I'm not just a director

Chapter 35 Three Women
Jiang Pei'an built a linear editing machine.

In the following days, he stayed in the villa to edit "Ghost Story".

Linear editing is much more difficult than nonlinear editing.

In non-linear editing software, as long as there is an editing idea, the finished film is generally not too bad.

But with the old antique linear editing machine, Jiang Pei'an had to spend time learning how to use the machine.

Fortunately, I have the experience of editing folk ditties in TV stations and Beijing.

He got started with the editing machine quite smoothly...

Friends who are familiar with the post-production work of film and television should know how boring editing is.

Editors tend to have messy hair, cigarettes, and stubble.

Although Jiang Pei'an was not so sloppy, he was not much better.

"Director, have you not slept for a few days?"

When Hu Jing came, Jiang Pei'an was staring at the clip on the monitor with dark circles under his eyes.

Jiang Pei'an scratched his head and said:

"I forgot, anyway, I open my eyes every day, wash up and start working."

In order to make the film come out sooner, Jiang Pei'an really didn't have a good rest these days.

Hu Jing was stunned:

"What about dinner?"

"Those on the table..."

Hu Jing looked at the table, several buckets of instant noodles were casually placed on the table, and a few cigarette butts were thrown in the noodle soup.

"Just eat these? How nutritious!"

While complaining, Hu Jing opened the window in the room for ventilation.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head. In later generations, he dealt with instant noodles and cigarettes when working.

As for takeaway, he rarely eats it.

Maybe it's because when I was young, I always thought that I would eat instant noodles every day when I grow up...

"Aren't you going to class today?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

"There are not many classes in the third year, and I won't be found if I skip a few classes occasionally.

By the way, director, I bought an electric car, it will be more convenient to come to your place in the future. "

Hu Jing said with a smile, and took the things she brought to the kitchen:

"Keep busy. I'll cook you some rice and some pork rib soup. It's not healthy to eat instant noodles all the time."

I eat instant noodles, still care about health?

Jiang Pei'an remembered a stalk from later generations.

He smiled and said:
"Then trouble you."

"No trouble, hey."

……

Hu Jing came over every now and then to give Jiang Pei'an extra meals.

This girl is good at craftsmanship, since she knew that Jiang Pei'an was from Xinyang.

Not knowing the skills she learned, she made Jiang Pei'an a special product of Xinyang, Gra Tiao!
After eating, she even made a bowl of egg soup for Jiang Pei'an.

Egg soup with granola, only authentic Xinyang people will eat like this!
Jiang Pei'an was really surprised.

"Where did you learn it?"

Jiang Pei'an took a sip of Gela Tiao, the texture was tough and the taste was very good!

"Hey, keep it secret~"

Hu Jing said proudly.

The two were talking, when the text message on the phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at his mobile phone, but continued to eat Gela Tiao without saying a word.

The phone is still ringing.

Hu Jing asked curiously:
"Why don't you check your phone?"

"Scam message."

"Oh."

After Jiang Pei'an finished his meal, he sat in front of the editing machine to edit the video.

Hu Jing went to the kitchen to wash the pot.

Jiang Pei'an took the phone and glanced at the text message:
"The director is so fierce on the set, some actors have already been scolded and cried by him!"

"I feel that my lines are very poor. Is there a way to improve my lines quickly? Please teach me Jiang Daojiao, please help!"

"What are you doing? Are you busy?"

"Then you go ahead, it's my part!"

……

Jiang Pei'an rubbed his head, staring blankly at the name of the sender Gao Yuanyuan.

This girl is really lucky. She just finished filming "Can't Find the North" and joined the crew of "Attack on Time".

This is a professional drama about journalists.

Everyone is familiar with the main characters, Vulkang Zhou Jue, who looks at people with his nostrils, Zhang Qian, Zhang Weijian's wife, Heizi who played Wutian, and Liang Jing, the wife of director Guan Hu.

These are a bunch of actors with backgrounds!
"Busy."

After replying the text message to Gao Yuanyuan, Jiang Pei'an looked in the direction of the kitchen again and heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why, but he just felt a little... guilty.

Whether it's Hu Jing or Gao Yuanyuan, during the few days when he retreated and edited the film, they "disturbed" him a lot.

Hu Jing's reason is very good, the director's life is very irregular.

The body is a trivial matter, but what if she dies in her first movie as the heroine?

Gao Yuanyuan returned to his cowardly appearance after joining the crew.

She always felt that her acting skills were not good, and she was afraid of dragging down the crew.

After learning that Jiang Pei'an was the director, she often called and sent text messages to learn from him.

Jiang Pei'an, who is very popular, is also very distressed, because now he is going to meet a third woman...

……

"Sister Li! Are you busy?"

The crew of "Pretty Mom" ​​has moved from Yushui to Beijing for filming.

After Jiang Pei'an got the permit from Tai Zuhui to enter and exit the crew, he went straight to Gong Li's lounge.

"It's you, long time no see."

Gong Li still remembers this musician and director who wanted to take advantage of her.

She looked at Jiang Pei'an, smiled and said:
"Just after the show, I'm about to go back, what's the matter?"

Jiang Pei'an laughed and said:
"I know Sister Li that you are a busy person, and I will go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do.

I want you to take a look at my work, please give me some suggestions and comments. "

Gong Li was surprised and said:
"Is there already a movie?"

It hasn't been a month since Yu Shui parted last time, and he just made a movie out of it?

To be honest, Gong Li regretted recommending Hu Jing to him.

In less than a month, pre-production, mid-term shooting and post-production were all completed.

Can such works be seen?
Or, is it too sloppy?
Jiang Pei'an smiled and said nothing, and put the recorded tape into the DV player.

Gong Li calmly looked at the picture in the DV
In the opening few minutes, a brief background explanation was given.

But to be honest, judging from the first few minutes, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

If it's just this quality, it's not enough to make her heart flutter.

But this way of shooting is refreshing, and the sense of substitution is very strong...

As the plot continued to advance, Gong Li's expression turned solemn, and she became more and more involved in watching.

This is different from when she first read the script.

The script is just words, even if the picture can be imagined, it is broken and fragmented after all.

Now that she has a specific picture, she only needs to be an audience.

Jiang Pei'an keenly noticed that Gong Li's fingers holding the clothes were gradually turning white...

He smiled slightly and continued to look at the screen.

Time was slowly passing by, and after the 80-minute movie was played, Gong Li was slightly absent-minded.

After a long delay, she sighed:

"There are no specific images of ghosts in the whole film, but the atmosphere is very good.

Pressing step by step, advancing layer by layer, let the tension and fear reach the extreme, and finally there will be another big explosion...

A very good and very alternative horror film, although I don't know much about horror films.

But it feels like you've done something really amazing..."

　Thanks to the Vest Brothers of the Winged Devil for the big reward, and thanks to the monthly pass of the Brothers who eat spinach every day!
