Chapter 864 Amendment Opinion (Two in One)

Gan Jing likes Zhou Xingxing's movies very much. He has watched Xingxing's movies over and over again before his debut. Now, the idea of ​​cooperating with him can't be stopped as soon as he thinks about it.

Zhou Xingxing has now shifted from being in front of the stage to behind the scenes. His latest related work is "The Mermaid", which was released in February this year. In this movie, he is the director, screenwriter, and producer. It can be said that he is behind the scenes.

"Mermaid" won a record box office of 33.92 billion.

Obviously, Zhou Xingxing's transformation behind the scenes was very successful.

After all, this man is 54 years old now, and his hair is already graying.

Gan Jing understands the transformation he has made at this stage, but no matter from the perspective of an audience or an actor, the regret of not being able to see or cooperate is always inevitable.

So, how about inviting him to join the "The Great Sage", which is expected to be produced by the company in the second half of the year with Monkey King as the main character?
Well, I can withdraw from the role of the protagonist and still be a producer to give up my position.

The budget of this film will not be low, and the special effects production also has the full cooperation of Huaxia Special Effects, and the quality in this aspect is already guaranteed.

Thoughts in Gan Jing's mind turned and turned. After chatting with Zhou Shen, the director of "The Great Sage", he forcibly suppressed the urge to look for Xing Ye, and put himself in touch with others. When he accepted a film appointment, he first focused on the script story. The script of "The Great Sage" is still in the rough stage, Master Xing who has already turned behind the scenes will not accept such a script.

In the next two phone calls, Gan Jing communicated with Zhou Shen again. To invite Master Xing, he must lobby. As a director, Zhou Shen also needs to play a role.

He put this matter in his heart for the time being, and paid attention to Wang Chuanjun's performance in the crew, and unexpectedly thought it was good.

In "Scorching Sun", the filming of Zhou Dongyu's scenes has already been finished, and there are only one or two key shots left for the scenes of myself and Deng Chao. Corner scenes.

Originally, the crew wanted to focus on filming Wang Chuanjun's content first so that he could continue to take other film appointments, but this one said that he was not in a hurry, and he seemed to be very happy to hang out with the crew all day long, so Cao Baoping went along with it. It is natural to want him to feel more about the shooting atmosphere, to find out the feeling of the character.

This may be useful, but once Wang Chuanjun is on camera, the kind of character in it is quite outstanding.

Gan Jing was thinking about filming his own before finishing his shots. This movie is actually about the same, and it is estimated that it will be completed in early July—this time is nearly a month later than expected, but this time There is no other way. Once filming starts, it is difficult to accurately predict the end. Especially in the pursuit of quality, the state of the actors must be found.

After a few days of calm, a project that had lasted for a long time came into Gan Jing's eyes.

Yang Aiyan, an intern director of Peking Opera documentary film Hundred Days Red, came to Hengdian and handed in his roughly edited work.

"You actually cut it out by yourself?" Gan Jing was very surprised by Yang Aiyan's appearance, and first criticized his approach, "You should discuss it with the company, I understand that this is your first work, I definitely want to do it myself, but if there is no company, will you have such an opportunity? You can’t even hold a video camera.”

Standing in front of A-Gump, Yang Aiyan was like an elementary school student who made a mistake standing in front of the class teacher, he was really a little scared in his heart.

"The company won't deprive you of anything. The reason why you have to discuss with the company is to improve the quality of your work. No matter who it is, they are your seniors, and they will put forward favorable opinions for your development. Could it be that, In your eyes, do Hundred Days Red people are very narrow-minded?" Gan Jing criticized a little harder.

Yang Aiyan felt a little ashamed, but he didn't explain, just bowed his head.

Gan Jing looked a little funny looking at him like this, shook his head, and patted the sofa next to him: "Sit down, I want to see what you cut out yourself."

The Peking Opera documentary project has been going on for more than a year. Yang Aiyan has spent much more time in the Tan Family Peking Opera Club than in the Hundred Days Red Company. Now he can even occasionally sing a few lines on stage.

As a result, there are a lot of lens materials to shoot.

Gan Jing clicked on the play, and was a little curious about the perspective and thinking of such a wild director and newcomer audience on Peking Opera.

Ok……

It was quiet all the way until the end.

"The first point, what the hell are you cutting out for more than three hours?" Gan Jing took a deep breath and swears. The original cut is [-] minutes long!
Yang Aiyan smiled embarrassedly: "I think this is pretty good..."

Without waiting for A-Gump to speak, he said again: "Didn't you finish watching?"

Gan Jing: "..."

"What movie did you see in the cinema that lasted more than three hours?"

Yang Aiyan thought for a while, and said honestly: "It seems that there is no such thing. However, isn't this the first cut? The company will just cut out the final version."

"The first cut should also be cut according to the version that can be released. Most of the time, the version cut by the director will not change with only minor changes." Gan Jing frowned, "Besides, your edited images are too gorgeous. There are many good-looking picture compositions, but they are not beautiful when piled together.”

"The story line of the movie is not clear enough. Do you have any misunderstandings about the documentary?" Gan Jing's dissatisfaction was beyond words.

Yang Aiyan's face turned a little pale, he seemed to realize that he was no longer in the Tan family Peking Opera club, and what he was facing was not the group of Peking opera actors but the biggest boss of the company.

"I, uh, that, uh..." the trainee director couldn't choose what to say.

Gan Jing already took out his mobile phone, he ignored Yang Aiyan, and directly looked through the address book to find the number of his junior sister Tan Shan and called: "Junior sister, have you watched the movie Yang Aiyan cut?"

"Yang Aiyan is a film editor? Isn't he our Peking Opera apprentice?" Tan Shan was half complaining and half joking.

Gan Jing glanced at the intern director whose face turned pale from the corner of his eye, and said, "The Peking opera documentary has already been edited into a preliminary version, and a considerable part of the content is about you, so I want you to watch it and provide some advice."

"Okay. Brother, you are in Hengdian, right? Then I'll go over there. There are quite a few singers who want to hear your opinion." Tan Shan said bluntly.

Gan Jing smiled unconsciously: "Singing, um, wait, let me check the time."

After tens of seconds, Gan Jing's voice rang again on the phone: "In three days, I have something to go back to the capital, so you don't have to come here, let's meet and chat."

"No problem, welcome to the class leader." Tan Shan smiled crisply.

Gan Jing hung up the phone and said to Yang Aiyan: "Did you hear that? Don't leave these few days, just follow the crew. Just in time, Director Cao Baoping and I are discussing the editing idea of ​​"Scorching Sun". Listen carefully."

Yang Aiyan nodded, there was nothing wrong with it.

In the next three days, the trainee director probably heard the most high-level film editing discussion in his life so far.

"This scene of the death penalty must not be separated. You don't need to look at other people's expressions, just focus on Deng Chao's side. This is a very impactful scene."

"This small line can actually be used to reflect Yi Guchun's true nature as a criminal policeman. If there are many policemen, he is always willing to test it out, even with his own sister."

Yang Aiyan turned herself into a follower, listening and learning all the time, and also sincerely felt A-Gump's skill in film editing ideas.

Movie editing actually looks at the idea of ​​the whole movie, which is to comprehensively put together the story fragments and try to show the audience the best effect.

Three days later, at the end of June, Gan Jing flew back to the capital with Yang Aiyan. At his home, he not only listened to Tan Shan's opinion, but also listened to the opinion of director Zhou Shen, and at the same time, he also asked Vice President Liu Tao to come over.

"There are a lot of problems in the first cut, but one thing I think is not bad, that is, Yang Aiyan's selection of junior sisters as the entry point of the Peking Opera documentary. The format of the documentary is fine, but both the audience and the judges are subconscious about beautiful girls. Add some kindness to it."

"I don't think there's enough excavation of this kind of affection in the film."

After letting them discuss for a while, Gan Jing stated his opinion: "The documentary is to show the charm of Peking Opera, but the whole story is stage performances, and the perspective of group portraits is definitely not moving enough. It is no problem if it comes from an individual. The problem is that , the intersection of the individual and the Peking Opera as a whole. Let me talk about the idea of ​​revision, Yang Aiyan, think about it."

"You can add the trivial daily life of the younger sister in the audience. Peking opera documentaries don't have to be all Peking opera. As a Peking opera girl, her words and deeds can be regarded as part of the documentary. First, it is people, and second, it is Peking opera. Singing Peking opera People are human too.” Gan Jing laughed, and saw that other people were thinking seriously without laughing, so he continued, “Under the stage, Junior Sister is a normal girl, she will have the trouble of learning Peking Opera, and she will She is at a loss for the future of Peking Opera, but once on stage, she is the goddess of Peking Opera in full bloom."

"Understood?" Gan Jing waved his hand in the air, "There must be a contrast, the strongest contrast. Documentaries don't have to be mediocre, but they can also be very explosive in contrast. Individual trivialities in Peking Opera can be regarded as contemporary It is the epitome of the situation in the era, and the performance of Peking Opera as a whole shows its artistic charm."

"In addition, Yang Aiyan, I think you put the content of the live broadcast of the younger sister at the beginning, and this part should be placed later. It is a way to explore the development and profit of Peking Opera, and it is under the current situation of individual confusion in Peking Opera. Whether you recognize it or not, it is an attempt. If you don’t try, you will never improve, and you will only die slowly. Similarly, putting Jin Yong’s martial arts clips on the stage is also an attempt, and try to put them in the back In the space."

After talking eloquently a lot, Yang Aiyan was dumbfounded by Gan Jing's words.

Seeing that A-Gump seemed to have finished speaking, the trainee director asked weakly: "It sounds like the content of the three hours I edited doesn't seem to fit well..."

Gan Jing met Yang Aiyan's gaze and nodded: "Then delete them all and re-cut them."

"Heavy, heavy, cut again?" Yang Aiyan was stunned.

Gan Jing spread his hands: "Otherwise? You said it yourself just now, it doesn't fit."

"I, I..." Yang Aiyan felt a little distressed, the content of these three hours was cut from more than one year's material, it was like his own child...

"I heard it these days. Do you have any questions?" Gan Jing watched quietly.

Yang Aiyan took a breath: "No problem."

"That's good. Work overtime and stay up late, I will see the second version within a week." Gan Jing said simply.

Yang Aiyan didn't want to talk anymore, he could only nod his head a little stiffly.

Arriving here, Gan Jing finally finished dealing with this issue for the time being. He looked at his junior sister and said, "Junior sister, this documentary is still several months away until October, and there is enough time to cut it out and release it. By then , there will be a screening in China and the United States, and the documentary in the United States will hit the Oscars."

Tan Shan had heard about this idea a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to be implemented like this, and it sounded like it was in front of her eyes: "It's like you took the documentary "Padana" this year?"

Gan Jing nodded: "Yes. That's for the cooperation with Paramount, and the Beijing opera documentary is to borrow the fame of the Oscars. People in China recognize this."

Tan Shan's complexion is a bit weird, using Oscar to promote the quintessence of Chinese culture, um... quite ingenious.

"Are you sure?" the girl asked again.

Gan Jing thought for a while: "It shouldn't be a problem to be shortlisted. Just being shortlisted can attract a lot of attention. Take your time, and you don't have to force the final result."

Tan Shan nodded vigorously. If she is shortlisted for an Oscar, she will benefit the most. In this documentary, she takes up a lot of space.

"Liu Tao, please follow up on the Beijing opera documentary. In addition, I need you to communicate with the media." Gan Jing first handed over the task, and then said slowly, "The main thing is to release the matter that I want to make a theme park. .”

Liu Tao was a little helpless, and asked, "Film and TV theme park? Here, where?"

"It's just that all the belongings are going to be used to build a theme park, which will be compared to Disneyland." Gan Jing replied calmly.

"Boss, are you really going to do it?" Liu Tao confirmed.

"It's quite real at this stage." Gan Jing replied.

"Okay." Liu Tao replied in a slightly tragic tone. He really didn't think such a project was good. It was a waste of money and time-consuming. It would be better to play real estate with this money.

"Come, come, let's get down to business. Let's go to the bar and relax." Gan Jing greeted him, planning to wait a few days to see the effect. Last time Ah Wen reported that the investigation team was not taken seriously. Now that there is news, it should be will be different.

After two days, Liu Tao's work quickly showed results.

—— "Forrest Gump Wants to Build a Disneyland"

—— "From Actor to Singer, Forrest Gump Sets His Target in the Amusement Park"

——"Another Wanda Encircling Disney"
