Raising Dragons in Hollywood

No matter how many twists and turns you have experienced in the middle.

When the house burning scene was re-shot, the whole movie could finally be finished.

Sammy started talking to the crew editor about the final cut.

It is worth mentioning that the editor was personally invited by Rossi, and it is said that he also used a lot of connections.

The effort was not in vain.

This editor helped Sammy a lot, and at least doubled his work efficiency.

And, how to say it?

This editor is different from other post-production personnel.

He has been involved in the crew from the beginning of filming...

Not to mention from the beginning to the end, he has been busy with his editing work since the first day!

Of course, this kind of editing is just a rough cut, and it is definitely not the same as the final cut.

However, the editing method, which is almost parallel to the shooting, directly brings two great benefits: One advantage is that it can check for omissions and fill in gaps in the editing. Another advantage is that the edited version helps everyone have a general idea of ​​what the movie will look like when it is finished, and this concept often helps everyone know where to work.

Based on the above reasons, Sami still respects this editor with real skills.

Therefore, he did not say anything, and suggested politely: "Let's ask the Hello band if they are free? If they are free, just call them over directly, and then call the sound designer and the others. Adding impromptu music to the film, while finishing the final editing work, is efficient and saves time.”

At the time, Hello had already written a lovely song (the aforementioned "Stay for a Dance") based on a portion of the film they had seen, proving they had what it takes to score the film .Only because I haven't seen the full version of the movie, I couldn't continue to complete the rest of the soundtrack work.

Today, the film is only short of the final cut...

Sammy liked to be with the friends he got along with very much again, so he wanted to call people over again and work together.

What I didn't expect was...

The editor came up with a sentence: "No!"

Sami was stunned: "Why?"

The editor explained with a frown: "My opinion is that no soundtrack is used until the editing is officially completed. No soundtrack at all."

Sammy was still puzzled. "Why?"

"Music can cover up a lot of things," said the editor.

He took out his mobile phone, showed some pictures in the album to Sami and said, "Look, this is just an ordinary pet dog squatting at the door. But if I add music to these pictures..."

Accompanied by a piece of pure music, several photos slowly flashed across the screen of the phone one by one.

Obviously the same picture as before, the pet dog is still squatting quietly at the door, but with the sound of music, it adds a sense of sadness, making people unable to help thinking, where is its owner?Is it missing its owner?

Sammy couldn't help showing a thoughtful look.

"That's it." The editor stopped the music and continued to explain: "Music is very important, but when editing, it will cause unnecessary interference to us. Boring and rough shots, under the cover of it, often It will also be full of emotion, but this is probably an illusion. Because the lens itself does not have this emotion. Therefore, we should shield this effect and edit without soundtrack. If there is no soundtrack, we also Being able to make wonderful videos will be a huge improvement for the film, making the film..."

"From cool to very cool!" Sammy quickly interfaced with bright eyes.

The editor was amused by his description: "You are right to say that."

Therefore, the Hello band, which was the first to talk about cooperation, was useless in a short period of time.

Because, the soundtrack becomes the final element.

It wasn't until Sammy and the editor finally made a rough cut without the soundtrack that they reconnected with the band.

This also led to-the first person to see the full version of the "Love You Will Kill You" video is the Hello band.

Before starting to watch the rough cut of the movie without the soundtrack...

Sammy also apologized specifically to them: "I didn't expect it would take so long."

The good guys in the Hello band all said without hesitation: "It's okay, it's okay."

Mai Qilong, who ran over and stuck to his own humans, couldn't figure out the situation at all, so he also chimed in beside him: "Yeah, it's okay, it's okay."

Sammy couldn't help but pinched the dragon's paw, signaling him to shut up.

However, Michron doesn't understand these cues from humans at all.

He felt a little embarrassed when his paw was pinched, but he didn't want humans to see his youthful and innocent side, so he had to try his best to pretend to be calm and composed, and secretly pinched it twice pretending to be experienced. Then, he looked over with indulgence, as if asking: "What's the matter? Do you want to kiss or hug?"

Sammy looked at the dragon with a puzzled expression on his face.

Then, he was kissed.

Be-kissed!

Everyone in the Hello band was stunned for three seconds, and then, instead of booing, these honest people turned their heads away silently.

They collectively looked at the white wall intently, as if there was some wonder in the world on the wall!

A few minutes later, everyone sat in a temporary small screening room, ready to watch a movie.

During this period, Michelon was proud of it without human shame, but Sami was a little embarrassing and a little embarrassed.

Probably because of the weird atmosphere.

Before the film was officially played, the lead singer Ke Lin couldn't help but secretly glanced at Sami's face several times. Out of that good old man mentality, he started to make silly jokes to break the embarrassment: "That... next time there will be this Feel free to come to us for a good job, and you can watch movies for free and get paid..."

Sammy had a stern face and didn't appreciate it at all.

He put on the ugly face of a capitalist and knocked on the table: "It's impossible to get a salary for free! Concentrate on watching the movie and discuss the soundtrack later."

Colin immediately smiled embarrassedly.

He turned to look at the screen.

At this time, it has just been edited into a standard version, and the movie of about 140 minutes has officially started.

Although there is no soundtrack, it is a bit lacking in excitement, but everyone in the room looks serious.

About three and 10 minutes later, lead singer Colin hit the pause button.

press pause? ? !

Sammy: ...

Colin didn't seem to realize what he had done.

He turned his head very naturally, and asked Sammy who was sitting behind: "The beginning is so interesting! Is there really such a person in the world? The character played by Mikey actually wants to kill someone? Isn't that good?"

Sammy was speechless.

Although I know that this is not in a movie theater, and I am not watching the final version of the movie after completion.

You can watch half of the movie and press pause!

I have to go back and find someone to discuss it. What kind of operation is this?

The rest of the Hello band didn't think there was anything wrong at all. This group of guys who were so poor in music in their early years that they almost slept on the street would never go to the cinema to spend money. They would watch TV together at home every day. Discuss it!

Therefore, they looked at Sami with their lead singer confidently, waiting for the answer.

Sammy had no choice but to say: "It's also quite interesting in the back, so keep watching."

"Okay, don't go, I will continue to watch." Colin said, and pressed start again, and continued to watch.

Sami was even more speechless, thinking to himself: "...What do you mean I don't leave, I'm going to watch a movie with you, and the director has to watch it with me all the time?"

After 10 minutes, Colin pressed pause again.

Sammy:! ! !

Colin asked again: "Sammy, does Professor Hansen like Anderson?"

Sammy: "Go ahead and watch, there will be more in the back."

Then, the guys from the Hello band showed Sammy what is meant by 'casual movie watching'.

They watched while discussing... They had to pause for discussion.

Sammy, a sort of obsessive-compulsive, was almost driven crazy.

He really didn't understand, and was extremely mad about it: [Why do you have to talk while watching a movie!Can't you just look at it seriously?Can't you see it yourself?What do you ask to do?Know the plot in advance and watch a P!Watching a movie and discussing it, why don't you just go to a debate meeting! ]

However, what I didn't expect was that chatting while watching was not the worst situation.

What's worse - the director is around and can ask anytime!

Colin was curious: "Sammy, will they like each other?"

Sami endured: "Colin, please read on."

"Sami, will Anderson really kill Professor Hansen?"

"Let's see."

"Will Professor Hansen go with Anderson?"

"Let's see."

"Sammy, is the ending tragic?"

"No."

"Will Anderson be with Professor Hansen?"

"Of course (not)."

After the movie ends...

Everyone in the Hello band looked over blankly.

"Sammy!!! You liar!"

Ke Lin wailed and burst into tears: "Why did you shoot like this? Why did you shoot like this? Why!"

See the scene of 'the strong man cries'.

All irritability is gone.

Why do you want to shoot like this?

Need an answer?

Of course, this is by no means revenge!

This is the emotional shock of art!

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Sammy's Xiaoyuan face.

In his opinion, the heroic death scene of the protagonist is really beautifully shot!

Therefore, he did not hide the slightest, proudly raised his arms, and said in a neutral tone: "The ending is cool! I like this scene so much, burn it, flames!"

"Well said, Sammy!"

Mai Qilong immediately applauded the venue, his big eyes showed admiration, and he muttered quite narcissistically: "Burn, Lie Yan! Isn't this about me? Yeah!"

At this time, Sammy looked at the dragon's gaze, not to mention how gentle it was.

One person and one dragon look at each other, and they all feel that the other party is their confidant in this life!

Everyone in Hello stared at them, maybe finally understanding why these two got together.

At this time, Ke Lin finally recovered from his grief, and seeing the scene where the two looked at each other affectionately, he suddenly shivered.

At this moment, he couldn't help recalling...

When I was in "Say Hello to the World" back then, I was treated as a character prototype and interpreted all kinds of horrible experiences in a mess.

"Is making a movie so scary?" Colin couldn't help sighing in his heart.

But I have to say that after such a commotion, the sadness caused by the movie has faded a lot.

"Is the soundtrack okay?"

The ugly little round face of the capitalist once again turned the topic seriously to work.

Everyone in the music-confident band nodded one after another, expressing that there was no problem.

Colin even said loudly: "When I watched it, the tune was already echoing in my head."

"So miraculous?"

Sami looked at him suspiciously: "What's the noise? Is it the rattling sound after the brain is submerged in water?"
