Generally speaking, film companies do not allow directors to edit, and the reason for this is that the director will grab the eyebrows and beards. , But why do they grab their eyebrows and beards?But in fact, in the shooting of a movie, as the shooting progresses, the material that comes out will be somewhat different from the script; the imagined picture will be somewhat different from the final picture.Because the director followed the whole shooting process, and sometimes even got farther and farther away from the original idea in order to shoot some clips better.After getting the film, the director is mostly a fan of the authorities, and he doesn't know how to handle it. He doesn't know which part is good and which part is not. To be precise, he loves every part; he even makes unreasonable things. requirements, such as: "It took a lot of time to shoot this part! I must use it!" But in fact, this "segment that took a lot of time to shoot" may not be suitable for the overall feeling of the film, and it may not be the film The best way to tell the story; so in fact, the movies we see now may not necessarily conform to the original script.

In the general Hollywood system, editing is not involved in filming, and will not be "segments that took a lot of time to shoot"&e to restore the situation in the script, and at the same time, create dramatic tension to reinterpret the director from the audience's point of view A picture of an alarm clock.How to create dramatic tension in editing is related to the selected clips and the point of sound editing.A scene in a movie will have many camera positions.For example, in a scene where a couple are drinking coffee and chatting, there is a side shot of the two people, there is an over-the-shoulder shot, there is a close-up shot, and so on.The editor's job is to choose the right moment among the many clips.Use the right lens, choose the right interpretation, and under the right rhythm, show the story and express an emotion.In the end, the emotions are perfectly reflected and the whole story impresses the audience.

So why are good directors famous but not good editors?Because no matter how good the editor is, he can't save a bad shot, and what a good director shoots, the emotion in the material is consistent, as long as the editing can cooperate well.It was really easy to cut it, and the film should look like the director's dream!To put it bluntly, the editor is just adding and subtracting points in the later stage, and it still depends on how the director shoots.It can be said that where the upper limit and lower limit of a movie is determined by the director, and in the end the editor just makes such a movie reach the upper limit as much as possible.But even so, in the Hollywood circle, editors are still very important among professionals.Especially for well-known directors, the editors are basically employed by the queen.It's like Nolan's royal photographer Wally.Many well-known directors have their own editors.For example, Spielberg has an editor named Michael who is his queen!As for Jia Hongjian, he was basically Nolan's "editer".

anyway.What is Nolan wondering about Jia Hongjian?He was amazed by the growth of Jia Hongjian's editing ability!Originally, when Jia Hongjian edited, he was a bit ingenious, but now that Jia Hongjian has gone through such a period of time, for some reason, the editing feels like a master!If it is said that when editing "Batman" before, the things edited by Jia Hongjian felt very good, Nolan thinks it is because of the help of one aspect-for example, it is said that someone Cheng Long came to help edit the martial arts what?For example, I heard that Spielberg also helped in terms of literature and drama.The final editing was good, that's exactly as it should be.But now in such an "Inception", obviously neither Spielberg nor Cheng Long came to help!And Jia Hongjian was busy working alone in front of the three monitors, obviously every shot was edited by Jia Hongjian himself.Every cut in this edit gave Nolan the feeling of a master, it was just right and natural!

Also as a director.Nolan didn't know which of these shots in Jia Hongjian's hands had been shot many times, and which ones Jia Hongjian had put a lot of effort into, but when he watched Jia Hongjian's editing, it was really sympathetic. Don’t hold back anything when it’s time to cut it, it’s really a click and it’s cut off!This really made Nolan quite emotional!In fact, what Nolan didn't know was that this was Jia Hongjian's advantage after entering the industry as an outsider!Why do you say that?Because Jia Hongjian is actually a "professional audience", he watched too many Hollywood movies in his previous life, and even watched a lot of various art movies, so in fact, Jia Hongjian has already summed it up in his subconscious. There is a set of rules.Maybe such a set of rules is not aware of his main consciousness, and he can't even summarize it into words or express it in words, but when a picture is wrong, he can feel it is wrong!

In such a situation, asking him to be a director to make a film, in fact, he just regards the director's job as a preliminary work that he has to do in order to make the movie in his mind appear!And now such an editing job, in his eyes, is the real job of turning a movie into a movie!That's right, in Jia Hongjian's opinion, being a director is actually a very boring job, because the films made by directors are just fragments, and only being an editor can truly turn fragments into movies!He's a movie guy, he doesn't like fragments!He doesn't think it's so wonderful to work with celebrities, and he doesn't think it's so romantic to take a shot with a photographer in the wilderness. On the contrary, he thinks that in such a small room of ten square meters, sitting so In front of a three-square-meter workbench, facing three monitors equipped with a high-end host, this is the real "movie making"!

On the screen on the left in front of Jia Hongjian, the left half displays various scanned shot scripts, while the right half of the screen displays various digitized clip folder windows. video file.As for the display screen in the middle, the upper part is to display the pictures taken by different machines in the same time period, while the lower part is the overall time axis.For example, in a dialogue scene, the last thing the audience sees may be that when a person is speaking, the camera is facing this person, and when the person finishes speaking, the camera will switch to the other side to show the expression of another person or something.In fact, such a scene may be shot by two machines at the same time, so what is displayed on the upper part of Jia Hongjian's screen is the different shots shot by the two machines at the same time, and what he has to do is to shoot at the right time. Choose the right lens out.

Then on the display screen on the right, there is a full-screen zoomed-in video image, which is equivalent to the final edited image.Here, after such a person finished speaking, Jia Hongjian chose another screen on the middle screen, and then the screen on the right showed that the camera had switched directly to the other side.For Jia Hongjian, such a job is really creating movies!So for him, how much painstaking effort he put into the "preparation" process of making a film as a director really didn't make him feel distressed at all and couldn't bear to cut it!Because as an audience, what he values ​​is the final product!And having said that, the so-called kindness does not manage soldiers and righteousness does not manage money. Jia Hongjian is not a person who can't bear to deal with talents who have been trained for many years. How could he not even want to cut the shots that have been shot with a little effort?

On the other hand, Nolan didn't know how much he Jia Hongjian had learned from Spielberg and Cheng Long. Jia Hongjian, who used to edit according to the experience summed up in the subconscious of the audience, was in such a piece of paper. After the help and teaching of the two big brothers Wu, he is really reborn now, and he is really a bit of a master!And as a producer, director, editor, and reborn person, he, Jia Hongjian, knows the soul of such a movie so well that he can't understand it any more, so in fact, if he edits, he will really follow the director and the editor. It is the same result as a "soul mate", that is really a seamless effect!

The movies edited by Jia Hongjian may not have the artistic atmosphere of Nolan, and may not have all kinds of brain-burning designs with disrupted timelines.But it is precisely because of this that Jia Hongjian started everything from the perspective of the audience. It can be said that now he aims to "tell" the story wonderfully with the goal of being understood by the majority of the audience.Originally, the confusion of various dream spaces in "Inception" can already make the audience a little bit brain-burned, not to mention that many audiences still enter the movie theater without brains.So in fact, even if Jia Hongjian edits very superficially, it may be a bit brain-intensive for some viewers, but on the other hand, his editing method can also make many smart people discover after a little thought. The things to be told behind the story, it is easy for the audience to have a sense of intellectual accomplishment, as if they have solved the puzzle!Although Jia Hongjian deliberately lowered the difficulty of this puzzle, trying to ensure that most people can figure it out after a few seconds of thinking, but I have to say that one of the results of this is to make the rhythm of the film more difficult. The feeling is very good, so that the whole film definitely has a flowing beauty! (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
