"My Sassy Girlfriend" internal preview meeting.

The movie was being screened, but director Zhuang Geng was distracted.

It's not that he doesn't care about movies.

From the beginning of the film screening, the auditorium was just - there was a moment of silence, and then laughter erupted; There was silence for a moment, and then a cycle of laughter erupted.

Compared with the long and smelly tirades of film critics, the direct performance of the audience can tell him that there is no need to worry about the quality of this film!

Well, although a significant part of the audience is actually film critics.

At this moment, he finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Not for anything else, the main thing is that Wang Wei didn't interfere with the filming of the crew casually!

Ordinary people don't know, but he knows that he has been with more than one crew-

Not to mention a person who is used to being a director, even if he is just an actor with ideas, as long as he is stronger, it is easy to discuss with the director about his understanding of the role and the plot; In a more serious way, it will even interfere with the shooting.

The script is his, the first producer is him, the boss is him, and even the whole team is his, and his ability and status in directing and producing movies are absolutely crushing to himself.

It can be said that as long as he wants to interfere, he doesn't need to make too much effort, just a fluttering word, and he may fall into endless distress.

But Wang Wei didn't.

At first, Zhuang Geng thought he was busy, after all, he also had a film to shoot on hand;

It's just that, patting and patting, Wang Wei just came to visit the class a few times, and he communicated with him alone if he had suggestions and opinions, he understood, busy, probably just one of the minor factors.

The main reason is that Wang Wei really dares to delegate power to others.

No, the first cut rights of "My Sassy Girlfriend" were given to him.

It is said that the right to final cutting is important, but in fact, the right to first cut is just as important.

The so-called initial cut sets the tone, and the final cut sets the direction.

After giving the first cut to the director, as long as there is no problem with the overall skeleton of the story, the producer will generally not change the main tone and main thread of the film, but will only adjust the direction and intensity of the expression to a certain extent.

——This is the right to final shearing, whether at home or abroad, the right to final shear is basically doing subtraction!

And the final cutting rights of "My Sassy Girlfriend" were not given to him completely, but they were also given half-

He did several rounds of "subtraction" before Wang Wei took over the final editing rights.

For him, a rookie director, this is already a great gift.

After all, when it comes to editing rights, especially the battle for the final cutting rights, for almost all directors, it is a history of blood and tears.

A good movie, in the director's heart, is extremely beautiful and extremely attentive to the first cut, and when it arrives at the producer, it is cut with a click;

After the release of the public version, at first glance, the picture is messy, the plot is unknown, it is simply all kinds of thunder, and in the end, the infamy has to be borne by the director, and I want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, he met Wang Wei.

Even professional editors are full of praise for Wang Wei's editing ability this time.

The precision with which he selects shots, his understanding of editing techniques and rhythms, Zhuang Geng only thinks of one adjective - lifting weights like light.

According to Xiao Liu, an editor in Dunhuang, Wang Wei's editing ability has greatly improved.

The specific performance is that he edited "Genius Gunman" for nearly a month last time, but this time he still has the energy to run back and forth between the two crews of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "The Silence of the Lambs".

Well...... The truth is this truth, but this kind of progress measured by the degree of "liver" really makes Zhuang Geng's hairs stand on end.

Of course, none of this has come without a price.

Dunhuang hopes to be able to sign him a contract for three films — not including "My Sassy Girlfriend."

I also want to know that if he signs three film contracts in a row, the salary will definitely not be too high, especially when he has not fully proven himself at present......

Zhuang Geng thought about it for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed.

Not to say that Dunhuang gave him the first chance, but only to say that he wanted to sign a three-film contract with himself, which means that Dunhuang is optimistic that he can succeed this time.

Then Zhuang Geng found that he was even more worried.

- Probably because of Dunhuang's success standards, it really made his heart tremble.

Take a look at the performance of Gifted Gunslinger.

As the movie with the longest running time in the past summer file, "Genius Gunman" has just exceeded 700 million yuan at the domestic box office, to be precise, 701 million yuan.

Overseas took a step ahead of schedule, but the box office also reached an astonishing 416 million yuan, which is enough to show how popular this cheating movie, known as the "plague god film", is in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle with a strong examination atmosphere.

The global box office of 1.1 billion yuan, if this is the success standard of Dunhuang, Zhuang Geng only wants to choose the dog leash.

Even if he drops a level, he still hurts.

Only when the discount is discounted and discounted, well, 250 million, he dares to think about it a little.

No way, this is the common problem of new directors - no confidence.

Even Wang Wei, in the first movie "Peking Holiday", when he didn't hang up and didn't have melons, he actually didn't have much confidence.

Only by succeeding again and again can we thoroughly cultivate that kind of self-confidence and confidence.

When the internal test screening was over, the audience applauded, and Zhuang Geng showed an unconcealable joy, with this kind of audience reaction, he should be able to hit the small goal of discounting, right?

……

Many people in the industry also want to know if "My Sassy Girlfriend" will work.

As the time enters September and the National Day file is approaching, Dunhuang has also increased the publicity of "My Sassy Girlfriend".

With the global box office of "Genius Gunman" exceeding one billion as a foreshadowing, Dunhuang's latest love light comedy has attracted much attention; has Wang Wei's screenwriter and producer as an endorsement, plus Shen Zhenyi's occasional cameo appearance as a platform for movie promotion, everyone with a heart is eyeing "My Savage Girlfriend".

Some people will wonder that for the National Day files with large and medium productions, a film of this scale "My Sassy Girlfriend" is really not a key big project.

In this case, people in the industry are focusing on this film, which is indeed a little puzzling.

However, this kind of confusion is limited to some people who do not know enough about Dunhuang.

Many people in the industry understand that the reason why they attach importance to this "My Sassy Girlfriend" is because this is the first work not directed by Wang Wei after Dunhuang's resurgence.

Wang Wei Niucha no?

It's quite bullish, and it only took two movies to support the rise of Dunhuang.

But no matter how good he is, if he is the only one in Dunhuang, he will have a hit every year, and his peers will be envious, but they will not be afraid.

If Dunhuang is regarded as a bird, Wang Wei's existence is equivalent to growing a wing, which may be very strong, but it still can't make this bird take off.

Once he, as a producer, takes out a random project and finds someone to shoot it, if it can still sell well, the other wing will also grow.

Even if the two wings are not of the same strength, so what, a staggering take-off is faster than you can run.

And if you train the two wings to be as strong...... I can't think about it!

Now just wait and see, can this wave of Dunhuang take off?
