Disaster Artist

The other end of the computer screen was still silent, and Lin Hanzhou's concentration was as if he had entered another dimension of the universe.

Ji Xu, patience is bottoming out.

Editing and post-production work have always been very tedious, boring, and even a kind of torture. Ji Xu did not like post-production when he was in college. In his words,

"Destroy all the magic of cinema with boring work".

And this time, even more so.

Every day, "Love" will produce a large amount of material on the filming studio of Shouzheng, ranging from three hours to six hours. All these materials will be handed over to Lin Hanzhou as soon as possible.

Lin Hanzhou needs to spend a lot of time sorting and selecting, and then classifying them according to the scene, watching the material of each shot, and then sorting them out by label, and then completing the editing and assembling. This is the first rough cut.

After the rough cut is completed, Lin Hanzhou will transfer the data to the next link. The colorist and special effects artist will appear. They need to complete their work according to the director's requirements. The final result is the first sample.

So, what exactly needs to be done in the post-editing work?

In Lu Qian's conception, the image of "lover" is special.

This city, with bright sunshine and a wide field of vision, has a comfortable and leisurely feeling of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge and seeing the southern mountains leisurely"; however, it is sparsely populated, even walking in the center of the city, it may be difficult to see people for a long time. A little further on, it is possible to see fields, mountains and countryside.

Therefore, the final picture is clean, clean with a sunny breath, but it also reveals a kind of barren coldness invisibly.

Lu Qian had discussed with Chen Mu before that the film will use a blue filter, but it will not be a very prominent dark blue, azure blue or navy blue, but a light blue that is almost transparent, bringing a clean and translucent color to the lens. Texture, the difference is:

detail.

This is also a post-production job.

First, they need to clear the screen of superfluous presence.

For example, pedestrians, such as garbage, such as vehicles, it does not mean that the filming cannot do this, but Lu Qian hopes to create a kind of empty city effect to a certain extent, but it is not a simple empty city——

In the world of Nuoda, the pedestrians who come and go disappear completely in each other's stories. Married life should belong to the husband and wife.

However, in the second half of the film, the media, public opinion, the Internet, and the public played an important role. These "figures", like ghosts, suddenly appeared from all directions, filling the entire scene, and even further intervened in Wang Si The marriage with Ai Qing became a third party.

This kind of before-and-after comparison should happen quietly, no one can detect it, but can deeply feel the oppression that is blowing on the face.

Second, they need to adjust the color scale.

Blue should not be a layer of filter, but should be the background color hidden in all the colors, appearing in the lens picture in a gradient way, and then highlight the main body in the picture, trapping the characters.

Just like the scene in which Zhang Benqing left the apartment and returned in embarrassment this morning, the depth of blue is adjusted through the shadows and dark corners of the corners of the picture, thereby highlighting the clarity of the main body of the picture, creating a translucent clarity of clean lake water. The feeling, and then let the audience slowly drown and suffocate.

Especially in dirty places, such as garbage dumps, such as dirty hotels, such as blood flying, such as night, these heavy-colored scenes use blue as the keynote to present the entire color gradient.

The final effect should be to "squeeze" the activity space of the main characters through the existence of color blocks and colors, and quietly reflect the psychological state of the characters according to the changes of the scenes and scenes, which is very important for Wang Si and Ai Qing. It is a very important addition to the character arc of the character.

Third, they need to adjust the light source contrast.

Yin Shutang and Chen Mu's work on the set was very professional and in place, but after all, some details could not be controlled, and post-production help was needed at this time.

They need to confirm the layout of the light and the prominence of details, so that the relationship between characters, plot twists, etc. can be more delicately and vividly presented.

Details, details, or details, the production of the entire post-production visual effects is all about details, and it is completed on the basis of the shooting of the real scene, so the final picture presented is completely invisible to the audience. A frame is all about post-production.

It is precisely because of this that the communication between Lu Qian and the later team has become more and more important—

Lu Qian put forward requirements and ideas. In the later stage, the team used their imagination to complete the creation according to their own profession. Inspiration collided with sparks. Every frame needs to be adjusted in detail, so as to complete the first version of the sample.

The samples need to be handed over to Lu Qian again, who will watch and review, put forward opinions, and then hand over the samples to Lin Hanzhou. The entire post-production team will carry out the second optimization process. The whole process is like this. A picture that meets Lu Qian's expectations.

The most important thing is that, according to the previous practice, all these work are carried out after the shooting on the set, and the post-production team gathers in the studio to work day and night; Company production deadlines can be scheduled.

But now, Lu Qian is trying to "synchronize editing" and "synchronizing post-production" work. Except for the soundtrack and sound effects, all other work follows up with the daily shooting of the crew, and the pressure comes immediately.

Efficiency is crucial.

It is precisely because of this that there is a lot of work every day, step by step, and one link is linked to the other, often the work of the day needs to be completed the next day, and then new work will be created the next day, once any step is delayed~www. novelmt.com~ Then the entire production process will be disrupted.

The filming time of the crew is the stipulated eight hours, but after the daily shooting of the crew, the working time of Lu Qian and the entire post-production team needs to be calculated additionally. Even if it is less than eight hours, four hours is the basic bottom line.

In addition, Lu Qian still needs to make arrangements and plans for the next day's shooting work, and the sleeping time has been compressed to two hours.

Fortunately, Ji Xu personally came to ask for evidence and sat down. The daily work on the set, the coordination and cooperation between various working groups, and the trivial matters were all handled by Ji Xu, so as to ensure that Lu Qian could devote himself to the film production as much as possible. At work, avoid being interrupted by trivial matters.

Otherwise, I don't know how busy Lu Qian will be.

Every night, after Lu Qian finished the crew meeting, he would enter his room and have a meeting with the post-production team headed by Lin Hanzhou.

For Ji Xu, this is the equivalent of boring work that needs to be repeated day after day, which is simply a kind of cruel torture.

More importantly, communication with Lin Hanzhou was also difficult.
