The Directors Guild of America stipulates that the director must be given at least 10 weeks after the basic shooting is over to complete the first cut of the film, which is the purest director's cut, before the production company and producer step in. Then the producer steps in, makes changes, and the director and editor work together, or only the editor, to cut out the release version.
The film is shot on the set and finished in the editing room.
The same materials can be cut out in different versions, not only the rhythm and style can be different, but even the story can be different.
If you're an actor and you've been around for a long time to get a chance to perform in a scene, it means a lot to you. You are ecstatic when you get the opportunity, you act with great care, you look forward to it, you wait to see yourself on the screen, and then you make a name for yourself...... In the end, it was found that there were no shadows. Congratulations, you've become trash on the floor of the editing room.
Because some scenes are not used at any time, they are all cut by the director or editor.
"Little Sunshine Beauty" is nominally an independent film, Ye Wei is the first producer and director, and seems to have supreme power, and he can cut it however he wants.
Not to mention "The Exorcism Video", just like "The Wedding is Coming" Although there are two editors, he and Suzanne Hines, she actually started it, and he is responsible for the structure, rhythm and style of the film. He likes that, all the directors like that, and now that he has plenty of time to finish the LMS post-production, he really wants to cut it himself.
A good editor brings chemistry, but he's so attached to the film that he doesn't want anyone else to get involved.
I can only think about it, Pretong and DreamWorks are staring at it, especially DreamWorks now attaches very, very importance to LMS, which is the kind of attention that is more important than ever before, as if the last gambler who has gambled on the red eye, which directly brings a lot of new effects to the entire post-system.
Originally, Ye Wei planned to continue to cooperate with Suzanne Hines, why not, continue the model of "The Wedding is Coming", and they have to be negotiated, but they were notified by Gonzman that it would not work. Because her qualifications and talents can't get into the eyes of big names, for the current LMS, an Oscar-level editor is a basic requirement.
Don't worry about how to invite, have their connections, it's not a problem.
But Ye Wei tried to convince them to let him use Hines, firstly, he wanted to continue to use old buddies, and secondly, big-name editors meant authority and constraints.
"Hines is no longer suitable for this project. Gozman's words were serious and unforgiving, "She works as an editor, and no one will be happy." Weige, everyone has great expectations. β
If the film fails, or is only generally successful, people will say why not find a big-name editor in the first place?
Even if it is very successful, there will be such an idea, will it be more successful to find a big-name editor at the beginning?
Ye Wei found that he couldn't do anything, there was still one camp supporting him in the disagreement of digital film, but not this time, all the big and small people had big-name editors, and he couldn't compete. I felt very uncomfortable, but I could only tell SΓΉ Hines: "The plan has changed, and the boss has to assign a big-name editor to me, I can't change it, I'm sorry." Susan, next time we will work together. β
It can't be said that Hines is not disappointed, but she can also see it, "It's nothing, this industry is like this, I can find another job, and we will work together next time." She also encouraged him to edit well, and that there are pros and cons to working with big-name editors, and that he can learn a lot, but he should be careful to stick to his ideas.
"Cinema is always directed by the director. She said.
Ye Wei nodded heavily, so as not to let LMS become the work of a certain editor, regardless of the big and small names.
The editor still has to be resettled. Michael Kahn Spielberg is the queen editor with 3 Oscars and 3 nominations. No, he belongs to "Munich Tragedy", which will be released on December 23 at the end of the year, but filming has just started, and it is even more tense than LMS.
Ye Wei still has a little shadow of Kahn, and still remembers how Kahn and Spielberg used traditional linear editing to cut "Happiness Terminal", and he also broke a kem......
Looking at Gozman's list of optional contact editors, he was reluctant to be surprised, there were too many top people, Petro Scalia (2 Oscars and 2 nominations), Joe Hasin (2 Oscars and 2 nominations), ...... Even including Dedie Allen!
Although the 79-year-old Dedie Allen only has 3 Oscar nominations and did not win the award, she is the biggest name, the originator of the avant-garde editor, one of the originators of road movies, "Bonnie and Clyde" was cut by her, and she also cut "Miracle Boy" (Oscar nomination) after retiring in recent years, and she has been cutting "Imminent" since 2001.
Dedie Allen is interested in joining LMS, I have to say that it is really to save face, but Ye Wei does not want this face, she is very brilliant in the early and middle years of New Hollywood, but she is already old in the 21st century and can't inject much vitality into the movie.
Yes, he admires her very much, but people will grow old eventually, and LMS is not an old-fashioned road movie, it is a vibrant, absurd, and crazy story. The elderly are not suitable.
In the end, it was William Goldenberg, who was almost 46 years old and had two Oscar nominations, "Inside Out" in 1999 and "Pentium Age" in 2003. He is an all-rounder, fast-paced and slow-paced, he is best at thriller action films, comedy dramas, and a "Pentium Age" is enough to show his strength, and the commercial film "National Treasure" at the end of last year was also excellent.
And...... Of all these people, he is the smallest card. Imagine if Daidie Allen is invited, Ye Wei feels that he is not a puppet, and there will definitely be disagreements in the editing, many times it is irreconcilable, what should he do then, what will he do to fight with that old woman?
Don't look at some of his achievements now, he has become a double-faced genius, which does not mean that he has the right to cut the end. It's like Monroe's dress, you think you're going to see it, but it's still being pressed. He had to prepare for a possible conflict and didn't want to end up signing Allen Smith's words.
After returning from Toronto, from mid-June, Ye Wei took the lead in cutting films at the "Cutting Worker" film and television post-production studio in the old Santa Monica, but it was not as urgent as "The Wedding is Coming", so he went to work and took weekends off.
But he doesn't have that much time, LMS will be released in November, and before that, he has to submit for review and rating, make copies, hold film critics' screenings, premieres, and register for film festivals, etc., and it will all be completed in early October at the latest. The plan is to cut the first version in late July, and then release the version, soundtrack, mixing, etc...... It will take 2-3 months to complete by mid-September.
Whether it's two months, three months, or faster, or slower, it depends on how long it takes between the director's cut and the release.
The default length of LMS is 100-120 minutes, and Gonzman told him that it is best not to cut 120 minutes, 110 minutes is a lot, and 100 minutes is the best. The fewer problems there are in the director's cut, the smoother the work will be.
Of course, Ye Wei hopes to be able to participate in the school's football training camp in August.
In this half a month, the rough cut version has long been completed, and the first version is not far away. Ye Wei has been brewing long enough, and the materials are organized in an orderly manner, and they are cut quickly. However, there are so many materials that cannot be wasted, and it takes time to know which effect is better if you try more.
He worked well with William Goldenberg, mainly because now it's a director's cut, and Goldenberg is more of a helper, so there are few disagreements. The two also reached a tacit understanding of the division of labor, with the comedy and literary scenes focusing on Ye Wei, while the driving and tense scenes focused on Gordonberg.
As we enter July, the weather is even hotter, and the summer sea breeze is steaming.
After getting off work on Friday on the 1st, it's the weekend again, in the evening sky, Ye Wei drove home, this week is not a date week with Nina, we got together in Chicago last weekend, see you next weekend, he can arrange it by himself, and go to the beach to bask in the sun and see the beauties with his friends, it will also be quite enjoyable.
As soon as she got home, she parked the car and got out of the car, Duoduo seemed to come out of nowhere, smiling and smiling around him, showing off her hands, swinging around, only to see that her ten fingernails were coated with a layer of red nail polish, and her face was full of pride.
"Wow!" Ye Wei's heart jumped, and he asked in surprise, "Nina is here!?" While walking towards the house, he looked around.
"It's not Nina, it's ββββββ Na!" Duoduo jumped up and down beside her, still waving her hands, "Ana is here! Brother, look at my fingers, hehe!"
Ana? Ye Wei sighed, and his heart was also happy, but how could he be the same.
"Bella, Toto, go!" There was a laughing shout from the backyard of the house, and there were two puppies running at a gallop, apparently being pulled just now, and behind them, a little blonde girl figure was also running, not Anna Sophia, who was the figure, her face had grown up, and her smile was bright, "But !! it's me, your lucky charm, surprise?"
"Of course. Ye Wei smiled and looked at her a few times, "Ana, we haven't seen each other for a while, it's awesome to see you." "I haven't seen much of this year, but I've been in touch by phone from time to time.
Anna Sophia wrinkled her nose: "I haven't seen you for a long time! You didn't look for me, so I came to you." She raised her right fist and cheered, "We're going on a date tonight, I'm going to see 'The Exorcism Video,' the 'Yunik Kuller' movie!"
"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Duoduo hurriedly shouted, although he didn't know what it was, "I'm going too!"
"Now "Exorcism Video" is R-rated, and only adults can take us in to watch it, but I can't watch it if I want to. Ye Wei couldn't help laughing, "Rules are rules." β
"What is the rule? I only know rude!" Anna Sophia shouted, suddenly reaching out to cover Duoduo's mouth, and whispered, "Let's just sneak in." Duoduo nodded repeatedly, and Anna immediately sneaked into the house with her, like an agent spy.
Ye Wei couldn't stop laughing when he watched, and Toto and Bella followed up to make trouble.
