Chapter 52 Paranoia

On the second day, Chen Xi officially entered the practical stage from the theoretical stage.

All his thoughts on the editing of "Love is Parting" have been written down in the notebook.

any detail...

So now he is not afraid of forgetting, and directly starts editing the film in order.

Chen Xi's scissors are now fast, steady, accurate and ruthless.

Many times, when faced with a bunch of works, a director is always at a loss, or even unwilling to start.

Because, every film is condensed with the hard work of the director.

Each frame of film condenses the story of a crew.

Therefore, when the director wants to cut some shots, he always feels that he can’t bear to part with it at all... he also doesn’t want to part with this shot, and he also doesn’t want to part with that shot... he comes and goes again and again, and he is often affected by this mentality.

But Chen Xi got that soul fusion, and by the way, he fused a lot of concepts.

So there is a reason, and he understands it more clearly: only by cutting out some bad shots can he be more worthy of this kind of hard work and labor.

Because it's all about making the movie better.

Chen Xi then put his whole being into it, but he kept in touch with the outside world, at least he needed to keep in touch with the TV station.

Han Mei sent him an internal message that day: His movie is very important for the upper management to make decisions.

Han Mei has a bit of a background, but her background is actually not as strong as Wang Weitao, and even if she is Wang Weitao, it is difficult for her to do things that exert a decisive influence on the upper echelon at a critical moment.

Therefore, Han Mei's main purpose now is to provide Chen Xi with some information.

For this point, Chen Xi is also quite clear, so now he spares no effort in the editing of "Love is Parting".

For any shot, he has to figure it out and then edit it.

Chen Xi has to grasp every detail many times.

He has completely fallen into the time of day and night. During the day, even if the old donkey doesn't come to call him, he is unwilling to go out to eat.

Faced with such an almost crazy Chen Xi, the old donkey really had a kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, he felt that if Chen Xi had the drive, no matter what he did, not to mention success, at least he would definitely achieve certain results.

In the eyes of the old donkey, Chen Xi and Ye Dongnan had good talent and talent, but they were too flamboyant to do something in a down-to-earth manner, but now Chen Xi already has that kind of talent. A desperate drive.

Many years later, a movie "Burst Drummer" seemed to be praised and criticized in people's eyes, but it did arouse a lot of resonance.

Many times, success really requires some paranoia.

When you don't have absolute talent, you need to use your best...

Just like basketball is to Kobe...

Now Chen Xi does have a key to open a whole new world, so now he is trying to make the door that this key can open, and really open the keyhole to himself.

"Grass! Grass! Grass!"

When a shot was edited, Chen Xi suddenly realized that it didn't match up with the previous ones. All of a sudden, a lot of emotions accumulated because the editing was too boring exploded. He wanted to hit the ground, but reason stopped him.

So he changed the angle and wanted to kick the miniature projector with his feet, but he stopped himself again...

So, he scanned the room, but he didn't see anything that he could smash to vent his anger. Suddenly, he seemed like a deflated ball.

"damn it!"

After Chen Xi cursed weakly, he laughed himself, looking at the film and projector in front of him, his eyes were filled with gentleness for a moment.

"Oh, how could I be willing to break these things."

Chen Xi sat down again, edited the part that he thought was bad just a few times, and carefully looked for the reason in the middle. After more than ten minutes, he finalized another editing plan.

He is now purely editing "When Love Says Goodbye", and can only use previous materials. There is no condition for reshoots, and no time for reshoots.

This limits many conditions for his editing. Sometimes he feels that he obviously needs a certain way of expression, but unfortunately, although he has ideas, he can't do it at all.

However, even so, Chen Xi was enough to cut a decent film.

Of course, when editing, he also has to think about the ideas of the upper-level leaders, and edit according to how they think they can agree with him, instead of just going in the direction of the cut.

Because the re-cutting of this film is not really going to be screened or awarded, but to use this film as a stepping stone so that I can start filming a TV series.

...Three days passed.

Chen Xi rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and walked out, her hair was messed up, and she looked extremely depressed.

"you this……"

Seeing Chen Xi's appearance, the old donkey shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

"How are you doing?"

"Well, that's fine! If you have time, please take a look for me." Chen Xi said, "I've re-cut it!"

"Well, I'm also very curious about what kind of results you've achieved without sleep and rest for days and nights." The old donkey said as he opened the door and went inside, while Chen Xi fell asleep on the table.

The old donkey watched this film a long time ago, when "Love is Parting" had just finished filming.

At that time, he felt that, based on Chen Xi's experience, it was quite good to be able to make such a film, but from a purely cinematic point of view, this film was actually nothing, and it was a bit bad...

Now that Chen Xi has been sleepless for three days, she won't cut out a worse version, will she?The old donkey thought maliciously in his heart.

After all, although he also felt that Chen Xi had an inexplicable but very strong toughness, but there were some things that couldn't be made up for with toughness.

At least in the short term, it is impossible for Chen Xi to improve too much...

What's more, all the shots of "Love is Parting" have been filmed, so the frame has also been fixed, and now it can only be edited, can it really be cut out?
So if Lao Lu has special confidence in the "director's cut" of this film, it is really impossible... His mentality is more of curiosity.

Curious what this film will look like after editing, will it make it worse?Even if it gets better, how small is the improvement?
