Chapter 18 "Heroes"

The Lunar New Year file from the end of 2002 to the beginning of 2003 was very deserted. Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" was absent from the Lunar New Year file this year because the script had not passed the review.

There is only one "Hero" in the whole of December, and the next blockbuster that attracts much attention is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", but the latter is scheduled to be released on January 12, more than a month later by China Film.

So, this winter, you have no choice but to watch "Heroes".

On the 14th, "Hero" held its premiere in the Great Hall.

"The Great Hall still allows this kind of event?" Cheng Lingfeng was surprised when she heard the news.

"The Great Hall also accepts commercial activities in its free time, and the State Guest House can also host private birthday parties," Cheng Yu'an explained.

"Who is hosting a birthday party at the State Guesthouse?"

"It's not important." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

"Then we'll go to the Great Hall for the premiere." Cheng Lingfeng set a flag, and continued, "Can you get tickets for the premiere of "Heroes?"

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Cheng Yu'an took out two premiere tickets from his pocket, "Just two, I got them from Mr. Hou."

The two drove to the Great Hall.

Heart Screen requires you to wear formal attire to participate in the premiere, and you must hand in all your watches, mobile phones, keys, cameras, etc. before entering the venue and seal them out.

Whenever Cheng Lingfeng was angry like this, he would argue with the staff on the spot.

"Too despised!"

Cheng Yu'an hurriedly pulled her back: "It's what you said, and now I'm going to quarrel with someone again. If you don't look at it, let's go back now."

Cheng Lingfeng had no choice but to hand over her things, and sat in her seat resentfully waiting for the premiere to start.

The host was Phoenix Satellite TV's Huadan Lu Yu, who sat for nearly an hour before the premiere began.

The movie starts playing.

Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly one of Cheng Yu'an's favorite directors, and you can always look forward to him.

At the end of the film screening, of course the scene responded with the warmest applause.

Director Zhang brought five leading actors Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Chen Daoming and Zhang Ziyi to the stage.

"Hero" is an excellent movie in every respect.

But Cheng Lingfeng really paid attention to the five actors on the stage:
"Zhang Manyu is so beautiful."

"Don't you like Liang Chaowei and Chen Daoming?"

"I like Zhang Manyu better, don't you think Liang Chaowei is not good enough for her?"

"may be."

After listening to the creators' creative experience and interesting stories on the set for a while, my aunt and nephew stopped participating in the following activities.

After walking out of the great hall, Cheng Lingfeng talked about the movie itself:
"The quality of the movie itself is high. This year's Lunar New Year is almost the only movie he can watch, and the box office should not be bad. But I always feel that the values ​​​​behind this movie are very strange."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu'an asked with a smile.

"I personally like this film very much, and I think it is better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But I worry that when it comes out, it will be criticized as justifying Qin Shihuang's dictatorship.

"I know it's impossible for Wuming to kill Qin Shihuang, but such a set of rhetoric would be very strange in a movie.

"and……"

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to continue, but Cheng Yu'an interrupted: "Yes, it's a set, and what, continue."

"Also, I don't like Zhang Weiping."

"How to say?"

"Look at the way he was at the scene just now, as if he made the movie. Also, his way of hype is uncomfortable. Although this can increase the box office of the movie, the method is a bit low."

Cheng Yuan thought, this is unbearable, Zhang Weiping's more despicable methods are yet to come.

"What's more, I don't like this man's appearance. He looks like a villain, and he will bully Zhang Yimou when he looks at it."

"You're going too far." Although Cheng Yu'an knew that Zhang Weiping was not a good person and didn't like him, what Cheng Lingfeng said was true to a certain extent, but Cheng Yu'an still felt a little nonsense to say that Zhang Weiping was not a good person through his face.

"I've finished watching the movie, let's go back to the company. How is the crew of "Youth Son of Heaven" getting ready?"

"It went well, I found Liu Heng as the screenwriter."

"I have a good eye, I can find him." Cheng Yu'an is very sure of Cheng Lingfeng's choice, Liu Heng is an old writer and screenwriter.

"A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" was written by him.

"Originally, I wanted to find Lu Wei or Zou Jingzhi, but neither of them was available. Oh, and also, Liu Heng wanted to be the director of this show, so I haven't called him yet."

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while. In his memory, Liu Heng was the screenwriter and director of the first part of "Youth Son of Heaven", and it was done very well.

"We can let him direct, but if we need to find a producer, I will ask Mr. Xie Xiaojing to be the producer of this drama. Let Guo Fei and Huang Ke be the assistant directors."

"As for the actors, I found a newcomer to play Shunzhi."

"Who?"

"Deng Chao, from the School of Drama, just graduated this year. He acted in an unknown TV series before. I saw that he has a good image and temperament, so I signed him to play the leading role. The other actors have no idea yet." to the company.

In fact, Cheng Yu'an can come to a wave of teacher Xu's metaphysical casting. With the memory of his previous life, it is not a problem to pull the original cast members together.

But he didn't do that, and let Cheng Lingfeng do these things himself, so that he could train the team.

After sitting in the company for a while, Cheng Yu'an went back to the college's editing room to continue editing the film.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the fine editing was finally completed, and Cheng Yu'an cheered in the editing room alone:
"finished!"

Editing is generally divided into rough cutting, fine cutting and fixed cutting. Cheng Yu'an has personally completed the rough cutting and fine cutting. Generally, at this step, the editing of a film is almost over.

The final fixed cut should be revised and modified on the basis of the refined cut.

After the cut is fixed, post-production should be done, dubbing should be dubbed, the soundtrack should also be added, subtitles should be done, color grading, foley and so on.

Fortunately, "Sniper Phone Booth" does not need any special effects, otherwise it would be time consuming.

After the cut is fixed, you can't move, not even a single frame, every minute and every second.

Otherwise, the post-production personnel would have the heart to kill the editing.

dong dong dong.

Cheng Yu'an was alone in the editing room, when someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Xie, why are you here?" Opening the door, it was Mr. Xie Xiaojing, the director of the director department.

"What are you shouting inside alone?" Xie Xiaojing walked into the editing room and looked around.

"Isn't this the finished cut, I'm happy." Cheng Yu'an explained, "It's just right, Mr. Xie, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter, you said."

"Don't I start a small company?"

"I know, it's in Chaoyang."

"Yes, there is a new costume drama recently, and Mr. Liu Heng is invited to be the screenwriter and director."

"Old Liu is still a director?"

"It was Mr. Liu who asked for it on his own initiative. He said that he had been writing scripts for others for so many years, and this time he wanted to make a film by himself. We recognized Mr. Liu's strength and were willing to try, so we let him be the director." Cheng Yu'an explained.

"Then what do you want me for?" Xie Xiaojing asked.

"After all, we are a newly established company. Teacher Liu is the first time to be a director. Although we believe in him, we have no idea, so we would like to ask you to be the producer of this drama. If there is anything usual, you and Teacher Liu still have Lingfeng, let's discuss it." Cheng Yu'an laughed after he finished speaking.

"Okay, anyway, I haven't worked on the set for a long time. I want to see what Lao Liu can do with the film." Xie Xiaojing readily agreed.

Xie Xiaojing knew that Cheng Yu'an just wanted to invite herself to look at Liu Heng. Long-distance Media was a small company, and the head of Cheng Lingfeng was too young, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to surrender to an old man like Liu Heng.

　Happy National Day everyone!I have to drive home tomorrow, so I have an early rest.
