World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Chapter 487 Post-production of opening

After the crowd dispersed, a few people found a place to sit down and eat.

“The food here is good.”

After Taylor tried a certain meal, he recommended it to Qin Dong.

"Let me give it a try..."

Qin Dong did not refuse anyone who came, and he did not have many requirements for food.

I eat most anything delicious.

"This salad tastes good too...you can try it and see."

Tyler tasted a little of everything, but not much of anything.

As a singer, staying in shape is the most basic requirement.

At this time, he picked up another piece of salad and brought it to the man's mouth.

"The actors for the afternoon have been confirmed. Martin, you and Caesar can decide together. After lunch, I will go to the company's editing room to edit [Mad Max]. It will probably take an hour or two."

Qin Dong opened his mouth to eat the salad and said something to Martin and Caesar smoothly.

Now that he is here, it is impossible for him to do nothing. As for the actors, as long as he personally decides the roles of his compatriots, the others really don't matter.

Giving CAA benefits is an inevitable thing. Qin Dong has many things that need CAA's help.

This is a benefit that everyone understands that does not need to be explained. If you do good to others, you will get the convenience that others give you.

For the movie [Mad Max], due to some reasons, Qin Dong had no choice but to cast all foreign actors to star in it, resulting in the movie not having a single Chinese actor.

In this case, Qin Dong was too lazy to go back to China to do post-production work, so he simply worked at Heishui Longqi Company here to do post-production work.

"No problem, it's just Qin, it only takes you one or two hours to edit the movie?"

Martin nodded, but his expression was very strange.

This is the first time he knows how Qin Dong edits movies.

Qin Dong's previous films were all edited by his own company in China, and Martin had no idea what was going on in them.

"BOSS, isn't this time a bit... Even a movie with hundreds of thousands of discs needs several days to edit. I heard that commercial blockbusters in the industry take ten days and a half, or even longer.

, come and edit it..."

It was also the first time for Caesar to hear about the miracles of his BOSS, and he asked curiously.

Even though Heishui Longqi is Qin Dong's company, the movies shot by his boss have never been post-produced by Heishui Longqi.

"Yeah...Caesar, Martin, what you said is right, but that's someone else, not me. You only know that I shoot movies quickly and post-production is also fast. Now you understand why."

Qin Dong admitted it while eating.

"Qin, why do you need so little time? What Caesar said is normal. Even if the cost is small, editing will take several days."

Martin was very curious and inquired.

"I want to hear it too."

Taylor could speak at this time. Although she didn't understand the movie, the other two people said this, which aroused her gossip.

"It's very simple. Other people's movies need to shoot too many scenes, and many unnecessary scenes are shot. During the final editing, there is a difficult selection, which involves not only the film's director, screenwriter, but also the producer.

You also have to intervene, several parties have to discuss and argue with each other, and finally decide on the film, but I don’t need this, I make the decision alone.”

"If a film requires two thousand shots, plus the number of NGs, according to the script, the number of shots shot will be about 6,000. But the reality is that most directors shoot shots that are

It's more than 10,000, or even 20,000 or 30,000."

"I'm different from them. After I write the script, I have a complete picture of the finished film in my mind, so the shots I shoot, except for NG, are all the finished content of the movie. My movie is a standard 6,000

Unless there are too many NG shots in the following shots, as long as I arrange them in order when editing, the film will be completed very quickly."

"Many of the scenes shot by directors are irrelevant, or they are still deleted in the end and will not be included in the final film. This is the difference between me and other directors."

Looking at the curious eyes of the three people, Qin Dong put down his knife and fork and explained seriously to satisfy the curiosity of these people.

Because other directors follow normal rhythms, only time-travelers like Qin Dong know how to take shortcuts in a movie.

In the future, there is a director named Zach, who shoots a superhero movie. After the movie was released, the feature film was less than two hours long, and the movie was a flop. Later, the director released the feature film that he personally edited, and the movie became four

Hours of filmmaking.

Why didn't the movie have reshoots? It could have been reduced from two hours to four hours with random editing. That's it.

In reality, directors all shoot movies like this. The scenes they shoot far exceed the needs of the script. These need to be slowly deleted during subsequent post-production. These require additional costs and a large amount of footage.

Because of time.

Why the post-production time for these commercial blockbusters in Hollywood usually starts at a minimum of several months? This is where it comes from.

"Okay, Qin, I understand what you said, but this method is not advisable. Most other directors do not have this right or ability, and there are very few capable directors, even if they can do it

I won’t do it, it’s too risky and too arbitrary.”

Martin understood, but thought about it and finally shook his head, disapproving of this approach.

"Hey, Martin, don't compare me to other people. I'm the real expert in this area."

Qin Dong picked up his fork to taste the food here again, and boasted shamelessly after hearing this.

No matter how famous the world is, the directors may have more professional abilities than Qin Dong, but compared to how to save money to shoot a movie and how to post-production more quickly, none of these people can compare to someone who can see the finished film in his mind.

Compared with Qin Dong.

The cheating life is sometimes so unreasonable and does not require science.

"So handsome..."

Taylor stared at Qin Dong with his big sky-blue eyes, whispering in his heart...

The man is so handsome. Genius men always attract women.

Taylor, who is not in the film industry, doesn't understand much, but looking at Martin, the president of the world's largest brokerage company, next to him, he was shocked by Qin Dong. Seeing the other person's surprised expression made Taylor feel happy and proud for Qin Dong.

This is my man. I am proud that my man is so talented. I am grateful, proud and happy to have such a boyfriend.

A woman's vanity may not always be all about herself. The people closest to her are worthy of a woman showing off her pride and being proud of it.

After several people finished eating, Qin Dong took Taylor into the company's editing room.

He didn't come out until more than two hours later.

"BOSS, is the editing done? It's really fast. I wonder if I can watch the finished film later?"

After Qin Dong came out, as soon as he took a drink of water, Caesar had received the news and immediately followed him.

"It hasn't been dubbed yet. If you want to watch it, go and watch it."

Putting down the disposable cup, Qin Dong said noncommittally.

"Thank you, boss. I just went to watch the finished film and wanted to know how this genius did it to satisfy my curiosity."

Caesar thanked him first, and then expressed his thoughts.

Qin Dong's approach is inconsistent with today's mainstream and is unbelievable. Caesar's curiosity is overwhelming and he wants to see the results.

"You can do whatever you want. Remember confidentiality. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to afford the compensation even if you lose everything. Have the actors been confirmed? Are my brothers here?"

Qin Dong just warned him and asked about other things.

"Don't worry, BOSS. I understand the seriousness. Director Zhou and Producer Cai are here, and the actors are also here. They are all in the conference room. BOSS, do you want to go and see it?"

Caesar immediately assured himself that of course he knew the consequences.

Once the finished movie is leaked, he won't be able to compensate even if he sells his house and his kidneys.

"Forget it, I won't go. You and Martin decide to finish it later and ask Zhou Shan and Cai Dachun to come to me and have someone bring me two cups of coffee."

Qin shook his head and refused to interfere in the selection of actors.

Taking Taylor towards the company's president's office.

Although Qin Dong doesn't come to the company often, he still has his own office in the company.
