King of Hollywood

Chapter 89 Kung Fu in Editing

"Like the previous "Howards End", he has put a lot of effort into the costumes and scenes, and the è tone is used perfectly, making the typical British style beautiful. The camera editing also perfectly expresses his ideas. Things to express: naughty, funny, suspicious, reserved, etc. Adrian should be the director who knows the UK best in Hollywood. I just hope that after the movie is officially released, I can still see such wonderful pictures, and I also hope that Gwyneth ia My sister can maintain the standard of the trailer." This report on the "Emma" trailer published in the "Daily Mail" can be regarded as representing the attitude of most British media.

First of all, as I said before, there are praises and criticisms, but they are all pointless. At most, they complain about using American female actors to play British characters and teasing that other talents are all put in the trailer; Secondly, it was published in the lower right corner of the fourth page of the entertainment edition, a very ia piece, with a scandal about a certain celebrity on the top, and an advertisement for sunglasses below.

"There will be a trial screening of this movie soon, and I hope that everyone who is invited can participate." Facing these reactions, Adrian simply said something through the spokesperson, but unexpectedly, this sentence caused a lot of speculation .

Generally speaking, in Hollywood, several test screenings are held before each film is released, and most of the people who participate are insiders of the film company and those famous film critics. The difference is that insiders are eligible to participate through the release of vouchers--these vouchers are transferable, of course--while film critics are invited to come. Film critics will express relevant opinions after viewing, and write film reviews in their own columns. Ordinary people will make preliminary judgments and selections for upcoming films based on these film reviews, so the opinions of film critics are very important. Many market-oriented films usually make appropriate changes based on these opinions, and film companies often try to please these film critics.

However, the status of film critics seems to be very high. The most famous film critics sometimes rush to three or four shows a day, but in fact it is a symbiotic relationship. If the film company is angered by ridicule, the film company can block the other party. Simply put, it means refusing the other party to participate in the trial screening of all the films produced by the company. The seven major film companies in Hollywood have done this kind of thing, although many people think that this will not be of much use, isn’t there another company that cannot participate in the trial screening of this film company? But really counting, if you often can’t participate in the test screenings of some exciting movies, and wait a long time after others post comments to express yourself, over time, your own popularity will decline—don’t think that film critics will lose popularity .

What's more, this is still dealing with the film company level. If the contradiction intensifies and the film company has to seek support from above, then even the famous film critics will have to weigh themselves. So even after being banned, it is unavoidable to sneer a few words in the column, but after a long time, those who should reconcile still have to reconcile, and people who are too self-righteous will not work long in any line of work.

Therefore, after Adrian said this through a spokesperson, many good people began to speculate whether he was dissatisfied with a certain film critic and wanted to warn or even block him like this? After all, many film critics have ridiculed him mercilessly in the past, and his company has just been acquired, which is considered to have a pivotal position in the media industry, and it is very possible to settle accounts after the fall. These people excitedly came to analyze the past, and the ia newspapers also participated in it. It was obviously just a polite sentence, which forced them to interpret countless possibilities. Although the well-known media did not participate in these inexplicable discussions, they would more or less affected.

"How is it possible, would I be that kind of person?" At a certain reception, facing a part-time film critic's insinuation, Adrian replied with a laugh.

He really thinks it's funny, even if he wants to look good to some people, he won't use this method, he prefers to slap them in the face with facts, just like "Howard End", it's more interesting to slap and slap , isn't it? However, if necessary, he doesn't mind using this method to show his power, just like another idiot, although he subdued implicitly on the phone and became more respectful after meeting, he didn't hide it. The dissatisfaction in the expression. Adrian is not in a hurry, after he loses the value of using it, he will naturally get what he deserves.

In fact, the reason why Adrian said this is because he accelerated the post-editing of "Emma" and planned to advance the release time. He overlooked a problem. As the end of the year approaches, "Braveheart" will start to promote sooner or later. For big productions, whether the box office is good or bad, the early publicity accounts for a large proportion. And give up "Braveheart" entirely? Of course, there is a solution, but to be on the safe side, I decided to advance the release time of "Emma" at the same time. Anyway, the post-editing is only too weird, and he is mainly responsible for this. It's really... too simple

"I believe that every editor will want to work with you, and don't want to work with you." In the cutting room, Miller Green, who has done the pre-editing of the film and is now Adrian's assistant, said with a sigh

"Is this a compliment?" Adrian, who was staring at the computer screen, teased without looking back.

"No, this is a compliment, the best compliment." Green shrugged, then tapped the screen, "Is this wrong? I remember you asked to show the cunning of the female protagonist, and the shot of looking back should be placed on the male protagonist After turning around."

After stopping for a moment, Adrian nodded: "Yes, you are right, this place should indeed be replaced."

He laughed along with him: "Look, I can make mistakes too, without your supervision, this may affect the whole movie, so don't be so arrogant."

"That's why I said that I want to work with you, but I don't want to work with you." Green sighed, "Anyone who sees your editing speed will be ashamed, and then proud of being able to remind you."

"This is already flattering, Miller." Adrian laughed, but he seemed to be very useful.

The charm of picture stories is that the same set of pictures, expressed in different orders, conveys very different emotions, and sometimes may even be completely opposite. For example, in the shot looking back just now, if it was a happy conversation with the male lead, and then the male lead waved politely before leaving, then this shot will convey a feeling of secret love; but if it was the male lead before Politely waved away, and then had a happy chat, which gave people uncertain information; and if it was a quarrel with the male lead before, and then the male lead had a happy chat with other women, it would have a gloomy taste.

Although these are not absolute, it depends on the harmony of the screen and the scene, as well as the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, but it can also explain the importance of editing, so post-production is often more time-consuming than shooting, directors and editors must fully consider when editing The framework and rhythm of the whole story, a little carelessness may cause details and affect the whole movie, so the essence of many movies is in the trailer, but the feature film makes people drowsy.

But in the hands of Adrian, these problems do not exist, as long as he thinks, as long as he has enough time, he can find any corresponding picture in his head. In fact, all the shooting is carried out in reference, so he shoots It is much faster to get up and edit than ordinary people. Of course, he is not completely rote, he is aware of his ability, he has never naively thought that with his own ability, he can modify the rhythm and story of these classic movies casually, and still be equally popular. He is more like a tinkerer, constantly making adjustments to the deficiencies of the original while continuing to learn. Before he has enough accumulation, he can make major changes to the original and still succeed. That would only be the protagonist in the ia story Something that only the protagonist of Halo has.

So whether he is shooting or editing, he will always bring an assistant like Green, so as to remind himself at any time not to confuse the picture in his head with the picture in the shooting. Even so, his shooting efficiency and editing efficiency are still quite high. Especially now that non-linear editing has become popular, it is more convenient to adjust it on the computer than using a slicer, and the editing efficiency has become higher. Green's amazement is inevitable.

The workload has increased a lot, but it has not affected Adrian's life. The birth of a lovely daughter and the attractiveness of Kate, who is a brilliant mother, made him spend most of his time on her. Did not forget other women. The other women also more or less guessed a little bit of the situation. After all, they all knew about Kate's pregnancy before, but they didn't show it. Of course, their subtle emotions did not escape Adrian's eyes, but he didn't take it to heart. He still does what he usually does now, and some things have to go with the flow, including——

"Very good, very good, this kind of enthusiasm is very emotional, where did you find it?" Eric Norton took off his earphones and turned his head to look at Adrian curiously.

"Bar," Adrian smiled, and then waved to Jennifer Lopez, who came out of the recording studio calmly and nervously, "Come here, Jane, and listen to Eric's opinion."

Although he was not very satisfied with his answer, Norton still analyzed for Lopez with a full face: "Your voice is very good, sister Jennifer ia, enthusiastic, unrestrained, and very contagious, plus the dance skills you showed before, and ..."

He looked Lopez up and down: "...The figure is quite good, and the Latin-style hot dancing and singing route should be very popular, but even though you have been the exclusive dancer of Janet Jackson, you still need ua time Training and consolidating basic skills, if you want, we can find a time for detailed planning."

"I think," Lopez glanced at Adrian, then nodded, with a little excitement in his smile, "it's no problem."

"You really met her at the bar?" Eric Norton asked after Lopez left.

"Of course, why should I lie to you?" Adrian spread his hands.

"For an actor to change careers to become a singer, and the quality is still good, you are really there." Norton shook his head after looking at him for a while, "It is said that you have a good eye for actors and directors, and now it seems that you have to add more. Go to the singer."

"She already dances well, otherwise she wouldn't be Janet Jackson's exclusive dancer, and all she needs to train is her singing." Adrian said indifferently, "Besides, whoever says you can't continue to act as a singer?" It's a movie."

"Oh?" Eric Norton gave him a meaningful look and didn't say any more.

"Okay, let's stop here today," Adrian said and stood up. "Since Jane has agreed and you think she has potential to be tapped, then I will give you the rest."

"No problem, I will ask the planning department to come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible." Norton nodded.

"By the way, how are those two girls doing now?" Adrian asked again thinking of something.

"The two EPs that tested the water received good responses, and their respective characteristics can basically be determined. As for the usual practice, they are still very hardworking." Speaking of this, he once again showed curiosity. Did you cast any magic on them? , Ed? Every time you talk to them individually, they are always very serious and hardworking. "

"It's nothing, just some words of encouragement. You know, young people should be encouraged a lot. As long as you master the pace, you can let them play to their greatest potential, and I have always been good at this." Adrian shrugged .

"That's right, everyone knows your vision now." Norton said teasingly, "So, don't you plan to teach something today?"

"Not today, but there will be plenty of time in the future." Adrian said after recalling the previous situation.

After coming out from the art director of the record company, he came to the lobby very quickly. Jennifer Lopez had been waiting there for a long time. She wore a tight windbreaker with an elongated ù and thick-heeled leather shoes, allowing her figure to be seen at a glance. ia wheat è skin, has its own flavor in it.

"Sorry for the long wait." Adrian said with an apologetic smile.

"It's okay, it's just for a while." Without the slightest impatience, Lopez took his arm and walked towards the elevator together, very naturally.

"There is a Spanish restaurant in Principe Road, Westwood District, which is one of the best in Los Angeles. Maybe you want to try it?" As the elevator drove down, Adrian put his arm around her waist, and then Sliding down, it feels really good.

"No problem." Lopez still smiled, and stretched out his hand to brush the rising silk, which looked quite charming.

Adrian did meet this Latin American girl in a bar. After the successful acquisition, their media company became more and more attractive, so they had to attend some previous receptions that could be avoided. Who made him the chairman? After finding an excuse to sneak out of the hotel's reception that day, he was entangled by an enthusiastic guy and dragged him to the bar for two drinks. He finally beat him away, and when he was about to leave, he bumped into Jennifer Lopez hereby.

As for whether it was really a chance encounter, I don't know. Anyway, after a few words with A, Lopez recognized him, and then there is no need to describe it. Frankly speaking, Jennifer Lopez is not considered a beautiful woman, but her figure is indeed quite good, especially her round boobs are at least first-class among the women he has seen so far, no wonder she will become her in the future The biggest feature.

Naturally, Adrian would not let go of this kind of dessert that was brought up on his own initiative, even if his collection shelf is already full of beautiful things, it would be nice to have a night of playing occasionally* and try something new. Don't forget what his desire is, don't forget how powerful his desire is, and don't forget how to control his desire. Caesar can say "I come, I see, I conquer", and he has so many opportunities Why can't he say the same?

Oh, of course, Adrian can't be compared with Caesar, in fact everyone wants different, maybe from a social point of view there are low and high, but in essence there is not much difference, so while respecting the bottom line Follow your inner needs, don't hide or deceive yourself, that's what a person should do.

However, Adrian is not being taken advantage of. If every woman who has sex with him arranges a suitable movie, then there will be no amount of memory. Now that his signboard has been played out, he can start to correct it. It just so happens that Jennifer Lopez, who is not yet successful, will have achievements in movies and music in the future, so Adrian simply suggested that she try it. Try singing and make a record, anyway, she has the corresponding skills, and singing and acting in movies can also be performed at the same time.

Although Lopez is not top-notch in movies and music, he is quite successful among Latino artists, so signing as a singer is still very helpful for the development of the record company.

You can get opportunities from me, all kinds of opportunities, but whether you can succeed or not depends on whether you work hard. This is the impression Adrian wants to correct.

Not to mention how long it will take for this impression to be corrected, but Lopez's audition singing and dancing at the record company touched someone's heartstrings.

The taxi stopped in front of the building, and the girl paid the fare and went to the building, looked up at the towering building for a moment, then took a deep breath and clenched her hands before walking away. went in.

Taking the elevator to the destination floor, she strode in. Sister Ia at the front desk was talking to someone and didn't notice her, so the girl entered the company smoothly. Although she had never been here before, with her cute appearance and sweet voice, she quickly asked where the office she was looking for was.

After turning a few turns, the young girl finally found the place she was looking for. There was no one in the secretary's workroom outside. The person who showed her the way told her to ask the secretary to notify her first. She also remembered that he was always accompanied by a beautiful girl. Secretary nv, what should I do if I'm not here now? The young girl didn't think much, walked straight to the office, took a deep breath again, reached out and tapped lightly. a
