The Right Way to Open a Perfect Life

Shen Yan said: "Why should I rest, I'm not tired."

Yang Mi had no choice but to call Chen Li and ask her to arrange the editing.

Editing is the most important step in film post-production. It can be said that the role of an editor is no worse than that of a director.

The same movie, in the hands of different editors, will present two completely different movies.

After all, what the director shoots is all material, and what you actually watch in the movie is the work after careful editing.

In Hollywood, whether or not he has the editing rights represents the power and status of a director.

Because Hollywood is a producer system, in a crew, the producer is the biggest talent, and the editing rights are all in the hands of the producer, but the director cannot participate.

Therefore, the directors who have the right to edit are generally big directors. China, which is one of the best in Hollywood, implements the director system. The director is the boss of the crew, and the right to edit is naturally in the hands of the director.

Regardless of which one is good or bad, there is no way to directly compare it, but there is no doubt that editing rights are very important.

The editing of "Old Boy" was completely done by Shen Yan himself, and the company also hired an editor, but it was only for Shen Yan to do some specific things. The decision was made by Shen Yan. He said that the clip could be used. Use, if that segment is bad, it’s not good.

Chapter 330 The Road to Propaganda

Generally speaking, the editing of a film needs to go through four processes: initial cutting, re-cutting, fine-cutting, and final-cutting.

As for how long each process takes, it varies from person to person. Some directors shoot a lot of material, and the editing time will be very long.

Some directors shoot less material, so it is easier to edit, and the time required is naturally shorter.

Shen Yan undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. The unedited version of "Old Boy" is only over 500 minutes long.

This is already very small, about half less than the average level.

And the reason why there are so few materials is not because Shen Yan is rough and random, but because the script and ideas are all from his own hands, plus there are movies from his previous life as reference, as well as the completed and detailed storyboard script, As a result, he already had a complete movie picture in his mind.

Therefore, at the end of the filming of "Old Boy", there were no extra shots.

At eight o'clock in the morning on September 9, Shen Yan and the company's editors began to cooperate with the first cut. By eight o'clock in the evening, the first cut had been completed. Excluding the time for lunch and dinner, the full count was ten. Hours, it is basically equivalent to watching the unedited version, and the first cut version came out.

In the evening when the editor got off work, Shen Yan continued to work overtime. With one person, he finished the re-editing at 08:30 in the morning and finished the fine editing at [-]:[-] in the morning. The next morning at [-]:[-], when the editor came to work Shen Yan has already finished the final cut.

When Shen Yan said that the final cut was finished, the editor didn't dare to think about it. He thought he heard it wrong and thought that what Shen Yan said was re-cut, until Shen Yan said it again and asked him to read the final cut again. In the end, the editor believed it.

Then, there was sincere admiration, and even a feeling of astonishment. He had seen a genius before, but for such a monstrosity, it was a bit exaggerated to be true.

The most important thing is that Shen Yan not only edited quickly, but the quality is also super high. The editor of the final cut carefully reviewed it and felt that it was just right. He wanted to modify it to show his presence. Otherwise, he feels like he needs a career every minute.

Let the boss man do all the work, how hot is it to get paid by yourself?

As a result, he racked his brains and thought for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't make a move. He really couldn't do it. The plots were seamlessly connected, the camera transitions were very natural, the transitions and climaxes were interspersed with each other, and the rhythm was full. , I really can't find anything inappropriate.

Once the editing is done, there will be a soundtrack to be made. Originally, there should be a dubbing link, but Shen Yan uses live recording, that is, all the actors speak their lines live and record them live, so there is no recording link.

While Shen Yan was busy with the post-production, the women in the Shen family were not idle either.

On September 9th, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi attended the 5th Beijing College Student Film Festival. Although they did not have any works to appear at the film festival this time, they will have unreleased works to promote. The two did not come empty-handed. Brought the first "Promotional Video" of "Old Boy".

The two also officially announced the release time of "Old Boy" on September 9.

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi opened the prelude to the promotion of "Old Boy". On September 9, Yang Mi, Guli Nazha, Liu Shishi, and Di Lieba joined hands to participate in the Weibo Night Party.

That night, Di Lieba uploaded the second promotional video of "Old Boy" on Weibo.

On September 9th, Shen Yan went to Shanghai alone to prepare for the recording of the new issue of "A Date with Luyu". The post-production of the film was completed on the 12th, and the rest was to design posters, covers, etc. Well, this company has a special publicity department to do it, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

He is now officially joining the propaganda army. Of course, the promotion of "Old Boy" is not limited to himself. Yang Mi, Guli Nazha, Liu Shishi, and Di Lieba also went to Hunan this morning. They are going to Xiangxi to participate in "Longing Life", which is also a promotional film.

And Huang Bo will also bring Guo Degang to promote the last issue of "Extreme Challenge", but they will not come to Shanghai until the 15th.

At 09:30 in the morning, Shen Yan got off the plane at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, wearing white sneakers, white linen slacks, and a white half-sleeve linen shirt, pulling a suitcase alone, among the crowd leaving the airport, he really came alone Originally, Yang Mi wanted to arrange two staff members to accompany him and act as temporary assistants for him.

But Shen Yan didn't give in. It's not that he's incomplete, unable to take care of himself, and he's not doing something earth-shattering. He's just recording a show, and it's a talk show. There is really no need for assistants, and people he doesn't know very well will follow. Not used to it.

"Teacher Shen?

After leaving the terminal building, Shen Yan heard a woman calling him, turned his head, and saw Chen Luyu standing beside him, waving at him.

Chen Luyu was also a very recognizable person, even though she was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, Shen Yan still recognized her at a glance.

She's really too thin, like a hemp stick, probably weighing no more than [-] catties, and her too thin figure also makes her head look very big. Although Chen Datou's nickname is not very nice, but I have to say, really Very image.

"Do you start filming now?

Shen Yan pointed to the camera behind Chen Luyu and said, Chen Luyu didn't come alone, there was a film crew behind him.

It was also because of the existence of the film crew that they successfully attracted the attention of many passengers. "Yes, the filming will start now. Mr. Shen, let's go out first."

Chen Luyu probably was also afraid of being blocked by audience fans here, so he stretched out his hand as an invitation gesture, and left the airport with Shen Yan.

After getting into the nanny car driven by the program group, Chen Luyu took off his hat, sunglasses, and mask, and said to Shen, "Ms. Shen came alone?"

Shen Yan also took off his sunglasses, nodded and said, "Yes, alone." "You should have an assistant, why are you alone?"

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "This is really not there."

"Is it because you don't need it, or because of something?" Chen Luyu entered the interview mode with his thin legs in black stockings.

Shen Yan said: "No need, I'm not used to it, and I feel that I should be able to handle most of the things by myself.

Chapter 331 It May Be Your Smile

"Has Mr. Shen watched our show?" Chen Luyu brought Shen Yan a bottle of water and asked again.

Shen Yan held the mineral water, nodded and said: "I have seen it, my wife has been on your show." Chen Luyu smiled and said: "So you only watched the episode when they came?"

Shen Yan smiled and nodded, a little helplessly said: "There is no way, you understand."

Chen Luyu laughed loudly, and said: "They are so interesting, are you forced to watch them?" Shen Yan didn't answer, just smiled and put his finger in front of his mouth, making a shh gesture.

Chen Luyu covered his mouth and laughed for a while, and then said: "Mr. Shen, do you know? Now you have changed the shooting method of the entire variety show in Huaxia by yourself.

Shen Yan showed surprise, and said, "Am I so good?"

Chen Luyu nodded, and said: "Yes, it's very powerful, because the variety show you participated in used two ways of webcasting and TV recording, and it was very successful, so most of the variety shows now use this method. Split broadcast methods, including "A Date with Luyu", in fact, we are broadcasting live on the Internet now, and the audience can watch it directly."

Shen Yan showed a look of sudden realization, then shook his head and said, "You can't say that, I'm just a participant, and I'm definitely not the only one who deserves the credit."

Chen Luyu said: "But there is one thing that no one can deny, that is, you are super popular now, and there are a lot of viewers who like to watch you."

Shen Yan said: "Maybe it's just a fresh idea.

Chen Luyu said: "When everyone first knew about you, it may have started when you married several wives. At that time, were you under pressure? In response to the public opinion or the eyes of the world, you married five popular women all at once. Does it bother you that a celebrity is a wife or an ordinary person?"

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "No!"

"Not at all? At that time, would you go online or watch TV to watch your news?" Shen Yan said: "You will watch the news.

Chen Luyu said: "Even if you see some bad comments, won't you be affected?" Shen Yan put his legs up and said: "How should I put it, because it was a misunderstanding at the time, I didn't know them at first, Then I got married inexplicably. At that time, my only thought was that this misunderstanding would be cleared up sooner or later. We might divorce soon. In fact, we did have a discussion at the time, saying that we should divorce after one year, according to the law. If you are polygamous, you have to extend the time for a year before going through the divorce procedures, so you are actually very relaxed.

Chen Luyu was surprised, and said: "You guys talked about this kind of thing at the beginning? Then why didn't you get divorced in the end, but got together instead?

Shen Yan smiled, and said: "Because of love, what else can it be, and I think we can talk about movies. Yang Mi has given me a task to promote the movie."

Chen Luyu laughed loudly, and continued: "Okay, then let's talk about movies, we all know that you are very talented, you are very good at cooking, you are also good at music, and you can also write novels, so why not in your field of expertise Why do you choose to make movies if you first achieve some achievements and then develop others?"

Shen Yan said: "Because I'm also good at making movies."

"So you think you are also a genius when it comes to directing and acting?"

Shen Yan thought for a while, and said: I won't answer this question, because it is likely to be hated by others, so just take it as my acquiescence.

"Hahaha!" Chen Luyu laughed again.

After questioning and answering, the two came to Chen Luyu's company, and Chen Luyu took Shen Yan to visit the company for a while.

This company was co-founded by Chen Luyu and others, and its only business was the talk show "A Date with Luyu".

Chen Luyu is definitely considered a genius. She was also a TV host in her early years and worked in several TV stations. Because of her unique hosting style, she is very popular and liked by the audience.

So after doing it for a few years, I started my own company, and my company produced programs, and then sold them to TV stations. Now the partner of "A Date with Luyu" is Shanghai Satellite TV, and the webcast is also a cooperation method. Search arc video network.

The two visited the company for a while, and then Chen Luyu invited Shen Yan to a working meal in the company market.

After dinner, the two came to a study room. This is the main interview location today. It is obviously a set-up scene. The study room is in front of the camera, and there is an open space on the opposite side, where many cameras are placed.

The two sat on the sofa face to face, and soon started interviewing again.

Although Shen Yan came to participate in the program today mainly to promote the movie, but in fact, it is impossible for the talk show to only talk about the movie, so it is estimated that not many viewers will watch it, so the movie is only mentioned occasionally, mainly talking about life, family, Talk about something personal, after all, that's what audiences love to watch.

"If you were asked to evaluate yourself, what kind of evaluation would you give?" Chen Luyu asked.

Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "Lucky one."

Chen Luyu said: "So do you think that everything you have now is due to luck?" Shen Yan nodded and said: "I think so.

"Does that have something to do with your own efforts?"

Shen Yan said: "There must be this, but the main thing is luck." Chen Luyu said: "Then do you care what other people think of you?"

Shen Yan thought for a while, and said: "I didn't care before. In fact, everyone who has been in contact with me knows that in terms of personality, I am rather annoying. I don't care much about other people's feelings, and I am more self-centered. But recently, I have changed a lot. Big ones, I started to have concerns, I started to think about whether there is a better way to contact and communicate with others, and I also care more or less what others think of me.”

Chen Luyu said: "What made you have these changes?"

Shen Yan said: "Family, because you are married after all, you are no longer alone, and you have concerns in your heart, so you have more things to think about."

Chen Luyu said: "Then what does marriage mean to you?" Shen Yan said: "Responsibility."

Chen Luyu said: "So you think that if you marry them, you must be responsible for them?" Shen Yan nodded and said: "Of course, if you are married, you are not responsible. Isn't that playing hooligans?"

"Haha." Chen Luyu covered his mouth and smiled, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very humorous?"

Shen Yan said: "It's okay, I think I'm quite stable, maybe it's because you have a low laugh."

Chapter 332

Among the hosts of domestic talk shows, Chen Luyu is probably the most well-known. It is precisely because of her high popularity that she has always been very controversial.

Those who like her think she is very intellectual, elegant, and warm, and the programs she hosts are also very good-looking.
