Producer [American Entertainment]

After MiG officially joined, the filming of the film finally went smoothly.The crew worked overtime, and less than a month later, the set officially kicked off and the actors wrapped up.

The hero Hanks has completed the first movie in his life, and he is looking forward to it, good or bad.

The work of director Armand and production assistant William will not end because of the end of the shooting.In fact, the real drama has only just begun.

Editing, dubbing, ratings, awards, and most importantly, announcements.

Generally, a good movie may only be shot for a few months, but it takes at least half a year or even more time in post-production.Of course, as a low-budget movie, the post-production of Blood Red will not last for half a year, because it has no money.

In fact, it took less than seven months for Blood Red from project approval to release.

If it wasn't for the twists and turns of the cameraman and the reshoots of the leading actor, William has no doubt that the film would have been completed in six months, and then released in such a hurry that even its mother didn't know it in the end.

With William's intervention, the future direction of the film will definitely be different.

This extra month was exaggerated by the media as "a month worth tens of millions".

It stands to reason that in the later stages of the film, there will always be the shadow of the producer's participation, but the blood-red producer George bluntly said, I am too busy, let William do it for me.

Producers will be irresponsible to follow through.So, the very manly director said to William: "I'll write your name in the column of the producer, next to Samuel and George."

Naturally, William would not refuse.He felt that he deserved it. Obviously, his original purpose of coming to the film crew was to learn from experienced producers. As a result...William followed the half-baked director Armand throughout the whole process, and was familiar with the process of film production, and at least He does half the work!

The first step in post-production, editing.

"My university professor of editing told me that editing is the real beginning of film creation, and it is the soul of a film." Director Armand looked at William with burning eyes, "Do you know what this means?"

"It means the importance of editing?" William was puzzled.

Armand had a regretful expression on his face, "Why are you so incapable of listening to people?" He paused word by word: "This means, I have learned editing in college."

"..."

The stingy director, coupled with the fact that there are indeed insufficient funds, has led to the editor's work, which was intended to fall directly on the "universal" director from the beginning.

"Don't tell me, you just happened to learn how to adjust the light."

In the editing of general movies, there are special color adjusters, and the final color correction is carried out on the movie through the telecine equipment, in order to achieve the appropriate visual effect.

Obviously, Blood Red is an unusual crew.

The director raised his chest and said: "Dimming is also a part of editing. Give me a telecine device, and I can adjust it for you."

"...Leave it to me."

"You will?" Armand was very surprised, he felt that this was an even more incredible thing than himself.

"I won't, but my cousin can find a professional to help for free. You only need to record the sound of the movie and the background music, OK?"

"OK." Moving out Sabatino, who seemed to be omnipotent, Armand immediately became quiet, and he had no objection.

In this way, William locked himself in a professional editing studio in New York, and did not come out for a long time.Naturally, he would not go to Sabatino, let Sabatino owe favors, and find someone to work for Xue Hongbai.He just borrowed Sabatino's name with Sabatino's consent, and then went on his own.

To be precise, the final editing was done by 2B250.

Throughout the whole process, all William needs to do is to link the 2B250 to the relevant equipment in the studio. The 2B250 comes with the most advanced editing system of the Cosmos Alliance, and you only need to move your mouth to achieve the desired final effect.

In the Cosmic Alliance, such a lazy editing system is only used to record home videos for ordinary people, or some self-made online videos.

Due to the huge difference in technology, the editing system of the Cosmos Alliance is already sufficient to meet the viewing needs of the earth.

Two days later, William held multiple edits that were specially disguised, such as rough cuts, fine cuts, final cuts, etc., and was about to start pulling weeds in the studio in his free time.

No matter what, he still has to pretend for another five or six days. What should he do?

Compared with William's extravagant troubles of doing nothing, Armand's troubles are much more serious. He looks at the studio marked as confidential every day, looking forward to seeing through. He really wishes that William would come out of it with the legendary editor the next moment. .

It's not that the crew is so pressed that they can't even wait for a few days, but... Sabatino's resentment is about to break through the sky!

Originally, William was alone and stayed in Staten Island for a month, and Sabatino was already very unhappy——

Bodyguards + Wendy + the whole crew, we are not convinced, we are human too!

——As a result, as soon as he came back, William plunged into the studio, which he had prepared for him in advance, and he didn't even eat dinner that day!Can this be tolerated? !

"It must be unbearable! It's a crime!" Mr. Special Assistant is still so doggy that people can't bear to look directly at him.

Armand and Wendy looked sideways together.

What the director thought was, what the fuck, how do you talk?Do you still think that I am not bad enough to be hated by Mr. Lesenbra?

What Wendy thought was, Mr. Special Assistant really deserves to be a role model for my generation. I must learn more about how to be the No.1 boss next to him!

The cameraman assistant, MiG, was a little embarrassed. He stood behind the director who had already shrunk himself into a ball, frowned, and thought to himself, Mr. Serus's order is to supervise Armand, and when you think it is appropriate, To stop Armand from doing all the convulsions on the movie...

"Amande will always come up with whimsy, he thinks it's good, but it will actually ruin the idea of ​​the movie, you have to persuade him in time." It's like the previous "genius" idea of ​​making a thriller from the perspective of a perverted killer.

...Is the director's behavior in front of Mr. Lesenbra now a convulsion?Forget it, it's better not to stop it, anyway, it's only the director's own face that's lost, not the film's face.

Armand just waited and waited and waited and waited, all the movie sound requirements for dialogue re-recording and foley have been recorded, and William has not come out; It came out, but William still didn't come out; in the end, even the background music was recorded by professionals, William...

William said he was in good shape and let him do the audio editing and mixing together.This will allow for final dimming.

"No, please, hero..." Armand caught William who had finally come out, hugged his suit pants and refused to let go.

"What?" William was taken aback.

Armand choked speechlessly, boy, are you serious?You didn't notice at all, your cousin's real gaze that wanted to kill me?Are you forcing me to kneel down and sing Conquer?

William really didn't notice it, because he only saw his cousin's thoughtfulness, his frequent greetings, all kinds of small desserts and always punctual nutritious meals, not only will not make people feel bored, but also inadvertently exudes tenderness.For example, at this moment, although Sabatino still has the face of a domineering president that has not changed for thousands of years, William feels that he can feel the care from his cousin.

"I think what the director means is that he is advising you to combine work and rest."

"Yes yes yes! Work and rest. Please give us a little work too. I really like audio editing. Really, I have a problem since I was a child. If anyone doesn't let me mix, I will get sick!"

"..."

Cousin glanced at Armand, who failed to accomplish anything but failed, and could only help himself: "Actually, I have some things and I want to ask you for help."

"Okay." Although William was still not at ease with Armand, but when he thought that this was rare, when his cousin needed him, he was more than happy to drop everything to help.However, before finally leaving, William still hinted to Miguel, "Learn from the director, eh? Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My mobile phone is available to you 24 hours a day."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Theros." MiG immediately understood William's words.

Sabatino waited silently, and took a look at MiG for the first time, an Asian he had never paid attention to before.His nitpicking was palpable.Too thin, like a horse pole; the hair is so long that it covers the face, how ugly is it?It's not a good habit to stand without a stand, hunchback!I have never heard of the name, and there must be no future in the future!

In conclusion, he is uncompetitive, and I really don't know what William values ​​him!

Indoor temperatures continue to drop.

"Let's go?" William stepped forward and said to Sabatino.

In an instant, the earth rejuvenated.

Sabatino pretended to be serious, but his heart seemed to be filled with honey, we, he likes this word.

After boarding the plane again, William found out that Sabatino was not asking him for help at all, but Sabatino was doing him a big favor.

"There is a man who, no matter what, would like you to have dinner with him."

"Who?"

"William Wheeler."

The old man is not only a director, but also a producer. He has also worked as an actor, screenwriter, and cameraman. He once worked for Universal, and later had several classic cooperations with MGM. With 12 Oscar nominations, 3 awards, and a lifetime achievement award from the Academy, he is one of the most important figures in Hollywood. "Roman Holiday", "The Golden Age" and "Ben-Hur" are all his masterpieces.

"You must know "House of Courage", right? During World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill personally wrote a letter to MGM's BOSS Mayer because of this movie. At that time, Mr. Wheeler was the director of Home of Courage, MGM It's the producer."

In a nutshell, William.Wheeler was the biggest producer that Sabatino could invite for William, who was full of goodwill and affection for MGM.

"He wants to meet you," Sabatino said.

"...Let's be honest, how much did you pay to invite him to 'want to know me'?"

Sabatino straightened his back and looked upright: "Honey, you are not only insulting my personality, but also disrespecting a great artist. With Mr. Wheeler's current age and status, he is no longer Simple dollars, or people who can be hired with a pistol. He just took over MGM's fifth film project this year, the crime comedy that you and I are very optimistic about. Talk to your assistant."

"Sorry..." William was a little embarrassed, "I was just wondering how Wheeler would know me."

Of course he would, Sabatino thought to himself, his nerd grandson, who had studied computer programming, was impressed by Microsoft.

The author has something to say: *William.Wheeler: Real characters who had a profound influence on Hollywood movies in the 50s and [-]s.Audrey.Hepburn played "Roman Holiday", which he contributed to.

Wheeler's grandson...I made this one up.No specific information about Wheeler's family has been found online.
