The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 141 The "Devil" boss

There is a tacit understanding!

If the behind-the-scenes production team of "The Silence of the Lambs" heard Wang Wei's words, they would probably just want to jump up and kick him in the knee.

After the Chinese New Year, the outside world was in a hot mood because of the milestone box office of "Charlotte", but the crew of "Silence of the Lambs" quietly began post-production.

Although Wang Wei was still running from both crews, he did not relax at all the post-production of "The Silence of the Lambs", which also made the behind-the-scenes production team, mainly editing teams, unable to help but recall the fear of being dominated by his last work, "The Genius Gunner".

Of course, what was suffering this time was not the day and night squeeze that last time, but the endless troubles of being asked to modify.

It's better to use the sound editor-

The film "The Silence of the Lambs" has extremely high requirements for sound effects design and editing.

"I need the sound effects inside to influence the audience at both the conscious and subconscious levels." The director asked.

The audience may be very aware of the loud noise that scared them from their chairs, but will they realize the subtle, uneasy atmosphere created by a quiet room?

And this is exactly the difficulty the director requires - the sound effects in the film must be manipulated and even eventually invaded the audience's subconscious when the audience is unaware of it - allowing them to feel the sense of horror and uncertainty throughout.

for example--

"Aren't you afraid that you will be too troubled, and the frustration is too strong, so can they not bear it?"

Wang Wei spread his hands and said, "It's not high, but there is plenty of time for the post-production of "The Silence of the Lambs" and we're going to have a lot of waves!"

Just die suddenly, isn’t it just being picked on? Bear it!

It turns out that it is a soundtrack that needs a calm and peaceful soundtrack? Oh, you'll say it earlier!

——I also know that if you make trouble like this, will people get angry?

At this moment, Shen Zhenyi only felt this way in her heart.

"But in the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs", there are basically familiar old teams. I roughly know where everyone's ability limits are. Of course, there is no need to whip too much, and I can simply squeeze their potential."

...What you said makes sense, but I can't refute it.

However, this thought only changed a little in my mind and disappeared.

"But I can't tell them, I'm satisfied!"

In the climax of the killer "butcher", when the heroine is in the dark basement, they originally designed a panic of panic, the killer's heavy breathing and the screams of the girl imprisoned by the killer have created a pretty good sense of horror.

only……

Wang Wei whispered: "Actually, no matter how hard they pick, they have made obvious progress."

So, in the end, they honestly accepted Wang Wei's picking and modifying; picking and modifying again...

He complained in his heart that he would make modifications according to the director's request.

Seeing this, Shen Zhenyi, who also needs to participate in the post-dubbing, saw this and said with a teasing look on her face during the break: "So, is this your tacit understanding?"

Wang Wei finally raised his eyebrows and said, "The members of the Resident Evil project team are relatively unfamiliar, so they should be encouraged to express their true ideas and increase their honesty."

"We have a murderous soundtrack here, highlighting Hannibal's murderous heart..."

Wang Wei seemed very calm and said lightly: "If you really can't bear it, then you can eliminate it!"

So far, the initial cutting plan they edited has not satisfied Wang Wei.

Especially since I just came out of the "Resident Evil" project team, the experience is more obvious, and the efficiency of the two modes is completely different.

But Wang Wei closed his eyes and listened for a while, and still put forward his opinion: "...The fear brought by sound effects lacks a little layering, so continue to change and read."

——A demon!

"Look, no matter how hard I tossed, they didn't get angry. What's this not tacit understanding?" Wang Wei said with a smile.

As if reading the little girl's voice, Wang Wei smiled and said, "They are not fools either. Although they may not be able to see through all my thoughts, they can still feel their own progress - after all, the boss accompanied them to level up, and I still feel that I am losing."

"Not afraid."

Another example-

——Because if they really have no choice but to the director, his final tips, in most cases, have a highlight effect.

Although it is not very friendly, the boss is willing to level up with his subordinates, but his subordinates are not motivated, so he can only say goodbye.

This made the editors scratch their heads and even wanted to let go - isn't this a torment? It's better to say like last time. The director said directly that they would make changes directly, even if the work intensity was so strong that they almost died suddenly...

However, within the "Resident Evil" project team, it is a management form of gentle wind and drizzle; when it comes to the "Silence of the Lambs" crew, it seems to have turned into a cold wind and rain.

Accompanied by calm and peaceful music, the audience could even imagine the precise plan step by step in the murderer's mind - how to deceive the guard who delivered him food, how to kill him, how to carry out a savage and thrilling prison escape...

"If this happens, the efficiency will not be high."

There is no doubt that with such modification, the classical soundtrack and the suppressed picture create a clever sense of conflict, which can better affect the audience's emotions.

Shen Zhenyi rolled her eyes.

But after changing several plans in succession, Wang Wei was not satisfied, so he finally mentioned: "Switch to Bach's "Gothenburg Variations" to see."

Shen Zhenyi was simply incompetent in complaining.

“…”

——Give your knees to the director!

Wang Wei did not comment, held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "It's too straightforward, change to a soundtrack."

But they knew that the director had a plan, and it might be the most ideal plan.

It was not until the puppy barking was added that Wang Wei nodded and passed.

This relatively cold answer made Shen Zhenyi stunned.

How to say it seems that people try to maximize their employees' abilities.

Look again...

[In a heavily guarded prison, the Gothenburg Variations sounded. It was solemn, quiet, and with digital rigor and precision. Amid the music, Hannibal was planning his escape plan.]

However, she understood what Wang Wei said - if you can't keep up, you'll be eliminated.

The screen editor looked at his colleagues with some sympathy, but soon thought that his treatment was not much better, and he suddenly felt like he was sympathetic.

But he didn't talk about the specific modification plan.

"Sometimes, you can't tell your subordinates that their level has actually passed the exam - that way, they will likely be satisfied with 60 points and no longer pursue a higher level; you can only always use a 'all spicy chicken' attitude to pick them out, and they will unknowingly break through the limit under pressure."

Sure enough, the harsh dog barking that was added produces a psychological effect deeper than any other sound.
The sound effects editor was stunned.
"As a boss, when it is time to show good feelings, you should try to show good feelings; when it is time to show good feelings, you should not be afraid of 'evil'."
Chen Zhenyi translated it, probably - to speak people when it is to tell ghosts, and anyway, the boss is always right.
Chen Zhenyi, whose identity has evolved to the boss, feels that he has learned it to be useless!
