Chapter 495 We Like Such a Director!
"Now "Legend of the White Snake" has attracted a lot of attention, and the topic is not low, but most people's attention is on Sister Man's appearance and Brother Fan."
Xiaoye truthfully reported the analysis data to Yang Hongxia, "Needless to say about Brother Fan, the fans support Brother Fan as always. The sunspots still use the same old rhetoric, making money, cutting leeks, having no foundation and love crossing the line, and so on."
Xiao Ye is tired of hearing these words, and these black fans don't know how to change a different angle, they always circle around these things, there is nothing new.
"Sister Man's side is also quite polarized. Those who like it think that Sister Man's appearance is beautiful, while those who don't like it make complaints about it. But Sister Man's works and acting skills are there. People who are optimistic about "The Legend of the White Snake" There are still more people than bad-mouthing people."
To sum up, for the project "Legend of the White Snake", the publicity so far has been positive. Although there are many unfavorable comments, it does not affect the overall situation.
Yang Hongxia nodded: "Understood, you can continue to follow up the promotion of the "Legend of the White Snake" project, and just communicate with Magic City Pictures. From now on, Lin Fan's work will focus on this project, and our job is to ensure that he can Filming with peace of mind, without being disturbed by the outside world."
The filming of "The Legend of the White Snake" was different from the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story". There are only three protagonists in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the other people have very few roles. The protagonists are throughout, so it is impossible to shoot in groups.
But "Legend of the White Snake" can.
Take White Snake, Xiao Qing, and Xu Xian as a group to shoot the main scenes of the trio; use Xu Jiaorong, Li Gongpu, Qi Baoshan and other main supporting actors as a group to shoot their respective scenes, and then shoot the two groups of people common role.
Shooting like this can save a lot of time. Most TV dramas are filmed in this way. Of course, no matter how many groups they are divided into, Lin Fan's requirements must be used as the standard in the end.
However, Lin Fan still has no way to fully devote himself to the crew, because there are still two major issues that Lin Fan needs to handle personally.
One is the tenth issue of "Longing for the Yard", the matter of the beach concert.
The other is the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
When Lin Fan was busy with casting and training for "The Legend of the White Snake", Liang Wen led the editor to make a fine-cut version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Upon receiving the news, Lin Fan immediately put down his hands After all the work on the Internet, I rushed back to the studio, wanting to see the finely edited film as soon as possible.
Just arrived at the studio,
Just bumped into Xia Yan who also heard the news.
After Xia Yan also received the news, she directly put aside the matter of the new album, and came here to have a quick look. Of course, it was also to scan the shock she suffered when watching the first cut of the film.
As for Yang Hongxia, she still doesn't want to watch the film. She would rather wait until the post-production is done, and then watch it, and don't want to watch the unedited film over and over again, so as not to hit herself and affect her production and release plan for this film .
In the editing room.
Lin Fan and Xia Yan sat side by side in front of the computer screen, engrossed in watching the edited film. Compared with the original cut, the effect of the fine-cut film is indeed much better, especially Lin Fan and Xia Yan are both excellent musicians, adding episodes and soundtracks in their minds will make the whole film look even better .
After the broadcast, Xia Yan couldn't help showing a smile: "It's much better than the first time I watched it."
Seeing the first cut version for the first time, Xia Yan felt skeptical about her life, and felt that it was a wrong decision for her to act as the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
Such hot-eyed acting skills, such an incongruous plot, such a funny fight scene... Xia Yan wanted to find a crack in the ground and never come out again.
But now after seeing the fine-cut version, Xia Yan realized that his acting skills are still acceptable, but because the logic of the plot is not straightened out, it seems very abrupt.
Of course, the fighting scene is still very funny because there is no special effect bonus, so this can be ignored for the time being.
After watching the whole movie, after the logic is smooth, it is much more comfortable to watch, and it will be even better if it is accompanied by a soundtrack in the later stage. Xia Yan feels that he has regained his confidence.
Lin Fan also nodded: "Now this effect is almost ready for special effects."
Once the special effects are completed, the soundtrack, subtitles, opening and closing credits are added, and a little trimming is done, then it can be sent for review.
Liang Wen also said: "The overall effect is very good. The story structure is complete, the context is clear, the plot is smooth, and there are no flaws. A movie that achieves this level is already a success."
As for the box office after it goes online, it is actually beyond the control of the director.
"Okay, then send it for special effects."
...
Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia had already selected two companies specializing in special effects, but they still hadn't decided which one to choose.
There are not many special effects in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", but Lin Fan still hopes to make the special effects as good as possible, even if it costs a little more money and time.
It's just that Lin Fan has a headache as to which special effects company to choose.
In the end, Hu Yuhua, who heard the news, helped to solve this problem: "The two companies you selected are of good quality, but the best special effects company in Huaxia is Huaxia Chongcai. Why don't you hire them?"
Many of the post-production special effects of Magic City Films are also cooperated with Huaxia Chongcai, so the relationship with Huaxia Chongcai is relatively good, so I learned the news.
Yang Hongxia was also helpless: "I have contacted, but Huaxia Zhongcai's list is already scheduled for next year. If you have this time to wait, it is better to find another company and spend more time to polish it slowly. The effect will be the same."
Hu Yuhua smiled: "It was originally like this, but I know that Huaxia Zhongcai has a big order, and now a group of people are idle and have nothing to do. If you need it, I can help you join the team."
This is a great thing!
Lin Fan's eyes lit up in an instant: "Then I am very grateful to Sister Yuhua!"
Hu Yuhua smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. If it was normal, I wouldn't be able to jump in line."
Yang Hongxia said: "In any case, I still have to thank Mr. Hu."
Therefore, led by Hu Yuhua, Lin Fan handed over the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Huaxia Zhongcai for the production.
Huaxia Chongcai originally thought it was an urgent order, but he didn't really want to accept it. But seeing that the editing of this film has been completed, only the special effects are left to be done, and the workload is not large.
In addition, after Lin Fan packed and sent all the reference videos and pictures about special effects shots, story boards, color drafts, atmosphere drafts, etc., he took the order very readily.
Lin Fan even came over in person and explained the requirements of each shot to the special effects staff in detail.
In this way, the work will be easier to do. It only needs to be produced according to the detailed standards given by Lin Fan, and there is no need to modify several versions. In the end, it will be the result of "I think the first version is better".
The special effects staff all said to Hu Yuhua: "We like such a director!"
