011【Post-production】
Three weeks later, next to Yanjing Modern Avenue.
In an editing room called Zucchini Film and Television Post-Production Company, Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai were sitting around, watching Luo Yuan complete the post-editing work of "Welcome to the Window Together" bit by bit.
People were coming and going at the door of the editing room.
From time to time, the post-production staff passing by cast their eyes into Editing Room No. 3 and discussed in low voices——
"That director is really awesome!"
“I wrote, directed, acted, and did the post-production myself.”
"I've seen his editing efficiency. It's as if every shot has already formed a clear picture in his mind. If every director has his level, our company's editors might as well change careers."
Intermittent discussions.
Luo Yuan turned a deaf ear to the discussion outside the door. He was currently immersed in the editing work in front of him.
Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai looked confused.
They knew very well that the protagonist of the discussion among the staff outside the door was none other than classmate Luo Yuan sitting next to them——
But isn’t this too weird?
When did Luo Yuan become so awesome?
As a director, you may know a little bit about editing operations, but why is it that your editing work is completed at a higher level than a professional editor?
Are you afraid that you are robbing your job?
Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai could never forget the editor's resentful look after being driven away by Luo Yuan.
However, the two of them didn't ask too many questions.
Maybe it's because in the past two months, Luo Yuan showed so many things that were different from what he had in mind, that both of them became a little numb.
Luo Yuan's editing went very smoothly.
In order to implement his own will, he studied editing for a year in his previous life. He can easily master related software including Apple's FunalCut Pro.
To edit, you first need to combine the boards.
The editing assistant has already helped Luo Yuan complete these tasks such as scene division and sequence.
Then the editor makes the first cut.
The first cut is also called a rough cut. After the rough cut, it is processed and finished. During this process, the director of the film will usually follow the cut. In the end, the director can finalize the cut if he feels that the content is okay.
Luo Yuan chose not to use an editor.
He can handle the post-production editing part all by himself. Of course, some parts that he is not very good at can still be handled honestly by the professionals of this company.
The division of labor is clear.
Editors are really not needed.
Because he already has the finished product in his mind, he himself is the best editor of this show, and every frame he cuts can be used as a final cut!
Rough cut?
Fine cut?
nonexistent.
Luo Yuan directly cut it.
This is also the reason why the previous professional editor was so amazed by Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan's editing techniques were so smooth that it was almost impossible to find flaws...
"Finally finished cutting!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and stretched.
"The following is the color adjustment."
Looking at the picture that he had worked hard to edit for several weeks, Luo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
It is different from the excessive highlights in the original drama.
The lighting of this version shot by Luo Yuan is very professional and realistic. It refers to the lighting methods of some previous British dramas, which can not only clearly show the actors' facial features, but also achieve a certain beauty effect.
Xia Ran said: "How long will it take to end?"
Luo Yuan thought for a while: "After color grading, complete the mixing part, submit it to the project and export the film. We can prepare for the next step first."
"Ok, no problem."
The three of them entered the recording studio on the ninth floor of the company.
The second step is to record two songs, the opening, ending and even the interlude. There are no classic songs in the original version of "Together", and Luo Yuan wants to make "Together" a popular online drama in the world
, we need to start from all aspects, and songs are a very good breakthrough point.
The theme song he chose was "Youth Album".
This song is a song from the former group Baodao Komi Boy. This group later passed away and disbanded, but the song is remembered by many people.
Luo Yuan has always liked this song.
The most important thing is that this song not only has a strong melody, but also the lyrics are very consistent with the sentiment of "Together".
The ending song he chose was "Little Lucky".
This song comes from the movie "My Girlhood", a movie that focuses on youth. When it was released, it became a dark horse at the box office and made an actor named Wang Dalu famous. The song "Little Lucky" also followed
With the popularity of the movie, it has entered the major music charts and has been widely spread.
——————
"Luoyuan."
After completing the recording of "Memory of Youth" in the studio, Xia Ran, who was in charge of singing the song, couldn't help but ask again: "This song is very nice. Did you really write it?"
obviously.
This is not the first time that classmate Xia Ran has asked Luo Yuan this question.
"And "Little Lucky"."
Ai Xiaoai stared at Luo Yuan with burning eyes: "I feel that with the quality of this song, it can be used as the main album for some singers."
"So of course I wrote it."
Luo Yuan smiled and said: "Have you forgotten, I have taught myself songwriting before."
"Of course I remember, isn't it just because..."
Xia Ran suddenly paused, carefully observed Luo Yuan's reaction, smiled awkwardly and said: "The past is in the past, let's not mention it anymore, Xiao Ai, it's your turn to record next."
"Okay, okay."
Ai Xiaoai said quickly: "Let's record the second song, teacher, play the accompaniment of "Little Lucky"..."
"no problem."
The sound engineer made an OK gesture, Ai Xiaoai stood in front of the microphone, and soon Ai Xiaoai's singing sounded in the room...
Luo Yuan walked out of the door.
Although Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai are not professional singers, their singing skills are better than ordinary people. After all, they are students from the performance department, and their talents are relatively comprehensive.
Luo Yuan is not worried about this issue.
He is now thinking about the third and final link, which platform will "Bedroom Together" be played on?
There are many domestic video websites.
At this moment, Xia Ran's apologetic voice came from behind Luo Yuan: "Luo Yuan, I shouldn't have mentioned that matter."
Luo Yuan smiled.
Of course he knew what Xia Ran meant.
The original owner did compose songs before, because the dream of the original owner’s girlfriend was to become a singer...
Later they broke up.
Until they broke up, the original owner's girlfriend never sang any of the songs he wrote, which also shows that the original owner's creative skills were not very good.
However, Luo Yuan didn't care.
Just have a reason to push it up.
As friends, Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai almost never mentioned Luo Yuan's relationship in order to prevent them from touching Luo Yuan's wounds.
"Actually I don't mind."
Reaching out and patting Xia Ran on the shoulder, Luo Yuan said half-truthfully, "Because I am no longer the Luo Yuan you know."
"I know……"
Xia Ran looked like she understood: "You have really changed a lot during this period. Whether it is your directing ability or editing ability, you must have made up for a lot of things. I believe this drama will not be bad, and I also believe that she will have a good future."
I will definitely regret breaking up with you..."
Luo Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Did Xia Ran attribute his changes during this period to the impact of his career and love?
Hmm, it seems pretty good...
Chapter completed!
