At 10 a.m. on June 22, 2000, the weather was hot and windless at Hucheng Film and Television Factory.

Standing in the sun for five minutes can make you sweat.

Li Shengyao, Zhao Shan, Li Sanfa, and several employees of Daifuku Film and Television Company brought the video to Hucheng Film and Television Studio.

They came over this time naturally for the editing of "Love Hotel".

At this time, Huaxia Film and Television was not like a few years later, when five or six hundred TV series were shot a year, and private film and television editing studios were everywhere.

Now the vast majority of film and television dramas either go to Beijing Film Studio or come to Shanghai Film Studio to edit.

There are more Beijing Film Studios and fewer Shanghai Film Studios.

Li Shengyao didn't want to go to Yanjing to wait in line for editing, so he came to Shanghai Studio.

The staff in charge of the reception was very happy, saying that during this time, several of their editors happened to have time, and then said the price, 121 episodes.

The price is reasonable, the editing is not expensive at this time, it will be five or six thousand in five or six years, and in another ten years, the price will be between eight thousand and ten thousand.

Li Shengyao was too lazy to say anything, and then signed a contract, paid a five-day deposit, and then let them start work.

The three editors walked out, all surprised, "What about you directors?" ”

Li Shengyao smiled: "I am the director." ”

I'm too young.

The eyes of the three editors widened, and one of them slapped his face, making sure that Li Shengyao looked calm and didn't look like he was lying, so he then asked, "What about the script?" We're going to look at the script. ”

Generally speaking, the editor will look at the script before editing, and he must understand what the director wants to express, so that those places should be fast and those places should be slow, so that he can have a number.

Li Shengyao shook his head, "No need, I'm the director, I know what I want, you just listen to me." ”

This...... Is this a fool?

Editing this drama, will it affect your reputation?

All three editors were a little hesitant.

Li Shengyao pouted, he didn't care what these people thought, he was a consumer, and spending money was God.

Besides, when he has money, he starts a company and wants to set up his own editing studio.

At most, for three years, he will not come to the studio again to let people edit.

"Can you do it? If you can't, just help me change a few people, I'm in a hurry. ”

The three editors looked at each other, then said that they were not feeling well, and asked the factory to arrange for others to come over.

Soon after, three more editors came, this time three of whom were younger and should be novices.

Lee Shengyao doesn't care, he doesn't need to refer to the opinions of these editors at all, just listen to him.

"Okay, let's get started."

Zhao Shan grabbed Li Shengyao and said in a low voice: "Lao Li, do you want to wait and find a few senior ones." ”

"No, I'm staring."

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of equipment, Lee Shengyao would have edited it himself.

Of course, he is now a director, and editing is a production cost, so he doesn't have to play himself.

He then followed the three editors into the editing room.

Li Shengyao then clapped his hands, "Three, I don't need you to use your brains, listen to me, whatever I say, you can edit it." ”

The three young editors glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Got it."

Li Shengyao smiled, "Let's start." ”

From the first episode onwards, three editors sat in the front and operated, while Lee Shengyao stood in the back, instructing them to edit.

It's very fast, there is no need to think at all, it is completely Li Shengyao directing them to do things.

After three days like this, at ten o'clock in the morning three days later, Zhao Shan took the 2,400 yuan returned and exchanged with an incredible expression.

The deposit didn't run out, too fast.

"Lao Li, that person looked at me like a fool just now, I heard him mutter, saying that the editing was completed in three days without that TV series, are we in too hasty, there are still 230,000 in the account, should we study it again."

"No, let's go back to Yanjing, finish the dubbing and soundtrack, I can't wait."

Zhao Shan still wanted to persuade again, "Lao Li, we are not in a hurry, we have time." ”

"Don't worry, this is my drama, will I still mess around?"

Zhao Shan thought about it for a while, and this is also the truth.

However, he still feels unreliable, and plans to wait for the production to be completed, he must come over to take a look, and he wants to determine whether it is a qualified TV series.

On the other side, three young editors left the editing room and returned to their offices.

"How's it going?"

The questioner's name is Qian Daming, and he is one of the three senior editors Li Shengyao met for the first time.

He has been idle for the past few days and has not done anything, although he has no commission, but he is happy in his heart, and he feels that he has saved his reputation by not taking that job.

I have praised myself for being smart these days.

"I don't know."

The three editors didn't read the script and didn't hear the lines, they were responsible for editing, but they didn't know the specific content of "Love Hotel", but they only roughly understood that it was a romantic drama.

"Don't know? How's the picture? How's the tempo? ”

hasn't dubbed yet, and the lines haven't been edited, so I can only look at the picture and rhythm.

A young editor thought for a moment, "The picture is beautiful, the lens language is good, and it should be all carefully designed." ”

"The rhythm is not easy to say, I am not interested in paying attention to the romantic dramas that men and women can do."

When Qian Daming heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The rhythm shouldn't work, right?"

At this time, another young editor continued: "The rhythm is a mess, a few men and women, back and forth, what can be seen." ”

This is a straight man who doesn't like romantic dramas in the first place.

When Qian Daming heard this, he felt alive, he found the answer he wanted, and nodded, "Yes, that director doesn't know if he is twenty-five years old, he must be messing around." ”

He then left the office and went to another office, where he called a friend of Shanghai Satellite TV by phone.

"Lao Wan, let me tell you one thing, there is a drama today, called "Love Hotel", the director is in his early twenties, and it was edited in three days, it is completely messy, don't be fooled."

This Lao Wan works in the film and television drama censorship department of Shanghai City Satellite TV.

The job is to watch all kinds of film and television dramas to see if there is any value, buy what you like, and bye goodbye if you don't like it.

At this time, the TV station is the boss, and under normal circumstances, people from film and television production companies need to come to recommend it in person.

However, there are some cowhides, such as Qiong Yao dramas, people ask people from various TV stations to come and watch them, and then the big guys bid, and whoever gives more money will sell it to whomever they want.

When Lao Wan heard this, he smiled, "I'm panicking because of the money, I remember, I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”

Qian Daming waved his hand, "It's a little meaning." ”

hung up the phone, Qian Daming was in a much better mood.

He doesn't think that this is harming others and himself, he thinks that this is to purify the mainland film and television environment, lest some cats and dogs think that they can do whatever they want if they have money.
