Star Entertainment Tycoon

The supplementary shots were all completed, and the martial arts was put on the computer for perfect synthesis. Gu Jingchuan borrowed Shen Zhuo's star brain to connect all the materials together, and started the initial cut.

The so-called first cut, also known as rough cut, is to splice the materials together in the order of the script to form a version without special effects, narration and music.It is convenient for formal editing, color correction, adding sound effects, special effects, and final dubbing.

Some people think that with the script, editing is not important, which is a big mistake.Editing is very important to movies, and it is an important step to determine whether the plot of a film can be coherent and smooth, and whether the theme is clear and clear. That's why someone once said: Editing is the official start of film creation.The importance of visible clips.

For a movie, the official version may only be nine or ten minutes long, but the material produced by the movie may be several times or even ten times the length of the official version.Editing is a trade-off, just like carving, removing the blemishes and leaving the beautiful jade, too greedy, and throwing away at will is not acceptable, what is needed is just right.

The same movie, if it is edited by two different people, is like a piece of jade carved by two different sculptors, there may even be two versions with completely different central ideas, which may be completely different from the beginning to the end .Therefore, editing plays a vital role in the success or failure of the film, and that's it.

Although Gu Jingchuan had his own ideas during filming, but when it comes to editing, he still carefully chooses every shot, trying to make the film perfect.In addition to editing, he also needs to adjust the tone of the film, process the picture, and enhance the contrast of colors, so that the visual impact of the finished film is stronger, more expressive and appealing.

He had learned some of these things when he was a director. Although he didn't understand all of them, it was not much worse.In Huaguo, the director is often the biggest leader of the entire crew, and must be able to solve all problems, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the film production.As a responsible director, Gu Jingchuan wants to control all aspects in his own hands, so he is very familiar with the film's post-production process, and he can handle everything well. With Shen Zhuo beside him to provide technical assistance, there will be no major problems.

There is only one thing that Gu Jingchuan is not good at, and that is the soundtrack...

He had never studied music before, and although he knew a little about sound effects, he was a novice with the soundtrack.In his last life, he only had to compose a special soundtrack, and he was in charge of checking and accepting it, choosing the right one.In this life, he didn't have a suitable soundtrack at hand, and he couldn't afford to hire professional talents, so he could only rush the ducks to the shelves and make the soundtrack by himself.

Gu Jingchuan originally thought that he couldn't do this soundtrack well, but after getting started, he found that he did a good job.Of course, this is not because Gu Jingchuan still has a potential musical talent, and suddenly lit up his composition skills, but because he has enough "materials" in his brain database to choose from.

In the parallel world, he does everything, some like to listen to music, some play music, and even a composer. In the parallel world, he has countless "original" materials, and he can choose whatever he wants. Can find a lot of suitable music from memory.In a certain life, he was a famous writer in ancient times. He was excellent in both lyrics and music. Not only did he compose lyrics very well, but he also created many famous songs with lyrics, many of which were suitable to be included in his movies.

The film soundtrack made by Gu Jingchuan is actually the same as the original director's work. It is all about picking out suitable music and putting it on the film. It is really not difficult at all.He chose his own song from the parallel world... This sentence is really twisted.However, the dream of the parallel world has tortured him for so long, and it is time to give some compensation. These music materials are regarded as interest.

Whether those dreams or the time travel, they all told Gu Jingchuan an astonishing result—Gu Jingchuan in the parallel world is actually Gu Jingchuan himself. He has the same appearance, the same body, and the same soul in different worlds. The difference is the barrier of the world.

Although even he himself does not understand why he lights up different talents in each life, this may be the mystery of the parallel world.

With Gu Jingchuan busy, the post-production of the film was perfected bit by bit, and time kept passing.From summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, when his films have finished even the late subtitles and opening and closing credits, and only the final dubbing is left, the first snow of the stars on the set has already fallen.

Unlike the less and less snowfall due to global warming in the 21st century, the location where Shen Zhuo's shop is located has abundant snowfall.But in just one night, the snow accumulated more than ten centimeters, turning the whole street into white.There are some icicles on the nearby trees, which become crystal clear, as beautiful as a fairy tale world.

Before the snowplow robot arrived, many children on the street started to build snowmen and have snowball fights.They are self-taught in these ancient games, relying on the instincts from blood to play with the pure white bestowed by nature.The adults in the shop didn't stop them, they smiled and watched the children crawling and rolling on the snow, letting their hair and eyebrows be covered with snowflakes and turn white.

Shen Zhuo is a standard technical geek, and he didn't express anything about the first snow outside. He sat in the shop and yawned while repairing his star brain, as if he didn't know it was snowing outside.As a science student who is only obsessed with programs and machinery, there is no difference between the real beauty and the pictures on the astral brain. of various data.

Gu Jingchuan really likes the scenery outside the window. Although he is not a very literary person, as a person who has been going around in the entertainment industry all his life, he still has a normal aesthetic.Seeing the heavy snow, his hidden literati soul was revived, and inspirations kept popping up in his mind, but unfortunately the cold wind outside blocked his steps, so he could only stay in the store and face the screen to do the post-production.

As a standard poor man, the cheap thermal clothes on his body can only ensure that he will not freeze to death in winter. At this time, if he runs around outside, he must have a high fever. He should stay in the house and work...

"Is your movie just short of dubbing?" Shen Zhuo, who did not know when the star brain in his hand was repaired, stood behind Gu Jingchuan, looked at the video on the screen and said: "The subtitles are all finished, plus dubbing, the whole movie Let's finish the production." As a member of the studio stars, even if Shen Zhuo is not a filmmaker, he still has a good understanding of the film production process, and with a quick glance, he can know what step Gu Jingchuan has achieved in his work.

"Ah, I've done dubbing, but I still don't know how to do it." Gu Jingchuan frowned.

Whether it is in the earth era or the cosmic history, dubbing is an essential job.Although it is not impossible to listen to the sound when shooting, but the cost of doing so is too high, and often there will be noise included in the film, which will affect the quality of the final product, so this form is not mainstream, post-dubbing is the majority of film and television choice of slices.

Dubbing can be roughly divided into two types, one is that the actors dub themselves, and the other is to invite professional voice actors to dub.The advantage of professional dubbing is that the work can be completed quickly, the voice has characteristics, strong imitation ability, and it is not easy to make mistakes and omissions, while the dubbing by the actors themselves is easier to arouse emotions, and sometimes the expressiveness will be stronger.Generally speaking, these two kinds of dubbing have not been able to compete for excellence until the ages of the universe, and they are still parallel in this era.

As an actor, Gu Jingchuan also participated in dubbing in his last life. He not only dubbed for his own film and television dramas, but also dubbed for anime, so he is quite familiar with dubbing work.But he is not a professional voice actor after all, and he doesn't know how to change the tone. Of course, there is no problem with one role, but it is completely impossible for one person to play several roles.

If he still has a lot of money, of course he doesn't mind hiring a professional voice actor to do the post-dubbing, but the key is that he has no money.Professional dubbing actors charge very high fees. In the history of the universe, the price starts at 200 yuan per minute. Gu Jingchuan’s movie is 120 minutes long, and the cost of dubbing alone is tens of thousands of yuan. He simply cannot afford this money.

If it is a normal movie, the production budget ranges from several million to hundreds of millions, and the salary of the actors alone is several million, tens of millions.But for Gu Jingchuan's movie, the total budget is only [-] star coins, and the tens of thousands of dubbing has become an astronomical figure, and he can't get it out even if he sells it.

The technical difficulty of dubbing work is not worse than that of martial arts dramas. Even if you don’t look for professional dubbing, at least you need to find actors to dub so as not to make mistakes. Ordinary people who don’t have the ability to express the various emotions of the characters in the movie freely .Although there is a saying that "the masters are among the people", these folk masters are often hidden very deeply, at least Gu Jingchuan does not know any of them.

Shen Zhuo blinked and said, "Oh, then I'll contact an acquaintance to rent a recording studio."

Before Gu Jingchuan had time to answer why Shen Zhuo still knew an acquaintance who opened a recording studio, he blurted out doubts, "How to record? I can't do so many voices by myself..."

"Yes, why not?"

The well-dressed and handsome Shen Zhuo looks very foul. Compared with many big stars in Gu Jingchuan's impression, he is more handsome. Even if his hair is a little messy, he doesn't feel sloppy. Instead, he thinks it is a trendy new hairstyle.The innocent question was uttered by him, and he was full of cuteness, with a slightly crooked head and a face without any expression, full of three-dimensional cute elements from Two-dimensional .

Gu Jingchuan rubbed his eyes, and felt that he was brainwashed by Shen Zhuo's face, how could he think he looks so cute...

Obviously when we first met Shen Zhuo, he was still looking scruffy from overwork, but as soon as he tidied up a little bit, he became more and more foul.Not only Gu Jingchuan will be confused by this foul face, completely ignoring his bad habit of throwing things, helping him tidy up the room and store every day, taking care of him like a full-time nanny, even the neighbors and Xingnao's Customers were also fascinated by Shen Zhuo's appearance, wishing they could spend the whole day in his shop.

The neighbors find excuses to send fruits and snacks to Shen Zhuo every day, making daily routines without talking.The customer repeatedly asked Shen Zhuo to repair the star brain at a high price, but he couldn't find an excuse, no matter how stupid the excuse was.

The star brain was repaired seven times a week, and the reason for each repair was water ingress... At that time, seeing the female customer in her 50s who was looking at Shen Zhuo obsessively, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him twice, Gu Jingchuan twitched. The corner of the mouth is spitting out viciously in the heart, big sister, it's not the star brain that got into the water, it's your brain, right?

Dropped the star brain into the swimming pool seven times in a week, is this a human thing?Do you think you are a mermaid, living in water?If you really like playing with the star brain while swimming, you might as well spend five yuan to buy a waterproof membrane to cover it outside if you have the money to repair the star brain...

After washing away the unrealistic and cute impression of Shen Zhuo in his mind with complaints, Gu Jingchuan asked quickly: "How to dub?"

"Didn't I already say that at the beginning? Use a timbre modifier." Shen Zhuo ignorantly spread the feeling of cuteness, completely unaware that his image in Gu Jingchuan's mind was infinitely closer to the cute little animal.

"Back then?" Gu Jingchuan shook his head, trying hard to remember.His memory of real life is only at an average level, and it took him a long time to remember that he seemed to have mentioned such an instrument when he first met Shen Zhuo a few months ago.But he is also a person who has been working as a star on the set for a year, why doesn't he know that there is such a thing that can be used for dubbing?

Shen Zhuo was at the side popularizing science, and it was only then that Gu Jingchuan understood what this timbre modifier, which he had never heard of before, was.It's no wonder he didn't know about it. Whether it's a model machine or a motion capture device, it's been used in a commercial shoot, and someone on the set has used it. Gu Jingchuan has heard of it even if he hasn't seen it.But the field of application of this timbre modifier has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, it's not normal for him to know.This instrument is now used only by zoologists...

"Zoologist?" Gu Jingchuan rolled his eyes, feeling that he really had a good posture.It is "normal" to use model machines and motion capture devices to make a movie, and it is still acceptable to use training robots. Now even the machines used by zoologists are included. His movies are really amazing.

Miraculous or not, besides, the key is what is the use of the instruments used by this zoologist.

"To put it simply, the function of this instrument is to change the timbre of the wearer's voice to that of the same species or a different species," Shen Zhuo explained.This instrument was only used in the field of zoology research from the very beginning. Its function is to fine-tune the human voice and transform it into the sound made by animals, so as to observe the reaction of the studied animals and understand the different sounds made by animals. what does that mean.

After all, the vocal cord structures and vocal organs of humans and animals are not exactly the same, and no matter how good the imitation is, it is difficult to ensure that they are exactly the same.With such an instrument, biologists can simulate the sounds made by animals without any error, and human beings' research on animal "language" is advancing rapidly.

This instrument can simulate voices across species and, of course, different human voices.This kind of simulated sound cannot be fooled by the high-tech professional equipment of the police, and it cannot be used to violate laws and regulations, but it is still easy to deceive the human ear with purely simulated sound.

As for why such a useful thing is not used in film and television dubbing, Gu Jingchuan can understand after a little thought.First, people in the entertainment industry are a little too old-fashioned, and they will never use such a machine to replace a real person.Second, the price of this machine is quite expensive, and it is cheaper to use it than to use a real person.

Shen Zhuo said: "One of my classmate's family has been a biologist for generations. He has two or three timbre modifiers. It should be no problem to borrow an older model from him. You only need to pay the postage back and forth. As for the recording studio , I have acquaintances who can get a cheap price. 5000 star coins should be enough to complete the dubbing."

Gu Jingchuan was already unable to complain about why Shen Zhuo was full of acquaintances, he just felt that Shen Zhuo's whole body was a mystery.Why does a small boss who runs a repair shop on the set know so many people?Why does he know so much about all kinds of machinery and even some unorthodox equipment?Where did he learn his ridiculously high astral brain technology?

Gu Jingchuan never mentioned family matters because he was an orphan.But he has lived in Shen Zhuo's house for so long, and he has never seen Shen Zhuo talk about his family's affairs once, and no family member has contacted Shen Zhuo.Is it because Shen Zhuo is also an orphan, or is there some other reason?

Who is Shen Zhuo?
