From the dream-chasing showbiz to remake bad films

Chapter 36 Fine Cut (1)

Seeing that Pei Yang was still swaying slowly, Xia Yike was very angry.

"Pei Dagou, hurry up!"

Seeing that Pei Yang still had no response, Xia Yike gritted his teeth and grabbed Pei Yang's hand.

Feeling the softness in the palm of his hand, Pei Yang raised the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, he also accelerated his walking speed.

Xia Yike sighed helplessly, she felt that Pei Yang was not only becoming more clingy, but also becoming cunning.

She can't play with him anymore.

But she was a little intoxicated by this feeling, and she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

It was only after walking downstairs to Xia Yike's bedroom that Pei Yang let go of his wet hands.

"Then, good night?" Pei Yang looked at Xia Yike through the street lamp and the faint light upstairs.

Xia Yike gave a soft "hmm", and at this moment, she also felt a little bit reluctant.

Xia Yike wanted to wave his hand at Pei Yang to let him gun, but Pei Yang took a step forward and put his arms around Xia Yike.

"Ke Ke, I like you, I like you very much." Pei Yang put his face in Xia Yike's hair, he liked the fragrance of Xia Yike's hair.

Xia Yi didn't speak, but she turned her head, and there seemed to be a pool of quiet spring water in her eyes.

She stood on tiptoe and gently pecked Pei Yang's chin.

Pei Yang lowered his head and licked Xia Yike's lips.

But it was a short kiss, after all, it was time to say good night.

"Good night." Pei Yang inserted his hand into Xia Yike's hair and played with it one last time.

"You too." Xia Yike also said.

Pei Yang watched Xia Yike walk towards the dormitory building and then ran back, hugging Pei Yang.

"I like you very much too, more than you." Xia Yi could never give up on the degree of liking.

Pei Yang hugged Xia Yike's waist and kissed her forehead, "Go back, it's getting late."

Xia Yike really wanted to go back this time.

Only one sentence was left, "See you tomorrow."

……

Pei Yang and Xia Yike had breakfast together, and as usual, Pei Yang went to the editing room of the Film Academy, and Xia Yike went to Yibu Building for classes.

After a good night's rest, Pei Yang didn't feel well, after all, he dreamed about some bad things, for example, he actually stuck out his tongue.

But he is still well rested and in good spirits.

Pei Yang opened the PR to prepare for the third step of editing, fine editing.

In the process of fine cutting, it is necessary to adjust the details of the film to further strengthen and consolidate the structure and rhythm determined during rough cutting.

It is also necessary to delete some unnecessary shots or paragraphs with redundant information in the film, and some paragraphs in the film lack information, so more shots need to be inserted to increase the amount of information.

However, this is only a fine cut in a broad sense.

For Pei Yang, he has basically omitted all the parts to be added in the step of fine cutting, only the subtraction is left.

But subtracting is not an easy task.

It's a very simple reason, these shots were taken bit by bit by Pei Yang's hard work, and he has always done his best during the shooting, and he has never touched a fish.

Basically, there is not much difference between good and bad lenses.

Well, except for those scenes that he must keep when he is full of inspiration, such as: Shen Jiayi and Ke Jingteng going to the rooftop, Ke Jingteng's one-man show, Ke Jingteng's injury in the theater, and a few empty scenes.

Apart from these, there is nothing that must be preserved.

But these shots are all of Pei Yang's sons (dog heads).

Are you willing to give up your son?

Therefore, fine cutting requires Pei Yang to be more devoted and relatively more exhausted.

Within two days, Pei Yang managed to deal with less than one-fifth of it.

He felt that his shots were very good. Except for some shots that were really unnecessary, the rest of the shots could either express the characters well, or the atmosphere, or the emotions, or the beauty of the shots.

He really didn't want to cut it with a knife, it was like cutting his flesh.

But he is also helpless, he is just a newcomer who can't be more cute now, he doesn't talk about control anymore, he can't even affect the duration of the film now.

Most of the movies on the market today are between 90 and 120 minutes long. Is it because the director doesn’t want to make longer ones, or doesn’t want to keep more shots?

No!

But now the number of movie halls in China is lagging behind the number of audiences. Many people who need to watch movies may give up watching movies because they don't have seats.

If the duration of the movie is short, the theater can arrange several more shows at the same time, and the profit may be increased by [-]% to [-]%.

Then, in order to meet the needs of the theater, the film company will also require the director to cut the film into two hours, with one and a half hours as the most standard.

Then you ask why not make it shorter.

The audience has discerning eyes, no matter how short it is, if the price is the same, no one will watch it.

Therefore, Pei Yang could only cut out the most satisfactory effect he could, and asked the distribution company that got the movie not to mess around and cut his movie.

So even if he cut the flesh, he had to shorten the time to less than two hours.

You ask, why didn't Chuanying help him get these things done.

Chuanying is just a school. It has no theaters and no distribution channels. It does have some influence on distribution, but will it use this influence for Pei Yang?
joke.

Moreover, the school was able to help Pei Yang's "Hurrying" take the fast track to get the shooting permit, and also lent a lot of shooting tools, and returned the venue and shooting funds, which is enough to be benevolent.

Besides, Pei Yang will definitely participate in the film industry in the future, and the wise choice is of course not to be an enemy of the theater chain.

So I also don't understand why certain entertainments like to take away benefits that don't belong to them, and offend a large number of people.

What's even more outrageous is that every time it can force the giants who control the theaters to bow their heads.

Reasonably speaking, in China, with the influence of giants, there are not many movies for you, and there are not many movies for you.

There are more than 300 days a year, and one or more new movies may be released every day. How old are you as a filmmaker?

Without you, Zhang San, they still have Li Si, Wang Wu, and Zhao Liu, and they can still make money.

Just like Tencent, there are hundreds of skins in King Pesticide, and each of them can make money.

If you lose one of your skins, there will be no essential difference except that they earn a little less.

The head of Wupi Village, he hasn’t had skin for so many years, did Tencent find a way to solve it?

No, because people think it doesn't matter, if you don't have Genghis Khan's skin, then you won't earn money from this hero.

It does not matter.

Anyway, Pei Yang didn't want to be an iron-headed baby, he still wanted to establish a good relationship with those who engaged in theaters, after all, he would have to make a living with them in the future.

As long as the big bosses don't lose their wits like those in third-rate entertainment novels, then they certainly won't have any grudges with potential new star directors who may succeed in the future.

After all, making money together is not better than you messing with me, I messing with you, and everyone making less money?
As long as we can make money together, we are all good brothers, dear brothers.

This is indeed a society where newspaper groups keep warm, and harmony generates wealth.

　Asking for votes, asking for follow-up reading, now the policy of Dianniang has changed, you must follow-up reading to recommend, everyone, even if you want to keep a book, you have to move your little hands every day to click on the latest chapter, otherwise it will be easy to keep it to death. .
