Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 165 Overnight
"Final Destination" was shot in great detail. After shooting, the total length of film was 6225 meters, and after the rough cut, there were still more than meters left.

In order to increase participation, Link decided to edit all the shots by himself.

The second rough cut took 12 days, and sometimes I would be busy until midnight. Except for eating and sleeping, I would spend all my time in the studio editing the film.

After the rough cut is completed, other editors and production assistants are called in to look for bloopers.

The third round of fine cutting took three days.

The editing work of "Final Destination" has been preliminarily completed.

Next comes post-production, including digital processing, sound effects, sound effects processing, visual effects rendering, as well as soundtracks and theme songs, etc.

There are several parts of this film that require the addition of computer special effects, including the cabin explosion, the shadow of death, etc. The current CGI technology is not yet mature, and it is more difficult to produce, which will probably take a few more weeks.

The production department estimates that it will take four to five weeks to complete the post-production work.

"It's finally over. I can take a break now."

In the office, Link stretched comfortably, and there was a crackling sound from his body.

"It's time to rest. Look at how you look now. You're no different from a homeless person on the street."

Liu Xiaoli pointed at his thick hair and messy clothes and joked.

"Really? Which homeless guy would have an assistant as pretty as you?"

Link was about to hug Liu Xiaoli to reward herself for her fatigue over the past few days, but he pulled his arm back halfway.

"What's wrong? Have you suddenly felt guilty and decided not to be a gangster anymore?"

There was some loss in Liu Xiaoli's eyes.

"No, I haven't showered today. I smell, and I don't want to stink you."

"As if anyone would dislike you."

Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to move into his arms and hugged his waist with a blushing face.

Link looked at her fair and pretty face, the shy and playful look in her eyes, and the gentleness and intelligence in her bones. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips, holding the woman tightly in his arms.

In the evening, Link stayed overnight at Rex Apartment.

The moon is beautiful at night, and Chang'e in the moon is indeed beautiful and charming.

She is neither fat nor thin, 1.71 meters tall and 58 kilograms in weight. She is lighter than Monica and Jennifer, but more easily addicted than them.

She is more traditional and more reserved than European and American women, and she cannot let go even after giving birth to a child.

Sleeping with her felt like doing something immoral, a little sinful but also a little exciting.

"Link, you should go to work."

Before dawn, Liu Xiaoli pushed his shoulder.

"work?"

Link opened his eyes and checked his watch. It was just after five in the morning.

"What kind of work is this at this time?"

"Can you please go to the company first? I haven't told Xixi about our relationship. It would be bad for her to see you at home in the morning."

"Don't worry, Xixi calls me godfather. She has long recognized our relationship in her heart. It's okay for her to see me here."

"I'm still a little worried. Xixi is five years old and has started to understand things. Our relationship will affect her mental health. How about I make an agreement with her? Next time you come to stay overnight, I promise not to let you leave early."

Liu Xiaoli hugged his arm and shook it. "Okay!"

Link didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Xiaoli, nor did he want to affect Xixi's growth, so he yawned and put on his clothes.

"Link, am I in trouble?"

Liu Xiaoli hugged his shoulders, her body pressed against his back, her voice filled with guilt.

Link lifted her chin and kissed her red lips.

"Never. You are my woman and the closest person to me in this world. Sister Xiaoli, let me take care of you and Xixi. From now on, the three of us are a family."

Liu Xiaoli looked up into his eyes, bit her lower lip and nodded.

With this nod, another half hour was gone.

Link tiptoed out of the apartment a little after six o'clock to avoid waking up little Sissi.

After returning to the company, Link did not rest. He went to the film production studio and actively participated in the post-production of "Final Destination".

Try to participate in every aspect of the production, on the one hand to learn experience, on the other hand to increase participation.

At the same time, he can also use his experience to provide some suggestions to the post-production team, such as the selection of some background music.

The original movie's background music used several songs by country music legend John Denver, but since he is still alive and did not die in the plane crash, they could not be used.

Link suggested using songs by Buddy Holly, a famous contemporary American rock singer and one of the earliest youth idols in rock music. He died in a plane crash in 1958 at the age of 22. His representative works such as "That'll Be the Day", "Peggy Sue" and "Oh, Boy" sound good.

However, after watching the movie, James Horner, the composer who composed the music for the film, suggested using a short piece of John Denver's song as the background music because his song was more suitable here.

Link didn't object.

James Horner is 40 years old this year. He has been composing music for many Hollywood movies since the early 80s. He is one of the more powerful composers in Hollywood today. His representative works include "Braveheart", "Titanic" and "Avatar".

But Link remembered that this guy seemed to have died in a plane crash.

I hope that after watching "Final Destination", he will develop a fear of flying and take fewer flights in the future, and perhaps he can escape the disaster.

After the filming of "Final Destination" was completed, many media reported on this matter. In addition to promoting the completion of Link's third movie, they also reported some gossip.

This included Link bullying young actors on the set, which led to the actors seeking counseling from a psychologist after filming.

There are also rumors about Link and Sofia, Angelina Jolie and others, saying that Link was picking up girls while filming a movie, treating the set as a love scene, and that he was a romantic director. It also implies that Link is not a professional director and his new movie may be bad.

Among these news reports, there was one that was reported by many media.

The news came last year when Link was promoting "Paranormal Activity" and he said in an exclusive interview with TNT TV that his next movie would not be promoted through hype.

As for the first two Link films, some media also said that the first three films all relied on hype to sell well.

Now that Link has promised not to use any hype to promote the movie, many people are looking forward to whether the movie will continue to sell well.

After reading this news, Link found Jon Gordon, who was in charge of film promotion, and asked the publicity department to arrange some articles to publicize this news. All the articles were divided into two categories. One category believed that his film would fail miserably without hype and marketing, while the other category believed that since Link's first two films sold well, the third one should be similar and would not lose money.

Now that the media is actively reporting this, guess the film company will save a lot of money in publicity.

As to whether this is considered a foul.

Of course it doesn’t count.

The news was first reported by the media, and he took advantage of the situation to warm up the movie in advance, which can't be considered hype.
