Chapter 59: What a Big Deal
After lunch, Yan Qing and Miao Miao drove to the "office building" in Jacquard Lattice Hutong.
After getting out of the car, Miao Miao followed Liu Mingren and Yili to the innermost conference room on the right side of the first floor, Yan Qing pricked up his ears and paid attention, probably to talk about the content of the next few episodes of the program or something, but Yili's eyes peeking at him were a little complicated, and there was a little shyness in his smile.
didn't have time to think about it, Yan Qing, Mo Ran and Tan Sen, two cameramen, took the footage they had shot before and the professional editing team supported by Pearl Satellite TV, and plunged headlong into the intense editing, soundtrack and other post-production work.
Unlike the original film, which had undergone major changes, Yan Qing used a lot of long shots during filming due to the limitations of scene construction and time.
This is very much in line with the requirements of the rustic drama of the "Grotowski school" that Yan Qing learned, giving the stage to the actors, relying on their wonderful performances to support the depth of the drama.
Yan Qing has confirmed it through playback every time he finishes filming, just judging from the performance of the male and female protagonists, whether it is the role of Weng Huaijing's Li Na or his own role as Suo Leixing, they have done this.
Before the start of filming, Yan Qing made up the final film effect in his mind, and he made clear plans for most of the scenes in the storyboard script, and naturally shot very few useless waste shots.
Coupled with the time loop in the script, some shots can be reused, and the total number of shots to be edited is reduced, which makes editing a relatively easy task.
Sure enough, at five o'clock in the afternoon, with Yan Qing's outline and overall situation, the post-production team supported by Pearl Satellite TV completed all the editing, dubbing, and soundtrack work of the three plots.
Except for a short voiceover from Lina, these three videos of about fifteen minutes are almost complete.
told Mo Ran to remember to arrange for Weng Huaijing to take time to come over and record a voiceover, and Yan Qing relieved himself to hand over the finishing work of these three nearly completed videos.
When Yan Qing got up, he thought:
"I hope everything goes well, and I can hand in an answer sheet that I am quite satisfied with, at least worthy of the sweat I have shed during this time."
"Teacher Yan Qing, can I take a photo with you?"
Tamsyn suddenly stood up and approached him with a wistful expression.
"Yes."
Yan Qing kindly cooperated with Tan Sen to take a group photo.
Pacing and planning to find Miao Miao to meet, Yan Qing noticed that many post-production staff around him looked at Tan Sen, who was still fiddling with his mobile phone, with a look of envy.
He couldn't hold back, and sneered, "What's the matter... It should be fine, right?"
…………
The lattice area in the later stage of the editing was only about ten meters away from the conference room, and Yan Qing, who looked for it, found that the impromptu conference call to discuss the recording of the third episode of the program was still going on.
As soon as he opened the door, Yan Qing heard Luo Bing's voice on the phone, with the meaning of the customer talking about the data:
"After the broadcast of the first episode of the program, the number of valid submissions received by the official whispering blue V account of our program group in the past few days, which was screened by the whispering intelligent big data algorithm, has increased significantly compared with before."
Luo Bing's pace of speech became more soothing.
"I believe everyone has also discovered this, the number of words and the completeness of the story in a single manuscript have also been relatively improved, and there are at least seventeen or eighteen submissions of two or three thousand words like the one I have now."
Luo Bing incited: "Don't be afraid of difficulties, we are fully qualified to create a lot of valuable original scripts through collective brainstorming." ”
Miao Miao noticed the situation at the door and waved at him to signal Yan Qing to sit next to her.
After Yan Qing sat down, Miao Miao whispered in Yan Qing's ear: "Brother Qing'er, whispering and Mingzhu Satellite TV are competing for the content carrier of our program's output, it's been almost three hours, and no one can convince anyone." ”
Yan Qing controlled his knee-jerk reaction to frown, and when he entered the conference room, the eyes of everyone who looked at him were a little strange.
Only when Liu Mingren lowered his head and didn't look at Yan Qing, he organized his language before he replied to Luo Bing without humility or arrogance:
"Director Luo, you are very right, and I also admit that you mentioned before, considering the richness of the content of the program, choosing to write a script is much fuller than a song..."
Luo Bing on the other end of the phone quickly followed: "Yes, it's good..."
Liu Mingren's voice started again: "But the problem now is that even if all the colleagues who came over from Pearl Satellite TV are temporarily stationed in the imperial capital, it will be difficult for us to complete the creation of a script and the shooting of excerpts in a week's cycle." ”
After Yi Li bit her lip with all her strength, she added: "Yes, Sister Bing, we recorded the program last week on the basis that Mr. Yan Qing had already come up with the framework of the script in advance, plus three complete plot synopses, and all the staff worked at full load to complete the program recording as scheduled. ”
She also glanced at Yan Qing a few times as she spoke, and her gaze was immediately away, and Yili's tone became a little flustered:
"Uh... It's hard for this situation to become the norm, well... Unless we don't shoot excerpts later in the show, we only shoot the script writing stage. ”
"It seems like she doesn't look at me the same way as Tamsyn's gang..."
Miao Miao didn't mean to stand aside at all, she leaned closer to Yan Qing, who had a calm expression, and whispered: "Sister Qing didn't express her position there, and in the draft contract for our renewal of the program, a new guarantee clause has been added - for the official filming of the movie after the script work is produced..."
Feeling the blowing in his ears, Yan Qing quietly moved to the other side, keeping a certain distance.
Miao Miao's voice became thinner and thinner, and he pricked up his ears the whole time to understand.
"Whisper Pictures and Pearl Satellite TV, both under the Whisper Group, enjoy the right of priority funding second only to the main creator of the work. In addition, the right of first refusal is allowed to be transferred, but it must first circulate within the program producer. That is to say......"
Yan Qings understood: "Pearl Satellite TV doesn't have much intention of investing in movies or something?" ”
Seeing Miao Miao blinking and replying to him, Yan Qing continued to speculate in a low voice: "And Whisper Pictures has taken a fancy to our script output ability and the promotion effect of the program?" That is to say, we and Sister Shao's side have a lot of investment that is not round, or a script that they can't see, they all want to take it. ”
Miao Miao's sparkling eyes flashed, signaling Yan Qing's speculation to be complete.
Luo Bing fell silent on the other end of the phone, and seemed to choose to close the microphone and discuss for a while.
After reopening the microphone, Luo Bing's words were as slow as usual: "Only filming the script creation process, the content of the show will be too obscure and boring, and we have a preliminary assessment... There is a risk of losing a large portion of the on-demand audience. ”
She compromised: "If the production cycle is extended, in the third or even the fourth episode, our program can continue to use songs as the output carrier, and we can carry out the preliminary preparation of script creation at the same time." ”
"Boom! Boom! ”
There were two knuckles tapping on the table on the other end of the phone, and Luo Bing's tone suddenly hardened:
"We have always said that this is a show with no upper limit on production costs, and we can also seconded professional personnel from within the group to be stationed in the manpower section."
Shao Qing hid on the other side of the phone and said nothing, holding his breath like a competition, without any intention of standing aside.
Yan Qing had a lot of thoughts spinning through his mind, but he didn't stand up and speak.
A low, thick voice came from the teleconference terminal equipment, and Yan Qingdang could hear that it was Li Yannian, who was sitting in Shanghai and Haihai.
"Luo Bing, why don't you come here first today. This also has to consider the wishes of our two main creators, after all, Professor Weng Huaijing still has teaching and research work on his side. ”
Li Yannian said finally: "We also have to consider their actual situation to make a shooting plan, this week, in my opinion, let's choose the draft according to the song first." ”
Luo Bing still chose to close the microphone to discuss, and after a while, Luo Bing's gentle voice came: "Okay, then let's do this first, let's discuss it later." ”
Li Yannian said with a smile:
"If you find a suitable manuscript on the side of the whisper, you can also draw out the framework of the script first, and then design a few plot outlines, and then take them out for collective discussion at the meeting."
Luo Bing replied apologetically: "Okay, I'm sorry to delay everyone's off-duty time." ”
An emotionless synthetic female voice came from the conference call terminal: "The host has been disconnected, and the whispering intelligent conference terminal reminds you that this conference call will automatically end in 30 seconds..."
