I really don't want to be red

Chapter 893 An Ran's Opinion

Jerry looked at An Ran in surprise.

An Ran said with a smile: "I always feel that the combination of this song and the movie is the best."

Jerry suddenly remembered that this guy was the winner of the "Best Screenplay" at the Xizhou Film Festival, and his director skills are not bad, and he also liked "127 Hours" very much.

A bold idea popped into his mind.

"Mr. An Ran, I would like to invite you to watch the demo in advance..."

Alice opened her mouth suddenly, and looked at Jerry in surprise.

Jerry is a well-known figure among directors of the Mesozoic generation in Xizhou, and his talent is worthy of this fame, but he is very conceited and is known as the devil on the set.

No matter who gives him advice, he won't listen to it. If you insist, he will immediately turn against you.

But now he actually invites An Ran to watch the sample. Obviously, he wants to ask An Ran to help him watch the movie and analyze where there is still room for improvement.

An Ran froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Jerry was immediately overjoyed. After listening to An Ran's "My Heart Will Go On", he always felt that An Ran was definitely the one who understood him best.

Appreciate this proud work with him, and you will definitely gain something.

And he felt that An Ran's song was very good, and there was a vague feeling that the movie was not worthy of this kind of natural sound. Let An Ran watch it, and maybe it could make up for this deficiency.

He had this idea before coming here, so the samples are always carried with him.

"Mr. An Ran, I can't wait. Do you have a screening room here?"

"Ahem, you are in a hurry. I'm running out of time. Why don't we have a meal first and then watch this movie together?"

"OK then!"

Jerry nodded reluctantly, looking a little anxious.

Huang Ling had already reserved the table at this time, and the group left the company and went straight to the hotel.

While eating, although Jerry admired Xia Zhou's food, he couldn't forget his movie and kept urging Alice to eat quickly.

Alice couldn't laugh or cry.

After returning to the company, Jerry took out the pre-produced samples, and Huang Ling took the USB flash drive and went to the screening room together.

Because it is a movie that has not yet been released, all other Fox TV staff were refused to watch it.

Only An Ran, Jerry, Alice, Huang Ling and Su Xiaowan were in the screening room.

Soon the picture appeared on the big screen, An Ran looked at the progress bar, it was only 110 minutes, if the 10-minute ending subtitles were removed, the movie would only be 1 hour and 40 minutes?
As a blockbuster, it is difficult to tell a wonderful story.

Especially for films that embody human nature in this kind of disaster, there is not enough foreshadowing, and it will definitely make the audience feel that "the movie does not meet expectations".

The movie begins.

An Ran looked at it, and the background of the story was roughly the same as "Titanic", but the hero's identity was a boiler worker, responsible for burning boilers in the boiler room at the bottom of the ship.

The heroine is also a rich girl with a fiancé who is engaged, and the content of the story is basically the same.

But after watching it for more than an hour, it gives people the feeling that... something is always almost there.

After watching it, Jerry looked at An Ran expectantly, "Mr. An Ran, I want to know your evaluation of this movie!"

An Ran didn't know what to say. It wasn't because she didn't understand, but because after watching "Titanic" and comparing it with this movie, the gap was obviously too big.

Speaking out, I don't know if it will hurt Jerry too much.

"Mr. An Ran, if you have anything to say, I will definitely not mind!"

Alice sneered in her heart, with your Mr. Jerry's ego, if Mr. An Ran points out the shortcomings, maybe you will turn your face.

An Ran nodded and said, "Since Mr. Jerry doesn't mind, then I'll say it!"

"Come on, I think you are the one who understands me best..."

"Cough cough!"

I understand you chicken, can you stop talking with this tone and vocabulary, it sounds a bit abnormal.

"First of all, I feel that in this movie, what you want to express is not clear. Is it a disaster? Or love? Or human nature? You want to say too much, but nothing is clear!"

Jerry's face suddenly collapsed.

An Ran ignored his expression, "The other one is that the foreshadowing is insufficient. When a disaster strikes, it gives people a sudden feeling, and they don't feel how deep the relationship between the two is. In the end, when the male lead died for the female lead, there was no Too much feeling! Let me tell you this, how romantic it was before, how sad it is at the end... If you want someone to cry to death, you must first feel full of warmth..."

Jerry's face was unhappy again, turned full into seriousness, and finally turned into surprise.

When An Ran first heard what he said, he was indeed a little unhappy, which is human nature.

No matter who likes to listen well, An Ran came up and said that he didn't explain the subject clearly, in fact, he was saying that you can't even tell the story well, which really made him unhappy.

But what An and then pointed out are all good words, as long as you think about it carefully, it is true.

If a movie comes up that the hero dies for the heroine, without any foreshadowing, no one will feel so moved.

Jerry's face was slumped, "Then...Mr. An, you are destined not to watch this movie?"

It will be released in half a month, and it is too late to reshoot now. It seems that this movie will become a black spot in my career.

An Ran thought about it and said, "Actually, this movie is still a romance movie in essence. Disasters are just a seasoning to highlight love. The more thrilling the process, the more touching the love will be!"

"It's not impossible, re-edit..."

"Yes!" Jerry jumped up from the sofa.

After a movie is shot, it usually takes 800 to 1200 shots. It mainly depends on the director’s preference and style. If you like long shots, it usually does not exceed 300 shots, and even a movie with one shot to the end.

Directors who like montage techniques need more than 1000.

As a large-scale film, "Ice and Sea Love" is naturally impossible to play through to the end, and there are many scenes and rich plots. There are more than 1000 shots in the whole film. If it is not edited, it will last more than ten hours.

"In addition, in the section where the ship sinks in the ice sea, we can step up and do some computer special effects to highlight the disaster scene, and use it to set off the hero's last act of sacrificing for the heroine!"

Jerry nodded again and again, although this required an additional budget, it was nothing, as long as he asked, the producer would definitely increase the investment.

At this time, the producers don't want the movie to hit the street, and they will definitely add more if necessary.

"Oh, Teacher An Ran, meeting you is my greatest luck!" Jerry grabbed An Ran's shoulder and said, "In the afternoon, we will take the afternoon flight to Xizhou, and you can start editing right away!"

Huang Ling said from the side: "Shouldn't it be possible to compress it into a digital file and send it here? That would be faster..."
