8 p.m., Imperial Capital Fengze Garden.

"Cheers—"

The crew of "Tuner" raised the wine glasses in their hands and collided happily.

In order to celebrate the finale, Fang Yan can be said to have invested a lot of money and set a table of sumptuous wine and food in Fengze Garden.

Fengze Garden, one of the eight old gardens of the imperial capital, makes classic Lu cuisine, which is very in line with the taste of Fang Yan, a native of Lu Province.

Braised sea cucumber with green onion, hibiscus chicken slices, fish slices, nine large intestines, dried croquets......

Fang Yan ordered a table of famous dishes, and then instructed the waiter to bring two bottles of liquor and three cases of beer, what he wanted today was to have fun!

As the host of the dinner, Fang Yan first picked up his wine glass and began to toast.

"Everyone has worked hard these days, as a director, I thank you for your dedication and efforts, I will do this glass of wine first as a respect!"

"Okay—"

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became warm, and everyone was very happy to take a sip of dry wine.

"Teacher Duan, I toast you!" Fang Yan said to Duan Long: "Your acting skills are really speechless, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate again in the future!" ”

"Fang Dao, you're welcome!" Duan Long smiled and said, "Actually, I'm only four or five years older than you, it's too much to call the teacher, just call me Lao Duan." ”

"Okay, you can also call me Lao Fang directly!"

For Fang Yan, he likes actors like Duan Long very much, who is powerful and low-key, and the salary price is also very low.

What director doesn't love such a good actor!

"Great hero, I also toast you!"

Fang Yan walked in front of Yu Nan with wine: "You still insist on acting when you are sick, I admire your professionalism, you will definitely become an excellent actress in the future!" ”

"Thank you!"

Yu Nan's face was slightly red, he picked up the wine glass with boiled water, clinked glasses and said, "I also think that you will become an excellent director in the future!" ”

Next, Fang Yan and everyone in the crew drank.

"Brother Fang, your directing ability is so strong, it's like an old director who has been making movies for many years!"

"Lao Fang, I didn't serve anyone in our school before, and now I'm really convinced by you."

"Next time you have a chance to make a film, you must find me!"

Under the praise of everyone, Fang Yan drank cup after cup, and in the end, he was directly drunk and unconscious.

…………

The next morning.

"NND, those guys from yesterday were really good at drinking."

Fang Yan rubbed his head with a hangover and pain, and walked listlessly towards the school editing room.

The filming of "The Tuner" is complete, and there is another important work to be done, which is post-editing.

For a movie, the quality of editing directly determines the quality of the whole movie.

The same shooting material, let two different people edit, the difference is not half a star.

For example, legendary director Ridley Scott's epic film "Heavenly Dynasty" has an overall investment of $130 million, with the male protagonist Orlando Bloom and the female protagonist "007 Bond Girl" Eva Green.

In addition to the protagonist, other actors include "The First Hulk" Edward Norton, "Super Agent Daddy" Liam Neeson and other well-known actors.

"Heavenly Dynasty" should be an epic masterpiece with both word-of-mouth and box office harvests in terms of the main creator, lineup, story, scenes, production and other aspects.

But the final result was a big surprise, the investor Fox Film Company, because it disliked the director's cut was too long, so it cut out 49 minutes of scenes, causing a generation of masterpieces to become garbage, and finally only received $50 million at the box office.

The same situation is a movie, as well as the DC Universe's blockbuster "Justice League". Director Zack Snyder was replaced halfway by the investor Warner, and was replaced by Joss Whedon, the director of the Marvel series, which greatly changed the overall style of the film and was angered by the audience.

Three years later, the cut version of the original director Zack Snyder was released, and the ratings of the two different versions were very different.

Joss Wheddon's version: 6.4 points on Douban, 6.3 points on IMDb, 40% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes.

Zack Snyder's version: Douban 9.0 points, IMDb 8.9 points, Rotten Tomatoes 78% freshness.

The above two examples fully demonstrate the importance of editing.

Famous directors generally require themselves to have editing rights, in order to prevent bad things from happening.

For Fang Yan, editing may be the easiest job, because he has the memory of the original short film in his mind, and he almost doesn't have to use his brain, just draw a scoop according to the gourd.

In this way, Fang Yan spent almost two days to complete the post-production work of the film.

"You kid can, I didn't expect to have this hand, the film is really well cut!"

In the editing room, Zhang Jiandong came here on purpose, originally he wanted to point out Fang Yan's editing, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Yan's editing ability was beyond his imagination.

Zhang Jiandong stood aside, looking at Fang Yan's editing speed and level, and couldn't help but sigh.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves beat on the beach!

"Alas...... Now it's for you young people! ”

Zhang Jiandong sighed, happy for Fang Yan's growth, and sad for being surpassed.

"Teacher Zhang, you are still in your prime, I don't dare to compare with you."

"Alright, don't slap my ass!"

Zhang Jiandong said in admiration: "You are the most talented student I have ever taught, maybe I will be with you in the future!" ”

This evaluation was too high, and after hearing it, Fang Yan hurriedly expressed his shame.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Zhang Jiandong straightened up: "I watched your short film, as I thought before, it is an excellent work!" ”

"The only question now is, which film festival are you going to attend?"

Fang Yan pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Teacher Zhang, you can give me a suggestion." ”

"In fact, the three major European film festivals are roughly the same, and their judges are all outstanding filmmakers from all over the world!"

Zhang Jiandong slowly counted and said: "The Venice Film Festival is the world's first international film festival, focusing on art and avant-garde films. The Festival de Cannes has the largest market in Europe in terms of trading volume, with a focus on commercial and artistic films. The Berlinale pays the most attention to humanity and sociality while emphasizing the artistry of film. ”

"Alas...... Hearing you say that, I feel even more confused! ”

Fang Yan said with a bitter face: "Why don't you ...... Choose which film festival is near. ”

"In that case, it's the Berlin Film Festival!"

Zhang Jiandong checked the information and said: "This year's Berlin Film Festival is held at the end of February, and now the registration is just in time for the deadline. ”

Fang Yan nodded and made a decision: "Okay, I'll sign up for the Berlin Film Festival!" ”
