Chapter 17: [Is it still scary to have a human ghost]
The post-production of a movie requires the rough sorting of materials, the fine editing of each material, the selection of sound effects and the dubbing of lines, the addition of special effects, and the processing of characters...... These steps.
In a short time, it can be completed in one or two months.
This kind of film is mostly some emotional plots,
There is no need to invest a lot of time in special effects, but also to test the director's directing ability and the acting skills of the actors, and the energy in the later stage is mostly focused on editing and dubbing.
Of course, there are also horror movies, science fiction movies, action movies...... Such post-production films that take up to half a year to a year,
In addition to editing, the director spends more time on sound effects and special effects.
For example, after shooting on a green screen, replace the background.
Modify the image of the actor in the film frame by frame to make the image more in line with the role.
Invite voice actors for post-dubbing...... Post-processing of these aspects.
And the old corpse in the mountains filmed by Lu Zhengyi, although it is also a type of horror movie, it is not so troublesome.
In just one month, the post-production was completed.
Because the maximum amount of realism is pursued, the special effects are omitted.
In terms of lines, he also tried his best to let the actors use live recording, and did not invite voice actors to deal with them.
In this way, the post-processing direction is only the addition of editing and background music.
The time has been greatly shortened.
"Actually, I feel that Chu Renmei has lost his heart so much that even Xiaoqiang can be killed, so the last paragraph is a bit abrupt."
"Yes, such a shady female ghost, killing so many people."
"As a result, when I went to Mr. Mao's place, I left a sentence of 'you really love her', and then withdrew."
"This kind of drama of being moved by true love, I really, I don't know how to evaluate it."
If she was so easily moved, wouldn't the relationship between Xiao Ming and his girlfriend be very deep before? I didn't see her let go. ”
……
Beidu suburbs,
In the home of Lu Zhengyi,
In the pitch-black screening hall, the screen in front of me has finished playing the film and entered a state of stopping.
On the small sofa that could only accommodate one person, Zhang Yu touched the beard growing on his chin and commented on the cut piece.
Regarding this paragraph, he has already complained once before.
But later, Lu Zhengyi found a real ghost to shoot, and he temporarily put this point aside.
But now that the film came out, he still proposed it again.
It's not good, it's just not good.
In the old film era, this plot can still be attractive.
But what time is it now?
It's too bloody, it's too common.
As a horror film, the atmosphere that was so depressing that it made people maddened was instantly washed away.
Next to him, Lu Zhengyi was sitting on another single sofa, hesitating, "It's not a let go." ”
"Chu Renmei relied on illusions to kill people, but Fa Mao was not afraid of the illusions she created at all."
"Even if his girlfriend becomes Chu Renmei's appearance, he still firmly believes in his memory and hugs her tightly, Chu Renmei feels that there is no way, so he withdraws for the time being, which is not to let the two of them go."
Zhang Yu shook his head, "If you want to interpret it like this, you can do it." ”
"But what if the audience doesn't interpret it that way."
"That's right, Chu Renmei spoke, just like there is still human nature, and left a sentence 'You really love her', which can also be interpreted as saying that she was moved by the true love of the two of them."
As he spoke, he paused, "Chu Renmei's performance at the beginning gave people a feeling of not having any humanity, anyway, if you drink water with resentment, you will definitely die." ”
"But from the moment she said that sentence, she was human, and in the hearts of the audience, the impression changed, and she didn't look like a ghost anymore."
Even, after Zhang Yu finished speaking, he also took Chu Renmei, who was sitting in the corner of the screening hall without saying a word, as an example.
"It's like Teacher Chu."
"She was in my heart at the beginning, and it was as terrifying as it was."
"If you want to kill someone, you can kill someone, if you want to be scary, you can be scary, not bound by law and morality, there is no humanity at all, and for her, dying is like drinking a glass of water, without any psychological burden."
"But now? After a month, she no longer has the slightest ghost nature in my impression. ”
"What is the reason? Because the way she begged for mercy with you that night directly covered any impression before this, she would be as afraid as a person. And the object of her fear is you, my friend. ”
He emphasized this, "There are no human ghosts that can make people feel fearful. ”
"And ghosts who obey the law and morality like humans can only make people afraid for a short time at most."
Obviously, Zhang Yu insisted on changing the ending.
He was really not afraid of Chu Renmei, and he dared to point fingers at her in front of her.
Lu Zhengyi looked at Xu Feng next to him, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Feng scratched his head, but he didn't give face to his old classmates at all, "I feel that Director Zhang is quite reasonable." ”
"At least, Teacher Chu Renmei is here with me, and it was the moment when I suddenly screamed in the car that brought me fear."
"Later, it's basically gone."
He laughed, "Please, Brother Justice has caught the evil spirits with his bare hands." ”
"It's her who should be afraid, not me."
Lu Zhengyi actually felt that he should change the ending in his heart.
After all, times are different.
But he still has his own concerns.
"But if it changes like this, can it pass the trial?"
Lu Zhengyi bluntly expressed his thoughts, "This kind of ending, even if it is filmed by my father, may not be able to get by." ”
"It's a problem."
Zhang Yu was stunned, but forgot to review this matter.
But soon, he proposed, "But it's said that it's an open-ended ending, and we don't have a strict understanding of whether the ghost wins the man or the man wins the ghost." ”
"It's all up to the audience to interpret it themselves."
"Another important thing about horror films is to give the audience enough time to imagine."
Xu Feng nodded, "Indeed, self-brain replenishment is the most deadly." ”
"Wasn't there a classic comedy before, which was interpreted as a thriller by the audience."
"At that time, I also followed the trend and made a video of the Thoughtful and Terrifying series."
After a moment's hesitation, Lu Zhengyi finalized the result, "In this case, we will prepare two versions." ”
"When the time comes, let Lao Lu staff and staff officers, which one can pass the trial."
"He is a big director, and he still has a good grasp of the scale in this regard."
He doesn't doubt that his film can scare his father.
Under the personal play of Chu Renmei, the height of this film is no longer comparable to the original.
And some of the hidden details are even more so for some big directors, big photographers, and special effects artists.
Because if you think about it, they will find that there are some shots and images that cannot be done through special effects and photography skills.
So......
How did this film come about?
The promise is about to come out, but no one dares to think in this direction, and no one will think in this direction.
