Chapter 1331 Heart Like Still Water

On the day of resigning from the temple in a hurry, Song Ya fled New York again in a desperate situation.

This impromptu trip to Los Angeles did not tell anyone except Yeremov, and the two met in Burbank. Bowei Pictures, which holds the distribution rights, naturally has the final editing rights, but the editing room is in the headquarters building of Touchstone Films. With lingering fear, he followed Yeremov's buttocks and entered in a low-key manner.

Leng Shan had high hopes, so he naturally hired a big name in the industry. The editor was Chris Lebenson, an old friend of director Tony Scott. The two had worked together on Top Gun, Red Tide, Public Enemy, etc. Benson was nominated for an Oscar for Top Gun and Red Tide, but didn't win. He also edited blockbuster films such as Michael Bay's Armageddon and Tim Burton's Batman Returns.

Bo Wei and Touchstone Films had promised that the finished film could be delegated to the A+ film studio for free control, but when they heard that APLUS was coming, the heads of the two companies followed up the editing room with all their brains, and then what did these old white men say? Without saying anything, they sat quietly in the back row and looked at him with curious eyes.

"Uh, I'm just here to take a look."

Song Ya was stared at by them a little hairy, and took the initiative to explain the purpose of coming, "How is the cut?" He asked Chris Lebenson.

Chris Lebenson participated in the whole process during the rough editing stage. Of course he wanted to keep the original intention of the director’s old friend, but he was also curious about the legend of Song Ya’s cat-and-mouse game. At this point in time when Tom Hanks used almost the original lineup to star in the cat-and-mouse game sequel "The Art of Stealing", Song Ya's previous operations were unknowingly given a higher level of legend by the circle.

"Now our main job is to compress the director's rough cut of more than three hours to two and a half hours." He replied with a friendly attitude.

Of course, this does not affect his preparation to find an opportunity to sneak out and call Tony Scott later.

"Two and a half hours at most, otherwise filming would be a disaster." The executive vice president of Bowei Pictures emphasized.

"Okay then, go ahead."

This is understandable, Song Ya chose to observe first.

"OK."

Chris Lebenson continued to work, and he was cutting the battlefield scene before Song Ya and his party entered the door.

Song Ya closed her eyes from time to time to compare with the original film of Apocalypse while watching it. Surprisingly, the finished film seems to be better than the original. The war scenes are more grand and detailed, and the editing is more neat. "Maybe it's because Tony Scott is better at Do you want to make a war scene, or is this version we made more costly?" He muttered to himself.

Then... it's not easy to do, or is it that the director of the original film wanted to downplay the war scenes and focus more on the love between the hero and the woman? I no longer know.

He also quietly watched as Chris Lebenson and his assistants discussed and edited.

"The male lead, Caviezel, was well chosen." The executive vice president of Bowei Pictures also praised.

Indeed, Song Ya also felt that Caviezel played better than the original Jude Law, and he was also an American, so he was naturally better at playing the role of a Confederate soldier than Jude Law from England.

Not beautiful, but unkempt, wearing clothes that are almost rags and fleeing for his life is more touching, and he has lost weight much more than Jude Law in the original film. In the later stage, he is really skinny, just like the crucified Jesus.

It seems that there is really no need to wield the big scissors anymore? It just so happened that so many people looked at him and didn't want to make it so mysterious...

"APLUS."

At this time, an old friend, Linton, the president of Disney Copyright Company, pushed open the door, "Do you have time? Chat?"

"OK."

Song Ya didn't want to disturb Chris Lebenson's work, so he lowered his voice and agreed, "Why are you here?" He asked Linton after he went out.

"There is something to do."

Linton found an empty conference room, closed the door and lowered his voice, "You just came. To make a long story short, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures are undergoing an internal merger. There are still some leftover projects between Hollywood Pictures and your A+ movie studio in the early years. long-term revenue-sharing contracts,

Can Yeremov cooperate with us? Try not to delay the progress so that the two companies can successfully complete the merger within this year. "

"Cooperate? What do you mean?"

Song Ya couldn't digest this nonsense for a while.

"It's... cooperation. I just want to be on the safe side and confirm with you personally. I was just about to call you. I didn't expect you to come here. It's very simple. Don't let your A+ film studio and Hollywood Studios make a deal during this time." Just bring up any kind of lawsuit, like you and Fox Films."

Linton explained.

"That's impossible. Both of us had a good cooperation before, and I won't cheat my friends."

There is no lawsuit during the holidays, Linton's face is going to be sold, Song Ya pats her chest to assure her, it's just...

"Uh, why is it so good...Hollywood Pictures is merging with Touchstone? After all, a supernatural and sixth-sense little blog has exploded at the box office. And you've already left, why bother..."

As he was talking, he suddenly realized, "Oh!" Suddenly realized that he pointed to Linton and smiled badly.

"Disney does not need two live-action film companies. The business overlaps, and the merger can save costs. The Hollywood film industry is merged into the touchstone."

Linton first talked nonsense with deceiving outsiders, then he couldn't help but smiled a little embarrassedly, too lazy to tell lies in front of the real person, "It's so embarrassing, but they turned a profit in two years after I left. Why don't we just merge them before the financial report comes out."

"hey-hey."

Good guy, Linton has almost maxed out the senior manager's infighting skills. Before that, he made a film in Hollywood Films and lost one, and then ran away before the annual report came out, and instead got a promotion.

Now I didn't expect that the successor who took over the pot would rely on the supernatural sixth sense with a cost of 40 million, and the global box office is expected to exceed 600 million...

Although the film was co-produced with KM Films and other companies, and the proceeds need to be divided, in any case, Hollywood Pictures will turn around with this performance without any problem.

This is disastrous news for his personal future in office politics, so now he is planning to simply kill the Hollywood film company, and it will be done.

My former guide and mentor Daniel is far behind him in this aspect!

"How do you say? Are you okay?" Linton didn't know his inner drama, and confirmed again.

"No problem, how can there be a problem." In the final analysis, it is still relying on the favor of the Disney emperor. His successor, who has just led Hollywood Pictures out of the predicament, will definitely resist desperately, but the resistance should be ineffective, otherwise he would not have The details are incorporated in the arrangement.

"OK, then I can rest assured."

Linton stretched out his hand happily, "I invite you later." Then he left in a hurry and continued to work.

I would like to call you the king of throwing pot...

Song Ya looked at his back and sighed for a while, then returned to the editing room.

After leaving for such a short time, the number of 'supervisors' inside was a little less, and the old white men who remained seemed a little uneasy, changing their sitting positions and coughing lightly from time to time, but their eyes were fixed on the screen, because Chris Lebenson changed It's time to cut the passionate scene between the hero and heroine after their reunion in Cold Mountain.

Caviezel and Nicole Kidman are passionately courting each other.

Australian big white girl...

In fact, she has appeared in many revealing scenes, such as Eyes Wide Shut, which was released not long ago. Song Ya looked at Heng Chenyu, who had several friendly matches with her in Canada, but flashed back to Beyoncé's black hole in her mind from time to time. The muzzle of the gun, the heart is like water.

"Huh?" He suddenly frowned.

"What?" Chris Lebenson moved his hand away from the trackball, and he, his assistant, and the old white men all stared over again, and the room was unusually quiet.

"Emmm..." Song Ya touched her chin and closed her eyes intently.

What is Tony Scott doing? This scene is much more 'elemental' than the original version, this is not acceptable, "Did the two of them... just shoot these materials?" Song Ya pointed to Nicole and Caviezel in the freeze frame, and asked Chris Leben Mori.

"How is it possible." Chris Lebenson smiled knowingly, "I took a lot of shots, and Nicole sacrificed quite a lot in some of the material."

"Let me see."

"Master tape..." Chris Lebenson told his assistant.

The assistants frantically pulled out the uncut master material. It was like shooting a small movie. The old white men unknowingly leaned forward to see as clearly as possible. The screen of the editing table is not big.

"Here, up to here, this section is reserved." Song Ya continued to be calm and give instructions without distraction, "You help me check the grades."

"OK."

Chris Lebenson is also calm. Of course he is different. He is more like a doctor who sees patients. He has seen all kinds of bodies and has long been used to it.

"that's all?"

After some intense work, Chris Lebenson touched it for a while, and felt that the effect was not bad! He took a deep look at the black pharaoh next to him this time, walking forty-five... No, it seems that Fujibi Magazine just said today that it will be changed to five billion dollars.

Maybe the arts are all connected. There are indeed omnipotent geniuses in this world, such as Da Vinci...

he thought.

"That's it, what do you think?" Song Ya took a sip of the hot coffee handed by Yeremov, and turned to ask the old white men.

"It's much better, it's really much better!" The old white men nodded their heads in admiration.

"By the way, what about the similar plots of other female supporting roles?" Song Ya asked again.

"Wait a minute..." Chris Lebenson slid the trackball to find the relevant clip.

Weaknesses, Tony Scott's weaknesses, Song Ya can confirm after a rough scan, Tony Scott is much more old-fashioned than the director of the original Cold Mountain Apocalypse film.

"Xue Linfen's..."

"Natasha Kinski's..."

Xue Linfen played the role of a woman who seduces the male protagonist Caviezel in a hotel. The original film was very unrestrained, and Song Ya tried her best to restore her original state. The original version of Natasha Kinski's female number three did not reveal the scene, but it is in the master tape material. Song Yasuo also added private goods and asked Chris Lebenson to edit it back for a few seconds. Anyway, Leng Shan is an R-rated film.

It's all about art.

"Jennifer Connelly's..."

"Well, she really didn't." Chris Lebenson began to doubt his intentions.

This is really wronged, Song Ya's heart is calm now, "I know she didn't, but she should have one, vaguely..." He put his hands on his chest and shook up and down to demonstrate that he couldn't be reckless.

"I remember." Chris Lebenson found the material accurately and added it back, "By the way, how do you know?"

how could I know? Of course, it was Jennifer Connelly who told me, "Someone told me." Song Ya casually said.

Chris Lebenson didn't doubt that he was there, and asked again: "Will it be too sexual and affect the tone of the whole film?"

"Will it be good for the box office?" Executive Vice President Bowei interjected.

"No problem, we just use..."

Another weakness of Tony Scott, and Chris Lebenson, maybe they filmed too much and edited too many dramas. Compared with the original version of Apocalypse, Leng Shan's "cold" side did not perform well, Song Ya Continue to give pointers, "Turn down the color temperature when there are scenes such as snow and distant mountains. Do you understand ink painting?" He asked Chris Lebenson.

"Before editing, I communicated with Charles Fraser, the author of the original novel, and also made up lessons." Chris Lebenson replied.

"Well, lean towards that kind of tone. Others... Let's intersperse some empty shots that can reflect the beauty of coldness and emptiness depending on the situation. There will be no more. I have no objections. Director Scott shot it well, and you Nice cut."

Song Ya got up, ready to call it a day and leave.

"Zen." Chris Lebenson understood.

But the "Zen" that Americans call is actually Japanese, so it doesn't matter, "Yes." Song Ya yawned and looked at his watch. The time in the editing room passed so quickly, and it was early morning before he knew it.

"I'll send you APLUS." The executive vice president of Bowei happily came over and put his arms around his shoulders, sending him off in person.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, we actually like your changes very much." The executive vice president of Bowei turned around and asked the others, "Is that right?"

"Yes, yes..." The old white men nodded one after another, hugged him affectionately and sent him off all the way.
