before ninety-six years, and then it will win the Golden Globe and Oscars." ”

The Golden Globes are usually held in mid-January and are the bellwether of the Oscars in February or March, and the winning films must be released publicly in the first year. It's August, and with the time for post-production and the soundtrack, the schedule is already tight.

"OK, that's what we planned before." Song Ya nodded in agreement.

"You don't have to worry about the cost of setting the file and publicizing it, I'll talk to Bo Wei, everyone in the entire project in terms of awards must work together and go their own way, in order to hurry, the project may have a small overrun."

Linton said: "There are also investors and original script creators Johnny Carson, male lead archetype Abagnell, and male second archetype Joseph Shea to help run the publicity expenses may also need us to pay, because they are all named consultants and other positions on the crew, and we also need some money to send away the screenwriters who are starting to start to be restless." ”

"How much overspending?" Song Ya asked.

"About three million, which is still half of Hollywood Pictures and A+ Films." Linton replied.

"No problem."

Song Ya was very satisfied with Linton's work, and it was completely acceptable for such a complex project to only overspend by 3 million in the end, so he readily agreed.
