With the arrival of the Lantern Festival, migrant workers quickly gathered in Yanjing to re-contribute to the construction of the city.

The employees of Fenghua Film and Television Company have arrived even earlier.

Li Shengyao was preparing for the editing of "Dalian by the Sea", and after the company's editing department was operating normally, he took Dapeng, Bi Gan, and Wen Muye into the editing room together.

Bi Gan has been following Li Shengyao in the past few years, and has watched him edit "1937" and "Parasite", and he has long been very familiar with Li Shengyao's editing style and strength.

And Wen Muye and Dapeng are editing with Li Shengyao for the first time.

The reason why the two of them came over this time was to see Director Li's editing method.

It is rumored that Li Shengyao's editing is very fast, and he used to be able to complete the editing of a TV series in about ten days, and then edited the movie, usually about half a month, twice as fast as other directors.

Dapeng was skeptical of such rumors at first, and then he started to make short dramas himself, and he followed the editing of funny short dramas like "Diao Si Man", all of which needed one episode a day.

Only then did he know that the editors needed to constantly debug in order to find the most suitable shots, so that they could seamlessly connect and connect the shots of film and television dramas flawlessly.

Since then, he doesn't believe that Lee Shengyao can edit movies and TV series so quickly.

He felt that it was all because of Li Dadao's status and power, and the flattering words that circulated from within Fenghua.

This time he edited "Dalian by the Sea", mainly to learn, and to restore the truth by the way.

Of course, he is not a brainless person, even if Director Li Dadao's editing is not as good as the legend, he will not say nonsense.

Wen Muye's mentality is similar to that of Dapeng, he has long heard the rumors of Li Shengyao's editing, and he really wants to verify it.

So Dapeng and Wen Muye followed to the editing room this time.

Bi Gan knew what the two of them thought, and said in a low voice: "Look, I didn't lie to you. ”

Dapeng nodded, "I'm watching." ”

Wen Muye smiled and didn't answer, his attitude was that he didn't believe the rumors.

At this time, Li Shengyao entered the editing room, and Dapeng and Wen Muye's eyes widened, intending to see how Li Shengyao communicated with the editor.

Dapeng made "Diao Si Man" by himself, and when editing, he would first ask the editor to read the script, and then say what he understood the rhythm of "Diao Si Man", the spirit of the work, and finally put forward his requirements.

How to edit later, the editor is mainly the editor, although he himself watched, but rarely spoke, and occasionally provided some suggestions.

Li Shengyao didn't know what Dapeng was thinking, he pulled a chair with a golden knife, and then sat down, "Come on, listen to me." ”

There are a total of three editors in the editing room, and the three of them have long understood Li Shengyao's style, so it is not surprising that they nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they know.

Wen Muno and Taipeng were stunned.

This......

Could it be that Lee Shengyao directed the editing? Won't this editor mess around? Will they be able to maintain their standards?

The next two realized that they were wrong.

Where Li Shengyao is directing the editing, it is clearly a shot by shot, and a command and editing of a picture by picture.

How to edit, it is completely up to Li Shengyao, no matter how big or small, the three editors are simply Li Shengyao's marionettes.

Wen Muye even suspected that if it weren't for his dislike that his hand speed was not fast enough, Li Shengyao could edit it himself.

Because all the pictures and shots are directed and edited by Lee Shengyao.

These three editors just listened to Li Shengyao's words wholeheartedly, they didn't have a word of superfluity, they just listened quietly, and then kept working with their hands.

These three editors are afraid that they don't even know what story "Dalian by the Sea" tells.

Isn't this just a mess?

Directors and editors are different jobs.

And Lee Sung-yao barely thought about it, and he commanded it very quickly, just like the editing of this movie had already been rehearsed thousands of times in Lee Sung-yao's mind.

But the amount of editing in a movie is not small, it is really thousands of shots.

Neither Dapeng nor Wen Muye believed that Li Shengyao could write it all down.

Until the first day passed, Lee Shengyao had been so fast, just like teaching mathematics for a year in elementary school, instructing three editors to work, Dapeng and Wen Muye believed that Lee Shengyao could really edit so quickly.

In such a hurry, the cut out must be ugly, there must be a lot of rough shots, there must be no rhythm.

The two men had doubts, but they were too embarrassed to say it.

It wasn't until thirteen days later that the first editing of "Dalian by the Sea" was completed.

In other film production crews, it takes a month, but here, half the time is saved.

Both Wen Muye and Dapeng were very curious, and they were both very eager to see the finished film and see the effect after the first cut.

Li Shengyao did not hide it, and then took the three assistant directors to watch the first cut of "Dalian by the Sea".

"How so?"

The movie hasn't been soundtracked yet, and some of the plot clips have live dubbing so they can probably understand the story.

Despite being a post-first cut version, the actors perform well, the story is wonderful, and the atmosphere is touching.

Whether it was Wen Muye, Dapeng, or Bi Gan, they were all stunned.

Especially Bi Gan, immersed in the story, couldn't help wiping his tears.

And Dapeng and Wen Muye looked at Li Shengyao with an incredulous expression.

The initial cut was so fast, almost without thinking, but the final result was so smooth and silky, just like a poem written by Li Taibai.

Anyone who looks at it will think that the editing of this movie must have gone through a lot of thought, constant adjustment, and constant attempts.

However, Li Shengyao did not do that, Li Shengyao did not think about it at all.

Why is the effect so good, why can it be so natural and smooth, why can it be so just right?

Could it be that there really is an editing genius in the world, who has already gone through thousands of times in his head, and can edit movies so quickly?

Looking at the picture on the big screen, Dapeng and Wen Muye couldn't believe it.

Dapeng couldn't help but ask: "Director, your hand is too amazing, can we learn?" ”

Li Shengyao smiled, and then said, "Dapeng, have you heard of my editing method before?" ”

"Nope."

Character directors like Quentin and Ridley actually stay in the editing room when editing a movie, and then direct the editors to work.

Hollywood has known this for a long time, and it has also attracted the dissatisfaction of some editors, who feel that these two people have stretched their hands too long.

But Ridley and Quentin are just guides, giving a general direction, and how to edit it still needs the editor to think.

And when it comes to Li Shengyao, it is completely Li Shengyao's one picture, the commander of one picture, and the three editors are Li Shengyao's hand-to-hand replacements.

It's not so much the editor who is editing, it's Lee Shengyao editing.

It can be said that Li Shengyao's editing is unique in the world film industry.

He then laughed and said, "It's a talent, you can't learn it." ”

After the words fell, Li Shengyao took out his mobile phone and contacted the soundtrack artist Chen Xiaoxia to come to Yanjing to dub.

Dapeng stood next to him, quietly watching the picture on the big screen, and then gradually clenched his fists.

"My fate is up to me, I can't say what the master says, I believe that as long as I work hard, I can also edit quickly like the master."

……

Chen Xiaoxia has long prepared the soundtrack of "Dalian by the Sea", and her style of works has always been delicate and emotional, with a touch of sorrow, which is actually somewhat similar to "Dalian by the Sea".

Li Shengyao contacted Chen Xiaoxia, who then took her soundtrack team north to Yanjing, and then took over the soundtrack of "Dalian by the Sea".

Half a month later, the spring breeze in March blew gently, and the weather in Yanjing was better.

"Dalian by the Sea" has completed the soundtrack, dubbing, and fine editing, and the post-production of the film has been completed.

Then there was an internal viewing session.

Li Shengyao took several assistant directors to watch "Dalian by the Sea", and on the day of the film meeting, an unexpected guest came, and this person was Da Mi Mi.

Da Mi Mi wore a very popular light gray flight jacket on the upper body, and ordinary blue jeans on the lower body, with white canvas shoes, just like an ordinary college student.

It's just that the average university isn't as big as hers.

Wen Muye, Dapeng, and Bi Gan couldn't help but peek when they saw Da Mi Mi.

"Director Li, I heard that Ling's new movie production has been completed, and I really want to learn and improve, let me see if it's okay?"

"You really want to watch more good movies, see how top actors act, let's go, I'll teach you after watching it."

So in this internal film viewing meeting, Da Mi Mi also participated.

"Dalian by the Sea" is very long, a full 140 minutes, and after watching the movie, Li Shengyao left the viewing room.

Although he had seen it in his previous life, it was still very uncomfortable to watch it at this time.

Zhang Songwen's performance is very good, perfectly meeting Li Shengyao's requirements, and his image and temperament are almost exactly the same as the actor's setting, and he looks a little sad.

Watching this movie, it seems that Zhang Songwen is the hero.

He gave Lee the effect of being a good one, and Cassie. Affleck is about the same.

Li Shengyao is not sure if Zhang Songwen can win the award, but he believes that this role will give Zhang Songwen another label, just like Malte Ruoxi is to Liu Shishi, and Qingchuan is to Da Mi.

In addition, the supporting roles in the movie, Yan Bingyan and Guo Zhenni performed well.

Lu Han basically completed the task, was decent, and would not let people play.

Overall, he was very satisfied with the performances of the actors.

He is also very satisfied with the editing, soundtrack, and dubbing of the movie, and the film has reached the texture he wants.

When Director Li left the viewing room, the assistant directors and Da Mi Mi were still sitting inside.

Da Mi Mi has not calmed down to watch a movie for a long time, she didn't expect that watching the movie seriously this time would be so uncomfortable after watching it.

A heavy, as if the long-standing sadness was born in her heart, and she felt that life suddenly lost the meaning of struggle.

She didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to lie down and sleep, preferably for 10,000 years.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the assistant directors gradually recovered and then left the viewing room.

The sound of the table and chair legs rubbing against the floor sounded, and Da Mi Mi came back to his senses,

She looked around blankly, and then left Fenghua Film and Television Company with a sluggish face, and left the Liangmahe Building.

The driver started the car, and the assistant asked next to him, but Da Mi Mi still didn't respond.

It wasn't until the mobile phone rang that Da Mi Mi subconsciously connected the mobile phone, and the voice of the agent Zeng Jia rang inside, and Da Mi Mi gradually came back to his senses.

Not long after, Da Mi Mi hung up the phone, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked the driver to turn around, "Go to Liangmahe Building, let's go back." ”

She didn't come here this time to watch "Dalian by the Sea".

She was looking for Li Shengyao to ask for the company's development opinions.

She and Master Liu are good sisters, and Master Liu chatted with her and told her about Li Shengyao's advice on film selection.

Da Mi Mi thought of Li Shengyao's business vision, and immediately felt that he should talk to Li Shengyao.

Their studio is about to be renamed Jiaxing Film and Television Co., Ltd., and will make its own film and television dramas, since they want to make money, they must make popular dramas.

The company now has a lot of choices, but Da Mi Mi and Zeng Jia have no relevant experience, and the two of them are very hesitant.

Zeng Jia knew Da Mi Mi's thoughts, and immediately recognized this decision, feeling that he could go to Li Shengyao to ask.

Although he felt uncomfortable at this time, Da Mi Mi still rushed to Fenghua Film and Television Company again.

Not long after, Da Mi Mi saw Li Dadao in Li Shengyao's office.

The assistant closed the door intimately.

"Brother, your new movie this time is so good, I think it's more shocking than "Parasite", and your new movie will definitely win an award."

She grew up in a happy family, and she actually can't empathize with the male protagonist of "Parasite".

"Dalian by the Sea" is about a male protagonist who can't forget his sadness, and Da Mi Mi can be a little more recognized.

She felt that if she suffered something like the male protagonist, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself.

Li Shengyao sat down and poured a cup of tea for Da Mi Mi, "I'm very satisfied with this movie, it's hard to say whether I can win the award or not." ”

Da Mi Mi nodded, she didn't want to talk deeply on this topic, "Brother, our studio is about to change its name, and you will come to the company to help us support the scene." ”

"No problem."

"There is one more thing, the company is a start-up, but we are still not familiar with the choice of film and television dramas, brother, can you help me."

After the words fell, Da Mi Mi got up, sat closer, and sat down next to Li Shengyao, Li Shengyao took it into his arms, climbed the peak with both hands, and then said: "Do you have any drama now?" ”

"Yes, Deng Chao's "Breakup Master" invited me to be the female number one, in addition, there are three bitter dramas and two Qing court dramas, and the role settings of these two Qing court dramas are similar to Qingchuan."

Li Shengyao exerted a little force, provoking the big power to scream.

"You're really poor enough for this resource."

Da Mi Mi nodded embarrassedly, she offended Kaizi's brother Li Shaohong and others, basically a good movie, and the drama will not look for her.

Even though she is very hot now, the resources are really poor.

The only valuable thing is Deng Chao's "Breakup Master", in Li Shengyao's previous life, "Breakup Master" has a bad reputation, but the box office is okay.

This comedy directed and acted by Deng Chao won 665 million, and the box office list was in the top ten of the year.

This kind of movie can't elevate the style, but it can create heat.

"You can play "The Breakup Master", I have heard of the script of this movie, and the box office should not be bad."

He paused, and then asked, "What are the film and television dramas you are optimistic about now?" ”

Da Mi Mi was prepared, she was not afraid that Li Shengyao would steal the idea, and then 1510 told some of the film and television drama projects that Jiaxing was optimistic about.

Li Shengyao frowned when he heard this, these film and television dramas are very unfamiliar, and when you hear the name, you know that they are street goods.

He thought for a while, and then said: "I'm optimistic about a drama, it should be a hit, you can take it down." ”

Da Mi Mi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Brother, what kind of drama is it?" ”

"What's in it for me?"

"Brother, isn't Jiaxing your company, Jiaxing makes money, isn't it you who makes money?"

Li Shengyao pouted, "I want to have the benefit of sincerity." ”

Da Mi Mi paused for a moment, then bit his lip, "Brother, if the TV series really explodes, I invite you to go to Europe for a seven-day two-person tour." ”
