Chapter 86 October
The young lady only had a few days off and turned off all social engagements and work, and came here to accompany Xiaobai.
She has done her best!
However, for Xiaobai, his girlfriend should be with him more often. The two are so far apart, even if they fall in love, it is difficult to really go on...
...
"Ride the Wind and Waves" will start filming in August, and will be completed in October, and will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The middle time is 5 months!
Unlike the Han Shao in the original time and space, he is really awesome. He starts the filming in 44 days and can be released in one month after the filming. The quality of the films is not bad!
Generally speaking, the later period takes at least two to three months, which is the most normal film industry process.
In fact, there were also many rough works in Hong Kong manufacturing at its peak.
It is not uncommon for a movie to be released from three months from its start to its release.
In 1992, seven movies starring Stephen Chow were released, which means he had to finish a movie in less than two months.
In 1993, Liu Zhenwei finished filming "Everything is the best" in just 27 days.
This does not prevent these movies from becoming New Year's classics that are revisited every year.
Xiaobai reserved a month of late time, but in fact he didn't use that much at all. The day after the filming of the whole group was announced, the edited version was already out, 116 minutes, of course, there was still a little difference compared to the final film, but it was already very close!
Which movie hasn't been edited live now?
In the usual sense, live editing will use the monitor signal recorded by the video recorder as the material to cut. There are two unavoidable tasks in this process. One is the work of copying the video material of the recorder to the editing system, and the other is the work of covering the video material of the recorder and the real camera material.
Xiaobai directly used an awesome and high-energy system called QTAKE, and there was a team that specifically operated it. It did not record the monitor signal, but the signal directly from the camera. Moreover, it not only could read the camera's file name, but also automatically synchronize the camera's power-off signal and time code to record. This means that the editing software can automatically cover the material through the editing software, saving the time and workload of the bottom.
There are also many editors who edit at night. Since Xiaobai can afford to rent QTAKE, he naturally doesn’t mind spending more money to rent two editing teams!
"Ride the Wind and Waves" live editing uses a gigabit network cable to directly access QTAKE's hard drive, and cut it on someone's hard drive, saving even a small amount of copying materials.
Therefore, the live editing of other movies was cut on the spot during the day and went back to the hotel to get the bottom of the bottom. The editor of "Riding the Wind and Waves" discussed the cutting with the director on the spot during the day. When he went back to the hotel at night, he was stared at by several assistant directors... So basically, after filming a scene, he finished roughly cutting a scene.
QTAKE, on-site digital image processing, Made In USA!
Instant recording and playback, powerful clip database, real-time image processing, synthesis, intuitive editing, support for multiple cameras, stereo vision, camera metadata, and even import 3D scenes. QTAKE will render it in real time!
It's paralyzed, Xiaobai was almost shocked when he saw this thing for the first time. To be honest, the development of technology is indeed a bit shocking...
Well, just one, the rent a day is as high as 50,000!
The rent alone cost nearly three million...
Buy one?
Stop being funny, it’s eight million US dollars, not discounted yet!
Can you afford it?
There is no way, if you want to save working hours, you can only spend more money on the equipment!
So, except for the nearly 20 million actor pay, the remaining money really hits the movie!
As for the special effects, they have been pre-installed long ago.
Speaking of special effects, Chinese films are actually in an awkward growth stage, losing the texture of handicrafts, and not yet setting up a benchmark style for industrial products.
Yes, we have money, and as long as we have enough budget, it is not difficult to find special effects companies such as Pixomondo, Industrial Light and Magic, and Vita for global collaboration.
But the question is, since the industry's technology is improving significantly, why do we still think that the overall movie is not as good as before?
A very simple reason: In the past, when we didn’t have many convenient means, we each had our own ways to present the desired effect.
Now that all kinds of methods are becoming more and more convenient, these methods can be used at the same time, which will lead to a very popular style or some special effects design styles, and the movie will become a bit similar.
...
As October approaches, the National Day holiday is about to start.
Operation Mekong, "Passing Through Your World", and "Ace Funny" set sail strongly!
Various media have predicted that "Passing Through Your World" and "Ace Teasing Ace" have the most hope to take the lead.
A bunch of experts said: "The Passing Through Your World, the comedy "Ace Funny" is more suitable for the "Eleventh" viewing atmosphere in terms of genre. Operation Mekong is a type of gunfighter gangster film. Lin Chaoxian's films are of good quality, but the subject matter is relatively serious, so it is difficult to make a difference at the box office."
"In general, "Passing Through Your World" is more entertaining, with certain original fans, and has a high degree of docking with young audiences. The conversion rate of the Internet audience is relatively high, so it will be more labor-saving. Wang Jing is best at "Ace Funny Ace", and Wang Jing is best at entertainment films, and 800 million should not be a problem! The theme of "Operation Mekong" is relatively limited in this period, and no matter how good it sells, it is the size of "Cold War 2" and "Line Walker".
Zhang Jiajia still has many fans. "Passing Through Your World" is on the shelves for 2 million copies in 6 months, breaking the sales record of the book industry in the past 10 years!
In addition, although director Zhang Yibai has a bad reputation in recent years, all the films he has made have been very popular, and with the blessing of Deng Chao, it is not surprising that he is optimistic about it!
Therefore, on the first day of release, the theater screening volume reached 43%!
How to say it, "Passing Through Your World" is definitely not a good movie, but it cannot be considered too bad. Anyway, if you watch a movie for a long time, you will find that you can't understand it. If you don't go in and watch it quickly, you will be a little confused. It must be that the script is not well written!
The original work itself is a variety of chicken soup, so there is no problem with shooting like this.
"Passing Through Your World" can barely score 6 points. There are basically all the elements of a commercial entertainment film, and raising money is considered to be in line with the Basic Law. Of course, there is nothing particularly outstanding at all...
The box office on the premiere was 72.44 million, and the reputation was relatively stable after its release. The Douban score has always remained at 5.6 points. The box office change curve is also very stable and slowly decreasing. It dropped to 40.6454 million on October 7th...
"Ace Taunts" In fact, since the "Macau Storm" series, the works directed by Wang Jing have been labeled as bad movies. However, our Director Wang still does his own way. In his words, he is not afraid of bad reviews, but he is afraid of no comments.
Commercial elements include eye-catching big-name stars, hot beauties, modern technology gimmicks, exotic exteriors, and funny elements. Combine these together, combine them with a reasonable story, control the plot rhythm, and ensure the climax and emotional direction. Basically, a commercial blockbuster is completed if it is qualified.
Such movies have always been Wang Jing’s best!
I don’t know if the “Macau Storm” series gave him confidence, and I think it’s enough to just fool the whole story!
The whole plot of "Ace Funny" goes from beginning to end, which is a joke.
And it's an embarrassing joke!
As for inviting Liu Tianwang, it is probably last year's "Hong Kong Empress" that gave him hope.
Last year, "Save Mr. Wu", which was well-produced and well-known, performed lower than expected in the box office during the National Day holiday, while the comedy film "Hong Kong Hunt" of the same period was a huge hit. This greatly stimulated Liu Tianwang, and coupled with the success of the Macau series in the box office, he may feel that he needs to bet on a comedy film that he is not very good at.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong choice...
What Wang Jing even more unexpected is that few people discussed "Ace Funny" and directly ignored the movie...
Chapter completed!
