Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 18: Differences Caused by Different Editing Versions
"Fifteen days." Teng Shu looked at his phone.

Fifteen days have passed since the filming of Dead Silence began. It took him fifteen days to complete the film. It has to be said that this speed is still very fast, but what follows is the highlight of the film.

clip.

"Ah, editing." Teng Shu patted his face.

Editing is a very time-consuming task because the director needs to constantly select from the filmed movies and finally condense the entire movie.

If a movie has a total running time of three to four hours or even longer after it is fully shot, then the director's job is to edit and condense these parts into the final version that will be presented to the audience, and then he or she also needs to complete the soundtrack, special effects, dubbing and other work.

The importance of editing in movies naturally needs no further explanation. Depending on the editing method, a movie may have two versions, such as the Justice League in the previous life and Justice League (director's cut).

However, Teng Shu did not have so many concerns. The movie "Dead Silence" was basically fully invested by him. He was the director, wrote the script, and was also the boss. Naturally, Teng Shu could cut the movie however he wanted.

"Basically, we just need to edit it according to the original version of "Dead Silence", except that those newly added scary scenes also need to be edited in." Teng Shu rubbed his temples. Fortunately, he had already read the original plot of Dead Silence, and he knew the entire process of the movie Dead Silence by heart, which made his editing work very easy.

As for other issues regarding dubbing and music, there will be special post-production staff to help Teng Shu deal with them. All Teng Shu has to do is to release the public version of the movie "Dead Silence".

This caused Teng Shu to fall into a longer period of entanglement. Fortunately, it took him three days to finish editing "Dead Silence" and then handed it over to the company's post-production department.

"Finish the music and subtitles as soon as possible." Teng Shu pinched his brows. During the three days, he kept revising the parts that he was not satisfied with. He even had the idea of ​​asking the actors to reshoot another take several times. This also made Teng Shu realize why sometimes even though the clip had already been passed, a few takes had to be kept.

"Okay, boss." Several late-stage executives looked at the dark circles under Teng Shu's eyes and spoke in a much lower voice.

When Teng Shu left the company, he saw the old butler Shibata who had been waiting here for a long time, and the other party was looking at him with heartache.

"Master Teng Shu, let me take you back to rest." The old butler Shibata came up quickly. Teng Shu waved his hand when he saw this. Although his face looked a little listless at the moment, it was actually an illusion. He got enough sleep, but he hadn't stayed up late for a long time and now he suddenly stayed up late, which led to the appearance of dark circles under his eyes.

"Grandpa Shibata, has anything happened recently?" Teng Shu asked the old butler. He has been busy filming a movie recently and has not paid much attention to other times. He has also experienced the feeling of his old father being busy with company affairs and having no time to go home to rest.

The old housekeeper quickly shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then drove Teng Shu back home. Teng Shu lay on his soft bed, and eventually he could not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already dark. Teng Shu stretched, and Little Q jumped onto Teng Shu and rubbed against him happily.

"Good evening, Little Q." Teng Shu yawned. His Little Q always slept in the same bed with him. However, even though they had always slept together, Teng Shu had never seen what Little Q looked like without the puppet cover.

But Teng Shu also knew that Mimikyu was a Pokémon that was originally full of mystery, and the Alliance had specifically stated that people should not see Mimikyu's true form, so Teng Shu chose to listen to others' advice and eat his fill. But sometimes Teng Shu would also think, if Mimikyu's true form was so terrifying, then in the face of a battle, if Mimikyu suddenly revealed its true form, would it be a surprise effect?

Looking at Xiao Q, Teng Shu felt that he was already a god if he could do this.

You know, even though he and Xiao Q have cultivated feelings for so many years, Xiao Q is still unwilling to reveal his true form to him, let alone expose his true form to fight. It is estimated that if he is forced to do so, Mimikyu's loyalty will drop rapidly.

"Xiao Q, how does it feel to be filming a movie?" Teng Shu picked up Xiao Q.

Little Q is the puppet that was first given to Jamie in Dead Silence. Except for some shots where real puppets were used, Little Q performed in all other shots. I have to say that Little Q's acting is quite good.

But essentially, Little Q doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to turn the eyes painted on the Pikachu doll in the designated place to look at Jamie.

Little Q was happily jumping around the Teng tree, and it was obvious that it was very happy.

Teng Shu rubbed it with a smile, then sat up from the bed. However, just as he sat up, Teng Shu saw a document on the cabinet beside his bed. Teng Shu picked it up and took a look.

Above is a joint investment statement, with the names of Alliance Films, Tutu Dog Film Production and Dream Studios all on it. They jointly invested 30% of the cost of Teng Shu's film and took a part of the profits.

The money has been transferred to Teng Shu's account.

"Joint investment?" Teng Shu frowned slightly. Staying up late for a long time gave him a headache, but now he has recovered.

"But it doesn't matter." Teng Shu put the document aside.

He knows what this investment means.

Even though Teng Shu is the son of Zvochi Mujin and has the support of the giant Devon Company, movies have always been a field that Devon Company has not intervened in. Now that he has broken into the industry on his own, if he wants to make a name for himself, he naturally has to make money together.

Moreover, the Alliance Film Company can allow Teng Shu's films to be broadcast in all regions of the alliance, and Tutu Dog Film Production Company and Dream Studios are also the leading companies in the film industry. Allowing them to participate can also minimize the obstacles to Silent in scheduling and publicity.

Although these big companies are unlikely to offend Dewen Company, and don't think highly of the debut work of a new director like Teng Shu, you can't refuse to give it to them if they don't want it.

This is how it is in business. It is best to follow the established rules. Otherwise, if you act like a rookie, you are bound to get into trouble.
