Ling Aotian became famous in Xiangjiang because of his scandal with Zhong Jinhong. And 'Nightclub' had also wrapped up filming amid the scandal.
Ling Aotian was now very popular in Xiangjiang. The box office sales of the movie " Fast Food Vehicle " were sold well, and he had a new sharing model. He also bought Shao's cinema from Shao Yifu.
Nightclub was successfully completed and entered post-production. The popularity of Ling Aotian in Xiangjiang gradually died down. After all, any news that was copied for a long time would lose its novelty and value.
The next day, Ling Aotian still woke up early. He was busy for his first movie, and he was willing to work hard.
A movie montage was a series of clashing actions, not only between the cameras, but also within the camera.”This sentence was proposed by Esenstein in the former Soviet Union in The Form of Film. The greatness of this sentence was that it clearly pointed out two important tasks for a good martial arts director: What kind of movements and how to perform them.
" What kind of action to design " was to design the corresponding martial arts action according to the script, the background of the story, and the character's personality." What kind of action to design " was mainly about the post-production and editing of the martial arts action.
"Fatty, how's the search for the editor going?”Ling Aotian saw Wang Jing's drunken look and was still embarrassed to ask.
"I've already found one. You brat, you're too mean. You slipped away yesterday and left me a bottle of wine.”Wang Jing complained when she saw Ling Aotian, as if she had been wronged.
"Old man, please bear with me a little more. You're still old and strong!”When Ling Aotian heard that the editor had been found, he flattered Wang Jin out of guilt.
"You, you're just a sly one." Two days walked into the office while talking and laughing.
"Aotian, this is the editor. He has been in charge of editing work for many companies. I hope you can work together happily.”Wang Jin introduced the editor to Ling Aotian.
"You're older than me, so I'll call you Brother Peng.”Ling Aotian said as he held Long Aotian's hand. After the training in his previous life, Long Aotian could be said to be flawless in receiving people and treating things.
"Boss Ling, you're really young and promising. You bought Shao's Theater at such an old age.”** They complimented Ling Aotian and their relationship was really harmonious.
After a simple greeting, Ling Aotian and Wang Jin went to the editor while Wang Jin went to work on his movie. Ling Aotian's movie had already finished filming, so they just needed to wait for it to be released. After that, Wang Jin's movie would be released.
The editing process involved selecting, choosing, and assembling a large amount of material from a film to form a coherent, smooth, and artistic work with clear meaning. It was a major component of film artistic creation, an indispensable process in film production, and a re-creation of a film from shooting to completion.
At this time, the film editing work was done by professional editors operating simple machines. It was far from the computer's "non-linear" editing (digital editing) that Ling Aotian was familiar with in his previous life, so editing was a heavy and meticulous job.
The editor looked at the pitiful amount of film Ling Aotian was holding. He really did not know if it was right or wrong to take this job, but he still asked politely," Is that all?”
After all, editing was a tedious and meticulous job. A story film usually had a few hundred or a thousand shots. Looking at the pitiful amount of film in Ling Aotian's hands, he could not believe that this was a film, so he asked.
Ling Aotian nodded and said," Yes, there's only this much film. This is all the film for this movie."”
The director smiled bitterly and took the film. He was quite confused about Ling Aotian's position as a director. Did this kid even know how to make a movie? Because of performance or technical reasons, important scenes often had to be filmed several times. When editing was needed, he had to make a choice. Most of the shots were long, and they had to find the most ideal editing point. Some of the scenes that needed to be shot in long and short shots were shot on several strips of film in a row. They needed to be cut into many shots during editing and then arranged according to the most effective shot order.
He was in a lot of pain now. He knew that this would be the result, but he didn't edit the movie no matter what. He could imagine that the release of this movie must be a failure in this industry. Just thinking about it made him shiver.
And this kid had only taken so little film, so he couldn't help but look down on Ling Aotian, who didn't regard directing as his profession. If the editing effect wasn't ideal, it would cause the retake of the film to be delayed and it would be a big deal! For this reason, many directors would bring a large amount of film when they came to edit, in order to filter out the satisfactory effects. However, the film that Ling Aotian brought was about half of that of other directors, so the police thought that this was a joke. Deep down, they thought that Ling Aotian was an amateur.
** turned on the editing machine and complained in his heart,"I really have so much money to burn. Why is there such an outsider who doesn't know the rules here to film a movie? Damn it, it seems that my workload today will be more than ten times that of usual!”
According to the usual practice of editing, the first task was to process the material, which was to connect the shots according to the logo of the film scene, the character's body movements, dialogue, reaction, etc. This was a preliminary processing process, and it was often the most complicated and most troublesome project. God knew if this layman would mess it up!
Ling Aotian had high hopes for this movie. The editing had to be done on site. Only then could he follow his own train of thought and complete the film.
In a movie, the director was the person who had the most control over the entire movie. No one could understand the appeal of a movie better than the director. Therefore, even if it was a bad director, the editor should follow his requirements and the director's understanding of the movie to complete the editing. Otherwise, no matter how good the editing was, if it was completely incompatible with the director, the edited movie would still be a bad movie.
Ling Aotian looked at the woman's expression, which was getting worse and worse as he answered. He knew why this was the case. Being an editor was a very complicated job. They had to face thousands of shots, so it was only natural that they needed a lot of film.
Ling Aotian didn't care how bad his expression was, but he still told him about his movie, hoping that the movie wouldn't deviate from his ideals.
When the director started working, his thoughts immediately changed 180 degrees. Because most of the film was a combination of short shots, the scenes shot were surprisingly smooth. It was simply a work of art in one go. Whether it was the movements of the characters or the connection between the front and back, it seemed to have been repeatedly deliberated and edited.
"How, how is this possible?" He felt a strong earthquake in his heart. He did not believe it and took out a few more sets of film to verify. The results were the same, all of which were short shots.
"Director Ling, are you sure you're not playing with me?”** He asked with a strange expression. He had never cut such a perfect movie before.
Ling Aotian rubbed his nose, not understanding what he meant.""Uh, what did you say just now? Is there something wrong with the film?"
"No, no, there's nothing wrong with the film. I just want to ask if these films have been cut and re-cut.”
"First cut? Re-cut? Of course not. I brought it here after the shoot.”Ling Aotian shrugged as if he was facing a very simple matter.
The editing could be divided into initial editing, re-editing, fine editing, and comprehensive editing. The first cut was usually based on the script, the character's body movements, dialogue, reaction, and so on to connect the shots. Re-cut was based on the initial cut to correct; Fine editing was more detailed and accurate, and the images were repeatedly scrutinized. After all the scenes in the film were completed and each scene was basically cut, the overall structure and rhythm of the film would be adjusted and added or deleted.
"How could the filming be so smooth? I've been working for so many years, but I've never seen a film with so little film, let alone a film with such smooth editing!"”
Ling Aotian looked at the confused woman and explained the theory behind his movie making." Oh, you're talking about this? This movie has already been reflected in my head. You can say that it has always been in my head. All I did was shoot it and make it into a movie. Of course, this was also due to the hard work of the actors.”
He looked at Long Aotian speechlessly, and the muscles on his face began to twitch. This guy in front of him was either crazy or a genius, or he was born to be able to do this.
"Then, then, I have nothing to do!”** Her face flushed red as she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Who said there isn't? As for some of the literary plays, dialogue, and other narrations, we still need help to do them well.”Ling Aotian looked at him and voiced his thoughts.
He realized that what he was doing now was really simple, so simple that it was boring. According to the script's order, he would link up the literary play and actions, and then re-edit them. He would perfect the character's dialogue and mouth shape, and then record the lines.
The filming was smooth, and the editing speed was almost godlike. A movie was completed in just an hour, which was unbelievable in the past.
