China Entertainment Times

Chapter 80
Post-production of a film is definitely a dull and tedious process.

Rough cutting, formal editing, and then repeated watching several times, and the final fine cutting, to ensure that the connection between each scene will not be abrupt, to control the time of each plot, and to connect perfectly before the transition.

There is one more, the length of the movie!
Sometimes in order to control the duration within the appropriate range, there must be some trade-offs, which is undoubtedly very tangled in the final fine-cutting.

The original version of "Horror Cruise" is 99 minutes long, which is undoubtedly too long.

Even if some sensitive scenes such as religion are deleted, there are still 93 minutes.

Finally, after repeated consideration, the finished film was fixed at 87 minutes!

Horror movies need to be fast-paced, the more tense the better!

After that, it’s the soundtrack. Tang An doesn’t understand this aspect, so explain your requirements to the post-production base, and the other party’s professionals will naturally figure it out. Then the sound editor, editor, and Tang An will exchange opinions. After reaching an agreement, it will be OK.

There is also the entry of special effects. Only a few shots of "Horror Cruise" need special effects, which is relatively simple.

Then there was dubbing and narration synthesis, which took three or four days.

On May 5st, all the post-production was completed, and the finished film went through magnetic transfer again, burned to film, and made several backups.

Bringing the film to China Film Group again, Han Sanping invited the heads of the operation departments of the major theaters to make a preliminary evaluation of "Terror Cruise" today, which will be used as the basis for future film arrangements.

Last year's "Shark Beach" actually omitted this step. China Film earned tens of millions, and it was not too difficult to ask major theaters to arrange a certain schedule for a movie.

This is the strength of big companies!
But that is also in the National Day file. Even if 28% of the films scheduled on the first day are not given to China Film, they will not get much box office, so they should be sold.

Coming out of the base, there were no crowds of reporters guarding outside, so it was less troublesome.

Some time ago, Tang An was unbearably disturbed. For the first two days, he thought about frying for a while, but he got annoyed later.

The angles of those reporters' questions became more and more tricky, not only Xu Ke, but also Jay Chou, Liu Wei, and Mai Zhaohui were pulled out.

Now the debate on the Internet is becoming more and more intense, and everyone has supporters.

However, it was just a debate between movie fans and fans. The parties did not make any radical remarks, but only fueled the flames behind the scenes.

Everyone has a tacit understanding, and they all have a common goal, which is exposure, to attract more audience attention, and there is no benefit in going off in person.

Now that the reporters don't come to block Tang An, they don't need it. They don't need Tang An to say anything, as long as they have a keyboard.

All with one hand!

When I came to Zhongying, I informed the front desk, and the girl at the front desk brought Tang An to a large conference room.

"Han Dong!"

"President Wang! Brother Lin, hello everyone!"

China Film Xingmei Cinemas, Moying United Cinemas, New Film Federation, China Film South Shinkansen, Jiangsu-Zhejiang Times Cinemas, Liaoshen North Cinemas, Guangdong East Dadi Cinemas, and Western Sichuan Pacific Cinemas.

The eight cinema lines cover most of the provinces and cities in the country, and basically all of them are here.

"Director Tang is here!" Han Sanping nodded, looked at the theater representatives, and took them directly to the screening hall without any nonsense.

Handing the film to the projectionist, taking advantage of this time, we chatted briefly for a while.

"This is Mr. Zhao from Xingmei, Mr. Qian from United, Mr. Sun from New Film Federation, Mr. Li from Shinkansen, Mr. Zhou from Times, Mr. Wu from the North, Mr. Zheng from Dadi, and Mr. Wang from Pacific Ocean!"

Han Sanping introduced Tang An one by one.

"Director Tang, I won't introduce too much, everyone knows him too!"

"Director Tang met for the first time, and he is really as young as imagined!"

"Director Tang is young and promising, he made two feature-length films at the age of 25, that's amazing!"

"My kid is about to graduate from college. He is two or three years younger than Tang An. Now he knows how to play games all day long. It's really annoying!"

Even though they were well-informed and had seen a lot of geniuses and elites in the film and television industry, Tang An's age and experience also surprised them.

"I'm just more courageous and lucky, and I need to rely more on everyone's help!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the movie began to be screened immediately.

Whether it was Tang An, Han Sanping, or the representative of the theater who came with a purpose, they all sat quietly in their seats at this time, waiting for the movie to start.

"I don't know if it will be scary, but I have prepared a quick-acting heart-relief pill!" Mr. Qian from the United Cinemas made a joke.

"Ha ha!"

"Mr. Qian will wait and see. I can only say that there are no bloody scenes!" Tang An laughed.

Remembering that "Shark Shore" also relied on thrilling and exciting plots to win, everyone relaxed.

At the beginning of the movie, when the theme song came to mind, Xu Jinglei hugged a little boy and cried while comforting him.

Something seemed to have happened and the little boy looked terrified.

The camera flashed by, Xu Jinglei changed her attire, and while urging her son, she came to the yard to collect clothes, and picked up her son's toys and the overturned sailboat in the pool.

The camera turned again, and through the gap in the curtain, the little boy was drawing.

Xu Jinglei squatted on the ground to wipe off the paint that the little boy knocked over, when there was a knock on the door.

When I went out, I found no one!
The camera turned again, and Xu Jinglei was packing her clothes, but at this time, no one noticed that her clothes were back to when she first appeared on the stage, a white T-shirt with suspenders.

The camera turned again, and Xu Jinglei in a white suspender T-shirt was still cleaning the floor, while the little boy was crying there.

Just like the beginning, Xu Jinglei hugged the little boy and comforted him there.

Sensitive people have already noticed that something is wrong.

However, everyone suppressed their doubts and continued to watch the movie.

Afterwards, Xu Jinglei came to the seaside and went out to sea with a few friends. When they encountered a storm, they boarded an unmanned cruise ship.

A masked man suddenly appeared on the cruise ship and attacked them. In the final fight, Xu Jinglei knocked the masked man into the sea.

Is this the end?

Their doubts didn't last long, but the next scene made everyone tense up.

Another boat boarded the cruise ship, and the scene was exactly the same as before!
Only then did everyone realize the true excitement of the movie, and everyone stared at the big screen intently.

In the end, Xu Jinglei turned into a masked person, just like the opening 36 minutes, he was knocked into the sea by "herself".

When Xu Jinglei returned home, killed herself at home, and was hit by a large truck on the way to the beach, mother and child were killed, but Xu Jinglei suddenly appeared not far from the accident, as if no one could see her she!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, and got goosebumps all over their bodies.

In the end, Xu Jinglei got into a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to the beach again!
The movie is over!
