Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 86 Film Editing
"Whatever Ren Zhonglun can provide, China Film Group can also provide to you..."

Han Sanping talked on and on.

But Zhou Mo didn't listen carefully. He suddenly said, "But the contract that Mr. Ren signed with me is that as long as our company cooperates with them in the future, the TV series we shoot will always be scheduled in the prime time of Tomato TV."

Han Sanping reacted.

"Good boy, you were waiting for me here.

"Okay! As long as you bring out your works in the future, I will also help you get in touch with Yanjing TV. If it's not enough, I will even help you contact CCTV, okay?"

"Great! That's great!"

Zhou Mo was satisfied.

Han Sanping added, "But I have to make one thing clear to you in advance. If Director Zhou wants me to run errands for you, that's fine, but the script you bring out must be your own. I won't recognize anyone else's."

He had already got the script of "Victory is Justice" some time ago.

After watching it, I felt so regretful.

Why didn't he get the script in the first place?

"no problem!"

Zhou Mo pounded his chest and said, "Just wait and see. If I have another script, I will definitely contact you first."

As for making movies, he may not have enough time.

But when it comes to scripts, he has a lot of excellent works.

……

After returning to the company, Zhou Mo officially began the post-production of "John Wick: Chapter 11".

But after just two days, Zhou Mo stopped what he was doing.

He found that his efficiency was a little slow.

Unlike the previous two films, "Fast and Furious" contains a large number of action scenes, which makes editing much more difficult than films like "Love Is Not Blind" and "New World" which are more than 90% literary dramas.

Zhou Mo made a simple estimate of the progress and figured out that it would be difficult to finish the haircut before December by himself.

So, he decided to find a helper.
"Brother Jing, welcome. We meet again in less than a week."

Zhou Mo called Wu Jing over.

In a way that doesn't cost money.

"Brother Jing, when I heard you say you wanted to make a movie, I had the idea of ​​inviting you to participate in the post-production of the movie. Didn't you also say at the wrap-up party that after "Wolf Tooth", you have always wanted to find an opportunity to learn more about the post-production process in detail?
So I took the liberty of calling you this time, I hope you don’t mind.”

After these words were spoken, Zhuang Wenqiang, who had been following Zhou Mo, was stunned.

Being able to describe prostitution in such a refreshing and refined way...

Is there such a way to play?
Zhou Mo also noticed Zhuang Wenqiang's expression and gave him a look.

"You're surprised by what you've seen, right? How can this be called freeloading? I'm clearly providing experience to people!"

Zhuang Wenqiang was shocked. He had never seen such a shameless person!
He returned the look:

"Are you sure Wu Jing will agree with what you said?"

Zhou Mo: "What's the big deal? Believe it or not, he still has to thank me!"

As expected, just as the extremely brief eye contact between the two ended, Wu Jing opened her mouth to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Director Zhou, for giving me this opportunity..."

"It's a small matter. Come on, Brother Jing, I'll introduce the following situation to you."

After saying that, Zhou Mo put his arm around Wu Jing's shoulders and walked into the house.

Only Zhuang Wenqiang was left standing there stupidly.

After a long time, he sighed as if waking up from a dream.

“Young people still know how to have fun!”

Inside the studio.

Wu Jing looked at the various equipment in the house, big and small, with envy in her eyes.

When he was filming "Wolf Fang" at the beginning, he didn't have such good tools. "Why, Brother Jing, did you see something good?"

Wu Jing scratched his head and told the truth: "Director Zhou, you have so many good things here. I am drooling just looking at them."

"Brother Jing, there's no need to be envious. These things will play a role in your hands for some time to come." Zhou Mo casually made a big promise: "Besides, as long as John Wick becomes a hit, then a set of tools will be nothing more than a drop in the ocean for you, Brother Jing."

After listening to this, Wu Jing became more excited.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I will do my best on the editing."

After introducing the tools, Wu Jing gradually regained his composure. He asked, "I wonder what Director Zhou's specific requirements are for editing this time?"

“First of all, the pace must be fast.”

Zhou Mo stretched out a finger and said solemnly.

"Brother Jing, you know the situation of my drama. The protagonist is fighting with different people most of the time, and the rhythm of the movie itself is very fast.

And I hope that through editing, I can expand this effect even more.

It would be best if the audience could feel extremely nervous while watching the movie, as if they were listening to a teacher in a math class and had to concentrate. Otherwise, if they were distracted for a moment, they would turn around and find that the blackboard was already full. "

Zhou Mo determined the style of the entire movie at the beginning of filming "John Wick: Chapter 8".

One word:

fast.

Fast pace, fast shooting, fast killing.

This requirement is very basic and Wu Jing doesn't think it is difficult.

Although he is not a professional editor, he directed and acted in the action movie "Wolf Tooth" and is very experienced in the rhythm of action movies.

An excellent movie, even if the rhythm of the literary part is slow, once there is a plot involving battle, the rhythm is very tense and exciting.

No audience wants to watch an action-packed gunfight movie that moves slowly throughout the entire movie in a cinema.

And "John Wick" takes this kind of battle part to the extreme, accounting for nearly 70% of the movie's plot.

"Another point is that in our play, whenever there are elements of Tao Province and Sakura, it is best to modify them. It is best to make it so that it is not explicitly stated that it is those two places, but it seems to be those two places everywhere."

Zhou Mo translated what Han Sanping had said to him and repeated it to Wu Jing.

"As for the rest, I don't have any requirements. Brother Jing can handle the minor details of the editing process on his own."

Wu Jing understood and made an OK gesture.

"Director Zhou, rest assured, I will complete the task!"

Wu Jing was very clear about the purpose of her participation in the editing of "Fast and Furious".

In addition to getting familiar with the equipment, it is more about accumulating experience so that I can make my own movies in the future.

As for everything else, just listen to director Zhou Mo.

The editing ideas have been determined.

The three of them officially started their work.

With a room full of good equipment in hand, Wu Jing burst out with 120% enthusiasm for work.

For the first time, Zhou Mo witnessed Wu Jing's willpower that he had cultivated in the army.

He is really a ruthless person who can work in front of the computer for a whole day and a night without sleeping.

Seeing Wu Jing working so hard, Zhou Mo also developed a competitive spirit and started working hard with Wu Jing.

Five days later.

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't stand it anymore.
