The Director of Music Department

"Diary of Weight Loss" is a documentary after all. Although the director Chen Yan has some ideas and added some other plots, the length of this documentary is too long.

There are too many weight loss routines in the middle.

It looked okay at first glance, but after watching it for a long time, many viewers left early. Four hours is really too long.

A movie is best limited to about 90 minutes to 120 minutes is the normal length.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of domestic movies are 90 minutes to 100 minutes, and there are very few theater movies that exceed 120 minutes.

In the previous life, the most powerful movie in the world was the American movie "The Cure for Insomnia" in 1987. It was 5220 minutes long, which means more than 80 hours. , this film is definitely a good medicine for your insomnia, the premise is that you really watch it patiently!

Some people may also wonder whether the length of a movie is actually determined by human physiological factors, that is to say, the length of time people hold their urine and the length of time we can concentrate. Many people would say 90 minutes to 120 minutes. Minutes are the longest time to hold back urine. In fact, this is all nonsense.

To put it bluntly, whether it's the director or the movie theater, he doesn't care about the time you go to the bathroom at all!

Because for theater operators and film copyright holders, most of them are not in favor of making a feature film that exceeds 100 minutes. Because, if the movie is longer, the number of screenings per day will be reduced by one, in other words, it is one less operating income. So 90 minutes is considered the optimal length.

And pay attention carefully, the length of the movie, from the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, to 120 minutes, their time is a multiple of 15 minutes, of course, this is a movie in the film era The length of time, because in the past, film was used for filming, and the longest filming time for a roll of film was 15 minutes.

Of course, in fact, the duration of movies now is 90-120 minutes, but not all of them are due to the reasons of theaters and copyright owners.

Movies are a gradual process. Movies have been developed for more than 100 years. After the joint exploration of the director and everyone, everyone finally discovered that 90 minutes to 120 minutes, this length of time can guarantee the narrative of a director and the film scheduling of the theater , and even the experience of the audience can reach an optimal balance point.

This is similar to the fact that a song is about 3 minutes long, which is actually the same reason!

Closer to home, a movie lasts up to 4 hours. In the current domestic market, this movie is basically doomed. It is impossible for it to be released. Even if it is released, there will definitely not be any schedule.

What's more, it's a documentary.

Therefore, some film producers who came in to find out because of Wang Yifan and the others completely gave up. In their eyes, this kind of film has no value at all.

But for Wang Yifan, he felt that this movie was actually pretty good, but he didn't understand why so many unnecessary shots were kept?

Are you reluctant?

Also a possibility.

For many director-cut movies, especially in Hollywood, you will find that if the movie is edited by the producer, the duration is usually relatively normal, but if the movie is edited by the director himself, it is often very, very long.

Although there are certain reasons for this, it is because the director expresses his ideas differently from the producer, but more often, it is because, for many directors, every shot is their painstaking effort, and it is often out of commercial needs. However, those shots that the director himself particularly likes had to be cut, but if the directors edited them themselves, then they would probably keep them because they were reluctant to discard such shots.

But here comes the problem. When watching a movie, the audience actually sees the whole and the smoothness of the movie. If there are more unnecessary shots, the logic and compactness of the movie will change.

Chen Yan's mood can be said to be full of twists and turns.

At first, he just took this documentary to participate in the screening with a curiosity-seeking mentality to try it out, but later, famous directors such as Lan Jie and Wang Yifan came to join him, and the entire screening hall was full of people.

This made him start to have some ambitions for his movie.

But soon, he was beaten back to his original shape, and many audiences started to leave, and many people cursed, saying that the director was an idiot, who made the movie smelly and long like a foot wrap.

This made Chen Yan's previously inflated ambitions suddenly wilt like a punctured balloon.

Wang Yifan and the others paid attention to this movie, which made some filmmakers think about it, but now, they are completely uninterested.

In fact, Lan Jie also shook his head frequently. This movie is really too long, and there are still many parts that are not well connected. One can tell at a glance that the director is a novice, and the editing technique is not very good.

In addition, many people left the stage early, which made Lan Jie feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, Lan Jie did watch the clips of this movie before, and he found it quite interesting, but when he really watched it from the beginning second by second, he realized that this movie is really too long , and the content is not compact at all, it is easy to make people feel bored.

To be honest, from the standpoint of an ordinary audience, this movie is really boring, but at this moment, Wang Yifan is looking at this movie from a different standpoint.

In general, this movie is indeed too long, and it seems to be of no value, because it is impossible for theaters to arrange films for this kind of movie.

But it's not worthless.

Wang Yifan cut and deleted the movie in his mind, and finally he found that if the movie could be re-edited, it would be a very interesting movie.

This time at the Beichuan Film Festival, Wang Yifan naturally wanted to benefit the Beichuan Film Festival, so he would buy a few films and go back to work on them. If they could sell well, it would be a contribution to the Beichuan Film Festival.

Why do so many people like to go to the antique market to buy things, don't they know that there are not many real goods in the antique market now? In fact, I just want to pick up the leak.

It is one thing to be small and big, but on the other hand, if you really miss it, then if it is spread, it will be the name of a wise eye.

The same is true in the film market.

If you miss something at the Beichuan Film Festival, then for the Beichuan Film Festival, it will definitely be a big book. They are not afraid of you picking up a leak, they are afraid that there is no leak to pick up.

In Wang Yifan's view, this "Diary of Weight Loss" is a big leak disguised by time.

Of course, it's unrealistic to expect a high box office for such a movie, but it certainly won't be too bad. Millions or even tens of millions are possible.
