Chapter 115: [The Finished Film Is Out]
[Today is the fifteenth mid-year festival of the lunar calendar, let's look forward to the release of the mantra together~]
[The Midyear Festival also posted a promotional video, the real underworld. 】
[The underworld crew is really hammered. 】
[It's been so long, why are there only photos, and there are no teaser videos? ] 】
[What does this film look like, curse, tell your buddy.] 】
……
The time for post-production passes quickly.
The official micro of the light and shadow registration spell is updated as usual.
Every festival, some stills will be sent.
For example, the great heat at the beginning, the later founding of the army, the beginning of autumn, the end of the volt, the volcant, the Tanabata, and the summer heat...... These festivals.
And when the time came to the day of the Midyear Festival, the film was just finished.
"Director Lu, I want to talk to you."
Lu Zhengyi: ?
Thinking about yesterday, the film has reached the final stage, and it can be cut today.
Lu Zhengyi rushed to the editing room early, planning to watch the feature film as soon as possible.
As a result, when the door was opened, Li Feng and Yang Jianwei stood up very abruptly, bowed to themselves, and left the same words as the old boy worshipping the eldest brother.
"Hey, why do you have to do this big gift."
Lu Zhengyi smiled and waved his hand, and walked closer, "Tell me the reason." ”
"Because, you saw Teacher Chu some time ago?"
"Or ...... Because of the matter of light and shadow. ”
Since that day, Chu Renmei found that even her name was stealing characters in the play in this world, and she lost control in front of them.
These two people can say that they are dedicated to the work of editing.
There are even a few times when I took the initiative to apply to stay and work overtime, which is really touching.
"Hey, hey...... It's all there. ”
Li Feng talked a lot, listened to the question, and replied without thinking about it.
Sometimes, Lu Zhengyi felt that when he and Bai Wei got together, the two of them could understand how much they talked but their brains were like looking in the mirror.
"For Teacher Chu's situation, our acceptance is still relatively high."
Yang Jianwei took a step slower to speak, and after thinking about it, he was quite organized, "Thanks to Director Lu, he can pave our psychology little by little, let us see those processes that go against common sense from those video materials." ”
"Let's not say, let's see Teacher Chu all of a sudden, this heart can stand it for the time being."
"And we want to talk to you, on the one hand, because you are very capable. On the other hand, the situation of light and shadow is not very good, some time ago, we heard a lot of the conversation between you and Manager Liu, and thought a lot. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, "You're right, your crew already has two works, with ...... Mr. Chu has worked very happily, and there will be more cooperation in the future, and we believe that your success will only be a matter of time. ”
"And the situation of me and Ah Feng, you also know that we need money very much, and we need a job that can bring stable income."
It's better to wait for the light and shadow to fall, or to quit and look for a new job.
They prefer to stay on Lu Zhengyi's side directly.
Because in terms of treatment, it is too generous.
Staying here and working may often be scared, but at least, you don't have to worry about life.
For example, if there is no money to repay the mortgage, the house is taken away;
When the child is born, the milk powder money and the child's mother's nursing fee ...... These problems can be solved relatively properly.
Lu Zhengyi nodded and walked towards the house, "Then why should I recruit you?" ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the couch, "Wait......"
He suddenly raised his hand, motioned to the two people who were coming behind his buttocks, and stopped, "You almost bumped into Teacher Chu." ”
Chu Renmei likes to follow behind his ass, and these two people also followed, didn't they meet.
"Huh?"
Li Feng and Yang Jianwei hurriedly gave way to the side, clinging to the wall, and the hand was very polite, "Chu, Teacher Chu, you go first, you go first." ”
It's like a doorman at the door of a high-end hotel.
It's just that there is only air in front of them, and they can't see anything.
"Otherwise, you should appear and stand nearby, and they will be able to see you anyway."
Lu Zhengyi said to Chu Renmei in front of him.
"Okay."
In the air, a female voice answered, and then, a woman's figure appeared abruptly in Li Feng and Yang Jianwei's field of vision.
"Chu, Teacher Chu is good."
They hurried to say hello.
Chu Renmei also nodded politely at them, and then, silently stood aside, holding the tablet and brushing it up.
Xiao Zhongyong lazily lay on the sofa, looking at this scene, opened his mouth, showed the small fangs on both sides, and yawned.
"You make us ......"
Standing in front of the sofa, the two of them are like interviews.
Li Feng just opened his mouth to say something, but after that, Yang Jianwei grabbed him.
Both of them had already seen that Lu Zhengyi intended to recruit them.
However, the words cannot be said too clearly.
You have to go with the rhythm of others.
"That's right, Director Lu, we helped you cut this movie during this time, and we have a general understanding."
Yang Jianwei stood half a step forward and explained, "Many of your materials contain some special content in the shooting, which cannot be easily seen, and you probably need to hire someone to do the post-production work separately, rather than directly handing it over to the post-production team who is responsible for these." ”
"But the editing of a movie is by no means something that can be done by a simple person, even if your shooting is very special and can save a lot of post-processing, but editing, color grading, and even trimming out some people who should not appear in the clip frame by frame, these amounts of work are not something that one person can do."
"The working ability of the two of us, you and Ah Feng have also seen it during this time, if we join your crew, the post-production team will be more perfect, you can save a lot of things, and let the movie ......"
He spoke seriously about his strengths.
Except for the absence of a resume, this is basically like entering the third round of interviews and meeting the boss directly.
"You're right."
Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I really need to have my own post-production team, which does not need to be wide-ranging, does not need to do any operations, and only needs to focus on image processing." ”
"You and Li Feng do meet my conditions very well, but there is one thing, I will correct and remind you."
"Light and Shadow Media, although the situation is not good now, it will not fall. Manager Zhang of your company is still very capable, maybe now Guangying is indeed in a trough because of some troubles, but this process will not be very long. ”
Although, he has been guiding the two of them intentionally or unintentionally to think in that direction.
But the moment they actually bring the problem up, it still has to be corrected.
After all, poaching people is one thing.
Things that do not offend people must also be done.
"All in all, you think about it."
Lu Zhengyi looked at them kindly, "If you really want to come to my side, you can draw a relatively complete end to your last job first." ”
"I'll have a contract ready here, waiting for the two of you to join."
"Come to my side, if nothing else, I can still guarantee the salary. Eh, this is not a pie, I don't like to paint cakes, when the time comes, the rules and regulations will be written in the contract, and I will not lose a share of what should be given. ”
Li Feng and Yang Jianwei were stunned.
It took a long time for them to nod.
They originally thought that Director Lu's solicitation intention was so obvious, and as soon as they opened their mouths today, they would probably be able to talk about it.
Unexpectedly, he slowed down instead.
"Hey, Deputy Director Zhang finally has news."
At this time, Lu Zhengyi's mobile phone rang a prompt tone.
He picked up his phone and looked at it, then stood up, "Come on, let's take a look at the finished film." ”
As he spoke, he connected to Deputy Director Zhang's video call.
"Crooked, Director Lu?"
Deputy Director Zhang's voice rang from the mobile phone.
"Eh, yes, here."
Lu Zhengyi replied, "I'll open the screen directly, and connect it yourself?" ”
While speaking, Xu Feng and the three of them had already begun to turn off the lights and cast the pieces cut out from the computer onto the screen.
And next to him, Chu Renmei and Xiao Zhongyong also came over.
Especially Xiao Zhongyong, those eyes were full of curiosity.
Nowadays, technology is very advanced, even if the two are not in the same place.
Directly through the network, it can also achieve the effect of screen projection and remote viewing.
"Let's talk about it first, the equipment on my side is definitely not as good as yours."
Deputy Director Zhang was tinkering over there, and occasionally there were other people's voices.
Sounds like you're in your own home.
Soon, though, the voices were gone, and he should have closed the door.
"It doesn't matter, doesn't the cinema also have a giant screen hall, a 4K field, an animation scene, and a couple hall." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "And there are differences between regions, and the viewing equipment cannot always be the best." ”
"But you can be merciful later."
"This is the first time I've arranged post-processing alone."
Deputy Director Zhang smiled, "I don't dare to offend you." ”
"But what is the first time, you have only made two films in total."
"But judging by your tone, I think you should be quite confident."
Lu Zhengyi didn't answer, and waved his hand in front of his mobile phone to signal him to watch the film quickly.
On the screen, Li Ruonan's figure has already appeared.
At the beginning, it is a video she recorded to the orphanage.
And the "Curse" in the previous life, it should have been Li Ruonan's conversation with a psychiatrist at the beginning, from that clip, the more attentive audience should have noticed that this mother is not a good person.
But now, Lu Zhengyi has put this paragraph behind, how can any horror movie reveal who the bad guy is at the beginning?
And the people who play are different, the characters have changed,
The character design has changed, and the feeling of the plot is naturally different, so the order of this screening has also changed.
The image of a nervous, cautious mother appears in the audience's field of vision.
When watching it, Xiao Zhongyong also glanced at Chu Renmei next to him, and recognized the person on it with a different face, who was acting.
On the screen, Li Ruonan looks very pitiful and cramped, full of thoughts that he can't see his daughter all year round because of his illness.
Soon, however, as time went on, the mother from this first perspective began to make some subtle changes.
From the eyes, tone of speech, or body movements, if you observe carefully, you can see that her performance traces are very heavy.
After all, Chu Renmei is not an actor from a professional class.
She can't be as natural as Yu Wenxiu, but this is just in line with Li Ruo's pretending side.
"Although it was a first-person perspective, the shooting was chaotic, but the cut was very smooth, and the transition from stiffness to naturalness was very smooth."
Zhang Yu's voice sounded from the mobile phone, "I can see that Li Ruonan in front of the camera, from a pretentious posture, slowly, became natural, and really gave people a feeling that it was really for the good of her daughter, and she had the appearance of being a mother......"
But whether it's true or not, who knows if Li Ruonan has this daughter in his heart?
After all, this is a script written from her first perspective.
And even the people they filmed don't know, maybe only the screenwriter can understand.
In the following time, Zhang Yu commented from time to time, but most of the comments were praise.
The interspersed between the two timelines is very smooth, coupled with the coherence of some details, which is a good way to piece together the chaotic materials during the shooting, like a puzzle, into a well-made picture.
But at the same time, he was a little surprised by Lu Zhengyi's talent.
To be honest, even if I really like it, and put in the effort to learn in the real shooting.
This learning efficiency should not be so high.
After two films, you will be able to have the level of independent post-processing, and Zhang Yu can foresee that with two more dramas, maybe Lu Zhengyi will be able to shoot truly independently and become a real director.
And Lu Zhengyi is relatively calm about these compliments.
He watched the film silently, making comparisons in his heart, thinking about when he would be able to create a work that truly belongs to him.
Lu Zhengyi knew very well that he could be so perfect in the first independent post-processing.
It's entirely because he already has a template in his heart - the "Curse" he had seen in his previous life.
Although, between the two, whether it is the plot, the actors, or the real scene...... have changed dramatically.
But it is undeniable that he is indeed standing on the shoulders of giants to look at the world, doing the thing of 'planting trees before his predecessors and enjoying the shade after others'.
Create from nothing, from zero to one,
It is very different from improving on the basis of the original and refining one (Tang Guo version) from the basis of one.
Lu Zhengyi still has a long way to go in the director's business.
"Since there are no revisions, then this is a finished film, and I will send the clip for review tomorrow."
When the lights in the room came back on, Lu Zhengyi looked at a few people and said calmly, "Fengzi, you can take some more clips, make a little teaser video, and send them to the light and shadow." ”
"It's the end of August, and if it goes well, the audit should be completed in September."
"When the time comes, strive for October 1...... Forget it, the Mid-Autumn Festival, try to set the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the time comes, the audience and their families will be reunited together, and go to the cinema to watch a "curse", thinking about it is a beautiful thing. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, both the person in charge of editing and the deputy director Zhang on the other end of the video were silent.
They know very well how deep the malice of this film is.
"Alas...... It's time to be scolded again. ”
Zhang Yu's faint voice rang from his phone.
At some point, in his impression, making a movie was still a thing that should be praised and blessed.
But now that he is with Lu Zhengyi, if nothing else, he will be chased and scolded by the audience in the future.
