Chapter 46: The Return

After walking out of Lin Xianzhang's courtyard, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he admires Lin Xianzhang very much, and has the seriousness and stubbornness of an older generation of artists.

If he couldn't convince him today, Chen Chen would really make himself bite the bullet and go on the fight. Even if he had the version in his mind, he wouldn't have the confidence to really make this movie well.

On the return flight, Chen Chen thought for a while and said to Su Moli: "On the next period of time, we have to wait for Director Lin's letter, and on the other hand, we should make some preparations here."

Now the two parties are just verbal agreement, so the next thing is the formal contract docking between the two parties' studios.

In the entertainment industry today, directors with a little more famous reputation usually have their own studios.

The difference is that some directors' studios are under the company they signed, while some directors appear as independent studios.

Lin Xianzhang belongs to the latter.

So the first thing is to sign a formal contract.

You should know that although the two parties have reached an intention to cooperate, there are still many details that need to be finalized one by one in actual operation.

From the profit sharing between the two studios to the specific shooting, equipment, personnel allocation, and the date and location of the shooting, we must negotiate in detail one by one.

Not to mention anything else, just the profit sharing, with the size of movie box offices of tens of millions, even the 0.1 point is a must-have.

As for other small details, the responsibilities and obligations that both parties should bear need to be determined in writing.

It's a little more trouble now, it's better to be arguing slowly later.

However, this is something that Su Moli should worry about as the general manager, so Miss Su nodded: "I will go back to the contract and go to the legal affairs officer Xiao Liu to discuss in detail, you don't have to worry."

Chen Chen continued: "In addition to this, the most urgent task for the studio is to set up the editing team's rack. When you go to the contract, remember one thing, you can give in to everything else. We must take the final cutting rights! Please find a few people for me, and I will bring people to cut this movie!"

Movies are the art of editing.

The crew made a series of scattered shots, but if you really want to combine these shots into a movie, you still have to rely on editing in the end.

Editing is the last and most important step in the formation of a movie!

Chen Chen can hand over the director's authority because he believes that he does not have the keen ability to use lenses like Lin Xianzhang.

But as he has always been worried, there are too many variables between a script and a movie.

Neither he nor Lin Xianzhang doubt that "Youth" is a good script, but if this script is filmed, it will be subject to any market, and no one can guarantee this.

Even though Chen Chen knew in his previous life that this movie would be a great success, every director has a different directing style and has a different ability to grasp the rhythm of the story.

The things that were photographed were naturally different.

The final cut is the most important means for Chen Chen to control the quality of this movie.

In fact, whether it is a movie or a literary work, there are always two most important core elements in any story, one is the character and the other is the rhythm.

Once these two points are grasped, the work will have a cornerstone.

It should be said that if all the movies on the market have poor box office or reputation, then in the end, there must be problems with one of the two or both.

A good script, in fact, is a vivid character image. What directors and actors need to do is to concretely transform the character image conveyed by such words.

That's the performance and the camera!

Just like Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", he said throughout his life that he would not survive without being crazy. He turned Yu Ji in the playbook into a real Yu Ji, and Cheng Dieyi is Yu Ji.

The acting skills of an actor actually depend on his expressiveness to the characters in the script. The more appropriate they fit with the characters in the play, the more successful the actor will be.

The director's camera language is the same. The actors play characters, and the directors direct the situation. Through sound, colors, light and shadow, and sets, and the actors' outstanding performance, they restore the real scenes in the story.

Chen Chen trusts Lin Xianzhang's directorial ability, and he has profound attainments in how to immerse the audience in the situation.

But in addition to this, there is another very important point in a successful movie, that is, its grasp of the rhythm of the story.

This requires testing the editing skills!

With a good story, how to tell the story well is a big problem.

The most common mistake directors make is editing.

This is actually easy to understand. Every shot in the movie is the director's hard work. Perhaps a shot that seems very inconspicuous to the audience is the director's heart that flashes his mind on the set.

So this leads to the director having many unscathing shots when editing.

Moreover, which lens is placed in front, which lens is placed behind, which lens needs to be deleted, which lens and which lens are combined, is itself a process of re-creation.

A small adjustment may bring completely different effects.

Chen Chen believes that Lin Xianzhang can shoot the shot effects needed for the movie, but he is really not a compliment for his ability to grasp the rhythm of the story.

He carefully read all the scenes Lin Xianzhang had filmed before, including TV series and movies, and found a problem. Any TV series made by this great director is very popular, but any movies he filmed are basically lost.

So although he has strong director skills in the industry, few people ask him to make movies, and most of them shoot TV series.

There is no other reason, because TV series are relatively less dependent on editing, and are more filmed and edited in the narrative order of the script.

But movies are not, editing can be said to be the soul of the movie!

Therefore, the final right must be obtained.

Not that in terms of grasping the rhythm of the story, Chen Chen thinks he must be stronger than Lin Xianzhang.

But because there is already a reference template in his mind.

He may not have such strong ability to grasp the rhythm, but he can still do it!

Su Moli had no objection to this point, just worried that Lin Xianzhang would have any objections, but Chen Chen insisted, so she chose to believe it.

However, Su Moli's reason is different from Chen Chen, so why she chose to believe it.

It was because she felt that the script was written by Chen Chen, so it was natural that he would definitely be stronger in grasping the rhythm.
