1604, late show stretched out
For college students studying other majors, as long as they can complete their credits during school or have too many make-up exams in a single academic year, they usually abide by school rules and regulations and are not punished. When they graduate from their senior year, they can get their graduation certificate and degree certificate smoothly.
However, for students in foreign language schools, at least for foreign students, if they want to get a degree certificate when they graduate, they must pass the junior college eight exam, the legendary China's highest English level test. If they fail the junior college eight exam, they can only get a graduation certificate when they graduate, but they cannot get a degree certificate.
For Wang Bo now, things like graduation certificates, degree certificates, etc. are basically insignificant and negligible. Even if he does not take any exams every year, his graduation certificate is probably indispensable, making him a glorious alumnus, hang his photos in the honor column and treasure them in the honor room for new students to visit, pay homage, and advertise during enrollment every year.
However, having said that, since he had been selling dog meat for four years after studying in college with the help of a sheep, Wang Bo still hopes that he will have an explanation for his parents, the same explanation for the school, and the same explanation for himself. In four years of college, more than a thousand days and nights, if he can't even get a degree certificate, it would be too inferior and embarrassing to tell him out in the future.
The national examination will be held in mid-April. Wang Bo plans to spend half a month to cram. His current English level, although he has been wasted for four years and has not even had two months of classes in total, he has the old money he has in his previous life. He usually watches English radio, English stations, English dramas, and American dramas, and listen, speak, read, write and translate. His basic English level is still at a relatively high level. What he lacks at present is nothing more than exam-taking skills.
As for exam-taking skills, as long as you do a few sets of previous real and mock questions, you can quickly improve them. It may be difficult to get 90 points. After half a month of attack, Wang Bo will probably have no problem taking the exam for 60 or 70 points.
Moreover, he just wanted to get a certificate. Having a sixty or seventy is enough, and it would be a waste if he had too many exams.
At 9 a.m. on April 15, 2005, Wang Bo and hundreds of candidates from the school took the 2005 junior college entrance examination together.
After the 8th National College Entrance Examination, Wang Bo did not go to Beijing to meet Ning Hao, who had been urging him to make a decision. Instead, he stayed in school for a while and took turns to accompany his girlfriends around him for two weeks. He only envyed the life of mandarin ducks and not the leisure time.
He stayed until May Day, fed every "resentful girl" around him, and found a sunny weekend, and ate the next door girl Zhang Jing who had been waiting for him for several years and had been "resentful" and made the other party happily turn from a girl to a woman. Only then did he feel satisfied and set off for the imperial capital with great physical and mental pleasure, and began to meet with Ning Hao to conduct post-production of the movie.
The later stages of the movie mainly involve editing, dubbing, soundtracking, subtitles, etc. The editing is divided into initial cutting and fine cutting. When Wang Bo arrived at the editing room rented by the crew of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, the editing work had been almost done by Ning Hao, and several versions were cut to let him know.
This saves Wang Bo's trouble.
In fact, he has never done how to produce the movie later. He is just a layman. If he hadn't watched "Crazy Stone" several times in his previous life, he wouldn't even know how to start.
Fortunately, he has watched it several times, and compared it with the shots and plots in his memory, he can point fingers in editing and soundtracks. Although Ning Hao is the original director of "Crazy Stone", making movies is not about parts, but artistic work. Just like painting and writing, even if he creates the same material, the things that come out every time cannot be the same. The three versions that Ning Hao has cut out now are different from the plot in Wang Bo's memory. Some have not, and some have disappeared now.
Perhaps Ning Hao’s version editing is better and more desirable, but because of preconceived reasons and because of the great success of the previous life, there was no way, and Wang Bo could only pick up the “scissors”, “KaKa”, and “KaKa”, and cuts that should be cut, without any mercy or ruthlessness.
This made Ning Hao somewhat sad. He felt that Wang Bo was trying to show the director's authority. He didn't think that a guy who had never even made an advertisement could be an editor.
However, when Wang Bo cut the east and the west, pieced together, and finally cut a version, Ning Hao, along with an assistant editor invited by the crew, all of them were lit up, surprised and happy:
This new version is so terrifying! The rhythm changes and plots start and end, not a minute or a second, from beginning to end, making people unable to take their eyes off!
"I'm convinced! Director Wang, Lao Ning, I'm really completely convinced! I finally believe in what genius is and what it means to be born to know! Fortunately, you have been born for decades late, otherwise, there is no meal for Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige now!" A few days later, after watching the ultimate version of Wang Bo's comprehensive version and edited it, Ning Hao was stunned for a long time, and finally had to admire him with conscience.
"Haha, Lao Ning, I love to hear about you! But it's too early to flatter you now. It's not too late to shoot it after it's released! "Wang Bo laughed at Ning Hao's flattery and patted the other party on the shoulder.
After the editing was completed, the next thing was dubbing, soundtracking, and subtitles. Wang Bo handed over the dubbing and subtitles to Ning Hao, who was responsible for the soundtrack. Ning Hao was eager to do so, thinking that as a music talent, his music was the only one. In addition to the funny script of "Crazy Stone", the soundtrack and the pronunciation in the soundtrack are also profound, and they completely set off the theme and add the finishing touch.
Dubbing (including the voiceover of Sichuan dialect version), soundtrack, subtitles... When all the post-production is completed, it is already the end of June.
Then, it is submitted for review. This is the most critical step in whether a movie can be released publicly, and it is regarded as a gateway by many directors, especially art film directors.
But Wang Bo was not worried about this at all. "Crazy Stone" is neither political nor pornographic, nor bloody and violent clips, and there is no reason to pass it.
After Ning Hao took the copy of the movie to the "Movie Review Committee" for trial, Wang Bo became the boss again and flew back to Shuangqing from the imperial capital with several female assistants.
The time for graduation has finally come.
It is also time to say goodbye to his alma mater, who has been in the past for eight years for two years and left him with countless beautiful memories and memories.
Chapter completed!
