Chapter 198 Editor(2/2)
"You? Are you Chen Fei?" The old man widened his eyes, his voice trembled with excitement. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Chen Fei, his finger trembling constantly.
"Shh--" Chen Fei immediately made a gesture of not making a sound. The old man reacted quickly and immediately controlled his excitement.
"Are you Wu Meng?" Chen Fei asked.
"Yes, I am Wu Meng, Mr. Chen...I..."
"Let's go outside and go to my car and say."
"OK."
Two people left the community one after another.
Chen Fei's car was parked in the parking lot not far away. The two of them got into the car and then started to talk.
"Teacher Wu, I heard you are very experienced in editing action movies, are you?" Chen Fei asked a question.
He wanted to talk to Wu Meng first and learn about the other party's background.
Wu Meng knew that Chen Fei was taking the test of himself as soon as he heard this, so he quickly answered seriously: "When we prepare for a fighting scene, we need to consider many points, movement arrangement, movie art, stunts, music, and even explosion effects. These elements are very important in making a fighting scene with a full sense of cinema. However, if we want to perform more dynamic and realistic, it is inseparable from post-production editing.
After so many years of experience, I think that if you want to edit a good action movie, you need a large number of action shots and reaction shots.
For example, the reaction shot of a cutting b and b is very painful, but he still stood up and counterattacked a. The audience knew that b was desperate at this time and was easily brought into the fighting mood by b's reaction shot. Such a fighting scene has both movement and emotion.
Secondly, when editing, you need to give the action an acceleration to make the action look more realistic and powerful, rather than forcing the producer to slow down the playback of the material to let the audience see him punch or stretch his legs.
Of course, there is another way to cut off a few frames of the picture as a whole. Instead of slowing down the playback speed of each frame, it is better to cut off a few frames of the picture as a whole to make the picture appear more intense.
The last thing to be careful is to create sound effects.
Simply dragging the sound effects onto the timeline is not enough to make people feel that actors are fighting each other on the screen. We need to add some filtering to the sound effects so that they sound like they were recorded on the spot, so as not to be distorted.”
Wu Meng started to tell it one by one.
Experts will know if it is there any. After hearing Wu Meng's words, Chen Fei knew that Wu Meng's level has reached a height. It is really not an exaggeration to call him the first action editor in China, so he said straight to the point: "Teacher Wu, I want to invite you to join my crew and become my editor. I heard your phone call just now. You seem to have encountered some trouble. Let's do this. If you agree to join us, I can advance your salary for three to five years in advance. As for the specific salary, someone in the company will talk to you, but I promise that you will not disappoint you. In addition, your wife is sick and hospitalized... If necessary, I can come forward to help you solve it. I have some friendship with the director of the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Capital University, and I can contact you."
Chen Fei showed his sincerity.
Wu Meng was very excited when he heard this. He held Chen Fei's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you, thank you. I know that nothing can express my gratitude at this moment, so... I will do it for you. I will express my gratitude to you with my work!"
Chen Fei shook hands with him, and then said, "Oh, by the way, Teacher Wu, do you have any experience in European and American style editing?"
"European and American style?" Wu Meng was stunned.
Chen Fei said: "Yes, I want to cut two versions of the movie "Wolf Warrior", one is the Chinese version and the other is the European and American version. The European and American version needs to be considered from the perspective of European and American audiences. The cut version must conform to their aesthetics and their tastes. The most important point is to make it easier for Western audiences to understand and feel more immersive."
Wu Meng heard it, pondered for a while, and finally came to: "Mr. Chen, to be honest, I have not studied much about European and American style movie editing. However, if Mr. Chen can trust me, then I will give me a week. At that time, I will definitely come up with a plan that will satisfy Mr. Chen. I have lived in the United Nations for a while before and I still have a good understanding of Western aesthetics, so I am still very confident in myself!"
