Coquettish Rebirth

When Jia Hongjian and the special effects team prepared all the necessary props, the time passed quickly. ◇↓Top◇↓Point◇↓Xiao◇↓ Said, in a blink of an eye, the post-production of "Batman" is almost done, so Jia Hongjian has to start editing.For editing, Jia Hongjian made a special phone call to Cheng Long. After Cheng Long finished filming, he called Jia Hongjian and said that he would cut the action scenes by himself.Cheng Long attaches great importance to the editing rights of the films he handles. He has no choice but to work for others. Hollywood does not allow him to be a director, only let him be an actor. He can only suggest one at most. What kind of scene is made, but the post-editing is completely out of his share.There is nothing he can do about it. In order to make money, he can only hold his nose and admit it.This is also the reason why he thought it would be better to return to China after making his way to Hollywood.

When he didn't come to Hollywood before, he wanted to come to Hollywood in various ways. When he came to Hollywood for the first time, he met a director who didn't understand anything, and he was pissed off!It was from that moment that he realized that foreign devils didn't understand anything, and that foreign devils weren't good at everything!Later, Anxin developed in Hong Kong, and then was introduced to Hollywood by Jia Hongjian in the mid-to-late 90s. He cooperated with Jia Hongjian and also cooperated with other companies. After the cooperation, he felt that Hollywood was not very interesting.On the one hand, many well-known directors are actually of the same level in his opinion. For example, after he finished filming "Who Am I Remake", he cooperated with the United States on a film such as "Rush Hour", and he suggested that He used a lot of scenes and action designs that he had used before, thinking that the foreigner director would look back at his previous films and think about how he should be able to learn how to edit and get the camera position, but the foreigner still didn’t watch it!The final clip.Although ordinary people feel happy looking at it, in Cheng Long's view, it is simply a failed product!

After working with Americans a lot, he discovered that Americans, the best directors, don't know as much about how to shoot and edit action scenes as he does!In his eyes, Hollywood was so awesome before!The world's largest film studio!How much money do you make every year!People's top stars are worth 2000 million US dollars for a play!How many times better is this than a Hong Kong filmmaker?We are definitely not on the same level?As a result, I have been in contact for several years.He feels that in terms of action design, shooting, and editing of action movies, his ideas and experience will definitely make him the person who knows how to make martial arts movies in the United States and even the world, which immediately makes him interested in Hollywood. ?So the "Around the World in 80 Days" and the like that he took over the past two years, it's just a bad rhythm, it's a rhythm that makes money no matter what the level of the film is!He doesn't bother to help those directors. If we have time, let's earn some money, and then go back to Hong Kong and the mainland to invest and make films by ourselves, wouldn't it be good?It's better than working with foreigners who don't know anything!

As for cooperating with Jia Hongjian in such a "Batman", although he is just helping Jia Hongjian in return, according to his personality.He also tried his best not to give up the editing rights to Jia Hongjian!He himself is a carefree character who doesn't think about others, and he is also a perfectionist who can ng dozens or hundreds of times for a single shot. Can he keep improving the movies he produces?But Jia Hongjian was not so attached to such things as rights, he was not as stupid as other film company bosses in Hollywood!He, Jia Hongjian, is really good at it!Let Cheng Long come to help edit, the box office will definitely be higher in the future, and the play must be better!This return product is of good quality.Isn't it a credit to everyone's face and more money in their pockets?How good is this?And the most important thing is, if the editing rights are handed over to Cheng Long.Couldn't he, Jia Hongjian, come over and steal his teacher?

That's right, Jia Hongjian likes to ponder and learn things the most, so when he has the opportunity to be lazy and learn what other people can do, how could he refuse and let it go?So of course he readily agreed to let Cheng Long edit it.After the call was made to Cheng Long.Cheng Long said that he has an event in Japan in the past few days, and then he will go to Malaysia, and he may come to the United States the day after tomorrow at the earliest.Of course, Jia Hongjian said that he was not in a hurry, he could edit other normal movie clips first, and leave the fighting clips to Cheng Longlai.Cheng Long was so happy.Lian Lian said to his younger brother Jia Hongjian that the fighting scenes he cut would never disappoint Jia Hongjian, and would definitely amaze the Yankees!

While waiting for Cheng Long to come, Jia Hongjian suddenly thought of a question while editing. He can steal from Cheng Long for this martial arts scene, but what about this literary play?Logically speaking, the editing of martial arts is so technical and knowledgeable, and the effect is very different in the eyes of professionals from the eyes of professionals if the editing is good and the editing is not good. So will literary operas also have this kind of skill and knowledge? Knowledge?Maybe it’s the same as martial arts, people who don’t know much about literature and opera come to edit it, and the edited things may not be clear to the common people, and they think they can watch it anyway, but in the eyes of professionals, there are big flaws in it?Jia Hongjian remembered that he had heard that this director was the best at fooling around, because people who don't understand anything can still watch the things made by ordinary people, as long as the film is intentionally made so that people can understand it. That's fine.Things made by good directors are indeed good, but things made by bad directors are not so bad!Then under such a situation, will the things we edited out of the films we made before belong to the same level as the films made by the directors who are fooling around?

Although it is said that Jia Hongjian did not consider a major such as film as his own profession, although he was just playing for tickets, but then again, he is a person who feels that his skills are not overwhelming, so why don't he learn two more tricks?He wanted to learn two more tricks, but who to learn from was a problem, but Jia Hongjian felt that it would not be a problem if it was for him!Why do you say that?Because there is Spielberg among our old guys!This Spielberg has been our friend for many years. Although we didn't know Spielberg when he was young, we are still friends now!After more than ten years of cooperation, everyone has a good relationship with each other. Logically speaking, it should be no problem for us to ask Spielberg for advice?

So Jia Hongjian went to find Spielberg, and after hearing Jia Hongjian's request, Spielberg agreed after thinking about it.Originally, at the beginning, he always thought that Jia Hongjian was not interested in film editing. Later, seeing Jia Hongjian started shooting and editing movies, he wanted to teach Jia Hongjian a little bit, but seeing Jia Hongjian's kind of He doesn't have much to do with playing with tickets, otherwise he wants to teach Jia Hongjian and won't be willing to learn, and he has no place to put his face on, right?Now that he heard that Jia Hongjian wanted to learn, Mr. Spielberg was very happy—because in his feeling, Jia Hongjian was really talented!Even though he has never studied or worked hard in the industry, he can do it right away and still make a living. Moreover, when he was filming "Saving Private Ryan" and other movies, Jia Hongjian gave him Spear Berg has a lot of good ideas!From this point of view, he really thought that Jia Hongjian was suitable for development in the film industry, otherwise how could he have wanted to take the initiative to teach Jia Hongjian about things?

Now that Jia Hongjian wants to learn, Spielberg is willing to teach.Soon he came to the editing room, and began to teach Jia Hongjian some things while watching Jia Hongjian's editing—"When editing literary and drama, I think your ideas are almost in place, and you have understood every scene. It’s all about containing something you want to express, isn’t it? And the lens is already concise enough, not too complicated, which is very good, especially as a person who has not learned relevant knowledge and is directly entering the industry as a layman. It was made later..." Spielberg commented after watching Jia Hongjian's editing for several hours.When Jia Hongjian edited, this Spielberg sat behind Jia Hongjian, watching him edit without saying a word.If this were to be given to someone else in Jia Hongjian's position, they might feel guilty, after all, sitting behind him was a world-renowned movie master!

But Jia Hongjian has a big heart, or according to a more Chinese term, he has rough nerves.He didn't have much awe of Spielberg. Although he respected him, he wasn't in awe. After all, we were old acquaintances who had known each other for more than ten years. As for Spielberg sitting behind him, was he nervous?Not to mention Spielberg, even if the god of movies came to the world and sat behind him, he wouldn't be nervous!After Spielberg had finished praising Jia Hongjian, he began to talk about the shortcomings, "But it's not that there are some things that are not in place. Some lens choices are still too complicated, or to be more professional, that is, the picture Design fluidity is not enough…”

Screen design fluidity?What does it mean?Jia Hongjian has never had a professional education, so he can't understand these terms!Seeing that Jia Hongjian didn't understand, Spielberg didn't wait for him to ask, but explained directly—"I'm talking about the fluidity of the screen design, not the fluidity of the lens. The so-called lens The fluidity of the camera, that is to say, the camera needs to move, and the changing objects need to be photographed. This is the most basic silly concept in film schools. It is a concept that students memorize but is useless. I mean fluidity. It means that it should be the same as... comics, and show a characteristic that allows the audience to tell what it is talking about at a glance. In short, your current screen design is a bit ingenious, a bit showy, and there are often Too many irrelevant things will appear. For example, in the shot of two people walking in the park, you will first give a big perspective to show the beauty of the entire park, and then in such a big perspective shot, two ants the size of People are walking together, in fact, there is a problem with this lens design, because too much information is displayed, so that the audience can't pay attention to the core idea you want to express at the first time!"

ha?Expressing too much information?Jia Hongjian was curious at the time, did he have this problem?By the way, isn't a movie just about expressing a lot of information?Isn't this the only way to stand up to pondering?Isn't that what makes the director look awesome? (To be continued..)
