With the gradual expansion of the plum civet crew, the location of this editing room is not the small shop on the street.

Before the crew went to Heguo, they had rented a floor in a commercial building near Guangying as a new office location.

Now, a few months later, the renovation of this floor has been completed and is still breathable.

In one of them, in a specially soundproofed editing room, next to a long table with several monitors, Lu Zhengyi was looking at some of the materials they were working on, and proposed:

"The tone doesn't have to be so gray."

"Although dark tones give texture to the picture and make it easier for the plot to focus on the characters, this is not a panacea. It's a movie with a dim light, and if it's dark, with the environment of the theater, the audience won't be able to see anything. ”

"This time, the film should be dim and yellow in color, which will not affect the color of the picture itself, but also don't let the sun shine too brightly......"

Xu Feng, the leader of the post-production team, is not only Lu Zhengyi's hair, but also the person who joined the gang since he started making movies.

I know his shooting habits very well.

But it was a domestic movie, and the main target group of Lu Zhengyi's film this time was abroad.

The focus is on the country.

Since the beginning, in order to seize the market of Heguo, at the same time, we should look at the Southern Dynasties and Xiangguo...... These Eastern Zhou regions, in countries where the entertainment industry has developed well, have adapted to the shooting techniques of Heguo horror films, and in terms of post-production style, Lu Zhengyi does not want to pull across.

and the country's films, or directly film and television.

Extremely vivid hues are rarely used, as if saturated tones have never appeared in the country.

They often use cool colors of dusk to give the film a sense of déjà vu at sunset.

But this may also have something to do with their humanistic society, as a developed country, after the bubble economy, the social environment has always been extremely sluggish.

All kinds of social problems have not been solved, and the suicide rate is increasing day by day.

In this case, many films use a very depressing, tragic melody to illustrate the story.

And horror films, naturally, have to deepen the details in this regard.

For example, the camera shows a clear sky, but in later stages it is necessary to make the sky less blue.

Although the sun hangs high in the sky, it is not dazzling, and it cannot leave the audience with warm and energetic thoughts, but rather makes the audience feel depressed because of this 'cold' and 'dim' sun.

"I've always had a problem, though."

Listening to Lu Zhengyi's explanation of Heguo's film style and suggestions for dealing with curses, Xu Feng couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Heguo make some positive films, but instead maintained pathosis when the suicide rate was so high?" ”

"Doesn't that make the situation worse? There have even been a few suicide meccas. ”

"I have also learned about it before, and I feel that whether it is literature or film, the works that are generally called 'masterpieces' are very pessimistic, and few works of truth, kindness and beauty can be recognized by the public. It's only in the field of animation.,Occasionally, there can be some more enthusiastic content.。 ”

Shouldn't this phenomenon be stopped?

How do they feel that they are still enjoying it?

Next to them, Li Feng and Yang Jianwei also turned their chairs and looked at Lu Zhengyi with inquiring eyes.

It seems that when they were working on these footage alone, they also had a certain level of understanding of the culture of Wakoku.

"You ask me?"

But Lu Zhengyi's expression became strange, "How do I know this, I am a Tang countryman." ”

Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, "...... Didn't you say that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles? ”

"That's right."

Lu Zhengyi stood beside them, looking at them with his hands on his chest, "I know their market and what movies their people like, that's enough." ”

"Their people like tragedy, they like cold colors, they like the style of twilight, then we filmed the curse, I think the plot of the curse is tragic enough, those who were killed inexplicably, are they miserable? Miserable. What about the heroine? Although it was very bad after death, it was quite miserable when it was alive. ”

"The plot meets the requirements, and the colors and editing techniques in the later stage will be handled according to the style they want. Then pass five levels, kill six generals, and quickly leave our name in the Heguo horror film market, isn't it okay. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "As for what, suicide rate, pathos, what does it have to do with us. ”

"This Heguo is not our crew's, we don't need to worry about them, besides...... Let's make this horror movie to scary, not to save people. ”

Xu Feng and the others paused, as if it was the same reason.

"Alright."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "Let's look at the special effects, this special effect ......"

As he spoke, he laughed, but before he could say anything more, a knock on the door interrupted the words.

All of a sudden, Lu Zhengyi quieted down.

"Director Lu, the afternoon tea you ordered has arrived."

Immediately afterwards, a female voice sounded from outside the house, it was Yu Wenxiu's agent.

"I'm in trouble."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and nodded, and went over to bring the afternoon tea he ordered.

In this summer, you can have air conditioning + cold drinks when you work, and your work efficiency can be higher.

The agent nodded in return and closed the door again.

Xu Feng and the others didn't speak, they were not very familiar with this person.

"But is it really good to have them working here?"

While holding the fruit tea handed over by Lu Zhengyi, Xu Feng whispered, "It's one thing for us to be here, when we go to filming, we won't be here for several months, if someone enters a place where they shouldn't go, what should we do?" ”

Since Light and Shadow arranged assistants and agents for the actors who signed contracts with Mei Tanuki, Lu Zhengyi proposed that these operators should work here.

If they all go out to film, there can be some people here, lest they come and can't find a place to contact.

"Is there a place not to enter?" Lu Zhengyi gulped down the orange juice, "When we catch up with the filming, we must have taken everything we should have brought with us, what stone statues and noodles, we will definitely be able to use them for filming and shooting." ”

"As for the videos, here, I will only keep the finished films."

"I keep all the originals in the storage room at home."

That way, even if they're not here.

These people in the company walk around, and they only see things that can be seen.

However, Lu Zhengyi's attention didn't stay on the people outside, which was what Zhang Xueming was responsible for.

"Do you think there's anything you need to deal with?"

He turned to the special effects that were shot in the film.

"I don't feel like I need to deal with it."

Xu Feng shook his head, "Xiao Xu's illusion construction level is much more skilled than when he was in the first commandment. ”

"When we finished filming the First Commandment, we had to work camera transitions and sound effects to make the overall horror atmosphere of the film better,"

"But this time I don't need to, probably because of the two references of Mr. Li and Ning Ning, he is very good at portraying."

As he spoke, he clicked on a picture of Ga Coconut's appearance, "Like this paragraph, it was when Mr. Chen Junsheng took Kyoko Kanda into the house when he first entered the house, and the main body of this fixed shot was the two of them entering the house, but in the upper right corner of the picture, Ga Coco slowly walked out of the balcony from the second floor." ”

"When I was in charge of this part, I was honestly taken aback."

"You said before that horror movies in Heguo can't rely on sound effects to win, so let's use the original sound to create a quiet viewing atmosphere, I still think it's a little inappropriate. But now, I think it's possible. ”

On the dim yellow tone that had just been adjusted, Chen Junsheng and Kyoko Kanda entered the house with a smile, because of the blind spot in the field of vision, he suddenly didn't know the coconuts that came out slowly on the second floor.

And the appearance of this coconut, white clothes and black hair, can't see the face clearly.

Just watching, Lu Zhengyi didn't feel anything afraid.

Mainly, if this really Gacozi came and stood in front of him, he would not be afraid.

Simply, Lu Zhengyi asked them to turn off the screen temporarily, and then he projected this section of the lens on the screen next to it.

"Guys, do any of you usually have the courage to watch horror movies?"

Lu Zhengyi opened the door of the editing room and asked the people in the office area outside, "That's the case, we just cut a short piece of film here, but the authorities are fascinated, and we people who shoot think it's good, but it's not enough." ”

"So now, we're going to be a bystander, and let everyone help take a look and see how the quality is."

"If there is something bad, you can also brainstorm and revise it in time."

A group of people who had been listening to his inquiry, who were still a little hesitant, listened to the words behind them, and many of them raised their hands.

"I'm me, I'm Dao Lu, I'm bold."

"I dare to go into a haunted house alone!"

"I've seen all of your films!"

They raised their hands and said that this was a good opportunity to watch the movie in advance.

You can also watch movies with pay at work, who wouldn't want to.

"If you want to give some advice, just go into the house." Lu Zhengyi beckoned to them, "Although the footage is not long, it is only a matter of a few minutes, but let's say it first, after reading the content, you can't leak it out before the release." ”

"If nothing else, my news channels are still very well-informed."

"As long as it flows out, I can find out where it came from and how it flowed."

Although they are given the opportunity to watch the movie, what should be said must be made clear first.

"Understood, Director Lu."

Yu Wenxiu's agent is relatively old, and among these operators, he can be regarded as a leader, "We have worked in Light and Shadow for several years before, although we are not engaged in our current position, but as a media company in the entertainment industry, some basic confidentiality matters are still very clear." ”

"Okay."

Lu Zhengyi watched them all find chairs and sit down in the editing room, then closed the door with a smile and turned off the lights again.

"It's a bit of a movie in the cinema."

In the darkness, someone spoke.

Indeed, Lu Zhengyi is not stingy with this money, and the equipment in this editing studio is purchased according to professional sheds.

And this projection equipment is similar to the configuration of the theater.

It's just that the screen is slightly smaller.

On top of that, their sound system is probably better than in the theater.

Do this not for anything else, but for the sake of the finished film, so that they can watch the content in a similar atmosphere as the theater audience for the first time.

"Is this the house that the crew arranged for me?"

Soon, there was silence in the editing room.

There is no dragon mark, no beginning, because it is just a processed shooting material, so the plot does not have any foreshadowing, and Chen Junsheng appeared on the screen.

However, after his figure appeared, Lu Zhengyi could obviously feel that the breathing rhythm of many people in the editing room had changed.

It seems that he didn't expect him to show them the clips taken by Chen Junsheng.

If this paragraph flows out, it will definitely not be able to be suppressed, and it will basically be cut out of the film.

But before they could come out of their doubts, suddenly, everyone's breath stagnated.

At the same time, the clip ends here.

The lights came on again, and Lu Zhengyi could clearly see the expressions on each of their faces.

"How?"

He asked with a smile.

And next to him, Xu Feng and the others were also smiling.

“…… It's hard to say about this little paragraph. ”

After a while, some of the people watching the movie replied, "But when the female ghost came out, it really scared me, a little suddenly." ”

"Wait, she's a female ghost, isn't she?"

But soon, someone asked, "Although she gave me the impression that she was a ghost as soon as she came out, but in this paragraph, we don't know the plot, maybe it's a person." ”

"How could it be a person, that ghostly look."

Someone else retorted.

"What the hell?"

The man who spoke at the beginning scratched his head, "Now that I think about it, in fact, that female ghost seems to be dressed quite normally, that is, she is dressed in white and has black hair, and it is not terrifying to look at." But how did I come out of that picture, my eyes inadvertently glanced, and my whole body was cold. ”

"What female ghost?"

However, there are still people who didn't notice the ghost in the upper right corner of the picture just now, "Isn't this the content of Teacher Chen Junsheng's entry into the house?" ”

Looking at their reactions, Lu Zhengyi was very satisfied as a whole.

Okay, well, just this little piece can scare people, and the film will definitely be done.

This Wang Xiaoxu's illusion ability has indeed grown a lot, but the bigger reason should be that there is a template for him to refer to.

He only needs to add some of his own understanding of horror and horror to the images of Li Zhenxi and Liu Baoning.

In that case, there is no need to add sound effects to this section, and it will be in the style I originally set. ’

Lu Zhengyi thought in his heart.

This was the main reason he called people in.

When it comes to sound effects, he's actually a little hesitant.

Most of the horror films in Heguo tend to enter horror from the everyday, and in the process, they are silent and calm.

They seemed to feel that the screams of the actors were more appropriate as a background than adding additional sound effects.

But according to the general specifications of horror movies, the sound effects, plot, and makeup ...... All aspects are indispensable, especially the appropriate sound effects in the right places, which can deepen the audience's senses, and there are also a small number of horror films in the country with sound effects.

So Lu Zhengyi had planned to try adding a little sound effect if this style of interspersing ghost shots from everyday life didn't cause them fear, but now he didn't need it.

"Speaking of which, isn't that kid Wang Xiaoxu also in our late group?"

And after sending the others out of the editing room, Xu Feng suddenly realized a problem, "He should have returned to China by now, right?" What are you doing? ”

"Him?"

Lu Zhengyi closed the door, "He seems to be busy doing game things." ”

At the long table, Xu Feng and the others turned their heads together, "Huh?" ”
