Japanese big things

Time has turned to late October unknowingly, and the midsummer season has gone far away. The scorching sun is still hanging high, and the light and heat it emits penetrates the clouds. When it falls to the ground, it has long lost the support of the heat.<

/p>

Tall trees stand on both sides of the street, motionless like loyal guards, tenacious and respectful. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the branches and leaves on the treetops also rustle, as if neatly reporting the numbers.

response.

The car driving from a distance drove into the exclusive parking lot of Hokuriku Broadcasting. Nakamura Tomimasa stopped the car firmly and then opened the door.

"Do you know the location of the TV station's editing room? Do you want me to take you there?"

Reaching out and grabbing the briefcase placed in the passenger seat, Nakamura Tomimasa moved his steps to get out of the car, while greeting Nakamura Masahiro in the back seat.

"No, I've been here twice and I know where it is."

While responding to his father Nakamura Tomimasa, Nakamura Masahiro opened the door and got out of the back seat of the car.

"Okay, you go to the editing room by yourself, I won't care about you."

Since Nakamura Masahiro knew the specific location, Nakamura Tomimasa was too lazy to worry about it. After simply speaking, he walked into the TV station building in a few steps and went straight to do his business.

Following the memory in his mind, Nakamura Masahiro followed him to the TV station building. Although he had been here very few times, he had been here before when he sent the film of the filmed material, so there was still some confusion.

A vague impression.

The editing room of the TV station is located on the fourth floor of the building, in a relatively secluded corner, with a very quiet atmosphere. This is a very suitable location for editing, after all, a relatively quiet environment is needed.

When I approached the editing room, I could hear a faint sound coming from inside. It was a bit noisy and harsh. It should be the material being played. It is estimated that there are editors from the TV station working inside.

"Simi Marseille, excuse me."

Walking to the door, he reached out and gently opened the door. Nakamura Masahiro stretched his head and apologized before stepping into the editing room.

In the back room separated by a glass window, an editor wearing headphones was sitting in front of the workbench, his eyes fixed on the screen playing the material, and he was muttering something in a low voice, but he was ignored by some noise.

The sound covered it.

Probably sensing something, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside. Seeing Masahiro Nakamura entering the room, the editor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved to Nakamura Masahiro, gesturing for him to go into the back room through the glass window.

.

"Nakamura-san, right?"

Because they had interacted with each other before, the editor had some impressions of Nakamura Masahiro, so the title was not unfamiliar.

"Hello."

Although they were in contact, Nakamura Masahiro didn't know the other person's name, so he seemed a little reserved when he responded.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can wait until I finish editing. If you're in a hurry, you might as well use the editing equipment over there."

As the editor spoke, he pointed to the cubicle inside. Compared with the larger editing room outside, the cubicle inside is undoubtedly much smaller, and the various equipment and equipment are relatively complete. Obviously

This is reserved for later use.

"Then, I'd better go inside."

After a little thought, Nakamura Masahiro decided to go to the editing room inside the cubicle to cut things. Although he was not in a hurry, how long the other party would cut was an unknown factor.

If the other party cuts quickly, it won’t take much time. If the other party cuts slowly, or the editing task is heavy, it will waste a lot of time.

"Okay, let me know if you need help."

The editor nodded without any nonsense, and directly reduced the noisy sound to the lowest possible volume. Coupled with the good sound insulation conditions, there was no need to worry about affecting Masahiro Nakamura who was working in the cubicle.

After moving the materials that needed to be edited into the cubicle, Nakamura Masahiro closed the door. The noisy sound disappeared instantly, and the entire space became extremely quiet, as if he had entered a quiet secret room.

After simply cleaning up, installing and debugging the equipment, Masahiro Nakamura started editing the material. The crew did not have a professional editor, so all editing work had to be done by Masahiro Nakamura himself.

Generally speaking, the shooting and editing of a movie are separated into two parts. The shooting is directed by the director, while the editing is handled by professional editors. This aspect is most typical of American Hollywood movies.

In the early days, American Hollywood movies were not so divided. The director was responsible for both shooting and editing. But later, a problem gradually emerged, that is, directors tend to be emotional when editing.

Because all the materials were shot by the director, psychologically speaking, the director is definitely not willing to edit them out and wants to keep all the materials. This leads to a consequence, that is, the film takes a long time to complete.<

/p>

This leads to a paradox. The director hopes that the film will be kept as long as possible, but the audience's patience to watch a film is limited. A huge contradiction arises between the two. How to deal with this contradiction is

has become a crucial issue.

In addition, movie theater exhibitors also have their own demands. The same movie can only be screened twice in the same amount of time if it is long, but can be screened three to four times if it is short.

Without considering the quality of the film, it is self-evident that the theater exhibitors’ preference is based on profit considerations. To put it bluntly, the film is too long. In addition to satisfying the director’s reluctance, other

All parties are very unfriendly.

Therefore, in such an environment, professional editors emerged as the times require. Because they have not been deeply involved in filming and do not have much feelings for movies, professional editors can be calm and objective.

Well, the specific performance is that there is no hesitation when editing, just like an emotionless executioner, showing no mercy when taking action. The film will be cut as short as the producer wants it to be.<

/p>

From this perspective, the system of separating shooting and editing is a good thing, and it can be regarded as avoiding the director's emotional use. Of course, that refers to developed Hollywood movies.

In the vast Asia and Europe regions, most of the filming and editing are still handled by the director. After all, the director's authority is unquestionable, and if the movie fails at the box office, the director will not be qualified to make the next movie.

For Masahiro Nakamura, it is a bit too early to consider those things. The reason why he is so good at shooting and editing is that, in addition to not having a suitable editor, the more important thing is that he firmly believes in his editing ability.

Because he had the original film in his memory as a reference, he eliminated many unnecessary shots when shooting, greatly reducing the accumulated material. When editing, Nakamura Masahiro was even more handy and the progress was rapid.

"Nakamura-san, do you want to go out for dinner together?"

There was a sudden slight noise, and Nakamura Masahiro subconsciously turned his head and looked over. He saw the editor opening the door of the cubicle, stretching his head and asking questions at the door.

"Eat? Now?"

After hearing what the other party said, Nakamura Masahiro was slightly startled. Then he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, only to realize that a long time had passed. Well, it's like this when I'm immersed in work. Time always passes by unconsciously.

I don’t know how long has passed.

"Yeah, look at you, I'm very hungry now anyway."

The editor looked familiar. As he spoke, he reached out and patted his slightly swollen belly to show that he was not cheating.

"Okay, please wait for me."

Not mentioning the matter of eating, Nakamura Masahiro didn't feel it yet. When the topic was mentioned, he immediately felt hungry. Immediately, Nakamura Masahiro agreed, hurriedly tidied up briefly, and got up and left the cubicle.<

/p>

The editor had also tidied up at this time. He had a messy hair style, a coat casually draped over his head, and his dark eyes seemed to be caused by staying up too late. He was indeed an editor.

Seeing Masahiro Nakamura coming out, he grabbed the mobile phone next to him, waved to Masahiro Nakamura, and walked out of the editing room first.

Nakamura Masahiro quickly followed him, and the two of them went downstairs together. Then they walked out of the TV station and walked along the street. After a few minutes, the two of them turned into a convenience store.

"The food in this convenience store tastes better. I often come here to buy things."

The editor was obviously very familiar with the convenience store clerk, and they were very enthusiastic when greeting each other. He ordered something familiarly, then turned to look at Nakamura Masahiro and said: "Nakamura-san, what do you want to eat?"

p>

"I'm not picky, I just buy whatever I want."

Nakamura Masahiro also approached the convenience store clerk, looked carefully at the shelves behind the clerk, and ordered some things casually. Anyway, he just bought them to fill his stomach and solve the problem of hunger. There is no need to do so.

Tangled.

After buying something, the two of them sat in the dining area of ​​the convenience store and slowly began to eat. While eating, they quietly exchanged some ideas about editing.

"Nakamura-san, how is the progress of the film editing?"

Because they were both editing in the editing room, the editor knew that Nakamura Masahiro was editing movies. So, after chatting about some experiences, he changed the topic to Nakamura Masahiro's movies.

"It's okay. If everything goes well, it should be edited soon."

Nakamura Masahiro concentrated on the food in front of him and answered the other party casually.

"I really envy Nakamura-san, all he does is movies."

While eating, the editor said in an envious tone: "It's not like us. Although we work in a TV station, we can only edit various intelligence materials."
