Chapter 478 The Counterattack from the Great Demon City Crew
"Director, it would be unreasonable to cut this paragraph, and the plot would be too procrastinated."

Ji Yun has become a heavy smoker for the past two days, his work and rest schedule has become a mess, and even his complexion is a bit ugly.

This is something that can't be helped, after all, the Great Demon City is already gearing up to promote it, but they are still struggling with the proportion of the edited content.

Zhuang Wenqiang adjusted his glasses, "You mean the painting of four seasons?"

"Yes." Ji Yun nodded, "Even if the meaning of the painting of Four Seasons is described in such detail, very few viewers can understand it. If the supplementary settings in the script are released in full, it may dilute the original meaning of the story. conflict."

The contradictions and ups and downs of this story are very intense. Although there is a warm and emotional montage in it, but from the perspective of the protagonist, I live a thrilling life under the power of the painter.

If there are a lot of explanations in the film, it will definitely make the audience relax.

A movie is only one and a half hours long, so it is natural for the audience to just follow the protagonist's experience. This overly long sermon is like the sensational link at the end of the sketch, and everyone feels uncomfortable watching it.

Zhuang Wenqiang nodded in agreement, "Your consideration is quite reasonable."

He also lit a cigarette, and his heart was full of entanglements. If he gave up directly, it would not only make him feel uncomfortable, but also show that so much investment in the early stage was useless.

If you continue to shoot and it won't be screened at that time, it will be a waste of work.

It was originally a good idea, but now it has become a constraint of the length of the film, which made him a little unacceptable for a while.

"I have a way." Seeing him scratching his head, Ji Yun made a suggestion.

"You said."

"We first released the edited version in theaters, and then sold the film on video sites after it was released, and released the director's cut version to fill in the edited settings."

The director's cut version is a feature of Hollywood, because their directors generally do not have the right to lead the editing, but hand it over to professional editors for editing.

However, the editor is definitely not as deep as the director who leads the shooting, so he usually has to go through two processes.

Let the director make a rough cut first, and then let the editor do the second cut.

On the one hand, it is to avoid the pressure brought by the grading system. Some people in China will call the director's cut version the uncut version.

For example, in the 02 Resident Evil, a lot of uncomfortable content was deleted when it was released.

On the other hand, it is the drawback of Hollywood's industrialized assembly line. To measure the audience's acceptability with the consistent vision of the producer, it deprives the director of the right to a certain extent.

Hearing this term, Zhuang Wenqiang's eyes lit up, "It's a good idea. After the movie is released, it can be resold."

Playing on the website has its own advantages. Although it lacks the atmosphere of watching a movie in a big theater, it can give the audience great freedom.

And it also took off the shackles of time length, even if the film is three or four hours long, it can be easily finished with two pauses.

This kind of dominance also increases the audience's desire to find out in disguise, and the buried easter eggs and foreshadowing are not afraid that no one will find out.

"However, there is a longer gap between the big screen release and the website licensing."

Zhuang Wenqiang was not surprised, "Of course, it can be accepted within one year."

After all, they are responsible for the audience who buy tickets to enter the cinema. The ticket price is fifty or sixty, and they can watch the extended version for five yuan on the website. Everyone feels cheated.

"It's still you young people with flexible minds."

Zhuang Wenqiang was happy, if these plots could be deleted, the editing speed would undoubtedly be greatly increased, and the premiere plan announced two days ago would have more preparation time.

The two were in a good mood when suddenly the assistant director rushed in.

"Teacher Ji, director, something serious happened!"

The Wushuang editing is nearing completion, and the release is also a certainty.

The people who have been busy for several months finally breathed a sigh of relief, and vowed to release the bold words that the premiere ceremony will be held at Beijing Normal University on October [-]th.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and everyone here was looking forward to it, but a piece of bad news shattered all their expectations.

The Bernard official has just issued a statement that it is also Beijing Normal University, also on October 15th, and the premiere ceremony will also be held in the Great Demon City.

Putting down the phone, Ji Yun's face turned dark.

Looking at the same faces in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sure, I was cut off by Berner this morning."

"Oh!" Wang Jing sighed heavily.

He had known for a long time that Berna would definitely not sit back and watch Wushuang's normal release, but he didn't expect that the other party was silent for half a month, just to wait for Wushuang to announce the premiere time and location, and then conduct a wave of interception.

Outside the Internet, there has been an uproar, saying that Ji Yun has lost his home court for the first time after ten years of debut.

And the gang of the main creators of Wushuang's crew were so downcast that they couldn't say a word.

After a while, Zhuang Wenqiang swallowed his saliva, glanced at everyone, and said, "Why don't we change the time, NO.15 won't work, then let's hold the premiere on NO.16, it's only one day, it's not bad."

Wang Jing shook his head, "No, if we had already played No.15 for the premiere during the early publicity, it doesn't mean that we have no confidence now that we have backtracked."

"Then let's change land. There is no Beijing Normal University. We can go to Shuimu University or Yanda University."

Wang Jing glanced at him and sighed, "It's not about the venue, it's just that if we let go now, we will be dragged down by the media, and they can use this to make another wave of publicity."

Zhuang Wenqiang had no choice but to say, "This won't work, and that won't work either."

Looking up at Ji Yun who was also frowning, he had his last hope: "Ji Yun, you have a lot of ideas, what else can you do now?"

Ji Yun clicked his tongue, and then smiled wryly, "National Master Yan can let go of the premiere venue, which means that he has paid enough. The people in my company talked with them, but they didn't agree."

After that, he spread his hands, "The current method is that we each have half a day, the morning session and the afternoon session."

"We have to have an afternoon show!"

Wang Jing raised his eyebrows: "Everyone wants the gold market, why should we compete with others?"

Afternoon is actually two very general words.

The morning refers to before twelve o'clock, so what about the afternoon?I have a good nightlife, and it’s night after eleven o’clock, so I’ll hold a premiere until eleven o’clock.

Zhuang Wenqiang was also angry, pointing at Wang Jing's nose and said angrily: "You don't think of any way, just pouring cold water here, then you can come up with a good way?"

Wang Jing twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and really didn't have the heart to fight among himself at this juncture, "Actually, I can't think of any good way to do it."

Seeing Zhuang Wen blew his beard and stared angrily, Ji Yun sighed and stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, I've asked the company to negotiate with them, try to grab the afternoon session."

"Then it's all up to you, and I will also initiate the relationship."

Wang Jing nodded, "I'm going to find a friend and plan for the worst. Even if we lose the golden field, we can't lose to the other party on the cards."

Several people were gloomy. In fact, everyone could see that Berner made a move and announced that the victory was basically sealed, and all they could do was try to save it.

"Mr. Ji, someone is looking for you outside."

"No see!" Ji Yun was extremely aggrieved, "Call me if I have something to do."

"He said he was your father."

"I'm his grandfather!"
