It was still early, Qin Yan called Liu Yan over again and recorded a simple movie interlude.

Although it can be used differently when editing, it is always good to prepare in advance. And Liu Yan hasn't come to the recording studio yet, so she should let the little girl see it.

The result is not bad, Liu Yan's singing ability is not professional, but she has definitely learned, so she has already looked good after only recording it three times, which made Qin Yan can't help but give a thumbs up.

As for Xiao Wei and the others, they were hit again.

It's a shame to be compared to a teenage girl.

On the way back, Qin Yan said to Brother Xiao Wei: "If someone asks in the future, they will say that the song was sung by you yourself, and it has nothing to do with me, remember?" ”

"Remember, Mr. Qin." Xiao Wei hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Wu looked entangled, hesitated and asked: "Mr. Qin, although I don't know why you don't want to admit it, it's okay for our brothers to admit it, but if someone asks us to sing this song in the future, won't this matter be exposed?" ”

Qin Yan laughed when he heard Xiao Wu's words.

"Hehe, you two are thinking too much. All the copyrights of the song "Oldboy" are in my hands, and you have no right to sing this song on any commercial occasions in the future. It's not just this song, but these two characters have nothing to do with you. Qin Yan said.

Xiao Wei and the others listened to Qin Yan's words, and their faces showed extremely disappointed expressions.

Although they had only been filming for less than 20 days, they already felt like they were one with the two characters in the movie.

Now that Qin Yan said this, they suddenly felt empty in their hearts, as if they had lost something very important in their lives.

Qin Yan ignored the two who were lost, and said, "Wait a minute, I will let the finance transfer the rest of the money to your card, but because the song is not sung by you, so, 500 yuan will be deducted from each person." Okay, let's meet again. ”

With a dashing wave of his hand, Qin Yan drove away.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Wu are just two tool men in Qin Yan's heart, and now that the film has been filmed, this tool man should naturally be thrown away.

……

Back at the company, Qin Yan took the two newly recruited editors from the company and started the editing of the movie Old Boy.

With the original memories of his previous life, Qin Yan edited it quickly, and the two editors of the company were almost stupid.

Obediently, the boss of the company has such a high level of editing, so how will the two of them mix in the future.

After cutting a 42-minute short movie, Qin Yan saw that it was still early, and there was still a lot of extra material left during filming, so he pondered that it would be better to try to edit out a version of the normal film market.

After reading the extra materials, Qin Yan had a faint idea in his heart.

In the 42-minute version, because of the time relationship, he pinched off many shots, and occasionally it was not so coherent, and many shots shot due to interest at the time were not used, so it is better to edit them into it now.

For example, at that time, Liu Yan performed a dance scene for everyone, and Xiao Wei and the two performed Mike during the school sports meeting. Footage of Jason's classic dance, footage of students tearing up books and spilling into the air after graduation ceremony, footage of Xiao Wei and the two singing other songs during the "Happy Boys" competition, etc., these can all be edited.

This time, Qin Yan pulled the two editors together to discuss the rationality of adding shots, and finally let the two editors who were hit to autism regain their confidence.

Generally speaking, according to the market classification of movies, those less than 60 minutes are called short films, those between 60 and 90 minutes are called special movies, and those between 90 and 120 minutes are called general movies, and once the market exceeds two hours, it belongs to the ranks of paranormal movies.

Qin Yan didn't have too much material in his hand, so he basically edited it with a 90-minute duration.

Of course, most of today's movies are also of this duration, because movie theaters don't like movies with too many more than 90 minutes, because if the time is increased too much, the number of screenings per day will be reduced, in other words, the operating income of one less show.

So 90 minutes is considered the optimal length.

But there are exceptions to everything, and as long as the story is good enough, time is no longer an issue that restricts a movie.

For example, Qin Yan watched "Titanic", "The Godfather", "Saving Private Ryan" and so on in his previous life, all of which lasted more than three hours, but the global box office was still very high.

Two days later, Qin Yan finally finished editing both the long and short versions.

Needless to say, the short-duration version is definitely used to participate in the Young Director Competition.

As for the long-term version, he is going to wait and find Xiao Hong to see if she has a channel to release it as a big online movie, or simply sell it to video websites.

Qin Yan didn't expect to make much money from this movie, after all, with free short stories, there were not many people who were willing to pay to watch long stories.

But mosquitoes are also meat when they are small, and if they can really be sold, it is also a lot of income, which can just relieve the company's financial pressure.

Taking out his mobile phone, Qin Yan dialed Xiao Hong's number.

"Hey, Sister Hong, haven't I been editing the entries for the director's contest in the past two days, and I felt that there was enough time, so I edited a 90-minute version. When you have time, if you think the quality is okay, then contact a few video sites to see if you can sell it. Qin Yan said.

Xiao Hong was a little surprised, she didn't expect Qin Yan to make a short movie and cut out a normal film by the way.

Out of trust in Qin Yan's script, she readily agreed.

There's nothing to lose by watching it anyway, in case the film is really good.

"Okay, I'll go over and see it later."

"I'm sorry for Sister Hong."

"You're polite to me, I didn't hang up beforehand."

"Bye-bye."

After ending the call with Xiao Hong, Qin Yan began to upload his entries to the official website of the CCTV competition.

In the early hours of tonight, the knockout round will officially begin.

……

said that Xiao Hong was busy with the work in hand, and immediately asked the editing room for the 90-minute version of the movie "Old Boy", and then returned to the office to watch it carefully.

After 90 minutes, Xiao Hong's eyes were red, and the trash cans around her were already stuffed with tissues.

This movie takes the route of memory, and Xiao Hong also thinks of her youth because of this film.

I think back then, who was not a school flower.

After cleaning up her mood and making up her makeup, Xiao Hong began to get down to business.

She rushed to Qin Yan's office and said, "Let me ask you, what about Xiao Wei and Xiao Wu, the two leading actors of "Old Boy"? ”

"Let's go, what am I going to do with them after the movie?" Qin Yan replied, his face a little puzzled.

"Gone! Do you know where they go? Xiao Hong asked.

Qin Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe go back to my community and continue to be a security guard, but I don't know if it's specific, Sister Hong, you can go to the archives room to check the original contract, there is the contact information of the two of them, hey, Sister Hong, what are you running?" ”

Xiao Hong ran out without waiting for Qin Yan to finish speaking, and he looked inexplicable.

Sister Hong, what's going on, why are you chattering?

It's weird.

said that after Xiao Hong left from Qin Yan, she found the phone numbers of Xiao Wei and the others as quickly as possible, and then found them as soon as possible.

At the door of the security booth, Xiao Hong stepped down from her BMW car and came directly to the two Xiao Wei brothers.

"I'm the person who called you just now, my name is Xiao Hong, the director of the artist department of Magic Shadow Media, and I am also a senior agent. Now let me ask you, would you like to sign a contract with Shadow Media and become a real artist? Xiao Hong got straight to the point.

The two Xiao Wei brothers were a little hesitant.

Xiao Hong directly released the bomb: "As long as you sign the contract, I guarantee that your annual income will not be less than 1 million, which can be written into the contract." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers instantly disarmed and surrendered!

Damn, what are you hesitating about!

Not to mention 1 million a year, even 100,000 a year, their brothers are better than doing this broken security guard!

"Sister Hong, let's sign!" The two brothers said excitedly.

Xiao Hong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "To add, the contract of at least ten years has a very high liquidated damages, if you have no objection, get in the car with me now, and I will take you back to the company to sign the contract." ”

The two brothers shook their heads, then quickly got into the car.

A ten-year contract may seem too long for other artists, but the Xiao Wei brothers wish it would be longer.

1 million a year!

If possible, please sign us for life!
