Chapter 9 Post-production is complete
The proportion of imported films and domestic films is less than one-tenth, and the depression of domestic films can be seen.
"Two Narnia." Another couple came over and bought movie tickets.
"I've heard that this movie is very grand."
"That's an American fantasy blockbuster."
The two talked in a whisper, walked in front of Gu Cancan, and went to the screening hall to watch the movie.
Gu Cancan wants to say that there are many scenes in domestic movies that are very grand, do you want to watch them?
Another couple came over and wanted to buy a ticket.
The two held hands affectionately, and the girl whispered to the boy, "What are you looking at?" β
The boy glanced at the movie program and said, "I heard the third child in the dormitory say that the Chronicles of Narnia are but, why don't we watch this?" β
"Actually, you can take a look at "The Two of Us", which is very good and has won the Tokyo Film Festival Grand Prix."
Suddenly, a dull female voice came from behind him, which made the two of them tremble.
The two turned their heads to see that it was a tall and slender girl wearing a black mask talking to them, the girl was wearing a mask to cover half of her face, but just looking at the upper half of her face exposed, you could know that she was a very beautiful girl.
"What are you doing?" The girl in the couple put her arm around the boy and asked with hostility in a wary voice.
Gu Cancan put his hands in the side pockets of the long windbreaker jacket, his eyes were bent into crescents, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Don't do anything, just give a suggestion, support domestic movies, the two of us This movie is really good." β
"No, we'll choose for ourselves." The attitude of the girls is still hostile.
It was the boy who stared at Gu Cancan and was reluctant to turn his eyes away.
Not far away, a man in a black suit appeared nearby and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, what's wrong with the three of you?" β
"It's okay, there's something wrong with this woman, let's see what we both do." The girl in the couple spoke first.
Seeing the black suit coming over, Gu Cancan stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to say anything.
I kindly recommend an excellent movie to you, so that it won't be such a big reaction.
"Hello, I said Zhang Weiliang, the manager of the New Film Association, is there anything wrong with you?" Zhang Weiliang said to Gu Cancan.
He had actually noticed Gu Cancan a long time ago.
Gu Cancan has been sitting in the ticket hall for more than half an hour, and he doesn't go to the movies, and he doesn't look like he is waiting for someone, he keeps staring at the ticket office, and he is a spy sent by other theaters.
But people are just sitting like this, he can't go and get rid of them, and now that the other party has finally made an unusual move, Zhang Weiliang hurried over.
Regarding the man in a suit who claimed to be the manager who suddenly appeared, Gu Cancan nodded and said politely: "Hello, I have nothing to do, I just kindly recommend them to watch the two of us, this movie is very good." β
"That's it?" Zhang Weiliang said suspiciously.
"That's it. What else? Gu Cancan glanced at him and said lightly.
"Ma'am, I suspect that you are a competitor who has come to smear you, please follow me to the office to explain the situation." Zhang Weiliang said coldly.
"What?" Gu Cancan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "I said, are you okay?" What qualifications do you have for me to go to the office to explain the situation, can't you even talk in the theater? β
"I suspect you've been sent by a rival to make trouble." Zhang Weiliang's attitude became tougher and tougher.
I just wanted to watch a movie, Gu Cancan, who just wanted to watch a movie, didn't expect to encounter such a disturbing thing.
What to do, Gu Cancan thought quickly in his mind, and said unceremoniously: "You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Manager Zhang, you didn't take the wrong medicine today, are you not afraid of infamy for the new film association? β
Zhang Weiliang sneered: "What's the matter, your heart is empty?" I've long thought you were sneaky, wearing a mask and secretly counting the number of people we watched movies, it was a business research, right? β
Gu Cancan felt that the sun was over, what kind of god is this Nima, how could he encounter such a thing when watching a movie.
"I think you're just recruiting for the new film club, I said you were the one sent by the competitor to make trouble, right?" Gu Cancan was really helpless. There are sheets
Zhang Weiliang snorted coldly: "Don't be poor here, let me tell you, hurry up, don't let me do anything with you." β
Gu Cancan understood that he had touched a mallet, and he really regretted that he came out alone.
There is no way, she doesn't want to clash with Zhang Weiliang in public, otherwise her true identity will be exposed, and it will not do her any good.
Reluctantly followed Zhang Weiliang to an office, Gu Cancan thought about it, if there was no one inside, he would resolutely not enter the office.
Fortunately, there were several people in the office.
"Wei Liang, who is this?" The people on the faΓ§ade saw Zhang Weiliang walking in with a girl wearing a mask and asked.
Zhang Weiliang smiled proudly: "It's a commercial spy, I observed her for more than half an hour, and I didn't watch movies, I counted the number of people there, and told people that the two of us were better looking than Narnia." β
Gu Cancan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and complained frantically in his heart, this Zhang Weiliang is just afraid that he is a fool.
"I'll go, Weiliang, are you crazy?"
Hearing Zhang Weiliang say this, others were shocked, where is there any commercial spy in this world, this Zhang Weiliang has gone crazy when he sees the business war.
One of them hurriedly walked up to Gu Cancan and said carefully: "Girl, I'm sorry, this person ......"
He pointed to his brain, suggesting that Zhang Weiliang had a bad brain.
"Okay, he didn't say that I was a competitor to smear you, you say how to solve it." Gu Cancan said calmly.
In this world, there are always many things that are very illogical, but in reality they happen.
Before this person could speak, Zhang Weiliang opened his mouth and said, "Originally, you acted exactly the same as what was written in the book." β
"Alright, Zhang Weiliang, go into the house and sit!" The man scolded.
Gu Cancan couldn't help laughing, she said to the person who was talking to her: "Is your new film association still a charity, and if you have a problem with your IQ, you will also be given a job?" β
Gu Cancan's heart was really on fire, why was this person so confused.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm really sorry, I apologize to you for him."
"He's the manager of your new film club?"
The man standing in front of Gu Cancan said helplessly: "It's just such a name, in fact, he is just an ordinary employee, ma'am, so let's do it, I will give you a gold card for our VIP membership, and the movie will be discounted by 20%, I hope you don't mind today's things." β
This person is very good at handling things, Gu Cancan said with interest: "Your honorable name, what is your position in the New Film Association?" I'll accept your apology, but today I'm going to find the person in charge of your theater. β
"My name is Li Qiang, ma'am, in fact, you haven't suffered any losses, have you, why bother to make things bigger, it's not good for you to make things big." Li Qiang said softly and hardly.
But then he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and the girl opposite took off her mask, revealing a bright and moving face.
"You ......, you are Gu Cancan." Li Qiang recognized Gu Cancan.
Gu Cancan smiled and nodded, and said slowly, "Can I find the person in charge now?" β
Soon, the general manager of this theater came forward, and the general manager of the theater named Zhang Feihao was very kind to Gu Cancan, and apologized for Zhang Weiliang one by one.
Zhang Weiliang is Zhang Feihao's nephew.
At this moment, Zhang Feihao was really angry with Zhang Weiliang. His nephew is a little crazy when he reads books, and his mind is not very sober, he kindly took care of his nephew and sought a position for him in the theater, but he didn't expect Zhang Weiliang to make trouble for him again and again, always offending the audience, and today he even provoked the well-known singer Gu Cancan.
However, Gu Cancan didn't come to find fault because of Zhang Weiliang's matter, she met Zhang Feihao and talked about matters related to cinema line play.
There is no publicity and distribution department in the bright era, and there are no resources for cinemas, Gu Cancan's plan is to contact several major cinema chains in China, and strive for the premiere on his side.
This is Su Luolai's responsibility, Gu Cancan is also a temporary initiative today, and the effect is not bad, at least he got the contact information of the person in charge of the new film association branch theater, and he can let Su Luo deal with them in the future.
was originally a twist in the plot to slap his face, Gu Cancan was already thinking of a businessman at this time, trying his best to make friends with people inside and outside the industry, and paving the way for his bright era.
β¦β¦
In the following days, Gu Cancan's time was soaked in the editing room, although Du Yuan was specially hired as an editor, but Gu Cancan could not be the shopkeeper, the original picture plot was in her mind, and Du Yuan cooperated with the editing, because there was a reference to the original version, the progress was going fast.
Du Yuan's whole person was shocked, the editing parts and editing methods proposed by Gu Cancan were actually very mature plans, and the effect of cutting them out was really good.
It's not scientific, how can she understand everything.
It took a week to edit the finished product, Gu Cancan watched it again, and compared with Yang Qing in his memory, the similarity was 99%, and only some lines that did not affect the progress of the plot were slightly modified, and the changes in some places, Gu Cancan thought it was more funny than the original.
If you edit it well and make a good soundtrack, it will theoretically be released.
Actually, no, there is a cycle in the release.
Hollywood blockbusters generally take 3-6 months to prepare, 3-6 months to shoot, 6-9 months to post, plus 3-6 months to publicize. Most blockbusters generally take 2 years from project approval to theater release.
During the golden age of Hong Kong in the early 90s, it was generally 1 week of preparation, 1 month of shooting, 1-2 months of post-publicity, and many mainstream Hong Kong films could be released within 3 months.
Extreme weeks refer to the process from project initiation to shooting, and there are also some.
However, Hong Kong films do not pay attention to screenwriting.
Basically, you decide what type of film you want to shoot at the beginning of shooting, and then a few pages of story outline. During filming, the director and screenwriter thought about jokes together, and put these jokes together to make a film.
Strange sunglasses of the king of literature and art.
There was no script during the shooting, so I asked a few actors to play against each other casually, and Wang Sunglasses was observing the reactions between the actors, finding their own feelings, and looking at their feelings to guide what films to make.
Back then, I took a long list of celebrities to Taiwan and cheated tens of millions of dollars, but in fact, I didn't know what to shoot, I rubbed it for half a year, overspent and overscheduled, and the shooting was nothing, and Taiwanese investors were anxious to vomit blood. So Wong Kar-wai brought his good brother Liu Zhenwei to shoot the evil in the east and the poison in the west, and the east into the west in the afternoon. It was completed in less than 4 weeks, and more than 20 million box office was mixed in with the Hong Kong New Year. And the East Evil and West Poison, which has been filmed for more than half a year, only has a few million box office.
How long does it take to set up a project for a domestic film, and how much does it cost?
Gu Cancan has seen a news, Mr. Chen, the person in charge of Beijing Maite Cultural Development Company, said in an interview with reporters: "There is no administrative cost for the project. It will be approved within 7 working days when the materials are complete. However, with the current efficiency of the review department, a clear reply can generally be given within 5 working days. β
The project approval of the film is generally not handled directly by the film director, but by the film's investor to collect the relevant materials for approval. However, for film directors, this level still faces some difficulties from person to person.
In the actual operation stage, the impression left by a director will also directly affect the establishment of the next film he directs. For example, Feng Xiaogang once said in an interview that the audience's excessive interpretation of "Let the Bullets Fly" has put Jiang Wen's next film under great pressure on censorship.
Content review from a few days to a few years does not necessarily pass the script project, and the next step is content review. The content review of the film is done after the shooting and editing. This is a crucial part for all directors. Whether the filmed film is deleted or changed is determined at the level of content review.
For a lot of directors who keep experimenting with genre films, censorship without a rating system is nothing short of torture. Lou Ye's film was banned, Johnny To's film was deleted, and Jia Zhangke's film was required to be overhauled...... We can often see that some films end up not being presented to the audience as the director intended.
So how long does it take to get through content moderation?
A director said: "In fact, at this level, the censorship department is not unsatisfactory as the legend goes. The review of "Bronze Bird Terrace" took only 3 days, and some of Chow Yun-fat's lines were modified, but the whole cycle was very fast. The censorship department will take care of the film's schedule in theaters, and if it is very close, it will be expedited. β
The technical review will give a reply in one minute at the earliest, and almost all investors and crews can breathe a sigh of relief. Next, as long as the technical review before the release is completed, the film can be presented to the audience. In terms of technical review, the film's review rate has reached almost 99%. Mr. Chen said: "The technical review is usually completed in one to two days, and some films are sent for review, and they are screened once and then passed on the spot. It can be called a very efficient "one minute pass".
Why is the technical review so efficient? According to people familiar with the matter, the film has reached this point, and there is nothing to modify in terms of content. At this stage, the pressure of censorship is shifted to the censorship department, because if a film that has already been produced is found to be pirated in the market during the final review stage, the censorship department will be under a lot of pressure. So, this last review is usually very painful.
