Chapter 51 Editing old movies, struggling.

The Douban score is 6.5, which is not really a good movie, but it is already watchable.

But this year, Douban movies are far from the scale and huge audience (zhuangbi) movie (b) of ten years later.

The scores on Douban, sometimes, a fart by a foreigner may be delicious, and a feast by a Chinese is a pile of shit.

But in any case, this score can still reflect many things.

Douban scored 6.5, Time 6.5, this level, for a film that has been badly shot and re-edited, it is already commendable.

In many cases, it's not that a director can't make a good film or edit a good film, it's just that he is constrained too much.

The current Chen Xi, on his one-acre three-point land, can naturally do his own thing without any scruples.

Judging from his now fused perspective, the film in front of him has too many problems.

The editing is choppy and there are too many gimmicks.

Especially for showing off skills, now Chen Xi looks a little ridiculous.

It's like a primary school student memorizing a few good sentences for a good composition by rote, and then when writing a composition, he must find an opportunity to write these few sentences.

There are also some problems in photography, after all, Ye Dongnan has no experience before...

Anyway, there are really too many problems with this film, and I can't finish picking them.

But the film also has some bright spots, judging from the soul that Chen Xi has fused in, there are quite a few bright spots.

He did a good job with the structure of this film, and in some places it did make the narrative more fascinating, and in many places the layout has his own little thought.

However, the advantages and disadvantages are relatively small.

Chen Xi, in fact, objectively analyzed from Chen Xi's point of view, this person's strength is indeed quite strong, and he also experienced the complete collapse of the Chinese film market in the 90s, the destruction of the film market by the strong theme of the film, and the experience of thousands of years. The craze for Chinese Kung Fu movies driven by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after the jubilee year, and the exploration of commercialization of Chinese movies after the reform of the theater system in mainland China...

Although he has never been able to come to the front of the stage, the more reason for this is his own obsession with the market.

Chen Xi does have a cleanliness about the market. If a film project he comes to direct violates the film principles in his heart, he would rather let it go.This kind of cleanliness is really weird, because if he is not a director himself, he will do a lot of disgusting things, such as talking about earning investors' production fees, such as deceiving marketing and so on. Although he is a bit repulsive, he gradually gets used to it up...

But she just can't accept that as a director, there are some things in her own movies that don't belong to her.

In this way, he can only accept the fact that he cannot become a real director.

In fact, if he were to direct a film, he would have abundant experience and theory. Many times, some films were made by him, but he was not the director.

Such a Chen Xi, the legacy he brought to Chen Xi is really too rich.

These extremely transparent understandings of movies make people suddenly realize that they have a nuanced understanding of many things.

For example, for this "When Love Parts", he now has a lot of ideas in his head.

"Unfortunately, the time is too short."

Chen Xi felt a little regretful.

If he could be given two weeks to edit "When Love Parts", he would indeed be able to achieve a score of 6.5 or higher on Douban.

But now he only has three days...

Even if it is sleepless, this time is not too long.

"Let's do it now!"

Thinking about the bright future, thinking that I can really master the direction of directing, and more importantly, I can even take over the mantle of the fifth generation of directors and continue to enter the global market... Chen Xi couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart , Facing this boring and energy-consuming editing work, he didn't reject it, but wanted to devote himself to it.

"This paragraph, this empty shot is really redundant. It seems to express feelings, but it is actually messy."

"This long shot... oh, I took a few more shots at the time, and it just happens to come in handy now."

"There are too many foreshadowings in this paragraph. In fact, it has become a car wheel, so it has to be reduced."

"The montage of this shot is too redundant..."

Chen Xi began to slow down shot by shot, and then saw many similar shots from his old film, and then outlined his editing goals and editing methods.

By the time Chen Xi finished these, more than five hours had passed.

His eyes felt like they were about to burst.

After closing her eyes and letting her eyeballs rotate a few times, Chen Xi came out of the editing studio hungry and saw that the old donkey was there.

Seeing Chen Xi's appearance, the old donkey said, "Pay attention to your body, you have to work hard, but don't work hard."

"Opportunities are fleeting, so we have to fight hard." Chen Xi said to him with a smile: "Go, let's go to dinner, I treat you."

"Mr. Chen treats guests, you won't save face if you don't go..."

"Farewell if you say that, I'm the most afraid of other people's face."

"Haha, let's go."

"Is there anything delicious nearby?"

"There is a beef gluten dry pot here. It's delicious. Let's go."

"Eat hot pot on a hot day?"

"There is air conditioning."

...While waiting for the food to be served, Chen Xi asked, "How's the profit recently?"

"It's so-so, but maybe I'm about to change my career. If there is a chance, can I keep my buddies?"

"What's going on? Wasn't it pretty good before?"

"Now a lot of photography is gradually turning into digital photography, and the era of film seems to be over, and ours is becoming more and more difficult to mix."

"I don't think so. In many years, digital photography will not be able to replace film photography. It is difficult to restore the texture of film photography with digital photography." Chen Xi said after taking a sip of tea.

The old donkey looked at him with a smile: "If you had to choose to make a movie now, would you use digital photography or film?"

Chen Xile said, "Look at the cost, use whatever is cheap."

"Look, I thought you were a sentimental person..."

"Actually, it's not. The main thing is to analyze specific issues and see which film is more suitable for shooting."

... The two of them ate hot pot and drank too much.

"Come on, Mr. Chen, sing a song for the uncle." The old donkey said to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took the cup and became a little excited for a while. She changed her tone and posture, and sang a few words: "You and I are boundless in love as husband and wife. Why should Princess Xian be too courteous? Yang Yanhui will frown one day... ..." But it is "Sitting in the Palace" in "Si Lang Visits His Mother".
